“Long time no see.” He spoke, coming closer but she took a step back, refusing to believe it’s him, this was affecting her mind badly to see him after eight years-…and moreover an enemy.“What- How- How could this happen?” She asked, shaking her head, tightening her grip on her sword, knowing he is number 1 and she had to fight him.“This is impossible.” She whispered, blinking, trying to neglect the reality. “You can’t be alive.” She breathed out, narrowing her eyes thinking someone was playing with her mind.“Then what do you consider what you are seeing?” He chuckled darkly.Opening his hands, snapping his fingers to induce the realization it is not a dream nor illusion.He was truly here and she had to fight him.“It’s you…” She whispered when the painful realization hit her that she had lost him as well.“You chose his side too.” She said, disheartened at his choice of leaving them.“Why does it hurt? Have you forgotten such emotions are not supposed to exist for an enemy?” An
“There it is.” Zadicus breathed out after reaching the cave where it all started and he was there again after eight years. Coming closer, his eyes narrowed in dejection, recalling the unwanted moments which departed his very soul from the world. But, Soon his sorrow was replaced by seethe, coming closer to his target for what he ravaged the whole country. “Eight years. Took my eight year to know your activities.” He whispered, approaching the crystal embedded into a piece of rock with chains around it serving as a seal. It was used to conceal its identity as evil relics should stay where they belong. “And nothing could stop me now.” He whispered again, knowing Aziel’s breaths are dependent on this relic and possessing it will make him superior. “Eight… fucking… years.” A devilish smirk came to his lips, narrowing his eyes at the crystal remembering about the moment where he lost his call. “How can I believe an infidel?” The voice he buried long ago in his head dug again, stirri
“Zadicus.” Persephone called him, the hint of being disheartened in his choices was clear in her voice. Holding the hem of her dress, she walked closer but Zadicus only closed his eyes again, breathing out loudly her name. “Persephone.” Forcing himself to turn he saw the disappointment in her eyes but it can no longer be fixed. The path he has chosen has no return. “So you came to know…” He began to say in a low tone, turning to her, trying to ignore the sorrow in her eyes, hoping to know what he intended to attain by raze. “What do you hope to gain by doing this?” She asked, narrowing her eyes in anguish. Taking a step closer. Her aura emitted woe, refusing to believe that it’s her Zadicus who was once innocent and pure. “What satisfaction devastation will provide you?” Her voice went lower, trembling slightly but Zadicus remained stoic, only registering her words. “It isn’t about satisfaction.” He replied after a prolonged silence, gaining her attention, taking a step as w
“Don’t condemn yourself and the entire Fier to death.” She pleaded, readying to do whatever it takes to halt his actions but this was the extent he could bear.He must stop the intoxication of her words stirring his mind.“Or what?!” He yelled, slamming his hand on the wall, appearing to crack on it, indicating the difference in their power. Exhaling his rage before giving her a predatory gaze.Her breath hitched, taking a step back. It was fine if it was anyone but hearing it from him, startled her for a second. “What do you think you can do to stop me?!” He yelled, losing his breath, barely controlling his overflowing power that was dying to release itself.And her words are only enhancing their intensity.“Mindless of you to assume your words could leave any impact.” He growled, showing the scorn she induced in him.l “Your weakness, these fatuous words. All of them are meaningless. They won’t affect me.” He told her bitter truth, the knitted brows displaying his exasperation.“Do
“Enough, Zadicus.” A strong cold voice came, stopping Zadicus instantly to knock out Persephone.Knitting his brows together, he looked up only to find the least person he wanted to confront there with dead eyes, staring into his, halting his attack.“Kriss.” He called, moving his hand back. Stopping his actions and giving all his attention to him.“I believe you have reached a point beyond limits.” Kriss began to say, scrutinizing the situation knowing he was too late.“And you should stop now.” He added, stopping his death-stare at him, the glint of hopelessness was clear but it’s of no use. “And who do think you are to stop me?” Zadicus asked, arching a brow in amusement.He believed Kriss could never raise his hands against him. He is not that ruthless to subdue emotions and take actions.“Then proceed.” Kriss replied softly, moving to the side, giving Zadicus the access to kill Persephone which stiffed both of them.“Kriss?” Persephone called, thinking she witnessed the wrong si
Back to the Gray Demise who were indulging in the slaughter they were ordered to cause by their Leader, most people made it to the shelter and some fell victim to those predators.“Ah, this is exhilarating.” Ruth giggled after wiping out an entire building of innocent citizens without shredding a single hint of compassion.“My Liege sure is generous today, right, Leona?” She smirked, licking the blood on her fingers, emitting a strong graceful aura, observing the area.“Yeah. I didn’t expect him to order us to go wild but it was a good stretch.” Leona nodded, sitting on the rooftop. “Yeah but sadly, I didn’t get to fight any nobel. Not even one commander.” She whined but relaxed at the moment and let her sister do the work in her stead as well while she wallowed in the beautiful night with a faint smile on her lips.“Maybe he doesn’t feel anything for this piece of land anyways, that's why ordered to rip this apart.” Ruth asked, wiping the blood on her hand and walking to Leona.Glan
And when the orders to retreat were being launched, Daphne was still busy fighting Randall, they were engaging in a fiery battle to stall time for their leaders.They both fought hard to the point of panting badly and being exhausted but refusing to stop before one of them died.“Seems like strict actions have been taken from your side.” Daphne smirked after sensing Imperial guards spreading in the country and killing their people with thundering speed.“You will regret coming here.” Randall smirked, jumping back before registering his next move to end this quickly and go back to his position, this is stretching too much.“I think the opposite, Sir Randall.” Her smirk grew wider, jumping back on the cliff, putting her hand on her waist, noticing the signal on the sky to go back.“Tsk. Don’t call my name.” Randall scoffed, disliking his name on a criminal’s mouth.“Heaven’s Wrath!” Pressing his feet further in the ground, he slammed his hand on the ground and walls began to emerge, blo
Later, a conference was called among the nobles to discuss the damage done to the country which was irrecoverable. “Damn you, Zadicus! His marauding devastated my country!” His Majesty growled, slamming his hand down after hearing the terrible reports taking place. “I apologize, Father. Engaging in a fight or any action could have been fatal for both of us.” Kriss sighed, apologizing for letting him go. Cutting the part he let him go. “No, It’s okay. I surely do not prefer my country to fall apart over a fight.” He sighed, leaning back, holding his forehead due to extreme stress after seeing the crucial state of Aziel. But his eyes fell upon Persephone who held a harsh feature on her face, jaw clenched with dead eyes but smiled, pointing at her. “Ah, I am glad Persephone was there to handle this. I am so proud of you.” The praise from His Majesty caught her off-guard. Her mouth gaped, turning to him, blinking because all her focus was on Kriss’ words and her actions that are i
