Chapter 65

65 Chapter 65: Give your command

“Boss give out your command, it will be carried out immediately!” The gang members said.

But instead of replying, Matt decided to walked closer to them. That was when Matt climbed down the stairs of the spectating area and stood at a few meters away from Kevin and the others. His three men were standing beside him. While they were seated at the spectator’s seat, Matt had explained everything to them. How strong Kevin was and why he asked for Graham’s help. They understood him because all of them were not as strong as everyone thought. They were given the respect they have because of the dragon they were able to summon. But the four elves knew it wasn’t their power but the power of the ring they have on their fingers.

Ratten has recovered a bit from the injury he sustained from fighting Kevin. Matt used his healing magic to heal his wounds while Johnny and Kevin were fighting each other. He was strong as before and would love to fight Kevin again, but after hearing how strong Kevin was, Ratten decided to calm his turbulent mind down. He shouldn’t act rashly or he might get killed.

“How do we get rid of this guy, he’s a threat to us.” Ratten complained. “Did you see how strong he is, he killed Johnny with his lightning magic. What if we die by his magic like Johnny did?”

“You guys should follow me, I have a plan.” Matt said as he walked forward. The elves are all shouting to get rid of Kevin. While Kevin was still standing on the dead Johnny’s body, unmoved.

Kevin stood still as he shifted his gaze toward the body under his feet.

‘What a bad thing I did to you. But I know you deserve it. This is what the friends of yours will be facing soon.’ He said. Although this was the first person he would be killing in his life, yet he felt like it was nothing. The way people feels after killing someone, surprisingly, Kevin didn’t feel such thing. It was like this was what he was meant to do. To kill anyone, anyhow, without mercy.

But while he stared at the corpse he stood on, he learnt that Matt was now standing close to him and it seems like he has some things to say so Kevin immediately lifted his head to listen to what Matt had to say.

“Kevin, how long do you think you can keep this up. You have the guts to stand in front of me and my men because you have a lightning ability. Huh? Is it because you slapped a few guys around, you’re now feeling invisible and mighty.” Matt said and the Elves started grinning their teeth at Kevin.

.....

“Guys, it’s the moment of justice for us. We cannot let an ordinary elf like this guy, bring shame to our group, what would Graham think of you guys. He would say you all are weak and good for nothing. But we’re not letting that to happen. Because we will never allow our dignity to be lost. We will always remain strong and fearful!” Matt shouted and the whole elves echoed a war noise.

‘Heck, he really gave a good speech. The elves are more than prepared to take me down. I need to fight with everything I have.’ Kevin said.

“Destroy the enemy!”

“Let’s kill him!”

Each of the elves started shouting ad they awaited the last command from Matt.

“Guys! Unite and tear the enemy apart.” Just as Matt said this, every one of the elves started running towards Kevin to kill him.

“Go on guys! Beat the hell out of him. Make him regret the day he was born!” Matt smiled within himself.

“Now what?” Ratten asked. “We can’t just stand here and give orders to Graham’s men without doing anything to the guy who hurt us. We should have our revenge on him.”

“Ratten, I knew you would say this that’s why I’m giving you the opportunity to kill him without anyone noticing. Here.” Matt presented a knife to him and a devilish smile formed on ratten’s face.

“You always know what I wanted.” Ratten grinned.

“Yeah, that’s why I’m Matt the loverguy. I know what you love just like I know what ladies loves. Go and have your revenge and my revenge on him.”

“Sure thing Boss.” Ratten schemed across the arena as he walked silently towards Kevin. Making sure no one notice him approaching them. Once he stabs Kevin in the stomach, he’ll punch his face till he’s out of breath. That’s how he would have his revenge on him without being seen by Kevin.

Kevin was now surrounded by the men, each had started attacking from every corner. Throwing punches and kicks at him. So far, he was able to dodge them all but he knew he can’t defend them forever. He would at least get hit twice or thrice, so he resulted in attacking by using his lightning magic.

“I didn’t start this fight from the beginning, I was only helping a friend of mine. I wanted to fight Matt who was the cause of all this but since you all have gathered to kill me, I have no choice but to attack everyone. Kill you if possible. So therefore, you all should go to hell!!” Kevin roared with anger as he unleashed sparks of lightning at the men surrounding him.

