Elemental Gen - Z

Chapter 53's

[Araya's Origin Arc - #5]

...----------------...

"It-it's.. It is impossible.." muttered Arga after seeing the stone statue. His gaze turned blank, his body was squeezed, yet still able to remain standing.

CTAK!

After the snap of the finger was heard, the two statues instantly turned into ashes. Crushed melting. Arga widened his eyes to see the incident, while Darkzero put up his grin despite his face covered in a Darkness mask.

"Haah, what did I say? You are weak and can do nothing. You guys don't deserve to use Elemental power!"

Arga clenched his hands again, his jaw hardened, and the look in his eyes implied an immense sense of hatred. His breathing began to drift.

"So, he was angry. Instead of you being angry, I'd better make you like them. Get ready.." while twirling his sword, Darkzero spoke again. The sword was one and a half meters long and weighed about eight kilograms as if it was nothing. For him, it was like twirling a pen.

SHUU!

Darkzero was about to stab Arga with his sword. Immediately, Arga dodged it, just by slightly tilting his head and Darkzero's sword managed to miss. A split second too late, maybe his head will be pierced.

BUACH!

Arga's counterattacking. He hit Darkzero's wrist, which was holding the sword, to make it fall. However, as expected, Darkzero quickly retracted his hand.

"It's not that easy, haha!" while laughing Darkzero said. Arga did not respond and preferred to focus on the fight.

Arga again attacked him on his legs, but Darkzero immediately jumped when it happened.

PROK'S!

Arga clashed both of his palms until a sound was heard. Instantly from behind Darkzero appeared three objects that looked like a disk, the difference is, the edges are pointed. The thing swirled rapidly towards Darkzero.

The tring! Trang! Trang!

With just one blink of an eye, the three objects were slashed by him until they split into two pieces and then fell to the floor.

"How is it possible? He seemed to be able to predict my attack." said Arga in disbelief. The reflexes can be very good, it reinforces his estimation that Darkzero is not a human who is transformed into a Darkness Swordman. But, he was the real one, no longer able to be transformed into any creature.

"Now it's my turn." he whispered as he quickly attacked Arga with his sword. Arga had no time to think, so he just tried to hold back his attack with his armor.

"Damn it, the attack cornered me." glancing back, Arga was no longer able to retreat. There is a wall of the room that makes it cornered. His movements became limited and could not be free.

CEPS!

The attack just now was not noticed by Arga. Maybe that's the result if you think in front of Darkzero. Although thinking fast, but still can not be as fast as the movement.

The tip of his sword was already stuck on the wall right next to Arga's neck. Only three centimeters away.

"I'm so good I still give you a chance to live. So, how? Thought changed?" he said while strangling Arga's neck with his left hand.

"No.. Would.. Never.." though his voice choked, as strongly as possible Arga tried to answer by refusing. Darkzero sighed.

"So you choose where, I'd like to check with my left hand, or.. Immediately I cut off your head with the sword in my right hand?"

His grip grew stronger, making him unable to breathe. Arga again tried to speak, but it hurt so much. It felt like his vocal cords had been severed or cut off.

"Can't answer? If you don't answer, you choose both. Alright, mwahahahaha!"

"SIZE!"

Before Darkzero began his execution, the voice was heard. Two people calling his name simultaneously.

Arga tried to raise his gaze, seeing that both of his friends had been standing next to him. Rain and Fatih.

Fatih immediately pointed his palm forward and instantly appeared a very bright light, capable of making Darkzero go blind for a moment.

"Ughs.. Yes." reply Arga briefly, of course that's why because his neck still hurts. He looked towards Fatih who was looking back at him while smiling faintly.

"Thank God.. We arrived on time" he said.

"What time is it?! I gave up for a second."

THE DUAR!

After Darkzero spoke again, there was an explosion in the room that made the room become pitch-black.

"I can't see. Fatih, where are you? Bring up light again.." Rain spoke through a communication device. Shortly thereafter, Fatih responded.

"No way, my energy is suddenly dying."

"Huh? How same?"

"What's? You either?"

Sure enough, their power was still half, now only five percent after the explosion. But not for Arga. The power is still the same as before.

THE SNACK! BUACH!

Arga felt his body being pulled, then violently thrown down and finally hit the wall. So strong, the wall of the main room was cracked.

"Huh? What is that sound? Arga, where are you?" Rain tries to communicate with Arga through a communication device attached to his armor.

"I. I'm still here." Arga replied. Trying to normalize his voice so that his friends don't worry.

"You okay?" now, Fatih asked.

"Yes. Take care of yourself Ka-argh!" yet Arga had not finished his words, his body had already crashed back into the wall for the second time. This time it was stronger, even to the point of having Arga thrown from the Darkness Swordman headquarters building through a hollow wall.

The situation inside the room could be seen as before. Rain and Fatih widened their eyes after realizing that there were only two of them. The feeling grew uncomfortable after seeing the wall that was hollow quite wide. Apparently the Darkzero technique was used just to trick the two of them into fighting with Arga, one on one.

Outside Darkness Swordman's headquarters, Arga tried to stand up using his body that was painful, bruised, and bruised. Even in certain parts, his broken bones had already increased.

"It hurts? Alright, then, let's fight without weapons." while throwing away his sword, Darkzero said after seeing Arga who had yet to fully stand up.

"Haah is weak, still stubborn. Why didn't you give up your elemental powers directly instead of struggling and hurting to fight against me?" folding his hands in front of his chest, Darkzero spoke as he occasionally shook his head in surprise.

Shortly after, Arga had managed to stand up even though his legs were shaking as a result of suffocation.

"No, I can't lose. I'm the one who has to beat him. If I manage to defeat him, then this world will return to peace. I can't give up." Inwardly, Arga said as she tried to stand up straight.

"I promised Allucia and Araya that I would return safely. Hah, at least they can still see me when I die.."

I don't know why, Arga could have such thoughts. He recalled Araya's struggle a moment ago, when Araya tried hard to walk towards him. Despite falling several times, Araya started again. And finally Arga managed to catch his body when it will fall again.

"Araya, I want to see you again. In the future, come here and defeat him. You don't have to save me, you don't have to look for me."

Elsewhere at the same time, a four-month-old girl was standing next to a window. Looking at the overcast sky, his face was gloomy.

"Araya, it turns out you're here son." said his mother and then carried him.

"I-mom.. Fathering.. Everywhere?" although his speech was not so eloquent, little Araya tried to ask his mother.
