Face Exposed

The 1 kilometer tall wall was called by the masses as "Border Wall". Coming from outside, the black dot bypassed the wall and like a cannon, shot down through the roof of a three-meter building. The building was destroyed, sending out different sizes of rubbles. At the place of impact, the earth had a ten-meter wide indention and outside were narrow cracks.

'Heat Smoke?' Wu Fheng thought.

At 45 meters away, in the dust smoke at the place of collapse, it was intertwined by gray smoke, sourcing from a red silhouette within that was slowly being revealed. Logically, even by friction from dropping down at thousand meter high in the air, it should be unable to scorch something to be fully red. 'Likely, it was struck by a terrifying fire magic and was blasted towards here.'

The smoke finally dispersed, gradually exposing a grotesque form. Since everyone was a child, they had read and heard a lot of stories. In the books, there were lot of pictures drawn in there: skeletons, giants, witches, and more. These were what humans perpetually fought over the wall. As they heard a lot of wretched stories, when people grew up, their fear towards these entities slowly built up. Moreover, as the church always preached how the walls were the gods' blessings to defend humanity from the hordes of demons outside, their terror for these demons rose into a higher level.

And precisely, in the center of the building's collapse, there was an entity with two horns and pair of wings. Its body was black all over and was metallic, refracting light that shone on it. But what terrified everyone was its sinister red eyes, gazing at everyone with soul-inducing terror.

Its red eyes glowed, and suddenly, a flash of red light passed beside Wu Fheng, just an inch away from his shoulder. Like a sharp needle piercing into a sheet of paper, the red light passed through random structures, ending at a town square.

"Boom"

A diameter of 50 meters, starting in the middle of the town square, large flames burst out and exploded powerfully. A resounding boom travelled far and wide. The earth's tremor was more apparent and people's screams intertwined into the rumbling sounds of destruction as large amount of rubbles shot everywhere.

"Bang"

A boulder-sized rubble hit the stone-paved road where Wu Fheng stood at. Approximately 10 meters away from him, the spot that was hit caved in and showed cracks like a spider-web. Wu Fheng immediately became apprehensive as fear rose within him.

The servant and the driver were terrified and tried to run away. Unfortunately, it roused the gargoyle's murderous intent as it flapped its black stony wings, flying towards the duo and tearing their bodies with its sharp claws. Before it managed to do so, the guards immediately made a move, and faced it with their spears raised.

"Clang""Clang"

The sounds of hitting hard were produced. The guards were shocked by its defense but before they could flee, the gargoyle changed its targets and swept its sharp claws towards the two.

Their bodies, although covered with armor, were torn apart by the large claws, shredding into pieces. The gargoyle then continued its pursuit towards the servant and the driver, butchering them. The duo's innards scattered and their expressions entailed their despair and terror even in their deaths.

Watching that gargoyle easily dispatching the four, Wu Fheng was scared. Suddenly, its red eyes gazed at him, shaking his inner core. When he saw its eyes brightening, in a reflex, Wu Fheng swiftly rolled into the road. Expectedly, a flash of light streaked through and at a distance produced a clangorous explosion.

With one knee on the stone road, Wu Fheng halted. He unsheated his sword and suddenly, when his hand made contact on his sword's handle, his hidden expression instantly changed. His fear swiftly dispersed like it had evaporated. In turn, beneath his mask, his eyes became focused and his lips curled into a smile. He seemed to enjoy the upcoming battle, which every decision and slight mistake would determine his fate.

The tent where her mother resided suddenly opened its curtains, and appeared an enchanting and voluptuous woman. It was Wu Fheng's mother, Shia Daiyu, and currently had a terrified expression. Her hair and clothes were unkempt as she recently conducted an indecent act. Beside her was a bare chested plump man, his tummy showed its large girth. His noble bearing was already gone and was replaced by an urge of survival to live.

Wu Fheng had no time to deal his mother first. He constantly analyzed every movement of the gargoyle. As he suspected that its sinister intention was fixed at him, Wu Fheng sped away from his mother. Before anything else, he must consider his mother's safety and put a long distance away from her. The gargoyle misunderstood his action for an act of fleeing, as it dashed towards Wu Fheng in the air. Its leg claws made its attack, tearing through the air.

