Chapter 73 - Chapter 32. Fissure! Concentrate! Concentrate! (Part 1)

"GRUDEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A roar of tremendous fury comes out of Arksen as he looks with bloodshot eyes towards Grudel.

Grudel coldly looks over the battlefield as a malevolent aura surrounds him, keeping Vladi and Isca away from him. His scales slowly changing to a pitch black color and his eyes becoming gold colored.

Despite looking like Isca, his aura was the polar opposite, instead of being charismatic and filled with a majestic feeling, it feels repulsive, making one scowl when looking at him.

Isca looks at Grudel in shock as well as all the Scardinians.

Vladi goes through the aura of Grudel and shoots at him.

Her eyes filled with anger and frustration as she points her guns towards Grudel.

BANG BANG BANG!

Grudel easily evades the bullets as he looks with indifference towards the people he betrayed, and then, his gaze rests on Zenith.

'What a monster, he managed to protect his heart at the last second'

But Grudel smirks when he thinks of that, 'Well, not that it will change anything.'

"WHY!?"

Grudel looks at Isca who shouted at him, "Despite being so blessed you are still a piece of trash"

The cold answer freezes Isca up, and then he grits his teeth as he charges towards Grudel.

Chaotic thoughts fills Isca's head as he attacks wildly but isn't able to touch a single hair of Grudel even with Vladi attacking too.

It felt like fighting against a phantom.

RUMBLE

Zar stomps on the ground trying to get to Grudel, as well as Arksen who was already running with intense fury showing on his face.

"ZAR!"

A tremendous roar stops Zar in place, as the Earth General unwillingly looks towards his King, and then grits his teeth hard as he attacks Arksen.

"MAKE WAY!" Arksen shouts as he stomps hard and directs his spear towards Zar.

Darkness solidifies around his spear as his entire martial aura explodes. Tremendous amount of power comes out of Arksen as his spear pierces through Zar's skin.

Zar howls in pain and looks toward Arksen shocked, not believing that the person in front of him is the same as the one he has been battling this whole time.

Chaotic martial aura surrounds Arksen as he waves his spear with madness.

Zar grits his teeth as he manipulates the Earth element and his skin become even harder.

Jules Miles also appears as she directs her attack towards Grudel while Arksen is keeping Zar busy.

Grudel look at everyone attacking him and smiles widely.

"Come on, guys, remember, I am not your enemy"

Those words couldn't sound more nauseating towards the party as they look at the evil smile of Grudel.

"Full Burst!"

"Sword of the Setting Sun"

"Draconic Slash!"

Grudel steps forward and throws an arrow towards Jules Miles despite the barrage of attacks coming to him.

The arrow bypasses Jules as all the attacks fall on Grudel.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

A huge explosion occurred as everyone looks towards the direction of their attacks.

"Geez, you are so energetic now unlike when you couldn't help but watch your brother about to die"

Jules pupils become like needles as an enormous dangerous feeling sweeps her and rapidly slashes behind her back.

But Grudel claw already fell on her shoulder, cracking her armor around it. Blood splashes on the field but he soon stops as he evades her attack.

A bloody smile appears on Grudel's face.

"But well, I reeeeally hoped to finish this farce and finish all of you guys by myself, but well, I am not the main actor here"

Grudel then steps forward and disappears from where he was, as if he never was there to begin with, like a Phantom.

"It's time for the real show to begin! HAHAHAHAHA!"

A mad filled laughter gave everyone there the chills as they feel the powerful being that Grudel has become.

It is time for pure evil to enter the stage.

-----------------------------------------

I wake up from my stupor as I look at Dorek going for Zenith. I grip my swords as I feel something very hot coming from my deep inside me.

Tremendous might starts bursting from me as I step forward and Dorek stops suddenly.

My Three-Elemtal Enhancing revolving inside of me furiously as my Razer Body and Fast Recovery are pushed.

The sounds of the battlefield start becoming faint, but for some reason, I could hear everything that Grudel was saying despite the distance and the noise.

I feel my swords heating up and without realizing, endless Fire and Light starts spewing out from them.

Dorek turns around with caution as he looks at me seriously, and then, when I look at his clear icy eyes, I recognize what this feeling is.

My face distorted with pure rage reflects on his eyes.

Fury starts consuming me as I feel the elements running chaotically inside of me.

Right now, my consciousness just wants one thing.

Violence!

And my body moves with that sole purpose.

