Cursed

The people who were fighting also stopped at this scene. Only a few people knew of her and they kept to themselves but all other people were scared shitless. Even the man in tatter clothes felt danger from her.

His instincts were just telling him one thing that was to stay away from her.

"Strong as ever ...", The women standing in a corner muttered to herself. Her tone had jealousy, envy but most importantly, her voice had fear.

"Sigh ..", the loli just sighed and  Ethan, who was clearly shocked but he didn't have nay fear.

"Woahh, you were this strong and you didn't tell me. What's with keeping the secrets.", Ethan walked towards her while saying all this like nothing happened just now.

Many people thought of him as a fool. Who would dare to go near that demon!

"You should stay away from me."

"Eh?", Ethan was surprised a bit due to sudden change in her behavior. Her tone was still the same.

"Come on, ain't we good friends? Tell me what was that move? Can I learn it too? Or is it something only girls can learn. ..", Ethan kept blabbering and walked towards her.

"I said stay away!", This time there was chilliness in her voice.

Bystanders also thought that now it was his turn to be dead.

"You'll get hurt.", The loli said softly, without any emotions.

"Oh ..so do you by chance think I'm weak?"

Just as Ethan ended his sentence, a dreadful aura leaked from his body. This aura was even more strong from the last time. It made almost everyone present nearby suffocated. Even the loli's cold face had a change for a second.

"So you think you can just stop me like you stopped that guy?"

His tone wasn't chilly or anything but his tone had playfulness. Because....

****

A moment ago while walking towards the lil loli:

"Yooo system you better have something to fight against her move or we both are going to be dead because I'm not going to stop."

Beeep ...

"Host can strengthen own aura to fight against that move."

Ohh ..and how should i do that exactly?

"Host can simply upgrade the system and aura will be strengthened."

Present moment:

"Who the fuck is this guy? Why did no one hear about him?"

Many people had the exact same thought. Because overbearence of Ethan made everyone feel danger and fear. Even the man in tatter clothes, who was strong enough to face all the other people, was feeling scared.

"So they aren't friends? And he's strong!! Who's he?", The girl standing in the far corner also felt the dreadfulness in his aura and knew that he was not a pushover.

Just as everyone was thinking what would happen, the loli suddenly summoned a scythe. The scythe appeared right from her arm. It was as if it was part of her body.

The scythe was completely black and smoky. It felt as if it wasn't a real thing but at the same time, gave a feeling like anyone would die after coming in contact with it.

When Ethan saw the scythe, he stopped smiling. Because now there was another change ...

"Cursed scythe"

"The holder: Jenny(cursed)

Level: 47"

So is this because system got upgraded?

Ethan was in no mood of any jokes anymore.

System tell me about the curse.

Beeep ...

"Target has been experimented in field of death. Scythe has been formed due to the curse. Anything near the target would be cursed."

Oh ..so she was stopping me for my safety!

What are the chances of our winning?

Beep ..

"78% with host being heavily injured."

Worth a shot!

"So you really are a little girl hahaha", suddenly Ethan started laughing.

Even jenny was confused as for why he was laughing. She summoned the scythe because she thought that after this, he will stop but looking at him laughing didn't make jenny feel easy.

People around also felt that Ethan was a maniac. As for why he was laughing in the face of death!

Just as they all were thinking this or that, Ethan started walking again towards Jenny.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

But suddenly they all gulped. Because with each and every step, Ethan's aura was rising!

It was as if a dead emperor was awoken from his slumber. Even jenny thought that he was a fool. But she didn't attack because there was no killing intent coming from him.

"Let's end this, shall we."

As Ethan was 20m away from jenny, he started feeling a peculiar feeling. It was a feeling hard to describe. It was as if this feeling came from deep inside.

It was the power of death scythe. The effect of making a person lose all hope. A full despair!

But as Ethan had his aura leaking all out, the feeling was to its minimum.

When jenny saw Ethan still walking, she was shocked. Clearly shocked.

"So is this it lil loli? I was hoping for something better.", Suddenly Ethan appeared right in front of jenny.

Everyone was shocked. They knew of his fast movement, but still he was in the arm length of jenny!! And fine!!

Suddenly jenny tried moving back but was stopped by Ethan as he grabbed her arm and pull her closer.

Jenny's cold expression was long gone. Now it was of fear, joy and most importantly of  ...

Expectation!
