war in the pasrel

john roll to the side and got up using a flip . Dan continued his assault , tiptoeing forward and made an inclined horizontal cut starting upward john raised his left dagger and blocked clang.. then thrust his right dagger to Dan stomach

Dan did not try to avoid and instead gave him a hard punch on the face the power send him smashing on the ground

[pierced inflict 200 damage to target HP.... ]

"okay let me show you something interesting "he did not concern himself wih his bleeding stomach on his left hand red and black line began drawing them selves from his fingers to his shoulder the lines undulated crossing each other it had ancient luster his muscles increased he emanated a completely different aura the markings on his hands emitted two distinct colour of black and red

his eyes were blood shed "Die " he took a step and appeared in front of John and delivered a punch

john used [shadow feint ] to avoid the attack he appeared on the ceiling of a building to the left but surprisingly Dan appeared again in front of him and delivered a punch once more this time the attack was more powerful and rapid his hand had exponentially increased in size it was extremely ugly with his small body without unsheathing it john used to the sword of chaos and placed it in a hanging right position to block the attack boom... upon impact the building under his feet was blasted to the pieces and crumbled john was buried under the debris while Dan eld his left hand with the right hand it had exploded upon contact with the sheath of the sword of chaos it was hanging without moving

"you bastard what is this you have broken my hand " he yell as he agonize in pain

suddenly he saw a ha d extending from the debris then johns body rising like a dead coming back to life "impossible you should be dea.... " before he could finish his phrase john had already pierced his throat with his twin dagger he fell lifeless to the ground his attitude changed drastically as if he was another person "sorry.." "haro.... " he tried to say something there was regret in his eyes a lot of regret but an arrow entered his heart

[pierced (throat) target dies....]

"haro what does it means " john was taken aback by the sudden change of attitude he was now confused . the explosion of the building had alarmed the nearby patrols and civilians everyone of them started gathering around the area

John wanted to understand why his [shadow feint ] didn't function with Dan but had no time for that he took the book that was dropped by Dan then ran to zeth and removed him the chains restraining him before rushing out of there with him but when he arrived the other end of the alley it was already filled with guards holding sword Lance bows different types of weapons they didn't wore armor but a similar dress a short sleeve open shirt on their torso an " F " tatoe , they had short trouser reaching the knees he turn and behind him they had already blocked the road he was like a sardine in a can with know way out

"take my hand " zeth said john did not ask why and took his hand then zeth jumped over a three meter tall building and landed on the ceiling

when they landed they saw a bunch of people their leader had an arbalest in his hand he had a shoulder belt who hoisted his arrows they were dress similarly as those under "that stupid Dan even when dying he can't shut up " he said mockingly

then zeth raised his sword vertically starting downward rising up the simple attack literally divided the building into two boom.... everybody on the ceiling was sent flying with debris the one who just spoke was flabbergasted by the evolution of things "you are not allowed to speak of him " he jumped on the pieces of broken materials like a monkey he divided the one who spoke into two equal halves

his mouth largely opened with disbelief in his eyes he had die without even obtaining the chance of retaliating

john and zeth jumped down the crumbling building before continuing their flee the fallen building served as barrage and gave them enough time to run away and return to the boat

when the princess saw their panicked face she asked "what happened " john didn't give a respond and ordered rai "we are leaving rush to the pasrel there is no time the lives of hundreds if people are in danger " rai did not ask why and rushed to the boat driver cabin

"princess ...." john explained everything he discovered after he spoke all of them were left speechless "that dam Ferguson if I found him i would skin him alive " Raul exclaimed angrily

everybody there wanted to kill him but john was not that enthusiastic as them "if he was that easy to kill he would have been death long ago " he was sure that Ferguson himself without considering his subordinate could kill any of them except maybe the king brother but he wasn't sure it was just a vague estimation of his power

"princess do you have a way of contacting the guardian or your father "no he is suppose to not enter the pasrel this particular moment it is part of the rules establish by his predecessor "

meanwhile....

somewhere in a room on an island round a table were sitting 7 hooded people

"that incompetent he could not complete am easy task as that " one spoke angrily "first zed now even that idiot " another said helplessly

the one who seemed to be their leader "the first time we met I knew he was different but now he has become a real thorn on my leg , we can't wait anymore prepare your people we are moving immediately " he spoke "bur Sir the magical matrix hasn't been completed yet " one added "i said we can't wait anymore we are moving " he stood up and left

on the boat

john was viewing the plan of the pasrel drew by rai it wasn't detail as a real plan but the essential was present "how are we going to proceed " the princess asked "i know nothing on matrix " john answered honestly

