Chapter 1541: Ancient Glorious City(12)
Aakesh felt a sense of danger immediately after stepping inside the building. He immediately moved to his left, and not long after, an arrow flew past where he was a moment earlier.
His eyes turned cold, and he looked in the direction of the source of the attack. His coldness turned into a surprise.
"Who are you?" The man called out, ready to shoot again at the intruder.
Aakesh understood the language since he had learned it during his quest and also recognized the race of the man before him.
The man belonged to the Neuisly race, a race that had long been extinct in the Multiverse. That was the reason for Aakesh's surprise since he didn't expect to see extinct races inside the city.
Whoosh!
Seeing no response from the intruder to his question, the man shot another arrow.
Aakesh could sense the danger from the arrow, so he moved away and rushed at the man. Before the man could shoot another shot, Aakesh reached him.
He grabbed the man's throat and was about to crush it when a sense of death enveloped him.
"Leave him if you don't want to die." A voice filled with coldness rang in his ears.
Aakesh looked behind him and saw an army of Neuislys surrounding him. He still ignored them and looked at the man.
The man had a cold expression as if his death didn't matter. Aakesh then threw the man.
He had the system's protection but didn't want to waste it on the current situation. But since the man had attacked him, Aakesh couldn't let the man scot-free.
He not only grabbed the bow from the man's hands but also ripped his hand right from the shoulder socket. With a trail of blood, the man fell to the ground.
Clang!
He suddenly brought the bow to his neck, and it clashed with the knife. He turned around, grabbed the woman's hands, and took the knife away from her.
The woman's expression changed when she was directly stared at by Aakesh. She felt as if she were looking at a monster who wouldn't even blink an eye while eating her alive.
Aakesh punched the woman in the stomach. He didn't use his full power since he didn't want to kill his opponent.
The woman coughed up a mug of blood and fell unconscious. He then threw her near the man.
His eyes remained indifferent as he looked around and saw an endless number of Neuisly race men and women staring at him with cold eyes, ready to tear him apart.
The Neuisly race was a race of warriors, so they didn't fear battle. But at the same time, brute strength also impressed them.
Clap! Clap!
A clapping sound suddenly rang in the area. Aakesh looked above since that was the source of the sound and saw a woman floating in the sky.
She then descended to the ground, only a few inches away from Aakesh.
Aakesh's eyes turned solemn since the woman was a Lesser God. If she attacked him, he would have to take the help of the system, but the attack never came.
"Do you want to arm wrestle?" The woman suddenly asked.
Aakesh calmly nodded since he understood the purpose behind the woman's question. If he successfully showed his strength, the Neuisly tribe would stop treating him as an enemy unless he attacked them.
The woman nodded and then extended her right hand, ready to wrestle. There would be no support for the elbow.
Aakesh extended his right hand and grabbed the woman's hand, ready to wrestle.
Whistle!
The whistle sounded, announcing the start of the battle.
Aakesh decided to explode with all his strength at the opportune moment to take the woman by surprise, so he simply tried to keep his hand from lowering.
The woman had no such intention. She simply wanted to break Aakesh's hands and then kill him for harming two members of her race.
A surprised expression appeared on her face as she failed to push the intruder's hand despite using 10 percent of her strength. She increased it to 20%, but nothing changed.
Soon, the number had grown to forty percent, and Aakesh's hands finally budged.
Aakesh's veins popped out as he tried to push above, but the woman had increased her strength to fifty percent, so he kept going down.
If his hand formed a straight line with his elbow, that would mean he lost the arm wrestling, and when he was only a few cm away from that, he exploded with all his strength, taking the woman by surprise.
He not only pushed above but even crossed the half mark and lowered the woman's hand. But only for a few cm when the woman increased her strength to 75 percent, and following that, Aakesh was immediately pushed down.
His hand and the elbow made a straight line, resulting in his defeat.
Numerous veins across his hand ruptured, leading to a blood explosion. The woman left Aakesh's hands and looked at him with complicated expressions. The other Neuisly looked with shocked expressions, not accepting the scene they saw before them.
Snap!
The woman suddenly snapped her middle and index finger, and a green light enveloped Aakesh's right hand. The injury disappeared in no time, and all his veins had recovered.
"Let's go; I want to treat you."
The woman suddenly commented and then flew up into the sky. A white light enveloped Aakesh, and he also flew with the woman.
The two injured people on the ground were forgotten by the people as they discussed the scene that transpired before them.
The man whose hands Aakesh had ripped looked at her with a resentful expression as he saw the woman taking Aakesh with her. He wasn't resentful about Aakesh since he accepted his defeat because he was weaker than the other party.
He was resentful of the woman. She was the leader of their group, so she should have never left as she did.
***
"What do you want to eat?" The woman asked, pushing the menu to Aakesh.
"I don't like eating," Aakesh replied since his body was self-sufficient and didn't require eating or sleeping. He could eat for fun, but that would only happen with Lily and Khaval.
