Chapter 35 - Dogeza
35 Chapter 35 - Dogeza
[ Back in the VIP Counter ]
Mary overwhelmed with anger couldn't stand waiting any longer as she stood up and said with venom in her voice "Should've known you were just a con." She proceeded to look at me with a red slit like eyes "Give up or I'm going to have to use force."
Unbeknownst to her, I listened to her threat with one ear and it went out the other as my mind went thorough quick thoughts about the three choices that were presented to me.
Seeing that her threats were not working and I was still looking down towards the floor with no indication of whether I was thinking of either surrendering or going offensive, she pointed her right index finger towards me.
The finger's tip glowed with a pinkish color that from a bystanders point would look like a small death ray. The color itself slowly became brighter as the moments passed and the it's point of damage also slowly increased.
I didn't need to look to know what was happening as the pink light became visible while looking at the floor and I didn't need to second guess to see that if that thing actually shoots like a death ray I would be a goner in an instant.
The threat of imminent extinction got me out of my thoughts as I made a definitive decision and said to the system my preferred choice of beast soul.
[ Are you sure, User ]
'Yes, I'm sure system'

Suddenly a rounded object appeared in my hand and without even looking at it, I quickly forced my mana into it.
Noticing the rounded object that suddenly appeared in my hand she winced her eyes and said with anger in her voice "So you've chosen to fight me, Alright then I won't go eas-" She suddenly stopped her self as she felt the sudden change in the environment.
15:49
Mary's senses tingled and it told her to be wary of the unknown.
As for me...
I looked at the scene with a childlike curiosity and I just smiled gleefully at anything that happened that was out of logic for me.
Suddenly the hairs of my body stood on end as I felt something warm touch my left shoulder and a low growl of what could be a predatory cat was heard from above me "Grrrrrr".
Terrified by at what I may have unleashed upon us I slowly turned to look at the feral animal.
My eyes first went to the thing that was on my shoulder at what I saw was a big white paw. And instinctively I felt even more fear because the paw was large and looked strong enough to snap my neck very very quickly.
Then my eyes slowly went upwards at what I could only define as a tiger but even then it had it's strangeness. The tiger was full on white with streaks of blue colors drawn on it's body like streaks of lighting. But what was the strangest wasn't even that... what was truly strange was that the tiger was at least 15 feet tall and it's length could be maybe 20 feet... I couldn't really tell as it's beautiful and fuzzy tail which was maybe 9 feet wrapped around my neck.
The tiger must have noticed my fear as it looked down at me. The pupil of it' eyes were completely black like total darkness but what made it look enchanting to look at was it's iris which were Cobalt Blue and looking at both of them together is what made it very beautiful to look at.
I felt a sense of relief wash me down as I saw the tiger give me reassuring eyes. Looking at it gave me the courage that I needed as I smiled at it and both of us looked back at the frightened women.
Mary's sense of danger told her the monster in front of her was very very strong and one wrong move could literally end her life.
The monster in front of her applied it's spiritual pressure on her.
Spiritual Pressure was a form of power that can be used to put physical pressure on someone else's spiritual being or what many call soul. Any living being that has Mana with a small amount of control in Mana Manipulation can use Spritual Pressure. What differed was the amount of pressure one could emit. The higher the level someone or some being has, the higher the amount of spritual pressure they can apply. Someone with high control in Mana Manipulation may be able to apply pressure in certain places to enact certain results but that that doesn't amount to the pressure of someone in a higher level can apply. Also some beasts can emit even more pressure on someone even on the same level as some beasts nature in itself is chaotic.
So you can guess how high of a spiritual pressure a beast in level SIX is emitting on someone who's only a peak level THREE.
Feeling the primal pressure of a beast who's level was way higher than her, Mary stumbled backwards and put her hands in defensive position in front of her chest. She looked at only the feral beast completely disregarding it's master who was beside it.
The Beast albeit noticing that the human is only looking at it thought that the human was disregarding it's master in front of her and quickly got even angrier as it roared at the foolish women.
"ROARRRRRR"
The roar blew apart the room as lighting streaks blew here and there completely destroying the once very dignified and beautiful room and most of the items in the room also got destroyed or partly broken.
Mary couldn't even defend herself for a second as the sound wave blew her away bashing her towards the wall at the back.
Mary tried to get up from the floor but the Beast's preying eyes looked down upon her and she hesitated whether to get up or lay down and act dead.
But to her fortune a mechanical voice interverned.
[ Please valued guest, Do not use anymore force on our employee ]
Hearing the voice that was of the AI's I suddenly had a idea.
I acted to look as angry as possible and said loudly to the mechanical voice "HOW DARE YOU! Is this how the Tudor Subjects act to Dignitaries of the Wiseburn Kingdom."
The mechanical voice tried to defend itself by saying
[ Guest you were the one who attacked first and also the reason why our employee was in a offensive stance is because you haven't answered any of her inquiries ]
Hearing the mechanical voices input Mary also nodded her head in agreement as saying this wasn't her fault.
'Shit the machine's right. Now what do I do?... Well do what I have always done... Bullshit all way towards the end'
Widening my eyes for a while before I started laughing loudly.
"Hahaha Hahaha"
Both the women on the floor and the AI couldn't process what I was doing.
After laughing for a while I angrily said to the AI "Not only do you not admit your mistakes but you also accuse me of Identity Theft. You Shameless Bunch"
[ Guest do not throw Insu- ]
Stopping the mechanical voice mid sentence I say threateningly towards both of them "Let's see how the Royal Family will do after hearing of this degrading situation." After saying my part all I needed to do was act like a person in position does which was look arrogant.
My words struck a cord in both of them as I could see that Mary was looking towards the AI with a lot if fear in her eyes and the AI looked like it was contemplating it's next move.
Mary saw that the AI wasn't responding to my question and thought frighteningly 'I can't let myself get punished for a simple reason like. I have to do some thing but what? Wh-' Then as a light bulb lit up in mind and she slowly came towards me. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Fearing that the beast might attack again if she were to stand up so she crawled her way towards me "Young Master please forgive me for my earlier behavior, I was wrong, Thi-This low class subject is asking for forgiveness" At the end to truly solidify her act she kneeled directly to the ground and prostrated herself like bowing and touched head to the ground and said "PLEASE FORGIVE ME, YOUNG MASTER"
Looking at her acting like this even I was thoroughly surprised as I thought 'Did she just- Is that really- Did she really just did a Dogeza. OH Mann! Now this is someone who deserves to get a oscar. Even the posture looks perfect. Now is it just me or does it look like she had already practiced for a situation like this.'
Not forgetting my role I acted like a young master and said to her "Tell me then how far are you willing to go for it?"
