Wishing For A Boring Life - Chapter 8 Please Dont Help Me
With the shocking words Ren said, the old man was indeed surprised, but he calmed himself and then stared at Ren with a doubtful gaze.
It was not that strange though, the one that they were searching was an old man that have lived for a million years.
Seeing this young looking man in front of him is just not so believable now isn’t it?!
But the young man strength is something else, he just used all of his power into that strike, but not even his skin and hair is cut.
Even though he just used his pure physical power and not his magic, it was not something that could be ignored like that.
His pride just got a hit, he was shocked that he almost went mad! Although he was surprised, he didn’t let it show much on his face.
After he calmed his chaotic emotion, he looked at Ren with a cold and devoid of expression again.
[Young man, lying is not good! You better consider it again or I will have to kill you for real now!] Said the old man with a threatening tone.
[. Old man you are really annoying! If you want to fight then let’s fight! No need to show off like that! You are weak, I don’t need to see how a weakling showing off!]
Seeing the old man cold face, Ren was really annoyed and wanted to bash the old man into a meat paste. But he hold himself back as long as he can, he need to find out first why they were looking for him.
He know that he was someone from outside world, but he never have anyone coming over to save him for the past 18 years now.
So for them to search for him now is just not so real, right?! How did they know his name? And beside is his name really Ren?!
When he was thinking about how they know his name, the old man then opened his mouth again.
[I see Just because you have a good body constitution you thought I was weak huh. You overestimated yourself young man.] Exclaimed the Old man.
[He Hehehe Yaaahh I think my hold back really well today. Hmm good job for me! Oh right, old man and that woman over there, why are you looking for me?! And let me tell you again, I’m still 25 years old I’ll be 26 next month though, if I’m not wrong.]
If one were to look carefully, there is a vein popped up on his forehead. But his dazzling smiling face is just too bright it hide the vein on his forehead.
His voice calm and sounded playful as he asked the old man and Lethia.
[Indeed from my perspective you’re still a kid. I have lived for 500 years now, and this is the first time I encountered an arrogant kid like you, an unknown one at that.]
Hearing the old man words the veins on Ren forehead just increased and his smiling face now looked forced. He then opened his mouth with a twitching eyes.
[.. Alright. Old man, say your name And say your prayer] Ren said with a low tone, while his last words were said in a whisper.
The only thing that the old man could hear was Ren asking about his name and not the word after it.
Ren controlled the space around his mouth so that the old man could not hear it.
[Hmm you just asked my name after all this time? Indeed, kids this days is just really rude and ignorant sigh]
The old man said with a frown while his eyes looked at Ren with a displeasure.
‘ This old fossil really seeking death! The crazy old man told me that, if I encountered this kind of bastard, I can’t kill him/her too fast! I need to pretend to be equal or weaker than the bastard.’ Ren exclaimed inside his mind.
[Hm Hmmm I-I’m sorry then old man so may I have your name?]
[Seeing that you managed to block my two strike, you must have some capabilities. Farewell, I will let you know my name. I am Dorus]
[Huh? Excuse me old man, can you repeat it again?]
After the old man say his name in an arrogant manner as if he was some kind of a high being that look down on people.
Ren then grabbed the sword on his head and then pushed it away. He then tilted his head and asked the old man to say his name again with a ‘I’m sorry expression’.
[. My name is Dorus.] Said Dorus with a cold tone.
[Huh? I’m sorry old man, I can’t seems to remember your name, and please don’t help me.] Ren said with a sneer and put a mocking expression on his handsome face.
Old man Dorus expression now looks as red as blood. The air around him started to tremble as the mana became chaotic.
Seeing that the mana is now becoming chaotic, Lethia snow white complexion turned pale with fright. She then give Ren a side glance before moving back a few meter away from them.
Without any warning, Dorus moved in front of Ren and then slashed his sword toward his chest. It unlike his previous strike where his sword looked ordinary.
But now his sword was covered by a blood red glow that looked really eerie and menacing.
Feeling a bit rude if he act like he always did. Ren then avoided it by moving his left foot behind and then moved his body to the back.
From Lethia’s point of view, he was moving slowly as if he just taking a few step back. In fact, they were moving so fast that it look slow to her.
After avoiding the slash, Ren then ran to the right and then snapped his right hand fingers. Then, a dozen small black sphere at the size of a bean spread toward Dorus that was right behind him.
Dorus expression were gloomy after seeing the small black sphere, so he jumped to the sky and then chanted a spell.
[Lan Zas Olpas Ra!]
When Dorus finished his chant, it was as though there is an invisible wings on his back, he floated in the air while looking down toward the bean sized black spehere.
When the black sphere touched the place where Dorus is a while ago. The ground then caved, as if there was an explosion around it. But the strange thing is that, there is no sound of an explosion.
Let alone a sound, it was so silent that it become frightening!
As for Ren, he was bewildered after he heard Dorus chanting a spell. It was another new thing for him, he was never taught about this by the crazy old man.
For the past 18 years, he only controlled the mana by his own will. He never used word spell like this to control the mana.
So seeing that someone used a chant to shape the mana, Ren paused for a second while staring at Dorus in a daze.
Although Dorus was dumbfounded after seeing the strange magic, he didn’t let the dazed looking Ren go from his sight. So, seeing the opportunity, he then waved his left hand and send five mana arrow flying toward Ren.
Feeling the disturbance in the mana around him, Ren then clicked his tongue.
[Tch]
Ren looked toward the mana arrow that was moving toward him with contemp.
‘What kind of bullshit is this?! This. This old man is too weak!!’ Screamed Ren in his mind.
He wanted to end this farce but, remembering the crazy old man’s teaching made him fell into a daze and forgot about the mana arrow that was heading toward him.
Boomm!
With a booming sound, the mana arrow hit Ren and the earth around him. Ren’s figure was hidden by the dust that was created by the explosion. It was unknown whether he was alive or not.
