TOFD 32

Lucky 32

As the gust of wind brushed around the place, the pressure was coming from Devon. He was releasing high concentrated steam while he was staring at Calix. He was focusing his energy as his skin slowly turned red.

He didn't want to underestimate Calix. He is the son of Andreas Romoel, and there is a chance that he inherited his Term Attribute.

'Sir Andreas can turn into steel and has the incredible strength to push back a tiger-class Aberrant using his one arm. This young man may have inherited his strength or metal Attribute. Perhaps that's the reason why he easily beat the guy earlier. That man with tattoos is strong even though he's not a Vindicator, this means that Calix beat him through his strength. Yes, I'm right!!'

He was fucking wrong, so damn wrong. Calix didn't have any strength base Attributes. He defeated the man using his pure own natural strength. Maybe his Luck helped him but it was true that he didn't defeat the tattooed man using strength base Attribute. However, Devon didn't know any of it and strongly believe that Calix was a strength base.

Devon roared and released massive steam that shook the ground. Even Calix almost fell because of the tremor. He lowered his body just to take balance. Calix gulped, does he have the power to face a fully offensive type Vindicator like Devon? Nah, Calix didn't have that power. All he has was Luck and it was out of his control.

'It will be good if I can control that power and use it to win… I swear this power is not Lucky at all."

He gritted his teeth and remain standing as he watched how Devon released another surge of steam. Calix closed his eyes as the place slowly became hot, he felt like he was in a hot spring, and the hot water sprinkled on his face.

"My power is Steam Term Attribute. My body releases steam-like energy and create shock waves when I attack."

Devon honestly said his ability. He didn't want to be called sly. Yes, he worked for money but he still had his dignity. He was paid to defeat Calix and he would do it with pride. He won't do anything dirty and fight him head-to-head.

"You are the son of the Steel Legion…. Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!!"

Devin said as he raised his arm like a certain tiger from a certain kung-fu animated movie.

"Ah, no not at all."

Calix replied as he covered his face, the heat was getting intense and it was hard to breathe nor see.

"Hm? So you don't find me a worthy opponent? Then I will prove it to you."

He moved his foot and it created a steam-like explosion and cracked the ground. With just a step, he fucking crack the ground.

"Get ready, I will show you what I'm made of!!"

Devon made a war cry and rushed towards him. The ground started cracking as he ran. Calix didn't have anything to do except raised his arms. He braved his heart and decided to face him with no fear. His eyes looked at the steaming hot guy as he rushed.

Devon gathered the energy in his arm and…

"Aaahhhhhh Take this!!!"

BANG!!

THE WHOLE GROUND FUCKING TREMBLED AND A HUMAN-SIZE HOLE APPEARED RIGHT BENEATH DEVON'S. A sinkhole has opened because of Devon releasing powerful steam energy.

"Huh?"

Devon realized that he didn't have any foothold anymore. He looked down and learned that a hole was under him. He was descending down into the Earth!

"What the fuuuucccckkkkkk!!!!"

Devon screamed as he fell, his silhouette was slowly disappearing until he was completely gone.

"Eh?"

Calix who was left alone had a dumbfounded face. He couldn't understand what happened. His enemy was devoured by the ground and he was left alone.

Calix took a step and looked down the sinkhole. He couldn't see the end, it was all darkness. He gulped as he looked at his hands.

"Is this because of my power? Am I lucky because a sinkhole appeared out of nowhere and defeat my enemy?"

He didn't know what to answer. His power was so vague and unique that he was starting to get goosebumps thinking. His Luck Term Attribute was a monster on its own way. It just defeated a strong Vindicator without getting hurt. He didn't even receive any damage except for the scalding sensation of his skin.

"Wat da fak?"

He said. Then he looked around because he heard movements coming.

Calix realized that the other guy returned. They were stupefied as they saw a hole in the ground and cracks all around. They couldn't see Devon anywhere... which means that this young guy beat a veteran Vindicator and sunk him deep in the ground! The hole in the ground was the evidence.

They couldn't believe it! They were shaking and couldn't assess the situation clearly.

"W- We are sorry!!!"

They all kneeled to the ground and slammed their heads simultaneously. They were afraid as their bodies trembled frightened that Calix might kill them.

They thought this job was going to be easy, the client said that Calix was weak!

'Weak my ass!!! He just shove a Vindicator inside the ground!'

Except for Devon, all of them were normal people that didn't have Term Attribute. They were commanded to beat Calix and take him to Young Master Chen. The price was good but it was not enough for them to stake their lives.

'We were scammed!! The money is not even enough to hold our funeral!!'

They cried.

Calix who saw their reactions scratched his head. It seemed like he caused another misunderstanding. Still, he decided not to clear that misunderstanding and used it to his advantage instead.

He stood tall and walked towards them. Then, he put his foot on the head of one of them, they trembled as he did it.

"Y'all, who sent you."

"Hhiii!"

He grinned like a devil.
