Then, everything ended with one winner. Slowly Jungko collapsed with blood continuously pouring from his abdomen.As people were still confused about the situation, the referee had to quickly assess the condition of the fighters.It was evident that Jungko hadn't moved since being struck by Zeion's attack."The winner is that tough young man, Zeion...""Whoah...."The enthusiastic cheers rang loudly, but it only made his eyes sparkle."What's this? Why does my head hurt so much..."His entire body reverted to its previous state; the driving energy had vanished, leaving only the returning torment of hunger."Ugh..."Thud...It all ended with bodies sprawled on the ground, confusing the audience once again.Soldiers hurriedly mobilized to take Zeion and Jungko from the arena.There was still a glimmer of consciousness in Zeion's eyes, a moment revealing movements as swift as clouds."Huh... did I succeed? That was a truly tense battle, but now I must endure..."His consciousness couldn'
Knock! Knock!Two knocks on the door made the person in the room immediately turn around, the sound of the door opening revealing eyes locking in a deep gaze."It's you, apparently!"The greeting sounded unfriendly, Zeion's face also turned towards the front.Mily was puzzled by this cold attitude, from the beginning she felt she had done nothing wrong.At this time, her best choice was to ask, "How are you? Are you feeling alright now?""Yes! Now I'm not too bad!" Zeion's gaze spontaneously turned towards Mily. "Before this, I was starving and got into a fight with that man, I thought I would die from my weakening body..."Mily became slightly aware that Zeion's suffering might also be partly her fault.Zeion then added, "Being a prisoner is very difficult! Just to eat will be seen as an attempt to escape..."It became clearer this all started with his decision to be in the mining."I'm sorry," Mily replied, ignoring his gaze."It's okay, it's not truly your fault! I was careless fir
"I came to check on you before returning to battle!"Rebeca continued to approach Zeion, her body ready to defend against Zeion's pure energy reaction.Once again, she wanted to ensure the feel and sensation of that energy. Her fingers started to tremble in reaction, but she refused to abort her intention.Instantly touching Zeion's body, she spontaneously affected her dilated pupils."Different... the energy within his body is not reacting as before! It feels like his body is so warm!"Rebeca's grip felt very sticky, forcing Zeion's head to turn.Her gaze was focused on his shoulders."Is something wrong?" he asked.Blinking while shaking her head a few times. "No! Nothing at all! It seems like your body is already in perfect condition, no big problem!""Is that so..." Zeion's own body didn't den
Not much different from before, after walking together with Mily, Zeion had to be in the waiting room with the other fighters.Every inch of the location was observed it seemed as if some people were still there and others had gone."So out of the many participants, only 6 remain! Is this the final match after this? No, perhaps there must be another match to determine the first position...""Whoah..."In the arena, cheers were so loud, they were so excited as the referee entered the field."Thank you to those of you who still have the spirit to attend this match! Now we are in the semi-final round, after this, we will determine who will advance to the final battle! Of course, there will only be one fighter who will earn the title of the winner..."The shouts of the audience increased.Without further ado, the referee and the soldiers quickly announced who would fight that day.One by one names were drawn from a jar, and they were arranged specifically. The participants could only wait
Not avoiding, but rather Zeion's hand instantly parried Izmo's attack, giving off a strong recoil."This is my chance..."In the still ongoing momentum, Zeion's right hand had already prepared high-pressure energy to be launched.There would be no chance to dodge it; if hit by this attack, Izmo's body would surely receive the same damage as before."With this, I will win the fight..."A punch resembling a snake in a perfect arc aimed at Izmo's face, her eyes sharply staring at the fist.Izmo's pupils seemed to shrink momentarily.Kaboom...All was then scattered by the explosion accompanied by thick smoke, Zeion's body was thrown back, but he remained unwavering"What was that? My punch should have hit her face directly, but skillfully, she managed to avoid it..."Certai
The technique Izmo used was the same as before, sneaking behind her opponent to deliver a powerful impact.But, this time she didn't use a sword. It's unclear whether she would draw any other sharp object.But...Crash...Zeion's back was heavily struck by Izmo's attack, causing him to stumble forward. Zeion swiftly regained his balance and swung backward.Swungs...Tings...It seemed like Izmo had predicted this moment. When Zeion swung, the energy blast's trajectory shifted upwards, almost injuring the spectators.The sword slipped from Zeion's hand, floating above before falling downward at high speed."Darn it, she's cleverly set up this plan! I've been too careless; when facing each opponent, I must be cautious!"In a decisive position, the sword awaited Izmo's grasp.
