Chapter 468: Space wars (3)

"Like I know you would stoop low enough to fight a cat, but are you sure you don't want to stoop lower and gang up on Ace, it would be quite humiliating for you to lose a fight to the death with a cat."

"Yeah, you look strong, why don't you come work for me instead, I can sense potential in you, you can merge with demonic spirits if your will is strong enough." Lee asked

This Jock was a 3 m tall giant, well I've seen bigger giants, but he's still like twice my height nonetheless. He got 4 blue eyes, 2 small horns on his head, 2 giant tusk, preventing him to have a helmet, and he got 2 muscular and veiny logs for arms. He looked quite offended, and with his laser axe in his arm, he look quite intimidating, if this was the me of the past life, I might be quite intimidated.

"I'm already not in the best of moods that I have to fight a dumb feline creature." he complaint as he leaned in against us.

-Seriously, what is it with giants and not brushing their teeth, wooo, I don't know what his creatures eat, but that is not a good smell.-

-With your sensitive smelling senses, it would be even worse.- Dabria commented

-Yeah, might want to close his jaw when you kill him.- Damon added

-Noted.- Ace nodded

"I was so honored that they asked me to bear the burden of this fight, but I cannot believe they would stoop as low as picking this small thing." Jock said before heading to the arena.

Struan then looked around and leaned in against my ear.

"They don't look like they will honor their agreement, this is war, they will not follow what a piece of a signed agreement would say." he informed

"We know." Diana replied "They don't expect to lose and Louis is a man of his word, if we somehow lose, we would have to follow the promise, but if we win, they wouldn't go through with their words."

"Well it's not like we can't stop assassination...you deal with this everyday?" Struan asked "And my sister allows you?"

"Yeah, even back in Neelofar, they just never learn, one guy, I killed, his son then came after me, which I also eliminated, don't worry, he's alive, just permanently crippled. You also deal with them, you're the king."

"Yeah, except I don't have to directly deal with them, I hire people to do it for me." he shrugged "I think I got a bit more respect for what you do now, though you are quite underplaying things when you tell your parents about what you do."

"Yeah...don't tell em or they'll trap me in the house."

We then got ready in our private room on our seats, I can easily sense several invisible assassins in the room, I used magic to sense anomaly in the chairs, it seems to have some barb wires that would pop up and slice us open within a press of a button.

Louis seems to know this as well but took a seat anyway, I then signaled to everyone that we got assassins in the room which everyone take note. None of us are taking action against the assassins, so I didn't either, I can just use magic to snap their necks.

A sound of a whistle than rang through the arena blaring and signaling the start of the match. Jock took out a pistol and shot at Ace, the shot hit and just went through a mirage of Ace, which it then split into several of them.

Flames then erupted from the ground, bursting through his armor. But it seems like his species was flame proof and heat proof just like Louis said, his skin in tough as well and several lightning bolts shot down from the sky and strike against him, barely leaving a charred mark.

It then swings its axe through the mirage eliminating them one by one till he see that Ace wasn't even on the battle field, Ace then appeared out of nowhere from the top of his head sending forth a burst of wind pushing him downward.

He used his huge arms to block it, but due to some dust flying around and going into his eyes, he also blocked his own vision. Ace used this opportunity to create lances made of solid wind and came down hard and pierced through his arms, causing him to roar.

The councilors who were confident before is now no longer relaxed, with our enhanced vision, we can see that they are pressing buttons beneath the armrest to alter the stage.

The stage opened up some obstacles, some machines creating some hurricane like environment to distract Ace, he can just end the thing quick using spatial magic, but he's not, he's just toying with the giant.

As the giant no longer block his eyes, Ace send out some wind cutters to cut up his eyes, the obstacle aren't a challenge for Ace one bit as he is still quite nimble on his paws. It seems that there is a sniper from far away, outside our vision range, because a shot came so quick, but I stayed still and looked relax, I then stopped time.

Base on the trajectory of the shot, I back tracked it to a sniper cleverly hidden on a hill, I killed him and got back to destroy the shot which was aimed at Louis. I also use magic to cause some electrical issues within the buttons before going back to my seat.

After I resumed time, I can see the distressed look on those councilors, the shot didn't went through, they are making some calls but it seems that they can no longer contact their sniper.

-Ace end this quick.-

-Too bad that I have to end a good guy.- He replied before using spatial magic to erase the giant leaving only a portion of his bloodied arms and legs behind.
