Zora did not know how long he lost his conscious, when he got back his sense,
"Yu'er, what happen to Yu'er."
He sit up and ask.
He could not even see clearly where or who were around him.
.
Pat… Pat…
He got patted on his cheek with small hand.
He hold the hand and shook his head to make his eyes clear.
After he clears his eyes he looks at small hand owner.
.
But anyway he knew even without looking at,
"Yu'er, are you alright?" He moves his head left to right and check on little girl.
But no injury found. And he confused.
.
"Emm, I am ok."
"What? How?"
he knew that how powerful is it 'the monkey king punch.' that indirect hit even make his bone werebroken and how could a small girl is alright and no injury.
May be the defence of the armor that she wear?
.
Anyway he is happy and smile while only looking at a little girl.
"You both were too much!"
Zi Mi could not stand anymore.
"What do you mean that we are too much?" Zora
.
"You worried about her and same as she, she haven't left you a bit." Zi Mi
"OK, That! We love each other too much, so what! I love you Xiao Yu." Zora
"I love you too GeGe."
After talking she stand up and huge him.
.
He huge her back while sitting on the ground and look at Zi Mi with the face meaning of
'Do you see' and 'what could you do!'
.
Zi Mi snort but could not say anymore to that sibling.
Everyone walk toward him and come closer.
.
"What happen to her, I definitely felt that she was injury." Zora
"Nope she did not injury a bit. Only one injury was you." Lan Qin Yu (healer)
.
Zora does not argue but
"So what happen to her?" Zora
"Over usage of Mana." Zi Mi answered
"What!!!" Zora got many question for Xiao Yu, but do not want to ask in front of other so he stop.
"She used shield magic but with her rank using high level magic skill cost too much Mana and she faint." Zi Mi
"This is what we thought, because she did not answer what she did. but we assume that would happen." Zi Mi continue.
"Is there no danger in over usage of Mana? I think there would be some?" Z
"Using Mana is sort of same like using your body strength, if you use too much you would faint if it was more you would die."
"How could it back to normal?" Z
"From cultivation, sleep or rest." ZiMi
Zora thinking from the side of logic, and he know there would be more way to get back Mana but…..
.
And she continue,
"I really don't understand both of you, Bother use unknown Metal warrior and sister just start learn magic at age of under ten year old who used high level magic skill." Zi Mi
.
She felt inequality or unfairness, so that, all her suffer came out.
"I am one of the genius in magic, I got always prised for my magic still I could not use higher rank magic from my rank." Zi Mi got (J enter)
.
"I told you, she is special. And correction she is only seven years old. Hahaha am I right, Yu'er." Zora
"Emmm, and GeGe too special." Yu Rou answer.
"Hahahha" he laugh and after that
Zora kiss her.
.
"Ekkkk."
Zi Mi did not knew what should she continue.
.
All other were listen with smile.
When danger is pass away and everyone could smile now.
.
.
"How many dead and injured?" Z
"Three dead, general and Tian Yun got injured." Qin Xing answer
Zora looks at Yang Yin only a light injury.
And Zora understand that magic healing.
And he checks himself and everything is like new.
.
It is good and bad.
Good is good for him, he did not need to suffer aftermath.
Bad is, if other did not know how he was fighting, and they would only think that was easy battle.
.
Zora got up and he give respect and bow to everyone and
"Thank You all for saving our lives." Z
.
"You looks different. You were never polite like that before."YY
"Ohh that I have different personality, rude killer Zora you knew was sleeping now." Z
"What was that??? Different personality???? Rude killer Zora was sleeping????" Zi Mi
"OMG, just a joke ok?" Z
"Arrr." Zi Mi
.
"Now, where are all other people? And what happened to enemies and to us?" Zora
"4 alive and run away. We should have killed the king of Wai." YY
"Which four?" Z
.
