Zeal shouts this mysterious voice's name, and the winds roared much more ferociously. The next event happened within 30 seconds of time.
"My eyes are in pain, and my body doesn't feel as heavy. What was that just now? No, I don't have to worry about that for now. If this chance is just the only chance I have before Lupel comes here, then I'll do it!"
Zeal stood. His eyes were bleeding but wide open; the color of his eyes changed from ash-gray to deep and vivid red color. He turned to face the gaze.
"I can see him! I can't quite make out his face but this is good! with this, I'll see his next move."
Zeal ducked and placed his hands on the ground.
"Seeing the deers today won't help me right now in this situation but if my guess is correct, then I can use magic! if this doesn't work, I don't know what will. I can only do much avoiding this guy's projectile weapons."
Zeal swiped his fingers to take some blood off of his face; he then gripped the blood with his hands and focused on the blood inside his fists. He doesn't know how he did it, but the mana inside him started circulating faster towards his fist; he could feel the mana move.
"This is bad I got to hurry, he's preparing to launch 3 more of those blades." Zeal raised his fist to get momentum and struck the ground with heavy force. At the ground Zeal struck at there surfaced a solid soil veined-wall. "This is better than I expected! However, this isn't over."
The flying weapons were much formidable than what Zeal thought and pierced the wall halfway.
"I didn't expect that his weapons will actually pierce the wall. But this certainly will shock him and will leave his guard open."
Zeal went on the other side of the wall to pick one of the thrown weapons.
"In the sword fighting skills Lupel taught me, there was one where I can pick my weapon up if it ever falls."
Zeal dropped the weapon, kicked the ground where it landed, and the weapon leaped to his shoulder level. After that, Zeal made a fist and pulled back to get momentum; he then condensed air near the sword's hilt to launch it towards the gaze.
"It hit!" The sword Zeal launched has hit the figure's shoulder.
!!!
( The air feels heavy. What's happening. )
"ZEAL!"
"That was Lupel's voice! He's here!"
Zeal made another wall but was taller and thicker. Zeal manipulated the wall to make a hole enough to peek at; the attacker is nowhere to be found.
"ZEAL!!"
Lupel spots Zeal sitting down behind a wall three times Zeal's own height.
"SON! are you okay? you're bleeding!"
He worriedly asked. Perhaps Lupel took notice of the atmosphere because as soon as he got near me, he stopped asking and was on guard. A hand on my head and one at his sword.
"Father, I'm okay. Where is Zia? Is she safe?"
I stood and prepared for whatever might happen.
"She's safe, I won't ask what happened here but where is it?"
I pointed at the hole I had made.
"Here, peek there.. that was where he was."
"Zeal, I'm being serious here. No one can peek inside this hole."
We both looked at each other, but I didn't give him a reply and only looked at him. We both waited for 5 minutes until the heavy air that enveloped the area disappeared.
"It should be good now."
I stated while removing the bloodstains on my face. Lupel only looked at me then after he observed the perimeter. I waited for him to return while I sat and manipulated the wall to go back to the ground. Whilst removing one of the walls, I saw Lupel behind one.
"Zeal, I'll hear you talk back at the house. but, for now, let's go fetch Zia."
I replied while looking down. "Alright, father."
I walked towards him and hugged him.
"It's fine, everything's gonna be fine." as he pats my head.
"Let's go." I said.
We ran to where Zia was and told her that we needed to be home. We all we're preparing to go on our way to go home but, I collapsed to the ground while hearing them call on my name.
[ You human... did better than I imagined. ]
"A voice? again? I'm tired of hearing these voices..."
[ You! I helped you get through that, and you dare say you're tired of me?! ]
"I.. w-who are y-you?" ( Where is this place, I can't move or either see anything. )
[ Tch. I am your blood weapon, rejoice human! For I have chosen you to inherit what I have seen, have been through, and have exper- ]
"Oh! right, you're that voice on my head when I fell unconscious."
[ "Insolence! you dare to cut me off while giving you my blessings?! ]
"You're my blood weapon? But I am only 7 years old don't I have to be 10 for that?"
[ You are an exception." "Even if you are only seven years of age here, I can see further years worth in you. ]
"What do you mean? I'm only a 7-year-old kid." ( This is bad, I shouldn't let her know of my old world. )
[ You cannot lie in front of me. ]
"I'm sorry, lady but may I know what you meant by that or you might not like what I do to you."
[ You're a brave one; I knew I chose right! However, you're rude as well. Without me, you would have been dead by now. ]
"Well, that might be right. So, thank you, lady."
[ Be more grateful, you human! ]
"I- uhh Thank you very much, your ladyship?"
[ Hmph! I don't like what you call me, but it is enough for now, now you know your place! ]
[ Although you are a human, you possess great mana and knowledge about magic, surpassing that of everyone. ]
"Do you know about mana lady?"
[ Of course. ]
"Then- "
[ No ]
"What? I didn't say anything yet."
[ I can read your mind; we are one already. Don't think you can hide anything from me, Zeal Colt. ]
!!! ( That's my surname from the old world, so she can really read my mind. )
"Fine, what do you want from me? Surely you didn't help a kid that's about to die for no reason"
[ You catch on quick too. ]
"Just say it, lady."
[ I want you to kill the damned ruler of Unda Meda, Emer. ]
