A Failure's hopeful Journey

Chapter 302: Phantom.

You Xi Wang's spear rested on the nape of the general. The latter froze in his place and did not dare to even breathe. The boy took down his mask and revealed his calm and cold face to the dwarves. The spirit beings shivered when they matched that cold and unfeeling gaze. 

His eyes were as if gazing at dead bodies. He spoke slowly, "Is this why you challenged me? Is this your capital to call me out? The skill pool is as short as your temper. It is worth nothing. You are the beings of earth they say, yet you have nothing that could match the properties of the earth in the least. Shameless." 

Taking back his spear he turned around to walk back to his camp. He was not arrogant in his strength but confident that his words will make the people stagnant and unable to attack his back. He was called a War God not for anything. To him, a war or a battle was a matter of both brain and body. A sound body can only be commanded by a sound brain. Otherwise, everything will go in vain. 

As he walked back to his team the people of the team recalled the title You Xi Wang earned when he came back from his expedition on the lost sector. It was not found out who was the person who started it first but soon the whole area was echoing with chants and calls of "WAR GOD YOU, WAR GOD YOU, WAR GOD YOU." 

You Zhichi stood tall and so did the phantoms. They shared the glory with him and they will also bear the burden of his shame if anyone can defeat him. The chances were low but they would not back down. They all knew that there were skies above skies and mountains above mountains. This was why You Xi Wang was never arrogant and he never looked down on his opponent.

The boy has yet to cross the formation set by You Zhichi when a strong voice sounded. "Stop." 

The sound was not too loud but it was heard clearly by the people. The chants of War God receded. Everyone trained their gazes to locate the source of the sound and they found a slightly taller dwarf wearing armor on his person, walking with an entourage of strong people. 

You Xi Wang stood his ground but did not turn back to face the king. His back was similar to the spear he held in his hand, straight like a rod. The king raised his eyebrow. He was not different from any other dwarf. His temper was shorter. But his courtiers were even more eager to seek death. One of the older ones yelled, "OUTLANDER." 

You Xi Wang still did not turn back. The old minister said, "Outlander, how dare you show your back to our king. Do you wish to see the underworld so soon? You still have a chance to turn back and kneel. We do not wish for your parents to lose their child so soon." 

The phantoms let out a collective "Shit" under their breath. However, the boy did not lose his control, he turned around to face the smug old minister. He said to the king, "Big Dwarf, you stand on the battlefield. Do you understand that the actions of your people are accounted on you?" 

He called the king of dwarves, Big Dwarf. What could be more insulting than this? The King blushed in rage and said, "Yes, I will take over all the costs my subordinates have to pay. However, do you dare to accept my payment?"

You Xi Wang said, "At first your elder, Alcalde, said something similar. He dared to drag my parents into the mess. Now your minister. Seems like you small people are actually an inferior race unaware of manners and ettiquettes. Well then, Allow me to enlighten you what true strength is." 

The next moment he took a step forward but his body did not step on the ground but elevated to the void, and it was surrounded by a golden glow. The dwarves were all overcome by a sense of dread. They had no idea that this guy was so monstrous. Around You Xi Wang a figure manifested. 

You Zhichi said, "The spirit of the war god." 

Yes, the boy had just shown one of his hole cards to make the nation of raunchy dwarves bow down to him. The phantom was twice as tall as the original You Xi Wang. The aura radiation was enough to suppress the people around him. None of them was spared, this was the might and the honor of the War God. 

The idiom used in You Family was true. When the War God appears the world bows down. The ogres were shocked, specially Djal, his face was pale for a spirit creature. He did not expect this kid to be hiding so deep. He gulped and unknowingly his knees bent. Followed by him all the ogres knelt down. Tiberius stood behind You Zhichi and thus was protected by her but his heart was filled with palpations. 

You Zhichi spoke to him with mental communication, "Beware, he is not to be disrespected. I may not be as strong as him yet, but I can kill you regardless of the cost. My brother is my world and if you ever looked down on him, I will take you out with myself. Understand?" 

Her calm voice displayed her resolve. Tiberius was completely subdued at this moment. You Xi Wang on the other side gazed at the dwarves, all of them unknowingly kneeling on the ground. The boy spoke in an ethereal voice, "Shall we go to war now?"

His words made the dwarves tremble. They did not expect the other party to be such an entity. The dwarf king said, "Your excellency, I beg you to look past us lowly people. Please forgive us for our absurdity. I beg you to pardon my nation. If only blood can quench your anger, then I offer my head to you, but spare my people." 

With that said the dwarf king took out his sword and slashed it on his own neck. The dwarf soldiers and ministers were shocked. However, they were helpless. They could not react as the blade traveled to meet the nape of their king. However, just when they all experienced despair the blade froze just a few millimeters away from the neck of the king. 

You Xi Wang said, "Very Well."
