The swift movements executed by Zeion to evade the sword attacks caught the attention of the robbers. Not only that, Zeion used the sword as a foothold to kick towards the man.
Dash...
The fatal blow landed on the man's face, launching him off the horse.
The thunderous sound silenced the surroundings. The other three robbers were confused by what had happened. They had only seen Zeion standing in the middle of the road earlier, but now he was standing atop a horse's back.
"How could he have managed to strike his face?" uttered one of the robbers who had witnessed the events up close.
The leader of the robbers immediately understood that Zeion was not just a young person who had lost their way. His narrowed eyes stared sharply at the young man.
"He's not just a kid. His ability to do what he just did..."
"Insolent brat..."
What appeared was something incredibly unbelievable, a sword that had strong components could be broken using just bare hands.Dash...Zeion's strikes didn't stop until landing on the man's face, splattering blood into the air."How could this kid manage to do that?"It was enough to astonish Zeion; the punch he delivered still kept the man conscious.Blood relentlessly streamed from the nose, several teeth shattered, accompanied by an unbearable throbbing pain.At first glance, Zeion sensed that the man possessed a flow of energy typically used in combat, but its level was too weak.With remaining strength, the man tried to stand again, not to resist, but hoping to escape from there at this distance.In a staggering state, he continued running away."I must survive..."Whoosh
Mily was intensely trying to gauge Zeion's reaction to that question, but what she saw wasn't enthusiasm.His eyebrows lowered sideways with a downcast gaze, clearly indicating a heavy burden on his shoulders.Zeion's reaction undoubtedly startled the girl in the blue dress; she hadn't expected Zeion to appear saddened by her question."I'm not a knight or a fighter, I'm just a wanderer," Zeion replied wearily.Hander's advice to stay alert should be heeded by Zeion; even the slightest carelessness could lead to disaster."Is that so?"Zeion's words made the atmosphere incredibly awkward, and there was no further conversation.Although they had resumed their journey, they wouldn't reach their destination on time.The afternoon had passed, and now they had to face the darkness of the night accompanied by
True, Mily must give the answer. It's impossible for her to let the girl be in danger again; their chances might run out if they act recklessly.Her fingers held her chin, very gently pondering Zeion's attitude. Since their first meeting, nothing suspicious had been observed, just a rather mysterious young man, but...Her eyes tingled when imagining the aura enveloping Zeion's body."For now, there's a possibility that we can trust that young man!"How could she trust Mily's words if what was shown was reflected in doubt?Even though it wasn't expressed, he could witness Mily's worried gaze."If it were up to me, he might be trustworthy!"Mily was shocked by this statement. She, who didn't fully trust Zeion, had to accept this fact."But why does Princess trust that person? Isn't it too dangerous to trust him so
For some reason, the situation became so complicated, Zeion who had just arrived was given such a sharp look.There was no strong reason for him to return that sharp gaze. Perhaps if from the beginning they were enemies, he would quickly have made Mily an enemy."Mily, what are you doing? Why are you acting like that?" the girl in the blue dress reprimanded."Princess, we cannot trust this young man. He might be planning something to hurt you!" Mily replied firmly, never once averting her gaze from Zeion."What is this woman saying? Do I really have intentions to hurt them?"Mily showed no signs of letting down her guard; at any moment, she would draw the sword at her waist and strike Zeion's head with a single step forward."Mily, stop!"This shout startled them both, and spontaneously they turned towards the girl in the blue dress.
Even though aware the energy within Mily's body didn't dominate significantly, at least not like the power Hander possessed. Based on that, he might have felt calm, but in his heart, there was a strong warning that such a thing couldn't be used as a measure.Whoosh...Without wasting much time, Mily swiftly tried to rush toward Zeion.Her sword's blade moved smoothly, its buzz almost touching Zeion's neck. Zeion's eyes could clearly see Mily's seriousness in this fight.Quickly, Zeion performed a backward somersault, keeping his distance from the potential danger."I suspected this young man was indeed very tough! With such agile movements, he manages to evade my sword technique!"Assuming a firm stance, Mily slowly channeled energy into her body, especially into the sword she was holding tightly.Zeion's body shivered watching this stran
In the end, they had to postpone this journey, looking sadly at Mily who was still unconscious.For now, Zeion did his best, giving her medicinal herbs. He lacked extensive knowledge of healing, but fortunately, his body hadn't suffered severe injuries or illnesses.Usually, any wounds or bruises on a body would naturally heal. Even Hander didn't believe in all this.The power exceeded human capabilities, but this couldn't save Zeion forever.And now, he had to take care of someone else. It's a bit of a hassle, but still his responsibility."Huh... How did it turn out like this? I thought everything would be fine!"Since morning, the girl in the blue dress watched as Zeion woke up first, walking away, leaving the two of them there.With great curiosity, she tried to follow Zeion. Despite having to hide behind bushes and trees, she persist
There was no other choice available; Zeion was truly not hesitant to leave himself alone in the forest like this.With hesitant steps, she continued trying to follow Zeion, who moved forward with his eyes fixed ahead."Why does he seem unafraid in an atmosphere like this? Does he really not care about the conditions around him? No, I think he is still alert, it's just that..."Indeed, Zeion currently seemed to be less concerned about his surroundings, his steps merely following the direction of the blowing wind.It felt cold but comfortable; he couldn't decide where this feeling came from, but seeing this situation, it was clear he was in trouble.Bringing an innocent girl into a dense forest could lead to various dangerous scenarios.They stepped carefully, some strange sounds produced by nature making the girl shiver.The dense leaves seemed to welcome them with a chorus of eerie laughter."Hey... shouldn't we go back? We're already too far, Mily might worry if we're not there..." s
However, Zeion never expected that his condition would end up like this. Regret arises from helping Mily and the girl; he had thought after helping both of these girls, everything would be fine. "Huh..." He sighed while gazing at the sky, which appeared so bright, but it seemed like a mockery, mocking his current condition. Previously, he never wanted to use excessive power, but it would still hurt others. "This power is so immense. If I can't control this power..." The fear of hurting others was indeed the primary concern. He couldn't imagine how many people would suffer if this were to happen. After Zeion's blow, Mily was still unconscious. It was nearing evening, and although there was a faint pulse visible, it was still not enough to prove that Mily was okay. Zeion's footsteps brought the girl in the blue dress back to h
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
