Chapter 418: Eyes Are Never Free
Gerald already killed his opponent. He was the first one among the one hundred and ten people to do that.
After the kill, Pablo told him that he could do whatever he wanted except leaving the ground.
There was a hidden meaning behind Pablo's words and he only wished the listener would be smart enough to understand.
After Gerald was done, Pablo heard another scream and it came from the pair that had Draxus.
He shifted his gaze there and saw another shadow man. But a different kind.
This time, the criminal was covered with shadow from head to toe.
The moment the shadow covered the face of the criminal was the moment the criminal shouted.
Pablo squinted his eyes once more as Draxus and his opponent was also at the far corner of the ground just like Gerald.
Seeing the scene clearly, Pablo noticed that unlike Gerald, the criminal was covered with only one shadow and that shadow belonged to none other than the criminal himself. The criminal was covered by his own shadow.
The shadow had come out of the ground and it had covered the criminal. Draxus was nowhere to be seen at the moment and Pablo waited to see how things would play out.
The shadow stuck to the criminal like a tight cloth, like a cloak, as it constantly became tighter and tighter around the criminal's body.
The criminal jerked his hands and legs but the shadow kept on hugging him until the hands and legs stopped entirely.
Pablo heard the faint heartbeat and after a few more seconds, the heartbeat stopped too.
THUD!
The criminal fell on the ground, the shadow still wrapped around him.
But the next second, the shadow came off from the criminal and went to its original place, beneath the criminal as the shadow belonged to him in the first place.
Pablo looked around for Draxus but he didn't have to do that for a long time as from the shadow of the criminal, one hand popped out.
Then another hand, then a head and then a full man came out of the criminal's shadow.
Seeing that, Pablo's lips curled upwards as the man that came out was none other than Draxus.
So he was inside the shadow the entire time. He improved his Ego of controlling the shadows. As expected.
Pablo really liked Draxus' way of winning. The man had become a perfect assassin. He could kill someone in the dark and even if he killed someone in broad daylight, everyone would only see a shadow moving and doing the killing. No one would be able to see Draxus doing the deed.
"Well done, Draxus!" Pablo praised the man. "You can also do whatever you want now. Just don't leave the ground."
Draxus heard Pablo and when the man paid attention to his Czar's words, he frowned.
He stared at Pablo and in return, Pablo nodded.
Draxus smiled and simply bowed.
I think he got the meaning of my words. He is the smartest of the lot.
Pablo was really impressed at Draxus. But he couldn't stay in the feeling of being impressed as his attention was taken away by something else.
This time, it wasn't a scream.
This time, it was something much more surprising.
"Please don't do it. I am sorry. I won't do it again. Just kill me. Don't do this. Please!"
Someone was begging for their life and Pablo had to see what was up.
And when he saw it, he understood everything.
The begging was coming from the spot of Sera and her opponent.
There, the situation was one sided.
The criminal that had to fight with Sera was simply standing in front of the girl.
His arms were raised to his side like a scarecrow and he was constantly begging to be forgiven or killed.
Pablo figured the criminal was standing like that, without moving an inch because of only one factor.
Andrezj—The strongest Angel.
Pablo had told everyone to go all out and use whatever they could. So Sera also used whatever she could.
The reason the criminal was standing like the easiest target was because the male Angel forced him to. The criminal couldn't move an inch.
Sera was standing in front of the criminal and she didn't have her sword with her. Instead she had a set of daggers which was floating in the air beside her. Also because of her Angel, Andrezj's magic.
The criminal was begging for death not because he was fond of dying, he was begging because Sera had told him what she was going to do with him a few minutes ago.
Pablo had heard her but he was busy watching Draxus so he didn't look at her.
But now that he was looking at her, he would see if Sera could do what she was saying without flinching.
Sera stepped towards the criminal and before she could do her thing, she sensed Pablo's gaze.
My dear is looking here? I have to tell him why I am doing this. Yes.
She cleared her throat and acted like she didn't know that Pablo was looking at her. Though, her pink cheeks exposed her right away.
Nevertheless, she acted her part and talked to the criminal in front of her. She didn't know that Pablo had heard everything already.
"Do you know what I am going to do with you?" She asked the criminal, taking out a dagger from the belt floating beside her.
"Yes. I know. You just told me that a few minutes ago and I am sorry for that!"
Sera clenched her jaw. "You idiot! You are supposed to say, 'No, I don't know! Tell me!'"
The criminal gulped as confusion appeared on his face. "Why should I say that? You literally told me everything a few minutes ago."
Sera took a deep breath. Then..
"You dared to look at me with eyes filled with lust. Your hand went straight for my chest. Your tongue was out the entire time before the fight. You looked at me like a dog stares at meat. Only one man has the right to look at me with lust. But you did it and by doing so…"
Sera walked towards the criminal and stood just in front of his teary face.
"You invoked the right to lose your eyes."
