Cleaver Of Sin

Chapter 911: A Bow [Ko-fi Bonus Chapter]

Back at the Coliseum, particularly on the battlefield, Asher could be seen standing, his Star Form still blazing around him as the chants echoing throughout the arena reached his ears. His head turned to the side as he watched the live spectators rush toward him with glee in their eyes.

Asher sighed, and with a thought, his Star Form vanished, the Star emblem on his forehead flickering away as though it had never been there. Exhaustion didn’t hit him as he was constantly rejuvenating his muscles and nerves at all times. The moment he left his combat state, Limitless Physical Growth immediately activated as Asher felt warmth and a soothing sensation course through his body. His physical prowess and stats immediately soared to new heights.

Asher enjoyed the feeling as he closed his eyes for a moment. Although he might have been cheating biology for the past five hours by granting himself seemingly endless stamina, nothing beat true biological rejuvenation at the end of the day.

Although he was a bit mentally exhausted, Asher didn’t faint like he had during his battle with Debro, as his mental capacity had only grown since then.

As the live spectators rushed toward him, they were immediately stopped by various Astra Energy barriers created by different staff members who had been sent to take control of the situation.

Asher simply smiled in their direction as he waved at them, as that was the most he could do for his fanatical fans. If possible, he would have signed some clothes for them, but there was simply no time.

Asher felt a heavy gaze on him coming from above. His head tilted upward, his purple eyes meeting a pair of amber-gold ones belonging to Arianna and a pair of crimson-red ones belonging to the woman who had saved her.

Asher simply ignored the other woman, as he didn’t know her. His focus settled on Arianna as though reminding her that he had told her this would happen if they ever met. The next moment, he smiled at her as his lips parted and silently mouthed something inaudible.

Good battle.

Before Arianna’s lips could even move in an equally inaudible reply, a thunderous voice boomed from above, and it was none other than Thomasinho.

“AND THERE WE FUCKING HAVE IT!!! THE FUCKING PEAK. THE ABSOLUTE CINEMA. THE CARNAGE. THE MADNESS. THE DESTRUCTION. WE ASKED FOR PEAK, AND HE MORE THAN DELIVERED!” He shouted into his microphone as his body trembled from pure excitement.

AlyxAtlas, who was floating beside him, screamed into her own microphone, “YOU KNOW WHAT? I TOTALLY AGREE. LET’S FUCKING SCRAP THE INTER-EMPIRE TOURNAMENT. AFTER WHAT MY EYES JUST WITNESSED, I DOUBT ANY MORTAL CAN EVER REPLICATE THIS!”

She seemed to forget that she worked for the organizers of the Inter-Empire Tournament and wasn’t one of the viewers who could support random things and chant whatever they liked. But did AlyxAtlas care? Definitely not. What could they possibly do? Fire her? Please, she would still get other gigs, and no host could work as a commentator in the Inter-Empire Tournament twice.

“Sigh… but sadly, everything must come to an end, as nothing lasts forever, and sadly, so does this peak,” Thomasinho spoke.

“But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t appreciate him. There will never be a moment like this, there will never be a man like him, there will never be a woman like him, there will never be a being like him. He topped the rankings in the first round, topped the rankings in the second round, fought all the remaining candidates single-handedly without rest, and still came out on top,” AlyxAtlas’ voice followed.

“So, bow to him. Pray to him. Chant his name. Dedicate your first child and son to him,” Thomasinho stated.

And with his words, cheers erupted.

“THANK YOU FOR THE PEAK!!!”

“THIS WAS THE BEST ARC OF MY LIFE!!!”

“I SHALL BLIND MYSELF SO THIS PEAK REMAINS THE LAST THING I EVER WITNESS IN THE LIGHT!!!”

“CAN YOU PARTICIPATE NEXT ROUND???”

Voices echoed as people chanted while the adrenaline still coursed through their veins.

Asher broke eye contact with Arianna, his eyes shifting toward the spectators who banged against the Astra Energy wall before them as they stared at him with fascination in their eyes. Asher didn’t speak; he simply performed a single motion.

A bow. A perfect ninety-degree bow with his hands by his sides.

Yes, these people didn’t give him clothes, money, or anything tangible. But he appreciated their love, and he cherished the support they had shown him. It filled his heart. How couldn’t he be moved? He wasn’t some emotionless machine. So, a bow was probably the only way he could thank them for their unwavering support throughout the Inter-Empire Tournament.

“As the Inter-Empire Tournament comes to an end, the rewards will follow next. But unfortunately, the rewards can’t be given here due to the heaviness of the reward. Also, the reward ceremony won’t be streamed throughout the world,” Thomasinho spoke.

“So, the rewards will be presented at a final gala hosted by the Overlord of the Thalvorn Empire in two days. If you aren’t lucky enough to be invited, then I guess it ends here for you,” AlyxAtlas announced with a smile.

“BOO!!!!” “BOOO!!!” “BOOO!!!!”

“STOP BEING COWARDS AND BRING OUT THE REWARDS!!!”

“END THIS TOURNAMENT ON THE PERFECT NOTE!!!”

Thomasinho shook his head as he spoke. “Before you boo at me and my partner and ask for the perfect ending, I guess I should tell you that, due to the peakness we’ve all just experienced, the Head of the Elox Family of the Vandross Empire has decided to bless every single person who made any form of stake or bet with the total amount of money they had staked, whether they won or lost. Through the Betting Organization’s technology and abilities, all funds will be sent to each individual across the planet within an hour using the same method through which the bets were originally placed and rewarded,” he announced.

His words immediately silenced everyone present.

The total amount across the planet had to be in the quadrillions, if not more, yet a single man had declared that he would return everyone’s money for free. Was there anyone more generous than him? Could anyone truly be this generous and expect nothing in return?

If people knew the ability the Head of the Elox Family possessed, they wouldn’t be so shocked, as it was an ability related to money. One would then understand the reason he was being so generous, spending fortunes that even entire Empires didn’t possess.

“I remain your Host, Thomasinho.”

“I remain your Host, AlyxAtlas.”

“And together we announce the end of the Inter-Empire Tournament. We hope to see you all at the next peak. Over and out,” both AlyxAtlas and Thomasinho stated as they vanished from the sky and returned to wherever they had come from.

As for Asher, he simply turned around, waved with a smile, and walked toward the tunnel before disappearing into it, leaving only the voices and chants of the crowd to fill the air.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Bonus Chapter sponsored by Sluggish_Slug through Ko-fi.

Finally, I’m done with all the bonus chapters. This author demands a free Super gift or Kofi for all the hard work.

Also, major announcement: I will be traveling on the 9th (tomorrow) for a friend’s burial on the 10th and would return on the 13th or 15th. If my updates are unstable within these days, it’s because of the burial, as it would be held in a village, and 99% of all villages have no service/internet connection.

So be patient with me during these dates. If possible, I will try releasing one chapter for the time being during these days. But if I can’t, it’s out of my hands.

Also, Ko-fi is on my profile and novel synopsis in case anybody ever wants to support the bonus chapters or send this greedy author free money. Lol.

Look at the book at the Golden Ticket rank 5.

It will overtake us in a few hours… it’s a smut and horny people book. We can’t allow such books to overtake us.

Let’s fight to keep our rank 4.
