Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

Chapter 67: Face Smashing!



Chapter 67: Face Smashing!

“Lady, before I answer your question, can the honorable appraiser tell me when did you notice us following after you?” Curtis asked in a calm voice while looking at Elliot.

Elliot’s lips thinned into a chilling smile and he taunted them with a straight face, “You guys are so incompetent that I knew you were following after us the moment we left the artifact gallery.”

The eyes of Curtis’s followers twitched as they felt angered at his remark, but they didn’t dare to move, patiently waiting for the order of their commander.

“Honorable appraiser sure is fearless, taunting others even in such a dangerous situation,” Curtis said, flashing an amiable smile towards them, making Lisa and Elliot think that this person is a two-faced snake, a hypocrite.

“Danger? Don’t tell me you guys are the danger? Oh my god, I’m so afraid that my legs are trembling in fear.” Elliot said, trying to act scared, but he found his act so funny that he couldn’t hold it in and started to laugh out loud.

“I’m also afraid. Master, please comfort me!” Lisa said while hugging and looking at him with eyes that were begging him to pat her in the head.

“Oh my, oh my, don’t be afraid, young lass. Everything’s going to be fine. Master will give his all to protect you from the wind and rain, and the dirt that lays filth on our land.” Elliot said rhythmically, patting her head.

Seeing that they are taunting them in order to have a laugh, the eyes of Curtis and the men in black twitched in annoyance.

“Honorable appraisers, I warn you, don’t be so sarcastic lest you end up regretting your actions,” Curtis said, pulling out a sword from the sheath strapped around his waist and pointing it at Harley and Joker.

The rest of the men in black followed his actions and also pulled out melee weapons, pointing them at the two in the center of the commotion being taken place in the most vacant alley of the entire city, threatening them to stop disrespecting them.

Lisa raised her hands in surrender, signifying that she’s willing to give up without a fight.

“Ah sure,” Elliot stopped laughing, acting as if he is really afraid this time, but to be honest, he wasn’t as they were too weak compared to him, and he could defeat them easily.

“Mind telling us why you guys are here?” Lisa asked the stalkers, taking the words right out of Elliot’s mouth!

“We just want to escort honorable Joker back to our base,” Curtis replied, exposing his intention to the two of them.

“So many people just to escort me? How about you be more sincere? What exactly are you planning to do?” Elliot said while looking at Curtis.

Curtis looked back at him, staring right into his eyes with a mocking smile on his face. “We will be taking you all for ourselves. We will enslave you and force you to work for ourselves. You’ll start exclusively working in our dungeon, and as long as you behave well, you’ll gain a lot of benefits – women, money, sex slaves, and artifacts, anything you can think of.”

“He already has all of that, so how about you fuck off?” Lisa said out loud laughingly, and at the same time, using her ability, causing rocky spikes to protrude out of the ground beneath their feet.

The spikes were about to land a strike on the chest of several men in black, when in that very instant, an overbearing force landed on them, crushing them in the blink of an eye, shattering them into dozens of pieces before they could bring any harm to the anyone.

The pieces of the shattered rocks dropped to the ground, producing low thudding sounds as Curtis arrogantly looked at them in utter contempt, for they were weaker than himself while attacking them with his superpower, forcing Lisa to her knees and make Elliot feel like there was a boulder on his back.

Lisa couldn’t fight back at all, and her knees remained pressing against the ground, causing her eyes to widen in shock as she realized that this mysterious person is far stronger than her.

<A mysterious force is acting on your body, pressuring you to your knees and trying to decrease your strength>

<The effect of the curse of suppression has decreased by 80% as you’re physically as powerful as a magician in the middle stages of the channel opening stage>

<Your strength has decreased to 16 points>

<Your Agility has decreased to 18 points>

<You’re losing one unit of stamina every minute trying to resist it>

<Increase your physical strength by a tremendous amount to break free from the superpower, curse of suppression>

A few notifications popped up into Elliot’s mind, explaining to him about the way Curtis’s superpower works and that it has weakened him.

Although his strength decreased by a large power, he still stood still, not even breaking a single nervous sweat, seemingly unbothered by the adverse situation he was in along with his girlfriend. 

“What the hell did you do to me? Why am I feeling so weak?” Lisa said, gritting her teeth in anger, angered by the fact that someone other than her lover has the audacity to force her to her knees. 

Curtis laughed at the top of his lungs, feeling prideful to suppress two magicians in the magical realm.

“It’s my superpower, the curse of suppression. It allows me to pressurize and decrease the strength of anyone weaker than me. I wasn’t sure about whether you guys were weaker than me when I first saw you, but I made sure of it by using my artifact, the eye of the storm. With the help of my artifact, the eye of the storm, I can discern the evolutionary stage of anyone, no matter what artifact they use to hide it. So, I gauged how strong you were by peeping at the both of you in the artifact gallery. You guys are merely in the eighth and the fourth level of the magical realm! How dare you flaunt your wisdom in front of me? How dare you try to resist me?! I will make sure to enslave you, honorable appraiser, and lady, I will enjoy your flesh and once I am done with you, I will throw your corpse to the ground for my loyal dogs to enjoy, not letting you rest in peace even after your death!! That’s an appropriate punishment for someone acting against the loyal follower of the great serpentine devil, trying to harm and kill them!!” Curtis said with a smile on his face, taunting Elliot before looking at Lisa from head to toe with lust in his eyes.

“You–” Lisa felt angered by his words and her eyebrows raised in dissatisfaction.

“Don’t interfere,” Elliot said, telling her to stay put and stay silent.

“But–“

“Stay put. I will deal with them alone,” Elliot said, stopping her from saying another word, motioning her to just protect herself and leave this battle to him.

He looked so damn cool right now that Lisa’s heart skipped a beat, causing her to blush feverishly.
