meanwhile as the heated fight continued between Noel and Lincon, Lincon was communicating with commander Nax via the transmission technique;
"Nax, I want to tell you the truth behind my crime, the disappearance of the queen,
Maria".
After a slight pause from Lincon he continued, "she was my lover, the King had his eyes on her and I had to forfeit my love for her, but that didn't mean she did the same.
she couldn't forfeit her love for me and with her help and my hard work I rose through the rank in the army.
After five years of separation, she sorted after me after she heard about my achievement in the army, and slowly, we started to rekindle the love that we once shared.
But it all took a wrong turn when she got pregnant which she intended to put on the king.
but to no avail because he was always busy with political issues.
When he eventually found out about her pregnancy, he was furious and wanted to eliminate the queen, he ordered me to execute the queen.
but as faith may have it, he didn't know he was giving me my lover and my unborn child.
The idiot king actually thought I was furious because I showed slight murderous intent when she told him she was pregnant.
I was ordered to make her death as discrete as possible; we left the royal capital to execute my royal order, taking the perfect opportunity I ran away with the love of my life and we spent the most special six months of my life.
Unfortunately for me she died while giving birth to our son, his name is Laston he is currently not in the village, but if fate allows your parts to cross you should brush him into a strong warrior like his father.
I have kept him away from the world of magic because that was what Maria wanted, but he can't be save if he's weak".
Nax was left in confusion and said why are you telling me all this.
Lincon then replied, that's because am not confident I will leave this fight with my life intact.
This monster, he is definitely holding back on me, at that moment a chain was going through his left shoulder, using his other hand he ripped out the chain from his shoulder.
He then sharpened his aura and multiple swords started to appear in the air.
Noel seeing this spectacle smiled, "you finally decided to show your special ability", within a fragment of a second hundreds of sword could be seen and from different direction they were heading for one target, which was none other than Noel.
Noel used his chains to form a tornado, and once Lincon's sword came in contact with the chains his sword disintegrated.
"Just like I predicted, he was holding out on me Lincon said inwardly".
"Damn it you are a fucking warlord and you are telling me you are going to die by the hands of an executioner.
"Nax!!!! you have to be strong and act tough for me, this executioner is two levels above me, and with only those few words, shivers that reached the bones ran through Commander Nax's body.
"He might be two levels than me but I will be leaving him a parting gift, Nax! brace yourself"....
At that moment the sword heading towards Noel doubled.
Noel was not fazed he was confident in his ability, but at the last minute, his face paled because half of the sword heading his way suddenly stopped, and faced the direction of the trio consisting of Nax, Slicer, and Fervor.
In a fragment of a second with a speed that exceeds the speed of sound, an unexpected attack launched itself at the trio, but commander Nax was prepared through the ongoing conversation.
He quickly disappeared from where the attack was concentrated, immediately the attack pattern changed.
Going the extra mile to erect multiple barriers to protect himself, even with that he didn't come out unscathed due to the range of the attack being enormous.
The barrier couldn't withstand the attack and three swords got through, one impaled him to the ground, another impaled his shoulder then the last one went through his lower abdomen.
As for Slicer and Frevo they erected a barrier but the swords easily tore through their defenses killing Slicers instantly, the sword had impaled his skull.
As for fervor he was alive but in a battered condition, one would prefer to be dead than to be in the state Frevor was in.
Then Lincon then retrieved one of the swords and infused a tremendous amount of spiritual energy into it, firing it off like a projectile to a certain direction.
Noel was so furious.
Although the king thought that Lincon was not that big of a deal, he had to send Noel so that he would not lose any of his hench men if his speculation about Lincon happens to be wrong.
So, he was practically a bodyguard but Lincon exceeded his expectations, not only that,
But because of his earlier outburst he has failed his mission as a high-level executioner and is going to become a laughing stock among high-ranking executioner's.
In rapid succession multiple chains were created, noel in his frenzied state created tornado made out of chains, and not just normal chains, but clawed chains.
Noel eyes could be seen glowing blue as he was using his inner spiritual power coupled with his special ability, "he then shouted I have underestimated you, but I won't let you make me a total failure, I won't let you kill Chopper".
Immediately after that he launched his chain toward the same direction Lincon had fired a sword earlier.
But the speed at which the chain flew far surpassed the speed Lincon had launched the sword.
he then faced Lincon and disappeared instantly and appeared behind him, his chains turned into a fist and punched Lincon.
Lincon scaded on the floor for a minute before stabilizing himself with his sword.
The moment he stood firm on the ground; another attack came from below erupting the hard soil sending him into the sky.
Before Lincon could stabilize himself on air, he suddenly heard a shout; "HEAVEN TRANSCENDENCE!!!!".
And with that, multiple chains descended from the heavens and impaled Lincon from different direction, Lincon was suspended on air, blood could be seen dripping from different body part.
He moved his head slightly with a smile and faced Noel, with his eyes glowing white these words left his mouth, "SACRED SWORD ART DIMINISHING STRIKE".
