Harius The Dead
"Wow! WHAT?! Wait, is that kid actually at the fucking Link Consolidation Realm. He is at the fucking 1st stage at that?!!" - "Holy shit, no? That can't be! How did the referee allow this? What is going..." - "Oh wow, that one is Ciemnosc!" - "Is he finally showing himself? And he broke through! But why is he not fighting a 5th stage or 6th stage in the same realm?" - "Since it's Ciemnosc, maybe he doesn't mind trying while dying in the process..." - "Or since it is Ciemnosc, maybe...maybe he can do it..."
"WOW! But I thought Ciemnosc was a little boy? What happened to that? It can't be him, right?" - "Nope, it's him. I saw him pose seriously beside our serious goddess in some photos." - "He looks so damn fine~." - "Even more manly than some of you guys, wawee! Ciemnosc! Have my babies!!" - "For that meaning, are you saying that you want him to have your already born children?" - "Uggh, shut up."
‘It’s lively out there.’ Thought Ciemnosc, and it was so indeed, the arena that was seemingly waiting for something and was quiet began to chatter and chatter until their voices altogether created an extensively loud noise all over the arena and drifted towards the center.
“... … …” Nothing much happened over the next few minutes. For Ciemnosc, it felt as if he had gone back to how he first started ‘training’ and honing his killing methods and ideas in the stadiums, with not many in the early morning to fight him. But now, it was an already filled arena, and it was the afternoon.
“...Do you really plan on fighting me for 400 Inferior Powerful Stones?” Suddenly, and at last, a young thin man approached the arena and asked Ciemnosc, who was mindlessly looking around while waiting for someone to come fight him. Since someone showed themselves, Ciemnosc looked down at the thin person and nodded, “Get in or not, can’t you read?”
“...Alright then! Let’s see if you can even fight, boy!” Being so directly offended by a little shit a whole realm below him, the thin young man with very short hair responded ‘enthusiastically’, jolting his body and walking towards the referee without wasting another second.
“PISS OFF~!!” A grotesque, brutal voice came from the other side of outside the arena, and at once, a huge, big bellied man with his skin filled with tattoos of orange and orange-red color along with some more natural black dye, his whole torso was like a pattern consisted about lines of an aquatic-like fashion.
“Hey, it’s my turn! You just arrived. Besides, I also just got my feet on the step to the refer-” The thin young man was suddenly lashing at the huge, big bellied fatso. Meanwhile, the crowd hissed abruptly as they saw someone seeking death. And so, the huge fatso replied in the very same way as before, “I SAID- PIIISS OOOOOOFFFF~~!!”
“...!” His dragged out, brutal, and so loud voice instantly intimidated the young man, but the fatso wasn’t just screaming now as his huge, fat right hand moved to slap the left cheek of the young man. And since it was a slap, the referee didn’t force his way in and stopped the fight before taking both of them out, it was okay up to this level… but he then remembered who this fatso is.
“Wait!-”
PLAAAGH! Whoooooooosh- BUUMPKKH!
The thin young man had his entire body directly fly backwards, the nearby wall creating a small ‘defensive’ protection that was in truth just aesthetics broken apart a little as a crack half the size of the thin young man appeared as soon as the young man’s lower back hit it.
“...holy shit, did he almost ki-” - “WOOOOOOOAAAHAHAAAAAAAAUU!!” - “LET’S GOOO TIGEEEEEEER, ROAAAAAR~!!” - “ROAR MORE, ROAR!”
Barely as soon as a voice seemed to be shocked by the sudden scene of ruthlessness, the entire arena that had gone fully silent erupted in loud, arena-rumbling cheers and screams from every single part of the arena. The voice from before was drowned as the ‘tiger’ below in front of the arena raised his huge fat arms and faced the whole sides of the arena every few seconds.
“Haha… Hehh! Haah! Hoooh!” The ‘tiger’ then continued on to flex, histrionic personality showing its ‘might’ as he constantly pointed at the thin young man still embedded on the wall, seemingly stuck or as if his waist was penetrated by something which left him hanging there, unconscious; perhaps dying. Gestures of death threats, humiliation, and simple scorn.
“Now…who is this little fella, eh?” The ‘tiger’ finally faced Ciemnosc and said, his stance comical as he placed the back of his hand on his hips and leaned his body over the arena, making the referee extend his neck and lean backwards while sweating from his head; but still daring not to show displeasure at all.
