Old enemies

after they reached the beach of the island everybody disembarked and ran to the entrance of the pasrel from there they could see the black pillar more clearly . the metallic doors were completely open the soldiers who were usually there were no where to be found dead body were everywhere near the entrance blood was littering the ground the scene was horrific even john who had seen dead body in the first dungeon compering the two was like paradise and hell was overwhelm the stench of blood was so dense he had hard time to adjust the only person who stood undisturbed was zeth "lets continue moving we can still stop this massacre " he said as he rushed forward after organising their thought they all followed him their direction were the pillar of black energy originated

as they ran forward they came across two groups fighting one was Ferguson people and the others were the pasrel soldiers "get out of my way " "thousand air blade slah "zeth said as he rushed pass all of them when he passed them all the enemy soldiers were sent flying with halved bodies the pasrel soldiers were grateful he had saved a lot of them john and the rest continued to run following behind they could see building been ravaged by flames it was extremely chaotic

while running in front of them was a group of civilian been cornered by another bunch of Ferguson soldier above them a building was crumbling and a block was about to smash them into meat paste

"rai the block , Raul the civilian " rai dashed and jumped his legs were covered with black energy with a turn kick bam.... the block was smashed to pieces Raul moved forward and with swift movement of his fencing sword all the enemy fell lifeless to the ground "thank you " the children and the adult with them answered

they couldn't save everybody but could at least save those they cross on their way "Elza and Elsa please regroup all remaining soldiers with the ability to fight and organise the resistance " john asked them this because they were more familiar with the pasrel and the civilian and the soldiers would listen to them more easily also their combat prowess was nothing extraordinary they would be of little use "okay be careful " they both went in the left direction and left the group

zeth , Raul , rai ,the princess and john continued forwad

meanwhile....

in the main plaza

the general was half knelling and held his sword trying to get up he was covered in blood his armor was completely destroy only his forearm still had armor he was in an extremely sorry state

the hooded man stood in front of him then clench his fist and prepare to deliver the killing blow

just at that time a figure appeared in front of him and caught the punch with his left hand the impact cause the imperial robe of the old man to blow the wind caused blew the general several steps backward he had short white hairs and a long beard "your majesty "

the general said as he tried to get up "don't move I will handle this " he said as he delivered a punch on the the man stomach sending him crashing in a building behind him

the king was strangely calm "Ferguson you have disappointed me " his voice was angry but not loud "so it was you that year " Ferguson who was still basking in the light of the black pillar said " DAD your are there perfect the spectacle can continue what do you think if you had simply gave me the throne according to herichachy I am the elder , but no you had to respect that dam tradition of yours " he said as he increase his volume to be more domineering "anyway that doesn't count anymore you would all die I would obtain ultimate power and I will reign indefinitely on vazel isn't that more interesting what do you think dad "

"you are blinded by your desire for power you can still stop this " he asked again still with a gentle tone "you speak to much make him close his mouth "

the man face was been reveal he had the face of a young man of not more than 20 with short black hairs "it has been a while since the last time " the king looked surprise for a moment

"I defeated you the last time and I would still defeat you " the king said as he took of his imperial robe and revealed his thin muscular body he had a dragon drawn on his back his aura exploded it was like the dragon came to live his muscle bulged and contracted on his left rib a mark could been the skin there was as if it had been burned and was very tight "that was when you were alive because now you are just a walking dead , an empty shell with no power you could had kill me in the past but I would really like to see how you defeat me " he said as his robe was blown revealing his bare upper body his aura increased the ground under his feet broke and created fissure who extended at rapid rate then his body ignited with flames "if I could stay king of vazel for so long it is not only because of my blood " he dashed forward the ground under his feet exploded with each step he arrived in front of the young man and delivered a punch with his right hand the young man counterattack with a punch his arm was covered with flames

boom.....

upon contact flames were dispersed a storm ravaged them surrounding the king gave him an upper kick on his lower jaw at lighting speed bam...chained by a turn kick bam.... the gave gave him a left hook bam... followed by a right hook bam... every hit upon contact with the man body produce a raffal of air that blasted the pieces of debris nearby by it was as if he had grown reactors of a space engine

the young man had a hard time to adjust with the speed of those attack each and every one of them had the perfect combination of both power ans speed.

