Unstoppable Antihero
Chapter 10: The Antihero

Atlas blinked for a moment while exhaling a short breath. “I'm not as weak as you think.” One step forward, so quickly Atlas launched a crushing kick into the belly of the long-haired girl.

“Ugh!” The naked girl took off the sword in hand, fell down, losing consciousness.

Turning his gaze immediately in the other direction, Atlas saw Rinius create two large balls of wind in both hands. The man smiled widely, not caring even for his dead followers.

“I'll kill you with this, Scammer!” exciting Rinius. “God Boreas, give me your power! I will be the intermediary for you to exterminate this impostor!”

Atlas did not express anything, but grabbed the naked girl's hand with his left hand. “Maybe I'm a fraud, or maybe you're a real con. I don't understand and I don't want to understand. But, one thing I know for sure is that I can't be a kindhearted hero.”

“That's your last words?!” Rinius took one step back, preparing to throw two giant balls of wind in both hands.

Ignoring Rinius' speech, Atlas muttered softly, “Libra Scales: Equivalent Exchange!”

When the bell rang, the room became quiet. All the torches had been extinguished, but the room still looked calm from the light emanating out of Atlas' left hand. The young man stood quietly while staring blankly ahead, as the light from his left hand faded away.

“Play to buy lives. That's what I mean by an equivalent exchange, Rinius,” muttered, seeing Rinius die without the slightest injury. The ball of wind in both hands had disappeared when the man's life was taken by Atlas. Not only that, the naked girl had disappeared without the rest of the libra scales as payment.

As time went on, the blue light on Atlas' left hand completely disappeared. Simultaneously, the blue-colored manual scales on the young man's right hand were gone. Now the room became dark and quiet, like a calm atmosphere after the party ended.

...***...

The destruction of the Boreas God Sect was reported by Kaysen on Antha. Thanks to the incident, Kaysen and Atlas are now in the room together with Antha.

“Haah ..” Antha let out a long breath behind the table. For a moment, the woman glanced at Atlas and Kaysen who were now sitting on a chair across the table. “I actually have many questions for you, but first I must appreciate and thank you for destroying the sect.”

“It was our duty as Nomos, right?” answer Atlas, briefly.

“Nomos' job is to fight on the battlefield, not overcome something like this. Although it is also not wrong anyway, because basically the Heracles are responsible.”

Atlas and Kaysen did not think too much of Antha's words, but just kept quiet as if they were thinking about something. However, Antha did not care much about it. Instead, the woman seemed to be surprised that Atlas and Kaysen were willing to investigate and could even catch the members of the Boreas God Sect.

“I am grateful to you, but ...” Antha deliberately set her sights on Atlas. “I wonder how could the sect leader die without the slightest injury on his body.”

Here it is, a question that Atlas did not want to hear. It was true that he could have been indifferent and told the truth, but somehow he realized that his actions were not like a hero capturing an enemy alive.

Atlas glanced at Kaysen for a moment, asking for help without saying anything. Now he is not ready to answer Antha's questions, so he has to rely on Kaysen.

Kaysen thought for a moment, answering, “Mm .. isn't that a good thing?”

“Hal well?” Antha turned her eyes towards Kaysen.

Before Antha said the next sentence, suddenly the entrance was knocked. The woman immediately turned her eyes to the door, then said, “Come in.”

Atlas and Kaysen turned their eyes to the entrance. There was a short man with short hair. Her clothes looked neat, perfectly matched with her short body.

“Sorry to interrupt,” said the man, quietly.

“Ah, that's no problem,” replied Antha, calm down. “We are waiting for you.”

“Incrove, she is Zelos from Erato Stix.” Antha looked so calm.

The short man approached Atlas and Kaysen with a smile. “So you guys are Atlas Hiromasa and Kaysen Lex?”

“Iya .., it's us,” Kaysen replied as Atlas was unwilling to say anything.

“It's nice to meet you guys. My name is Nicon Orfeo, Zelos of Erato Stix. I came here specifically to thank you directly to the two of you for capturing the Boreas God Sect which has been making residents unsettled.”

“No problem.” This time Atlas took the initiative to answer. “It's our obligation also as good citizens to maintain the serenity.”

Nicon glanced at Antha for a moment, then he immediately said again before Antha said anything, “I heard you guys were heading to Erato Stix back then. Would you like to go there with me?”

“Really?” Kaysen looked so excited that he almost jumped out of the chair. “It would be very helpful! We will accept it with pleasure!”

“I'm glad to be able to help.”

“Omong-by the way, when will we leave?”

“Taste this afternoon.”

“Alright! We agree!”

“You are very excited.”

...***...

Atlas and Kaysen had left the room, so there was only Nicon and Antha in here. Nicon was unhesitatingly sitting on the chair where Atlas was sitting earlier with a faint smile. In front of this man looks like Antha is exhaling a long breath.

“You deliberately didn't give me any space to talk, did you, earlier, Nicon?” ask Antha without further ado.

“I don't understand what you're talking about.” Despite knowing he could not dodge, Nicon still said the sentence without hesitation.

Neither did Antha let Nicon just walk away. “You don't have to pretend to be stupid. I already know from the way you speak.”

“Hahaha. I can't win against you.” Nicon laughed softly. “I did. It was also for the good of our relationship with them, right?”

“Looks like I can't blame you.”

“Then, do you have any special expectations on them or anything like that, Antha? I think you understand them better.”

“Nothing,” Antha denies while shaking her head. “Although I did not expect that they actually managed to capture the Boreas God Sect just by themselves. I mean, the Heracles we once sent no one back, even though there was a Nomos with them.”

“That means they do have great potential.” Nicon was silent for a moment. “Perhaps those who will bring great winds to the Air Kingdom.”

“Reality may not be as beautiful as that.”
