Chapter 24 - The Battle Between Hero and Demon Part 2

"You right." Zumbi with an evil look on his face and his aggressive

Byron had gotten into his stance and he had held his sword behind his head and the other sword across the lower half of his body and he said, "Bring it on then."

Zumbi had risen the undead around him and he had risen himself above Byron and Byron had changed his footing and he had moved across toward him and he had gotten into his face and he had slashed him but it wasn't him and it was the undead.

"Dammit, a fake."

"You can never defeat me with the move and your lack of judgment."

"You might be right but if I don't try then I never know."

"Hahaha."

Byron had slashed the undead all around him and he couldn't stay focused on his Ki he was wondering what was happening to his Ki and Byron had wondered that his Ki is in all of the undead.

"It is hard to take this all in but I got to stay figure on the main body or else I won't come back to them."

"He got to think more and more and stay calm in moments like this. At first, he was just a scared kid but it seem like he have a swordsman in his family tree the question is who was that and how is their power passed on to him?"

"I think he getting worried that I getting to know his strategies fast. He is right to be worried about me because this time I going to stay focused on him and nothing else and that kid energy had vanished and also Raven Blood went too."

Byron had to look around and he kept on slashing the undead puppets and he had gotten close to getting all of them but they came back fast and they had gathered around him and tried to rip his arm off but Byron use a blast of light and Zumbi was blind for a second.

"The hell is that. I thought he had dark element power."

"Dark elemental: Saber art: Six slashes of dark divine blades."

There were six blades and they were going everywhere and killing all the undead that was around Byron and Zumbi was worried that he learn some more skills in his short period of time and Byron find the right one and he slashed in his direction and Zumbi was a slash in half from his head to his toes and he had dropped on the ground.

Byron didn't have time to wait and he didn't have time to think either if Zumbi get back up and then when Byron got closer to him. His body had moved back on his own and Zumbi had gotten back up and he had felt scared but he didn't move back on his own.

"Your body reaction at the right moment," Zumbi said

"What are you talking about?"

"I talking about how it is to feel fear again."

"What are you talking about? My body move on its own but I didn't feel fear at all."

"It simple really because this world and another world is filled with powerful people and if you don't use cation then you will die without even knowing it."

"Dammit, I hate to say that you're right but this is just crazy and how am I supposed to keep this to myself if I don't have power now."

"That is up to you and if you choose that then that is up to you to decide that for yourself but I here because I must kill off the evil here and make them my undead puppets but that to keep them to be useful."

"What are you saying?"

"It's easy to see something bad but do you know why this place went into the way it did."

"Because of the nobles that why?"

"Then you are clueless to the real answer of what hiding here."

"You talking about what I have shown down in the cave. Am I right?"

"Yeah, the King's Tower."

"What do you know about that?"

"I talking about the secret of Lords and how it was a battleground between the Angels and Devils in the Holy era."

"What? The Holy era."

"Yes, the Holy era is when the gods were at their prime and then there was the era of the gods was born during the Metamorphoses era."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I believe you are the one to start something amazing in the future but only time will tell but there are also three gates that led to those stories that you will see ahead."

"What are you talking about?"

"Prime, Central Prime, and Kyros. The three gates represent the past, present, and future."

"What?"

"You probably thinking that you don't know what I talking about but you will soon before you become someone great."

The sun was rising ahead and Zumbi had to go and he told Byron this before he left.

"The answers aren't something that you can find for yourself. It's something that isn't for you."

Zumbi vanished away into the shadows and all his undead also disappear and they had clear Hatai. Byron was looking toward the sunset and the Black Raven went up toward the clouds and it disappear into the clouds and Byron had to find where Peter went to.

"What did he mean by that?"

"Hello there, how are you?"

"Willow, you were watching was you."

"Yeah, I was."

"Good, then you see where the kid went to."

"Yeah, he underneath the mountains."

"The mountains," Byron said with a look of worry and he told Willow to get Mayvel and come on.

"What in the mountains?"

"You're an Earth collector and you don't know who lives in those mountains."

"Who is that?"

"Slument, the ancient dragon."

Inside the mountains and it was dark and cold and Peter was opening his eyes and he had touched the ground he was laying on and he was feeling the cold sand and then he rose up his body and he had seen nothing but a light toward his left.

"I need to get up before I have anything happen to me. I need to find a way out of here. Brigitte, where are you?"

Peter didn't hear Brigitte so he thought his power is gone and he can't connect to her. Peter tries to connect to her.

"Heaven Art."

Peter's hands did light up but they disappear off his fist and he had to try again and again but nothing happen and then Peter reach the end of the light and he faded down and his eyes had closed again and he has seen someone come up toward him before he closes his eyes.

