Chapter 37 - 37: Wrong bet.

...

"Eh...?"

Turning around the noble saw a black haired kid of about ten years old slowly walking out of the woods straight toward them.

When the knights saw him they shouted out. "Halt, you do not have the permission to get in this place."

But as if he didn't heard him, the kid continued to walk in their direction or more precisely at their master's direction.

Seeing this damn kid interrupting his first time, the young noble's anger shoot up quickly as he order with a twitching face.

"Kill him..."

"Wha...what... ?!" Even the knights couldn't believe what he said.

"I said kill this kid right now... !!!" He ordered in a fit of anger making the two knights make their moves as they let go of the two other girls.

"Stop right there kid, apologize right now, it's for the best kid..."

Edam who was already about five meters from the knights, unexpectedly began to crouch down slowly.

"Phew... he's not so stupide after all..." They thoughts in relief.

The two knights thought that he was going to get on his knees to beg for his life but...

"Crack...!"

But just as they were having their hope held up, they saw the boy disappear with a "swich" sound in the blink of an eye as he reappeared in mid air, right in front of them while he grabbed their two heads in his two hands and...

"BAMM...!!!"

Well no need to say that they were gone to sleep right away after this shocking clash.

Not bothering anymore with them, he just continued straight to where the shocked world noble was in a calm demeanor as if he didn't do anything or that it wasn't worth mentioning.

"Y-...You...how dare you... defy me !?" he stood up while pointing at Edam with a finger.

But as if he couldn't bothered himself to reply Edam just kept quiet and continue to walk.

Seeing this mere commoners kid not even deigning reply to his question, the young noble took out a very flashy golden gun and point to Edam's head.

The three girls yelled " Be care-..." however it was too late.

"Die !" He yelled as he pulled out the trigger as a "click" sound rang out in the deep silence that took place all of a sudden.

"BANG...!"

The gun shot and the bullet shatered the air as it tore through space to reach and ripped apart its target in a cruel manners.

"Gehehehe... how dare he interruped my business this will taught him how to behave in his next...next...nex-... Eh...?" He laughed and laughed and laughed again and again until he finally took another glance in front of him.

His eyes were gradually opening wide and large, nearly popping out.

"What ?!" In front of him, Edam was still walking slowly without the hole that should have been seen on him as if no one had shoot him with a gun to begin with.

His pale yellow eyes were shining continuously showing how much he was focused or just how much this scene was pissing him off.

"Grrr...Ahhh..." Growling in anger the noble lift again his gun and started to shoot once again in fury.

"BANG, BANG, BANG...!!!" Three bullets were shoot.

However, to the noble's dismay and the girls's surprises, not a single one of those shots landed on him or put just a scratch on him even once.

Well one thing to admit was that this noble really did knew how to shoot, as every shots were precisely aimed at Edam's head.

"Argh....die, die, die... !!!" He emptied his clip on the kid to no avail.

Edam's head would dodge from just a few centimeters everytime, much to the noble's anger as if he was doing it on purpose.

Two yellow trails were shining and moving about as it follow the eyes of his dodging head continuously.

...

At the end of the day his gun was just a normal one and wasn't supplied with infinite bullet so what should have happened actually happen.

"Click, click, Click..."

"Damn it, damn gun...!" He said as he threw out the gun and lifted his head in fear.

"Don't-... don't-...you dare come near...me..." Seeing Edam's two threatening pale yellow eyes closing in he was so frightened that he fell straight on his buŧŧ.

"Don't, I'm a God, I-..." fear spread across his face.

But Edam couldn't careless as he was finally right in front of him.

He slowly extend out his hand giving the noble the fright of his life.

Two threatening pale yellow eyes that held nothing but disdain toward him entered his view as the kid just said in a cold voice.

"The keys..." He said codly with his hand held out.

"huh...?" The dumb noble didn't get the gist of this simple sentence.

"Hand me the keys..." His tone still as cold as before.

