Chereads / The Cursed Zodiacs / Chapter 13 - Episode 13

Chapter 13 - Episode 13

In the kingdom, Jonicus was standing on the balcony of the castle. He told the remaining zodiac knights that the cursed zodiacs were coming. He also stated that they shouldn't hold back in the fight. Sagittarius stated that Jonicus was making it sound like they were gonna lose. Jonicus replies that even though three of their members aren't there they still out number the cursed zodiacs six to four. Also the knights of the kingdom will aid them in battle. He concludes his statement by saying that victory was ensured, but their opponents aren't weak. If any mistakes happen it might be their last. After Jonicus entered the building, Sagittarius asked Scorpio who was she planning on fighting. She responded that it didn't matter and that she wanted to kill them all. Aries pointed out that the cursed zodiacs were allies in the past and that she didn't want to fight them. Pisces replied that even though they were allies then, they're enemies to the king now. Libra smiled then stated that she didn't care whether or not they were allies or enemies, they'll all kneel down before her.

As knights of the kingdom prepare for the fight Elaine is sitting at a table crying. She suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and saw the bread shop owner. He asked her if she was crying about Eric. She replied that she was worried about him. The bread store owner stated that Eric was a good kid and he couldn't believe he'll do something bad to anyone especially the king. She responded that she just wanted to know what was going on. He tells her that all they can do now is hope for the best. The two then heard the battle horn.

When the zodiac knights heard the horn, Sagittarius started to walk towards the side of the kingdom. Scorpio asked where he was going. He replied that he was gonna find a place to snipe them out, and walked away. Most of the knights was running to their positions while other knights yelled out that they were here. One knight started panicking while saying that he wasn't ready to fight the cursed zodiacs. Another knight stated not to worry that the zodiac knights are fighting with them. The two knights nodded at each other and ran to their positions.

The group flew towards the kingdom and landed outside of the main walls. As they land an army of knights marched outside the kingdom. Coming behind them was the zodiac knights. Taron suddenly noticed something. He grabbed Eric and jammed his scythe into the ground. Taron and Eric's bodies quickly went underground. Pisces grunted then turned around and ran in through the gate before they closed it. In the kingdom by the side wall Taron and Eric sprouted from the ground. Taron told Eric to go and handle stuff from here. Eric was confused at first but then nodded and ran off while Taron went back underground.

Scorpio after seeing the two leave, asked if they was running away already. Jax replied that it was only those two that were running. Jax asked Lant if he was ready. Lant summoned his staff and confirmed. Jax dashed to the army of knights and used gemini tornado. The tornado blew a chunk of the knights away. Lant used lion's homing blast, which is a giant lion made of sound waves and it attacked the rest of the knights. The lion exploded causing a major dust cloud from the two attacks. As the dust cloud clears up the zodiacs knights stood behind Capricorn as he used complete guard to block the attacks. Complete guard lets Capricorn completely block any magic attack. Libra walked towards the cursed zodiacs then lifted her staff. Gravitational barriers surrounded the three forcing them on the ground. Lant states that he can't move his body. Libra laughs manically telling the cursed zodiacs to kneel to her.

The people of the kingdom was looking at the dust clouds from outside the wall. One citizen asked another person who he thought was winning. The person replied of course the zodiac knights are winning. Elaine was also looking at the dust clouds and worried even more about Eric. Suddenly she was grabbed from the space between the two buildings she was standing in front of. She turns around quickly and was surprised to find out that it was Eric. Elaine started to asked him a series a questions. What happened? What did he do to the king? Eric said her name to interrupt. He tells her that he didn't do anything to the king. Elaine paused for a moment, then told Eric to turn himself in. Eric was confused. Elaine tells him that since he's so popular in the kingdom the king would let him go if all the people join together on it. Eric told her that's not gonna work. Elaine then shouted out that it's a better idea than showing up with the cursed zodiacs. She asked him why would he hang around them, they're enemies against the king. Eric yelled back telling her that they're the only ones that's helping him. He continues by saying that they are out there risking their lives for him. He turns around and states that he didn't come here to argue. While walking away he tells her that he came to tell her that's he's innocent. Elaine watched him walk away.

