Chapter 160 Turning Point (1)



" I f-forfeit.", Max said for the fourth time.

Max was feeling confused and slightly scared, he could see killing intent within Adam\'s eyes but that was surely a mistake, wasn\'t it?

Max\'s eyes widened as he watched Adam take out a spear from his sup-space, Max couldn\'t understand why this was happening.....

He couldn\'t understand even as Adam started running toward him, the spear was undoubtedly aimed at his heart...Adam was trying to kill him.

As shocked as Max might have been as if on instinct he took out his sword from his sub-space blocking Adam\'s blow.

" What are you doing ?!!"

Adam ignored his pleas as he continued thrusting his spear, Max blocked all his attacks but he knew that he couldn\'t block forever, if this situation escalated even more there would be no other choice left other than to switch to the offensive...but that was not something Max wished to do.

\'I need to make him snap out of it\', Max thought strengthening his resolve. There had to be a reason for Adam\'s sudden and abrupt change. Max contemplated the possibility that someone might be controlling Adam, forcing him to attack.

\' Yeah...that\'s the only logical explanation.\'

\'Slash\'

\'Clang\'

\'Brrzt\'

Small sparks flew up from their weapon colliding.

Max frowned as he strengthened his grip on the sword.

" Adam.....I don\'t know if you can hear me but it\'s me...Max, I think you\'re mind is being controlled s-"

Adam jumped back, a smug grin spread across his face as he said,

" I\'m not being controlled....stop embarrassing yourself."

Hearing Adam, Max became even more confused than he already was,

" Then....what\'s the meaning of this ?"

\'Kreeeeeeeeeee\'

Adam let his sword touch the ground and slowly dragged it with him as he move forward, a sly smile spread across his face as he said,

" You wanna know something fun ?...….. I hate you, Max...I hate every single thing about you, you made fun of me every chance you got...I could handle that....but....but you defiled my sister....that\'s fucking unacceptable...that was your last straw, but I still had to keep you around because.....but right now, I can see a future without you...so can you just die for me ?"

Adam\'s smile made Max\'s skin crawl, it wasn\'t a smile filled with bloodlust or malicious intent. That would have been fine...Adam\'s smile held nothing behind it....it was just a normal smile but something about it made Max feel rattled.

\'Sching\'

Adam thrust his spear at Max at an unbelievable speed, a speed that even Max couldn\'t perceive. Max managed to dodge the blow but the spear still managed to graze his left cheek, a single drop of blood fell to the ground as Max stared at Adam unaware of his surroundings.

All he could see was Adam, in Adam\'s eyes Max could see the unrelenting hatred Adam had for him,

\'Was I that bad of a friend ?\'

But soon, Max had to snap out of his daze as Adam rushed to him readying his spear for another attack.

\'Brrzt\'

" Careful now, you\'ll die if you don\'t focus."

Max was forced back until he started applying pressure of his own, even then he was still being pushed back.

\'When did he get so strong ?\', Max thought jumping back.

Max was pretty confident in his strength, after all, he had D rank strength and that was not something to take lightly. If Adam was stronger than him.....that meant that he was above D rank !!

Max also had a slight feeling that Adam was holding back...…a lot.

Max retreats once again, seeing him run away Adam couldn\'t help but scoff.

" You\'re running away ?", A smirk planted itself on Adam\'s face as he continued," I can\'t blame you.....the only thing you\'re good at is running away, you\'ve been running your whole life, haven\'t you?"

Adam slowly began to walk toward Max.

" You ran away when you\'re parents were killed."

\'Step\'

" You watched as they died....like a fucking coward."

\'Step\'

"A scared little boy.....that\'s all you are and ever will be."

Hearing Adam, two emotions tormented his fragile mind: anger and confusion.

Max was confused because he had never told anyone about witnessing his parent\'s death, that was something he carried with him....alone.

But the anger he felt was much greater, so much so that it overshadowed the confusion. Max knew that Adam was right.....he did nothing and watched as his parents were killed, his mother\'s face still haunted him.....

Max could never forget the expression on his mother\'s face as they proceeded to behead her.

.....

She was smiling.

Max could still vividly remember his mother\'s smile, she was smiling at him...as he cowered in the shadows hoping that \'they\' didn\'t notice him...was his mother glad that at least he had survived?

Max would never know, but he knew one thing-

" You\'re just a weak li-"

" SHUT UP !", Max screamed strengthening his resolve once again.

-He would not die today.....at least not until he tore \'them\' apart.

Lydia watched nervously as the duo fought more and more aggressively.

" Something must have happened....we need to stop this.", she exclaimed urgently.

" We can\'t do that...…..listen, Lydia.....we gave them a way out but it\'s not our problem if they want to complete the trial...", Augustus said lowering his gaze.

" He is right, child...….we cannot interfere.", Leo added in.

Lydia\'s mind was thinking of some way to help.....she finally came to the conclusion that she had to interrupt the fight.

\'I need to hurry....this is getting out of hand.\'

But just as Lydia was about to jump in, Georna stopped her.

" Don\'t be stupid...if you go in now, that boy will kill you as well."

" Adam wouldn\'t do that !", Lydia said coming to his defense.

Georna sighed and shook her head in disappointment,

"Your naivety knows no bounds, I noticed it when that boy first came but now it\'s even more clear....."

" What is ?", Lydia asked confused.

...

Georna\'s eyes narrowed as she observed Adam,

" That boy may be human but.....he has the eyes of a beast and you know what they say about deranged beasts-"

Leo and Augustus glance at each other.

"-- they won\'t stop until everything and everyone in their path is destroyed."
