137 136. End

The punch landed in his solar plexus and made Heracles vomit all the food that he had eaten or lunch.

He was launched straight through the sky and broke multiple mountains before he finally stopped and was imbedded in another one.

King appeared in front of Heracles and fired a beam of particle energy from Chastiefol: sunflower form.

Heracles tore through the mountain and got shot into the horizon again. This time though, he was out for good.

King went near him and slapped him on the face. It took a couple of them to wake him up but Heracles was coming to the world.

"Stupid disciple, never give any intentional opening to the enemy. Especially when they are way stronger than you." King didn't forget to admonish him and looked at him with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

"It's best to try and wear out your opponent when the disparity between your strengths is too big. You have infinite strength and stamina. You can keep the guy dead locked." King just went on a rant and started to educate Heracles on everything that he found in the duel.

The kids on the other hand were looking at all of this with worried faces. Even if they pit their Grandpa. They didn't know if he was really hurt or okay.

"Don't worry, your Grandpa is fine. He is being taught by his Master." Megara patted their heads and consoled them.

The kids were still worried even after Megara consoled them. They wouldn't believe it until Heracles took them in his arms and they checked his body themselves.

"Master, I can't hold on." Heracles said weakly while listening to King admonish him vehemently.

"Recover." King said and a circular shield appeared around Heracles that healed him immediately to brand new.

"Stupid disciple, you are already a grandfather. I won't leave you like this." King healed him from outside but he didn't heal his inner injuries.

He needed Heracles to remember the lesson and his stupid mistake that he made while fighting him.

"Thanks Master." Heracles grinned painfully and slowly got up from the ground.

"Let's go." King said and all of them got back where they were in Heracles' mansion. Even the time hadn't moved.

"Grandpa, are you alright?" The kids got down from the girls' arms and came to Heracles to ask.

"I'm okay, good as ever." Heracles touched his bicep but the exaggerated movement caused him some pain inside. He masked it very skilfully and didn't show it.

"Dear, go and call the Kray and Dante. I will make us some food." Megara lightly touched Heracles' chest affectionately and said.

"Okay." Heracles nodded his head and left the mansion with painful steps.

"Master, please take a seat. I will make some Persian goats and Spartan Hams." Megara said with a wide smile and started moving to the kitchen.

"Oh, I will help you." Diane stood up and said.

Emma and Bast just silently looked at the cutlery on the table like this topic didn't concern them at all.

They just weren't cooking materials. They couldn't cook for shit even if their life depended on it.

Emma was still okay. She only burnt the food but Bast was on a whole other level of existence when it came cooking disasters.

She managed to burn water. She was just boiling it and it made a whole fire in the kitchen. King had to use his power to control that fire.

"Good." King nodded his head in appreciation when he saw how self aware the two girls were.

"What do you mean Good?" Bast blew her fur like a cat when she heard King's voice and pounced on him.

She didn't care about her image or dignity at all. She bit him straight on the arm without letting go with her sharp teeth.

"Let go, are you a fucking cat?" King yelled when he felt the pain from Bast's teeth digging into his forearm.

"I am." Bast said with her mouth full of King's forearm.

"Yeah, give him hell Bast. Don't let this bastard make fun of us." Emma also joined in encouragement and cheered.

They aren't the sort of girls to take these insults of his lying down. They will retaliate if they see him bullying them for no reason.

"You dumb leapord, leave my arm alone." King yelled again and shook his arm in an attempt to get Bast off of it.

"These three are always like this." Diane shook her head when she heard the three of them fighting in the dining hall.

"If you guys keep fighting like this then I will tell Mother." Diane came back to the lounge with a spatula and scolded the three of them.

"Okay." The three of them whimpered and stopped fighting with each other.

"Good." Diane nodded with satisfaction and got back to cooking with Megara.

'These guys just wind me up sometimes.' Diane shook her head and started cutting the vegetables to assist Megara in cooking.

"Happy now?" King looked at them with resentful eyes and said.

"Hmph, it was your fault." Bast and Emma snorted and turned their faces away from him.

"What did I do?" King whined and asked them.

"You know full well what you did?" They both repeated at the same time and looked at each other like they found long lost sisters.

"Ok, stop arguing and come and eat." Megara bought the food and started putting the dishes on the table.

"Hmph." All three of them snorted in anger and sat down on the table to eat.

"You guys are like little kids." Diane shook her head and put the food on their plates.

"He/she started it." The three of them pointed at each other and accused each other again.

"Enough with your childish acts. That's enough." Diane was way too angry. She looked at the three of them angrily.

I'll deal with you later.' King squinted his eyes and said to them telepathically.

"No telepathy either." Diane intercepted King's intention just by looking at his face.
