My King System
Chapter 17 - True Power

"Look, I'm the one who's asking the questions here!"

Without even trying, Yuki had made his menacing aura known throughout the shack.

"I apologize, I'll give you anything you want, please just don't kill me," The master said.

Yuki began to relax and moved away from the man's neck.

"Okay for starters, what's your name?" Yuki asked.

"My name is Demosthenes Maxim, I'll answer any questions you have, just please don't hurt me!"

Before Yuki could ask another question, both of the guys that were standing beside Demosthenes moved and tried attacking Yuki with a small blade. As if by instinct, Yuki reached into his pants' pocket and grabbed another dagger. He easily stopped the first blade then moved his other hand to deflect the second blade. Without a second thought, he pushed the small blades from both their hands and jabbed their arms with his daggers.

"Okay, so that's how you want to play!" Yuki said with anger.

He grabbed Demosthenes by the neck and began dragging him outside. Yuki pulled Demosthenes's head back and got ready to smash it to the shack's outer wall. As if right on queue, a spear that was covered in lightning came in front of Yuki's face. Right before it made an impact, Yuki let go of Demosthenes and did a backward flip in turn dodging the attack. Right as Yuki began to get back on his feet, he was a large mob coming towards him. They looked to be protecting Demosthenes.

"This is the end for you kid, you should've finished me off when you had the chance," Demosthenes said as he laughed at Yuki.

Yuki was frustrated, it was as if he was the generic villain at wastes time explaining his plan, and right as he finished, the heroes would come to defeat him. He was tired of being treated like a lower species.

Yuki took 2 other daggers out of his pockets and charged at the mob. He cut down anyone who tried getting in his way. Yuki made sure that he didn't kill anyone as he didn't want to be labeled a murderer. He needed to keep a good reputation. All he did was cause a small cut on their skin or if some got too close to him, he would cause a serious cut on them but not enough to kill them. No one could stop him since all of them were at level 1. There was just too large of a difference in their strengths. When Yuku began letting his guard down, a group of them piled on top of him which made him use his ability.

"Activate ability-"

Before he could finish, he stopped himself. He had almost killed all of them. Instead, he used his strength to push them all into the air. Once he finally managed to make all of them submit to his will, he began walking towards Demosthenes.

"So you paid all these people to fight your own battles? How pathetic!" Yuki said.

"You don't deserve to live anymore, people like you are a plague to humanity, I'll free all these people from your curse," Yuki continued. He wanted to sound like a hero and in turn, make some of the mercenaries follow him out of their own free will while also killing off the one person that scared him. "Kill two birds with one stone," Yuki thought to himself as he smiled.

This was a lot easier than he thought. He was going to remove the one threat to his rule over this world.

"Goodbye-" Yuki began saying his farewell to Demosthenes.

However, before he could finish, another lightning spear attacked him. This time, he managed to deflect it using his dagger but when he looked down at his blade, it was shattered.

"What a pain," Yuki complained.

He looked up in the direction that the spear came from. At the top of a 3 story-building stood a man with white hair. The rest of his body was covered with a cloak. Yuki just assumed that Demosthenes made all of his trusted mercenaries wear a cloak, it still made no difference to Yuki as he was determined on ending Demosthenes' life.

The white-haired man jumped down from the building and cracked the ground.

"Goddammit," Yuki said.

He knew right away that the man he will be facing was a level 2 player since no level 1 player could survive a jump from that high. He couldn't be a level 3 since Yuki was the player with the most exp accumulated in the world. Even so, Yuki would have a lot of trouble dealing with him.

They began exchanging blows, every once in a while the white-haired man would jump high in the air and throw a lightning spear down at Yuki. Once Yuki had blocked it, the white-haired man would come back to the ground and bombard Yuki with endless hits. It seemed as if there was no way Yuki could get out of this situation. People had gathered around to watch the fight but no one interrupted because they knew that they were simply not in their league.

Yuki had become exhausted and was running out of options.

"Hey, is throwing lightning spears your ability," Yuki asked.

"And why would I tell you that?" His opponent replied.

"I mean, you're going to win this battle anyway so I want to know at least that before I die," Yuki lied.

"Fair enough, yes it is. In exchange for it, I consume a lot of stamina however I have enough left to finish you off so it doesn't matter," The white-haired man replied.

Yuki sighed and started getting ready to finish things up.

"I don't want to change my ability just to beat him so it'll be my last resort. I spent a lot of money on you, you better helped me win this battle," Yuki thought to himself as he pulled out the golden sword he bought for nearly 30000 silver.

He felt power coursing through his blood. There was a tremendous amount of power within that sword. Yuki brought the sword in front of himself and began yelling right as he was about to attack.

Just then, his sword's red aura exploded and began filling the sky with its color. Portals started opening all around Yuki which contained unbelievably large swords which had the same ancient writing as the sword Yuki was holding, all of them pointing at his opponent.
