Chapter 30 - Chapter 30: Defeat & Despair

Adzima pov

After hearing Falco's statements, Zalgo burst out laughing. His mocking taunts fueled the tension as we faced an insurmountable adversary.

Zalgo:"Bugs like you... Want to defeat me? Hahahahahhahahahaha!"

He then began to confront us.

Zalgo:"I would like to see you try"

After Zalgo said that, a lot of magical circles emerged around him, forming a ring of confinement. Chains sprang from the circles and wrapped around Zalgo's body, immobilising him. Falco then also suddenly appeared in front of Zalgo and swiftly slashed him with his swords. But unfortunately, his slash had no effect on Zalgo.

Falco:"Tch!!"

Zalgo struggled to escape from the chains, but Tetron's magic was too strong for him. Meanwhile, he was surrounded by a swarm of ink mice and paper bees that bit and stung him relentlessly. Arvin hurled the glass shards into the air, where they enlarged and multiplied. He then directed them to rain down on Zalgo like a barrage of sharp projectiles. Ramadhan used his incredible speed to dart and strike Zalgo from different angles, while Ryan launched rockets from his hands that exploded on impact. The Troublemakers and Falco were unleashing their full power on Zalgo, while we watched them in amazement.

Anjas:"Wow! They sure always react so fast at times like this"

Dwiyan:"Well, they have captain with them, so they have to act fast"

After Dwiyan said that, we snap out of our trance, and I urged our group into action.

Adzima:"Guys! What are we waiting for? We have to help them"

Everyone nodded, and we rushed to help the Troublemakers and Falco fight Zalgo.

Unfortunately, it isn't that easy. Even when all of us are attacking him all at once, none of us can even scratch his body, and the worst part is that Zalgo is almost free from the chains that bind him.

When Zalgo managed to finally break free, he unleashed powerful forces that threw us away.

Riski:"Damn it!"

Tetron:"Sorry guys, he is too strong, even for me"

Adzima:"Don't worry about it, Tetron. We shouldn't have let you hold him by yourself in the first place"

Fian:"Got any plans, captain?"

Falco:"I am still working on it"

Zalgo then began to counterattack us, and we could only dodge his attacks because we were unable to parry them and our attacks did nothing on him.

Aditya:"Arvin!!"

Arvin:"Still thinking, sorry"

While we were struggling to dodge his attacks, Zalgo just laughed evilly and mocked us.

Zalgo:"Hahahaha!! Is that all you have?"

Zalgo:"Pathetic bugs!"

Zalgo intensified his attacks and fastened them so that we couldn't dodge them. Many of us got hit by his attacks, but thankfully no one got seriously injured.

Zalgo:"This is so fucking boring"

Zalgo then raised his hand, and we all sensed an imminent danger from him, so we sprang further away. A lot of power gathered around his raised hand, transforming into a massive energy sword.

Zalgo swung his sword downward with all his might. Falco tried to stop it with his own swords, but sadly, they were no match for Zalgo's weapon. His swords shattered instantly, leaving Falco defenseless. Zalgo's sword then struck the ground, creating a massive shockwave and a huge crater where they had been standing. Zalgo then slammed his fist into Falco's face, sending him flying back several meters.

All:"captain!!!"

We call out to him, concerned about him.

Falco:"I am fine"

We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw Falco. The punch shattered his glasses and knocked off his hat, revealing his true identity. His hair was a fiery shade of dark auburn, and his eyes were sharp and narrow.

Falco was actually Fadli, our long-lost friend that we thought was dead, but it turns out he is always with us.

Adzima:"What??? Impossible"

We couldn't believe what we see. We then saw Zalgo suddenly appeared right in front of Falco..... No, Fadli. We were still so confused and shocked, so we don't know what to do. Zalgo wasted no time and immediately strangled Fadli's neck with his claws.

Tetron:"Shit!!"

All of us quickly rushed to save Fadli, but Zalgo blocked us and wouldn't let us get near them.

Zalgo then stabbed Fadli's chest with his sword, and I immediately screamed.

Adzima:"NOOOOO!!!"

I don't know what happened next, because when I came back to my senses, I already hugged Fadli's unconscious body, Zalgo's right eye was already wounded, and I immediately passed out after that.

Fian pov

Fian:'What the hell is going on!'

We witnessed Fadli being stabbed by Zalgo, then we heard Adzima's cry of anguish, but then we saw the swords in Fadli's hands release a dark miasma, forming into black swords. Fadli then swiftly slashed Zalgo's right eye using the swords, forcing Zalgo to release him. We then saw a bright light from Adzima, and when we looked at her, we saw her holding Fadli's unconscious body, and she fainted after that. I glanced at Tetron, and we nodded, then we teleported everyone back to the mansion. When we arrived at the mansion, we quickly brought Fadli and Adzima to Fadli's room to check on them. To our surprise, there are no scars or bruises at all on Fadli's body.

Arvin:"How is this possible?"

Arvin:"We clearly saw him being stabbed through the chest, so how is there nothing, not even a scratch on his body now?"

Dwiyan:"It looks like everything has been completely healed, even the wounds he got from Adzima are also gone"

Qori:"But this is absurd, no normal human can regenerate that fast"

Fian:"I thought we already agreed that captain is not a normal human"

Fian:"No one on this team is normal, and Fadli is the most abnormal of us"

After checking on them, we then heard a notification sound from the hologram room. We then come to the room, and we see that the computer has already finished analysing something.

"Analysing complete, creating all possible counterattacks"