Peter was having a flashback to his past and he has seen that there was fire and a large sword in the sky and he had noticed that there was a large black kingdom and a woman that was above him and she was stopping the sword.

Peter woke up and he had held his head and he was looking around and he was in a large pile of leaves and he has seen that there was also a little bird flying around him and he was pact up and he has seen a woman come up to him.

"How are you? Are you feeling okay?" She said

"Yeah, but who are you?"

"I'm one of the Priests of the Underground Temple."

"A Priest?"

"Yes, the Underground Temple that you have seen before was built by one of the princes of heaven."

"What? Heaven?"

"Yes, that where power from heaven and creation come from and people use it as a weapon then to protect people but you are different when you use it. That is why she reached out to you. Brigitte is the demi-goddess of power from the mythical gods."

"I never heard of the Mythical gods before."

"Nobody hardly had but they are different from your normal gods like the Greeks and Norse gods but they must be stronger and they had more reason to fight but they more advanced in their knowledge of the cosmos."

"What are you telling me?"

"That there is a secret that you must find out and you and eleven others must complete together for the next generations."

"How do you know that?"

"I was told by Uriel, the angel of wisdom."

"The angel of wisdom."

"Yes, even tho he isn't here in this dimension right now I saying way too much. So I

better tell you what type of powers you got."

"Priest."

"Call me priest Maggie and please don't be afraid to ask me anything about yourself."

"Okay, so how do I unleash my power without calling out Heaven Art."

"That is an advance skill for users that is good with their power."

"So you saying I not good enough to know that."

"That is what I saying because you are not ready for that type of power and your body will break down into broken pieces and you should take one step at a time just to get the flow of your body used to your new find power."

"What does that how to do with anything?"

"Because there are many ways that a person that is blessed can die from blessing for overusing their power for evil or fight stronger opponents."

"So I can't fight him again at less I get used to my power."

"I know it's hard but you must let your body perform with your mind at the same time."

"What do you mean by that?"

"When people blink out everything around them and focus on one thing in front of them. Their body moves at limitless speed and your body will no longer have the speed that can be called normal but godly. It can be said to have a calm mind and a blank space and you will feel endless power. It was studied under the ten great Buddhist master."

"What are you saying? To clear my mind and think of nothing else."

"Yes, that is what I am saying but you have to conquer your past first before you do all that. Came along and I show you how to overcome your past in the first part but I can't go into full detail into that."

"Why that?"

"Because a person needs to overcome their own past and live with that past and move forward with that pain and make sure nobody else suffers. In these worlds, there are people that haven't overcome their past and they are like kids on the inside deep down."

"I see."

Peter held his head down but Maggot told him to keep his head up and they walk down from the giant tree they had gone down a few floors of the tree and the tree was connected to the seven cities down of the Underground Temple and then Peter saw how beautiful it was but he notices a burnt spot on the wall.

"What is that?"

"Oh, that is from the ancient dragon," Maggie said

"The ancient dragon?"

"Yes, that dragon guard this world for many years."

"A dragon. I think I heard that from Yo-Pi before about a dragon that was in the Battle of the four kingdoms."

"Yes, she must have told you who was in it?"

"Yes, it was the Cains, Darklords, Dwarfs, and Humans."

"That's correct but do you know they were fighting over."

"Yes, over the lands."

"No, you're wrong."

"Then what is that?"

"Sorry, but I can't tell you that?"

"Why is that?"

"There are some things that you can't know about this world."

"I can't ever know nothing."

"Sorry."

They walk toward a temple and it was covered with plants and yellow Lilly that change color every few minutes.

"Welcome to the temple of Gaia."

"The temple of Gaia?"

"Yes, we use names from the primordial gods through our temple."

"I see. So why do you name this Gaia? Any reason why?"

"It many reasons why? Because she creates worlds that are filled with life and that is why you see the tree that is filled with so many plants and birds."

"So that why? What about that dragon? can you tell me something that you can tell me about Slument."

"Okay then. Let me start from the beginning of the "Great Epic Story of Slument Wrath."

Maggie had started the story from the time of the late common era that it was more peaceful at the time when Slument was sent into Lords as one of the protectors and how he was firstborn.

"In the beginning, Slument was just a small dragon and at that age, he was almost at a level of a Noble rank and if you agree with this power system then that will be a large problem to anyone that tries to threaten the world of Lords. Slument also had five different elements that were inside him."

It was fire, ice, wind, earth, and light element.

"It was known that there was something special about his skin and the dragon scales that were on his body and he was known to be hard to kill and if the scales get taken off then he just will harden even more and it will be hard to kill him."

Slument normally use the light element to heal his dragon scales and regain nutrient without

his body and so he never dies and he would always get hurt but it will heal his body as just a few seconds after the wound is dealt toward him. The dwarf had always tried to take his scales for crafting.
