Chapter 33 - Unexpected Foe

"On the other hand, in Vah Medow Village, things are looking grim," Faiz said. "Sir, at this rate, they will breach our defenses," Zenon said. "We have to keep fighting, no matter what. We can't lose here."

Then the earth walls start to crack. Zenon says, "Terra, keep it still. We need some more time." Terra said, "Sir, I am almost out of magic."

Then the main enemy shows himself. He said, "Oh, you knights are still alive." Zenon said, "So you are the one responsible for reviving the dead criminals." The villain said, "I am Vorald, and I am, in fact, the one resurrecting the dead." Vorald said, "There is something in this village we want."

Zenon said, "Vorald, huh? Or should I say Euroz Malo, former 3-star VC of Malacor? You were an honorable man, so why did you betray us? We all thought..." Euroz interrupted, "Thought what? That I was dead?"

Zenon continued, "So why did you do it? What did terrorism offer that we couldn't?" Euroz said, "Truth." Zenon asked, "What?" Euroz explained, "Being a knight is pointless. As a knight, I was forced to oppress the same innocent people I was supposed to protect."

Zenon questioned, "What are you trying to say?" Euroz replied, "The knighthood had forced me to do a lot of evil deeds. I was forced to execute innocent villagers despite being a VC. I couldn't even stop my own subordinates from doing what's wrong."

Zenon stated, "So you joined a terrorist organization, started reviving long-dead criminals. So what made you any different?" Euroz defended, "At least it's the truth. I am not forced to kill and oppress the innocent people I am supposed to protect."

Zenon concluded, "Even if what you said is true, no matter what, I can't allow you to succeed here and take over Vah Medow, no matter what."
