Chapter 106
Kyon grinned and said:
«I was wrong about you, girl. I was expecting a fierce lioness, but you turned out a little kitten. You are below average. You can’t even beat a weak servant.» – Kyon was teasing her in a quiet voice. He wanted to make her angry. It would make her reckless and desperate. He wanted her to be afraid to become a slave. He wanted to see her fall.
«Die already!» – Dinah muttered under her breath and threw two shurikens. Sparks of lightning passed through them.
{She bends the ether!} – Kyon was surprised to see another ace up her sleeve. He opened his arms, the lightning crashed into his hands and disappeared.
Dinah froze for a second, stunned. Kyon smiled, teasing her. «Is that all you can do?»
Dinah was about to growl in anger. Hatred intoxicated her mind. She was so overwhelmed with the desire to kill the jerk that she couldn’t concentrate. The enraged brunette pounced on him, using the ether and all the techniques she knew.
Juno was watching the battle, rooting silently for her maid, even if she knew that Dinah stood no chance. She was doomed to three-day slavery. Juno was afraid to imagine what the damned monster would do to her. It was impossible to defeat him on equal terms! Juno wished she could lock him in shackles and use him in her needs. Why did heaven bestow the divine talent upon him?
Dinah created in her hand a small electric ball and launched it at Kyon. The feature of this technique was its lightning-fast acceleration and severe paralysis it could inflict on the victim.
But Kyon calmly fended it with a slap.
{He is not paralyzed? How come?!} – The futility and folly of the situation were depressing. It was like she was banging her head against the wall. Any of her tricks were suppressed at the planning stage. Initially, she was hoping to kill the servant with a couple of blows. However, the reality didn’t please her. Moreover, the damned jerk started smiling maliciously at her!
Thirty breaths later, Dinah realized she couldn’t kill the hateful enemy, no matter how hard she tried. What would happen when it was his turn to attack? Was she going to lose? Her heart started beating faster. The idea of becoming a slave to the dirty servant was getting scarier with each passing second.
{No… no no no! I don’t want to!} – The anxiety overshadowed her blind hatred, unbalanced her cold-blooded nature. In fact, Dinah wasn’t used to killing. She didn’t have to do it very often, only as testing tasks. Her victims were ordinary underdeveloped criminals. She was far from a seasoned killer. Above all, she was the lady’s maid and only then a practitioner, whose main task was to eliminate the target quickly.
Kyon could see every slightest emotion on Dinah’s beautiful face. He was getting closer and closer to his goal to crush her morally. When the fear in her eyes reached a certain point, Kyon decided to move on to the next stage of humiliation.
He exploded in speed and hit Dinah in the solar plexus, then he whispered affectionately:
«It looks like you are going to become my slave. What shall I do to you? Shall I torture you as you tortured me… Huh?»
«No way!» – Dinah screamed in a fury and continued to attack him unsuccessfully.
Juno felt really bad about her maid. She liked her a lot. It hurt her to see Dinah in pain and suffering. The vengeful demon was not going to leave her alone… Juno wondered why Dinah had challenged him? And what would he do with her? Was he going to beat her maid as he had been thrashing her? Probably, Dinah would destroy him when she was free from the shackles. The cunning maid would definitely come up with something. And what would happen next? Was she going to lose the source of her endless talent? All those questions gave Juno a headache.
Kyon knocked the daggers out of Dinah’s hands with a deft movement and slapped her in the face leaving a red mark of his hand.
The desperate killer did a backflip. She took a blade from her shoe and threw it at Kyon’s chin… However, he calmly created a thin layer of adamantium, and the blade shattered into tiny fragments.
After her brazen attempt, Kyon grabbed Dinah by that very leg and threw her to the floor like a sandbag.
«А-аа-а-h» – Dinah gasped painfully and tried to get up with a somersault.
But Kyon mercilessly pressed her thin snow-white neck to the ground and whispered in her ear:
«Damned bitch… You will squeal in pain for your misdeeds.»
«Die!» – Dinah cried, letting out a stream of electricity from her body, but it failed to find its target for some reason.
Dinah tried to free herself from his grasp, but instead of freedom, she got a heavy kick to her side. She bent and groaned in pain. It was getting terrifying. Was she going to lose to the miserable servant? Why was he so fast and skillful? How was it even possible?! What would he do with her?! If the lady had not given her orders, Dinah would regain her original development and eliminate her pet peeve at once.
Juno sadly watched the notorious scene: the monster raising his victim by the hair, giving her a haughty look.
«Honey, are you all right?» – Kyon asked, taunting her.
Dinah deftly removed a dagger from her pants to stick it in Kyon’s neck, but the weapon crashed into something greenish and crumbled.
