Chereads / World End: The Successor's Contract / Chapter 22 - Fight club

Chapter 22 - Fight club

Standing a few feet away from her opponent, Uta showed no sign of fear, everyone's eyes were fixed on her wondering what one of the great servants of the successor could do.

"Please don't take this personally, I'm just following orders," Sira said before launching herself toward Uta.

Uta, with no stress at all, began dodging the punches Sira was throwing her way, the way she moved it was like she was dancing on the battlefield.

Uta has always been one who enjoyed the thrill of battle., but with finding Zeno on her mind, the thrill isn't exactly a comfort to her.

"Is this the best you can do? I must say, I'm disappointed" Uta slammed her feet to the ground before grabbing hold of Sira's arm and lifting her to the sky.

In an instant, Sira felt her body slamming into the ground. She was so shocked that she didn't even know the next move she should take.

Looking at the pitiful gaze that Uta was throwing at her from the ground, she couldn't help but feel insulted.

"Are we done here?" Uta let go of Sira's arm before returning to her position, she had no intention of dragging the fight any longer than it needed to be.

Sira stood up from the ground, poking Uta with so much rage in her eyes, where she comes from, leaving your battle out of pity or fear was nothing more than being disrespectful to your opponents.

Of course, Uta knew this, she just didn't care enough to consider it.

Sira growled as her body began to grow more masculine, "Don't look down on me!" She yelled.

Uta turned as she noticed the massive amount of magic power boost Sira was letting out, "Oh!" Uta grinned.

With one step, Sira flung herself to the front striking a very powerful blow at Uta.

Although Uta was able to block it with her arms, the impact still left a wild explosive force nonetheless.

"Tch, she has gotten stronger," Uta said as she propelled her body backward to gain some distance.

Sira, still in her angered state, charged toward Uta, with so much speed that the floor itself couldn't withstand the force she was letting on.

Uta stood still and didn't move a finger, watching as Sira was charging toward her like a senseless beast.

Once Sira had gotten close to her and was about to land a strike, Uta stretched out her right hand, signing her fingers as a pistol before aiming it at Sira.

"Bang!" With these words, a red magic spiral appeared at the tips of Uta's fingers before turning green and shaping itself into a tiny beam of light.

Not even the fastest man on earth could dodge an attack that close and fast, the blast went straight through Sira's arm and kept on moving until it hit a giant rock a few meters from where they were fighting.

The whole crowd was stunned, including Dazai, who knew something so diminutive could create such massive damage.

Everything in the surrounding rock blew up into smithereens, nothing was around there anymore, except for the huge cannons that were caused by the blast.

Sira fell to her knees with her eyes widened in shock, she thought she was a goner, looking at her arm that had nothing to no injuries on it, barely a scratch.

Ohh, it seems I went a little too far, but that should do it" Uta sighed before striding over to Sira and leading her help from the ground.

"Thank you" Sira grabbed hold of Uta's hands.

Uta pulled her up from the ground and immediately walked over to Dazai, "Are you satisfied now?" She said, looking at Dazai who had no expression on his face.

Being a leader and all, it was something that he developed over the years, and why his village, Fiora is one of the feared places in the whole south region.

"Yes, you might be one of the great servants of the successor," Dazai stood up from his seat, looking at Sira who stood behind Uta with a bleak look on her face.

"And yet, you don't seem all that surprised," Uta uttered.

"Well yes, you are powerful, no question there, but you see… There's a difference between strength and overwhelming power "His body started to omit magic essences so powerful that the entire place felt suffocating.

Uta, although feeling a little threatened by his power, didn't bat an eye and remained relatively calm.

The toxic air that was around Dazia suddenly died down and a small smile made its way to his face, "Please make yourself at home here, welcome to the Shintaku village" He said.

Staring down at Sira he stretched out his hands which in term was him telling her to come over.

She slowly made her way towards him, holding her hand and leading her back into his castle.

Uta turned to see her friends, completely stone-cold for everything they just saw, with a smile on her face she waved at them.

"She's a freaking psychopath, we could have died," Andrew thought to himself.

After a few more questions from the high end, they made their way back into the village.

Using another one of Anna's jewelry, they were able to pay for a place to stay and food to eat.

They still plan on finding Zenk, but for that they need Andrew, so they had to rest up to continue their search the next day.

When they got to see their apartment it wasn't exactly home sweet home, the room was messy and there were multiple holes in the ceiling that drops of water dripped through.

The room had two beds and one window. They couldn't help but mop about their new situation.

Once they had all settled in, Anna and Ava went out to explore the village to ask some questions about their own village.

It was only Uta and Andrew left in the apartment, one could say they are the laziest members of the group.

"Hey, I wanna ask you something" Andrew, laying on the bed, asked Uta who was looking at the view of the village from the window.

"Uh?"

"Tell me, everything you know about these crystals, I deserve to know that much" Andrew asked.

Ava and Anna walked in with a bowl of stakes in their hands, "We're back, you won't believe what we found out" Anna said before placing the bowl on the bed.

"What is going on?" Ava asked, she could see the tension in the room and the fact that Andrews's eyes were fixed on Uta was what she led on to.

Uta sighed, looking at Andrew with a half-sided look, her blue eyes glowed as she asked him, "Are you sure, you wanna know?"

"Of course," He replied.

"Okay then" She went over to the bed and sat down beside Andrew holding his hands before stretching the other out to Ava.

They all held each other's hand in a circle, they were confused but didn't say anything since they had no idea what was going on.

Uta closed her eyes, "Reminisce me, lord

Die dow, show me a path to which I can recall".