"The king of wai, the monkey, Wan cheng, Tu Nang alive." YY
"Who is Tu Nang and what about snake and kicker?" Z
"Tu Nang, missionary carrier(supporter). Snake and kicker." YY
.
"Anyway that is better. I don't want them to die now. I will go and make them suffer before they die. Let them die like that is too much mercy for them." Z
.
Zora did not care who started it,
These enemies did not even know Zora before, and the one who started the attack was Zora but still he wanted them to suffer more.
.
"Where is Fat octopus?"Z
"They all left and Tian Yun went with them to help on the way." YY
"And three people who die? Who are they? I needed to help their family." Z
.
"I would take care of their family don't worry about that." Zi Mi
"How did they die?" Z
.
"The Caster's meteor hit them." Zi Mi
.
Zora faces turn sorrow because he missed to kill the caster at the first time.
"I am sorry, I missed to kill the caster." Z
.
"For that three, don't never sorry about that they disobey the command." Luo Zhan
"What happen?" Z
.
Luo Zhan explained what happen all at that time.
Zora could not even say anymore after he heard what happen.
And his face turn sorrow to wanted laugh but he could not laugh in front of them.
.
Zora looks around and found bodies of dead metal warriors at the end of swam on the hard ground.
.
Yang Yin and other must had carried all of them here with hardship.
"Is that for me?" He ask even though he knew.
.
"Ya, who else for? and you got really bad injured before so that I think you want them."YY
"Yes, I really need them, thank again. And how bad I was in bad shape?" Z
"Only right leg did not broken, nearly most of your bone broken even your back bone. You really reckless if you were normal human you already dead." Zi Mi
"And Back bone broken for normal male mean he so done for but you got back as a new." Qin Yu
.
"And when you arrived you were unconscious in metal form. We never heal like that before. Normal medic could not do a thing." Lan Qin Yu (healer)
"It is general who told us to heal on metal form." Zi Mi
"Lucky that our magic work on your metal form and all heal really fast. If not you would die for sure." Lan Qin Yu
.
"We thought that you would die under The King Wei slashing skill, I never seen lower rank survive from his skill." YY
"AAAAARRRR, Why don't you tell me that was too terrifying skill."
Zora really angry that if Yu Rou did not give him an instruction, he would be cut into pieces.
.
Yang Yin smile bitterly, they knew they overlooks and did not give all information.
"We told you, he skill is very dangerous."
.
"But you did know how detail that skill would do but you did not tell me that." Z
.
"You never ask." YY
"EEKK. But."
Zora stopped he know that was part of his mistake but Zora think they should have told him that kind of dangerous.
.
He is now a bit disappointed, he got a good impression on saving him before and carrying food for him.
"Next time, We would tell you." Yang Yin told him with a kind of awkwardness.
He knew that they miss it too.
Everything were so rush at that time too.
.
"Why do I have to fight next time? I am not fighting."
Zora just making difficult for other because he is angry.
.
"But you promised us, didn't you?"ZiMi
"That was not a promise." Z
"But you told us if we did not touch you or Yu Rou. And we did not cross you." Zi Mi
"Whatever that was not promise." Z
.
"GeGe is lying, He would fight them later." Yu Rou intercept.
Zora face changes.
"EEEkkkk, Betrayer." And lower his head into Yu Rou bosom and rub her, to make her itchy.
"kkekeke," she is laughing and trying to push his head away.
.
After seeing that other relieve, they now sure that Zora would sooner or later fight them and take their country back.
Actually, they all knew that even if they fought with Wai to get their country back, there were no hope.
And they were so desperate but Because of Zora they saw a ray of hope. And they did not want to let it go.
.
"Zora, what kind of skill that you used and hit the Na Tan at the final." Yang Yin asked him.
"The kicker, at the final!!!??? ohhh it is just a punch. Why?" Z
"Is that mean you were not using your full strength before?"
Yang Yin ask him with amaze. And he continue,
.
