Chapter 980: Unstoppable Walk
The large bald man laughed, knocking on the cage with an amused face. "Cry about it! You can't use magic in there, it's over for you. Did you think you could trick me and get away with it?"
The fairy growled, her wings sparking a bit but her magic faded away. The cage is made from a special iron alloy that disperse and nullify magic, usually used to catch some monster birds. "I'll skin you alive once I get out!" She glared at him.
The balm man extended his hand to the woman who sat beside him, and she pulled a knife from between her breasts. Like Merlin, she had a storage magic circle tattooed there. But thanks to how well endowed she was, Arad for a second thought she was just shoving things there.
"You two, hold the cage still. I'll pluck her wings out so she won't be able to cast magic." He smiled as the two men did what he asked, holding the cage down so the fairy wouldn't shake it. He pointed his knife at her, "This is what you get for trying to scam Balon. Now cry..."
The guild master wanted to stop them. The guild indeed stays out of the hunters' business outside of signed contracts, but this seemed to be going a bit too far. He said a bet, and that isn't a thing that magic takes lightly. If two consenting adults agreed on a bet with a magical contract, the will of the goddess would see it through no matter what. That is probably how they managed to catch the fairy.
He stepped forward, but suddenly Arad walked past him, each of his steps thudding loudly on the wooden floor. Thud! Thud! Thud!
All the hunters looked back, seeing who was so heavy to make the ground wail, and it was none other than Arad approaching the hunters with the fairy. Balon's friends looked at Arad, they were sitting around his table drinking, and they could smell trouble.
One of Balon's friends extended his foot in Arad's path, "Hold it, my friend, where do you think..." Krunch! Arad stepped on his foot, dislocating the poor man's ankles. Even as a human, Arad weighed more than 200kg of pure muscles and bones, it was no different than a bull stepping on someone.
The man screamed, his cries of agony filling the whole guild as he rolled on the ground. Arad ignored him and kept walking. More of Balon's friends jumped before Arad to stop him, but they all ended up getting pushed aside, unable to stop him.
Then a woman approached Arad, pointing her wand at him. "Bastard stop or else!" She growled, but immediately noticed everyone in the guild reaching toward their weapons. The use of weapons against other hunters in the guild is absolutely forbidden, that is why no one had pulled a sword on Arad. If someone dared use his weapons, the whole guild was allowed to use lethal force against them.
She knew well that if she used a single spell, all the other hunters would jump at her. Arad is just walking, he didn't use any weapon so he's fine. Her plan was to intimidate him to attack with a weapon or with magic.
Her wand pulsed with magic, arcing like lightning, but no spell came out, that was a threat. She pointed it straight at Arad, "I'll blast your head right the fuck off!"
Arad stopped walking and lifted his hand forward, slowly, he grabbed her wand by the tip. The arcing magic jolted him, but he didn't even flinch. In the blink of an eye, he had snapped the wand in half with three fingers.
Everyone in the guild stared with gaping mouths, Arad's hand was bleeding rivers, severely charred but he didn't seem to care.
Indeed, Arad was just walking toward Balon to ask him about the fairy, he wasn't doing
anything wrong. They were the ones attacking him unreasonably.
The man growled, lunging at Arad with a second attack, he had another dagger stored behind his back. This time, he aimed for the soft neck.
The man's dagger hit the thin air, and Arad disappeared. In that instant, he realized that Arad sidestepped his attack, and was now glaring down at his ass. How could someone so big move
that fast?
Arad swung his torso, flinging a slap at the man's butt, clapping him so hard that he went rolling for three meters, screaming and crying his lungs out in panic and shock. He gasped for air, wiggling like a dying fish in agony, smacking his face repeatedly at the ground until his nose shattered, trying to knock himself out to not feel that mind-boggling pain.
Dalla's slaps are extremely effective even here.
"...Not to literally slap his ass down... The poor soul can now walk naked and have no shame nor dignity to lose." The hunter who spoke earlier giggled.
Arad was now standing face to face with Balon, the wizard woman and the second man in their group. Balon could take a closer look at Arad.
^He's massive, and those chizzled arms and harsh hands, a warlord, a general of some sort of warmonger.^ He leaned on his chair, "So, what is your name? What do you want from me?" Balon asked, he knew Arad was strong, but was still confident he could kill him.
"He'll eat you alive." The fairy said in her cage warning Balon, her glowing eyes fixed on Arad. Her danger sense was tingling, and she got a hunch Arad wasn't human, but something
greater.
"Like I'll get tricked by you again, you just want to be freed." Balon snorted her warning
away.
"Yo!" She waved her hand at Arad, "Slap king, count me out of this fight." She sat down, ready
to enjoy the chaos.
