Lessening the burdon

Sharon, the guard captain and the guards looked at the two young man standing there calmly. A slight hope starting to take root inside their heart.

"They are not even phased by the killing intent of the Sword god. If we had not experienced Alan's Killing intent earlier, I might have peed in fear." The guard captain though to himself.

"I win, less than a quarter of the old man's level. Now pay up." Ben grinned widely and put forth his palm.

"Ah, what a disappointment. Take it. Alan produced a ruby red crystal the size of a child's first from his storage ring and placed it on Ben's palm.

Everyone were stunned by the scene infront of them. The two were having a wager! And one person even have a storage ring!

" Ah, my two new slaves. Good..... Good, they can use mana. My task will be so easy going forward. Princess come forward and go inside the house. Prepare yourself. I will turn these two into my slave first and then we will have the whole night for ourself." The wicked and filthy grin on the face of the man made Sharoun's stomach churn and she felt like throwing up whatever she had eaten for the past week.

Ben took a couple of steps forward and bowed deep. " Sword God. Please turn us into slaves first. Let the princess watch your greatness with her own eyes before she submit to you whole heartedly."

"Ha ha ha..... What a sensible slave. You are right though. A small demonstration of my power is definately a good way to earn their subservience. Here, watch my greatness in Awe..."

The man in gold shirt raised his hand and a red beam shot out of his index finger, straight into the forehead of Ben. Everyone winced at the scene. But, nothing happened.

Confused, he tried once more. Again, nothing happened.

He tried the same on Alan. Still, the result was the same. Frustrated, he used his mind controller skill at one of his follower who was unfortunate enough to be nearby. He immediately became rigid and his eyes glossed over loosing all the emotion and stood there like a puppet.

"You dare defy my wishes. I am the sword god. No one can challenge my might and live." He drew his sword and dashed towards Ben. He was a blur and reached Ben in a blink of an eye. Sharon screamed and covered her eyes.

A screamed followed hers and continued for a while. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw a scene that she had never imagined in her wildest dream. The person rolling on the ground with an arm and a leg missing was not Ben!!!!! But the Sword God himself!!!!!

Stunned silence had enveloped the whole clearing not even a single person moved or even breathed.

"I will deal with you later. Let me lessen you burden first." Ben vanished from the place he was standing after saying that. Then, th screem started to echo around the settlement. Heads started rolling one after the other and within fifteen minute the whole place fell into a deathly silence.

Ben flashed back to his original standing spot. The twin blad in his hands dripping blood. But, his cloths or any exposed parts of his body were spotless. He swung his swords in an extremly fast arc, removing the blood staines from his swords which gleamed in the setting sun.
