Human Deity: Rise of the Arthur

Chapter 3: Information is Power

"Well first things first, can you guys tell me everything about this realm?" interest filled Arthur's eyes as he looked at both the archer and old man with respect. Information is power and what Arthur lacked was information.

He obviously needed information regarding this new world he was transported to. Everything in this world was surprising to him even though his face didn't show it. His demeanor towards the two was both caution and interest.

"Why the hell should I tell you? Huh? Give me a good reason to not slit your throat right now!" the archer said with an angry tone looking at him tightly gripping the oversized blade in her hand, she was still shocked that he had multiple Wills but her pride won't let her let it off easy knowing that her Will was dispersed by one of his Wills.

"Little girl, don't be like that, this youth has traveled from another world possibly even from another realm and he isn't even a ranker." the old man said calmly with a soothing voice.

"Where he came from has nothing to do with me! He should even be alive in the first place! My Will is Will of Soul Erosion that means you should be withering in agony like the ant you are!" the archer let out a loud voice towards Arthur.

The situation in front of him made him worried as he might not get information at all instead he might be killed, after all, then that would mean all his efforts up to this point meant nothing. At this point, the archer had reached her limit and can't let the youth in front of him live as her Will was something that her great-grandfather gave her as he died.

Her great-grandfather was a master assassin that has reached had reached the pinnacle only among his peers from Sage Stage reaching until Wisp Stage Stage. Compared to him, the female archer got caught and sent into the arena, her Will rendered uselessly and even lost face in terms of ability against this youth.

Her eyes gleamed with killing intent towards Arthur, suddenly she can't take it anymore and tried to slice off the head of the youth but in the same instance, the old man appeared in front of her with a dominating aura. The old man then swiftly took the blade and broke it with his own two hands. The archer felt that if she made another move her very own life would be taken even faster than the time it took the old man to break her sword.

"Hmph! Even though you are part of the Silent Assassins Guild I will not hesitate to chop off your head if you dare try to harm the youth again!" These words echoed in the mind of the female archer as she was frozen in fear. Meanwhile, Arthur was surprised at what just happened everything happened all at once and even if he tried his best he wouldn't even be able to see anything other than a blur.

"Ha? You know that I am part of the Silent Assassins Guild yet you have the audacity to charge at me?" even though her body was frozen she could still try to save face. The old man did not budge a single millimeter when she said this. In comparison, even King Rhast would be respectful to this Guild as it was stronger than him and could utter a single sentence to end his life.

"Old man, I am grateful but I have to know why you would choose to help me?" Arthur asks as he needs to know why.

"Simple, you have traveled across worlds or even across realms this feat is difficult even for Great Sage Rankers to achieve!" The old man said enthusiastically while restraining the archer into the ground.

"Now that this annoying brat is down, let us introduce ourselves my name is Joseph Tampus, will you tell this old man your name?" the old man said.

"Uhh... yes! My name is Arthur Reeve, it's nice to meet you!" Arthur immediately answered the old man.

"Brat, introduce yourself!" Joseph shouted at the female archer while threatening her.

"MIA! My name is Mia Amir! Not that you worthless trash have the right to say my name!" Mia arrogantly said.
