Chapter 14 - Chapter 13 - Era of Young stars (4)

While the Sun is slowly rising from the horizon but Mountains are exploding, the entire forest just disappeared in under a moment. Kilometers size countless metal spikes shot from the sky like thunder Strom.

Those spikes changed into lava and that lava started to evaporate the entire sea. Letter on lava converter onto metal and again changed into spikes.

While dodging those spikes attacks Grace directly attacks on Zyon by his weapon. And changed that weapon into lava.

But Zyon directly punched him by his own lava. Zyon immediately shot two gigantic spikes in his direction but Grace changed those spikes into lava and tried to capture Zyon.

They continue their fight like that for such a long time, it's not like they want to defeat each other it's more like they are enjoying their fight and they want to continue fighting like that.

They are doing that all the time. They are just fighting with each other all the time. Even at that point of time Zyon is clearly on advantage and that is cleared by his stamina on his voice.

"Hey man!! Are you about to give up. You are just creating lava by my metal, probably you are out of stamina, that you can't even create lava."

"Yeah I'm. I accept your strength."

"Thanks for the compliment."

They continue their fight like this for a long time. And continuously destroying mountains and lands.

But at one point of time, both of them faced each other from the top of two mounts. Zyon immediately pointed his weapon in his direction. He doesn't even become tired even after fighting all the days long.

But Grace is totally on disadvantages. He thinks to give up for a moment but he also wants to continue this fight, because he is enjoying that a lot.

But suddenly he distracted for a moment and helped with that distraction, Zyon immediately hit on his neck.

Grace didn't understand why Zyon did that, before he could figure out something else he unconsciously fell onto the ground.

Now two people are starting head-on. Zyon wasn't able to see his face due to his blindfold. But he is feeling too much aura from another person.

"You don't have to think much. I'm Hedro, one of the Young successors. I'm sure Xen already told you about myself, Zyon."

"Yeah he told us once, about you."

"Us?"

On the other side Fray and Rechel finally comes out from the cave in the morning.

"Thanks for free me."

"I didn't really free you. You will stay with me until the end of all rounds or until my fight against the strongest around there. In return I'll ensure your safety and help you to improve...."

"Yeah please remind your all of those promises, Fray."

"I'll try my best...."

A red-yellow bird was looking at them all the time. That bird is made with flame. Fray also noticed that bird there but he doesn't look at that stuff properly.

.

.

.

.

They started to walk through the small path in the middle of two crops field.

"Hey you are the 1st Ranking holder in all of those 3 rounds."

"Yeah I'm.."

"How did you do that?"

Fray didn't reply to her in words, he just replied to her by his sword. Fray takes out his sword and cuts the mountain vertically in half, which is in front of them.

Rechel noticed a cave or something like a hidden way inside the mountain. Rechel understands that Fray already noticed that hidden way from the beginning. That's why he just destroyed that mountain.

"Where are we going now??"

"Rechel did trust in my strength??"

"No doubt."

Fray feels undescribable happiness from inside for the first time. He again put his sword in the position. He started to explain her.

"Actually there're two most strong presences I'm continuously feeling. Of course the first one is that bastard, Xen. And the other one is of a very powerful existence. That is one of the reasons why Xen joined this event. Yesterday I just confirmed this from him to kill the monster by myself...."

"Are you sure you can do it alone?"

"If I fail, then don't worry all of you will die too."

With that Fray takes his first step to enter inside the cave way with Rechel, while holding her Right Hand.

Before they could completely enter inside, someone called them from behind. After seeing who the person is. Fray is like, 'Now why are you here?'

But Rachel becomes shocked and she shouts out, "Elis why are you here? Go and Find your lost boyfriend!!"

Fray already knows who is standing in front of them, he also figured out about that before when they came out from the cave. She is one of the Young Successors and strongest of Them all. The one who is capable of shaking the world. Fray slowly turned his head in the direction of Elis, he couldn't stop smiling.

"Princess Elis, He already told me about you."

Elis becomes confused and annoyed after hearing that she couldn't understand what Fray exactly means. Over that Fray is holding the Hand of Rechel, that's why she became angry.

"Leave her alone, you...."

"I won't."

"Now there's no use. I'll just take her with me after I take you down."