However as if he didn't have enough fright the noble did something that he shouldn't have done.

He tried to take what seemed to be a whistle and tried to blew it.

However, just as he was about to blew in, Edam react in the blink of an eye.

He took one step forward shortening the distance between them even more and then stroke the palm of his right hand violently forward, breaking the guy's hand as well as the two range of teeths at the front making him swallow violently his teeth as well as the whistle.

"Gyahhghghg..." He cried in pain and grieviance on the ground like a living fish waiting on the chop, as he was choking on his teeth literraly.

Seeing him like that, Edam just released a deep and dark " Humph..." and then gave a low kick on belly making him spurt out everything that he had violently swallowed.

"Buargh..." he threw out everything.

"Now hand me the keys..." Edam repeated in a calm and cold voice for the third time already.

This noble idiot seemingly having enough to endure so much took out the keys and hand it over.

Having the keys in hand Edam turn around to face the black haired girl.

" Yough...yough so deagh, jugh jugh yough waigh."(You...you're so dead, just you wait.) With his mouth injured so much he couldn't speak properly but still want to spurt out some bullshit.

When the guy saw that Edam couldn't care less about his threat or maybe didn't understand what he was saying, he took the confidence.

"Yough damgh trasgh, damgh monkegh !" (You damn trash, damn monkey!) Seeing Edam not caring a bit he insulted him with even more fervor than before.

"Igh wigh makegh yough entirelygh familigh disappeagh..." (I will make your entirely family disappear...) He said that while backing off a bit.

However at this last sentence Edam whose back was facing him and advancing toward the girl stopped at once.

"What...?" His voice was still as cold as before but now something different sounded out.

Till now the surrounding area and everything that was around, was tense and seemed capable to explose again at any time but when the guy said that and when Edam stopped at once, a deep and freezing feeling spread across the area sending shivers down everyone spines.

"What did you say again...?" Edam turned around abruptly showing his two pale yellow eyes turning bloody red as he took quick step forward arriving in front of him and then kicked the guy left leg making him fall down to one knee with a "Crack..." sound as the bones of his legs shattered like nothing.

"Arghhh..." He had never ever cried as much on a year time than on this single day.

"Nogh let megh gogh argh, letgh megh gogh..." (No let me go, argh, let me go...)

Edam dragged him right at the limit of the border as they were really closed to it, to begin with.

"What, did, you, say..." Edam asked coldly as his eyes shone even more bloodily red while holding him by the neck as he pressed so tightly that the guy's neck seemed to make a little cracking sound.

"I, I shaigh, ugh..." Just as he was to say 'I said nothing',a sort of crazy light seemed to shone in his eyes as he then yelled like a pig...

"I, I, I, I'willgh exterminaghe everygh onegh of yough damgn trasgh !!!" (I will exterminate every one of you damn trash !!!) Maybe he believed that Edam wouldn't kill him because he was world noble or maybe he thought that Edam wouldn't kill him because he was kid or maybe it was an entirely different reason but anyway...

All we can say is that he didn't bet on the good choice this time around.

"Oh...is that so..." Edam said in a calm voice with his eyes closed.

"You said that you were a God right ?" With his eyes still closed, he said in a freezing calm voice.

Hearing this the World noble's eyes seemed to lit up as a spark of hope was seen coming across it... only to be plunged in a freezing despair in the next moment by Edam sentence...

"Then I hope you know how to fly..." Opening his bloody eyes again, he grabbed hold of his neck so hard that a loud cracking sound was heard as he threw with all his might the celestial dragon making it fly for an instant before it plummeted rapidly toward the sea.

...

The poor guy didn't even lived long enough to have his first time that he already died. Truly pitiful to say the least.

And it would maybe be the only time in history that a celestial dragons could and would ever be seen flying in the clouds high up in the air before visiting the depth of the seas and maybe even reaching the famous Fish-Man Island... who know...
