Black Quantiarch: The Progenitor's Odyssey-Chapter 184: The Greenwood Academy [24]

Black observed his immediate surroundings! His gaze interested! He was standing on a wide cracked street! To his both sides lined rows of destroyed houses!!

Some partially!! Some slightly!! Whereas some completely!! – Thus becoming shortcuts to other streets!!

He moved down the poisonous street! His strides measured!!

"A completely destroyed city!!... " His lips curled with a suppressed amusement!! "Now!! Isn't this a good spawning point!."

"Black a few streets from you!! ... There is another competitor!! ... You can go and take his badge as this peice of meat doesn't look to be anything much!! ... "

"..."

Black halted in his steps! Turned his head to the left! His gaze narrowed!! "You can see me My serpent!?" He asked with curiosity!!

He jumped now on top of the slightly destroyed two-story building!!

Moving forward He jumped over a few more buildings! Crossing a few more streets! But he couldn't find the competitor his serpent mentioned!

Moment later Black stopped on top of another building! He probed with a frown!! "Where is that individual Zephyr!? ... "

This one was the tallest one around this area! A six-story building! His gaze panned as he again surveyed his surroundings!

His white hair fluttering by the cool breeze blowing so high-up!!

Regardless his frown deepened! Even after a few minutes there was no response! But then his bright eyes widened slightly!!

He nodded not surprised!!

'As expected! The time difference!! ... If three hours outside are going to be three days in here! Then a second for her could be minutes for me!! ... '

The while waiting for his Serpent or Elf to contact him through there soul bond!!

His mood suddenly turned gloomy when Black realized that in these three days he would not be able talk with his maids!!

'Ah!! ... I should've formed a soul bond with them too while I was evolving Elly!! But things spiraled so quickly that I completely forgot!! Then the pleasure-high didn't let me remember too!! ... '

He shook his head! Gazing dejectedly at the cloudy skies above!!

The Sun was covered by the stormy dark-gray clouds or perhaps the Artifact didn't have one to began with!!

'Useless!! ... '

He closed his eyes! Arms crossed! Expression passive!!

Black took calm breaths of this runed city! Because of his gloomy mood He also wasn't in the mood to go out search or look for other participants!!

In the calmness!! ...

Black also realized that he had actually never killed a Humanoid creature before!!

In the training focused on his body that his Master gave him a few days ago there were only magical beast for him to kill!!

And in the caverns aside from the magical beast Black had indeed killed many spirits!!

However they were mindless spirits! Currepted by the magical energy of the section He was in! Therefore they couldn't be counted!!

'Now I'm allowed to kill!! ... '

His lips arched up!! 'What an amazing concept!! ... 'I am allowed' to kill!! but should I!! I don't think there is any difference between killing Elves! Humans! Spirits or Magical Beasts!! ... '

'Wlep!! ... As long as I don't like them!! I might as well see if there is actually any difference or not!! ... ' He stretched his body!!

His calm eyes focused on the individual who was cluelessly walking towards the building He was standing on!!

'How can an idiot like him even think of participating in a tournament where once life isn't in once hands!! Atleast if they're weak like him is beyond me!!'

Black took a step forward! Hands in his pockets! Letting the gravity do it's work! He plummeted down with a normal speed!!

His clothes bellowed wildly along with his hair!!

"Of course I can see you Black!! In fact do you remember that transparent glass in the room!! That whole glass had now turned into a massive screen showing what is happening insides the Artifact!! I can see not only you but many other participants too!! ... "

*Booom!!~~*

"Well!! That was uncalled for!!"

Black dusted his clothes as he saw the destruction his landing caused! His once pristine white hair were totally messy now!!

"I wonder!! How she is watching me!! ... considering the time difference!! Nevermind I'll ask her sometime later!! ... "

The dust settled! Black walked out! His right hand ruffling his messy hairs and just a few hundred meters away!!

There stood the idiot!!

It was a Wind Spirit with his pale-green eyes opened wide!! His name was!!... Black didn't care!!

Though He could've easily known it through his partial-omniscint or through the badge on the Wind Spirit's academic uniform!!

But again Black wasn't interested!!

There eyes matched!! The Wind Spirit smirked!!

Alternatively Black sighed; conforming that this Wind Spirit was without a doubt an idiot!!

Now!! – He would certainly kill him if this idiot made his already worse mood even worse!! Black calmly watched as the Wind Spirit advanced towards him with confident strides!!

