Awakening

Chapter-9

—-------------

Ron opened his eyes again, to find himself without any wounds again at the time where he failed to awaken the mana tool, where everyone was laughing at him.

"HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAA~~~W-WHAT A L-LOSER....HAHHAHAHAHHAHAH~" Same boy who first ridiculed him.

"Shut up," Ron said in a low voice while trying to cover his ears and closing his eyes.

"hahahhaahaha~...H-HOW MU-MUCH OF THE LO-LOSER….CAN Y-YOU RE-REALLY BE?? PUFFFF-HAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" Same boy from that side.

"Shut up! I am no loser" Ron said this while crouching down and while holding his head with frustration.

"HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA~" He again sees the scene where everyone were laughing at him.

*Snap*

Ron's mind exploded as he stood up and shouted "I SAID SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!"

As he shouted, the surrounding started burning in fire, as some whisper came in his ears.

"Useless" Suddenly a mysterious voice came in his ear.

"Who!?" Ron is stunned hearing a mysterious voice, as he looks around to find the mysterious voice but can't find anything other than fire.

"You failed" Mysterious voice sounded again.

Hearing this again, he remembers he failed to save his friend, as his eyes became wet.

"You are useless" The mysterious voice is a high -pitched sound.

"I know" Ron said this in low light with tears in his eyes.

"You can't even save a friend" The voice continued to criticise him.

"I tried but they are too strong, I can't win" Ron said this trying reasoning with the mysterious voice.

"No, you are too weak," Mysterious voice replied.

"I know but it's not fair!!! They can use mana while I can't" Ron said this in frustration.

"It's fair," Mysterious voice replied.

"HOW CAN IT BE THIS CALLED FAIR!?!!?!!" Ron asked this in a loud voice.

"As long as your opponent breathes the same air as you, it's all fair" Mysterious voice answered.

"W-What? DON'T PLAY IN RIDDLES TELL ME WHAT DO YOU WANT??!?" Ron started to yell as flames started around him to burn more intensely.

"What do you want now?" Mysterious voice asked him.

"What do you mean?" Ron asked this in confusion.

"What do you desire right now?" Mysterious voice asked this time clearly.

Ron started to think, as the mysterious voice continued echoing in his ears like a whisper of a devil.

"Do you want to live?" Mysterious voice asked him.

Ron listens to this, but stays silent, as voice continues to whisper in his ears.

"Do you want to fight?"

Ron recalled all the movements where he failed like he tries to use mana he failed, he tries to awaken mana tool he failed, he tries to save his friend he failed, every single time he tries to do something he fails.

After a while, Ron slowly opened his mouth as he says "No"

"huh" Mysterious voice stunned hearing his answer.

"Then what's your desire?" Mysterious voice asked this again without understanding what he meant.

Ron looked up and thought 'I had enough failures now, I know what I want the most now' as he answered "It's Meaningless Just To Live, And Meaningless Just To Fight. I want to Win"

That's what Ron wanted the most, after experiencing countless failures and losses, he now just wants to win.

And….fulfilled his promise to his Grandma to become the 'strongest'.

"ahhhh" As suddenly he felt pain in his head, as grab his head.

Several images flashed in his mind, as he saw everyone mocked him for being Failure, remembering all the mockery from them.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" The pain in his head also increased.

Unknowingly to him, one emotion started to grow in his heart…

Again and again, over and over. He sees these scenes multiple times.

That emotion continues to grow as well….

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" The pain in his head also increase to the point it was unbearable.

After a while he finds himself at the same place where he was talking to the mysterious voice.

But now he noticed that he was burning and he doesn't feel any pain.

The fire is burning like there is no end to these flames.

As notice 2 giant short swords with chains wrapped around his handles, and corners of the there is design like skeleton head with very sharp teeth.

The blades are wide and there are several cracks in it, and it looks like there is lava in those cracks.

"Remember this feeling, this will fulfil your desire" Mysterious voice sounded again.

As the flames started to burn higher than ever, and the flames devoured everything.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Suddenly he felt pain in his head again, but this is much worse than before.

as there is one strong feeling, that to tear down any opponents who stand in his.

