Chapter 21 - Circumstances of a warrior

The god slayer inhaled deeply and doing so, he seemed to pack all the air there and twirl it into his nostrils. Exhaling it, it sent Rhett backwards who stumbled and rolled like a tumbleweed.

He walked forward and with his hands that Rhett just noticed was bulky, held him by the neck and raised him up, Rhett wriggling his feets.

"Who the heck are you, who the -".

"His name is King Rhett", interrupted Ash. "And he's king of the dragon slayers".

That did ring a bell.

"King of the dragon slayers?", the god slayer made a face. "Well, that's shocking!".

He kicked Rhett by the stomach and sent him aside. Rhett fell to the ground and held his stomach, cursing under his breath.

"Kings are known as warriors", said the god slayer. "They fight!. See, the 'King' in your name is useless. It's just a title given by Slayerious to make you suffer. I bet it's watching you, it's probably watching you through the Seer but he wants you all to suffer!".

Haicor screamed on top of her voice. "Let him be!".

The god slayer turned to Haicor, a scoff escaping from his mouth as he did so.

"And you, what the hell are you supposed to be!".

"I'm a bird slayer!".

The god slayer sent his head upwards in laughter.

"Seriously!, a bird slayer?. You guys amaze me. Don't worry, I'll slay you all and feed you to the vile pinkish beasts!".

Ash suddenly swallowed a lump of saliva he hadn't known was in his throat for so long.

Rhett calculated his chances with this god slayer inwardly. He had abilities alright, but this god slayer's own was more powerful. Blood came out of his nostrils and laying weak on the floor, he suddenly thought about his life. Since he became king, he had not rested, from the first day, he fought, now he was fighting, he had always been fighting.

Why had he gone along mindlessly when he was made king, virtually questioning nothing at all. Life on earth too was pointless and becoming king, he thought he was going to live a life of luxury.

The title 'KING', at that time, it felt special to him, he had read of kings in story books, children books and even webnovels. They were so powerful, so almighty, possessing vast strength and power, well, in his own case, it was very bad. He wasn't really a king, instead he was a warrior and up to this point, he never really knew, he never actually thought about it.

He was a warrior of the dragon slayers.

It was as if Ash was reading his mind because he instantly voiced out.

"King Rhett, you are Warrior of the dragon blood, you now have the blood of the dragon and these are just distractions on your way".

The god slayer pulled the cloak covering his head backwards and it revealed his face. He was dark in complexion, almost chocolate, a lightning mark on his left eye, he had a big nose, medium sized eyes and big lips. He made a face to show hsu shock at what Ash had said (imagine this sort of squeezed, rumpled face of shock because of a statement that belittles your presence).

"I'm an obstacle?", the god slayer asked. "Seriously, is this meeting pointless?".

Haicor shrugged. "Certainly, because you just obstructed our quest without any reason".

The god slayer looked at Rhett, who was on the floor, folded in a way, nursing his wounds.

"Warrior king!, god slayers are known to be extinct, they have all been slayed by the ancient warriors of the gods. And basically, there are no more gods. Now I'll slay other slayers!, in fact I'll slay anything!".

Rhett coughed and spat a thick mucus filled with blood.

"I don't have time for all this. I need to get back to my kingdom, build it back and avenge the death of my citizens. I must crush the ghost slayers and I will start with you!", Rhett stood up.

The god slayer's face was a smirk and with his big lips, he made it very bad to behold. Infact, the god slayer was damn ugly!. And everyone, including Rhett, Ash and Haicor, affirmed the fact.

Rhett took a step forward, picking up the sword and brandishing it in the air quite fantastically.

"Will you yield now or you want to be slayed!", Rhett said on top of his voice, his eyes gleaming with fury, the words that came out of his mouth commanding, his face damn serious.

"I will never yield!", roared the god slayer. "Let's fight then!, that's even what I wanted".

Haicor and Ash, standing far off, were genuinely shocked at Rhett's actions. He was about to take on the god slayer!.

"Let's rumble, super slayer dude!", Rhett said and forced a smile, one that was very sinister.

The god slayer thrust a hand forward, aiming to the side of Rhett's jaw but he dodged it and moving quickly, sent a kick, a swerving kick actually, to the god slayer's head. The latter staggered backwards and the former rolled the sword over his head and sent it to the side of his opponent's stomach.

The god slayer fell to the ground, holding his stomach. Rhett made to capitalize on his fall and deliver a kick or a blow but the god slayer was already shouting.

"Spare me!, spare me please, pardon my life!", the god slayer pleaded.

Honestly, Rhett was stunned with his pleas, wasn't he the almighty, wasn't he the -

Rhett didn't hesitate, a sort of mischievous smile on his face, he quickly raised up the sword and with a very swift motion, he hammered it on the side of the neck of the god slayer!.

Haicor and Ash were so stupefied they held their breaths.

But that didn't move Rhett, instead his face upwards, the sword falling off his hands, his hands in the air, he shouted:

"I have slayed a god slayer!".

Unbelievable!.
