In the middle of the dark forest were 3 boys in the middle of battle, two of them had a sword known as Jian, they were attacking another boy who was dodging the cuts as if nothing had happened. Lú and Hé the twins of the Jian, these are 2 of the 4 strongest users who know how to wield this sword, but apparently their knowledge and skills are nothing in the face of the abnormal strength of Asterio, who dodged his attacks as if he read them perfectly, just like an open book.
"The time has come to attack them, don't you think?" Asterio smiled arrogantly, "I don't care if it's her sister, she tried to murder my brother and that's something unforgivable," in the blink of an eye, he punched both of them in the face.
He grabbed Hé by the right foot and then smashed him against the ground brutally, then he threw him into a bush, he walked in his direction while a cold look was noticeable on his face, Hé tried to get up, but it was difficult, a fracture in his right rib did not allow him to move properly, he barely managed to get back up, but he could not stand.
"What the hell are you?" Hé muttered hard.
"That shouldn't matter to you now, what you should do is worry about getting out of this alive," I take him by the neck and then lift him in the air, "try your safety first idiot, otherwise you will end up dying."
"Shut up!" He tried to headbutt Asterio, but to no avail.
"I know they are very important to you, but you must learn that if you are not able to protect them, in the end they will all die," Asterio said coldly, while looking at the blood that dripped from Hé's forehead.
"And you think you're strong?" An unknown voice was present, a strong pain in his stomach caused Asterio to spit blood, "answer me, are you strong?
The guy who had helped Guang had cut Asterio's abdomen, kicked the front smashing Asterio into a tree, he was bleeding from the abdomen and his mouth.
"That old man is very clever," thought Asterio.
Zeng waited for an opening in Asterio's defense, giving an accurate and effective blow, Asterio surprised saw how jets and jets of blood came out of his body, his clothes were stained red, he stood up making a mocking gesture.
"You can laugh despite having a fatal cut on your stomach, yes you're a strange child," Zeng said expressionlessly.
"An old man, a grandfather, hahahaha," he laughed loudly, "the problem is not with you, just let me kill that woman," he pointed to Guang.
"I'll punish her, I can cure your brother, we don't come to look for trouble, I accept responsibility for Guang's actions, so..."
Asterio hit the old man in the face smashing him against the trees, his expression was one of anger and uncontrolled fury.
"I don't want to deal with someone who has his time counted, better enjoy your old age...
Asterio was hit in the face by Zeng, smashing him into the trees as well.
"Allow me to express my gratitude for your concern, but I will have to fight if you refuse to do things the right way," Zeng drew his sword, "I will not kill you, I will only knock you out."
Asterio came out of the trees surprisingly without any sign of damage, his cut that was on his abdomen had closed, he was smiling friendly.
"I'm sorry, but I can endure much longer fighting, the real question would be, will you be able to resist fighting me any longer?"
Asterio was pierced in the stomach again, Zeng with great speed managed to pierce Asterio, who again spat out a large amount of blood.
"What happened, did it hurt?" Zeng smiled for the first time.
In a swift act Asterio with a swift and strong blow, pierced Zeng's stomach, bending it on the spot.
"What happened, was I very rude old man?" Asterio smiled mockingly.
Both contenders looked into each other's eyes, as blood came out of their mouths, they seemed to be level, Asterio's youth seemed to have an advantage against Zeng's old age, but also, Asterio's inexperience had him at a disadvantage against Zeng. It was a fairly even fight in terms of advantages, the question is who will fall first?

Inside a well-known hut, Wulls was on top of the wooden table, staring into Sofia's eyes, the latter being shocked to see a half-human and half-animal.
He carefully analyzed the question that Wulls had asked him, he remembered Astaro and at no time had he mentioned that he was a demon, perhaps his transformation looked very scary but even if he was or was not a demon, he would never tell anyone.
"Astaro," he paused, "he's a hard-working guy," he muttered at the end.
"You are a very interesting woman," cried Wulls, abandoning his Wolf-like form, "a worker, I suppose he is not what he seemed.
"Do you have any interest in them?"
Both girls were surprised when they saw Astaro enter, he was still bandaged, but apparently his health had improved rapidly.
"I wouldn't exactly say interest, but I would like to know about them."
"Are you some kind of abnormal girl like me?" Astaro mentioned, sitting in the middle of them.
"I'm a strange girl, abnormal?" "Well, maybe so," Wulls replied.
Wulls looked at the boy smiling, looked carefully at his face, at the same time as he did so, his master's face came to mind.
"You do look a lot like him," Wulls said, standing up.
Both people were surprised by the girl's statement, Astaro looked at her carefully while Sofia tried to make Astaro not move abruptly.
"Him?" You mean my brother! Do you know where it is? Astaro was startled, alarming Sofia, "if you know just tell me.
"Calm down kid, just calm down for a moment, will you?" Wulls chuckled.
He didn't even know the girl's name and was already demanding answers, where his manners were.
"I'm sorry, I was rude and hasty, excuse me," Astaro apologized politely, "my name is Astaro and I'm interested in knowing the location of the person you think I look like," he muttered gently.
At Astaro's action Wulls raised an eyebrow, his confusion was noticeable on his face, his face was identical to Asterio's, but his personality was incredibly different, despite not knowing Asterio at all he could tell one or another difference between him and his brother. Still astonished, she spoke a little confused.
"No, you are not quite alike," she said to herself, "my name is Wulls, and I do know your brother.
