Chapter 217 - The Reinforcements
"Ohoho!"
"What do we have here?"
Burge, Emon, Damian as well as Dexter heard the strange laugh. They were forced to stop on their tracks as they traced back the source of the voice.
Above a huge tree, two men could be seen leaning on each other's back. One was touching his forehead elegantly while one was trying to act cute by touching his chin.
They wore strange costumes that could only be seen in movies and animes. Colorful blazers paired with outsized pants.
Sheng*
The one on the right moved his body and changed his posture whilst moving 'elegantly'.
"It is I, Mario!"
Sheng*
The other one was the one who moved this time and changed his posture.
"And it is I, Dario!"
After saying that line, the two began to move in perfect sync. Four arms intertwined each other as they paused for a second before saying,
"And We Are... The Reinforcements!"
Kaching*
Dario and Mario closed their eyes tightly as if blinded by the pose they just made.
As they finished their introduction the four people on the ground had mixed emotions on their faces. Some were surprised, while the others expressed bewilderment and unease.
"They're finally here! Tsk!" Emon grinned from ear to ear as he cringed on the lines spouted by the two.
'I get it now. So this is what was written on that piece of cloth. Shit! So that was the reason why Emon suddenly wanted to fight, he just wanted to delay these muscles' heads while the twin was on the way here!'
The new arrivals were also members of the Blue Wave Faction. They were part of those 9 people that had reached Level Two* and become high table members.
They are the twin, Mario, and Dario. Mario was wearing a dark green blazer and brown outsized pants while Dario was wearing a dark red blazer and brown outsized pants.
In terms of strength, Mario was second only to Dotina which is second only to the Blue Wave Faction's leader. Dario on the other hand was part of the bottom in terms of strength.
Nevertheless, the two's feelings towards each other never changed. They were still close brothers who liked to watch anime together.
'Let's see what they're gonna do now that they are outnumbered!' Dexter thought in glee. However, his body remained unmoving and remained kissing on the ground.
Burge's eyes twitched as he didn't expect that a sudden reinforcement would come. What's worse is that it was not for them, and instead, for the enemies.
Witwiw*
A whistle was released on Burge's mouth as he stared at the confused Damian.
Damian heard the whistle and immediately understood what it implies.
Swoosh!
The sword in his hands traveled down swiftly without any form of resistance towards Dexter's wide-open chest.
Dexter's eyes bulged in surprise as he tried to move his body instinctively but it was already too late. The sword was now only a foot away from his chest.
Boom!
As he wallowed in despair, he suddenly saw a rusted ball roughly the size of a head hitting Damian's huge arms.
The impact caused Damian's arm to sway. The sword that was traveling towards Dexter's chest changed its trajectory and was now traveling towards his…
Throat?
'Fuck!'
It was the last words that Dexter managed to think of before the toad's poison paralysis effect wore off. He now felt pain coursing through his body as the sword pierced the side of his throat.
The paralysis effect had just worn off and now, here he is again, paralyzed by the toad's poison.
The rusted ball then started to descend and its trajectory seems to be on a particular spot.
Dexter's most precious member!
However, when the ball was already an inch away from that spot, it suddenly stopped for a second before moving swiftly back to where it belonged.
Damian retracted his sword from Dexter's throat immediately before jumping back swiftly to retreat.
The arm that was hit by that rusted ball has become numb. By that alone, one could tell how powerful that strike was. It was already commendable that Damian was still able to pierce Dexter's throat after being hit by that rusted ball.
He clenched his arm as he retreated away from Dexter's body. Whilst doing so, he stared at the person who threw that rusted ball.
It was Mario!
"Ho. Ho. Ho. Indeed, it was I Mario who interrupted you. I, Mario, holder of The Round World, swore to Boss-chan that I would reinforce Dexter-kun and Emon-kun with all my abilities." Mario said while raising the rusted and enlarged shot put ball up to his chin as if admiring its rusted' beauty.
The shot put ball was tied to his wrist, enabling him to throw and claim it at will.
"Ho. Ho. Ho. And indeed, it is I, Dario, holder of The Flat World, swore to my one and only brotha, that I would also reinforce Emon-kun and Dexter-kun with all my abilities."
Dario said as he took a thick 'Discuss' from his back. He put it vertically on his chest as he looks at it intensely as if a 'God' overlooking the world.
It also has a tie attached to it so if he threw it, he would still be able to claim it easily.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Mario and Dario jumped at the same time landing on the ground softly.
Slowly, the two started to walk. Mario towards Damian and Dario towards Emon and Burge.
After a few steps, the two suddenly stopped and made a pose.
Kaching*
'Amazing!'
The two thought in unison as they started to walk towards their destination again.
After a few steps, the two suddenly stop again as they stared at their respective targets.
"Hooo! You're approaching me?"
They then said in unison as they slowly walked while maintaining eye contact with Damian and Burge.
"Hooo! So you are indeed approaching me!"
"Hoo! Then you must want to die so badly right?"
At that instant, the two suddenly accelerated without warning.
With both the Discuss and Shot Put ball as their weapon, the two were very confident in their own abilities.