"Huh... do I have to keep being checked for mere things like this?" Zeion complained to Rebeca who was examining his body.Quickly, Rebeca stopped the flow of energy enveloping her palms."Of course, it's normal! You know yourself that everyone has to do something like this, no matter if it's you..."His gaze conveyed a mysterious dread, feeling as if the air was choking him, Zeion immediately exhaled a breath."I hope after this my body will be okay..."Zeion slowly lay down as Rebeca instructed, the room's ceiling accompanied by bright light seemed to reflect the previous events."Why do I feel like that woman isn't herself? It's as if she's being controlled by something I can't understand..."Even though she was unconscious, he was sure Izmo's power was really different from before. They didn't even communicate as proper opponents shou
No one could prevent the hair on the back of their neck from standing as they watched this battle; its mere existence it had already thrown the area into chaos."Amazing, both of them possess strengths that are difficult to compare! Their power seems to exist on drastically different levels!" murmured Zeion, his pupils inadvertently shining brighter.Unlike Keizar, who personally felt pressed by the situation, being confronted with such a massive creature undoubtedly posed a high-level difficulty.Jean's scrutiny of him was intense, a sign of disdain indicating that his power was still not sufficiently high."Very well, if he considers me still incapable of defeating that monster, then I will prove him wrong..."The atmosphere began to change again, everyone tensing up as gusts of wind enveloped Keizar's body.People struggled to hold their ground against the
Desmon increasingly felt as if his body was permeated by an energy flow that was difficult to explain. He didn't receive any explanation from Zero. However, that wouldn't make him just sit alone. He focused the energy in his right hand and delivered a deadly blow.Dash...The attack hit Zero's face perfectly. Although the blow landed heavily on his face, Zero's body remained unmoved."I can touch him, that means he has summoned energy within his body to sustain this!" The more Desmon realized this, the stronger the energy's presence that permeated his body became. Desmon took the opportunity and kept hitting Zero's face until it bled, but still couldn't make Zero flinch.However, one sharp glance immediately sent shivers down Desmon's spine. The deadly gaze signaled imminent death that seemed to penetrate his body."Wait, what's happening? Why are you staring at me like that?" Desmon asked, still assuming Zero wouldn't respond to his words.And a few moments later, his hands and mouth
At the peak of cultivation, Zero had developed various ways to deal with the formidable powers that could threaten the world, and this was the point where he had to exert all his available energy. He knew it might be impossible, but his perseverance had shown terrifying results.He had mastered almost all elements, and now all elements seemed to want to be on his side.Quickly, Zero attacked, merely raising his right finger, accompanied by a strong wind that condensed into a whirlwind.Desmon's body was immediately struck by the wind, but his legs were still steady to withstand it. Some gravel and rocks aimed at him, but they weren't too important. His body was still protected by an energy shield.Crash...Unfortunately, the desired shield didn’t have resistance against the wind used by Zero."Cih... Groagh..." He immediately responded with a loud roar, the power of sound frequency capable of piercing through anything.Some rocks had formed a barrier to deflect the attack towards Zero
"Nah... Zero..." Zeion interjected during their ongoing training, they often had such small conversations."Yeah, what do you want to say?" Zero asked, sensing Zeion's seriousness."I've noticed that you have high abilities, and usually those with high abilities are afraid or even defeated when faced with pure energy!""Hmmm..." After humming, he chuckled satisfactorily at that question. "Indeed, pure energy is the greatest power in this world!"Zeion sighed, feeling that Zero's words didn't reveal any superiority of pure energy, rather they seemed to consider pure energy as something impossible to achieve."I'll tell you, the power within your body is not the most important thing! In this world, there are many powers capable of balancing pure energy, even stronger!"This knowledge was something Zeion had never imagined; all this time, many people had been afraid to acknowledge pure energy, and many had fought over it like children fighting over toys.Zero wasn't finished yet. He cont
The sting delivered was not just a mere attack; it had caused quite severe effects, to the point where Desmond's breath became irregular."You bastard, he's capable of launching such an attack against me! Why am I completely unable to defeat him?" He tried to observe Zero, who was still surrounded by white energy.Despite possessing pure energy, Desmond felt that Zero's energy was more dominant. The mysterious pressure even caused his entire body to continue trembling uncontrollably.However, it was impossible for Desmond to surrender at a time like this. He dispersed high-level energy, then quickly dashed towards Zero.Thud...The ground trembled; the deathly aura-filled blows could easily be held back. But it wasn't just about holding back; it also created a large gap instantly.Swoosh...Dash...Hard-hitting and impactful blows landed on Desmond's cheek. Unwilling to accept this, Desmond quickly attempted to reply.Swish...Unfortunately, the strength he used was still too early to
