Can we guess what has happened to Zeion? Causing chaos in the middle of the city like that is certainly not an appropriate action. Whether he likes it or not, he has to take responsibility for this.
Led into the interrogation room, there were guards on his left and right, staring intensely.
What was even more irritating was the gaze of the man in front of him; it truly tormented him inside to be continuously stared at.
"Quickly answer, why did you suddenly act like that? Why did you threaten the townspeople?" the man scolded.
"I already said it happened because my money was lost, and the last person I crossed paths with was him!"
On the other side of the interrogation, according to the man's report, the accusations against Zeion were not true.
This has clearly had a negative impact on other people.
"Do you know that because of this, you'v
"Is it true that I cannot be freed from this place?" Zeion shouted upon hearing that statement.Mily was not at all surprised by this reaction; her eyes remained calm, displaying an intimidating demeanor."Unfortunately that thing cannot be done! This problem arose from your own actions, you should realize this place has its own rules! But, you're lucky you didn't engage in even worse actions! If you had, it might have ended in execution…"This did not bring any joy to Zeion. With a weary face, he gazed down at the floor.This was far from what he desired; his original goal of seeking a hermit had turned into a disaster like this. Moreover, Mily's intense gaze explained this situation would not be tolerated by anyone."Truly annoying! Now I have to be inside the confinement…"With a worried expression, Mily looked at Zeion, who seemed resigned t
The answer to all these problems was clear before his eyes; Zeion had to surrender everything he might want to do.He had to be there as a worker, and now it was the fifth day. Sweat poured down every inch of his body, the hot sun never stopped shining on him.Thing... Thing...He wiped the sweat off his forehead, turning slightly to glance at the other workers."Huh... they really seem to treat us like worthless laborers!"Every face present showed no gratitude for all this, faces filled with disappointment. How could they survive? Obtaining the desired quarry was already very difficult, and the payment given did not match the reality.For adult men with hard jobs, one bread wouldn't be enough to fill their stomachs. However, they had no choice but to survive."Can we eat today?" asked a man sitting in the shade, accompanied by his
There was nothing Zeion could do; he had to accept the punishment that had been given. For several days work without stopping, only gathering quarry stones for a piece of bread to survive."From any perspective, this kind of work is too heavy! Huh... it's really difficult to do all this..."Even Zeion's well-trained body would still feel weary with all this, his body in a seated position staring endlessly at the mining wall.Unconsciously, he had channeled a large flow of energy throughout his body, which, if used now, would create a giant crater."Should I just escape from here?" grumbled Zeion."Good afternoon, young man..."This voice diverted Zeion's gaze; spontaneously, he glanced to the right, where an old man was already standing, looking friendly toward him.Seeing Zeion silent, the old man spoke again, "Why? Didn't you hear my gr
"Hah... a massive wall, I feel like I could smash it until becomes a small piece..."Zeion has entered the baseless hallucination phase, tirelessly working under the scorching sun.Even the sharpened mental fortitude of a fighter can still give up to such damage.Three days had passed since he learned that he would be there for some time; the previous competition he wanted to watch was no longer a concern. At this point, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible, no matter what happened."I'll go crazy if I keep working like this..."The environment filled with such misery truly made Zeion feel nauseous."Stupid, don't be lazy to work...""They're doing it again..."Psh...Becoming a horrifying spectacle for everyone, if any worker couldn't do their job, they would immediately be p
With indifference, Zeion walked away; he had no time to deal with this burly man. His entire body was exhausted from today's work, and he longed to lie down and feel the pleasure of stretching his body."Where do you want to go?..."Zeion's shoulder was grabbed, and his body bit turned. With surprise in his eyes, he watched the man in action.Dash...A blow to his face caused the bread in his hand to fall to the ground.Everyone witnessing this fell silent; the punch was powerful enough to make the sound ring.The pain from the punch made Zeion bow his head, staring directly at the bread now mixed with the soil.That was his dinner for today's work, and since earlier, he had been very hungry. All of this was truly tiring for him; after working all day, he had to accept that his bread had fallen."Why did you turn my b
The events of last night were quite chaotic, but Zeion who was exhausted, still didn't realize it all. More precisely, he didn't care; it would be more better for him to sleep soundly and eliminate the fatigue.By the time morning arrived, unnoticed changes had already taken place. Other prisoners seemed reluctant to cross paths or make eye contact with Zeion. They chose to avoid him."What are they doing? Humph... it's annoying; I shouldn't be here..."And, in the next few hours, Zeion mined stones as usual, showing no signs of fatigue despite not eating anything the previous night."Damn, if it weren't for that guy, I would have had a meal!"Gruu...The rumbling continued in his stomach; he couldn't stop the noise. His body wasn't as agile as before.This continued until break time, where he sat, staring at the mined rocks. It never hap
Slowly every eye pupil tightened, as a man appeared in the midst of this atmosphere.Everyone witnessing it could feel the intense intimidating aura emanating from this man; just looking at his body would give rise to a feeling of wanting to escape."What is this? Why does that person look so intimidating?"The first meeting with Aesyium didn't show anything important, but now Zeion's body seemed to be stirred by the energy fluctuations. He felt as if he was being led to do something that might shake the surrounding area.If not for Hander's warning to control his emotions, he might have quickly stepped forward, confidently showing that Aesyium was someone he could defeat.Aesyium began to glance at each face in front of him, looking insulting and condescending. He even hoped not to linger there.A slight exhale, and some of those who saw his reaction underst
After several hours of this selection process, participants who successfully passed it would be confirmed to participate in the competition.However, this did not make Aesyium very happy. Snorting a few times, he expressed his disappointment that had already engulfed his body."It's hard for me to believe that among these people, there's isn't a single figure worth hoping for!"Most of those who passed the selection were individuals with high criminal records, specializing in robbery and other despicable acts.In the competition scheduled for tomorrow, all the complaints will be not a problem. Every fighter would use their best abilities to survive.One soldier came to report that the selection process was complete.Aesyium did not give a direct response. His face appeared mute, and his hand gently touched his chin, playing hard against his thou
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