"Clang"

As Wu Fheng's sword clashed, he was thrown away by the powerful impact. The gargoyle wildly followed him, intending to truly tear apart Wu Fheng's little body. Before Wu Fheng could regain his balance, the gargoyle had already arrived to his front and sprang his claws. He wasn't given any chance to think of anything else and intended to rip him in pieces.

"Clang""Clang""Clang""Clang"

Wu Fheng had already engaged with the gargoyle numerous times, etching in a line of life and death. He had partaken every variable on his surroundings. The place where he would go, the gargoyle's attack pattern, its speed, everything was constantly analyzed. If he somehow crashed, slammed into a wall, or trapped in a corner, his death would be guaranteed. Wu Fheng knew that only one successful attack from the gargoyle and he would be sent to the Netherworld. Whereas if he attacked the gargoyle with hell bent slashes, he was unable to procure damage on its tough skin.

As war happened outside the walls, a little boy fought in a deadly survival from the constant attacks of a gargoyle. People would flee away from them, as every path they passed through collapsed anything. Occasionally, the gargoyle would shot a beam of red light, but as if the boy predicted it, he gracefully evaded it only inches away.

Wu Fheng's mental energy plummeted rapidly but he still persevered to concentrate every little factor in order to survive. The exhaustion became apparent as his movements became slow. Suddenly…

"Bang"

From a forceful attack of the gargoyle, it destroyed a pillar of wood and a long shard of wood aimed towards Wu Fheng. His mind was already hectic to the point of unable to sense its trajectory. As he defended himself from the gargoyle's another attack and produced a sound of "clang", the shard successfully pierced his right knee.

With the powerful strength of the gargoyle, and as he lost his balance, he stumbled down forcefully and rolled on the ground erratically. Ultimately, he crashed on a vegetable cart and his bloody body was lifted in the air due to the impact. In the air, he managed to cast one glance at the quickly approaching gargoyle, and in grit, he mustered the strength to defend himself. Raising his damaged sword, the gargoyle's claw however broke the sword and went through it.

"Splash"

His face was clawed upon, and showed three sharp line. Three streams of blood rose into the air and his mask was thoroughly cut also in three lines. As his mask was detached and slowly dropped, his face was revealed. The heaven immediately paled as the clouds converged into a large dark cotton.

Every person who witnessed it became utterly silent as their fears vanished instantly, seemingly thrown upon by a large bucket of cold water. That cold water felt not like any coldness but the frigid ice of the deepest reaches in the part of hell. One look upon Wu Fheng's face and immediately people fell into unconsciousness. One by one, the denizens flopped down as if a massive virus had taken effect.

It was because, Wu Fheng's face was the ugliest thing they had ever seen. In life, everything had an opposite. If there was a world-toppling beauty worth dying for, there was. If there was a world-toppling ugly face worth dying for, there was. It was none other than Wu Fheng's face. The people dropping down out of shocking disbelief were testament for that.

"Crackle"

The dark clouds crackled in thunder as if the heaven was angered. They couldn't bear to see an ugly living being as the Gods decided to strike down this person once and for all. A thunderclap boomed and a flash occurred, a lightning instantly descended towards Wu Fheng.

The gargoyle who was innately savage had been shocked by Wu Fheng's real appearance. For a face to stop its movements, that face truly had a heaven-defying ability. As the gargoyle was above Wu Fheng, the lightning struck the gargoyle instead, shattering it inside and out.

For a lightning to have the power to collapse such a hard entity, it proved the Gods' wrath towards Wu Fheng. The metallic parts of the gargoyle shot at all directions, which some pierced into Wu Fheng's little body. At that terrible pain of being embedded to his stomach and limbs, Wu Fheng's mind went blank and he dropped down unconscious.

Earlier, a warrior and a magus dashed from a distance with a mission to eradicate the gargoyle. "Boom" They had witnessed that strike of lightning and strangely, it occupied their vision entirely. It was as if that lightning was the only thing they saw in the world, filling everything with heavenly presence. It was seemingly the heaven's will to uphold justice on a soul that required salvation. They were shaken internally from the spectacle that beheld to them. Their tracks were halted for three breaths before they regained their mental faculties.

