Breaking The Fourth Walls (A Douluo Dalu Fanfic) - Chapter 54
General Pov…
As the dust and debris was cleared Ma Hongjun and Oscar who had arrived observed their surrounding and saw that more than six dozens of Spirit hall soldiers across the infrastructure were looking at them.
Then as the two were about to carry on with the plan the Spirit hall member who had his back stepped on by Ma hongjun stood up while groaning and was about to say something stupid which would anger Oscar and Ma Hongjun but sadly, before he could Ma Hongjun threw a flame at his hand which quickly consumed him and turned him to ash before he could even scream out in pain.
The two soldiers who had been guarding the spirit hall members had yet to process what they had just seen when their heads were sent flying across the infrastructure as Oscar unsheathed his swords which he had carried with him for years.
The two siblings who were behind the two could not believe their eyes as they saw two masked men now killing three members of Spirit hall while knowing of their identities.
Then as Oscar turned around and looked at the siblings, the two responded by moving back as they thought the masked man was going to kill them as well.
However, all Oscar did was place his palm on the boy named Ao Ren and said, “Don’t worry we’re here to save you.”
Ao Ren eyes for some reason began tearing up as he remembered that at a very young age his own parents had been slaughtered by Spirit hall and that he and his sister as well as their people had been tortured and enslaved for years.
Even though he understood that at a very young age no one could possibly save them from a powerhouse such as Spirit hall at that time, Ao Ren lost any hope of being free.
Even the man who was said to be the patriarch of his people told them the same thing but even then he still did not shed any tears or have any hope of that happening, as the man was also captured and imprisoned just like they were.
However, the words of this Mysterious masked man reassured Ao Ren that he would save them, Ao Ren believed every word that he said as began to hope once again which resulted in him pouring out his emotions in the form of tears.
Ao Ren then watched as Oscar and Ma Hongjun fought and killed groups of Spirit hall’s soldiers and worshippers, which seemed easy enough for them as they did not show any signs of exhaustion.
Then just as the slaves who were watching saw that their saviors had arrived, two other men fell from above and released seven spirit rings behind them.
One of the spirit hall soldiers who saw these men stated, “It’s them the judge and executor of Spirit hall, now the tide will turned in our favor as they mercilessly kill these two intruders.”
Oscar who heard that decided that those two needed to be killed before they realized both him and Ma hongjuns true capabilities, which would only put in an even more shittier position if the battle went on.
One of the men tried to say something to Oscar and Ma Hongjun, when Ma hongjun suddenly sent a fireball using his second transformation that burnt the spirit saint clothes revealing him in his nȧkėd form.
At that moment everyone within the fortress were shocked to see one of the Spirit hall members who was a spirit saint to be put in such an embarrassing position.
However, he still tried to defend himself only to get blinded by Ma hongjuns flame which distracted him from seeing Oscars next move.
This allowed Oscar to disorientate the spirit saint by sweeping his feet inti the air and then piercing his throat with a small dagger that he also coated with poison.
Within two minutes both Oscar and Ma Hongjun had taken down two spirit saints one dying in the process and the other being incapacitated due to Oscar knocking him out.
Ma Hongjun who was next to the Spirit saint saw Oscar’s eyes looking at him and seemed to say, “Do what you have to do.”
Ma Hongjun looked towards Oscar and said, “Fine.”
Ma hongjun then proceeded to gather enough spirit essence from his surrounding which he then blew it towards the Spirit saint to finish him off.
As the attack landed killing the spirit saint, Oscar slowly walked towards Ma Hongjun and said, “Always remember Hongjun, that being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself.”
Seeing as how every single slave within were looking at him, Oscar decided to announce something to them as he walked towards a boulder and sat on top of it.
As he did, Oscar then asked them, “Which of you wants to be set free?”
At that moment every prisoner who heard Oscars words could not believe what masked man had just said until they saw him dropping a metal box filled with ten dozen of swords in front of them.
However, none of the prisoners moved a muscle as they remembered that the man who called himself their patriarch was captured trying to save them.
Only to end up like them but worse, as the man would be personally tortured by the titled douluo who managed this entire fortress.
Oh Oscar looked among the prisoners and saw that none of them would want to touch the weapons which he brought out from his storage space.
All until the young man, Ao ren whom he had just saved walked up to one of the weapons and held one within his roughed and callused hands.
Ao ren then unsheathed the sword within his hands and plunged it into the ground while looking back to the other prisoners and saying, “Do none of you want to be free!!”
The young mans words shocked each of the prisoners as they thought to themselves, “Wait, who would not want to be free?”
Ao ren then walked towards each of his fellow clan members and asked, “Tell me Ling clan members how long have we suffered under the cruel leadership of spirit hall?”
The Ling clan members were once again shocked to hear their previous clan name as they themselves were told by the previous patriarch that they would no longer be called that, as they would only be known as the people of the Ao clan.
However, Ao ren continued on his speech and said, “Well, this is our chance, our one chance to take back our freedom.”
As he said each word, each of the ling clan members stood in response to his spirit, “Listen, Spirit hall has taken our homes.”
The clan members responded by shouting, “Yeah.”
“Our lives.” Ao ren said while walking back to the sword which he had plunged into the ground, “But the one thing that they cannot take…”
He then pulled the sword out from the ground and shouted, “IS OUR FREEEDDDOOOMMM!!!!”
Then as if responding to Ao rens cry, each and every single member of the Ling clan shouted towards the heaven as they longed for something that they have been denied, their freedom.
Meanwhile Oscar who was still sitting on the boulder stated, “Wow! This guy must have watched Braveheart cause that was one hell of a speech.”