Fray looks at Rechel and she also looks at him. It's not like Rechel wants to go with Elis it's more like, Elis will just take her away from Fray.

Fray instantly takes out his sword and directly attacks Elis, without any hesitation he tries to cut off her head. The moment when his attack is about to cut her head, Fray's left eye reacts to this sudden action, while it is covered by black eye patch.

Because of that Fray wasn't able to cut off her head. He just missed the attack and directly slipped behind her. Elis noticed and reacted to it when Fray was behind her. And without wasting a moment, she tried to crushed his head with her maximum flame power punch. But Fray grabbed her hand without even looking at her.

Fray is totally shocked, he just wants to know why his left eye react like that. He slowly turned his face, Fray now directly looked at her eyes.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm Elis..."

Fray is expecting an explainable answer but he figured out he has to wait until he gets the chance to meet with the Omniscient one.

.

.

.

.

Both Fray and Elis are now calmed down. Elis understands that Fray won't hurt Rechel no matter what.

"I know Rechel would be more safe around you. But don't you think that you have to leave her alone with me..."

"I won't change my mind."

"Okay then I'll go with you two inside the cave."

Fray isn't satisfied with her opinion or decisions because he desperately wants Elis to meet with Xen.

"I think you need to go for Xen."

"I don't know why you didn't just cut off my head. But I know you won't try this again. As for Xen my birds are trying to find his location."

Fray didn't tell her about his left eye, he just calmed down back then and explained to her that he was with Xen for the previous one year. But now Fray doesn't know why Elis can be that much sure about someone like him, who just almost cut her head a moment ago.

Fray ignored everything for now and was ready to go inside the cave together with Elis and Rechel.

Hedro and Zyon are just roasting Xen together all the time but now Zyon is disappointed by Hedro's offer.

"I refuse your offer."

"Then what about 25 Billion?"

"Not gonna change my opinion."

"Why you follow him? You are way stronger than Xen."

"But his mindset, intelligence and way of thinking is on the next level only Fray is close to his thinking level."

"I got it, as you described about the strength of that boy,... Fray. Now I'm truly excited about him."

"So what's the point of giving me that much of an offer?"

"Will you kill him for money?"

"Why are you even asking?"

Hedro leaves from there with a smile, "I would like to see your eyes next time."

When Hedro leaves from there, Zyon immediately hits Grace to wake him up.

"Hey you bastard!! Why did you do that?"

But Zyon ignored his anger and slowly asked him, "Now you are fully recovered. Wanna continue the fight?"

"No, next time."

Honestly they are a little bit hungry now, they are just looking around for something.

As their luck, a dragon arrived there with the intention of killing them. Both Zyon and Grace look at each other, they give a horrible smile after looking at the dragon.

.

.

.

.

"Not as delicious as Xen's cooking, but not that much bad at all."

"Thanks for the confusion compliment."

Slowly they finish their eating and Zyon stands up from his position. While fixing his blindfold he looks at Grace directing.

"Grace...."

"What?"

Zyon completely fixed his blindfold and moved in another direction.

"Actually Your physical strength never makes you strongest. If the physical strength decides true power then don't you think dragons would be the most powerful creations? If your attack just can hurt your opponent then only you have to make a perfect plan to defeat him. That's all, you will become more powerful than him."

Without a doubt he was targeting Xen by that statement. But he wasn't sad not even emotional, he was just satisfied that he came here. He is satisfied that he joined the journey of that person.

With a full of satisfied smile, Zyon takes his leaves from there.

On the other side Xen finally wakes up inside the cave where he intentionally captures himself.

He fixed his body shape and cracked his bones. Xen takes his spear and comes out while breaking the rock on top of him.

After coming out from the cave he takes a long breath while feeling the sunlight on his entire body.

"Good luck Fray."

[4th Round time is over. Your ranking will be shown after a while.]

.

[Your Ranking of the 4th Round is 15]

A person is also observing Xen from a little distance, he also noticed his ranking.

"Hey man your ranking is 15. Are you that much weaker"

Xen doesn't care about his rank, not even when it's 15th. But he is excited for the person who is in front of him.

"Why are you asking? Just confirm that by yourself. 'Evan', one of the young Successors."
