"…ugh… I can't believe all five of them are here…"
"What did you expect? Graner made a mockery out of their Clan, of course, all of them will be here."
"Shh!! Are you crazy!? If you want to die that badly, why are you dragging us along with you? Why the hell are you talking about that incident right now? What if they hear you, huh!?"
"I-I apologize."
"Don't talk about that at all… rather… just stay silent, don't talk about anything… they are smiling while having a drink, but I can sense their annoyance even through smiles."
"I… I get it… I'll stay silent."
The Ancestral Hall building, which was usually cheerful, had a tense and heavy atmosphere today.
That was because 5 Great Sages were sitting at a table, drinking beer, with dangerous smiles on their faces.
These 5…
Everyone knew who they were.
They were the strongest members of the Destiny, the Clan whose reputation has taken a deep dive.
"Tsk, why are they not here yet?"
Vindan, the Leader of the Clan questioned.
"Don't ask me, they said they will be here by now," Miliana replied.
"And you believed them?" Vindan raised his eyebrow.
"And what was I supposed to do? Drag them here and then get killed by the Order?"
Miliana retorted.
"You…"
"Alright, Lord Vindan, Miliana, you two need to calm down,
It was obvious that they aren't going to come here.
It was foolish of us to believe them in the first place,
Let's just leave and continue with our pla-"
Suddenly, Xavien froze.
"What happened?" Miliana questioned.
"ExceedoGenesis…"
Xavien muttered as he glanced at the door.
The others turned around and their eyes fell on 13 people who had just walked into the building.
"T-They are actually here…"
"A-Are they crazy…?"
"N-No… isn't it better this way…?"
"Yes, it is a lot better than hiding, they should just apologize here and end this matter."
"It won't be that simple."
"Yes, I heard something happened yesterday as well."
The crowd started whispering as well.
Seeing some familiar faces, Miliana's face brightened up. Her eyes quickly fell on the man who walked in the front, the Leader of the ExceedoGenesis Clan and her target, and soon, a big smile appeared on her face.
"So you are the Leader of the ExceedoGenesis Clan."
She spoke as she walked towards Nux with a playful smile on her face.
"You are not bad…
The most handsome man in the city huh…
You will be fun to play around with."
She commented.
Nux, however, completely ignored her and walked toward Vindan.
"Are you the Leader of Destiny?"
He questioned.
Miliana, on the other hand, couldn't believe what happened.
She… she was ignored!
Her eyes then fell on the sword girl, who just chuckled, Miliana realized that she was laughing at her and her anger soared even further.
She turned around and walked towards Nux,
"I was talking to you, Bastard."
"Don't bother me, I am talking."
Nux's reply was simple.
His simple reply, however, triggered Miliana even further.
"Do you really want to die that badly!?"
She threatened.
Of course, Nux didn't care, he just looked at Vindan again and questioned,
"Are you the Leader of Destiny?"
This time, Vindan ignore Nux and turned toward Miliana,
"Calm down, Miliana, he is doing this on purpose.
Don't fall these foolish tactics."
"Heh. This bastard, he really is interesting, isn't he? I changed my plan, no matter how handsome he is, I won't dirty myself by playing with this bastard.
But leader, his wife, I am sorry, but I will be taking her from you.
I want to see if this bastard can keep the same attitude while I torture his wi-"
"I will ask one last time,
Are you the Leader of Destiny?
No, actually, it doesn't matter now.
This will be my warning to all 5 of you.
I will be challenging Destiny,
We are a new Clan, however, I will warn you beforehand, this battle,
It will be the end for Destiny.
If you do not wish to have the same fate, leave Destiny and join any other clan."
Nux announced, then, he turned towards Miliana and,
"You, however, do not have that option.
Don't bother running away,
We will chase you to the ends of Yrniel if we have to."
Saying those words, Nux walked towards the Counter where a familiar elf was sitting,
"The ExceedoGenesis wishes to challenge Destiny."
Nux spoke, shocking everyone present inside the building.
"What!?"
"Is he crazy!?"
"Challenging the Destiny! And since they are the ones challenging, they can't even decide the rules this time.
Just what is he thinking!?"
The people couldn't believe their ears.
"Hahaha~" Vindan, however, laughed out loud when he heard Nux's words.
"You are brave, boy. I will give you that.
To actually come here and challenge us,
Was our threat that scary?
Well, I guess Miliana can be a scary person."
"I have barely shown anything scary yet," Miliana spoke as she glanced at Nux with a smile on her face.
A smile that couldn't hide her scary expression,
"I'll show truly scary I am.
Leader, I propose that he and I have a one-on-one duel, I want to show him what true hell looks like."
"Oh C'mon, where is the fun in that?"
Vindan, however, just smiled.
"I propose something even better.
ExceedoGenesis and Destiny,
A Clan Deathmatch."
"A… A Clan Deathmatch…?"
"The one where all the members join in and the battle only ends once all the members of a Clan are killed?"
"Well, there is another way where one clan surrenders and the opponents accept the surrender, but it rarely happens.
The Clan Deathmatch is used to settle in the most fiercest enmities, so the other party never accepts the surrender and wipes the entire clan."
"But… isn't the ExceedoGenesis a new clan? They only have 13 members… while the Destiny has around 500…
This is absolutely unfair."
"Since the Weaker Clan has challenged the Stronger Clan, the Rules will be decided by the two parties together.
There is no way the ExceedoGenesis will accept this rule."
"Of course, only a mindless fool will accept something like this."
"I do not accept these rules."
And just like everyone Nux shook his head the moment he heard Vindan's proposal.
