The Five Kings: First Step

Hopian 14 - That's a Lot of Damage

Last chapter, Seric and Dahai escaped from their cage with an unconscious Karia, and try sneak past Aeko after he's paralyzed. However, Aeko locks the door shut, forcing Dahai to fight him. After some hits from both sides, Dahai manages to outsmart Aeko and paralyze his arms.

Seric's P.O.V.

"B-But how?! How did you make my arm go floppy for longer than my legs!?" Aeko asks, fear evident in his voice.

"Hmph. Did you not know the true extent of my blessing before you captured me? "On My Nerves" allows me to modify and sense people's nerve signals, and the strength of my capabilities depend on how hard I touch the person. I only had time to barely touch your legs, however I jabbed both of your arms which gave me much more control, and therefore it extended the duration." Dahai explains with confidence.

"You can't catch me!" Aeko shouts as he starts to run away from Dahai.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid?" Dahai says as he pulls a knife- no a scalpel out of his torn Aluminum foil pants.

I gulp, now scared of what could happen.

Aeko is now even more afraid and starts to run even faster, making the floor shake with each step.

This is no use however as Dahai quickly catches up to Aeko and stabs him in the back.

"OWWWWWW!!!!!" Aeko cries out in pain as he kicks his foot back a bit, making Dahai pull out the scalpel and retreat back a few metres.

Aeko hopelessly walks to the left side of the room, crawling when he gets closer and leaving a trail of blood. He backs up to the wall and is now sitting by it, looking at Dahai in tears who is walking towards him.

"Well then, Aeko. You can either die here, or you can open that door. It is your choice." Dahai says with anger as he continues to walk towards the side of the room where Aeko is.

"I-I-..." Aeko stutters.

Suddenly, out of thin air once again phasing into existence a group of 10 silver unclothed humanoid and human sized robots with yellow circular flashing lights for eyes appear around Dahai.

"What?!!!" Dahai panics as he looks around him.

"FUUUUUUWARU FUWARU! LOOK WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHO'S BLESSING NOW!" Aeko says with tears still in his eyes.

The robots grab onto Dahai, and although he tries to resist they have no trouble restraining him.

A few moments later Aeko regains the strength in his arms and walks towards Dahai without hesitation.

"I changed my mind. I don't need you!"

Aeko says as he punches Dahai in the chest with the same strength as before, only not flying away due to the robots holding on to him who even took some damage from the force.

Dahai gags and his body goes limp.

"Don't pass out on my yet!" Aeko smiles as he punches Dahai in the chest again.

"AGH!" Dahai screams in pain.

This only causes Aeko to smile, and he continues to punch Dahai in the chest many times, each time causing Dahai to scream louder in pain.

By now about half of the robots were destroyed simply by holding on to Dahai as he took the force of the punches.

"Heads up!" Aeko laughs as he punches Dahai square in the face with more strength than before, causing him to fly out of the robots grip, taking their arms with him.

"NO!!!" I yell as Dahai lays on the floor with a severely damaged body and face, with blood pouring out of his mouth and nose.

I run up to him and can only look down at him, not having the guts to touch Dahai when he's that bloody.
