'Yep. I am doing chuuni mode—because acting like a demented 13 year old edge lord is cool and definitely not cringe at all.' Loki thought to himself while not removing his eyes from the four enemies walking towards him.
"Our demise, you say?" Said one of the bad guys with a sadistic smile on his face, his head was shining because of the sunlight. "Oy, mister whoever you are, do you have a death wish?"
"Big Brother, it seems mister brooding man here does not know who he is talking to." Said another one of the four.
The other one jumped in and waved his sword. "We are the Bhaldees! We are known as four of the most feared individuals in this area. If I were you, I would start kneeling and begging so we may grant you a painless death."
"Kneel you said?" Loki chuckled. "That's funny... Now, let the two girls go or I'll have to do it the hard way." He said as he crossed his arms. 'Go away damn it! I am doing my best to bluff you!' Loki screamed inside his head.
Then, the four Bhaldees walked toward Loki while laughing. "We are going to enjoy this."
Loki stood properly and faced them, he didn't notice it but the moment his face turned more serious, his eyes transformed from black to sky blue. "This is your final warning... Or else you will face the wrath of the mighty monster of the ten seas." Then he raised his right hand up to the sky. 'Yup, I am so nervous that I said seas even though I am literally in the middle of the forest!' He screamed inside his head.
"I think you are being mistaken. You are not in the sea, pirate hunter—or whatever you call yourself." Screamed one of the four and jumped in first. "Let's kill this idiot, boys!"
"Let's slice him up to pieces." Screamed the other three as they jumped toward Loki.
'Yup, I am good as dead. Fuck it... I just wing it. Let's see what kind of ability I've got.' Loki said to himself. However, the fake confidence in his face remained and was boosted as his smile widened. "You are wrong about something... It doesn't matter where I am... Because my territory is where I stand." A powerful wind blew and swayed Loki's bangs revealing his glowing blue eyes further. "Now... Rise from the very depth of the abyss and devour my enemies, my loyal servant... Kraken."
Then, the ground started to shake and the sky above them was covered with black clouds. Storms sounded in every direction as the sound of an eerie roar came from the very depth of the world.
"Wha—wha—what is happening?" Said one of the Bhaldees. "The ground is shaking!"
The ground around them began to crumble and cracks crawled in every direction. Both Milfy and Rika ran away from the crumbling space while looking at Loki with their enlarged eyes.
"I warned you... Now, it is already too late to back down." Loki said while showing no emotion on his face. 'I think it works! It's fucking work—but wait, did I just say... Kraken—'
Emerging from the ground were massive tentacles that grabbed the four bad guys and raised them in the air. They could only scream as they watched the massive image of a legendary monster emerge from the ground in the same way it did in the ocean. It had a great resemblance to a red octopus, but 50 meters long, and had indestructible skin that an ordinary sword could not even dent.
"How did you manage to summon a legendary sea monster in the middle of the forest!" Screamed one of the Bhaldees as he stared at the ferocious monster beneath them.
Loki grinned. "Because I can." He put his hand down.
The Kraken opened its mouth and shoved the screaming four in its mouth. The screams stopped as the mouth of the Kraken closed. Then, the Kraken looked at Loki for a few seconds before diving back into the hole it came from. While watching the Kraken going back to where it came from, Loki crossed his arms while still maintaining the grin on his face.
'Yup, I just brutally killed four people but I am not gonna show any reaction like a perfectly functional normal person would do. Because showing any glimpse of emotion after literally killing for the first time is not badass.' He said to himself while nodding.
The cracks on the ground slowly closed and returned to their former appearance and the dark cloud in the sky vanished. Loki's glowing blue eyes returned to black. Absolute Luck was a passive ability, it was always active, Loki's blue glowing eyes were not an indication that the ability activated, the glowing effect was solely because of Loki's desire to look cool, which the skill granted.
Loki brushed his bangs up and walked towards the two women looking at him with awe on their faces. "The battle is over, you two are safe now." He said using a baritone voice—it was not his real voice.
Both Rika and Milfy jogged toward Loki. Rika stopped a meter away from him, Milfy on the other hand, went through and hugged him. "Thank you very much for saving us, my hero," Milfy said.
'Oh, a free hug from a beautiful woman... Nice. Man, her skin and body are so soft! She smells good too!' Loki thought to himself. He cleared his throat. "Don't bother about it, it was not that of a big deal. Those four were just pushovers, it was not even a fight."
"No. You are just strong, Mister, you summoned a legendary beast and commanded it! That was the very first time I had seen such a thing! How did you do that?" Rika asked with a smile on her face.
"Magic," Loki replied.
"Ah, it does make sense."
"No, it doesn't."
"You are right, it doesn't."
Milfy walked back while smiling brightly. "Anyway, we didn't introduce ourselves yet. My name is Milfy Titserina and this is Rika Ginger."
Loki smiled. He put his hand on his chest and gently bowed at them while not removing his sharp gazing eyes at them. "It's nice meeting you, my name is Loki Morningwood." He raised his head and his grin revealed a mysterious aura surrounding him that made the two stare at him with admiration in their eyes. "I am a traveler."
