473 Isac's Weird Request
I knew that dealing with that thick headed jerk would give me a headache!
“Dude, either take it or jump off and scram off my sight,” I didn’t show any tolerance with him.
Indeed I felt sympathy towards him and what he was experiencing, but that didn’t mean I’d accept such madness. His
His past actions with his forces were still fresh. He led many young boys and innocent humans to their deaths just because he lost focus.
I wouldn’t let him do such a thing ever again.
“Then I’ll leave…” he moved, went to the side of the chariot and grabbed the rope. He even leant over the edge and faked his intention to jump.
“Are you going to let him go away like this?” Isac from the side asked. That girl was acting tough from the outside, but she still had a kind heart inside her chest.
“Just wait…” I grinned evilly, “he won’t dare to do it!”
She just met this jerk today, but I was with him long enough to read through his actions. He was trying to fake his intention to jump to force me to accept his demand.
Childish… Pretty much childish in my eyes. So I stood silent, crossed my arms, and watched this amusing show till its end.
“Damn you, Hye!” he roared after a long minute of pause. Once he leant over the edge, he stopped as if he didn’t imagine me standing idle and doing nothing in response to his show.
“Come here,” like a naughty boy, I motioned to him to come closer and leave the rope. And like an obedient kid he moved while lowering his head.
“You don’t need me to say it, but I care for you,” I said such kind words before turning my face up again to show my fierce side, “however… that doesn’t mean I’ll pamper you like you are my chick!”
“You…” my words held a much deeper meaning that they showed on the surface.
“I won’t let you suffer, or make others suffer because of your actions. So it’s best for you to listen to an old friend’s advice… Go down there, explode as much as you want, but don’t get out of my sight for even one second.”
“Why don’t you chase after me then?”
“Do you think I’m this carefree to babysit you? Humph! If you were my chick, you’d have gotten a beating by now.”
“…”
His eyes glared and even shook when I kept reminding him of his secret. He kept looking at me for a long five minutes, none of us even said a single word during which. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“Fine,” like he was forced to give up an arm or something, he said in such an angry and impatient tone, “let me down and give me an army. But let me loose over strong opponents. Don’t interfere, do you get it?”
“Granted,” the last words of his were said in such a fierce way that showed how high his fighting spirit was.
Under such a fair request, I had no reason to reject.
“Can I…” Isac weirdly said, attracting both of our eyes’ glaring gazes, “stand here and watch?” under the pressure of both of us, this girl didn’t have the courage to ask to go down there.
Of course we were now fighting Dragons. But soon enough we met up with Selvators. I wouldn’t let her down there to face her own race. That would be too much to ask for.
“I just… Have a request…” Just as the two of us watched the jumper go down there and lead the army of monsters towards a nearby town, Isac asked in such a hesitant way.
“You want to fight your own people?” I asked without even sparing her a single glance.
“Of course not,” he shook his head fiercely while adding, “I just want… to have the last kill of certain people there.”
This time I turned fully to watch him. “What for?” I knew what she wanted to do here. She wanted to kill the paragons of her kin. If she was still a paragon, I’d understand this.
But what was for her to do that?
“That’s…” she seemed hesitant. In fact when she was pressured, she would act more like a girl than a boy.
I didn’t know who tricked her to believe her act was so solid to be a man. Just staying with her for a few minutes, a blind could tell she was a girl not a boy!
“Tell or you won’t get,” I was already busy watching that jerk’s moves down there using my hawkeye skill. He directly led his monsters to clash fiercely without any tactics against their foes.
Monsters or defending forces… Anyone who stood in his way was killed in such brutality. In my eyes, he wasn’t leading an army into a big battle, he was just doing dog fights to his heart’s content.
But I had no saying in this. He had experienced so much and he got the chance to vent properly over such worthy to get killed foes.
“I… Will get a chance to become my race’s paragon…” and at this moment, Isac gave me such shocking news.
“Is that true?” I turned to her, and couldn’t move my eyes away from her chopped arm.
She glanced at it before sighing. “It’s the system decision at the end that will make one a paragon or a failure,” she slowly explained, “if I manage to slay more paragons, I’ll get the recognition of the system.”
“Even if…” I didn’t continue while my eyes moved again towards her copped arm wound.
It wasn’t healed yet, so she wouldn’t possibly have forgotten about that.
“The system has its own ways in the apocalypse,” she sighed, “you… only as a human you won’t get it now.”
“All I saw is unfairness from the system,” I was honestly and fairly speaking here, “in my eyes, the system is unjust towards my race from the start.”
