122 I'll Kill One Each Day Until You Surrender
On their way back, the warriors couldn’t take the vision of Arthur’s smile out of their heads. It was as if he knew everything, and was just playing with them, but that was impossible.
Only a few selected people knew about their plan, and they never saw Arthur spying on them.
“Could Akhur turn invisible? No, that shouldn’t be possible at all.”
They returned to the tribe after two hours, and when Arthur got there, he noticed how the devotees had angry faces, looking at Ahanu and some other warriors that used their power to destroy the totem.
Only Mohe knew the totem was a fake, so that all the others had a genuine face of anger when facing Ahanu.
“Akhur, my lord, you are finally here. This man is despicable. He destroys our totems!” One devotee said.
Arthur slowly flew into the tribe, and said, “Ahanu, is that true?”
“Of course it is. You can’t come here and do whatever you want!”
“Yes, return to the hole you crawled out!” The arrogant youth said. It seemed he was always there to speak shit about Arthur, and that was getting on his nerves.
“You. I noticed you are always around to spill shit about me. Aren’t you scared?” Arthur said.
“Scared? I’m not one of your clueless devotees.”
“All right.” Arthur returned his gaze to Ahanu, and said, “what will you do now?”
“Leave our tribe. All of you!” Ahanu shouted.
“Ahanu, my friend. Did you really think you’re the one in charge?”
“Huh?”
“I only let you in charge of appearance, and all you had to do to keep that position was to obey me. But now? You are not only insulting me, but all of my devotees!” Arthur said.
He flew even higher, and his voice was making everyone’s heart tremble. Arthur used his teleported, vanishing and appearing fight in front of the tribe’s totem, the one Ahanu and the others worship.
After grabbing it, he teleported back to where he was. All the tribe members saw him flying with their totem on hands.
“This is your totem, right? I allowed you to worship it because you did not mess with me. Now, things had changed.”
Arthur exerted his tremendous strength and crushed the wooden totem into pieces.
“Noooo!”
Everyone from the tribe still believed in it, and that scene made their hearts ache, and their hatred for Arthur grew.
“You are all hating me, right? A feeling inside of you that is telling only one thing: kill me.”
“Let me tell you, you can’t. You can train all of your life, and can get as many blessings as possible, but you’ll never be near my feet. Now, this is a warning to anyone that is thinking of trying something against me, or my devotees,”
“Ahanu, you see that youth that is always speaking shit about me. Him, or his family?”
They were all still in shock, but heard everything that Arthur said.
“What do you mean, Akhur?”
“If you chose him, then I’ll kill him. If you chose his family, then I’ll kill his family. If you don’t choose, I’ll kill both.”
“No, I can’t do this.”
The once arrogant youth was scared, but he still believed Arthur wouldn’t do that. His parents? They thought otherwise.
“Please, Celestial. Let my son live.”
“Dad? What are you saying?”
Arthur flew in front of the man and said, “this is what you wish?”
The man answered with an angry face, “yes, it is.” Then he pulled out a knife from behind and stabbed Arthur in the heart.
He saw all of that, and could use a magic shield if he wanted to, but Arthur didn’t. The reason? He wanted to show he was on another level than all of them.
It was just a common knife, and after all the stats Arthur got recently, it barely damaged him.
“Is that everything you got?”
“Huh?”
“Ahanu, you don’t seem to control your tribe members. So, I’ll do this. I’ll kill his family, and I’ll kill one random person every day until all of you surrender to me.”
With that, Arthur slapped the man in the face, beheading him. Then, he went to his wife, and did the same.
Now, for the arrogant youth, he let it live for the time being, to suffer a little.
After that, all of Arthur’s devotees and students returned to the area where all of their houses were. Arthur used his gigantic mana pool and cast a magical barrier on the perimeter so that no one from Ahanu’s tribe could enter.
“Remember Ahanu, one random person per day, and that’s considering I don’t get mad and kill more. So go on and talk with all of your tribe members.”
Arthur’s voice echoed through the tribe, who couldn’t believe that was happening. Mohe and all the devotees were happy after witnessing that scene. They tried to plot against them, and that was too much.
“Lord, even if they surrender, I’m sure they will have other reasons to, and will act against you when they have the chance.”
“I know, Mohe. That is why I studied a celestial power to mark all of them, so that they are bond to obey me.”
All the nights Arthur spent reading and practicing were mostly to that spell, Blood Slave. It was a spell to mark a person, and as long as the marked person was weaker than Arthur, then it would have to obey him.
Arthur did not think anyone from that tribe could even dream of reaching a similar level of power to him, so that is why he was not concerned with using the spell. And even if they somehow could, then Arthur would just kill them before that happened.
Mohe bowed and was happy to hear that Arthur had a way to deal with the tribe. Then, he left and told all the devotees that the broken totems were fake, and that made their day even better.
While they were smiling and jumping with happiness, Ahanu did not know what to do.
“We will have to surrender…”