My two swords appear suddenly above Dorek as I look at his face tensing up, hurriedly trying to block with his halberd.

A powerful shockwave spreads to our surrounding as we clash with our weapons. The entire floor below Dorek cracks up as his knees bend for a little.

But in front of me wasn't Dorek anymore.

'Grudel'

Just the name and figure makes me clench my teeth so hard that I feel they would end up breaking.

A tail appears on my line of sight, but I don't care as I push my swords even harder, the flames expanding unceasingly.

CRACK!

As the tails hits me, my swords make way towards Dorek's armor and leave two cracks on it as injuries appear on his body.

Blood oozes out of my mouth as a small crack appears on the side of my armor that was hit.

But I don't stop looking at Dorek as I attack him wildly again.

He readies is halberd and strikes at wanting to pierce my body. Without stopping for a moment, I start annulling the power behind his attack, and then, I receive it head on.

'Absorption'

I absorb the power behind his attack but it ends up piercing through my armor on the left side of my stomach.

'Release'

I swing Dei as I focus all of my power on this slash and cut the armor of Dorek like a hot knife through butter.

A diagonal slash appears on his body as I ends up gritting his teeth with traces of blood coming out of his lips.

While it looked serious, the injury on my body is way worse as I feel my vitality going down.

Just as I think of activating Overflow, I hear a breath.

A breath that makes me come into reason.

"Zenith is alive!"

I hear Juran's shout as my eyes widen and I instantly move my feet.

I activate my elemental enhancing to move as fast as possible and before anyone else and position myself in front of Zenith's body to protect him.

Blood flows out from the side of my stomach and my lips, but I hear that breath again, and instead of feeling weaker, my legs become firmer.

I drive my elemental enhancing this time towards healing and defense.

Dorek growls at me as fury appears on his eyes because of the wound I inflicted on him, and then he looks to somewhere else.

I know where he is looking but I don't dare to look for fear of losing my reason again.

Grudel.

The one behind all this attack, the traitor in our midst. Anger wells up in me as I grip my swords hard but I soon calm down.

'Now, the most important thing is to protect Zenith as long as possible for him to regain mobility.

I think as I feel a wave of Death surrounding Zenith albeit weakly.

Dorek then looks at me again as he gnaws on his teeth and then stomps forward.

I take a deep breath as I relax my stance.

The Dorek starts attacking me furiously and I move my swords to and my skills to block each and every incoming attack. I drive my Fast Recovery to its utmost to be able to resist as much as possible.

Everything else in the battlefield becomes diluted as we clash incessantly, my swords moving to parry his Piercing and Slashin strikes, his tail appearing to flip me away I create a pillar of earth in front of me and annul most of its power to keep defending.

Injuring Dorek again becomes a laughable thought in my mind as I can barely breath because of the constant onslaught.

But I feel the wave of Death growing stronger as I feel the body of Zenith twitching. I grit my teeth as I receive another attack of Dorek head on, making my knees bend as I hear every muscle in my body screaming.

And then, I hear it. His hand weakly supporting himself on the ground and trying to stand up.

The wave of Death start growing stronger and stronger and suddenly It becomes chaotic.

Felling the sudden change of event my eyes tense up.

'Something is wrong!'

But even if I think that I can't take my eyes off Dorek as I feel the constant surge of Death.

Cold shudder sweeps my body as I feel that Zenith has now stood up.

And then, a blast occurs behind me pushing me away and Dorek defends himself as he is slightly pushed back too.

Finally, I take a look towards Zenith as I look at the surging Death aura coming from him chaotically, going upwards towards the sky.

The arrow imbedded in his back pulses wit malevolent Death as it constantly merges with Zenith's and suddenly disappears into him.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

A furious pillar made of the aura of Death go towards the sky unceasingly as a tremor sweeps the battlefield.

A storm brewing forth as I feel the space creaking up.

Kagito comes into my view with a shocked expression while looking at a point in the sky.

I look towards there and soon, a crack appears.

Cracks appear on the space of that place and soon it expands and breaks apart.

A fissure appears and suddenly, a Giant's hand comes out.

"BAHAHAHAHA FINALLY!!!!"

A powerful laughter sweeps the entire field as a demonic like being appears from that fissure.

The crimson red eyes filled with thrill and madness look towards the field as his demonic grin shows his fangs.

"FREEDOM!"

The words of Director Park appear on my mind.

"Be careful of fissures."