“Are you ‘the Harius’?” Ciemnosc asked, blinked once, and remained silent, not being affected by the cheering crowd nor seeing the subservient referee’s behavior which would’ve easily made anyone feel discouraged. He was even playing with his feet a little. But instead of answering in any way, the ‘tiger’s’ face flinched, and he groaned before standing like a normal human being.
“Okay, you come out, come down kid.” Harius said, his fat, huge fingers motioning for Ciemnosc, but the latter remained on the spot, as if afraid. And thinking just like so, Harius felt a rush of excitement as he suddenly screamed roughly after not getting a response for 1 second. “I SAID GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE! DO YOU THINK YOU CAN BE UP THERE? GET. DOWN!!”
“...” Ciemnosc semi closed his eyes and filled his chest in with air. He just wanted to breathe in and think of Valeria’s small breasts and how good they felt. There was no need to behave wrongly after all. But then, Harius got mad, for real this time. And as he stepped forwards, interrupted by not the referee but the barrier around the arena, he gave the referee a silent glare which made the latter hurry up to take Powerful Stones, and swarm them down the cylindrical arena.
“I’M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU. I’LL SQUASH YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN AFTER KILLING YOU KID, KILLING YOU!!”
“...I…” Ciemnosc looked towards Harius, the latter flinching just a centimeter backwards by instinct, it was diminutive, but to a huge and obese thing like Harius…it was much more easily obvious and easily noticed by the entire crowd. Ciemnosc then ended his words, “Don’t like to be screamed at.”
Ciemnosc’s eyes were ultimately cold, and his tone was insufferably quiet, calm, and soft. Somehow, it made the entire arena shut up. Even the referee slowly turned around to look at Ciemnosc with new lights in his eyes. But for Harius, this was extremely embarrassing!
Pshift!- STEP STEP STEP STEP STEP STEP…!!
“I’ll get you, KIIIDD~~!!” Harius the Tiger came rushing straight towards Ciemnosc, barely able to wait for the energy barrier to open up, his legs made the arena floor rumble, and Ciemnosc could even feel the smallest of undulations from the vibrations of each step the huge fatso took. While he approached Ciemnosc, Ciemnosc analyzed the former.
‘Almost 3 meters tall…2 meters wide…heh… Too fat.’ Ciemnosc smiled, took his sword out, and with the referee not even daring to get inside the arena, the energy barrier closed. Ciemnosc’s eyes shined as he felt the world around him go round and round for him.
“Heh.”
DASH!
Harius’s eyes shrunk abruptly. Ciemnosc’s speed was incredible as he couldn’t see Ciemnosc at all! On the other hand, Ciemnosc held his sword with both hands and hacked down with it right at the center of the huge fatso. Harius only saw it by the time the handle being grabbed by both small hands was already replaced by a cool, steel blade!
Ciemnosc felt a little bit of flesh, but right afterwards, he felt another body of metal collides with his sword. Harius had taken out a long shaft with an axe head at the upper end of it, barely not being classified as a halberd of sorts due to the overly large but not thick axe head.
The axe head had stopped Ciemnosc from cutting any further than a small gap that was now present but bloodless at Harius’s upper abdomen. Ciemnosc felt his blade impulsed backwards while a huge and fat hand slammed his chest. Harius’s scream rang out in his ears as he slid backwards a total of 7 meters.
“DON’T BULLSHIT ME KID! You, taking me on?! I’ll make your pieces!!” Harius was enraged, and the ground trembling could tell. Just as Ciemnosc was cracking his neck and starting to feel kinda good, Harius began screaming once again, and held his long axe with his left hand. “Since you’re only a Link Consolidation cultivator. Then let me show you what you’ll only see before your life ends!”

Krusshaaa~.
As soon as his words ended, Harius’s right hand was lifted up to right below his fat teat-level, with his fingers semi opened and crooked. Ciemnosc and the crowd could then see how a mighty orange glow came out from the gaps of his fingers and began to converge atop the skin of his hand without actually touching his body.
Fwop!- Whoooosh~!
“I’ll show you, a true cultivator’s skill~!!” Harius screamed once more before retracting his right elbow. Then swung it forwards with all his strength that made the air around him blow a little outwards. But in the next second, the huge, fat body was moving at fast speeds through the air and the arena’s floor! Carrying around even that fat belly like it was simply fake!
