Chapter 76 - 76)Frode

"Woah...it worked? but it disappeared...why?....wait unless? no way!!" Night's face suddenly lit up but he was still nervous, he was hoping it was what he thought it was and not just a mistake or a fluke, the crowd, on the other hand, were dead silent, they assumed Night did what he did on purpose, even Shade had a confused expression on his face.

Meanwhile, Reed and Kenny were once again munching snacks while they were closely watching Night's every move,

"Sir....what was that?"

"Shutup Reed, what'd I tell you about asking me questions,"

"Sorry sir"

Not even for a second did the two of them look away from the screen, Night's development and playstyle was just too entertaining, it was always something or the other with him, of course, whether it was good or bad for Night didn't matter as it was entertainment for them, it may seem cruel but that's how the world worked, however, both Kenny and Reed did feel closer to Night than the other players, naturally considering the two of them watched Night since the beginning.

"Reed"

"Yes, sir?"

"What was that just now?"

"I'm not sure sir, what do you think?"

"What'd I tell you about such questions, Reed,"

They weren't aware of their weird conversation, in fact, they were so focused they couldn't notice the food they spilled from time to time.

Without wasting another second, Night pulled the string and launched another arrow, just like last time, the arrow disappeared once it got 5m away from him, and a second later a hole could be seen in the next dummy's forehead.

'This... it's definitely vanishing once it gets away from me but it still connects...and only when it connects does it show itself... but why? was it a property of 'pure darkness'? this is definitely interesting...I shou-'

"Odin's Grace!! That was too much!!"

"Tell us your name!!"

"Let's celebrate!!"

"Haha, I'll drink to that!!"

"Again again...do it again!"

"That was unbelievable!!"

"To think someone has that much control"

"Show us more!!"

"Yeah! Show us something interesting!!"

It was far more chaotic this time, people were actually pushing each other to see Night, but before anyone could get hurt, he raised his hand up, naturally, everyone there understood what he meant. Who was Night? no to be more specific, who was Luke? he was known as the unluckiest man alive but he was considered a combat sports prodigy, of course, the most important part of combat sports was the 'fight' but once again, at the foundation even combat sports were just a means of entertainment and Luke understood this very well, he was an entertainer at the bottom of his heart and when the crowd asks, he delivers.

Once the noise stopped, Night spoke up, "very well but I have a condition,", he had a sinister smile on his face, even Shade had no idea what His Lord was trying, in fact, he was just as surprised when he saw the arrow.

"Well, what is it??"

"As long as I don't die,"

"Sure, Oleg and I are interested,"

"Of course, just try not to harm us"

"If its booze y'want then sure"

"Woah, calm down, I guess I ca-"

"Who the heck is this guy? I was interested because there was such a large crowd but it was just a traveler?? and a puny one at that, hah." A new voice thundered, a man just as tall as Gerard was now stepping into the training area, it seemed as if people recognized who he was, the second his face was visible, many eyes widened.

"Oy isn't that Frode??"

"Keep your voice down Oleg! you have a death wish?"

"That's Frode, he's the son of the Einherjar!"

"What which one??"

"The 20th but does it matter which one???"

The Norse Kingdom was huge, unlike the Imperials they didn't govern over other regions, the Kingdom was divided into many city like regions and each city had a ruler. The Rulers were just as strong as some of the Einherjar, though they couldn't beat the single digits, however, the Einherjar weren't allowed to rule over any region, they were, however, given power and freedom to act as they see fit, which naturally got to some of their heads.

'Frode huh? interesting... oh? he's only level 150? well this should be fun'

"Perfect!" Night shouted.

"How bout this, since you guys wanted entertainment, I'll fight him, I'll fight Frode and to make it harder on me, I'll do so blindfolded,"

"You!!" Frode's face immediately turned red from embarrassment, the crowd, however, were like hungry animals, especially when it came to fighting, they completely forgot about the fact that Frode was the son of someone important, instead, they began to cheer, and some even cursed at Frode for not saying anything.

Frode's eyes were now red with rage, his veins looked like they'd blast any second,

"Forget about defeating me, as long as you manage to get me on the ground, I'll do anything you want, as long as within my power, however, if you were to fail, then I get your head," Frode said with a smile as he licked his lips as if he was about to feast.
