Chapter 100: Mark Reddish

Perseus POV

This guy is dangerous, if I fight him fair and square, I'll lose 99% of the time, the 1% is just if my luck comes through, in this enclosed space, too strong a magic, he will damage the heroes and so he can't use high level spells.

As we can only capture each other alive, the weaker one will have the advantage since they can go out more, and that's me in this scenario. So that boost my percentage a lot better, and...from what info I gathered about the guy is that he was raised to fight honorably, which mean dirty tactics are barely used and only taught to him during his time at the other side.

He then quickly charged at me, I put my hand into my shadow and pulled a person out which I then held up one of his so called fellow heroes as my meat shield, sure enough, he stopped in his track for a slight moment, giving me an opening.

I threw the unconscious body at him, as he quickly turned back as he expected to come right of his shadow, but I didn't, he turned at the right time as my knee connected to his chin. With a quick spin mid air, the back of my left heel connected to his face as well.

He got up and spit out blood the moment he crashed landed and shot several lightning bolt and hit the body of Sarah the paladin, the most tankiest person I have at hand, she is now barely breathing...this woman has the best potential to be the strongest amongst the current heroes.

I'm gonna need to hire spies to watch over these heroes, I'm gonna need their weaknesses in the future. And there's one outcome that I would love to have, t's to have them weaken the demon lord enough after they die, I'll then finish the demon lord, and there will be lesser hate that I'll receive.

"Coward." Rolan sneered

In a flash, his body is crackling with electricity and charged at me, but he then tripped on a wire I set just now, unlike the others, it wouldn't cut past his armor since it's much stronger, but it was enough to stick on him, and trapped him in place a bit.

And emerging from his shadow from below, my fist connected with his gut, and sunk back in to come out at my original spot to escape his self explosion with his own spell trying to catch me in some sort damage.

And now I casted magic on my self to boost my strength and speed, I then use magic to create a layer of metal on my arms, giving me 2 heavy metal arms, which I charge forward to smash Rolan wo got up in the face, as he fall this time, I managed to grab on and beat him up repetitively as he struggle to defend as my fist connect with his face as he's fallen.

I then just beat his face to a pulp as I got over him, if he blocked his face, I just hit him hard in the chest, he may be the biggest threat, but I'll use my environment to my advantage and I'm now winning the fight as the people they brough along could do nothing but watch in terror as I beat this guy beyond repair.

He's gotten rusty, that's for sure, and I'm a guy raised around Chief Aminu, I practice almost everyday with opponents and proper sparring partners unlike him who is at the other world. A couple of the other heroes got up and saw what I did to their strongest ally and are on the verge of pissing themselves.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" one shouted

"I told you, you shouldn't have fucked with me, you can=me here on the behalf of fucking criminals who massacred the lives of thousands for their selfish goals, the worst cruelty often comes from those with the kindest hearts, and that's what they did, hey caused someone to have nothing else to live for, and on behalf of the victims, I'll do whatever's necessary, and those who stand in my way will die."

3rd Person POV

Mark Reddish, the next pope and the next saint of the church of the fall goddess, 168cm tall, 17 years old, has brown hair and black eyes. He came along with the current pope after they both heard the voice of their goddess.

They tried to finish their jobs and rushed here, but it seemed to be too late as when they arrived at the tree, they weren't even there and was told by one messenger on Perseus behalf that he's on one path from the northeast, but by the time the got there, it was by far to late to stop the fight.

"Stop!" Mark shouted

The barrier was then deactivated and people were allowed to rush in to help the heroes, but stopped once they potted all the wires, Perseus set them up during his fight with every hero that got up, and toyed with them thoroughly as they could even move without getting stuck in the traps he set.

Mark and the pope would later hear that Perseus would use magic to manipulate the wires to wrap around their limbs and tightened them to cut them off, if they get close somehow, he would claw them out.

But as of now, when Perseus pulled of the strings away and let the people heal the heroes again, Mark was wondering on who their goddess was requesting them to help, his body was bloodied and not from his own blood but that of his so called enemies.

And as for the heroes, they were at the mercy of him and their healers that they brought along, Mark is going to join this group soon, and was told that this bunch were a very talented bunch, but to see them barely recognizable...

If it weren't for their goddess vouching for the man and knowing somewhat the details of what happened to the kraken and Perseus promise to it, they would have ran to find reinforcements.