Swords instantly appeared in the surrounding attacking Noel slashing him from different angle.
Though he used his chains to deflect some of the attack, he didn't come out unscathed.
He was slashed at multiple points, one of the swords going through his left thigh, not only that, his clothes were nothing to write home about, it was in shreds.
He tore the remanent of his clothing and his face could be seen.
He was a man that looked in his 30's, but they all knew he couldn't be young knowing his rank in the hierarchy of power.
A fierce face could be seen, He had tattoos that ran from his abs up to his neck, Lincon then said to Nax, "you should imprint this face into your soul and if you see my boy train him to kill this bastard in my stead".
"Good bye my dear student".
At that moment Nax wanted to move so badly but he was impaled to the ground.
He was not a fool he knew that even in full strength he could not take Noel down.
He could only swallow up his sadness and say goodbye, at that moment Noel tore Lincon into different segments.
meanwhile, a man could be seen running at full speed.
Just a hundred miles behind him a sword with a frightening aura could be seen heading towards his direction, in few seconds a clawed chain collided with the sword and a huge explosion could be heard, causing Chopper to look behind.
The forest was no longer a forest but a desolate deserted plain land.
The heat exuding from the explosion was so massive that even other parts of the forest that was not affected became destroyed.
Chopper then looked towards his destination and poured every ounce of spiritual energy into his legs sprinting like his life depends on it.
Sweat could be seen on his face after killing Lincon, pulling the sword that went through his thigh, he was furious.
Noel's anger was nowhere settled, he glanced at the village, looking at it with extreme killing intent which sent chills down the spines of the resident of the village.
which had become dead silent since the earlier pronouncement of commander Nax.
Noel flew into the sky just directly above the middle of the village and started to gather his spiritual energy he then said in a booming voice, "for harboring a national criminal Lincon ex-general commander of the royal guards you must also have a fate similar to his".
Then with a booming voice he shouted, "RIGGLE DEVASTATION HALLOW GROUND".
At that moment thousands of chains left his body but these chains had clawed segment that extended seven inches which wriggled like snakes and covered vintage positions in the village.
With slight hand movement he then shouted "BLIZZARD!" and with that statement those chains started wriggling at a frightening velocity and started to grind the civilians into minced meat.
even the various infrastructure was not left out, every single thing was shredded to dust and all this destruction was caused by a single entity...
As all this were going on two boys could be seen with a basket loaded with a full stock of fish, as they were heading back to the village.
With the village at sight, they suddenly could feel the earth trembling, when they looked at the village it was no longer in its position what could be seen was a patched hollow land mass.
Lynx felt killing intent that shook him to the bones which was not supposed to be possible due to the distance they were from the village, but he could feel the danger.
Lynx dragged Lincon into the bush and they both witnessed as the village flattened to the ground. Laston screamed in a muffled voice, "Dad"!!,
he wanted to fight out of lynx grasp but Lynx said to him with a low voice, "your dad is gonna die and am sorry about that, but he is gonna die without regrets knowing that your nowhere near the village.
currently, if you run in there you won't achieve anything other than death".
and whoever is doing this is at a different level than your average human", Laston struggled a little then asked "what do you mean by that, this is not cause by any person it's an earthquake, a natural disaster you dummy".
Lynx grunted inwardly "you stupid brat you don't know anything about the world you live in",
Laston was in tears as he watched the Village get destroyed, Noel was about to leave when he looked a particular direction. "no one will leave here alive.'' and after that he began flying towards the direction.
Laston was in tears, suddenly Lynx felt a sensation around his body and at that instant he held Laston then chanted, "SECRET BEAST TECHNIQUE CORE DRIVE" then a beastly aura exuded from his body and immediately cover their being and camouflage their location.
Just as he did that Noel appeared out of thin air, Lynx quickly gave Laston hand signs and with that they both nodded and held their breath; even though laston was still held tightly in his grasp, "I could have sworn I sensed human life from this location".
"All this happened because of that bastard Lincon I wish I could rip him to pieces all over again".
When Laston heard this his heart sank he nearly left his position, but Lynx easily over powered him.
But things where not easy for Lynx because currently he was using a technique that was meant to be a last resort, as this particular power was feeding on his life energy due to using magic which was far above his ability as a shapeshifter, sweat could be seen on his face.
But just as he had appeared he disappeared and appeared just in front of commander Nax and said, "I see you still got life in you, you're not all that useless like the rest of them, he then pulled the swords that were in his body and healed him.
heading to where frevor was he sighed then said, "you can't be healed, he destroyed your core where you build your spiritual energy".
"Giving you any of my spiritual energy will be a waste", immediately after that statement he stomped on Frevor's head and crushed it sending him to the afterlife.
All this happened in an instant and after that Noel disappeared with commander Nax leaving the region .....
Lynx could be seen panting as he has spent up his spiritual energy and almost depleted his life energy trying to keep the camouflage active, but his body could not handle the strain and gave out as he fell to the ground and fainted.
