Battle of Ascension

Chapter 126: Playing a Little

"It's a trap?" Randy let out a surprised voice.

Randy recalled his trip to here. He and Zhen Yi found only a few Duskwings on the way. Even on the mountain, there were not much of Duskwings compared yesterday. When they battled the Duskwings on the mountain, the Duskwings retreated after a few minutes, led him and Zhen Yi to the cave.

Randy concluded this was a trap set up by the Duskwings on the throne. He surprised and didn't expect for a monster set a trap. He recalled yesterday event when the Duskwings retreated after it realized it did not a match of him. It turned these monsters had high intelligence compared the monster he hunted.

Randy narrowed his eyes, looked at the bigger Duskwings on the throne and used his Detection skill.

[The Greater Duskwings]

Grade: Ancient Monster

Level: 78

---------------------------------------

'The Greater Duskwings?'

"What a weird name," Randy muttered in a low voice.

Zhen Yi heard Randy's mutter. She puzzled what Randy meant was as she was so nervous, surrounded by countless Duskwings. But soon, she understood what Randy meant as she also checked the Duskwings who sat in the throne with her Detection skill.

But she also surprised by her husband's reaction. He didn't afraid or nervous even the Duskwings surrounded them. She could see from his eyes, he was calm and collected.

Zhen Yi even could see from Randy's eyes, he was excited instead of afraid or nervous. Even from his voice early when he was surprised and let out words "It's a trap," there was no nervousness, fear or terror. It only contained a surprise, yes he was merely surprised despite surrounded by countless Duskwings.

But, even though Randy was calm and collected, it didn't ease her nervousness as this was the first time she faced thousands of monsters. Moreover, the monster had a hideous face which she hated.

Without she realized, she gripped Randy's hand tightly with more strength as they were holding hand each other when they entered here.

Randy didn't notice the nervousness his wife experienced until she gripped his hand tightly. He was currently scanned the Duskwings. Even though he was confident that he could protect Zhen Yi with ease, but he still thought the easier method to fight the Duskwings while protecting his wife.

Randy turned his head, looked at his wife. Even though his sight blocked by the helmet, he could know what she felt from her eyes. His wife indeed nervous.

Randy smiled and stroked her hand, reassured her, "Don't worry, there will nothing happen to you. We will only harvest tons of EXP from these monsters, there will be nothing happen to you,"

Zhen Yi's nervousness eased a little as she heard her husband's words.

The Greater Duskwings watched the two humans which surrounded by his underlings. It sat in the throne lazily, he slanted to the left and its one hand supported its chin while it looked at Randy and Zhen Yi.

Somehow, it felt uncomfortable watched the two humans. This was not the first time it set a trap for a human. Every time it set a trap, the human trapped would panic and restless. But these two humans was calm, particularly for the human wore a black armor. Somehow it felt dread to the human wearing a black armor.

But it tossed back its dread as it looked at his underlings. It didn't believe with over a thousand of underlings the two would survive.

"Hey hooman, is there any last words you wanted to say before die?" The Greater Duskwings spoke a human language which surprised Randy and Zhen Yi.

Usually, when it spoke human language, the human would be surprised which accompanied by terror later as it was rare for a monster to speak a human language. The Greater Duskwings often did this kind of things to intimidate its prey and it always succeeded.

But this time it annoyed as it could not see Randy's and Zhen Yi's expression as the helmet covered both faces.

"Hey hooman, can you please open your helmet? It's impolite to face this Great with your face covered by a helmet," Finally it could not bear to ask Randy and Zhen Yi to take off their helmet.

It badly wanted to see Randy's and Zhen Yi's expression. It really liked the face of terror and fear made by its prey.

At first, Randy and Zhen Yi startled as both hear it spoke human language. But soon they felt odd and made a confused expression as The Greater Duskwings asked them to open their helmet.

"Why?" Randy could not bear to ask. He curious why The Greater Duskwings asked them to open the helmet.

"This Great wanted to see your ex" Here, The Greater Duskwings paused. It afraid the two hooman would not take off the helmet if it said wanted to see the fear and terror expression on their face.

It paused a moment to find a good excuse, so the two hooman would take off their helmet. Why didn't it ask its underlings to force open the two human helmets? Because if it asked, the result would only battle to the death and it would not be able to see the two human's expression.

"This Great want to see your face before this Great kill you. It's a form of respect from this Great before killing you," The Greater Duskwings bullshitting before continued, "So hooman, now open your helmet!"

