In an instant, the royal guards raised their weapons as they kept their gaze on Zephyr. Were he to make any sudden moves, they would not hesitate to protect the royals here. “Zephyr! Do not jest!” a Master commanded. Many were sharing his displeased expression. They were utterly annoyed at Zephyr’s actions. After all, they were often respected and revered, not disrespected and ignored like right now. “Me? Jest?” Zephyr spoke as he flashed a small smile. He turned his icy gaze towards the Masters, head intentions of teasing them! “You guys don’t even know what happened, do you? And yet here you are, blaming me! You old farts!”The fact that the Masters had not bothered investigating the reason for his arrival, then immediately putting the blame on him, signified that they were clearly protecting the Ninth Prince. “How dare you!” The Masters reacted aggressively, they could not accept Zephyr’s blatant disrespect. “I guess only our fists can do the talking, eh?” the prince teased. Seeing
Zephyr had suffered from the earlier scuffle. It could be shown in the streaks of fresh blood that trailed from his lips. The five Agiles’ combined attack had badly wounded him. If he were weaker, he would have died. However, Zephyr did not give up. He eyed the Ninth Prince with killing intent. He would not rest until the Ninth Prince was dead.Zephyr sighed, he brandished his sword once more, gripping it tighter. The people around could only wonder as to why Zephyr was so ferocious, so angry. They held their breaths as they observed the event unfold.The royal guards managed to arrive on time and surrounded the area. They blocked all entry and exit points. Not even Boxer and Yang were given an opportunity to leave. “Damn it, what’s happening? Where is Bruce?” Boxer asked, a face full of worry.“Never would I have expected a Strength of level nine to match our might! You are more than you are made out to be, Khan. However, your behavior has rightly angered us. You must pay for your
When Zephyr came to the palace, he had not wished to kill this person. However, Zephyr’s rage built up at the sight of his opponent’s mercilessness. Especially so now when the man he intended to kill watched on in glee!“Take my unbeatable Focus!” Zephyr said through gritted teeth. He waved his sword, calling upon his bladed energy manifold over.“What?!”Everyone present was shocked at such a display of power.“This is Focus of the Blade!”“Absolutely terrifying!”“Damn it, he has Focus! Stay back!”The Masters’ expression changed, quickly warning the others. However, it was too late. Zephyr’s skill was too overpowering, so much so that his opponent could not defend against it. It was but a second’s effort as Zephyr’s bladed energy engulfed his opponent’s energy. Soon, it found its way towards the Master’s body.“Stop!” an old voice rang. Zephyr felt his whole body start to slow down after. ‘Who is this?!’ he thought, as he felt his body be paralyzed. A strong power waved over
A great silence befell the palace. No one made a sound as they stared at Zephyr in disbelief. He had just disrespected the Master of Masters, Shaun Lee. It felt like a fever dream. No one had ever thought this day would come. Even Shaun himself had a look of surprise before it quickly turned into one of contempt. For the longest time, only the Ahi emperor himself could have contended with him. No one had ever disrespected him like this before. Yet today of all days, Zephyr Khan stood before him, among the eyes of many fighters, questioning his capability.It was insulting. Humiliating even. If it was not for him personally hearing this challenge, he would have thought he heard wrong!Shaun laughed with anger at Zephyr’s display of brazen foolishness. “Hahaha, what a foolish boy!” He proceeded to make the first move. One could see how infuriated he was to make the first move against a Strength of level nine.Blades danced in the air. Loud booms and cracks sounded throughout the sky.
“That’s enough for you!” Shaun shouted, his body suddenly started shining. In an instant, he was in front of Zephyr. ‘What speed!’ Zephyr thought. He was getting serious. As Shaun came at him, he brought a punch along with him, one filled with rolling energy, its mass was akin to a small hill. Zephyr’s long hair went flying back, his body had adapted itself to take on this blow, his muscles contracted and solidified.“Elder, Zephyr could never defend against this attack, it’s much too strong!” an Academy apprentice spoke. The Elder sighed, he had hoped for more out of Zephyr, though it would seem that the boy was at his limit. Though, he did admire Zephyr’s ability to fend off against an Agile of level five.“Die!” Shaun said, his eyes bore daggers. He was going to kill Zephyr right then and there, there was no doubt about that. However, as Shaun’s fist landed on Zephyr’s body, the Khan gave a small chuckle. The rune on his forehead glowed with blue sparks, before exploding in a burs
Shaun was absolutely livid. He had no more reason to hold back, he unleashed the full scales of his power. An Agile of level five was a terrible foe to have! Facing Shaun’s full-on attack, Zephyr had no chance of defending himself. He was about to be turned into a sandbag and be abused by Shaun.As the blows came and went, Zephyr could only cough up mouthful after mouthful of blood. His body was stricken in such an unimaginable pain that he wondered if his bones were being turned into powder. A loud crack was heard as Shaun’s right fist landed right atop Zephyr’s head, forcing him into the ground. The great power that followed even made a large ditch erupt out of it. “Hmph!” Shaun huffed as he slowly approached the ditch. He had a cold expression. That strike was enough to cripple Zephyr. Shaun planned to finish him, right then, right thereZephyr continued to spit out mouthfuls of blood. Shaun’s attack was too powerful, and it severely damaged his insides. ‘So, this is the power of
“What’s he up to?” Shaun wondered endlessly. He could feel a different sense of energy that was emanating from the boy. ‘No, I need to nip this in the bud!’ he thought, his uneasiness brewed on and on as time went by. Although he knew that no matter what, Zephyr Khan would not defeat him, he knew that he should not let the boy continue like this!In the air, Zephyr floated. He slowly rose as he breathed, reaching heights of 300 feet. He was a bloody mess, yet he carried a calm smile on his face. ‘He’s still smiling?!’ the fighters below thought, absolutely gobsmacked. ‘How can he still smile at such a time like this?’ Boxer thought, his expression wild.Zephyr closed his arms together, the electricity around him following suit, closing in on him. Suddenly, a great crack of thunder burst in the sky. It sounded as though a herd of horses were galloping by, their steps were thunderous and foreboding. ‘What’s happening?’ Everyone had similar thoughts at the sight of such an extensive sho
’I need to get away!’ Shaun thought, making a decision. He quickly fled, with a face full of terror. His speed was as swift as the wind when he glided back towards the ground. He could feel the ostentatious power of the spear. Alas, Shaun was too late to escape!“How about you taste this!” Zephyr screamed, as the Spear shot out like a stream of lighting, and spiraled towards Shaun Lee. Zephyr knew that Shaun Lee could have killed him earlier if he was weaker. Which was why Zephyr was not taking any chances with him. Even if Shaun was a loyal officer of the court, Zephyr would not show any mercy to him. If they were to battle, he would take it to the end!The Lightning Spear shot through the sky like a bolt of lightning towards Shaun, constantly screeching and pulsating with electricity. Its lightning-fast speed was too much for Shaun, and he knew it would soon find its target. “No!!” Shaun cried, feeling the weapons approach. “No! Run away!” the Elder screamed out suddenly. Alas, it
