The trio reached the dilapidated house and looking around with intense disgust."this cripple couldn't even get a proper house from the family,he is really worthles" chucked Argon.
"It's really shame that he was born to family head and the lady,both of them are absolutel powerhouses yet one rotten seed was born"Noah
"By the way what's this cripples name ,i haven't heard anyone calling him any name"asked Cyril with a hint of amusement
"It is said that Family head was so angry with him that not only he didn't give any name to him ,he also forbid him from carrying our family name,lady was also quite disappointed that she never ever visited him after his birth much less naming him."said Argon
"I heard that it's heads younger sister
Zelene Chronos that given him the name,though I am not sure what that is"shrugged Noah
As they reached their destination they could hear sound of swinging of sword.
There they saw a boy of younger age than them swinging a wooden sword like his life dependant on it .
When they observe closer they could see a faint pattern to those unique movements like a snake coiling around it's prey and his predatory gaze made this scene even more chilling.Even though there is little to no strength to those strikes of his they became captivated by the sight of it.
But they quickly come out from their stupor as Noah laughed "ha ha ha,the direct lineage of Chronos practicing sword instead Of using spatial arts ,truly unbelievable*as expected of the cripple of Chronos "his laughter echoed as the boy practicing sword stopped what he is doing and looked straight into the eyes of trio.When they look into those eyes they got chill gone down their spine.Its not a gaze of child who is barely seven years of old it's the gaze of loneliness,determination and defiance.
Those eyes truly angered Cyrus and as this is the same eyes that he got from that girl,but instead of defiance that gaze was full of pride and disgust.
'how dare he look me into eyes like that' anger boiled inside Cyrus as he stepped forward like a cheetah and vanished before coming in front of the boy with a menacing look.What he expecting was a look of fear but what he got was that same plane eyes without hint of fear .This was even more baffling as he know the boy infront of him was a weakling and he is a 3 star himself.A feat which is nothing short of extraordinary
Power gap between each gap is enormous and the boy infront of him was not in the star realm too.
Anger once again boiled inside him as he punched straight into his stomach without giving him any time to dodge.The boy tried to parry it with his sword but the punch is so intense that he cannot stop it as he crashed into his dilapidated house with a loud thud.
Cyrus stood there like a deity giving verdict to some lowborne as his eyes piercing into the house.
Dust settled and a figure emerged from the broken house with body full of blood and a round wound could be seen on his stomach as it is oozing blood aggressively.
Yet what surprised him one more time was that gaze ,even though his body is in much worse situation their isn't any fear or panick .
Still clutching on that wooden sword eyeing as he is looking for a prey.
But what happened next surprised Cyril and other two as he charged straight to Cyril like a predator ,his movements like a coiling snake striked Cyril again and again .Cyril just stood their parrying his strikes like a adult playing with a child.
One again Cyril vanished and reappeared behind him and give him another blow to his jaw as he sent flying once again.
When they thought the farce is over ,the boy stood up again and charged forward,but despite his efforts his body couldn't keep up with mind as his steps faltered.
What stood before the trio was a bloody mess of a boy.Despite that their wasn't any ounce of satisfaction in their eyes.They looked solemn as they gazed at the boy.
Despite the brutal beating he hadn't even screamed once as if these pains aren't anything new.
The boy was kneeling on the ground with bloody wounds all over his body and surrounded by the trio ,but still clinging on to the broken sword.A silence followed as the trio looked deeply at the boy.
Without waiting for a reply Noah suddenly grabbed his hand holding the sword and crushed it as a muffled groan escaped the boys mouth.That made him excited as he gone to the other hand and done the same thing which made the boy groan in pain again.Looking at as he found a new toy he turned to Cyrus and said"See? that's how you do" as he chuckled as he walk towards Argon who appears to be grinning from the very beginning.
"this bastard is sure a tough nut to crack"added Argon
"Atleast we found a new toy Argon" chuckled Noah as he turned to Cyrus who stood absent minded
"What happened to you"asked Noah
"they are so similar"muttered Cyrus not minding Noahs question as he turned to leave after giving one last look to the boy followed by Noah and Argon
The boy was still on the ground groaning and rolling on the ground.Pain wasn't something new to the boy as these kinds of people often come and beat him . Despite his best efforts to fight back he knows internally that he is weak .He hated this feeling.But their isn't anything he could do as he couldn't get into star realm due to his lack of talent
Some time passed as the wounds started to heal due to his Chronos bloodline.He got up and went to the demolished house trying to fix it somehow.What he failed to notice is a shadow that materialised where he stood and looking at his direction with a thougtful expression.
