Fear!Shock!Terror!Those were the feelings that crumpled up within each of them. However, the greatest feeling that was felt — disbelief!“How…? How did you manage this? What sort of Focus is this? Why can’t I measure it!?” Linus gripped his sword tightly, doing his best to fend off Zephyr’s flurry of slashes. “Pathetic!” Zephyr stated coldly, loud enough to rupture Linus’ eardrums, this sent him into a shivering frenzy. “Die,” Zephyr flicked his fingers, before Linus even managed to spit out one syllable, a blade was sent flying at Linus. The blade went through Linus, and just like that, with wide eyes of terror, a sliver of crimson flowed down from his forehead and slowly expanded. Linus’ body then slowly tore apart from itself, splitted itself in two, his blood spurt out like a geyser. And with that, a metallic clunk sound rang throughout the forest, his blade had fallen to the ground.“Run! Save yourself!” one of the men on the ground called out. All six of them were still o
Zephyr had pushed Lightfoot to the limit, he struggled to focus his pent-up rage into efficient use, but right now, all he could see was red. All the while Zephyr blamed himself, he blamed his carelessness in this situation. Although he had let Leah stay with Lewis under his protection, it would not have lasted long, Puck had eyes everywhere, the both of them could only hide so much. Although Leah was only Zephyr’s handmaiden, she was the closest he had to an actual family, she was the most important person in his life. In his previous life, Zephyr was unable to stop her suicide, but in this life, Zephyr would stop at nothing to keep her safe.‘Puck! Lincoln! If I find that you’ve laid even a finger on her hair, I will show no mercy!’ Zephyr thought to himself as he increased his speed, vanishing into the air.…The Khans were the second greatest house in Starlight City. The Khan household was like a castle, or a fort, it was much different than the commoners’ dwelling. In this pala
“What the Hell is going on out there?!” Puck asked angrily after he heard the commotion outside. “It’s not good, My Lord, someone has come to attack us! He’s powerful, he’s killed many of our men!” reported a guard who hastily rushed into the room. “How is that possible? The Khan has had the best security thus far! Who would dare come without warning?!” asked Puck, shocked to hear the news. He slammed his fist onto the table, leaving the room. “I want to see this for myself, who’s so bold to dare attack the Khan!” muttered Puck.…“There he is!”“Kill him!”Outside the gates, tens of armed guards crashed down upon Zephyr. Zephyr moved his sword, like a fish through water, he sliced and slashed his way through the ranks, having no fear nor hesitation in his eyes. “Seven Slashes – First slash!” he yelled, his tone commanding like an army general, yet, assured like a lover’s gentle whisper. His sword waved through the battlefield, it sent off gentle yet shimmering light refractions. T
“How…?!”Puck had more than 30 guards around the perimeter, yet all that was left standing were a handful! Each guard was at least a Strength of level five! All of them were handpicked by his father, Mist himself! The cream of the crop! “Just who in the h*ll are you? Why did you come, kill all my men, and intend on attacking me?! Do you wish to make yourself an enemy of the Khan?!” Puck hissed through gritted teeth, his voice quaked with anger. His gaze unrelenting, and fully focused on the man who stood before him, the man bathed in the fresh blood of his once honorable guards.Zephyr pushed his hair back, and raised his head to face Puck, his eyes filled with dangerous intent. “You?!” as he saw Zephyr’s face, Puck could not help but guffaw. While others may not have recognized him, Puck knew Zephyr’s face well, Puck could never forget the man he had tried so hard to erase for so long. “Zephyr? How? You’re still alive?!” Puck said while laughing, this was all too strange for him. He
Zephyr’s movement was too fast, too agile, a Strength of level seven could not have kept up. Zephyr was but a b*stard to Puck, how could he have overpowered him? Puck rattled his brain for an answer. Zephyr sent his knee into Puck’s gut once again, causing him to scream in pain.“Where’s Leah?” Zephyr demanded, he did not want to waste anymore time. “Leah? Your maid? Hahaha… she was such a nice plaything, her skin was silky smooth, also, her moans were heavenly, hahaha…” taunted Puck. Zephyr, in his angered state, sent a fist towards Puck. Zephyr’s strength had exponentially increased since he began training under the Way, it was comparable to an Agility fighter’s, and did not lag behind either. Puck was not going to last long.Fist, after fist, after fist, connected with Puck's face, and mouthful, after mouthful of blood flew out of Puck’s mouth. Cry, after cry, after cry, came and went, before long, Puck’s face was swollen and deformed. “Zephyr, you b*stard, the lord will never for
Before long, Zephyr found himself before a great pagoda. The pagoda was bigger than the Khan hills, it was the greatest structure within the Khan. There were not many defenses around, only three armored guards stood guard at the base. These three men were each Strengths of level seven, each powerful in their own way. They stood guard whilst watching over Lincoln’s quarters, patrolling about with prideful glee. Zephyr knew these three.They were Khan men, but turned to a life of being Lincoln’s lackeys. Although they were in their 30s, they were incredibly powerful. However, they were only so through Lincoln’s pills, which then explained their loyalty to him. “Boy, this is master Lincoln’s quarters, who gave you permission to enter? Get out of here!” The three of them yelled and blocked Zephyr’s approach. “Oh, it’s you, the b*stard. Why are you here?” One of the men asked sarcastically, once he recognized him. “Wait, something’s wrong, his body is covered in blood!” The other two excla
“What the… how? You didn’t die in the Feather Forest? Your powers managed to grow too?” mumbled Wesley, his eyes widened. He could not fathom how Zephyr had not only entered the dangerous Forest, but he even came out unscathed. Even the mere poison within the spirit pills were enough to kill Zephyr! According to their plans, the poison should have taken effect by now. But here he stood before him, all fine and dandy, overflowing with violent energies. “You sure are something else you b*stard!” Wesley hissed through his teeth. “Enough! Where is Leah?!” demanded Zephyr, his body covered in righteous energy. “Leah? That harlot?” grinned Wesley, “Heh heh heh… she’s probably being spoiled rotten right about now!” Hearing this, Zephyr’s rage burst forth, his body quivered in anger. Was he too late? Even in a new life, was Leah’s fate sealed? “Hahaha… die you b*stard!” Seeing Zephyr’s look of defeat, Wesley took this chance and sent forth his palm, letting it morph into a claw as it raced
The voice rang like a great bell, followed by a blast of immense power. It came forth like an endless hunger, wanting to devour all before it. “Enough!” came the voice again, this time its origin made clear. A figure appeared before Zephyr, as if out of thin air, his movements were as fast as lightning. He wore fine clothes which complimented his sturdy figure. The man was no more than 30, yet his aura exuded superiority. He was no ordinary combatant. His eyes carried great surprise and disgust. Upon resting his gaze on Zephyr, it quickly changed, it was as though he looked upon an insignificant insect, his pride was gleaming. It was Lincoln, the Khan’s personal medicine man, the most hated man in Zephyr’s life, past and present. Lincoln emitted an intimidating aura, one which surrounded not only his body, but the air around him. He was a powerful combatant without a doubt. Zephyr noticed that Lincoln had yet to enter the Agility level; he was still a Strength of level nine, an inc
