Chapter 63 - Aftermath Part 1 (1/2)

In a hotel lobby filled with destruction and blood, two young boys could be seen lying on their backs, staring at a decrepit and cracked mural depicting the scene of a party of warriors facing off against a massive dragon.

From time to time, the muscles in the two boy's arms and legs would violently spasm, bringing small painfilled whimpers from their mouths.

{Fuck, this sucks.} Cynrik, the eldest boy, said in the mind link the two brothers shared. They had been lying in this same position for over 30 minutes, and still, neither had enough strength even to wiggle their toes, let alone stand up.

{Yeah…how long till Mom and Dad show up?} Brance, the younger brother, asked while trying to move his pinky finger for the hundredth time unsuccessfully.

{No clue. Tobs wanna chime in?} Cynrik said while asking the artificial intelligence of his system.

-Estimated time of Cinyah and Rikard Jetlensr is 15 minutes and 33 seconds.-

The female, monotone voice echoed in both of their heads, causing them both to groan in agony.

{Well, at least we killed all the mobs beforehand. Imagine how bad it would be if we got attacked right now.} Heaving a sigh Cynrik, complained to his brother.

At that moment, a large chunk of the ceiling broke free and crashed into the ground, inches from his head, causing him to yelp loudly.

{HEY, CMON CYN! Seriously, we are basically crippled, and your fucking around trying to jinx us. If you're gunna bitch, keep that bad luck to yourself, don't drag me into it.}

{Bah.} Feeling wronged, Cynrik just snorted and tried rolling onto his side, which he pulled off successfully, only to continue moving and end up face down with a soft thump. {Ow…}

Brance stopped moving and just lied there helplessly and observed the scene of devastation they had created not long ago.

The hotel lobby was littered with body parts, gore, and small impact craters. On the ground several feet away from Brance was a large puddle of flesh, intestines, and blood. These were the obliterated remains of their previous opponent Myer Avio. Even though their fight lasted around twenty minutes, it had felt like an eternity. From getting their asses beat to activating their new nuclear option, The Over-Break Mode, they had fought harder than ever before and were now suffering backlash from the said fight.

{Hey, Cyn.} Reminiscing on the achievements they had obtained in a single night, Brance felt a bit of pride.

{Hm?} Still struggling to right himself, Cynrik gave up momentarily, and his eyes drifted across the room to Brance.

{We kicked the ass off a Tier-2 and like a hundred 0 and 1's.} Brance wanted to laugh, but even that subtle action caused him a great deal of pain, which ended in a fit of coughs.

{Hell yeah, we did.} Then, acting like a masochist, Cynrik started chuckling softly, bringing another bout of pain.

They had slaughtered their way through dozens upon dozens of adults who were significantly stronger than their combined power and overcame adversity repeatedly.

Minus the fact that neither the seven-year-old Cynrik nor the six-year-old Brance could currently move, they were both reveling in the spoils of their victory.

{Hey Tobs, Bring up all the notifications from after the battle again.} Remembering that he had a bunch of system notifications he had been ignoring for half an hour, Cynrik chose to go through them finally.

But first, he had to do something about how he was lying down. So, summoning what little strength he had left, slowly and robotically, Cynrik's head turned until he could see the wall across the room, and he was resting his left ear on the ground.

{Random thought, Brancie, but we are like Goku after he got rekt by Monkey mode Vegeta, hehe OW!}

{Shut up and read your damn notifications; leave me to what little peace we have left before Mom kicks us to hell and back.} Feeling frustrated by his brother's ever-constant joking around, Brance brought up the list of notifications he received after they finished off Myer.

Cynrik shivered in fear as the realization that his mother would lock them away until they were adults kicked in.
