2 Arriving at kondoor

In a bustling city, different species of creatures, ranging from humans to beasts could be seen moving from place to place across the street, low-level intelligence beasts pulling different carriages roamed across the area, Tall castle-like buildings could be seen as the city looked fairly developed.

Triiinngg!

A portal opened up above the city and a man came out of it.

"Not bad, he was able to get me to Varadile city.... even though it's structure has changed I can still recognize it. " Alusec floated in the air as he stared at the bustling city from above.

Some of the creatures were shocked to see someone flying because it was well known that you had to be an Esei level being before unlocking the ability to fly.

Another reason was that Kondoor planet placed restrictions on the flying abilities, only Omega level beings and above could fly without being restricted, a lot of them wondered who the man was to be so powerful.

Alusec checked around the city before landing. The people around did not dare to bump into him even though the streets were crowded.

"You.... point me in the direction of a barber's shop." Alusec spoke while pointing to a humanoid looking creature with a crocodile head.

"Me..." the creature asked while looking around to be sure.

"Yes, you," Alusec replied firmly, he could not locate anywhere when he was looking from above, a lot of things had changed since he was last here, so he was basically like a first timer in the city.

"O-Ok." the crocodile-headed man replied, with a look of intimidation wondering why he was picked when there was not a single strand of hair on his head.

The crocodile man headed south of the city as Alusec followed beside him.

On their way, Alusec chatted with the crocodile man who was named Chad. Alusec wondered, 'what kind of name is that, during the five hundred thousand years that I was away did people lose their sense of naming. Chad? eww... no sauce at all'

Oblivious to what was going on in Alusec mind Chad kept tooting away as he spoke about the city and its history, he was no longer feeling intimidated like before, he felt that Alusec was an easy-going person who didn't let the power he had to go to his head.

They got to the barber's shop which was at the edge of the city but in a commercial area. The barbershop had the sign 'Amazing hands hair salon'.

After entering the shop, Alusec looked around only to see a reddish-brown sofa which was riddled with tears and holes, a chair opposite a rectangular mirror on the wall, and a fat looking man snoring while seating on the sofa. The fat man's neck was arched to the back, with his esophagus bloating and decreasing every passing second.

The shop was very small and looking run down, there were even holes in the roof and small cracks on the walls.

"Hey, Lam wake up..." Chad shouted while tapping the fat man.

"Huh..." the fat man opened his eyes to see a crocodile tapping him and a man in black robes and long dreadlocks covering his face, standing behind the crocodile.

"I'm awake! I'm awake!" he shouted while jumping to his feet.

Alusec stared at the fat man, and then at his hands.

"Those hands don't look amazing to me.... they look fat," Alusec said while staring at the bulky man named Lam.

"Come on mister, don't judge a book by it's cover. Why don't you take a seat and let me look at your hair." Lam said while guiding Alusec to sit down.

Alusec sat down and stared at the mirror while using his hands to part the dreadlocks covering his face. His dreads were so long that they reached his lower back.

'why does he look like a caveman, see all that hair and unkempt beards... well time to give you a nice cut.' Lam held his chin and thought while checking Alusec out.

Shing!

Lam right hand turned into a long sharp blade.

'No wonder there was no equipment, his hands are the equipment. He's a Flandorian....'

Alusec thought after seeing the reflection of the blade from the mirror.

"Far from home, aren't you?" Alusec asked with curiosity.

"What do you mean mister?" Lam asked while letting his right hand which was now a blade pause in the air.

"What's a Flandorian doing in Kondoor?" Alusec asked while staring at Lam's face through the mirror.

Flandor was a planet that was many stars away from Kondoor, their species were known for turning their body parts into weapons.

Lam paused for a while, his face showed a hint of pain, but before he could answer Chad interrupted.

"Sir Alusec, don't tell me you don't know..." Chad asked from the sofa area.

"Know what?" Alusec asked looking puzzled.

"Flandor was destroyed four hundred years ago...." Lam spilled the beans himself.

"What! How?" Alusec was so shocked that he stood up.

Lam was surprised by his overreaction, "Weren't you aware? have you been in seclusion for more than four hundred years?" Lam asked feeling weird, he wouldn't believe it if he was told that this young-looking man was older than him since he was still a child when his planet was destroyed.

"You could say that." Alusec half answered his question.

'what? just how old is he? without the facial hair I'm sure that he'll look even younger than he does now' Lam wondered, but Chad was not surprised because he remembered seeing Alusec fly. For someone to be that powerful he wouldn't be surprised if he was already a thousand years old.

"How was it destroyed?" Alusec asked again.

"Long story..... the short form being that two gods were battling each other and Flandor became collateral damage..." Lam replied dejectedly.

"What? it was destroyed because of such a stupid reason..." Alusec said furiously.

"What are the names of those gods?" Alusec asked with rage.

"Lord Borous, the god of wind and Lord Abilech, god of light.... even though they destroyed a whole planet the god-king didn't even do anything.... he just ignored it...." Lam replied with helplessness written all over his face.

"Those bastards....." Alusec was seething with rage after hearing what Lam said. He could never forget those who betrayed him and they were both on his to-kill list.

'Calicrum cannot even keep things in order after becoming the god-king.... of course, he wouldn't punish them since they were in cahoots together scheming against me....' The aura coming from Alusec was so scary that the whole street started to quake.

Ggggbbbbbbb!!

the whole place started vibrating.

"Sir Alusec...." Lam brought him back to reality by calling his name.

Alusec retracted his aura and stared at them apologetically after losing control for a while.

He silently thanked the stars that he wasn't at even 1% of his strength or the whole city would have been leveled from just his aura alone.

'just how powerful is he? just his aura caused the land to quake' both Lam and Chad thought at the same time.

"Carry on..." Alusec sat down to let Chad continue.

Chad applied a liquid on Alusec hair and raised his hand to cut part of his dreads.

Clang!

when his transformed hand met with Alusec hair what he imagined in his mind didn't happen. He imagined his hand that was sharp enough to cut through the strongest metals, cleaving through Alusec hair with ease but instead he met with resistance.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

No matter how hard he tried to cut, his blade could not cut through. Alusec hair was tougher than the hardest metals in the universe.

Alusec who was lost in thoughts before noticed this problem.

"Oh sorry, I forgot, with your level of strength you cannot cut my hair. I will boost your power temporarily." Alusec said while turning around and grabbing Lam's transformed right hand.

"Wai.." before Lam could stop him he already touched the blade. Lam was shocked again because what he expected didn't happen. He thought that as soon as Alusec touched his blade that his fingers would be separated from his hands but alas he was wrong again.

"How?" Lam questioned with shock written all over his face, when he transformed his hand into blade he could easily cut a human being in two with a swing.

"Not to worry, your blade isn't dull, but this level of sharpness is not enough to put a scratch on me." Alusec answered.

Alusec pupils glowed white as he transferred power into Lam's right hand.

Lam felt like he was on top of the world, the power flowing into him was so pure that it made him feel very comfortable.

'So his source is to upgrade a person's strength.'

Chad was shocked when he saw Lam's blade increasing by a few inches and looking more impervious than before with some weird carvings engraved on the body.

Alusec let go of the blade as his eyes went back to normal.

Lam looked at his blade excitedly feeling speechless.

"Go on, Try it" Alusec smiled while gesturing at Lam.

Lam nodded his head and went close to the wall, he moved his blade close to the wall and when it was about 5 inches away from the wall a long cut appeared on the wall, the same length as the blade.

"Wow, so sharp," Chad exclaimed.

Lam moved back to the chair, he decided to finish Alusec hair before he tried slashing at anything.
