"Com'on dude, it's only a one night stand." The man standing besides Xavier spoke, his tone jovial and free of worries. Unfortunately, his words were a bit too...
"I don't swing that way, give me a break." Xavier, spoke even though he did not want to, nor know what what say. Everything was just following the same process as before, but with his consciousness from the future hidden within.
"It's only today. We have been fighting for days on end, and as a commander, you aren't really planning on dying a virgin are you? I mean look, who would respect you?
"Picture this then... would you, let us say you okay, would you, respect a man–— no, listen to a man who tells you to go to war, but aren't courageous enough to pop his cherry?"
The man besides him, who seemed to be of the same age as Xavier, appearance wise, spoke with an enticing tone.
"....."
Xavier was left speechless. Logically, that should not make sense. Not at all. But if you were a commander, and your subordinates could do something you could not...
That would be the start of immense disrespect and mockery. Especially if the topic was the same one they were talking about. How can you speak of War, if you cannot even conquer a woman on bed?
"....."
The more Xavier thought about it, the more he convinced himself that his best friend might be right for once. The man besides him smiled as he saw this.
He was tall fellow, that was a few centimeters taller than Xavier, who was around 1,7 meters tall. He was 1,8 meters, had brown hair that was cut below his nape.
Brown eyes that complimented his hair, and a slim muscular figure that made him seem like a peak human. The outfit he wore, almost compliemented his body, as it was neither tight, nor too loose.
He had a tan complexion. He was also quite talented, being a super genius, which was why he was a literal to become a Saint. In fact, he could have been much more.
But due to humans only capping at Saint hood, he was stuck at being a Saint for many years. He had no way of attaining godhood, and nor did he want to change races.
But he did not seem bothered. There were tens of thousands of being just like him within the Sumerian Dynasty. This was normal. And he was not that hungry for power.
Whilst Xavier was almost the opposite. He had nice, long black hair, a bulky figure, and along with his slightly short height, it made him seem like a muscle man.
But his muscles were not too bulky, as he was still leaning on the slender side of body figure. His eyes were also dark, and his complexion was quite pale, yet not too pale.
He was your ordinary practitioner, not a genius at all. Just one of the many averages out there. But living in an Era where a person can actually be anything they want, in due time, as long as they had the resources, made it possible for even averages to attain godhood.
As long as a person could live long enough, and also have the required resources, even if they were average, they could become gods in just a hundred years of time.
Let alone those who were genuises, and heaven defyers. They could do the same in just years, not decades nor centuries. And some might not even need resources to become gods.
Unfortunately, both friends were only still normal humans through and through.
"I will think about it. Let's drop it for now." Xavier, though finding truths in the statement if his friend, still chose to stick to his values at the moment.
"Whatever dude, whatever floats your mind. Ad long as it makes you happy." The man shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, not bothered much by Xavier's response.
Right at this moment, a woman could be seen running towards their direction. She seemed flustered and out of breathe, and her whole body was covered in clothes.
Her head was also covered by a cloth, only revealing her eyes. She staggered on her way, and fell down quite pitifully. Her posture was embarrassing, but sge did not care.
She stood up moments later and continued running, seemingly embracing something as if to protect it with her life.
"Whats going on?" Xavier inquired to himself, as he turned to look behind the lady, nut could not see anyone chasing her. Until moments later, when a group of men appeared from a corner.
"Dont involve yourself." The man besides him said sternly, as he opted to move out of the way to give the woman space to run. Xavier nodded abd dud the same.
"I won't." He also added. But men, despite being Great commanders, did not seem to be intent on involving themselves in whatever problem was going on.
One might think hey we're not doing their jobs, but as commanders of legions id war, their sole purpose was to lead men to fight, kill and slaughter the enemies.
All to protect the Dynasty. Not to manage the internal structure of the city. That was for the guards and other warriors, adventures and mages.
Plus, they were unaware who was in the wrong here. If it was the woman, and they stop her, then they did a great job. But if she was innocent, and they still stop her, wouldn't whatever happen to her be on them?
And, they did not know how powerful the other party chasing her was. Both of them had no backing, why would they risk their lives when they have much heavier burdens?
"....."
"....."
Both stood aside and watched everything with cold, expressionless gazes. They were 100% not intent on doing anything.
But, what occurred next, made their decision the worst they made, and yet the best.
The woman ran into other beings, some not as cold and heartless as the two commanders. One if them being an Epic warrior, who, seemed to want to play hero.
"Miss, are you okay, what's the matt...er?" The woman did not say anything the moment the warriors spoke, and just collided into him.
And he was caring enough to spread apart his hands to accept her into a warm hug, but the action was suicidal in of itself.
"...???"
He felt a stifling pain within his chest the moment he held the woman into his embrace. And as he slowly looked down, and let her go, he stepped back and saw blood on his clothes.
Before he could even open his mouth, blood was already dropping out, and by the time time did open his mouth, only mouthfuls of warm blood flowed out.
"Kyaaaa!!"
"Holy sh..."
"Murder!! Murder!!"
"HELP!!"
Just that actions alone caused too much chaos within the streets, as the Epic warrior immediately died. It did not even take him minutes before his life was snuffed out.
But strangely, how could a mortal kill a warrior? One that was capable of doing supernatural feats of both strength and speed.
"What in the actual fuck?" The man, who was standing besides Xavier was shocked and could not believe his eyes. He was glad glad did not choose to help her.
At the same time, he was bothered about the situation, and how it reached such a state. Would he have done something if he was the one replacing the dead warrior?
He thought, but a reply dud not come from him. The one who responded was Xavier, who seemed to read the expression if his friend like an open book.
"You would have died. That knife... it's a demonic artifact. And that women, is a Saintess." He spoke, as one of his many skills were used at the moment.
He was able to tell the hidden cultivation of the woman, and what the artifact she held represented. Thus even if she and the man were both Saints, and had divine artifacts, the chances of him dying were more.
Demonic, Divine, Heavenly, all were still the same ranked artifacts. Just that some had demonic energy, sone had divine energy and some had holy energy within.
But were all still the same artifacts.
The woman ignored everyone and just turned to look at the duo, then at the people running towards her. She then turned back to the duo, only to seen a fireball sent straight towards her face.
"...huh?" She let out a voice for the first time, as the fireball exploded onto her head, creating something similar to a grenade exploding.
Boom!!
Luckily, there was Noone close by. The man then did not hesitate, he took out an axe and kicked off the floor towards the explosion, whilst shouting, "Xavier, leave!!"
"Roger!!" Xavier, being a Legend, knew how powerful Saints were. Thus he moved as far away as possible as he could, while his friend clashed with the woman.
Bang~
Boom!!!
And explosion occurred behind the running Xavier, as the clash between Saints ensured. And what were Saints? How powerful were these nigh-godly beings?
BOOOM!!!