“!” Ciemnosc tensely lifted his sword’s handle up to his face, his eyebrows jumped once before immediately relaxing, and the tip of his sword pointed to his right. His eyes slowly shrunk on their own, his pupils appearing evermore incredible as his eyes yet remained as the darkest pools ever to exist.
Ciemnosc suddenly moved forwards! Tip of the sword aiming at the right chest of Harius, he fearlessly rushed forwards and was even seemingly about to jump into the air to cleave his blade into Harius’s body. But the latter directly shrunk his body as he dared not try his muscular body against this top notch sword, yet Ciemnosc only proceeded to aim at his right shoulder then.
Forced to take it, Harius sent his right hand towards the tip of the sword, his flow of Power Energy at its maximum while Harius also greeted his teeth to meet the blade barehanded. Ciemnosc didn’t even flinch as he practically sent his own blade straight into the hand of the huge fat Harius.
The next moment, Ciemnosc’s blade was stopped, all while both their bodies were still rushing in towards the other. The sudden impact and hold made them both stop all at once, groans coming out from both mouths as the sudden stop made even their brains move and slam against their own skull. Ciemnosc was the one to take the first move.
Harius had tightened his grip on the sword despite it cutting halfway into his skin and bones, so much so that Ciemnosc easily twisted his grip on the sword. The sword broke apart instantly with several pieces of its blade becoming little fireflies amidst the daylight, shining bursting lights here and there about everywhere.
While Harius was pondering over why Ciemnosc directly did something as stupid as to let his blade be broken and how was he going to eat Ciemnosc’s legs right now!
But then, it was Ciemnosc’s body's turn to shrink down, and it did so as the broken pieces of steel dazzled Harius while he grasped his sword to cut through Harius’s whole right arm! Not a single space larger than 2 centimeters was left without a stabbing or cutting wound as Ciemnosc ferociously moved the broken blade that was breaking even more with each stroke of it!
Whoooosh, whiiiiistleee~ cuhh! Futomp! Swiiiish~, crreeshhk crreeshhk crreeshhk crreeshhk crreeshhk crreeshhk crreeshhk crreeshhk…~!
“AAAAHH!!” Harius felt so pained by the broken blade flying around his right arm that he could only react by letting it all of his strength run to his right arm. He directly turned around and faced the Ciemnosc, who had his back against himself, before sending his right palm directly to break open that back and crush his entire back and torso!
“!!!” With a large burst of surprise and with the desire to withdraw his palm the moment Harius saw Ciemnosc’s eyes as he casually turned his head around slowly, Ciemnosc instead impulsed his body forth with a tap of his right foot against the floor, the left sole of his foot then meeting Harius’s right palm right away without letting it break away!
TAP! Whoosh, swish- PAM-CRKSHHCH CKRRKSSHH~!
“GRUWAAAAHH!” Harius wailed, not screamed but more like a boar, a wild one whose ferociousness was met by ruthlessness from a smaller but bloody animal. Ciemnosc’s body had crushed the remaining pieces of steel on the palm of Harius, his left leg extremely straight when it struck against the palm, all so that they would get even deeper in.
“AAah!” With a bit of newfound fear, Harius looked at Ciemnosc’s darkest eyes, his pupils still somewhat shrunken but ultimately cold all the same. But he recuperated soon, and with Ciemnosc taking quite some large strides backwards, forming a distance of more than 30 between each other, Ciemnosc took another sword out while Harius placed right arm to rest at the side of his body and ready to protect it from further harm; both because of pain and in order to not lose it after killing this tadpole.
As he saw Ciemnosc stride far away, there was rage in his eyes as he lowered his back, slouched his shoulders, and gritted his teeth to the point they began deforming and changing their angle within his gums. On the other hand, Ciemnosc calmly took out a very thin sword that looked as if it would break with a strong burst of air, not even wind.
“Hm?!” Harius ‘hmmed’ out a little, seemingly noticing something, but just as he was going to discover what it was, even amidst his raging self… Ciemnosc threw out that sword right towards him. It began flying towards Harius’s nose at a speed he could not react to!
SWIIISH~ cuuuuuuuuuuh~...
The sword had a white glow coming off from the middle of its body, the handle was really smallish while the blade itself seemed a bit more like a ruler, but that was just the illusory design of this sword… as it flew by cutting the airflow around it without any resistance!