As he continues to scream in agony, he feels his vision getting blurred, as his eyes start to get closed.

...

Ron now lying unconscious on the cold floor with wounds all over his body as the entire awaking ring covered in deep red blood.

{0%}

Suddenly he opened his eyes but instead of deep blue, the eye balls are now red.

{11%}↑

As his wounds and bones broke, started to regenerate at very high speed.

And the same two blades appear in his hand as chains wrapped around his forearms connected to the handles of the blades.

He then stands like nothing happened to him before, and his entire loose T- shirt has been torn into shreds.

His entire upper body is in full glory; flexible muscles, bulging veins as his hair falls down to his eyes.

He then sees towards the broken wall, in slow steps as his eyes are glowing.

*step* *step* *step* *step*

He then starts moving towards the wall with heavy steps.

*step* *step* *step* *step* *step*

His face is Expressionless, but his eyes are like an angry beast who just wants to kill.

As he sees the three men with his red eyes.

The three men who were about to attack Iris now, felt extreme pressure but not from mana.

It was something like pressure from a hungry beast.

They all look towards the source of the pressure to see the same boy they previously severely beat.

They all got stunned, they perfectly knew the injuries of the brat.

But the same brat who looked like a dead man in their eyes, now looked like nothing about the previous state.

Iris' condition is also not good, her mana almost sucked out of her body, her eyes are almost closed but she managed to see Ron, as she was surprised to see Ron standing again.

But she is worried she wants to shout for leave her and run.

"Hey, how can a brat recover quickly from that??" Axe man asked this to the thin man

"And what's up with those blades??" Hammerman also asked this to the thin man.

The thin man thought for a moment and then replied "Maybe he has a high quality potion of recovery somewhere hidden in his clothes and as for those blades maybe he found them somewhere inside after all they looked like some old blades made of stone".

At this time they didn't notice his eyes as they were covered with his hair.

"Go finish this boy, this time for good" The thin man ordered the axe man.

"Tsk…..he won't be lucky this time, I will finish this brat for real" Axe man said this as he started to run towards Ron, while raising his axe in towards the sky.

{15%}↑

Ron just slowly started moving towards the man.

Axe man came in front of him, as he activated his skill "cut" As his axe started to glow in green.

*thud*

When the axe hits Ron's shoulder, it can't even Pierce through his skin.

Seeing this, everyone was dumbstruck at this point.

Ron slowly raises one blade as the cracks start to glow in red towards the sky and then attack towards the man 's chest.

*Slash*

*splash*

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Blood scattered around as the man dropped his axe and started rolling as he held his chest.

Seeing this scene, the other two men were horrified.

But Ron just stared at the axe man without any emotion.

After 10 seconds, the axe man stopped screaming as he lost consciousness due to blood loss.

Iris has an unbelievable expression on her face.

{17%}↑

Ron then suddenly threw his blade towards the hammer man leg and swung the chain through his forearm.

*Snap*

*splash*

"AHHHHHHHHHH..M-MY L-LEG LEG LE-G AHHHHHHHHHHH" The leg of that man severed from his body as the blood started to dye the ground red.

He also loses his consciousness after a few seconds.

The thin terrified seeing his two companions in these conditions.

As the wind suddenly blows, his hair gets away from his eyes, revealing his red eyes.

"Y-you mo-monster get away fro-from me" Seeing his red eyes, the man was horrified and started to run.

{19%}↑

Ron threw his blade once more, and after the blade passed the man, he swung the chains and used it as a hook.

And bind his throat with his chains like a dog, and pull him.

*slam*

And then he smashed him into a nearby wall, so strong that the entire wall crushed into pieces.

As a result the man also went unconscious due to impact.

Ron started going towards the man with killing intent.

Suddenly he felt a soft sensation on his back.

Iris, who was now free, also recovered her minimum mana, seeing that Ron is now doing something he doesn't want to do.

She started running towards him and hugged his back and whisper in gentle tone his ear "I am fine, so please stop this"

As these are magical words his mind started to get cleared.

As his red eyes started to dim, he also lost consciousness.