"Quickly! Let's help the kid." The warrior swiftly said while the magus strongly nodded.

However, just barely 10 steps ahead, and their bodies became stand still. They were rooted on the ground, frozen in spot. They had never seen such a disgusting face that they had no words to describe. Unlike the normal people who flopped down instantly, only after mere moments they both dropped down unconscious.

Without anyone tending to his wounds, Wu Fheng continuously bled. To begin with, the people were selfless and uncaring as this was the world where slaves were permitted. They had grown callous out of seeing the dark side of the world. Although someone with a kind heart wanted to help Wu Fheng, each and every one of them would fall down without consciousness. It was better to not help him or those with fragile hearts would die out of shock from looking at Wu Fheng's face.

…..

Inside a certain unadorned room, Wu Fheng was soundlessly sleeping on a comfy bed. His body was properly attended with bandages wrapping him but his head was clumsily put. It was likely the one who attended him closed his eyes while wrapping Wu Fheng's face.

The door opened and a graceful lady entered. Her face was a knock out, seemingly taken from a dream. Her skin was jade white, having the characteristics of smooth and tender to be touched. She walked neither too fast nor too slow, each of her actions showed the teachings she learned from her noble family.

Even by closing the door, she elegantly closed it without producing no sound. She looked at Wu Fheng and smiled, in concern that she may likely disturbed his good sleep. Holding a tea cup, she walked in a natural poise. When she arrived at the table, firstly, she let her pinky touch the surface before she put the cup down. If there were people, she was maybe in need of seeking others' attention to compliment her. However, there was no one, for this was her natural elegance, the graceful habits of her body.

She scrutinized Wu Fheng's body and by her index finger, touched his stomach. Even by the layers of bandages, that lady could feel the firm and seducing abs of Wu Fheng. Starting from it, she began to trail it upwards to his neck. Although Wu Fheng was sleeping, his body vibrated from the tickle. He could clearly feel the warm sensation from the lady's finger, spreading throughout his body.

The lady had two chests like hills, with a perky butt and slim waist. She was 1.7 meter tall, taller than most ladies, but that made her legs longer than others, more attractive. Her figure was top-notch which would drive all men crazy. Leg on the bed, she climbed towards Wu Fheng and placed herself in front of his body. Their bodies was only separated by a small margin that her twin peaks was slightly inches away from Wu Fheng's face.

From that position, her hair cascaded down and shimmered by the flickering red lamps. She panted up and down, and her two mounds were shaking apparently. Her petite nose constantly sniffed Wu Fheng's silky hair and her drunken expression only made her looks bewitching. Unfortunately, as she closed towards Wu Fheng's face, instantly, she appeared disgusted as she hastily removed her face away and roughly coughed out seven times.

"What a foul and nasty stinky smell!" For her to speak lot of detestable descriptions ensured how she abhorred Wu Fheng's stinking face.

From the loud disturbance, Wu Fheng woke up. Upon seeing a person in front of his face, the tiredness of his sleepy eyes was immediately removed. From his sleeping standpoint, he could see the ravishing figure of the lady. The lady's fragrant ambrosia slipped through his nostrils, and he found it extremely pleasant. With the lady's position above her lying body, it was as if she wanted to taste him and had taken advantage of his sleep.

If any man was here, they would already become a mad wolf and devoured this stunning lady. However, as an eight-year old kid and a pure sword addict, his thoughts were otherworldly. He was not a bit knowledgeable towards an idea of lusting an opposite sex. He was not all but a devoted servant of the sword. From disturbing his dream in the embrace of godlike swords, he was extremely displeased as he tried to shove the woman out of him.

However, this lady was not ordinary as she swiftly stopped Wu Fheng's action. Although she was quick, she was caught off guard and had let Wu Fheng's hands touched her chests. She was shocked by how bold he was.

"Get out of me!" Wu Fheng was incensed as this lady was taking a fight against him. He provided more strength to both his palms and strongly grabbed her two plump chests. As he cupped both of her hills, his hands swayed repeatedly.
