Arc 4 Chapter 4.8 ( The Abandoned ) semi ending
In the second floor of a tea house . A blonde slender man wearing black double breasted baroque style suit could be seen twirling his fingertips on the small porcelain cup. He suddenly jolted in alarm and looked at the north direction where there were supposed to be a battle going on . He is currently still in the central capital with his secret lover , Doze , but he suddenly sensed a foreign existence's presence .
Naturally , both Mo Xun and Qiang Quiyue took notice of the foreign presence too . Although Qiang Quiyue might not understand this feeling , he could feel the malicious intentions of this being.
Crimson eyes shoned in the dark as his sharp nails subconsciously showed and scratched the wooden bench . Mo Xun immediately went to calm him down .
Uno immediately opened up a portal towards the borderline to guard his master . Uno also panicked because of the possibility of their mission getting failed.
A threat has come!
--
In these past few months, the war between the two empires became more and more intense . Several outstanding heroes then shined brightly and showed to each other each of their abilities .
New infantries were also now baptized by the pool of bloodshed that occured in the battlefield . More and more soldiers were wounded , and several people lost family relatives and close comrades .
The whole battlefield were gloomy and heart burdening . The pressure that they experienced and the sorrow they felt towards their deceased comrades . All of these scenarios entered the eyes of a certain prince .
Whenever they were dangered to be defeated by the enemy , the third Prince would move and assassinate high ranking officials to lower the morales of the enemy camp .
The death count keeps on rising and there was even a situation where a soldier had turn insane from the heavy pressure of the battlefield .
Everyone fears death , and so are these soldiers . No one wanted to die and everyone strides to survive . But there are some people that were destined to die and destined to survive .
In this current wave of attack , The prince led his division to fight off the general of the enemy .
The long haired boy held his huge sword effortlessly and stared at the blonde man in front of him . Blue eyes stared back at him carrying with it a hint of oddity .
" Zone Blake Feinars ... Been a long time since i had last saw you ."
Qiang Quiyue frowned , the whole battlefield was silent as the two high ranking military officials confronted each other .
" Who might you be ? Stranger . "
That blonde man covered his mouth softly and chuckled. " It seems that the rumor that your memory has a gap was indeed true and everytime you reincarnate, you cannot bear to withstand the restrictions of the law of the world and loses memory . "
" What a pity , your soul is so tenacious , just like a cockroach and it really irked us to be sent to deal with a filthy being like you again and again . "
_ filthy being like you _
_ was he talking about me? _
_ why am i filthy? _
" What made you think that i am filthy? "
Qiang Quiyue gripped his sword and stared at the blonde man with an uncomfortable gaze .
His lover is watching from behind ...
_What is this guy talking about? Why am i filthy?_
" What? Aren't i right? You are a being that was born from the darkness , evil , and cruelty ... everything that depicts negativity . You're a demonic being that everyone despises ."
" Where have you heard that from? What made you sure that i am indeed born from negativity? You spoke of things that were not even proved correct! Have you ever known everything? Every details of how i was born? The reasons why i was born? And why do i even exist? "
Qiang Quiyue couldn't help but burst out and stomp his sword on the ground as he pointed his index finger towards the mysterious blonde man .
Tears started flowing down his cheeks as fragments of memories flashed within his eyes .
" Why ... Why do you even want me dead? Have i ever done anything wrong ? Why do you keep on meddling with my life? "
The blonde man looked behind Qiang Quiyue and suddenly laughed .
" Pathetic ... Even up till now , Zone still cannot let this realm agent go? Do you know what crime you have done to have angered the terrifying force of the realm agent organization? Zone? "
Qiang Quiyue gritted his teeth .
What sin have i done?
Is it something connected to the dream he had before in his past life? . Qiang Quiyue couldn't help massaging his throbbing temple .
" I don't know what you are talking about , mr. Stranger "
The said stranger smirked and pointed his finger to the very same blonde man far away who was watching them .