Meanwhile, Kyon was slowly getting ready to strike her with his fist… He was taking his time…
*bam*
Kyon hit her in the nose with all his might. The warm scarlet blood splattered all over. Dinah let out a plaintive, long, drawn-out moan, her furious eyes blazing with hatred…
The once-arrogant maid experienced unusual feelings of a victim in the hands of the strong…
When Kyon raised his hand again, Dinah hid her face. Fear and despair showed in her eyes, she was shivering. That’s the reaction he wanted to see. It was so nice… It used to be was exactly the opposite when she had full power over him, torturing him. Now he had complete control over her. He could snap her neck, infuse the attribute of darkness into her eyes or ears, electrocute her until she wet herself, humiliate her as he saw fit. The stupid maid wasn’t in control of her own destiny anymore. She had only herself to blame.
Kyon threw her aside by the hair, walked over to Juno and whispered something in her ear. The lady announced:
«My servant has won. The fight is over.»
When she heard that, Dinah set back her initial development, got to her feet and approached Kyon like a swift shadow, intending to finish him off once and for all…
«I order you to do him no harm!» – Juno shouted sternly.
The brunette stopped the sharp blade right at the eye of her sworn enemy. Blood was dripping from her nose. He knew from the angry look on her face that she was desperately trying to smother the urge to tear him into small pieces.
«I beg you, my lady… Let me kill him!» – The maid exclaimed and bowed her head obediently in a gesture of pleading.
«No.» – The young lady replied firmly. – «My servant put his life on the line. It is a deserved victory. He could have easily killed you, but he didn’t do it out of respect… He knew that I would never forgive him if he dared to.»
«He has neither honor nor respect! Did you hear what he was whispering to me?! He is an ill-mannered barbarian who deserves only death! He ruins your majesty. My lady, please…»
«Ms. Dinah, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I’ve always treated you respectfully, but you hurt me more than once, and today you’ve been trying to kill me.» – Kyon said respectfully and bowed slightly.
Dinah was trembling with anger. She had to restrain herself from spitting out blood.
Juno continued:
«Dinah, I order you: don’t interact with anyone until six in the morning. Starting tomorrow, you must do as he tells you for three days. But I’m not one hundred percent sure in my servant, therefore…» – She turned to Kyon. – «I forbid you to shed a drop of the maid’s blood or you will be executed.»
For a second, Dinah’s face lit up with delight, but it instantly gave way to painful despair.
«But I am your personal maid! How can you let the servant own me for three days?!» – She exclaimed.
«I’ve heard enough. Admit your defeat and do your duty as befits your position. I’m sure my servant won’t take liberties with you. You’re free to go.» – Juno said calmly.
Dinah looked into her lady’s eyes with a silent plea and then at Kyon with icy disdain. She quickly walked off.
Juno peered into her formation (to see if anyone was watching them) and blurted out with hatred:
«You are a monster! If my maid suffers at your hands, I…»
«If you shut up, I will clean your key of the wind element by 10%. For your diligence.» – Kyon said. He was really in a good mood.
Juno pursed her charming lips.
Kyon smiled and put his finger at her plexus.
The familiar tingling feeling at the place he touched meant that he had kept his word. All her fury had immediately disappeared. She had become stronger and more talented! A joyful smile lit up Juno’s pretty face.
«Your master wants a foot massage from the useless bedwetter.»
Juno blushed and stamped her foot. «It’s your fault that I wet myself… I’m not like that!» – She protested.
«I saw your relieved face when you did your dirty business. You’ve been meaning to do it for a long time, haven’t you?» – gloated Kyon.
«Аrrr!» – Juno growled, her fists clenched. – «I will give you a massage just don’t mention it any more! And get washed. It’s been days you…» – She cleared her throat when she saw his stern look. – «…smell so good.»
«Alright then, I won’t get washed. I’m sure you will get used to it soon.»
«That’s not what I wanted to say…»
«I don’t want to hear anything.» – Kyon said and went to the door.
Today he was in a great mood. He had mastered the advanced grade of the earth element; he had finished creating the world’s best movement technique; he had defeated Dinah and “officially” taken her into slavery; he was going to get a gentle massage from the naive bedwetter.
Two issues upset him. He had failed to master or improve a single fighting technique, and his unique body kept silent. Well, he needed to figure it out in the future and find a way to develop it.
Tomorrow’s party was going to be perfect. He would undoubtedly prove himself and begin a successful journey up the ranks in the Stone family. And then the sky would be the limit for him. He could go to the best schools in the kingdom, take part in the great tournaments, and much more. Only high-status people were taken seriously in this world. Only they could move forward.
