The Adventure Of Lord Lausius

Episode 168's

Sean approached the gemstone. There is no one in this valley of tears. That's why, Sean felt the road was no obstacle. Nothing interfered with this moment Sean expected.

The three men behind Sean, only noticed that perfectly straight walking back. It was as easy as fighting with Sean.

“I didn't expect. Turns out, our path to getting the gem is very easy. I think, we will find difficulties mean,” said Driyad happy.

Amuria frowned, glancing at the nostalgic Driyad figure on their long path.

“Easy saying. But it's hard to understand.”

“Yes, at least so. I really hope, there will be no more obstacles that hit our journey.”

Driyad folded both his hands. There was nothing more they were worried about right now, except to notice Sean being pointed at that pomegranate red gem.

Crypto, he glanced at his two friends. Then shrug his shoulders, his legs neglected to leave the two. Admonishing Sean, Crypto was rather apathetic to the two who were conversing.

“Don't you think that Crypto is too thin. I'm annoyed at his cold demeanor.”

Amuria nudged Driyad on the shoulder, after looking at the long white-haired man's back, she followed closely behind. Not to forget, Driyad also runs parallel to Amuria.

“You are overrated in judging others. Forget about your problems with Crypto, or you'll be hit until you ask for forgiveness.”

“Hei. He won't be that cruel!” driyad Protest.

Amuria riding cynical. He knows nothing but silence.

Upon arrival near Sean, Crypto commented. “Prince. Is this too easy to take!”

“I think so!” answer Sean. Just like Crypto, Sean felt something strange. “Hopefully, this is according to what we expected.”

“True prince. We all hope this is a good start. But isn't this too common. There is no care, as if this gem is intended for you.”

Sean nodded. “As you say. Hopefully this, is the best path.”

Crypto is worried, Sean is too. But, there is no point in thinking no-no. Supposedly, that's how it happened.

“Prince. The shape is incredible. Do you feel that this pomegranate red gem really has a strong energy?” Driyad commented. He was amazed at that thing.

“I know. But it's hard to understand what happens to this thing if we take.”

Again, Sean replied to each comment with a somewhat doubtful remark. Sean wasn't very good at guessing any further about the secrets in that rock. Except, guessing, if it has a magical side.

“All will be explained later, if the prince has already taken it!” Amuria.

Which made Sean agree to the remark. Actually Sean was still doubtful, how and what would happen if he managed to take the thing.

Sean didn't think much about this. The most important thing for Sean was, he had managed to obtain that important thing.

There is no special care for the jewel. Not even a single magic protected him. Fasterfully, Sean grabbed the flaming red thing.

It is as big as a palm. After picking it up, Sean hid it under his shirt.

“Let's go,” take Sean on his three bodyguards. “We have completed the mission. We must return to the palace immediately.”

“By pleasure, we obey the prince's order!”

Amuria bowed, like an authoritative knight.

Sean's strapping path, back he became the front. But just a few steps he walked. One came, through a yellow light.

The light appeared from behind another large statue. Shortly after, the figure appeared, followed by a haughty laugh.

“Ehm. Lausius. Have the courage to come to this temple. Then, have the courage to get out of my grasp!”

“Zurry!”

Zurry bawled loudly as Sean spoke his name out loud. Even surprised, making Zurry more proud.

“Prince. You almost forgot. I'm alive too. How can you come to this place without me!”

“Do you follow us. Since when did you do it?” Amuria asked, she started to get angry at the man.

Zurry, he flew a few meters ahead of Sean. According to Zurry, this was a bit presumptuous when Amuria dared to interrupt him. But, that did not make him participate in the anger, instead he was increasingly challenged to eradicate the useless men.

“Actually. I want to be honest,” said Zurry wanted to admit. “That I actually came here because I saw your tracks in the snow forest. And yes, I admit that I am obsessed with Prince Lausius. You already know that I am the most ambitious man.”

“And your wish is only one, that is prince Lausius!” timpal Dryad's. Retracting his sword, he attempted to attack Zurry first, but Crypto pulled his shoulder faster.

“Do not be rash. Let him say whatever he wants. You don't get caught up in the game!” firmly Crypto commemorates.

“But I need to make it stop to not follow the prince!”

“Let me finish all this,” Sean said on Crypto and Driyad conversation. “You are all my responsibility. Let me do all this.”

“But prince. This is not fair to the prince!”

Sean glanced at Driyad. “Do not worry. I'm sure, I can make him stop doing all the deeds he's been doing all this time.”

