"Hmph!"
Zeke flashed a wry smile; he had not stopped there.
Zeke dove through the water curtain, out into the Forest, and went after Kerr, still mid-flight.
Zeke reminded Kenzo who he was dealing with, he stomped onto Kenzo, and it sent him crashing down into the ground below.
Kenzo let out a scream of pain, both hearing the snapping of bone as they crashed into the dirt, it even sent out shockwaves that ruffled the trees.
As the dirt kicked up, the leaves fell gently down onto the cracked grounds below.
As the dust clouds dissipated, it revealed Zeke as he stood upon Kenzo above a web of cracks, like a spider with its prey.
Kenzo coughed a fit, and spewed blood out onto the ground, his looks showed of the disbelief he felt.
He stared up at Zeke, eyes full of hatred.
He could not believe how an insect like Zeke had bested him, and now standing atop him.
Kenzo could only writhe helplessly while he glared at Zeke.
"H-how?! How is this possible?! How did you get so strong! You're just a measly Strength of level si- No! How did you become a Strength of level eight!?"
Kenzo screamed at Zeke, the color drained from his face as his sentence ended.
It had only been two days and yet this runt had broken through by two levels?
Kenzo could not comprehend the man before - the man who stood on top of him.
"You... you've already absorbed the draconic energy?!"
Kenzo's voice carried with malice, hatred, envy, and most of all, fear.
Kenzo could not find any other reason to justify what had happened.
That prize was his, and his alone.
He was furious, hateful even.
"You talk too much!"
Zeke spat, contemplating the finishing blow.
"Heh. never have I thought you would absorb the draconic energy so soon..." muttered Kenzo.
"Tell me, how did you do it?Do not make me ask a second time!"
"I am Kenzo! Heir to the Winged Serpents! If you kill me, the people from Winged Serpents will hunt you down!"
Kenzo exclaimed loudly, he felt Zeke's motive, his only chance now was to threaten the boy.
If he survived this, he would have his revenge!
However, Zeke predicted Kenzo's thoughts.
He had just stolen the Heirs precious prize, were he to let Kenzo go, he would undoubtedly return with the people from Winged Serpents, full of vengeful intent.
"How about this; you let me go, and that's that," Zeke asked with slight sarcasm.
"If you kill me, the Winged Serpents will kill you, and all you love! Your whole family will die, I swear by it!" Kenzo spat back.
After he saw Zeke's silence, Kenzo let out a wry smile.
After all, he was a Winged Serpent, one of the great powers in this world, he would not dare strike down their heir.
"Heh heh..." Zeke playfully chuckled, his smile cold and void of feelings.
He lifted his right foot, and sent it down onto Kenzo forcefully.
Kenzo screamed in agony, a howl that rang throughout the Feather Forest, and it startled many a beast.
Zeke lifted his foot from Kenzo's chest cavity as he allowed the blood to gush out.
"You f*cking... you..." Kenzo's eyes now carried tremendous fear, no longer did his bloodlust remain.
He never considered that Zeke would actually kill him, knowing his background and all.Was he not afraid?
"So what?" Zeke said, a cold smile plastered on his face, his foothanged over Kenzo's face.
"You... will... regret this!" Kenzo screamed.
A scream which was cut short by a squishy stomp.
"I don't," muttered Zeke as he glanced at Kenzo's mangled corpse.
In his previous life, Zeke had met many enemies, the Winged Serpents were the least of his worries.
"Dumb*ss!"
He spat at the corpse.
Zeke bent over, searched through Kenzo's body with the hopes for some good loot.
"Wh- Oh wow!"
Zeke's Might stirred, he pulled out the object from Kenzo's pockets.
"What's this?!"
