"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!"
"As you heard.... Liar…" replied Eden as he gazed down at him with his cobalt blue eyes suddenly glowing in red, "you may think that you are acknowledge of all the history of your family...You may feel proud of it however, what you are blinded from is the reality…."
"HOW DARE YOU!!!" roared Zen from behind when Habour stepped in by stretching forth his arm, avoiding his stand.
"Let us give him a few seconds…" was his suggestion.
This made Eden smile as he replied, "And that is enough to rage you three…."
"Speak out what you have…." Squeaked Roland his hair tighter into his fist. It pained him sternly as though his brain would pop out of his head any second yet, he remained calm facing his agony. He went on,
"You three are nothing but, side sidekick who are looking for a way to be praised by your family. This family is a respected one however, it is also known as proud as a peacock. You may be selfish to cover up your dark secret under your white surface however, keep one thing in your mind...… I am well aware of you all history.
My knowledge has forced me to be aware of which side is fake and which is reality. Be aware that you can't hide anything from me…." a grin drew on his face while glaring into his opponent's eyes.
"I WILL KILL YOU!!" charged Zen a red ball in his hand that shone in the entire hall. The two boys withdraw from his way.
In a swift, the power was fired straight at Eden. It hit the victim, creating a massive explosion with huge weave and force in the era.
"He's dead…" smirked the attacker, complaining that it was foolish of the two to keep him alive for long, "A child can be killed in one blow…"
"I don't think so…." replied Roland puzzling his brothers.
The three brothers waited for the smoke to clear off when unexpectedly, coughing was heard.
This turned all dumbfounded.
Once the dust was wiped off, the results seemed frustrating. The blow that Zen used on Eden could tear the child into pieces millions, leaving no trace of humans behind but here, Eden was still there chained in cuffs.
Yet, he was covered in all bloody wounds. From his head till his feet, all were stained in red.
One question was shared among the three bros wasn't the dark wall barrier defeated?
"I am not so sure, Habour…" replied Roland as he paced towards the prisoner, "Not only the dark wall however," he stood in front and noticed the boy still breathing with his shut lip while blood was pouring out from his mouth, "He used the power of Zen to heal himself." predicted the man by just one look, "I don't understand how?"
His fist clenched in rage. He added that it was not possible without a healing ability then how did this boy covert the attack into a defense source while he was been stuck by the blow….
Only healing powers can change your conditions.
If counted it wouldn't even affect any wounds to the victim then how even after receiving an extreme attack the victim was still breathing though he is only a bloodline holder...?
...…Essence....
What these three brothers didn't have a piece of knowledge was about the element called Essence.
When the attack struck, Eden's lips spoke "Essence…."
The attack was a source of killing energy, powered up with strong force and deadly explosion to tear one into pieces.
On the other hand, the element Essence converted the striking energy into a recovery series as both the features require strength and mana to move out.
Think about it….
Though the attack would perform its duty in wounding the target yet, it would not hurt him but, turn into a force of healing power.
Due to this Eden Locker was safe.
Roland punched the boy on his face which swung him aside. He kicked him on his back and pressed the weakened body under his feet, thrice with all his force as he hoped to break his arms.
As a result of this, the chained cuffs began to bleed. The red liquid ran down his arms turning his shirt into a red cloak. He dragged his hair and kicked his chest when a scream deafened the entire hall.
The prisoner began to vomit out a mouthful of blood over himself. He exhaled deeply trying to hold his breath through pressure which resulted in him in tears.
He was in severe pain due to wounds all over him.
At this terrible moment, he just hoped that it was better he died rather than stay alive and bear the torture.
There was a dark hope in him.
Knowing that at this stage no one will come to his rescue.
There was no one for him behind.
Not a single one was there for him in this world.
None a single person would even rush in search of him.
In reality, he was born alone in this world and would die alone.
On the other side of the stage, Roland watched his prisoner closely, noticing him turning pale he leaned losing every life in his body.
This turned him grim. He pulled out a sliver of the shiny knife from his inner pocket threatening,
"Let's finish your misery…." he drowns his blade straight at Eden's back, stabbing his right shoulder.
The boy screamed in wrath, shouting and yelling to please stop this!
He cried out that he had enough and wanted to be alone.
"I BEG YOU PLEASE STOP DOING THIS!!!!!! PLEASE!!!" he choked in tears of agony, begging him to spare his life.
Here, Roland smirked replying, as he aimed the blade at his heart,
"We could have used our bullet but this way is more fun…. Do not worry….one more strike and you are gone…."
These words....
These statements shocked Eden's mind.
"Wait...it's the same back there…" a thought ran in his head, "The time of the exile...These words were his…. that knight.... he has repeated them..."
His eyes opened as he wondered to himself could it be this is the end....one more strike and I am dead…. does that mean I failed?
I couldn't make it.
What I begged the system was useless.
This freezes him in his position. He couldn't understand whether he should hope to move on or die here. He did get a second chance yet, that also going to be a waste... Then what's the use of all this?
What's the result?
Eden couldn't set his mind straight. He thought he was lost...…
When all is lost...…then all is found….
As Eden was lost in his thoughts [TING] the system appeared with an unexpected result.

[CONGRGULATIONS]
[YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED IN YOUR SURVIVAL MISSION!]
[YOUR REWARDS ARE IN YOUR INBOX]
[GAINED 36 EXP]
[IT'S OVER AND YOU WILL RETURN!]
[GOOD LUCK]
Reading all this in one open eye, Eden was the dumb head. He didn't understand what all this meant, "Over…. Return … What's going on?" he could only ask.
The moment Roland was about to stab Eden into his heart from his back suddenly, a fifth voice interrupted,
"You know it will be better if you attack him when he is a bit older…"'
All three turned startled. They twisted to the spacious hall at the left only to find a young man in a dark blue robe wearing a similar color hood.
He was smiling at them as he was standing at the center of a red ring. This shocked them out of their skin, as the three brothers recognized him, they yelled at once,
"PRINCIPLE OF KNOWLEDGE!!"