It put a proud expression as it said out. It believed the two humans would take off their helmet.

Randy and Zhen Yi found it was ridiculous for a monster talked about respect. They looked at each other. They amused by The Greater Duskwings. Zhen Yi's nervousness was gone now. She found The Greater Duskwings was cute on its way. But still She hated the Duskwings' hideous face.

"But we don't want to your respect, what we want is to live, we want to continue to live," Randy decided to play a little with The Greater Duskwings. He rejected what The Greater Duskwings asked for and said with a shaky tone, indicated he was afraid of it.

It was upset when Randy refused to open, but after it heard Randy shaky voice the upset it felt was dissipating, replaced by a joy in his heart.

From Randy shaky voice, it knew Randy was afraid of it. It felt proud, satisfied, and joy. Even It desire to see Randy's and Zhen Yi's expression became bigger.

But it didn't know what was the right reason for Randy and Zhen Yi so they would willingly to take off the helmet. It was brainstorming to find an excuse for this two human take off the helmet.

But it could not find a good excuse. The Greater Duskwings narrowed its small eyes, looked at Randy and Zhen Yi.

"Open your helmet, it's an order from this Great. But if you don't open your helmet" The Greater Duskwings tried to threaten Randy and Zhen Yi after it could not come with a good excuse. It put a menacing expression to threaten the human.

But from Randy's and Zhen Yi's view, that expression was funny. In the first place, its face was hideous, but the strange was when it tried to put a menacing expression, it was becoming funny instead of scary.

Zhen Yi wanted to laugh but Randy kept whispering to her, "Don't laugh, don't laugh,"

So, both held their laughter as they looked at The Greater Duskwings. As both faces were closed by a helmet, The Greater Duskwings didn't know Randy and Zhen Yi faces flushed red, tried holding their laughter.

"B-but what?" It realized from Randy tone, he was trying to act brave while from his shaky voice could be seen he was afraid.

The Greater Duskwings realized that of course. It sneered, "If you don't take your helmet off, I will torture until you are begging me to be killed before kill you," Yet it put a funny menacing expression again.

Randy so curious why The Greater Duskwings wanted so badly for them to take off his and Zhen Yi's helmet.

'Is it fancied our helmets?'

But Randy dismissed that idea immediately. If it really fancied the helmet, it could order its underlings to attack him and Zhen Yi before it took the helmet later.

Now, not only The Greater Duskwings who became curious, Randy also became curious.

"Then we will suicide. I believe your subordinates cannot stop us," After Randy pulled out his darkness with his shaky hands. He aimed his swords to its own neck.

The Greater Duskwings grew anxious as it looked at Randy. It really wanted to the fear expression on these humans. It enjoyed as it saw fear, terror, and despair expression in every human it killed. The Greater Duskwings already forgotten when it the first time saw Randy, it dreaded him.

As the sword kept moving to Randy's neck, The Greater Duskwings grew even more anxious. It finally could not keep its calm anymore as it shouted, "Stop, stop. I will not torture you, don't suicide,"

Randy stopped the sword and put it back into the scabbard. Behind the helmet, Randy smirked.

Looking at Randy put back the sword, The Greater Duskwings relieved.

"This Great is only want to see the face of this Great opponent before the fight. But you guys don't want to fight, right? How about this, if you are taking your helmet off, I will spare your life?,"

The Greater Duskwings finally came up with a great idea, at least it was thought, this was a great idea as the two human afraid of death. So, he put a bait to keep their lives so that the two humans would take the helmet off.

But It would not keep its promise. After it saw fear, terror, and despair expression on these two humans. It planned to order its underlings to kill both.

"Really?" Randy shaky and timid voice sounded out.

"Of course, this Great always keep the promise," It smiled which made its face became more hideous.

Another strange fact about the Duskwings. When it tried to put menacing expression, it would look funny yet now it smiled and made its face became even more hideous.

"All right then," Randy said as he was trusting The Greater Duskwings's words.

Then Randy whispered to his wife, "Take off your helmet and put a fear expression,"

Zhen Yi didn't know Randy planned was, also it was not the right time to ask him too. So, she obediently nodded her head.

Randy and Zhen Yi were taking off their helmet. There was a fear expression pasted on their face which made The Greater Duskwings satisfied and happy.

It looked at Randy and Zhen Yi for a while, before it gave an order to its underlings, "All right, kill this ugly human now, hahahahaha,"
