Chapter 17

I pull him backwards. 

He deserves what is he about to get.

*Thud* I slam his face onto the table once again.

" Aaaargh! " He lets out a loud scream of agony. "Let go of me you- …" I interrupt him mid sentence.

"You what? Huh? I did not hear you talk. People like you do not get to talk. " I still hold him.

"Hehehe" he starts to chuckle. 

"Dude, are you okay?" I am confused about the fact that he seems to be chuckling when he is in this position, at the very least he should be in pain, "Did I fry your brain just by smacking your head on the table?" 

Or is this guy enjoying this?! Is he a masochist?!!!

"No you did not, you idiot!" Oh he seems to be fine, "You don't know who you are messing with!" He smirks while saying that.

"Oh is that so? I kind of know who I am messing with… Mr.Linfo" I exclaim.

"It's Linfu! You idiot!" He seems to be irritated and quite a lot mad. It seems to be like that this guy has a short temper.

"And you are about to face my wrath!!" He says something. What the hell does he think he is going to do when I have him on this position? Is he blind? This guy is way too crazy.

"If you don't mind me asking but what exactly do you plan to do from here?" I am honestly confused, "And why is your big friend not helping? Should he not save you from this whole situation?" I have been holding this guy in this lock for too long that we had all this conversation.

But for some god damn reason this guy's big friend over there still hasn't moved an inch towards me. Does he not give a damn about his teammate?

"You see he doesn't need my help. He can win this and kick your butt." The big guy finally talks but only this nonsense comes out of his mouth.

"Watch how this great Linfu defeats a commoner like you. You should never have messed with me." He says this and I'm seeing something weird in front of my eyes.

My eyes can't quite comprehend what is happening right before me. It is certainly a very unbelievable sight to behold, there is some kind of wavy fluid like gases flowing over his body. 

But unlike gases this is….. different I would say. Different and interesting to watch as it is shapeless and is in just one colour only. A somewhat dark yet light blue colour.

"Revering frezoo!!!!" The Linfu guy screams something unusual for some unknown reason. What is wrong with this guy?

"What the?!" I look at my hands with which I have him on lock and it is very cold and slowly is freezing into ice. "What is happening?!" My hands are too cold and I can't move them, the blue colour of the ice is spreading onto my hands.

I can feel my breathing slow down and I am loosing the feeling on my hands, let alone my body. 

The blue wavy gases look like flames now. Burning yet blue in colour. Did it change? Is it because he said those words? 

"Duero...….." I can feel a voice calling me but it is so clear that I have a feeling it was not someone talking in real life.

"Duero...…." There it is again. Is it in my head? Am I losing my mind to go to the point of hallucinating and hearing voices?

"Duero, do you want to get out of this situation?" Whatever it is, whoever it is help me regain my strength.

What is happening to me?

"Do you wish to protect everyone?"

Everyone? Is that even possible for someone like me to protect everyone?

"Let me lend you my strength. Let me help you….. release your true powers." 

YES! LEND ME STRENGTH TO PROTECT EVERY SINGLE SOUL!

"!!!!Ha!" I suddenly wake up from what felt like a long never ending dream. I feel like I have too much energy in me.

I feel my body regain its heat and I feel my hands burning up. It is getting heated.

Why does it feel like it's getting too hot in here? Did someone turn on the heater to this room? I feel the sweat running down from my forehead, across the cheek and finally drips from my chin.

*Tssssssshhh* Hmmmm?? 

What was that sound? It kind of sounded like something frying up.

"Aaaaaaargh!!!!!!" I hear loud sound of someone screaming. It was not me though. 

 I look down and see that my hands are on fire. The ice that was spreading across my hands were now melting and disappearing into thin air.
