131 The Little Black and Gold Dice! (1/2)

Old D bombarded a strong magical aura around them, enough to make Pedro think twice for his next actions. That said, Pedro regained his composure and courage, and neutralized the fear that Old D wanted to establish in order for Pedro to show respect to him as his master.

'Inheritor? Non-sense! Faunia only said one thing! She was up against a demon!' Pedro frowned as he glanced towards Faunia that was being carried by Fate and seemed lifeless.

Before anyone could speak, Fate smirked as he tossed his 'toy' dice into the air and deflected Pedro's pen-knife that was aiming towards him at full speed. The Pen-knife stabbed into the ground whilst Fate's toy dice landed straight back to his hand as if nothing had happened.

This weaved a few more lines into Old D's forehead as the magical energy he exerted becomes stronger, enough to make Pedro feel like he was being forced to kneel in respect. Fortunately, before matters could go any worst, Fate's laugh broke the deathly silence as he placed his toy dice into his pocket and took out a small dice. It was almost an inch long on each side and had an alternating color of black and gold; where there was a black dot on the gold-colored sides.

”Hahahaha! Being stubborn would bring you no good young man!” Fate said as he held tightly on the small dice, not even daring to play with it. At this moment, Old D glanced towards Fate and the dice in his hand as his grip to his cane tightens and the magical energy he released, became stronger.

Before anyone could speak, Fate continued, ”Ha-Ha! You see, young man... We are here to help! If you think that we were here to abduct Little Faunia, then you are wrong!”

At this moment, Fate wore a calm and cold look as his usually curved lips straightened. Consequently, his body resonated with an equally strong magical aura with that of Old D, to the point that the pressure the Pedro felt had suddenly doubled.

This time, Fear could be seen in Pedro's dark eyes. Unfortunately, escape is not possible because even his vision was barely able to hold on. That said, Pedro still struggled to remain conscious like a student who stayed up late at night in order to finish a project that is due the next day.

”First of all, if you are an enemy or our target... There would be no discussion and you would already be dead.” Fate said as he opened his palm, revealing the black and gold dice. ”Second, no one can stop Old D if he wants to harvest a soul. Not even Elder sister Life could stop him! So... Young man! If you are worried about little Faunia, then rest assured, we won't do any harm to her.”

After he said his point, Fate controlled the magical energy he released enough to stabilize Pedro mentally but strong enough to restrict his movements physically. On the other hand, Old D's gaze was still fixated towards Fate and his dice.

”Pfff... Bwahahahahaha!” Fate burst into laughter after noticing that Old D was 'somehow' on guard against his dice. Then, he said, ”Relax, Old D! This is my ultimate special favorite dice! It looks cool, doesn't it? Bwahahahahaha!”

”I know! And I am very familiar with it!” Old D replied in a cold manner. Then, he asked, ”You only have a few of those dice. Don't tell me that you are planning to use it at this disrespectful candidate of mine?”

”Bwahahahahaha!” Fate burst into laughter and said, ”You don't see what I can see Old D! You do what you think is best for the world, and I would do the same.”

Fate smirked as he opened his palm revealing the black and gold dice. Old D remained silent as Fate closed his hand and shook it. However, instead of throwing the dice, he stopped shaking his hand and opened it once more.

”Tada!” Fate said like a magician as the black and gold dice became two.

Old D frowned and was about to speak but he was interrupted with Fate's laugh.

”Bwahahahahaha! Old D, ain't I cool? It's a trick I learned from brother Procras! How irony! Hahahaha!”
