Volume 1 Chapter 17

Chapter 17 - Westley


I woke up, the real I has awakened.


Slept for years, before I was ready to breathe the air of this brand new world, the other me was eager to share his memories… happiness, sorrow, pride… all that's happened…


In my brain, two minds tumbled rapidly. Every piece of bone, muscle was swelling. Skins looked pale because of the internal toss. Mist of blood burst into the air.


My arms and legs mapped on the ground into various positions due to the energy impact. My eyes looked terrible, and body floated… This ain’t no good sign. I had a vague memory that Marsh told me about my excessive energy reserve. Then I had not the least idea this new body of mine was capable of bearing so much. The only thing I knew was that I need time to lead and control it…


I was suffocated and my stomach churned. I clenched a broken bar, which was broken because of the clenching. Then a large swallow of blood erupted…


“Mother fucker…” I whispered.


I could finally finish the initial soul merge. Now two of I have become one for eternity.


“Shit!” The next thing I discovered before celebrating my new birthday, was the flows of energy and streams of air that flooded in my vessel. I have no idea what it was as it felt like magic or spiritual power… or messy energies…


I was not in a favorable condition.


“My FOOT!!! MY FOOT!” A voice was crying afar, “MY FOOT IS BROKEN!”


I gave it a look and found a lovely dressed boy crying on the ground with one arm around one food, he must be Laika. At the moment, he was not at all graceful, and his mouth was wide open covered with dirty and tears.


“Loser!” Lisa rushed to protect Laika and she shouted at me, “What did you do to my cousin!”


"She's shouting at me!? Did I beat her up too?" Next, I knew why.


It was the mess caused by my awakening. Now I needed time to sort myself out before my brain could handle it… "Nope! I’ll deal with you jerks after I'm able to control myself…"


Glanced at her coldly, I sat down, legs crossed.


"Looks like this new body of mine wasn’t spend his years doing nothing." I sensed abundant knowledge in magic that I can make use of…


"OK, let me take a deep breath and press the wounds." I closed my eyes, lowered my head, and started meditating…


“What are you doing there!” Lisa shouted, “Get him!”


"Geez, I wanna kill that bitch! But I couldn’t move, though, it's a critical moment for me. Anything unexpected will kill me. I merely woke up for god sake… 14 years… I must not die again." So I forced myself to calm down.


Then I heard tiny sounds approached me. I thought to myself bitterly, "Guys, how about another time in another place? I need some time here."


But that footstep didn't stop. Looked like I was destined to not thrive here.


Then my vision was cleared with a dying wish, and I saw two young boys sneaking around. They stopped, perhaps they were startled by my miserable look.


“What are you waiting for!” Lisa urged, “Get him! He’s just a sore loser!”


“Kill…” Laika groaned, “Kill him!”


“Laika, he… he’s a nobility…”


“I DON’T CARE! KILL HIM!”


"Kill me, you want to kill me? You stole my woman, insulted me, insulted my family, hurt me, and now you want to kill me!"


Sorrow became anger, the peaceful mind was tilted all over. The power that swirled around rampaged once more.


"Is this my fate?" I thought to myself, "Ok then, you want the killing, I’ll kill! Don’t cross me…"


I straightened up, struggled forward, turned sideways, left foot forward, lowered right knee and leveled my right fist beside the waist, left hand wagged weakly.


My wrestling officer would slap me twice if he saw me here… I couldn’t help it. I have lost control over my body and gasped like a dying cow. Placing a standard wrestling position was already taking up all power I have left.


The short ugly guy made his move by flying fist towards me.


I retracted left foot and dodged it. Seeing that, he stopped on the halfway and knew he wouldn’t hit the target, then he slowed and attacked again with a closer range. I retreated once more and sensed that he already felt impatient.


"Good! This is what I want!"


My waist was by the wasted bar and I pretended to fell over… He gave a sinister look and jumped. He obviously wanted to punch my head. Though, he got too excited. Maybe to him, I was still that loser.


Then I stood up straight and avoided his punch.


Grimly I looked at him, and this moment, I leveled my right knee up quickly and took control of his falling body.


“Wooooooo.” He had to forget Lisa's order and put both hands on his crotch firmly. Like a raped man, he kneeled with both legs closed, face twisted, mumbled… He’s not gonna father a child in the future.


One down, one to go.


The tall guy was approaching. He didn’t see my movements because I was shielded by the lower boy and he had no idea how his friend went down. Still, he speeded up with one arm up high. Probably thought about punching me away!


“Are you kidding me? I'm not a still target! I'm an intelligent human being!"


I eyed the distance carefully between me and him, then dodged his attack by positioning myself behind the short guy who was lying on the ground.


The taller boy didn’t expect it. He altered direction halfway and unavoidably rushed into his friend. He could only stabilize his body by holding the short’s shoulder.


Just as I expected, he fell forward.


"Chance…" I lowered myself and placed my fist with all my power where his head about to cross.


My head hummed again and I drizzled. My ear went out of order and then I saw a squad guy with his palm covering his mouth. He jittered while a stream of blood flooded between his finger. Looked extremely painful, he cut his tongue…


"Can you not look at me like that?" I thought while glanced his unbelievable look.


The short ugly seemed to wake up and gained some strength and gazed upon me once more.


Danger!


My body was not capable of being thrown over again. Then without even think about it. I pointed two fingers and sent it forward…


“PUFF!” I retracted and avoided what’s coming next. Sudden blindness will drive him crazy. It was human's nature react. I’d rather keep him at a distance.


“Ahhhhhh!” Low groan became a high-pitched screaming, the shorter boy flowed on the floor crazily, except for his eyes, two bloody holes…


This short boy, ah, now he's a short blind, he finally found something he could grab, it was the tall guy. So he held him firmly, then closed the bite…


Impressive…


“Wow!” I certainly gave my compliment and prepared to exit the altar. "Just my luck! I didn’t cost much energy and time. I should be able to survive. Now I need a quiet place and a couple of hours… I will survive! Next step, another step, nice, then the third step." A hint of a smile was already on my face.


A sudden sting and coldness… from my waist.


My smile froze. I turned harshly and found Lisa holding a bloody dagger.


“You kill… you want to kill… me?” I was shocked, then Lisa proved herself with another stab. This time she couldn’t take it back. I grabbed that dagger and fell off from the stairs.


“Cohen!”


“No!”


I who was flipping between stairs overheard two eager voice, then my body stopped steadily.


It was Flynn and Carey! Carey looked at me in tears, she held me in her arms. Flynn’s both hands were shining white light. It’s curing spells. Far down the alter, several armored guards caught up with swords…


“You commoners! You are transpassing the saint altar! You’ll be dead!” The guard leader shouted angrily.


Flynn heard it but gave no reaction. She was focusing her heart and soul on my wounds. Carey too held me and tore like my life is more important than hers. They were a thousand times better than that bitch over there!


“FUCK OFF!!!” I gripped Carey’s hand and exhausted all my leftover strength, “THEY ARE MY WIVES, I DARE YOU!” Then, I blacked out...