They were all sent flying backwards. Those who stood closer to Kevin were the ones who suffered the most from the lightning attack. They were burnt to crisp and only their skeleton was left of them.

This is a new development. Kevin wasn’t able to burn the people he sparks to crisp. He was only able to drain the life out of them not turn them to skeleton. But seeing how he did it really surprised him greatly. That was when he received a message from the system.

********

With the rage and anger within him, Kevin activated his lightning magic. His two hands cross over his chest forming an X shape. And as he speedily brought down his hands to his side, lightning immediately surged out of his chest and those surrounding him were sparked and burned by the power of the lightning.

The only ones free from the lightning were the ones standing a bit far from Kevin, but they also sustained a few blows from the lightning powers. Fortunately for Ratten, he’s yet to get closer to Kevin. He planned to run at him when the time is right.

After Kevin came to a realization of what he did, he received a notification from the system.

“Level Two? That’s awesome, I didn’t know I could level up My magic.” Kevin said. This was a new discovery to him. Being able to level up his lightning magic also meant that he could level up his shadow magic and other powers he have.

He’s yet to take his eyes off the notification tab that another message had appeared.

“I hope it will be something nice.” Kevin said before checking the next message.

After reading what the new skill could do, Kevin had a grin on his face as he realized that the skill was really beneficial to him. He couldn’t help but thank the system for understanding him. Trying to look into his opponent’s eyes before a fight was damn stressful to Kevin. He had once wondered, how will he be able to see his opponent’s stats if his eyes has been covered or he wasn’t able to look into his eyes.

Kevin could only think that the system had saw his pain, that he’s facing a very difficult situation and had decided to award his effort with a new skill, less stressful to use.

“Wait, I need to test it out to see if it’s less stressful or not.” Kevin said but a sudden voice in his mind jolted him off.

‘Kevin, I can sense something coming. The elves are forming a spell. They are planning to use it against you.’ The A1 system said.

‘Huh, I thought you’re not talking to me again.’ Kevin replied.

‘Listen to me Kevin, this is not the time to joke around. You may die at this point. Your cells are undergoing the blockage process, so whatever attack that comes at you, either magic or spell, it will kill you because your defending cells are not active at the moment.’ The system informed Kevin.

‘What? Why didn’t you inform me earlier.’

‘I’m almost done with creating the blockage cells in your body. I thought i would be able to risk it while you fight those guys. I forgot that these elves could use spells too.’

‘Gosh, I need to find a way to defend myself from whatever is coming. I even can’t spot where the elf is.’ Kevin said, looking around the court.

‘At your back Kevin, two students are coming. One is with a spell sword while the other is with an ordinary weapon.’ Kevin turned his back to look at the elves and saw that the system was right. The two elves had a sword in their hands but both of the weapons are identical to each other. He couldn’t differentiate both weapons from each other.

‘Kevin, do not panic. You can do this. In any worst scenario, hide yourself inside the shadow void. You should be safe there before I complete the blockage process.’

‘Who said I’m afraid. I’m not someone who hides from his enemy like a coward. I’m going to fight these elves with everything I have. So just concentrate on what you’re doing and give me the results.’ Kevin said with courage and boldness. Although he’s not sure of what he’s saying. He has never fought an elf with spells before, so he didn’t know how strong they are or how long he could fair against them.

The two elves had gotten close to him and they had their swords swinging above the air.

“Hey kid, you killed all of our comrades so prepare to die the hard way.” One of the elves said.

“And why do you think I’ll die with the ordinary swords you have in your hands?” Kevin replied. He wanted to know which of the swords was made by a spell. The sword made with a spell would kill him so he wanted to know who he should focus his defense on, among the two elves.

“Ah ah, this may seem like an ordinary sword in your eyes but it has the power of killing a dragon.” The second elf replied.

“You mean only the sword in your hand.” Kevin pointed at the elf that just finish speaking.

“No, both!”

Kevin laughed but then, something had suddenly clicked in Kevin’s mind. Instead of asking questions from this brats, there’s something he could use that would give out the information he needed as soon as possible.

“Alright, lets find out myself.”

I had to merge two chapters together. Sorry for that.