“Oh…oh my god!! Isn’t that a Mortal grade weapon?! A Mortal sword!!” One person from the crowd rapidly crushed out the brains of the entire audience, not just within the crowd, as they all opened their eyes larger than saucers, and most stood up. They couldn’t even open their mouths in shock as well due to the low capability of motion they had over their dumbfounded bodies.
“!!” Harius had it worse. His face changed to that of a flattened face from being so fat when he heard the person shout out, and his head cleared out a bit. He could dodge, he could still dodge! But Harius also noticed Ciemnosc rushing up at him with another sword. This time though, it was only an ordinary sword with top notch quality. Though it was still life-threatening to him, it was nothing compared to a Mortal sword!
“ARGHWA!” Deciding at last, Ciemnosc saw Harius move to his left after screaming around to dodge the Mortal sword that was aimed at the fatso’s heart. And seeing just that, Ciemnosc rushed forwards at his full speed while limited at the 1st stage of the Link Consolidation Realm, with Harius doing just the same as his left hand glowed orange along with his long axe.
Like this, an image of simplicity that carried yet an unmistakable sharpness of 2 persons fast approaching each other and a sword covered with some white glow occurred before the eyes of the audience.
Swish~~~!...
“Hmm,” with just a few meters more before Harius and Ciemnosc clashed once more, both of them fully exerting their flow of Power Energy in their bodies to the utmost of their realm and stage. But the former’s eyes suddenly opened as he looked back for just an instant, just to look at the sword that went past him just now to his left.
“GASP!!!...” The entire crowd, watching this develop. Could only gasp right before Ciemnosc suddenly somersaulted backwards with his left hand gripping his right handed sword in a quick maneuver of hands, with a reverse grip. His head was like the helm of a boat, directing his body as it made a circle in the air with his right arm against his chest and with his eyes closed.
Swoosh~...crreeshhk~~~.
His left hand reverse gripping his sword, Ciemnosc felt the tip of the sword crush bones as his Power Energy went all out to burst out and hold the sword, which went through stronger Power Energy within someone else’s muscles, bones, and skin. Meanwhile, his right hand had a couple of tiny ‘claws’ embedded into his skin…for as he barely contained himself from taking them all out and purging this moving fat out of its flesh, bones, and organs!!
“AAAAAAHHH!!!” A hollow dragged on shrill scream resonated to his left. His left ear barely heard it as he continued his somersault to land with the ball of both his feet’s soles hitting the floor first.
Splash splash splaaassh~!
As for the crowd looking at all of this, they just couldn’t believe how the ‘Mortal’ sword suddenly turned ordinary, even worse than top notch quality! It had even exhausted all of Harius’s attention as he looked back, he - looked - back!!
That sealed his fate! Ciemnosc directly made a move against Harius, aiming for the right side of Harius’s body, which was obviously weakened by his previous actions against the fatso. All the crowd saw was him making a single handed backwards somersault without the strength from his arms and abdomen, simply impulsed by his legs and directed by his own head while his left hand went to cut through the right shoulder of Harius.
The move was so powerful that the entire sword penetrated fully into Harius’s huge, fat body - leaving only half the handle out of the grease-ball body, which was also a huge tempting invitation to go feral that only the crowd was unbeknownst to. Because the sensation of coldness and being about to be devoured inundated Harius’s mind as he was halved in two by Ciemnosc.
Blood splashed everywhere, as Harius’s left side of his body, which was from the right side of his collar bone to his left arm that was one side of his halved body; his left side kneed then knelt on the ground, but the rest of the left sided body remained ‘standing’ on the floor still. While on the other hand, the right side of his cut off body fell flat without any surprises or drama.
“You forced me to trick you…” Ciemnosc whispered softly, still 4 meters away from the body ‘standing’ still with its knee against the floor and his back facing Ciemnosc’s back.
Tshcl-shalalala shalalalala shalala~~!!-
“I just couldn’t hold myself any~ longer~.” Ciemnosc’s voice turned hoarse and dragged on, and though Harius wasn’t affected, he could tell how terrifyingly enchanting, somewhat enchanting too. And so, chains that were of a bright, pale blue color looking like white when too much glow was around it… brought back the sword that had already been stabbed 1 inch into the arena’s floor several tens of meters away and became stuck - with ease, back to its owner’s right hand.
Ckrsheeeeeerrrrr!
A head went flying. An ordinary, mediocre sword disgustingly and cruelly wasted the life of a Phrenic Realm cultivator; though he was at the 1st stage, still a strong and advanced cultivator.