" Wasn't he the reason of your current situation? Ask him , and that naive Doze boy , wasn't he the one you made to bind Jiro to your side? Realm agents can reincarnate anytime they want to without any help of a fake system . You illegally captured a holy being , Qiang Quiyue ... Or should i say , Zone and you are still asking what you have done?"
" Not only were you a threat to our Lord God , the Realm Agent Organization also regarded you as their mortal enemy . "
Uno trembled when he heard the men of their enemy spoke of their past . He glanced at Jiro and Zone with panicking eyes .
Zone glanced at Jiro with an unbelievable expression .
_ don't believe him _
_ don't believe that man!!_
" You are talking nonsenses . "
Zone doesn't dare to look behind him anymore and chuckled .
" If you are here to fight me then fight me! "
Zone unsheathed his sword and glared at the blonde man with hostile eyes . " You were so arrogant , let me see wether you can still remain arrogant if you fight me . "
Three phantom tails with different colors suddenly appeared behind the small figure of the young man . His form then gradually becomes taller as his eyes turned bloody red .
He lifted the giant sword within his hand and slashed it forward with force . The ground suddenly shaked as a huge split suddenly appeared passing through the body of the blonde man .
The blonde man unfortunately immediately stabilized his body and turned away from the ground that was plot by Zone's raw strength .
" I'm not yet finished! "
Zone immediately discarded the giant sword and bend his knee to gather momentum and jump towards the man's direction . The speed of his body traveling from place to another place was so quick that it almost looked as if he was teleporting , disappearing through thin air and suddenly appeared at another place as if he was there for a very long time already.
The blonde man's eyes then turned cold as feathered wings suddenly appeared behind him and flew up . A holy sword then suddenly appeared within his hands and parried the sharp claws from the hands of the fox that just leaped up .
Raw strength pushed his body down as Zone lifted his claws again to strike the blonde man .
" Don't overestimate your current power Zone! Even if you don't care about this world's consciousness restrictions . This world was not the same as the lenient consciousness of the former world you lately reincarnated at! "
" Do you really think i care about those low ranking deities who just transcended through sheer luck? Their blessing is nothing but a speck of divinity for me!! I can swallow them whole if not because of the things that you all have done to me! "
Zeke gritted his teeth in anger and lifted his sword to counter-attack . Yet a red colored tail suddenly slapped his body and pinned him down unto the ground .
---
" Immediately go away from them! "
" Run!!! "
" ... Deities? Is this the end of the world already?--- "
" Fucc , wake up or you'll get your weak body crushed by their powers . " a soldier dragged the dazed and overwhelmed soldier with him away from the battlefield of the two god like existences .
A white haired old man calmly watched the fight from a far together with the trembling military officers behind him .
" These gods ... Immortals were actually really true? "
Great General Lin nonchalantly answered . " Aren't our mysterious internal qi bestowed upon us by the gods above? I'm afraid that those existences were a type of god that could contend to our all mighty god that bestowed us the ability to cultivate . "
" The energy they possessed weren't similar to our qi . ",
Lin Jun nodded in agreement . " I can feel that their power held some resemblances to the mana possessed by the western people . I have always wondered where is the origin of the western people's power and who is the god that bestowed them that power . But it really seems that there's not only one god in the world . "
The military officers behind nodded in agreement and fearfully watched the destructive battle of the two existence .
" I just can't believe that your grand son was actually a deity . "
Great General Lin shook his head and inwardly thought. _ I doubt that he was really my grandson ._

Doze immediately flashed towards Jiro's direction and pulled his hands .
" Master , let's immediately depart from here . "
Jiro glared at Doze . " The mission has yet to be completed Doze , how can you be so selfish as to think about your own self first? Can't you see that my wife is in danger! "
" But ... Master , i think Zone would never let you be endangered just like what happened before . "
" That's bullshit! " Cursed Jiro and flicked his sleeves to get rid of Doze's hold on his wrist .
" Go escape by yourself! Don't think that i did not heard what that man said earlier. "
A hint of panick suddenly flashed upon Doze's face. Jiro stared at Doze intensely and suddenly grasp his neck tightly .