"If you used that punch and hit my head, I would die for sure in my Metal form."
"You are asking me my secrete?" Z
.
After Zora said everyone face change, this world no one was telling their skill to other.
Zora thought for a while,
This was a big secrete and also that was not,
It was just same as a diamond on the ground too, who knew the precious would took it, if not they left it.
.
And Zora needed friends and alliance, he could fight all enemy alone, but for the safety of his love one.
He needed alliance.
.
"OK, I would tell you my secrete and also teach you all. But promise me don't distribute it to all people. When enemy got that and they would use it back toward us." Z
.
"Ya, if enemy got it and use it, that would be hard for us." Captain. LZ
"It is that everyone could use it?" Zi Mi ask,
"Yes." Z
"If everyone agree, I would teach you all. But don't just make a promise in the air, just make promise in the heart." Z
After he told them he did not wait for reply, he walk toward dead bodies and he started his counts.
There were only three bodies, five dead bodies missing.
.
After he check he notice why but he needed to ask them to make sure.
So, he looks back and see.
.
Everyone was looking at him with curious eyes.
Zora knew why they were curious, they never saw absorbing like that before.
.
So he did not ask why they looking at him,
"What happen to other bodies?" Z
"We left at there, do you need it too?" YY
"Yes." Zora did not lie.
.
One way or another they would found out.
If someone hide the thing what they should not hide, that would lead other people less trust on someone.
.
Zora turn back and looking at
the Caster metal magician body, he inwardly think and said
'there would be something different from you?'
.
This is the first Caster body he would going to absorb.
And he is hoping there would be different effect would give him.
.
But before he absorb, he found out two things.
.
First there were small five bodies,
"There are small one here?? Who and how?"
Zora ask them in short but other understand what he wanted to ask.
.
"He killed them all and when he knew that you could absorb. He carried them all here."
Yang Yin use his face to point near tree and answered.
.
Zora looks at where Yang Yin pointed and found a cat with wing on the tree branch.
He walk back toward the tree and said.
.
"Thank you very much and you are?" Z
"Scout and scout killer Zhou Hu. And you welcome." The cat reply.
.
Zora looks at the Cat with big mouth and,
"Scout killer? What did you use to kill them? Claws and teeth?" Z
"Yes, I use claws and teeth to kill them. Why?" Zhou Hu answer and ask.
.
Zora looking at The cat big mouth and,
"What if I make a teeth and claw with good iron that could make easy to kill. What do you think?" Z
It is not too easy to make proper gear that fit for them.
.
The cat eyes were confuse before change into shining,
"Good. Good. Make it for me please, I would get you more scout bodies later." Zhou Hu
"Deal, but give me some time, I need to make proper adjustment and good iron because it would be put in your mouth." Z
"No problem." Zhou Hu
.
"Hay, that not fair!!!" Yang Yin could not stand anymore.
"What not fair?" Z
"We killed and bring these body too, you should make something for us too?"
When Yang Yin talk all other were looking at Zora with tenacious
.
Zora wanted say 'NO'
Because of previous event and he still angry. (Not telling him how the king wai ability.)
.
But after he is looking at their eyes,
"I already told you I would give something good, don't I?" Z
That was a promise from Zora, when Yang Yin helped him carry granny, blacksmith and Ye Lin, when they came in this secrete way.
.
"Ohh, that I remember. So you mean that! Got it." YY
"What about for them?" YY
"Ya...Ya…., I will make something for them too! ok? Happy?" Z
"Yaaaaa, Hola Zora,"
Everyone shout as they all happy.
They all notice about Zora sword, and no one ever saw something like that before.
.
That they all talking about it behind Zora back,
But time to time Zora show his power and everyone start drawing a line between them.
.
And don't dare to ask anymore even they wanted it.
"But I need time and material." Z
"That OK we would give you anything you want."
Zi Mi told him as she was the richest on in here.
.
And Zi Mi ask to go help other people from normal Road. Because Zora is the fastest one here.