'The cockiness just because we're of the same level!! ... '

Meanwhile!!...

"Hmm!! ... These are recorded clips!!~~ ... "

Elly commented watching Black moving through the rooftops after hearing about there being another participants a few streets from him!! From Zephyr!!

"Yeah!! His responses are too quick but I don't see him reacting to my replies!! ... " Zephyr agreed!!

"I just told him that he was going in the wrong direction but again there was no reaction from him!! He moved in that direction nonetheless!!~~ "

"It's the time difference!! Lady Zephyr!!~~ Lady Elly!!~~ ... " Freya confirmed there doubts!!

Her crimson stars calmly watching her master who just landed on the rooftop of the six-story building!!

"So his responses are coming faster while ours are delayed!! And what we are watching is something that has already happened!! Quite a good time ago in fact!!~~ ... "

"Indeed!!~~ ... "

"Uooo!! What happened!!... Why does master looks so dejected all of a sudden!! ... " Wix echoed in a low whisper!!

----------

"Whoever you're pretty boy!! Before I get rough with you and you loose your pathetic life needlessly!. Why don't you give that badge on your chest to Me!."

Black blinked! His gaze immediately focused on his dark-green badge!!

His cheeks blooming a shade of faint rose when he realized that somehow he didn't notice this badge up until now!!

Not even when his serpent had mentioned it!! He again looked at the Wind Spirit standing just a few 10 meters away from him!!

In contrast the Wind Spirit smirked broadly!!

"Embarrassed are we!! ... You should be more grateful to me instead of being embarrassed you pathetic weakling!! For being merciful and not outright killing you!! ... "

Black's lips twitched!!

'Just how high is this spirit in his fantastical dreams!! ... ' Black exhaled with an inward shake of his head!! 'Guess good for him! He won't be dying today!!'

"Alright! Now quietly hand me your badge and get out of here! I won't force you to surrender nor will I kill you! Therefore you'll still have a chance in the tournament! You can be thankful if you want but I don't care! ... "

"Huuuuh!!"

The Wind Spirit tilted his head! His eyes wide with disbelief!! "The fuck!!... Bitch are you retarded of something!? ... "

"Do you not understand the situation you're in! I thought I was being merciful for not killing you! But the audaciousness!! ... Nevermind now I'm really pissed!! ... "

The Wind Spirit summoned a long and thick whip created from wind itself!! "So it's better that you just die!! ... "

He lashed!! The wind howled as the whip struck!! "To satisfy me!!" The place not the person!! The place were Black was standing at!!

*Boooom!!~~*

The ground ruptured! Throwing dust and debris!!

However the Wind Spirit frowned and with but a mere flicker of his hand the whip was again coiled in his hand!! – *Swish!!~~*

"He dodged!! How!? I didn't even see him move!! ... " His eyes narrowed as he surveyed his surrounding attentively!!

Expression serious!! His muscles taut!!

'Is that pretty face actually stronger then me! A member of the S-class for the seventh ranks! No how can it be!! ... I won't accept it!!... '

His gaze turned inflamed with refusal!!

His head moving from place to place!! His figure doing a three-sixty rotation!! "Aagghh!! ... Just where are you bastard!!... "

He shouted in rage!!

"Behind you!!~~ ... " An amused whisper!!

"Huh!?" ...

The Wind Spirit's head turned!!

A dumbfounded look in his eyes matched with Black's neutral gaze! He received a strong flicker to his forehead!! –

*Booom!!~~* with a loud boom echoing in the his mind!!

The next instant it blanked! His eyes rolled back! He felt a chilling tremble run through his soul! His body fell to the ground!! –

Motionless!!

Meanwhile Black simply retrieved the badge from the unconscious spirit! Subsequently with a curious gaze He bought the two badge in his hands together!!

Afterwards Black watched in fascination as how the two badge seamlessly fused together as if devouring one another!!

Moments later He was out of that street leaving an unconscious and unmoving but alive body behind!!

Through that one flicker of his finger! Black used his Law of Dissonance to brake that wind spirit's soul's connection with his body!!

Which instantly made him paralyzed and ultimately loose his consciousness!!

Though He could've easily killed him but on a whim Black decided against it!! His lips curled repeating the words Kaal Trimist uttered!!

"The strong had the power to decide otherwise!! ... Interesting!!~~ " Amusement apparent in his eyes and in his voice!! ...
