Chapter 48: Wood Is Brown
Ariel was challenged by the Wood General Bellion. Bellion was at his full power. He was one of the strongest generals in Zuch.
"A general came to stop me personally," Ariel said with a surprised face.
"Well, it is high time we crushed the enemies of our King," Bellion said in a cold voice.
"Quite fascinating," Ariel continued.
"Since you are a wind user, you are to be crushed sooner than anyone," Bellion continued in a calm voice.
"I was wondering… is Victor here right now?" Ariel said looking at Victor. Bellion flinched for a moment.
"You….should focus on your survival," Bellion said in a serious voice.
"That means….he is here," Ariel said smirking. Bellion started walking towards Ariel.
Ariel summoned Alice. He got in his position to defend and attack. He knew this was gonna be the toughest battle untill now.
Bellion was confident. His one and only motive was to destroy Ariel.
Many wood piles came out from the ground and attacked Ariel from different sides. Ariel with his excellent swordsmanship defended himself and cut through the woods.
Bellion did not stop and continued marching. The number of wood piles was more than a thousand. Ariel was giving his best. He jumped. He cut. He attacked.
"Weakling," Bellion said with a disappointed face.
"Huh?!" Ariel cut through the woods and immediately charged towards Bellion. Bellion stopped for a moment. Ariel got a chance. He was very close to Bellion and swung Alice.
But Bellion's woods came out and pierced through Ariel's body. Ariel spitted blood and backed off.
"Do you think you can defeat me with those kinds of skills?" Bellion said laughingly. He was mocking Ariel.
"I believe in my skills," Ariel said with confidence. He was injured. He was breathing heavily. But he did not try to abandon this fight.
"Why are you...doing this?" Bellion said, looking at Ariel.
"To make this world….a better place," Ariel said looking at the eyes of Bellion directly. Bellion was surprised.
"Is that so? Then I hope you will get to fulfill your dream after winning against me," Bellion said smirking.
"I guess so," Ariel said smiling.
"Let's finish this," Bellion said.
"I am ready," Ariel said, smiling with heavy confidence.
"Nithius Wood Camelman," Bellion said and his body parts were taking the form of a camel with wood. He was looking dangerous. He became taller than before.
He had water on his back in a bag type part. His body was all brown. He had hair all over his body. Ariel flinched for a moment.
"Do you still have the confidence to defeat me?" Bellion said in a deep voice. Ariel gulped.
"I shall try my best," Ariel said and summoned wind wings. He flew to Bellion to strike down him. But Bellion was unexpectedly quicker. He slammed Ariel on the surface. Wind shield could not stop Bellion.
Ariel used a Wind Rope and tied it with a big and strong tree. He then made the rope smaller to get close to the tree to get away from Bellion's huge hand and he was successful.
Ariel got to the tree. Bellion tried to smash it. Ariel guessed Bellion's next move and so he jumped. Bellion smashed the tree. Ariel landed on Bellion's hand and cut it into many pieces.
Bellion was surprised. He attacked with his left hand then. Ariel summoned Wind Shield for a moment and distracted Bellion. He moved away from the shield and attacked Bellion's left hand. That hand was very hard.
Ariel striked twice but Bellion was all good. He received nothing except some scratches. Ariel stepped back right away.
"Weak," Bellion said in a cold voice.
Ariel wasted no time and charged towards Bellion. He was trying to find Bellion's weakness. He was hitting Bellion's body here and there.
Bellion was throwing punches as much as he could. He summoned a hammer made of wood. Alice and Bellion's hammer clashed with each other again and again. They were giving their best to win the fight.
Due to Ariel's body being damaged, Bellion had the upper hand. Bellion quickly defended Ariel's attacks and attacked Ariel. The battle was going longer than Bellion's expectation.
"You are trying hard," Bellion said and stepped back.
"I am trying my hardest," Ariel said while huffing and bleeding.
"You should learn to surpass your limits," Bellion said with a confident face.
"Say, why do you follow Victor?" Ariel said, looking at Bellion.
"I follow His Majesty because water is a valuable thing to me," Bellion said without any doubt. Hence the statement was suspicious to Ariel.
"Water is that much important to you?" Ariel said with a confused face.
"Looks like you don't have much knowledge about the Zuchs," Bellion said laughingly.
"Nope. Thanks to you, I have now found your weakness," Ariel said smiling.
"Huh? What's that?" Bellion said with doubts.
Ariel did not answer him and charged towards Bellion. Bellion went on his defensive mode. He was not sure which weakness Ariel was talking about.
Ariel threw several Kaze-Kyu towards Bellion. Bellion became busy defending himself. Ariel took the chance and striked on his body part where water was stored in. The water was leaking.
It caused many damages to Bellion's body. His body became weaker than before. He was on his knees.
"How did...you?" Bellion said with a confused voice.
"It was water," Ariel said smiling.
"This is not ending like this," Bellion said and stood up. He was bleeding and losing all his strength and consciousness.
"No, it ends here," Ariel said and swung Alice. He charged towards Bellion. Bellion tried to stop him by using wood. But Ariel cut through them.
Ariel was close enough to cut down Bellion but out of nowhere he was attacked by CBF51. When he was almost close to Bellion. One CBF51 member came from above and touched Ariel.
Ariel was teleported at that very moment. He was not in the Peace City anymore. Bellion won the battle because of CBF51, professional teleportation elemental users.
"Heh, he lost," Bellion said, smirking. Later he left Peace City using one of the teleportation holes CBF51 members created.
"Make sure to teleport every single White Eagles member," Bellion said and returned to the Zuch Ford.