But Zora refused to go.
.
"Why? Please save them." Zi Mi could not help, only one who could do is Zora.
.
"That battle over there, I don't have any preparation and no information, that would make me hard battle for me. And now I need sometime rest to fight for next battle, so I don't want to fight now."
.
"And we win the fight before, because we prepare. and our enemies did not got our information."
.
Zora continue and ask them a question.
"Why don't they got our information."
"Because no one tell them." a Female healer.
.
Zora pointed at a female healer and said
"Yes, you are correct. Because no one tell them or no information about that."
.
And he continue.
"They did not get any information because 'No scout or no betrayer'."
"And now what I wanted to talk is no betrayer."
"There were some back stabber in your group and where they?"
.
"They were chase away by you?" YY
.
Zi Mi starting to understand what Zora leading to say.
.
"If I did not chase them before they knew our strategies and what would happen to us if they sold us out?" Z
.
And Zora looks at Yang Yin and.
"You ask me what was related?, Simple I don't want to fight my life in danger while backstabber were hiding behind stabbing me."
.
Most of the time Zora think and make hard battle to become easy battle. Zora always thought two steps ahead.
.
"What was our deal before?" Zora ask them.
.
"To make a safe place for my sister!!! and until now I still could not find a trace of safe place around you. And even I got my life in danger and another again." Zora told toward Zi Mi.
.
"If I die now, there were definitely no safe place for my sister, if I go and live with my own, I am sure I can protect my sister."
.
Now most of them got, why Zora don't want fight.
"Our deal is to kill and eliminate every threat around us." Zora continue
.
"This is The War, not a child play thing."
"I need strong Ruler not weak one."
"Kill mean kill, deal mean deal."
.
"Don't never promise, if you could not keep."
"I kept my side, where were yours?"
(They got some conflict when Zora told them to kill six people from them.)
.
From the very start these Long people came with them for
'helping them?????' OR their duty was kill them, and
make the people who support princess to weaken'.
.
When they got weaken, the noble families would going to get hold of the king power.
This is a reason these spies were follow with them, and some were already sold them out.
.
If they did not sold them out, they did not even needed to fight with these King of Wai group who were chasing after them.
.
But when Zora told them to kill these people. They could not do it even after they made deal.
.
"If you are weak ruler, follow with you would make our lives constantly in danger." Zora told Zi Mi
.
"So my answer is NO, I could not go help them and see you later. I would still keep my promised."
.
There were thin line between taking back country and helping them.
.
Taking back is easy, kill all the enemy and take back what ever it is. (damage to country or citizen.)
.
Helping them is too hard.
.
After Zora talk, he walk toward the caster.
"Wait, I knew I am weak but help me to become strong and help my people."
Zi Mi shouted with tear coming out from her eyes.
.
Zora stop walking and turn back looking at her.
"Do you really decided to become strong? Every strong Ruler dare to kill everyone who block their way, could you do that?" Z
.
Everyone gloom but they are not a child so they all knew that
'A King Road is fill with blood.'
.
Zi Mi is weak she could not kill everyone who block her way.
.
And Yang Yin group.
Because of their royalty and sympatry, they support her and they all knew this is reason why many noble trying to get her Crown.
But on the other side, they all wanted Zora help too.
.
Even if someone is so strong, time to time they needed help from other.
.
But when they need help, no one help them.
.
That is reason why most people said rely on yourself.
.
But there were many silent failing and fade away because of without help.
.
Now someone is extend his hand but still they could not took it because of some requirement?
.
And they could blame both sides. (ZiMi side and Zora side.)
.
At the main while, when everyone were silent,
.
But most of all looking at Zora with pleading, people on the other side were their friends and families.
.
A voice come out,
"But GeGe, you are strong."Yu Rou tell him while one of her hand touch his face.
That word wake Zora up from anger. And He suddenly find his mistake.
.
