Chapter 136: Dead silent...

The impact caused the ground to tremble and died down the noisy surrounding for an instance in which followed by confused remarks came out from their mouths.

"W-What happened?"

"I-is this for real?"

"Jura was, Jura was smashed on the floor?"

"What!?"

Bees-like murmurs of confused people find their way to Yeman's ears. But he chose to ignore them. In front of him was the pitiful Jura with a bewildered face. Yet, most of the people around them had identical thoughts. 

Why was the result opposite to what they pictured in their minds? Jura was supposed to be the one standing proudly in front of his enemy, while his enemy was supposed to be the one who was lying in pain on the floor. But it wasn't! It was a reverse situation! Everyone could not understand. 

"Arrrgh…" they heard a low groan coming from Jura, who just moved after he was smashed like nothing— on the floor.

Jura's whole body was trembling. "Wha—at... t, the f##k?" He gritted his teeth. "How, how, how was this guy able to receive my attacks?" This bugged him. But even if he asked the people around him, none of them could present his answer as none of them had a bit of idea about the situation.

It was clear from everyone's perspective that Jura had the upper hand in manifesting their magical aura. Yet, he was the one who was crawling on the floor. 

"Ugh!" He groaned once again, then tried to push his body. Thanks to his magical aura, his physical defense was a lot higher than a normal person. It made his body tougher. However, the magical aura that covered his whole body had disappeared after the smash.

Jura successfully got up on his knee. "Cough, cough!" He coughed. But it wasn't only a simple cough. He could smell the taste of blood in his mouth, even in his nose blood was gushing out. "D-Daaaamn yooouuu…" his voice wasn't a shouting one, but it was full of resentment. His bloodshot eyes tried to gaze at him. "Eh!?" But where is that guy? He scanned his surroundings, to the left and right, but he could not locate that despicable person's figure. Then a moment later, Jura felt a chill running down his spine.

Although his whole body was still aching, he forced it to roll in front of him. However, it was too late, something grabbed the back of his neck before he succeeded in rolling. Then he felt his whole body was being lifted.

He tried to struggle but. He, he, could not move?! He felt an electrifying feeling invading his body. Like he was struck by lightning! What the f##k is this!?

Bang!

"Agh!"

The next second, he felt the pain coming from behind him. He was being punched. Jura groaned.

The audiences gaped in disbelief at the spectacle in front of them. Why, why, why a member of a great noble family was being punched like a dummy? Are these the so-called geniuses with a head start in magical power compared to the commoners? Also, that person who punched him was only newly awakened. 

Paying no mind to the flabbergasted crowd, Yeman adjusted the power of his punch. He summoned soul energies; he already knew that the power would increase depending on the value of soul energy that he was applying on his punch but. The speed of punch was still the same!? It was unthinkable. 

[10 Soul Energy]

Bang!

A while ago, he punched Jura with the power of 50 soul energy on his hand. But Jura withstood it. Maybe it was because of the magical aura that enveloped his body?

Now that the magical aura that enveloped Jura's body was gone. Every punch of his, his hand felt a bone crackling noise from Jura's back. The reason Jura could not move was because of his Stun Finger ability. At the moment, he was lifting him while holding the back of his neck with his left hand. Then he used his right hand to punch him.

[20 Soul Energy]

His hand glowed brighter and more soul energy gathered on his fist. But seeing it from other's perspectives, a magical aura was gathering on his fist.

Bang!

Blood spurted from Jura's mouth. He wanted to pity him, but not this time. Or not anymore. He already learned his lessons back on earth. The more you act soft-hearted, the more they abuse it. No exemptions even your best friend.

[25 Soul Energy]

Bang!

Another punch that put a grimace on Jura's supposedly handsome face landed on his back.

So this time, in this second life of his, no mercy to his enemy. Even if they look at him like looking at the evilest villain.

[30 Soul Energy]

Bang!

"GWah!"

Regardless, his punching bag had stopped twitching. Though he wasn't using much strength on his punch. Yet, is this guy lost consciousness? As if to answer him, he heard a groan from Jura. Ah, he was still alive. Well, he only punched him with little soul energies. It would be a waste of a punching bag but. Now, let's try increasing the soul energy above 50. Wait, would it not kill him? Well, nevermind, if he dies then so be it. 

"Woah! What is that?!" One person among the crowd failed to keep his mouth shut and asked in a shout.

More energies burst out from Yeman's fist. Then he lifted his hand to punch Jura once again.

However, before his punch landed on him, he heard a loud call.

"Stop!"

"That's enough!"

Yeman's fist stopped an inch away from Jura.

He glanced around him and noticed that he was standing in the middle of the crowd. Right, it was a duel! He lost it in his mind.

Yeman sighed. He forgot. "...", Since the emperor stopped the fight, he threw the barely conscious Jura on the floor.

The body rolled one time, like a corpse. Because he was under the effect of paralysis, he could not move until the next minute.

Yeman walked calmly. He was surprised at himself. Even after punching Jura like a punching bag, he was so calm. If it was him back on earth, he probably could not sleep for doing such outrageous things. His conscience would haunt him, for sure.

Yet, in these past days, even though he took multiple lives, it seemed like it was normal for him. He was certain, he was a normal person who was against faults. But why it was different now? Even if he killed he felt no conscience. It must be the system's fault. Right, it must be. Yeman blamed the system.

When he was on earth, he was afraid that the almighty god that oversaw all of his creation would get angry at him. He was afraid of hell. Yet, his experience on earth was a total hell.

But the system changed him so much. He pointed the system as the caused of his change. 

At the corner of his eyes, he noticed his sister, Eina, together with the others. Beads of tears were forming at the corner of her eyes. Right, he was different from before.

After he retreated his soul energy, he walked towards them.

Tat, tat, tat, tat, tat,

Only his unhurried footsteps could be heard inside the grand hall. Everyone fell silent. But in their minds, they had many questions.

Dead silent...