Gulp...Nothing could stop Desmon; Zeion's heart had successfully entered his body. Swallowed without any difficulty."Hooh..." The immense power immediately flowed into his body, he could go wild with this strength. "Hahaha... finally, I have become unbeatable! I will dominate this world as the strongest creature..."Tap!This knock was strange, and when he looked, Desmon didn't know why there was a stranger already there, lamenting over Zeion's powerless body."Who is this person? When did he get there? I didn't feel any energy inside his body at all...""Hah... I suspected you still weren't capable of merging with that pure energy!" Zero arrived as soon as Zeion lost the essence of power within Desmon's soul, although faintly, he could still sense it.Just from appearance alone, Desmon could tell that Zero wasn't like Zeion; the energy he possessed was almost invisible."Oi, human, who are you? Why did you suddenly appear here?" Desmon was still kind enough to ask, but he was actua
Dash! Dash! Dash!Their faces were bruised and blue, but their legs still managed to stand tall with the same gaze. Challenging and enticing with death."I never imagined that my strength would be drained facing lowly humans like you!""Do you still consider me a lowly human?" Zeion asked, his eyebrows narrowing, an expression he had restrained since earlier, but now he seemed fed up with Desmon's attitude.Desmon proudly smiled, successfully provoking Zeion's emotions. "I thought your emotions had vanished, but it seems you are still just a fragile human! Let me tell you, humans are too arrogant, always thinking their lives are truly filled with righteousness, but in reality, they are nothing but weak creatures who always oppress the weak! They are not worthy of living in this world..."Zeion didn't understand Desmon's purpose in saying this, but he would still say, "Yes, what you said is true, humans are too arrogant! I was surrounded by people who were too arrogant before, even bor
"I hope you will succeed in doing it!" Zero said, looking ahead. Earlier, he had only briefly spoken with Zeion. But now, only the silent wind accompanied him.With his increasingly wild pure energy, Zeion controlled everything very well. He soared through the air like a bullet, heading towards a point. The increasing energy felt threatening, and as soon as he arrived, as expected.Many people lying in pain, though unseen, the pain they caused was still visible."Hahahaha..." Desmon laughed satisfactorily, but also felt a chill at Zeion's appearance. The aura of majesty sent shivers down his spine, however this sensation was what he desired."Were you the kid from back then?" he asked, his tone intimidating."Yes, the kid you've been targeting for so long, sorry to keep you waiting!""Good, you understand! Pure energy is a power that should rightfully belong to someone great, and the most deserving to possess it is me...""Does it really have to be that way?" Zeion asked, still wearin
This bright light shone on Desmon's body, his eyes still trying to observe his surroundings, attempting to digest the situation that was happening."What are these three going to do? They were just standing still earlier, and now suddenly they're moving!" Desmon then realizes that his body is beginning to harden, his entire body slowly turning to stone, he watches as everything unfolds."You scoundrels, so this is what you planned! How dare you do this to me..." he says loudly.It's pointless; these three won't be afraid or back down; now all processes must be completed immediately. The power begins to spread to every joint, making their bodies increasingly difficult to move."Sleep there, and never return to this world, demon..." Houjin says in his heart, already too sick to witness Desmon's every action.Tap...Unfortunately, Desmon is too skilled to be conquered. Rather than lamenting the fate that awaits him, Desmon instead exerted his energy to charge at one of the hermits, aimin
Yelia's eyes couldn't blink, finding it hard to believe this was all real. The figure that should have been dead from her attack seemed to return, this time floating without any effort."It's impossible. The attack I used earlier should have succeeded in destroying his body, but why is he still free to do as he wants"The most logical answer had crossed her mind; it was a manifestation of Desmon's greatness.Right within the space that was supposed to lead to the realm of torment, Desmon rebelled, causing his immense energy to disrupt the existence of that energy, finally resulting in his current state.But...He landed on the ground again, this time assuming a satisfied stance with what had just occurred. Though only for a few moments, his body was already covered in several burns; the hellish realm he referred to quickly took effect on whoever entered it."That was close. If I were weaker, the chances of getting out would be impossible! But thanks to you, I've become more experience
