Luck is a Charm

Chapter 69: Fighting for the Essence Flame

Zen was dazed before returning back to his consciousness after the kiss from Freya.

Inside the mysterious space, Cecilia felt her body burning in the heat but couldn't tell what this feeling was.

Silence just continues to stay true to his name and stay completely silent at this turn of events.

This atmosphere tension finally breaks down when the volcano starts to erupt.

*Kabam*

*Clink*

Multiple hot rocks flew out from the volcano and magma started covering the landscape.

Zen knew this was a disaster but can't help himself from being mesmerized by this scene.

"Freya, look at this beautiful scene. Almost like it's announcing you have become my woman officially."

Zen went back to his shameless mode right away to ease the tension and continue his advance.

Freya was about to get a headache from this kind of person. 'Just how did this kind of person become acquainted with Cecilia.'

"Oi, don't give me that look as you are attracted to me as well. Otherwise, you wouldn't have given me your first kiss."

"H-How did you know?" Freya was surprised to have her secret revealed by Zen.

'Could he read my mind as well?'

"Although I can't read minds, I can read what they're thinking from their expressions. You are too easy to read since you're not good at lying at all."

Zen said cheekily before moving in closer to Freya.

He needs to make sure those flying hot rocks do not hit them and if it does, he can protect her right away.

"I-I'm not that naive ok. I'm in the Divine King realm for your information." Freya said to rebuke him.

"D-Divine King? What cultivation rank is that?"

"It is at least over 10+ cultivation rank higher than you Zen."

Before Freya can reply to Zen, Cecilia took the honor to inform Zen.

'10+ cultivation higher than me'

Zen said inwardly before staring at Freya as he has just seen a ghost.

Only in this moment did Zen feel like he was the biggest idiot and retard in this world.

He was worrying about Freya's safety when she was stronger than him by a mile.

Not to mention, he also took multiple advantages and acted shamelessly in front of her on numerous occasions.

"Why didn't anyone tell me that Freya is extremely strong?"

"You never asked and besides, she may seem strong to you. But for us, she is still an amateur."

Silence said since the Divine King realm is really an ant for him.

Freya nodded at Silence's word since she can sense his overwhelming aura despite him restricting it already.

Even though Silence restricts his aura, he cannot conceal the natural qi around his sword since it is based on instinct.

Instinct where you simply have the strong pressure and aura of a strong being just by appearing in front of someone.

However, Zen does not feel much of this pressure since Silence is now under his command and mainly it was due to Cecilia's presence.

"Mother in hell, Freya, why didn't you beat me up then since I'm a weak faggot."

Zen outburst so loudly that even the people rushing for the essence flame looked at him.

Freya facepalm in her head and wonder if he took the wrong medicine today.

Zen who screamed aloud was a bit embarrassed since he meant to scream that internally.

As Zen was trying to explain himself, a lightning bolt was suddenly going toward Zen's location.

*Booom*

Thanks to Zen's true qi barrier, the power was nullified but Zen had a solemn expression.

"To think someone dares to strike me first when I'm being distracted huh," Zen said slowly before finding the mana source from the person who tried to attack him.

Scanning the area of the many people, Zen noticed something interesting. It was from someone that he has been looking for this entire time.

The hunters who harmed Kuro and magically disappeared were in the crowd, sneak attacking him.

Without saying anything else, Zen drops down from Silence and fluctuates his true qi, and moves with extreme speed.

*Swoosh*

Due to the speed of Zen, the wind's pressure increased by 170mph and became a bit deadly to those mages who have weak defenses.

Although most of them were innocent, in the end, they were still going to become enemies as they were fighting for the essence flame.

Therefore, collateral damage is what Zen wanted before striking the person who cast the lightning strike on him.

Unable to react, the person was punched and sent flying away.

*Crash*

The person crashed into multiple trees before stopping after 5 trees were destroyed.

His ribs and bones were completely crushed.

Screams of pain echoed from him but before he could scream a second time, Zen appeared right in front of him before punching his jaws.

*Arghh*

The person's teeth start to fall with blood dripping everywhere. Zen didn't stop at all and continued to punch him with his true qi.

After another 3 minutes of bashing, Zen finally stopped after his breathing stopped.

Zen's fist is now covered in blood and the person is now completely unrecognizable.

Internal organs and bones were jumbled up together while his face was turned into one like a mashed potato.

Turning his head around slowly to eye the person's companion slowly, Zen gave a bright smile.

"I didn't plan on killing any one of you for harming Kuro. However, to think you people have the guts to attack me when I'm unprepared."

Zen said with a glowing expression on his face.

The crowd of people all has sweat on their back as they witnessed this gory scene that happened right before their eyes.

They weren't scared of people dying but the way Zen killed him was in a merciless yet brightful mood.

Such a person could be labeled as a psychopath or one who is ruthless toward the enemies without sparing them a chance.

Zen who saw most of the people being scared and trying to run away is happy.

'With this performance of mine, I want to see who dares to fight me for this essence flame.'

Zen didn't want to fight and kill so many people that he has no grudge with. They are all fighting for the essence flame which is blessed by heaven so whoever is capable gets them.

He won't kill them for something natural so he would give them a chance to run away after he showcases his power.

However, no matter how many people decide to run away, the companion of the person he just murdered will not escape.

After all, they belong to those categories that have harmed Kuro and is indirectly related to the people that have plotted against Cecilia.
