power

zed looked at zeth with anger "you.. miserable..human..I..would..cut..you..to.. pieces... " he dashed once more to zeth after he left the area where he was exploded debris were sent everywhere and delivered a powerful blow this time his hands were covered in faint blue aura zed like wise blocked the attack with his sword boom... the impact created a defying sound who was like that of two asteroid colliding trees were blown to the air a medium size crater was formed under their feet the ground around them had many fissure zed gave him a hard kick on his right side rib cage smashing him in the nearby trees zeth may be powerful but he had only one hand which was his left hand so his right side was completely defenseless if he couldn't react in time which was obviously the case . when zed was about to continue his assault an arrow pierced him and exploded

he wasn't astonished by that zed was bound to have a high armor since he used only his hands and legs zed turned his attention to john and ran to him before john could react he felt immense pain on his stomach he felt like his body was going numb he spent mouthful of blood and fell to his knees holding his stomach the pain was nearly unbearable zed raised his two hands and brought them down on his back zed saw how john fell lifeless before his body transformed into smoke

[damage dealt 500 damaged negated 300 ]

[moderately wounded state ]

[remark : body unable to withstand the pain target may feel dizzy for some seconds ]

john was hiding on a tree agonizing he felt dizzy he had reacted fairly in time to avoid the second attack with [ shadow feint ] but could not avoid the first he understood that this magically being maybe more powerful than BERMOFET but then again BERMOFET was restricted by some sort of seal and could use up to 50% of his power west would had happened to him if BERMOFET was using his power at full capacity also his body was too weak anyway it wasn't the time for that . zeth got up and took a special stance violent winds started forming around him and more princely around his sword then form a small size tornado he was literally wielding a two meter long tornado then he began his attacks against zed at the beginning zed could avoid but after 10 seconds he couldn't more and had many cut on his body john determined that if things continued he would be butchered to pieces but suddenly his body began transparent and after some seconds he disappeared completely zeth didn't relaxed at all and stayed on his guard then he felt a Hand coming from behind heading to his right side he moved his sword in a circular manner but was still one second late zed had already wounded him and disappeared once more after some seconds he felt a hand coming from his right side zed was very cunning he decided to attack only from the right because of zeth handicap but what he didn't know was that it was more easy to determine from where he would attack zeth stabbed him with his sword , zed him continued to move forward even with the sword in his chest the more he moved forward the more the two Meter long sword entered him zeth felt something was off but before he could release the sword zed had already caught him by the neck and was strangling him "die...." zeth was recklessly struggling to break free he could breath and he started loosing the force to struggle "i..warned..you..but..you..wanted..to..play..the..hero..now..DIE...." at the time john finally snap out of his dizziness he dashed to zed and while running his blade became completely black [armor crusher ] of armor killer blade then he stabbed his blade into zed heart from the back

boom...

a loud explosion was heard

[remark : core of zed magical armor destroyed ]

zed released his grip and his body finally collapsed to the ground john could finally take a long breath if it wasn't for the fact that this blade he obtained from rain could destroy the core of magical armor they would had died for sure zeth was holding his neck and trying to recover his breath

he frown hard after taking a look at the notification armor killer was currently his best weapon now that it was damaged the attack had not only reduced from normal to weak but the second effect was disabled but he didn't have time to think about that zeth was severely wounded and was still bleeding he had to help him he first searched the body of zed if he could find any thing interesting and he discovered an armor and the twin dagger

he immediately wore the [zed camouflage] and kept the twin dagger and ring in his bag he was abit disappointed by the ring like the camouflage they could both show their power only in the night . for the dagger he could still sell them when he went back and for the ring he didn't meet the requirement so he could only keep it for now . he helped zeth to get up "raul I would first bring him back " john said Raul wounds were mostly superficial so he could handle it while for zeth it was something more complicated "okay bring chief zeth to the manor there is a doctor there " Raul said while he struggled to get up john nodded and brought him back to the manor

after entering the manor he called for the doctor and brought zeth to his room john only left the room when Raul came back and the doctor was tending zeth wounds "Mr Evan thanks for your help today " john nodded and when out before returning to the inn where rai the princess and the others where staying he still had question on what really happened to Raul and the villager of this people and why was the aura of zeth so weak

