Zuru almost fell, he tried to keep his consciousness. "Did I succeed?" Zuru raised his head, it was obvious in front of him that Arzlan was not moving.
"Whoa...." The whole army cheered loudly, this was their pride. After so many soldiers died because of one man now it's all over, victory still tastes sweet to them.
Alisha couldn't say anything, from a distance the girl had received orders not to do anything no matter what. "Why did it happen!" She covered her mouth with her palm, tears streaming down her face. Alisha's legs went limp until she couldn't stand up, her eyes glazed over to the ground. "I should have helped you since at the start!"
The large hole in his body was still oozing blood, it was all over, there was no sign that he would get back to stand up.
Zuru was being carried by two soldiers, his body could not be controlled properly. It took a long time for him to get back into the fight.
"Hero Zuru, let me finish this battle!" said the troop commander proudly.
The situation was not going to change, the Lizardmans remained in a corner. Even though many had died, but the number of soldiers was still enough to conquer the Lizardman's territory.
"Forgive me!"
"It's okay, we all here should have so much to thank for! Hero Zuru has helped a lot in this war, thanks to that we were also able to avoid a stranger who might be one of the Demon King's minions!"
Zuru started to be carried away, a strange flow of energy was suddenly felt. Everyone was curious about what the cold wind was blowing.
"Uh?" Alisha looked ahead, she saw a wisp of black energy that continued to circle Arzlan's body.
Everyone saw what that girl saw, the enormous energy rapidly increased. They wondered what had happened. Everyone even Demon King Nova was also surprised to see that.
"Of all beings could he be…" Nova had not felt the strange tremor that had entered his body in a long time. Arzlan's figure really surprised him.
"What exactly is it?" asked the troop commander.
Zuru asked the two warriors to turn his body, instantly eyes bulged when he saw the energy fluctuation from Arzlan's location. "What? There's no way he'd survive that attack of mine!"
Dish!!!
The wind blew very strongly, from the air a mysterious figure descended slowly. The change in his body completely shocked everyone.
The black armor that covered his body was like hardened skin, the design he saw was already very much like that of a dark lord creature.
Bright red eyes along with a smirk, Arzlan started walking closer to Zuru.
The aura that was generated made the soldiers' entire bodies go numb, they couldn't even run away.
"Is that Master Arzlan?" From a distance, Alisha could already feel a terrifying power from him.
"Uh… what is this?" Shamura kept glaring in shock, he hoped that this wasn't a disaster he was feeling.
The clouds darkened, the entire area was surrounded by swirling clouds, and the townspeople were still praying for goodness.
"Do not be afraid!" The troop commander started shouting loudly. "Remember he's alone while there are more than 10 of us, so it's not appropriate for us to be afraid of him! Everyone attack!"
The shout succeeded in encouraging the soldiers, they again stepped forward towards Arzlan.
By opening his palms many people died, and the attack instantly silenced everyone. Those soldiers stopped their footsteps, cold sweat continued to pour out profusely.
"Hey, what are you guys doing! Don't be afraid, it's time to get to work! Remember this is all for the future generations to come and for your children to have a decent life!"
Saliva splattered everywhere, that man had actually forced all the sounds in his body. His breath was tight, but his efforts were not in vain. The soldiers began to think that those words were indeed the truth, if they stopped then nothing would protect the future of the next generation.
Simultaneously they began to advance towards Arzlan.
"No! You guys don't do that!" Zuru's tone of voice will not reach their hearts, everyone is already focused on the main goal.
Arzlan took his sword stuck in the ground, the sword flew very fast.
Crash!!!
When the soldiers came, in just one slash Arzlan killed them. No more words of fear, all began to arrive towards Arzlan.
Chopping, slashed, sliced, beheaded had all happened to the soldiers, but they still advanced undaunted. Arzlan seemed to be cutting a banana tree, his movements were so smooth that in just a few minutes many soldiers had died.
"Damn!" The troop commander could not accept what had happened to his soldiers, without much thinking he rushed and spurred his horse towards Arzlan. "Die you!" shouted him with anger covering his face.
Shins!!!
A lightning-fast slash crisply sliced through that man's body, he just only can glare when he realized his hands and body had been ripped off.
"Commander..."
The soldiers are not retreating but are advancing, they hold the feelings and hopes of their leader. Death is no longer something scary, they quickly surrounded Arzlan.
Crash!!!
Once again Arzlan only used one swing of the sword to kill those soldiers, the atmosphere then became quiet. Of the dozens of soldiers now only less than 500 people remained, the fight was too short for Arzlan.
"Is he really a human? How can he have this much power!" Zuru just only can blink as it all happened, he wished could get out of this situation safely.
However, Arzlan had targeted him. Arzlan's palms were wide open.
"Shadow Pressure!"
The black orb shot out at high speed.
There was no way Zuru could dodge it. "Eargh..." Everything became very dark, his body felt like it was being stabbed by thousands of needles. Strange memories suddenly started to play in his head.
Those are all bad memories that have been passed by Arzlan. Zuru saw how the kingdom treated him, everything was clear until Zuru's heart also felt very sad to see it.
Zuru's entire body was burning until it turned black, he began to lose consciousness.
"I don't know if all of that happened to you, maybe this world was wrong from the start!"
Orb disappeared and left Zuru's body lying.
Arzlan raised his sword. "You bring him back to the palace, and tell your King that the Lord of Darkness will soon come and destroy everything there!"
The soldiers hurriedly took Zuru away from there.
Nova became sullen when heard the end of Arzlan's sentence.