the young young man made a back flip then extended both his hands "thousand flames pinch " and released a huge amount of flames covering the whole king and his escaping area the flames formed thousands of huge flames hands and bombarded the king with lightening speed

"dragon claw " the king hands took the form of a claw and was recovered with golden aura he launched his self in what resemble a rafal of meteorite with one attack from his claw he olibrated all the barrage of flamed punch boom.... he came on the other side it was like he was coming out of hell the flames didn't affect him the slitless and delivered a claw attack on the young man stomach sending him crashing in two successive building

he then stood still "i told you I mat not have the power I has in the past but it is more than enough to deal with you " he said since the beginning his facial expression didn't change the slightest he was still frighteningly calm

the young rushed out of the debris and jumped delivering a powerful flame kick at the kings head "you speak to much "

the king caught his leg in mid air and smashed him to the ground boom..... a large scale crater formed the young man spet a mouthful of blood

the young man placed his hands and got up like a tornado exyending his two legs and landed a double fire kick on the king head as he got up bam...bam....

then he made a double back flip the kick face changed as he spet a mouthful of blood he frown his brow he was really angry he harder his teeth and rushed to the young man before he could react and caught him by the head using his right palm the young man face was completely covered by the palm as if it was a basket ball then the king smashed him hard on the ground boom..... the flames on his body were dispel for a moment a huge crater had formed the fissure extended widely then the king continued by launching a barrage of golden punch on his face bam...bam...bam....bam....

the young man had placed his forearms on his face blocking all the attacks the speed was so overwhelming that his flames didn't even have the time to gather themselves around him a wind storm was form

then the young liberated an uncotralable amount of flames forcing the king to distance himself as he stood up

"your power has nothing to do with what it is you can also be considered an empty shell the price you have paid for that young body was surely very harsh "

"i said shut up " he levitated with flames under his foot then he began spinning round the king at in credible speed creating a fire tornado with the king trap inside he then descended with his left leg on the king it resembled a falling asteroid the king raised his forearm above his head and in a cross form and blocked the attack

boom....

exactly at that time the princess, rai , Raul , john arrived on the plaza they saw from were the gigantic pillar of black energy originated they could see a figure in it they didn't even need to think to know who it was the residue of the flame was charging at them destroying everything on his way "brother " zeth shouted when he saw his brother in a so dangerous position

"father " when she saw her father with blood she yell historically without taking into consideration the attack charging at her

"CORNELIA...." he allowed the kick to land on his left shoulder then he clapped his hands bang.... the force created a sonic storm which dispelled all the fire charging at the princess and the others the king facial expression had a dramatical change he was in pain he half knelt and spet blood continuously his shoulder was completely burned the wound he had on the rib opened once once and dyed the ground red under his feet

the young man jumped back ward and had a satisfactory smile on his face "that has always been you biggest flaw you are too kind "

the princess ran to his side but before she could get near "dont move closer Cornelia the matrix has five important pattern each found at the extremities of the pasrel each and everyone of them is guarded by a one of the five demon of the six demon destroy them and it would stop the matrix " the king said as he slowly stood up "go now bring your friends it is the only way of destroying the matrix and saving the people of the pasrel go now " he added

john came near the princess and urged her "princess we have to move if we waste more time we wouldn't be able to stop the matrix anymore " she noded and stood up

at that time they all heard a course draconic voice originating from the pillar john raised his head and took a look

he couldn't clearly see Ferguson but he could clearly see the part of him began changing a long red tail extended his hands began to change to claws it was a slow but visible process

then under the red patterns started extending like a spider web the focus was directly under the pillar

"hurry up zeth help them and destroy those patterns now " the king urged in an angry and loud voice his voice took them back to their sense

"we will separate everyone of you will head to a specific pattern we are only four the first to finish heads immediately to the other now princess follow me " he took the princess by the hand and began running to the left direction "after we finish let's regroup here " john said as he went to the right direction

rai went to the south west while rail went to the sound east

the battle to save thousands of people had started
