18 Mu Lu's Story (3)

"Who?"

Mu Lu was trying to stand up straight, but each time, his back started to arch as the superiority of the opposite party was drilled into him.

"You think you are currently worthy to know who I am?"

The voice asked. The voice was loud and echoed many times.

Mu Lu was having sweat drip down from his forehead. He was trying to resist the pressure placed on him.

"My Lord, why would such a great person like you be out in such a dirty place?"

Mu Lu asked sincerely. He was trying to appease the other party, but right after he had said that another voice resounded:

"YOU DARE?"

A silhouette appeared in front Mu Lu. It was fast and almost impossible to follow with Mu Lu's eyes.

The silhouette formed a fist with his hand and started to aim for Mu Lu's gut.

Mu Lu could barely see that it was aiming for his gut, and he knew that it would cause fatal damage if it were to hit him, but he had no choice but to take it head-on. The fist was too fast.

"Wrath, don't hit him too hard, he has the highest talent in this plane! We must bring him to the fortress!"

The voice from before resounded in Mu Lu's ears.

The fist which was unseeable from before became a bit slower, it was now seeable.

Mu Lu would always have the will to live, not for himself, but for the ones he wishes to protect. He tried to move his arms to the limit to block the fist with his arms.

"Amazing!"

The person who was standing by shouted.

"Such will to live! He still has hope to defend against Wrath's fist? I guess it will be harder to make him accept our deal."

he sighed as he spoke.

Wrath, the person punching Mu Lu started to become slower, he now had the speed of an average First Layer Demigod. It was enough for Mu Lu to take out his Profound Treasure and activate its strength.

The fist landed on Mu Lu's arms. Mu Lu could feel his arms being crushed, his meridians wither and his body starting to feel heavy.

Mu Lu's body started to stop moving, he had a plan to escape after the blow, but now he knew that it was definitely impossible.

"Good! You have earned my praise demon! To take on my aura and holster, that is some will you've got there!"

Wrath spoke. From this, Mu Lu could conclude that the person attacking wasn't a demon.

-Such muscle strength! What or who is he?

Mu Lu thought.

The next moment, he was picked up by Wrath.

"Greed, are you not going to take his Treasure?"

Wrath spoke to his comrade.

"Profound treasure of the Fourth Heaven? Do us brothers and sisters even need such trash?"

Greed spoke with a prideful voice.

Greed turned and stared at Mu Lu:

"Boy, don't get us wrong, we are only here to give you an offer. If you refuse, your life will end."

He paused for a while, turning his head around. He turned his head to face Mu Lu again, but his face showed killing intent:

"I am giving you a warning: don't ever call this place dirty again, the next time I repeat these words, your head will belong to me!"

Mu Lu was quite frightened, but he did his best to nod his head hurriedly. His head was quite stiff, so nodding his head was quite difficult

"Good."

Greed nodded his head and then pointed to the large Skull's mouth.

"Take him to the fortress."

Mu Lu was carried by Wrath and was taken inside.

Inside the large Skull was cold and dirty. The darkness made it seem as if it was endless.

It seemed as if Mu Lu had journeyed for countless years on Wrath's shoulders as if an ant in the land of giants. Many artefacts, treasures and neck-snappingly rare things were stored here.

Mu Lu seemed to have been woken up by Wrath's brawny voice talking to Greed:

"Are we there yet?"

Greed had an annoyed face:

"We've only travelled for two years, and you're already starting to ask? You have no patience!"

-We've really been going on for so long? What are these two?

"I have a habit! Don't make it seem like I'm wrong, you're just a sore loser and you know it! You're worse than me in desires!"

Wrath seemed to have snapped, he was throwing insults at Greed which seemed to last forever.

"We're here, it only took four years, so impatient!"

Greed spoke, interupting Wrath's insults.

"You're finally here, what took you guys so long?"

A woman that seemed quite young and beautiful asked.

"Lust! I need to borrow your body for quite a while today."

Greed's eyes seemed to have lit up when he saw the women, yet he spoke quite calmly.

"Disgusting! We are all brothers and sisters, yet you still have such a habit!"

Wrath spoke with disgust.

"It's fine. Brother Greed seems quite needy, we haven't done it in years, is that it?"

Lust spoke with a teasing smile.

Greed couldn't take it anymore, he instantly grabbed Lust's arm and dragged her far from Wrath and Mu Lu.

"I'll take you to our teacher."

Mu Lu was carried to a luxurious room which seemed completely different to the area in which the room was in.

Wrath seemed like a wise person at this moment. It was obvious he was trying to present himself in front of the person inside of this room.

Mu Lu started to suck in a cold breath.

-What could make even such a monster nervous?

Wrath knocked on the door a few times in a strange pattern before the door started to open by itself.

Surprisingly, there was only a painting in the room...