he arrived silently in the night with [zed camouflage] since it was still the night he could easily sneak in the house when he entered the house "don't make noise elly is sleeping " he heard the voice of rai who was sitting on a sofa and reading his book john stepped out of his camouflage state and asked surprisedly "how did you know it was me " "lets say I took my precautions , have you found what you were looking for " john understood what he meant he had surely modified the house and added some defensive measures "not really we were attack I still need to ask some questions to zeth before we leave so we may prolong our holiday " he said jokingly "thats your own business but you should be aware that while your are waisting time here the other princes are scheming and preparing a way of either killing all of us or capturing the pasrel with their arrogance I don't think they would lower themselves to gain the trust of my father " john sat down "you are perfectly correct we wouldn't waste more time I hope that when we come back you and your sisters would help the princess to meet the general " "it depends " john didn't pursue the mater any further "rai do you know a certain zed the nightmare " "yes he is considered as one of the six demon if the east sea why ? " john shook his head " do you know if he can transform into some sort of monster? " "absolutely not " john didn't ask more and laid there without making noise

the next morning

everybody got up and prepared his or her belonging after seeing Evan elly jumped in his arms "uncle Evan are we leaving ? " "yes today we are going back but not now we still need to ask something to zeth " she looked at him weirdly "who is zeth ? " "you would know soon enough now if everybody is ready please follow me " where are we going ? " Elza asked "to see someone who may clarify some misunderstanding " when he first saw the king brother zeth in such a secluded island he had guessed that something had happened during the last struggle for the throne .

They all went to the manor deep in the forest Raul was waiting for them at the door "Mr Evan please follow me " they went upstairs into zeth room and entered it was very big and could accommodate more than 50 people "doctor please leave us " Raul ordered the doctor who then left and closed the door

zeth who was sleeping on the bed opened his eyes and sat up on the bed he had bandage covering all his torso his left forearm was also bandage with a white band " you should all want to know why I called for you here , I want to reveal specifically to you princess and the generals daughter what happened in the pasrel during the last struggle "

"everything started 10 years back when the three of us arrived the pasrel me the younger brother , the king the elder and the last our eldest brother to both of us on that particular day our eldest brother took a liking to a woman in the pasrel and wanted to force her into marrying him but like you know when a member of the royal family enters the pasrel during that period he or she lost all his authority so he couldn't act recklessly unless he wanted to face the general of the pasrel of that time but our brother still didn't want to allow her even after knowing that she was married and had children he even went far as to kidnap her but fortunately the general was present and he was banned from entering the pasrel normally when you are banned from the pasrel you loose immediately the chance to become king of vazel , on that day he swears in front of me ,my brother who is presently the king and the general that he would come back to obtain revenge he left three month after my brother won and on that day were the general was suppose to announce it to the whole pasrel he came back to the pasrel wanting to meet the general to ask for forgiveness , my brother was too softhearted and asked the general to allow him in who would had known that he had warriors hidden in the pasrel he objected my brother and refused to accept his victory and a war broke out the pasrel was ravaged by blood, blood was littering everywhere he then went to find for that woman and tried to kill her with her children I made all I could to protect her but his power had grown exponentially because of the hatred for her and the general . i could only save her 5 years old son and twin daughter that day you saw me holding the bloody body of your mother and it is why you thought it was me who killed her and it is while protecting them that he made me this scar " zeth stopped and showed the scar on his face "when me , the king and the general were still battling against him the pirate of the east sea attacked neither I nor the king nor the general could leave we were tangled by him then a courageous simple young knight reassembled the remaining knight and went to face them after a firece battle he drove them back and is like this that your father became the present general of the pasrel it was due to that we could conclude the battle and save the pasrel after that I left the pasrel and went on a journey and finally ended here "

after hearing that story the twin sister , the princess , elly all finally let down their tears rai knelt on one knee facing the princess "i plead with you to forgive me princess " the princess helped him to stans up "no don't do that I don't blame you for this your hatred was clearly justified , what is more important is that the misunderstanding had been cleared " john look at all those girls "they are all really emotional " he thought

after everybody calmed down and stopped crying john continued "zeth what about the hatred of Raul and the natives of this island " he wanted to know the story behind that too