A happy expression was marked on Astaro's face, tears of happiness were overflowing his face, Sofia already knew about this, so she just hugged Astaro from behind.
"Thank God, now we can all be together," Astaro sobbed, smiling.
"You're a very strange boy," Wulls cried quietly.
"You endured like a champion Astaro," Sofia hugged Astaro tighter.
A few minutes passed after Wulls' revelation to Astaro, he regained his composure and then spoke to Wulls still respectfully.
"Wulls, right?" Wulls nods, "Where's my brother now?"
"Fighting to the death with a pretty strong old man, nothing out of the ordinary," he said sarcastically.
"What! I answer excitedly, "Is my brother fighting?" but it was a woman who had attacked me and not an old man.
"The woman was easily defeated, but the old man is a tough nut to crack," Wulls looked at the window.
"You don't seem to want to go and help him," Astaro said.
"Do you think it's necessary?" Wulls asked, "you know about your brother's abilities, don't you?"
"I know them perfectly, I said it in case you were worried about him.
"Hahahaha," Wulls laughed loudly, "for some strange reason I feel very calm.
"Are you my brother's partner?" Astaro asked curiously.
Wulls chuckled again as he watched Amelia behind Astaro, when the two exchanged glances Amelia stood behind Sofia.
"I think if I did, I'd have quite a few opponents on me," he laughed loudly.
Tempers calmed down for a moment, Sofia told him everything that Wulls told her about her and Asterio, Astaro was a little surprised to learn that Wulls was really his brother's pet, he found it very sick, and the girl looked 10 years old. From one moment to the next a white light illuminated the surroundings, drawing the attention of the beasts that were there, Wulls went out to take care of the beasts while Sofia, Amelia and Astaro got to safety, despite being able to stand up, Astaro still could not move at all, so Sofia forbade him to go out to help Wulls.
While savagely killing the beasts Wulls talked to his sister Tana, asking about Asterio's condition, fortunately he was fine, the fight was quite even, a very effective skill is regeneration, Asterio possessed that ability and it was a point in favor for him.
"I see, so Asterio intends to tire the old man to finish him off," Wulls said, as he killed more beasts.
"Actually, Asterio only wants to kill the lascivious woman, I think her name was Guang," Tana was carrying on the conversation with her sister telepathically.
"And what are you doing then fighting with the old man?" Let him kill the woman at once! I'm very bored here," she reneged.
"Well, he refuses to give up his partner's life, hence the trigger for the battle."
"Tsk! Stupid old man.
"Wulls...
"What's wrong?" She replied a little irritated.
"I'm very happy, aren't you?"
"Happy?" What are you talking about?
"Well, I have a name and so do you, it's not that. he said cheerfully.
"Yes, I like to have a name, too, even if it was a very bad one," she exclaimed a little smiling.
"How envious you make me, you can be outside doing funny things, and living with our master, surely you only annoy him.
"I'm not going to deny it to you," I answer simply, "but someday you can do it, I'm sure."
"Do you think?" I think so too," he said calmly.
"I'll go there in a moment.
"All right, Wulls," he said goodbye happily.
"Yes, see you later Tana," he replied in the same way.

"This old man, does he never get tired?" I thought.
I was fighting the old man who was still standing, after all the blows I have given him, he seemed to be a little tired, but still his attacks were fast and strong. I never thought I would be so strong, my goal is not to kill him really, I just want to murder that woman, that's all, I'm trying to kill my brother, can't he understand it? She cannot justify that action, no matter how much she mentions that he will take charge of punishing her, for some strange reason my fury does not cease.
We are both still standing, the tiredness was remarkable, the physical wear and tear of the old man should be mortal, having already reached this point, I would not be surprised if that old man is actually someone abnormal, up to this point in my life, for everything I have lived, I would not be surprised to see a huge dragon.
"You're a very spiteful boy," Zeng said.
"And you're too irritating an old man," I replied irritably.
His statements bothered me to the point of jumping a vein on my forehead, those stupid statements so notorious made me angry, of course I am spiteful! They tried to murder my brother, what the hell did he want me to do? That I was happy to see how they killed my brother, he's a stupid old man... but also very strong.
My clothes were torn and stained with blood, I think I liked this clothes much more than when I was a child, I looked at him carefully while I watched how his muscles grew little by little, I noticed how his eyes glowed red, it was surprising that the clothes he was wearing did not break, it grew about ten centimeters. As I said before, what happens from now on will no longer surprise me at all, although this may be an exception.
Zeng: Demonic Form
The corpulence of his body was very different from before, he also had black marks on his face, I looked at him carefully when suddenly I was thrown face first against some trees, taking them with me in the encounter. A strong blow to my face was the cause of my shooting, a strong pain in my face caused me to bring my hand directly to my face, my nose was bleeding in a surprising way, if I could not regenerate definitively I would have already lost to him. I got up from the rubble and then saw the old man in front of me, he had an expressionless face.
"Learn to forgive," he said without further ado.
"Excuse me?" You're crazy," I shot out again.
"She also went through difficult times, and although that is not an excuse to defend what she was about to do, even so, I can't allow you to kill her," I lift myself by the neck as if nothing happened.
"Shut your mouth!" I tried to get out of the grip, but it was useless, his grip was too strong.
"For a young man you're too stubborn, that would only be expected of an old man like me," he said without further ado.
My breathing became weaker and weaker, while the brightness that surrounded me disappeared, on the verge of unconsciousness the only thing I could say was.
"Go to hell," after that I fell unconscious.
