( A few days ago )
" So you in or not? " Max asked Sebastian, who was dressed in his papal robes and looked like he was carrying 100 concealed weapons under those loose drapes.
" Am I in or not? Coward, you have the audacity to ask me? Am I in or not? " Sebastian said as he tore apart his papal robes to reveal all the different weapons strapped to his chest.
He had at least 12 small daggers, two layers of armour and a dozen defensive artefacts strapped across his body, as Max chuckled to see just how overly cautious his friend was.
" I might have taken up the church, but don't mistake me for no saint — " Sebastian said as he pointed at Max with a fiery expression in his eyes.
" My brother, I knew you wouldn't back out of this fight " Max said as he shook Sebastian's pointed out finger with his thumb and index finger.
" 1000 pieces Max! I'm gonna butcher Angakok's body into 1000 small pieces and I'm going to pour them into preserving chemicals and hang them as lanterns within the church.
From this year, till the end of time, people will visit in thousands to pay respect to master Kremeth the great and noble warrior and spit upon Angakok the shaman bastard " Sebastian said with conviction as he spat a mouthful on Max's desk beside him just to prove a point.
Shifting a little bit away from the spot where Sebastian just spat, Max rolled his eyes at his friend's lack of manners and said " Well, two is good but for this mission we shall need three….. "
Sebastian raised an eyebrow, for himself and Max this was a personal mission that was trodden with extreme danger….. he couldn't understand why Max would invite someone else on it?
" Who? " Sebastian asked curiously as he secretly hoped that it would be Max's brother who could join them, because with him around the mission would be as easy as a breeze.
" We will take Sir Jhonny with us " Max said, as Sebastian slapped his head in delight.
" No way….. " Sebastian said as he started to chuckle non-stop.
The name of the ' Ball-crusher ' was famous throughout the universe, however, a particular incident in recent years made it all the more funny.
During a seven galaxy bank auction, apparently archangel Sariel and Neatwit had decided on a side-bet on whether or not sir Jhonny could manage to land a hit on Sariel getting through his ' Impregnable Defenses '.
On the line was an artefact worth a billion gold coins and since both sides wanted it, the bet was that the losing party would back off from the bidding.
The stakes were as tense as they could be within the small VIP+ auction room, since the fight area was small and public it was an unsaid understanding between Jhonny and Sariel to not destroy their surroundings.
As Jhonny lunged, Sariel stepped back as he usually did to throw his opponent off his game, however, shockingly he stepped on a small lead pencil and slipped.
Apparently, Jhonny was using the pencil to throw as darts as he was bored with the auction, however, this particular piece was the one he tossed aside in the room without a care as it sat randomly on the floor.
In an ideal world, such a situation could never occur. But Jhonny's plot armour was so thick that the epitome of good-luck made it so that Sariel slipped momentarily by stepping on the pencil and as a result his balls were groped within Jhonny's hands.
That day, the scream let out by Sariel was so loud that even the sound insulators within the VIP+ room could not contain the noise fully as the archangel experienced firsthand the sorrows of being a man.
Let alone bidding for that item, Sariel's impenetrable defence was penetrated so badly that he couldn't get up for the rest of the auction and had to spend a significant chunk of it rolling on the floor in pain.
Although Jhonny was infamous before this incident, his infamy rose astronomically after it as men began feeling a tingling sensation in their balls just by hearing his name.
As a proof of his infamy it was rumoured that when the Elites met the Angels a few years after this incident in a bilateral meeting, the first thing that Raphael and Sariel did instinctively when they saw Jhonny was to cover their groins.
Having such a man on their team would undoubtedly improve their odds of success as Max had no idea how much Angakok had improved in the past few years with the time-stone in his possession.
If Angakok had regained his former glory as a tier8 monarch, the fight would be impossible and the group would have to bail, however, as long as he was still in a weakened tier7 state, Max was confident in taking him down and absorbing his soul.
" I agree, having sir Jhonny would help us big-time, however, it won't change the fact that the bastard can freeze time itself!
Unless we can deal with his time-freeze attack, it won't matter if there are three of us or three hundred.
I'm assuming you have found a solution to that issue if you are proposing a fight?" Sebastian said as he reminded Max of Angakok's newfound menacing ability as Max gave Sebastian a confident smile to reassure him that he hadn't forgotten.
" Ofcourse, that's the only problem I've been working on solving for the last two years. Why do you think I've decided to attack Angakok only now even though I've been at Max level for the last 2 years? " Max said as he patted Sebastian on his chest.
" It's time the bastard pays for his crimes Sebastian, it's about damn time he pays for killing master " Max said emotionally as his eyes began glowing red.
" Absolutely, may the cowardice be with you my friend " Sebastian replied as his own eyes started to sparkle with thunder.
" and with you—- amen "
