It was something Zeion couldn't remember at all; all he remembered was the pain in various parts of his body that lingered as memories.While trying to recollect, Henberg carefully observed Zeion's face. He was greatly impressed by the youth's body, which seemed unaffected despite being attacked, but he was a bit confused by Zeion's condition.They then took a moment to rest, Zeion felt hungry and lacked the enthusiasm to do anything."Ah... it's been a long day," he said, gazing at the vast sky."Hehehe... here, take this..."A yellow fruit was tossed, and Zeion's eyes were fixed on it for a moment, admiring its smooth skin."Why? Eat it, I haven't poisoned it..."Upon hearing that statement, Zeion felt a bit less worried. He was also confident that his body would neutralize any poison.Slowly, Zeion peeled the fruit, which Henberg watched intently. Suddenly, Zeion stopped and looked back at Henberg."What?""What?" Henberg asked in return."Uh... I mean, why are you staring at me?"
Zeion couldn't comment much on the story told by Henberg; it was clear that what had been uttered was a tale beyond his imagination.There were still too many mysteries, but he was somewhat grateful to meet people with abilities who didn't wish him harm."However, if I think about it, you seem to be lucky! You seem to have a lot of luck to still be here, even able to breathe easy..."After all he had experienced, Zeion felt that those weren't the right words. His breath could easily be choked by any opponent with bad intentions."I'm still curious, why do I have to accept such a condition? Why should powers like this choose someone like me?""I can't provide an answer like that, but it's clear that if you're chosen by the universe, whether you like it or not, you have to accept all of this, and if you resist, it will also have a negative impact on your condition..."Zeion felt lazy to hear those words; his face looked sideways with displeasure.Henberg then spoke again, "I'm here to g
Zeion's body entered a state where all his powers had to work together to withstand and retaliate against attacks; each of Gilbert's strikes had a devastating impact.Just like Zeion, it took only a short time for Gilbert to approach Zeion and deliver a powerful kick. Then, they continued with a flurry of exchanges through punches and successive attacks.Without pause, without a time limit, and without any desire to stop, they continued."Very good. I thought you were already prepared enough for this, but Zeion, it seems you've forgotten something important!"Whoosh...Gilbert sneaked behind Zeion, easily noticed by Zeion who quickly released a punch backward, but unfortunately, it was just a trick.Dash...What he actually wanted was a tactic to charge with full force from the side; Zeion's rib felt crushed by Gilbert's blow, causing him to stagger and fall about 3 meters."Ugh..." It felt like he had swallowed poison yesterday, but the effect quickly subsided; he couldn't think on t
Zeion still had to wait again in the field, now the atmosphere had changed drastically, and the green grass that once filled the location had become a mess. There were many traces of explosions and destruction from the previous battle session."Once again, I have to wait here, it's quite boring to wait like this, but what else can I do? After a few more days, if there is no change from all this, I think leaving would be the right thing to do..."Not long after, the sound of footsteps approached his location. And, this time it wasn't Henberg who came but Gilbert covered in bandages, his right hand and head wrapped. In his left hand, he carried a basket. Zeion only glanced at the basket, curious about its contents."Yo..." greeted Gilbert awkwardly.Zeion looked at him with surprise, wondering where the arrogance he had seen earlier was. This time, he seemed like a naive child without hope.Zeion stood up, facing the town again, feeling the comforting breeze relieving his fatigue.As if
Curious about Drick's cautious demeanor since earlier, Noir's eyes caught sight of an old man steadily walking through the forest, advancing towards the dense foliage."What is that person doing? Why is he here?" Drick inquired, carefully observing the figure.Skillfully, they trailed the person until reaching a rather dense location where hardly any animal sounds could be heard.The silence was unsettling, compounded by the fact the person they followed stopped in the middle of that location."Huh..."Not long after, a surprise attack emerged, as the old man's hand conjured a bright portal unleashing a powerful energy blast.A bright silhouette soared high into the air, instantly toppling trees. Even from a distance, Zeion turned with a surprised expression."What was that? Did something happen?" With minimal information, he had been stationed there for three days, attempting to control the energy flow within his body to avoid attracting attention. However, his concentration shattere
Gilbert falls down instantly after receiving this attack, his eyes still able to see trying to understand the situation around him. His body felt pain all over to rise from this suffering."Hah... do you think the power you possess is enough to face me? You should know that your abilities are still very lacking!" Drick taunted."Yes, you're right! I am indeed far from perfection, but I still have the determination to fight!" His body was not quite capable of standing, but he still tried stubbornly and stood with a face radiating seriousness."Uh... so you are indeed a young man with unreasonable sanity!" For Drick, this was a rare entertainment, usually the opponents he faced would immediately collapse and lose consciousness, but here it seemed that even if his weak opponent remained tough. There was a sense of dread for him.Gilbert's hand pattern performed a rhythm, moving in a very concise path, and then he released a sharp wind blade. Rolling in a fast sliding condition.Such a th
Zeion's hand trembled after trying to withstand the attack; he stared intensely at his hand. Somehow he had to express this; the power he had just experienced felt far from what he had imagined.Tsssh...The strange sound emanated from the axe being dragged towards Zeion; once again, Drick wasted no time, he raised the axe until...Crash...Zeion's body was struck by this attack, blood could spread rapidly. He immediately avoided it by leaping away; his body felt sore, clearly affecting his mobility to continue fighting."What kind of power is this? This person is amazing; with such ability, his strength can even penetrate the protection inside my body!""Hehehe... what's wrong? Are you scared after being hit by my attack earlier? You seem to be full of fear..."The provocation only brought a smile to his lips, seeming indifferent to it."You still have time to show me something like this, don't you realize your own condition?""It doesn't matter; if this is the day I die, then I will
After engaging in a prolonged battle, Henberg began to realize the opponent in front of him was not just an enemy that could be deceived using a substitute body.Swift movements toward him, and slashes based on perfect arcs occurred.Tings...The buzzing was so loud it made the hairs on his neck tremble, but Henberg managed to throw himself far enough away. Even though, he struggled to stand again."What kind of power is this? How can such immense strength exist within his body?"What was visible was not just a manifestation of great power, but a horror concentrated in one place, spreading to every organ. The deadly aura could suffocate the air around him."Enjoy your days, I will soon end this..." Noir then moved at high speed, within seconds appearing in front of Henberg.Swungs...His sword slashes had a significant impact, it was clear that Henberg's body was split, but unfortunately, it was only a substitute body.Crash...It wasn't a hundred percent avoidable; the process of usi
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
