Chereads / The Cursed Zodiacs / Chapter 12 - Episode 12

Chapter 12 - Episode 12

On the side of the mountain Eric, Taron, Jax, and Lant was looking at Taurus as he was unconscious. Eric stated that he's the zodiac knight taurus and asked who's strong enough to do that to him. Taron replied that he must've met Braiden and that they were close.

The four flew straight to the top of the mountain. As they enter the building they notice that the inside was heavily damage. Jax stated that it looked like a fight happened in here. Taron replies that Braiden was definitely here. A voice shouted out who else is in here. Braiden walked out and saw Taron. Instead of the red shirt he was wearing, he came out wearing a red tank top. The two stares at each other. Braiden grabbed Taron and put him in a head lock. Eric shook in fear not knowing what was happening. Braiden tells Taron that it's been a while and calls him little brother. Eric gets shocked again screaming out brothers.

Lant then explains that Braiden is Taron's older brother. Taron then introduced Braiden to Eric by stating that he's the cursed zodiac cancer, Braiden. Braiden points to the right side of his neck showing Eric his zodiac sign. Braiden then walks up to Eric while asking rhetorically if this was the boy that Taurus was talking about. He asked Eric what did he do to the king to have the zodiac knights after him. Eric responded that he did nothing. Braiden was surprised from the answer. Taron explains that the king needs to be checked on, but the zodiac knights are gonna get in the way. He also states that in order to beat all of them they would need all of the cursed zodiacs. Braiden chuckles then tells the group that they can leave now. Taron suggested that they should wait due to his chest. Braiden asked what was wrong. Jax stated while laughing that he got a hole put in his chest twice. Taron lifts his shirt to show Braiden the bandages. Braiden responded that he was out of luck. That he could've made their parents special soup, but he ran out of profen. Eric stated in excitement that he had profen. Everybody looked at Eric as he fiddled through the shopping bags. He stated that the store cashier had recommended it. Braiden started to head to the back while saying that he was gonna make some special soup and that he'll be back.

Afterwards Eric asked about Braiden's curses. Taron tells Eric that unlike the rest of them Braiden only has one curse, his primary curse superiority. It lets him become stronger than his opponent, no matter how strong they are. Eric asked if that was really his curse. Jax replies that it's not only strength, that all of his stats become better than his opponent. Eric asked how something like that could be a curse. Braiden while holding a bowl of soup, walked in answering Eric's question by saying that there's a thing called too much power. He follows up by saying that his curse has to be activated for him to be superior. Jax stated that basically if whoever he's fighting don't one shot him, his curse will activate.

Braiden offered the soup to Taron and told him that only one gulp of it would heal his wounds. Taron took the bowl and drunk all of the soup til the bowl was empty. Afterwards Taron started belching and it sounded similar to a monstrous roar. Once he stopped he joyfully stated that he was feeling better. He then reached his right arm out. The group heard vibrations as something traveled up inside the mountain. Suddenly Taron's scythe sprouted from the surface of the floor into Taron's hand. After spinning it around Taron stated that it was time to go. Lant summoned birds into the building to fly everyone out of there. While they're flying Taron shouts out for the king to watch out. That the cursed zodiacs are coming.

Meanwhile at the kingdom in the castle. Jonicus approached the king sitting on his throne. The king open his eyes while saying that they are coming. Jonicus responded that he'll alert the others. The king stood up and walked towards the window.