"all we can do now is return to the pasrel and inform the general he may have someway to contact the king first then we will determine how to stop the matrix " nobody objected since they weren't very verse with matrixes

in the pasrel .....

inside the general head quarter he was seated with his subordinate

he had white long hairs he wore a golden armor which covered him from the throat to toe and had a red cape behind "why aren't they back ? " the general asked

"don't worry general they are find " another wearing a red armor and helmet "i hope so I have a bad premonition something isn't right "

just at that time the door of the room was pushed open a guard wearing gray armor covering only his important part rushed in he was out of breath and could barely stand up it was as if he had run of thousand kilometers without pause "general..... " before he could finish a dagger had entered his throat he looked with disbelief in his eyes

the general stood up and and unsheathed his long sword and made a swift horizontal slash cutting the neck of all the subordinate in front of him before they could use their hidden daggers

he rushed to the soldier who had fallen but he was already death he ran out of the head quarter directly after he came out he saw a middle age man with long red hairs in imperial robe behind him 6 people with whom the general was very familiar with 5 the six demons of the east sea standing in the vast plaza looking at him without moving far behind him the general could see flames rising building were burning scream were everywhere he saw unknown people holding hand axe dress in short sleeve shirt with short pants having an " F " tatoe on their torso

they were on killing spree they killed all the soldiers they saw on their road some unfortunate civilians were caught in the middle of the battles he saw a five years old child heart been pierced by the back he opened his innocent eyes and looked at the general as he fell

blood was littering the streets body were seen nearly everywhere the soldiers of the pasrel were still fiercely resisting the enemy the scene in front of him was horrible he had seen a lot of blood in his life as a general but the child he saw dying just in front of him nearly drives him mad from anger

"Ferguson what is this are you rebelling " "i would skin you alive and feed you to the fish "

"general I am not rebelling I am just doing what is necessary for the prospect of vazel " "what did you think that i would lower my self to win your trust come on general who do you take me for " he said innocently "now general ask your soldiers to stop resisting other wise they would all be dead before the spectacle begins "

"you can dream on it " the general took a small crystal who emmited a rainbow radiance "valiant warriors of the pasrel we are been attack by the prince Ferguson together let's drive the enemy back together we would be victorious " his voice echoed in the whole pasrel this starred them up and ignited the flame of revenge in the soldiers of the pasrel still defending

"general your are senfing all of them to their grave you should properly think of it " the general was mad from anger "if you don't die today then i am not fit to general " Ferguson burst into laughter "hahahaha .... be realistic general do you really think you can kill me don't overestimate your self your not more than an insect in front of me " he said nonchalantly "you five go to your post and defend the matrix until it is complete " yes your majesty they all knelt before leaving each to a different direction

the two standing behind Ferguson one was none other than Alphonso in his heavy red armor and lance while the other was a hooded man in long black robe every inch of his body was hidden under the robe "you two can play with him " Ferguson pointed the general then he took the dragon heart and placed it in the middle of his chest his body rose his aura first changed and became purely draconic faint black energy began circulating around him then it rose till it literally pierced the sky the climate changed and the sunny day and clear sky became black . black clouds began to rotate round the black pillar began

the general didn't stay still and charged to Ferguson but the old man and Alphonso blocked his way

on the boat ....

john was on the pont gazing at the direction of the pasrel then he saw a gigantic pillar of black energy raising til it passed the clouds the area in a radius of 1000 of meters was covered by black cloud "no we are late he started the matrix " everybody came out and took a look at the scene before them they weren't too far from the pasrel

"my father is in danger " Elza said a face full of worry her sister was not in better condition "prepare yourselves for battle elly you would stay on the boat rai stop the boat here we would use a bark to reach the pasrel " elly refused she grip his dress and refuse to let go you "you silly girl you font leave me any choice " he gave her a small hit on her back neck she wanted to say something but fell unconscious he carried her to a room and placed her gently on the bed then coveted her with a blanket "i would be back soon " he murmured in his ears before going out . after ordering in a commanding tone he went to pick his bag and all his belongings

he was dress in complete black wearing only his zed camouflage and nothing else he hoisted his sword of chaos on his back took his blade before jumping in the bark followed by rai , Raul , Elza , Elsa , and zeth
