The Show Must Go On

Marcus and Yaner were about to spit blood because of the anger they felt at Atomsk's words and attitude.

They had never felt so much hatred towards anyone in their life.

"Why do you keep looking at me? I know I'm attractive, but I'm so sorry, you're not my type hahahaha" Atomsk said as he sipped his lemon slush.

Yaner tried to make it look like he didn't hear him and began to meditate to recover his Inner energy, although Atomsk can meditate at the same time he forged, he didn't throw in the towel, the competition was not over.

…

While Yaner was meditating...

"Have you finished meditating?

...

Not yet?

...

You're a little slow ... Maybe you have some concentration problem?

...

You're thirsty?

...

Do you want me to ask you something? However, you pay for it, I only act as an intermediary, and my commission isn't cheap HAHAHA.

...

Oh, wow. Are you angry about something? I feel like the veins in your face are swollen...

Very bad, you have to be calm when you work ... look at my HAHAHA" Atomsk was saying in a very relaxed posture while Yaner meditated...

Yaner, with a great hatred in his whole body tried to ignore Atomsk got up and headed to his forge and continued working once more with resignation.

Moreover, Atomsk continued to be a pimple on his ass laden with pus

"Oh you're going faster than before ...

...

It's not good to speed up a lot, you'll get tired earlier...

...

As my grandfather always said ... rushes are not good companions.

...

Mmm ... you're carrying your back too much in that posture...

...

I realized that you are not breathing too well ... and by the expression of your face and body ... I can only think of two possibilities...

Either you're shitting yourself or you're enduring a lot of anger

...

Are you angry with someone?

Do I know him?" Atomsk said once more for minutes with an odious tone

Yaner was about to explode, trying to do everything he could to ignore him ... but it became impossible ... he was too hateful ...

He was completely red with rage, the veins on his head were visible to everyone, it was like a dog that growled at strangers when he looked at Atomsk out of the corner of his eye... with his eyes bloodshot, he continued to watch Atomsk, exaggerating how tasty was what he ate and how comfortable he was in his chair

Each time he hit harder because he imagined that what he was hitting was Atomsk's face ... it was the only thing that motivated him to continue, especially because he saw that not only had he been cheated... he was humiliating him terribly and he had all the points to lose.

"Hey, how are you doing? You need help "Atomsk said while he had just finished eating ice cream

"SHUT UP!!!🤬" Yaner couldn't take it anymore and screamed unleashing much of his accumulated rage

Atomsk undeterred by the wrath of Yaner "Hey… I haven't shouted at you ... perhaps you teacher haven't taught you good manners?" He said while eating some candy.

Yaner could no longer contain his anger raised his hammer in the air and said to his teacher with tears of helplessness "TEACHER, PLEASE, LET ME KILL HIM ... I CANNOT STAND IT ANYMORE!

Marcus, equally outraged but trying to reassure his student said "Yaner calm down, don't do anything you can regret" then looked at the referee and said "Referee please, do something, he doesn't stop provoking the opponent"

The referee looked at Marcus and said, "I'm sorry, but Atomsk is not committing any type of infraction ... so I can neither call his attention nor warn him in any way"

Marcus not happy with that answer said "BUT HE IS ..."

The referee interrupted him "He hasn't done anything against the rules ... and I have to remember you that was your disciple who first started provoking his opponent in the same way..."

Marcus stood in that position trembling with rage and impotence

"Hello Mr. Atomsk, I bring you the souffle you asked for ... with double cream and extra caramel" Said the waiter who arrived in the middle of that chaos

Atomsk with a smile took the dessert "Oh thank you very much Yefrie, take a tip" He said cheerfully as he handed him a Yellow Zeniest.

...

Marcus seeing that boast of opulence that had been happening since the beginning of the competition... he faced Atomsk and asked loudly. "Where are you getting the money for all that food? Did not you tell me at first that you barely had money? That you barely had to pay the money of the bet? HOW ARE YOU PAYING ALL THIS?

Atomsk, crossed his legs, took out a stuffed cat and began to caress it and with an Italian mobster tone, he said "Oh ... I said that? I'm sorry ... I think there's been a very funny confusion...

You see I wasn't referring to our bet, I was referring to the bet ... I knew there would be a bet among all those who were watching the competition ... and my intention was to bet almost all my money to my victory ...

Unfortunately, there was a limit money per person and I couldn't bet everything...

THEREFORE, I STILL HAVE SO MUCH MONEY IN MY SPACE RING!🤑

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I wanted to warn you that it wasn't necessary for you to buy my ores ... but I saw you so excited that I did not want to interrupt you

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Said Atomsk like an evil millionaire genius while pulling hundreds of Blue Zeniest from his space ring if he threw them at himself...

Sarah who was waiting for this moment began to laugh uncontrollably

Marcus trembling from the rage, with the veins of his head swelling and with his eyes swollen in blood said "YOU! YOU! YOU! DEMON ... You cheated us from the beginning ... Did you think I'm an idiot? Brat, you'll pay for it"

Atomsk scratching his belly while drinking a soda said "JAJAJA, you really are a teacher and a student, you have exactly the same retarded face. I didn't think you were an idiot ... it was a fact from minute 1.

Who else but an idiot would accept a competition without even knowing the terms of the competition?

Who else but an idiot would accept to compete with someone with such arrogance if he does not know his ability?

Who else but an idiot would believe that someone as intelligent as me would not have a plan when I proposed the terms of the competition?

