Lunar Awakening-Chapter 42: Awakened Battle Royale.

Standing before Terrazine club entrance Leo felt a strong sense of self, every one had heard of the once prominent club at the edge of the city that caught fire on day only for it to be abandoned much later.

He looked at the time on his phone, it was almost noon so of course he had to enter. He wore a dark tracksuit and sneakers for the occasion, not having an idea what he would be doing he just chose to go with whatever fit he felt more confident in.

He walked into the club pushing the glass door open and walking over pieces of broken glass. There was barely any lighting in the hallway as he walked but he did not need it, his eyes were more suited for the darker lighting.

Since he had entered he put his senses on high alert, his hearing could pick up faint heartbeats coming from the end of the hallway. He could not tell how many they were but he knew he had to be ready, when he reached the end of the hall he found what he supposed to be a massive club room now looking to be in ruins.

Some parts of it had simply been burned or torn down, however the highlight of this was not the venue in question but the people there.

He counted seven of them, they were all male and dressed very differently then he was. They were mostly casual, with the gruff looking ones looking more wild with their fashion choices.

The two who stood out to him the most was a young man perhaps years older than him wearing an long black jacket and having the face of someone who had never known peace. There was a huge scar running across a side of his face giving the impression that someone had tried to cut out his face at one time in the past.

The second person was an older man maybe in his theories who had well trimmed beard and he wore beach shirt and shorts, his legs were hairy and rough and on his face was a pair of dark glasses.

Leo could not tell why but he suspected that the aura about these two was dangerous.

A few silence passed in utter silence before a new figure walked into the room from somewhere deeper, it was a dark skinned man dressed in black suit and tie. He looked to be more cooperate than all of the rest pit together.

He cleared his throat and spoke.

"All of you here came for the prize money but only one of you will actually qualify for the job, the boss will only hire the strongest one in this room currently." His tone was the same as the person who had responded to Leo on the phone and the words he was saying now hit everyone differently.

"This venue was chosen for a reason, if you wish to leave get the fuck out of my sight. If you wish to stay you must follow these three rules."

Leo barely suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. ’It’s always three rules with these guys."

The gruff man in a suit continued after a moments hesitation, "One, there can only be one person that will be chosen for the task. Two the use of artifacts will be disallowed, using the surroundings however is viable. Three, any injuries sustained by a second party will be individual damage and has nothing to do with me or the body I represent."

He paused for a moment before saying, "If any of you do plan on revealing what has happened here today, the body I represent can freely erase all traces of you from life. You may begin." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The room was filled with silence for a while as most of them tried to wrap their heads around the rules and the scope of what they had just stepped into.

Leo sank further into his corner and let out a low sigh, ’There are seven of us here, I don’t know what the job is but I can conserve my strength for now.’

One of the seven turned and headed for the door, "I don’t want any part of this if it’s shady."

The man wearing the bitch clothes threw a piece of a wooden pillar at the man leaving causing an explosion of force on the man’s forehead. Leo watched thean stagger and fall with blood seeping from the back of his head.

’Shit, now we’re even.’ Leo cursed in his head.

The man turned and looked at them locking his lips, "That asshole was killing the mood, now let’s fuck each other up."

’My, this guy has an attitude.’ Leo looked in every direction seeing who would move first.

The man in the suit added, "I forgot to add, there are only nine more minutes left."

’Curses!" Leo watched everywhere explode and descend into madness as everyone somehow found a dance partner.

One of the rough looking awakened charged at him with a wild look on his face, "I’ll beat you up kid."

Compared to when he had last fought with Cassandra this man seemed very slow, Leo wasted no time driving his fist into the man’s face and watching him get sent flying into a couple feet into the air. Leo could have sword that he heard the man’s skull crack.

He looked at his fist and grumbled incoherently.

Almost immediately he heard two more thuds right next to him and looked up to see the man with the scar face and the one in beach shorts.

"I knew you two were strong, why don’t we attack at the same time and end this. That boy is clearly surviving on luck." The one in beach shorts gestured towards Leo who in all entirety looked totally harmless.

The man with the scar on his face wasted no time and attacked the man in beach shorts with impressive speed, Leo sighed in relief as he was singled out from the fight.

The man with the scar threw a blow a his opponents, it connected cleanly with his jaw but the man in shorts did not even budge.

Leo’s ears twitched as the man with the scar continued to attack from multiple angles, every time his blow connected it sounded like he was throwing blows at the bark of a tree. ’What the hell if that guy made of?’

Just from the sound Leo could tell he would have dropped from the hits a long time ago, he was currently considering double teaming the older man to make the final battle much easier.

In the next few seconds regretted not taking that chance much earlier. His eyes widened in shock as he watched the man in beach shorts grab his opponent by the neck and throw him across the entire club with one arm, there was an explosion of debris from the impact.

"That was so exhilarating, I was so turned on I could die!" The man in beach shorts turned to face Leo as he licked the blood of his knuckles, "Come on boy, give in to the jizz."

Leo took a few steps forward and approached the man his eyes burning with righteous dignity. "That’s it for the safe of public safety I will have to shut you up."
