Chapter 1962: The Italian Side Job -Part 7

"Tsk, do they think that having strength was the secret of winning against me?" Spartakus thought to himself as he imbued void energy into his spear once more which caused something eerie to happen that the Foxes did not expect.

Once thought of them as ornaments on the sword, the humans that had been 'carved' into the sword suddenly became alive with the void energy that had been forcefully entered into their systems. Their cries were empty as they breathed life into their non functioning lungs and against their will, they rose from the giant spear and started to extend their hands towards the direction of the Foxes.

When the rest of Jin's group understood what was happening, the humans that had been enslaved to the spear started to throw out void energised beams that could not be evaded. Each time the Foxes tried to move away, the lasers would turn and aim them again.

It was only because the Foxes were so skilled that they moved only at the very last minute, and ever so little just to miss the trajectory of the beam, that the void energised beams would not be able to change their courses in time to hit them.

And even as the rest had started to block the beams, Spartakus found it extremely weird that these humans would be able to wield void energy. This was because no magic shield or some chi technique had been able to fully block the beams shot by these humans controlled by Spartakus' spear.

This was because those humans that had been used on the Void Being's spear were all heroes of the past where they overestimated themselves to be the saviours of the world when they challenged Spartakus in an effort to save their towns, cities and kingdoms. The Void warrior had not been randomly choosing humans to litter his spear as mere decorations.

They were all established elites who had proven to be a bothersome thorn in Spartakus' side when they fought with him.

Of course, Spartakus won quickly and easily but the damage he received was somewhat of an insult to him and to a certain point, their tenacious behaviour to stand against him despite the odds stacked against them was something that Spartakus wished to remember by.

That was the official reason that he gave to other Void Beings who saw the spear but in true honesty, the Void Beings knew that Spartakus was a sadist and had purposely put those 'heroes' to shame by making them a part of his spear.

It was not an honour for each time the spear received damage at a certain part, that particular human body would be torn. Spartakus would then repair it with void energy but in the meantime, that also meant that the human would be alive due to the void energy permeating his/her body. So even as the void energy mends the internals the human cried and wailed in pain.

They wished for their bodies to be gone with the void rather than suffer in eternity with the Void Being and that could be seen in the faces as they threw the void beams towards the Foxes.

The only one who could see this clearly was Itori but she had no idea what these chained humans were suffering through because it was clearly none of her business. However, their wrung expression was sufficient to show that they were begging for help to put them out of such misery.

So as she threw herself behind Ixel for protection because of his strength to create even bigger shields, Itori prepared her counterattack by concentrating on the coordinates of those humans firing at them.

Unlike Earth where she could do it in a blink of an eye, it seemed as if the Void World's environment had an effect on their perception as well.

While it was not as bad as one not being imbued by Void Energy transmitted from the System Rider all thanks to Ke Mi and Jin, there were still some effects of it and Itori who was trying to be as precise as possible had trouble pinpointing her targets properly.

So when the White Fox was not able to perform a counter attack that was accurate then all she could do was enhance and amplify her spells so that they could hit because of the scale of it. When the Void Energised Beams had stopped, Itori climbed up on Ixel and he automatically went to piggyback her onto his shoulders.

It was a natural move to show their closeness as foxes as she released the cast for those chi based White Fire combined with the Void Energy that she had accumulated.

However, those humans did not see any spell release from the girl even though it looked as if she cast something based on a huge flicker of a spark that emerged above her. So while in agony and looking to see where this chi technique was going to land, those humans did not know that they were being burned as the seconds passed.

Only upon realisation that they finally feel the sweet taste of relief when they see their fingers and subsequently their body goes into flames. Sure, it was a pain to be burning alive as the skin was seared and later their muscles. It was the same effect on the bones, meaning that the fire that had been conjured was not some ordinary flame coloured in white.

In contrast to the abyssal void, this white flame felt like salvation and as it burned the bones so fiercely into ashes, it also smoothed the soul as its warmth was something that these humans had longed for.

"Anyways, are we going to start the meeting or not?" Pei asked as she did not care about the battle and already taken out her tablet from her storage ring to start looking at the things she wished to discuss. As the head of the Health Department there were so many things to look into and the most important portion was the allocation of the budget.

And in response, Evon sneered at her for he did not need a tablet to know what he required to discuss. For the person responsible for the Science and research department, all he needed was more men or monsters.

There were too little scholars within Dungeon World to make a proper difference and the fact that Jin's personal Research Department was taking the brilliant minds away was making things difficult for him to move ahead. It was as if Evon wished to have a competition with Ayse but the latter never saw him as a threat before.

"If we are really starting the meeting, can I start with my agenda first?" Itori said as she stopped her casting for a moment as she raised her hand to attract the attention of the people that were talking. "I have the teachers and lots of students as well as the necessary facilities but there's a need to know the topics we wish to teach."

"Can we talk about revamping the Circles of Hell portion? We had been receiving quite a few prisoners that we need to hold for the crimes they do." Ixel commented but he got a whack from Itori since she was already sitting on his shoulders.

"Need to discuss on the reeducation of wrong doers and rehabilitation as well. Deterrence does not do any good to these people when they live so long lives and death is not much of an option to consider. Oh, and we need to get our religion up and running properly. That Peppers and Milk combination is not really working that well.

Not to mention, we should change the religion name to properly reflect Pandapolis beliefs. In fact, why don't we just scrap the current religion that we are attempting to run?

At the rate I am seeing the numbers and reviews, it felt more like a fan club for those two Bellators." Itori who was not usually the most talkative person in the room started to speak out so much that the Foxes were mildly taken aback.

It was rare for her to show concerns but there must be a limit to her fanaticism towards work. "Since when do we have a department of religion? And why are you so concerned about it?" Kiyu asked as she was merely taking pictures of the environment after blocking those void energised beams. But even as Kiyu wanted to discourage her further, Ixel interrupted and applauded Itori for thinking for him.

"At times, I do not know whether Ixel is pretending to be dumb or he is truly dumb." Kiyu rolled her eyes and Rex chuckled seeing that the group of foxes was lively as usual.

"We have something to report but not of a high priority compared to the issues you all have." Tsu and Kai said in unison before they too released the very same intensity of flames similar to Itori just that it was Black and it was directed towards the Spartakus' face.

Without a doubt, this group of humans were providing more than just an irk to the Void Warrior.