Now shut your mouth and keep working for me, pair of idiots "Atomsk said with extreme arrogance

Marcus and Yaner, who had never been insulted and humiliated in such a way, were extremely angry, indignant, depressed, and bewildered. "Work for you? From when we worked for you ... shitti dwarf"

Atomsk, still stroking his stuffed cat said "Oh ... I see you are such idiots that you do not even remember the terms of the bet. I'll refresh your memory ... If I win ... and I'll win ... I'll keep all the Inner Base Ingots that have been forged ... so

Come on Yaner, don't be lazy, fly to work, or I'll deduct it from the payroll at the end of the month HAHAHAHA… considering you don't earn anything, you'll have to pay me"

Sarah fell to the ground ... her belly hurt from laughing so much ... she seemed to be agonizing with laughter and her shadow seemed to be in a similar situation...😂🤣😂

…

Marcus dejectedly looked at the pile of ingots that his disciple had produced and to which that ruthless forging machine called Libera Me From Hell continued to produce tirelessly while they continued talking.

"We gave up, we gave up ... stop the competition" Marcus shouted at the referee

Marcus didn't want to acknowledge the defeat at this point, but he couldn't continue to let Atomsk keep mocking them while he increased his profits with his losses... since he was right ... it seemed they were working for him in exchange of nothing.

Atomsk, who had taken out another stuffed cat and caressing the two said "It's a pity, to have lost a slav... a volunteer worker as competent as Yaner ... but I'm afraid the competition is not over ... I'm right referee?"

"Eh?😨" Said Marcus and Yaner.

The referee answered calmly "That's right, the terms of the victory were "forging up to a time limit"... there has never been a surrender option. The fact that one of the two participants surrendered only means that he has withdrawn from the competition ... but not the other participant"

Marcus and Yaner petrified muttered "Th ... that means ..."

"That means you'll have to continue supplying me with materials for two and a half hours until the time runs out ... don't worry, I will not waste anything

Hahaha ... you are the best idiot provider that someone could wish for" Atomsk said while guarding the cats

Marcus, who could no longer contain the impotence he felt in that situation ... green with rage and thirst for blood tried to rush towards Atomsk ... "I KILLL YOU! I KILL YOU!! DAMN DEMON, YOU ARE DEAD!!!"

From all the places in the room appeared blacksmiths and guards who held him on the ground just in front of Atomsk, who was still in the chair quietly, as if nothing was happening around him.

The referee, extremely disappointed said "Marcus, calm down and behave yourself, don't fall even lower than you already are, just accept the defeat"

Atomsk sitting on his throne with the attitude of a king said "HAHA Great, you drag yourself before me ... HAHAHA

Come on guys; don't put those faces ... THE SHOW MUST GO ON!" Atomsk, saying those last words, took out an object from his space ring and threw it at full speed towards Libera Me From Hell.

Libera Me From Hell that continued to forge without stopping ... without separating the view of the anvil or lower the intensity of its hammering, raised his left hand and grabbed the object that Atomsk had thrown him ...

It was another Inner Hammer.

"IMPOSSIBLE!" Some of the smiths shouted

Libera Me From Hell as soon as he grabbed the hammer he used it to strike the metal synchronously with the other hammer.

That way of using two hammers together was an advanced blacksmithing technique...

An advanced technique that not only required great concentration, skill and inner energy reserves... above all it required great endurance and physical strength at all levels...

This was a technique that could only be learned upon arrival at AVATAR Master, and very few people in that rank managed to master it... This method not only multiplied by 2 the speed at which it was forged ... it tripled it due to the synergy between the blows of each hammer.

However, Atomsk due to his physical Asura and his Avatar could hold it without problems indefinitely as long as he was meditating at full power.

…

The room that until a few minutes ago was in absolute chaos due to the provocations of Atomsk, responses from Marcus and Yaner ... and the incessant laughter of Sarah and Sebastian

Now there was total silence ... you could only hear the incessant hammering of Libera Me From Hell, which everyone watched without blinking ... unable to believe what they were seeing...

An AVATAR Student capable of cultivating while forging

An AVATAR Student who never tired of forging

An AVATAR Student capable of performing the Double Inner Hammering technique...

An AVATAR Student capable of absorbing as much Origin Energy of the environment as an AVATAR Marquis

Everyone present looked at Atomsk, sitting in his chair meditating quietly and only one word appeared in the minds of everyone in the room

[MONSTER]

…

However, one person among the whole crowd broke the silence

Yaner, deeply outraged, furious and humiliated at all levels asked screaming at Atomsk

Why?

Why, if you were capable of doing this… Why have you been playing so dirty?

WHY?" Yaner said on the verge of crying helplessly.

Atomsk who was meditating opened his eyes and answered

"There are many reasons why I have done all this but ... mainly because I enjoy watching idiots as you slowly fall into the despair of the same trap that they have placed.

Because I enjoy seeing how people like you, how the arrogance in his eyes slowly turns into frustration, frustration passes into hope and hope turns into despair

Because I enjoy seeing people who thought they were watching me flying from the skies ... and end up crawling on my feet at the end... and in your case I have to say that you crawl very bad… You aren't even a little snake ... in fact you just barely pass being a worm"

The people in the room again changed their opinion about Atomsk ... he wasn't a monster he was a

[DEMON]

Yaner who had reached his limit "I'LL KILL YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Yaner shouted invoking his AVATAR once more.
