Chapter 138: This Is A Request You Can't Refuse

.......

Then he used an ability he acquired after absorbing Youpi, the ability to fire explosive blasts of aura from his arm.

A single one carries enough power to severely damage a large rock formation, an attack of such strength is making its way towards Yasuo who seems to be taking his taking to go through the portal, something Meruem noticed allowing him to come to the conclusion Yasuo wants him to...

Yasuo simply disappeared evading the destructive blast of aura with the portal disappearing as well allowing the blast to head to another target far in the front.

Another building in the distance putting it to rubbles though something that could easily be noticed is the fact this blast is nowhere as destructive as the one he used previously.

His goal isn't to kill Yasuo after all and since he doesn't really know the human's level of power, he decided to fire a blast that's not that weak nor is it that strong but fast enough to hit almost anyone except someone with a teleportation ability like him and his recovered memory didn't tell him much about the person.

"Can you tell me? Since I'm dead anyway, you shouldn't have any problem just letting me know of her location... Also, what do you want? You seem to want me to do something and you should realize such tricks won't work on me so talk..."

Throughout the conversation, the King's expression never changed only his expression became calmer after hearing Komugi's name recalling his memories.

And since he already noticed the fact he's dying, his interest in the world basically disappeared as all that was left in his mind is that shining beacon within the dark tunnel, he just wants to meet her one last time...

He also noticed Yasuo's strange behavior that's too obvious to miss, the human could've left at any moment simply teleporting away yet he took his time like he's waiting for something.

But the King is also ready, if the human before him didn't answer, if the human didn't let him know Komugi's location, or if he has even a hint of suspicion that Komugi is hurt then he'll have to use force or if she's dead...

Yasuo who has appeared just a bit away from his previous location smiled before saying something strange.

"Actually, what I want you to do is quite simple. I want you to consume them just like they said and I also want you to consume several of these..."

He explained while bringing what looks like a silver metallic syringe made specifically for the King not long before.

Made from the same indestructible material he named Yasium when he was creating his lab, once he showed the string he directly threw it back into the portal which has disappeared after.

The calm quiet air around them started to slowly change as Meruem simply looked at the human who seems to be looking down on him.

The audacity to treat him like a mere toy annoyed even him, even when he has no interest in fighting at all especially considering he knows more about him than he should.

So he spoke in the same calm manner without a change in his expression as the dark purple aura of the king unleashed itself to everything around affecting the surroundings bringing chills to even Pouf and Youpi.

"Not being interested in fighting doesn't mean I won't fight you nor does it mean I will comply with such demands."

The King narrowed his eyes as his royal killing intent was unleashed with that hidden vile malicious Ren being released as well threatening to consume the whole royal palace affecting everything around him yet his expression remained forever unchanging as he looked down on Yasuo like a god looking down on the puny humans and other lowly creatures beneath his feet.

His enormous Aura started sipping into the cracks within space trying to destroy all that's around him and only then did he state.

"Me not being interested in fighting doesn't mean you can disrespect me or look down on me. I hold no good feelings towards you so choose your words carefully and even though I fought the other human to a draw, that was the previous me so how strong you are matters not to me, just tell me where she is and you won't have a problem with me... This isn't a request, this is an order."

Hearing that, Pouf couldn't help but grit his teeth because that means the human can walk away alive while he's destined to die after all the human did, he wants him dead, miserably so.

And even if he didn't get to see the human's last moments, it doesn't matter as long as he knows he will be dead, not able to enjoy what could've been a happy life.

his hatred that has spurted from something small, spurted from his ego as a royal guard being hurt but his King doesn't seem to have an interest in doing so.

In fact, he doesn't seem to be interested in anything aside from Komugi but if the human refused to answer his question then he will get himself killed and that's something Pouf is anticipating.

The small smile never left Yasuo's face, the malicious Ren intent didn't faze him even one bit.

He knows the main meal and dessert is more than enough to achieve what he wants, to achieve perfection but that's not just what he wants now, is it?

No, he wants more, his greed set its eyes on what's beyond perfection, and he prepared too much just to achieve that, the liquid within the syringe is proof of that.

A combination of his research about genetics and the mysterious inscriptions lead to something fascinating never seen before and is unlikely to ever be seen again.

His research over the mysterious inscriptions that became mysterious no more has reached a whole new level, his research never stopped.

He started studying Greed Island thoroughly and expanding on what he found and the results were exactly what he expected, boundless is the word he could describe the description in, their potential is infinite in the right hands.

The inscriptions he became able to make are simply astonishing and he found a way to combine that with his research over genetics.

A simple yet complex way only he's capable of though he was only able to produce what he can call a perfect result previously when he was using the debt collector ability.

The kind of power he had allowed him to perform miracles as not only was he creating his lab at that moment.

He was also researching the most important thing and the result was the silver liquid and he has been looking forward to what Meruem consuming it will result in with his miraculous innate ability and specialist ability.

The result was certainly fascinating in Yasuo's eyes, a phenomenal result that brought a happy smile on his face, the exact result he wanted because he didn't want to risk the deadly poison within Meruem to be defeated.

The King has to die by the end of the day, the result of the liquid being injected will just stall the process for a few more hours.

The human that truly stands atop of the known world, a monstrous human that was born within them wasn't someone who could be intimidated nor did the King's malicious intent have any effect on him as he just uttered his next words calmly.

"You also seem to misunderstand something. The human you fought, Netero, me and him aren't on the same level so even though I can clearly see you became stronger, I still see an extremely high chance of winning against you so what I request wasn't really a request, well, its a request you have no choice but to accept if you want to see the girl."

Yasuo of course knows such words will only hurt the King's ego and will get him nowhere.

He is the King after all and a strong one at that with an arrogance befitting of his statue so of course, he won't bow down no matter what Yasuo said, even if he knows Yasuo's true strength.

The only thing that can make Meruem hesitate is his light in the middle of darkness, the white butterfly called Komugi but to know that he needs to do something he doesn't want to do.

Something that could kill him because how can he trust Yasuo before him? What if what's inside the syringe will only make him die faster? Hesitation Yasuo's next words eliminated.

"So how about this, we'll fight, if you win I'll directly teleport you to the girl's location without requesting anything from you but if you lose, you'll do as I say then I'll teleport you to her location... In either case, you win the most so what do you think?"

All the time thinking the King needed before coming to the most logical choice is a second and only then did he nod.

"I accept but the fight can only go for 5 minutes, the one who appears to be winning in that time span is the winner because as you know, I don't have much time left."

Yasuo nodded already expecting those words then he advised the King as he started floating up in the air with his dark hair hiding the bright moon far behind him.

"I advise you to consume them both before we started else you won't have that great of a chance."

"No need for suc..." Uttered the King, however, He didn't have the chance to finish before...
