CHAPTER 5: OUTLIVE OF THE ULTIMATE

Zen started his journey. He was a bit confused about the corps. The route which they had to cover was through the countryside and it involved crossing only two cities. They were not informed about obstacles. Zen decided to run for some time and rest, he followed this algorithm, after all, it's a 6-day long journey and they should only use Hael or walk. If they take any transport facilities then they will be burned by the fire which will be kindled at the moment one enters any transport facilities leaving him/her in an extremely bad condition. He covered 7 kilometres as of now. He reached the first city. He obtained something to eat and resumed the journey, it was the summer season and the roads were very hot as if there was an invisible fire which was blazing. Before entering the countryside village he noticed his fellow participants beaten up and lying unconscious. He noticed two people standing there and the quoth,' to pass you should defeat us. Zen also noticed some bruises on their faces depicting that they were beaten by someone. He agreed to it. And in the blink of an eye, the ultimate hand-to-hand combat had begun. Zen is fighting two people at once and it's very difficult to manage it. Their usage of Hael was on another level. As it is going now, it is becoming harder and harder for him to fight. Till now he was untouched but he started to receive blows in the face and stomach. He was not using his Hael because he had a strategy for triumph. He was cornered but still, he decided not to use his Hael and fight them. He was getting more and more into the fight and with a hit in the head he became unconscious. However, as he was falling after losing responsiveness he observed that the environment had become red and the time had stopped. Nothing was moving nevertheless he was able to perceive the desire of another entity.
