Chapter 112 - 112)Who Are You?

"Wait.....let's talk about this...." Jet Sky said, he had no other choice but to resort to cheap tricks, his health was reduced to 50% with a single strike. Night's base damage was around 3500 but that wasn't the only thing that was taken into consideration, Night's opponent was directly stabbed into the stomach and it was a deep wound as well, put that together with Jet Sky's low health because of his assassin class, it would only make sense that his health dropped so quickly.

"Not interested," Night said before turning off his skill. He didn't really need it, with the fatal wound slowing his arrogant opponent down, he could just casually walk and he would still be as fast as Jet Sky, but did Night waste time and walk to the injured individual in front of him? no, he dashed to Jet Sky and aim and cutting his opponent in half with his weapon.

It was at this moment, a clanking sound was heard, and Night's Glacial Balance that was just a few inches away from splitting Jet Sky was deflected. Sensing danger, his reflexes made him jump back, and the next second there was a huge crater in the place he was.

Night looked up and saw a green-eyed bulky man with long middle-parted hair. He held a sword in his hand but he still managed to use magic, which either meant that he was an ascender or he was an Arcane Knight, or of course, both. The real question was why was he protecting Jet Sky?

'Is he one of his lackeys? I don't remember reading anything about Jet Sky holding a lot of power....what's this then? no, but this guy doesn't exactly look like someone who would work for others....'

Once again, Night couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Who are you? do you work for him? if no, then why are you interrupting?"

The man idly gazed at Night for a few seconds, he nodded his head and answered, "Who are you to question me? who are you to kill another? you aren't allowed to do so, what makes you think you can question me? you're wondering why I stopped you, well what if I say, I did so because I felt like it,"

'What? why is it that I'm always stuck with such people.....and why does he sound like Morgan Freeman?? actually I appreciate that, it's been a long time since I've heard such a voice...hmmm'

"Urh, does it matter? and if that's the case then who are you to question me? or who are you to defend someone else?" Night replied snarkily, he thought the man in front of him would have his tongue-tied, instead, the man casually raised his hand and said,

"Who am I to ask questions? you must be foolish. Think of it like this, in a world where everyone bows down to one king, is it right for the peasant to question the king? is it right to ask the king who he is? or what his capabilities are? Insolence! and me? defend someone else? you must be blind, I merely pushed you back, why would I defend this trash?" he pointed to Jet Sky, making the latter's expression turn grim.

"And who made you king?" Night replied calmly.

"I was born one. Nobody that is alive is qualified enough to MAKE me king." the man declared.

"Oh? alright then, either you move or I make you," Night said before letting a bit of his aura loose, "and trust me, no matter what you think, I can MAKE you do anything."

"Hmph, sacrilegious! this is sedition and as the king, I'll personally make sure you're slaughtered," the man said while rotating his sword and taking a stance, a fireball formed in his other hand.

Night was a little hesitant, not because he was afraid but he didn't consider the man in front of him worthy of his powers. If Shade were here then by now he would be holding the man's head or maybe Noctis would've disintegrated everything around them. His hesitation however didn't last very long when he saw the smug look on Jet Sky's face. Night allowed his Umbrakinesis to flow a little more, he didn't want to reveal his primary class yet so he still only used Glacial Balance.

'Isn't that the guy from that time? that is him! I knew I recognized him somewhere, it's the dude from when Sephiroth attacked me....looks like his sister? or someone isn't with him....does he know Luke? why didn't he jump in to defend me then? was it because he thought I was Night?' Nate guessed as he looked at his friend face off against a familiar face.

"This is certainly an interesting development isn't it Reed? oh and good job with the anchoring, you looked like a total pro out there!" Kenny said as he gave the man a thumbs up.

"Haah, it's super exhausting but you're right sir, this is definitely an interesting development, Night vs Zane, it's only natural Zane feels that entitled...."

"Richardson family head right? haha, on one side we have Night, who has the power to take what he wants but doesn't do so and on the other side, we have Zane, who believes being king is his birthright.....let's see what happens....this should be fun," Kenny said while laughing.
