My King System

Chapter 237 - Fantasies Aren’t Real

"Hey Yuki... do you know these guys or what?" Arthur asked as he turned towards Yuki with a confused tone while returning to his child-like attitude.

However, before Yuki could give Arthur a proper answer, the woman from the group quickly leapt in the air before preparing to kick Arthur in the head.

"I guess she's going to start thinking without giving a signal," the man who had tried to reason with the woman and the first man of the group said with a sigh. That man was also the tallest one from the 5 people who had come to stop Yuki from killing the old man. 

Those 5 people were all part of the organization which had tried to imprison Yuki forever. That being the global government.

"Huh? Do you not know who I am?" Arthur asked whole nonchalantly, turning back around to face the woman from the group of 5 which was planning to attack him.

Seeing Arthur's eyes directly following her movements, the woman instantly knew that Arthur was no ordinary man as he was analyzing all of her movements like it was second nature for him. It was like it was integrated into his muscle memory.

"Oh no," the woman finally said before Arthur clenched his fist and punched her straight to a wall of the GNE building which they were all inside. Right before Arthur's punch landed though, the woman put up both of her forearms so that the damage she could take would be decreased. Unfortunately for her, that wasn't the case as she madly even fractured her bones.

After getting knocked to a wall, the woman quickly got on her feet as if she was a robot that was made for fighting. Seeing as she was still ready to continue her fight, everyone else from the group of 5 which had come to stop Yuki moved away from her as they wanted to give her the space she needed to go all out.

The woman cracked her neck as she got closer to Arthur without even moving her hands. Instead she just simply moved her head side to side which worked as a cracking sound could be heard in the silent room.

After cracking her neck, the woman activated her ability as she knew she would need it to defeat someone who was as powerful as Arthur since he caused so much damage to her without even trying. To add insult to injury, his attack was a counter attack and not even a proper attack.

"Activate ability: Feather Feet"

After activating her ability, the women's movements began to get faster as her feet became less and less visible. 

It was like her legs were only visible for barely a moment like they were moving at a speed which the naked eye couldn't even imagine perceiving.

"How odd. So it's a speeding up type of ability? That's not very useful and from the looks of it, it only seems to affect the feet. Like I thought, this will be an easy match for me-" Arthur began to speak before the woman disappeared from his line of vision. Before he knew it, Arthur was kicked at the force of a thousand trucks if they had hit a regular human being.

Arthur was instantly sent flying far off in the distance as he slammed into a wall before getting out of it only to cough for a couple moments while catching his breath. 

"What the hell was that?" Arthur questioned what had just happened to him as he thought that a single attack would have been enough to finish off the woman which had tried to attack him first but from what had just happened, he would need to scratch that idea and come up with a proper plan of action to deal with the woman as she was quite troublesome.

When Arthur looked forward, he could see that everyone from the attack force which was with Yuki looked just as surprised as him since Arthur was their second best fighter. Due to that fact, it made absolutely no sense as to how he was able to get swept off his feet and sent flying with ease.

"Damn, I'm starting to look exactly like Batol now. If this keeps up, I'll have nothing to annoy Batol about and prove to Yuki that I have the better judgment. I have to finish this quickly," said Arthur while gritting his teeth from getting annoyed at the fact that he was losing.

"I need to turn the tables quickly," Arthur told himself as he began to open his inventory while looking for something which might have been useful for him. 

However, just as Arthur's inventory opened, something strange occurred, that being that the woman looked very angry as he quickly flew towards Arthur and kicked him in the face, I turned sending him down to the ground with his face landing face first into the stone floor.

"What the hell was that for? Don't you have even the slightest bit of manners when it comes to battle etiquette? How rude do you have to be to attack someone who's clearly willing to fight you while they are at their strongest?" Arthur asked with a confused yet angry face.

"Oh, I get it now. So that's what happening," Arthur said to himself as he might have just figured out the reasoning as to why the previous strongest person in the world just got slammed into a wall with the force of a truck by a single random woman which came out of nowhere.

"Battle etiquette?! There is no such thing as that as if there were, I would have learned about it! I have taken multiple lessons on every single type of etiquette that must be followed in the world. I can guarantee you that there is no such thing as battle etiquette. In fact if battle etiquette were to exist in this world, I would have been the one to invent it. That's how polite I am. However, according to you, you think that there is something that exists by the name of battle etiquette. Hence my frustration since a dirty pig such as yourself would have no idea the first thing about manners let alone something which I, the great Stephanie, don't know about. To state something so preposterous should be considered a sin on its own," Stephanie who was the woman which was apart of the group which had come to bring a stop to Yuki's plan to a stop began to ramble on and on about etiquette all while Arthur's plan was a success as he had managed to distract her. In doing so, Arthur was able to take out several potions from his inventory and drink all except one of them while Stephanie was talking.

Just as Stephanie stopped speaking, she noticed that Arthur was trying to consume a potion which she quickly came in and stopped him.

"What are you doing?! Stop at once!" Stephanie yelled out while running towards Arthur as fast as possible but she just wasn't fast enough as the moment she had arrived, Arthur had already finished the last potion in his hand which he just dropped on the ground.

...

"Uh- Um-" Stephanie began to stutter in fear as worry began to take over. Even though she had pretended not to recognize Arthur, she knew exactly who he was. The question was never who knew about Arthur but instead who didn't know about Arthur. Him being the strongest person in the world along with the person with the greatest chance of becoming the first level 100 player for a while, it was nearly impossible not to know who Arthur was, no matter where or when he was seen.

"What happened Stephanie? O great one, will you have the mercy to forgive me for my sins," Arthur said as he mocked her. It was clear that Stephanie was overrun with fear as she tried to back away from Arthur. However every step she took back, Arthur took a step forward while continuing to scare her more and more with every passing second.

For Stephanie, it was like she was trapped in a nightmare in which she would have nearly all her physical powers taken away and she would be left to fight a large scary monster with the physical powers of a child. That was how bad it was for her just to come near Arthur.

As for everyone else from her group, they simply stood back as they knew that it was over for her. 

"H-Help me," Stephanie pleaded as a single year began to flow out of her left eye as she began to shiver in fear. All while Arthur stared at her while grinning in an evil way which made him out to be the villain in the situation he was in.

"I'll save you!" a random man in a wrinkled suit said as he leaped in the air in hopes of kicking Arthur's face. From the way he looked, it seemed that he was the average GNE employee but he was the only one to step up to save Stephanie.

Although it would have been nice for the hero to win. Real life is much different from fantasy.