" Tell me , were his words true? Was he telling the truth? "
Doze felt his lungs tightening from the lack of air . " M-master! "
Jiro's mind right now were clouded by rage and disbelief . Jiro's state of mind right now could be perceived by Doze making him more panicked for his true master , Zone .
" Tell me Doze!!! "
Doze teared up , Jiro was so scary and he could feel Jiro's sealed ability slowly being released because of the seal's weakening .
_ this is bad! Once Jiro escaped from the restriction , master would turn berserk! _
" Jiro!!! Don't do that!! Zone ... Zone ... Zone will get panick!!! "
Jiro couldn't understand what Doze was trying to say because of his grasped neck .
" You have actually been fooling me for a long time? What's your purposes? Hah? What are you intentions of doing this to me? "
Doze cried out . " We don't have any malicious intentions , Jiro . "
Jiro let Doze go and disappointedly looked at Doze and shook his head in sarcasm .
" I love Zone ... But I can't understand his true thoughts . "
" Does he really love me? "
Jiro clenched his fist . " Was he just fooling me? I love him , but i also hate him at the same time. "
" Doze , tell me ... If Zone sent you to be binded to you . Was there any hidden intention of it? Was he using me? Was he just using me to his benefits? "
" Master, why are you doubting Zone? "
" I don't know!!! "
Jiro grabbed his throbbing head and crouched down in pain . " I don't know!!! I cannot understand it anymore!! I don't have any idea!!"
The first time he realized his love for Zone , he has been regretting that he didn't get to confess and live peacefully with him .
In the second world , his heart was always broken and hurt and the feeling of your heart being squeezed by an invisible force was unbearable for him .
In the third world , someone with a mysterious origin meddled with their life that caused him and Zone to be separated again .
Doing this cycle of meeting and being separated again . Jiro almost felt his mind going insane .
He has been waiting , waiting to find Zone for a long time in their last world .
And now that he met Zone again in this world , he just want to be with him peacefully and live for a very long time .
But the revelation of his trusted aide , Doze shocked him .
Zone ...
Just what is he?
What crime have he done?
And why did Zone sent Doze to his side?
Why was his ability restricted?
Why?!!!
A pair of crazed crimson eyes locked unto the clouded minded figure of Jiro . Cold hands suddenly lifted his chin .
The cold hands that was grasping Jiro's chin was full of blood . Held within his other hand was the head of the blonde stranger .
Creepy smile suddenly surfaced upon the man's beautiful kissable lips .
" Honey ... You are doubting me ... Hehe right? "
Jiro widened his eyes and looked at the demonic being in front of him . His neck was suddenly grasp as cold lips forcefully pressed against him.
Bloody hands captured the hot large hand of the realm agent and was forcefully put unto the beautiful man's chest.
" You heard this beating heart? It beats crazily for you . Hehe , Jiro ... Don't think of escaping away from me again . "
" You are mine ... You are mine right? Haha right? "
Zone trembledly threw the beheaded head of the stranger and put his palms on both of Jiro's cheeks and smiled crazily as if he was possessed .
" Hey ... Husband , you still love me right? Hahaha ... Y-you . "
" Do you feel disgusted now? Haha now that you heard that man's words? "
Tears uncontrollably streamed down the crazed look of Zone's countenance . _ you will surely leave me again right? _
" I love you Jiro ... Jiro , i know you love me ... Why are you not looking at me with affectionate eyes anymore? What's with that doubting eyes of yours? Remove that doubt away!!! Zeke has put a spell on you! Wake up!! "
Uno covered his eyes as guiltiness clouded his heart again .
_ master , hang in there ... You're being attacked by the curse again . _
Zone smiled sweetly at Jiro . " Don't worry Jiro , those pesky parents of yours won't meddle on our business again . You can only be mine ... Mine ok? They will never take you away from me again . "
" Hey why are you silent? "
Jiro stared at Zone dully then suddenly said . " Did you put a bewitching spell on me Zone? "
Jiro pointed at his own chest . " The chain around my soul . Were you the one who put that on me? "
" Huh? " Jiro blinked and looked into Jiro's soul .
