CHAPTER - 57

  Narrator: The world saw with its own eyes the overwhelming strength of Dav from that video, leaving everyone paralyzed.

  Some continued to argue on social media, claiming Azrael Kingsley was stronger, while others defended the opposite.

  Days passed, and when Dav found some free time for himself, he went out to a bar to have a drink and eat in peace.

  Days earlier, the students and everyone else remained silent during lessons and continued their training without making a sound.

  Dav sat in an elegant bar, drinking, a place where no one would disturb him.

  Beside him, a blond man with a red beard and a black hat was also drinking quietly, bored.

  The two remained like that for an hour, lost in thought, idly playing with peanuts.

  [Both spoke at the same time]

  Dav: (Shouting, raising his hand) Another beer, please!

  !!!: (Shouting, raising his hand) Another beer, please!

  [The two looked at each other straight in the face for a few seconds]

  Dav: (Mouth slightly open) Aren’t you Azrael Kingsley?!

  Azrael Kingsley: (Surprised, lifting his sunglasses) And aren’t you Dav De Lion?!

  --

  Narrator: Dav was very good at English, so he had no trouble understanding him.

  --

  Azrael Kingsley: (Laughing) How is this possible?! I came on vacation with my family, knowing the hero lived here, but I didn’t expect to run into you! AHAHA!

  Dav: (Thinking aloud, looking at him) A coincidence... huh?

  Do you feel like drinking with me while we’re here?

  Azrael: (Laughing) Considering we’ve already been doing it for an hour, I suppose we can keep going AHAHA!

  Dav: (Half-smiling) To your health, then.

  (Slightly apologetic, chuckling) Sorry for causing you so much trouble with social media lately.

  Azrael: (Looking at his beer) It’s not your fault.

  My right-hand man is probably behind this social media war. (Sighs) Ahh...

  I told him I wouldn’t mind a friendly duel with you... but I think he went overboard this time.

  (Curious) If I may ask, why didn’t you accept?

  Dav: (Looking at the bottles on the shelf)

  I’m not particularly interested in fighting humans.

  Azrael: (Smiling) Would you be up for a friendly match?

  Nothing too serious, even if it’s just a fight with wooden swords, no aura or mana.

  (Overly dramatic expression) There’s no one in the top rankings I can fight except you...

  Dav: (Smirking) I prefer a serious duel, as it should be.

  If you had asked me directly before, I would have accepted without any problem, just like now. Hahaha.

  Azrael: (Excited, making a funny face) So, it’s a yes?!

  Dav: (Smiling menacingly) Only if we make a bet.

  Azrael Kingsley: (Laughing happily) Anything, my new friend!

  (Confident) If I win, I want you to join my guild. Is that fine?

  What would you want?

  Dav: (Looking at him) When the day comes that I ask you for a favor, whatever it may be, you won’t be able to refuse.

  Azrael Kingsley: (Grinning) Deal!

  Dav: (Staring at him) Even if I were to ask you to kill your own family?

  Think carefully before accepting.

  Azrael Kingsley: (Firm) I accept.

  I won’t change my mind.

  Dav: (Sighing) What a strange guy you are, ahh...

  Azrael Kingsley: (Smiling) Should we take a photo to announce it to everyone on social media?

  Dav: (Drinking) Another social media apocalypse, I see.

  Azrael: (Amused) Smile! CLICK! HAHAHA!

  This photo will be my lifetime good luck charm—look at your face with that beer in your hand! AHAHA!

  Dav: (Barely laughing) Want to eat out with me tonight, or are you busy with your family?

  Azrael: (Jokingly) I’m a married man—I can’t betray my wife like this... I need to think about it...

  Dav: (Sighs) You’re such a fool, ahh...

  Azrael: (Laughing uncontrollably) I haven’t had this much fun in a long time! AHAHA!

  (A bit serious) Let’s go somewhere, then.

  My wife is probably out shopping with her sisters-in-law and nieces.

  (Curious) Where are you taking me?

  Dav: (Irritated playfully) I don’t recall being one of your waiters, excuse me, sir.

  Just be satisfied with this place—it’s a good bar with no disturbances.

  Azrael: (Laughing) At this rate, I’ll lose my lungs from laughing too much! AHAHA!

  ~ A little later ~

  Azrael: (While eating with Dav) We really did cause an apocalypse on social media! AHAHA!

  4 billion likes and 13 billion comments...

  You’re so famous, my friend.

  Dav: (Curious) Just out of curiosity, what did you write in the caption?

  Azrael: (Holding his fork and phone) Nothing important, just:

  "We’ve decided to fight—The winner shall be the lord of all hunters."

  Dav: (Serious, but with a comedic deadpan look) ...

  (With arms and head on the table) Why do I only meet idiots in my life...?

  Azrael: (Laughing like crazy) How have I never met you before?! HAHAHA!

  (Asking) When do you want our friendly duel to happen?

  Dav: (Thinking) Hmm... How about we do it on Christmas?

  And all the earnings will go to charity so that others can have a proper Christmas too?

  Azrael: (Serious, drinking) That’s a great idea.

  Christmas is a month away, so that works.

  Name: Azrael Kingsley

  Title: The Angel of Death

  Rank: SS+

  Specialization: Close combat, swordsman, dark magic

  Reputation: Feared by monsters, respected by humans

  [Biography]

  Azrael Kingsley is one of the most powerful hunters in the world, both feared and respected in equal measure.

  Born into a family of elite warriors, he showed an innate talent for battle from a young age, honing his skills in both close combat and dark magic.

  His nickname, "The Angel of Death," was given to him after he single-handedly wiped out a horde of S-rank monsters, emerging from battle completely unscathed, his aura so terrifying that even the fiercest beasts fled before him.

  Despite his immense strength and fame

  , Azrael is known for his laid-back attitude and sense of humor, often contrasting with his image as an unstoppable warrior.

  He has a charismatic personality and loves challenges, always searching for worthy opponents.

  However, beneath his bravado lies a man burdened by countless battles and sacrifices.

  Currently, Azrael is the second strongest hunter in the world, and many consider him the only one capable of facing Dav De Lion in a true duel.

  Despite the social media comparisons and rivalries, he himself holds great respect for Dav and wishes to fight him—not out of vanity, but for the pure thrill of battle.

  Beyond his career as a hunter, Azrael deeply loves his family, and in his rare moments of rest, he dedicates himself to them, proving that behind the mask of the Angel of Death lies a man who can smile and enjoy life.