Meanwhile on the other side of the wall, Libra was laughing manically while saying that they should just give up. Jax told her that he doesn't give up that easy. He opened the palm of his right hand and his ring blade flew to it. He then shouted nullify and the gravitational field was converted into white energy that went into Jax's body. He gets up and run towards Libra while using amplify. Looking from a far was Sagittarius already aiming his bow at Jax. The arrow started to cover itself with fire. He released the string shooting the flamming arrow towards Jax. Suddenly a scythe blade with a metal chain attached to it had flew pass Sagittarius and cut the arrow in two. Sagittarius looked back to see Taron yanking the staff part of his scythe bringing back his blade. Sagittarius asked how he knew he was up here. Taron told him that he saw the others get attacked by flamming arrows in this direction with his future sight, and stated that he wasn't gonna let that happen. Sagittarius chuckled then aimed his bow at Taron and shouted rapid fire. Rapid fire lets Sagittarius fire a barrage of flamming arrows. The arrows flew through Taron scratching him in the process. He slid back and started to laugh while saying that was a good one. Taron then told him that it was his turn. He slams the scythe blade into the ground while shouting ground breaker. The ground started to shake and a large spike shot out the ground from under Sagittarius. He was sent into the air and started to fall but another spike shot out and hit him again. It happened again and again. As Sagittarius falls facing downwards, the fifth spike shot up uppercutting him. Sagittarius flies in the air unconscious with blood flying with him. Taron smiles then slams his scythe into the ground and started tunneling underground.

Jax throws a punch but Libra blocked it with her staff. The hit cause Libra to slide back damaging the ground as well. The gravitational field on Braiden and Lant was gone and they start to get up. Scorpio jumps from behind Libra and slices Jax with one of her daggers. She then continues to slice him with both daggers then jumps back. Scorpio tells him that her daggers releases poison when ever she cuts somebody. She states that the more cuts the faster the poison will spread. Jax looked at the cuts then fell to the ground. Aries approached Lant while saying that she didn't want to fight a former ally. Lant states that he also didn't want to fight her. He gets close to her then suggested that she should just let him finish this. He then shouts hidden curse destruction. Aries flies to the air with her armor mostly broken and Lant jumps up above her. He generated his staff and swung it at Aries while using lion's roar. The soundwaves sent Aries straight to the ground. Capricorn shouted out Aries and ran towards her.

Scorpio laughs at Jax as he lies on the ground full of poison. Braiden walks up to Scorpio stating that she has injured his comrade. Scorpio looks up at Braiden and tells him that he's next. Braiden stated that she was gonna pay for that. Jax tells him no while the white aura appeared. He gets up slowly, telling him that he can handle it. He stated that he was seeing if his possession would heal the poison, but it kept coming back. He then grabs his ring blade with the right hand and stabs himself in the chest. He shouts out nullify as the poison turned into white energy and was absorbed. Scorpio was shocked at what just happened and stated that it was impossible. Jax smiled then used gemini tornado and Scorpio was sent to the air. Jax asked Braiden for some assistance. Braiden put his sword down and locked his hands. He then sprung Jax into the air right above Scorpio. Jax used amplify and swung his ring blade at Scorpio sending her straight to the ground causing a dust cloud. Braiden looked down hearing footsteps. Libra then approached him and raised her staff. The gravitational barrier had surrounded Braiden again, but this time sending him deep in the ground creating a hole. Libra laughs stating that they were fools thinking they could beat her. Her eyes widen in shock as she sees Braiden getting out the hole. She starts yelling that he shouldn't have been able to get out of that hole. That he shouldn't be able to move. That he should be kneeling down before her. Braiden walks up while his gold aura appeared. He asked her why should he kneel if he's superior. He slams his split sword downwards while saying crab slicer. He generated a powerful slash trailing through the ground and knocking Libra unconscious.

Meanwhile inside the walls of the kingdom, Eric was standing outside of the castle getting ready to go in. He stops as he hears someone say stop right there. He looks back and sees Pisces walking towards him. Eric stated that he was going in the castle and that Pisces couldn't stop him. Pisces asked if Eric was gonna fight him. Eric grunted then clinched his right fist and punched Pisces in the face. The punch didn't effect Pisces at all. Taron arrived from the side wall stating that was terrible. He told Eric to stand back and let him handle this.