Black ominous chain could be seen coiling around Jiro's soul as if they were serpents that were about to kill him because of its tightness .
Fragments of memories suddenly flashed within his mind .
- Hahahaha , you are finally mine!! -
- master ... You will offend the RA organization if you they ever found out about this . -
- the hell i care? I can do whatever i want in this world . Naturally , i can own any man that i like . Is there something wrong with that? -
When these vague sounds entered Zone's head , he didn't find that there's something wrong with it .
" I only did it because ... Because i love you . "
Jiro looked at Zone with complicated gaze .
" Is it really because of love? "
- this man has good quality of divinity , say Doze , if i slowly absorb this man's divinity . Would i come back to my peak's strength then? -
Zone's heart jumped as his eyes widened .
Jiro stared at Zone with hurt eyes . " You have malicious intentions , Zone . How could you do that to me? -
--
' you're asking why did i fall inlove with you? '
' then i shall reluctantly admit . '
' that i am so foolish as to fall inlove with a twisted man like you . '
' Who had repeatedly broke my heart everytime i try pursuing you . '
' This is enough honey . '
' my heart can no longer be broken again. '
' this time ... I give up '
--
' How long do i have to do my best to change you? '
' i have always thought that i am capable of curing you back to normal . '
' but it was actually just nonsense ... As you continued to go back to being twisted ... Always playing with my heart , making it warm and full of hope yet at the end . You would actually destroy it at the very end. '
' i want to ask you ... Have i ever ... Made your heart beat genuinely for me? '
' have i ever ... Made you fall inlove with me genuinely? '
' throughout the lifetimes that we have spent together ... which ones were genuine? And which ones were fake? '
--
Goodbye ... I don't want to be associated with you anymore . '
- it's already enough ... I give up. -
Those voices came from a prophecy . A prophecy that originated from the last attempt of his future self to remind his past self from harming his husband .
When these voices flashed back again within his mind . Zone's heart started beating fastly as Zone trembledly clutch Jiro's hands .
" No , don't leave me . I love you ok? Don't believe that man . Don't believe him!!! "
Zone knelt down and hugged Jiro's waist . " I can do everything , i can remove the restriction . "
Zone trembledly summoned the chains back and freed Jiro's soul .
But his eyes keeps on tearing up as he stared at Jiro with panicking eyes .
" Jiro ... Hey Jiro , don't leave me . I can do anything and give everything to you. Just don't hate me ok? "
" I'll cherish you from now , i will never hurt you again . "
" Just ... Just don't leave me!!! "
" Aaaaaah!!!! "
Once the restriction was freed . Jiro's soul faded and went to somewhere far away from Zone's detection and sight .
A heart breaking cry resonated throughout the whole former battlefield as the figure of the beautiful man could be seen wailing from heartbroken as he called out the name of his husband who had just left him after he was freed of his restrictions .
" Haha , you left me ... "
" Left ... "
Zone started sobbing as he clutched his broken heart . " Me "
Uno crouched down and covered his face . Doze hung down his head .
" Haha ... Doze , Uno ... You see him? He left me ... Hahaha just like the prophecy!! Just like the prophecy!!! "
" He left?! You see that? he left!!! Hahahahaha "
Zone smiled , them looked at the two figures of his subordinates .
" He left ... I now understand how he felt when i left him in the World of Sealed School of Demons . "
Zone tried his best to cover his weakness and touched his chest weakly . " I thought i would never feel pain and sorrow again . "
" Before , i only thought of Jiro as a feme fatale man that could be discarded and be replaced. Yet i did not expect that he , the one that got hurt because of my unemphathy , would someday break this stone heart into dust . "
" So fine down to the smallest particle . He left ... He really left ... "
" For real , never coming back to me again . "
" Sob ... Haha ... Sob , "
Zone panted and punched his heart .
" It's so painful . "
" Painful to the core . "
" Painful ... So painful ... I cannot breathe .. help . "
* Blag!!
" Master!!! "
Doze and Uno hurriedly went to Zone's direction who has collapsed . Uno cried and hugged his master .