“Haha ..., Lucius. Before, you beat me. Also killed my brother, Zumirh. Don't you regret what you did? Moreover, you are smart and cunning. Instead, you get ready to ask the god in the sky to forgive you.”

“What is up on a sin?” sean asked Sambar.

Zurry smiled again. “Your sin as a Lausius is, to have killed a creature you should not have killed. So, you should have understood it Lausius!”

Sean's eyes squinted as Zurry flew over to him. His sword wants to excite Sean. Sean knew that.

Sean soon managed to escape. Zurry's sharp sword was an inch away from his temple.

Sean was pushed back almost to his knees. Due to his alertness, Sean managed to stand with the horses bowing.

Standing up straight, Sean pulled out his sword using magic. Followed by the golden wings it expanded perfectly.

Zurry. “Way Phoenix!” said surprised. “The bird of paradise wings. How he got it. Isn't that wing just a baseless ancestral story. How can that wing have it.”

As if in disbelief, Zurry was made silent for a moment. What can Zurry do? He could only gape at the flapping of wings twice the size of the wings of light he had. He knew that the wings had a strength that was incomparable to ordinary wings.

“You want me to be yours. Alright, I will grant all your wishes!”

Raising his sword, Sean attacked Zurry. The man in front of Sean, obviously he can't back down. The one thing Zurry hated the most was retreating when challenging. And it's time, Zurry can't waste his power anymore, just to hunt down Lausius.

“Hiya ...”

Sean's shrieking voice over Zurry, made this man fend off the sword ready to take off his head.

The sound of Zurry and Sean's sword twangs, was extremely loud. Exit the power of the two swords that were meeting it.

Zurry, desperately trying to fend off the attack power from Sean. Because of the child's power, Zurry's legs were almost bent.

Zurry grinned with a slanted smile, as Sean managed to be hit back.

“You think it can be that easy beating me. Just dream you're useless Lausius!”

Not long after the voice said in Sean's ear, Zurry flew as fast as lightning towards the boy. His speed was infinite, slashing his sword recklessly towards Sean's neck.

Luckily Sean's glowing cornea eye quickly caught Zurry's shadow. So Sean managed to hold the sword that almost cut off his head.

“She's strong. How ..., it can ...”

Sean could barely contain Zurry's power. Really, his strength suddenly increased drastically. Far from what Sean thought.

Zurry was more eager to beat Sean, especially Sean's energy felt increasingly weakened even though there were Phoenix wings that became a shield for the child.

Zurry unleashed his sword attack, then disappeared from before Sean. Before long, Zurry reappeared, but this time it came at full speed.

He's circling his body, surrounding Sean. Forming a tornado, disrupting Sean's concentration. Sean had no idea where the man's body was, which Sean saw him surrounded by a shadow of a body as fast as the wind, as soft as snow.

“Dia ..., what power is this?”

Sean's confused. Basically, Sean doesn't understand the power of Zurry. In fact, even to attack him, Sean hesitated.

Seeing Sean disappear behind the black shadow of Zurry's body, the three men of Sean's bodyguards put on an anxious expression.

“Celaka. This shadow, how can the prince handle it.” Amuria, she's really upset.

“Do we need help prince?” driyad Suggestions.

“No,” reply Crypto denied. “We'll see in a minute. The prince can handle it. If you can't, then we'll help him.”

Back to Sean. The attention of the three men, still fixated on the tornado that revolved around Sean's body.

Very difficult, Sean was confused as the shadow continued to spin non-stop.

“The only way, I have to slash recklessly!”

Sean thought so. Without negotiation, Sean slammed his sword into Zurry's body. Instantly, the tornado from Zurry's body shadow, disappeared. But baby, it didn't work.

Zurry looks fine even he's getting agile. Smile, as if this game has just begun.

“Lausius. Goodbye!”

Zurry's shout, followed by an extremely uncontrollable speed attack. Blindly, Zurry's sword hit Sean.

The speed is unpredictable, sometimes disappearing and appearing here and there. Sean, all he did was hold it. Sean's eyes are a bit observant, but this is over.

“Death to you Lausius!”

Zurry's shout, made Sean bounce when his sword hit Sean's body. Sean fell, so hard.

His body hit the stone wall, also creating significant damage there. The stones split open, the pile hoarding Sean's body.

“Prince!”

Amuria rushed towards Sean. Followed by his two partners. Amuria unloads the rocks, looking for Sean's buried body.

“Prince!” Amuria was hysterically screaming.

Crypto is getting bigger, Sean managed to make it bounce. He flew close to Sean who was at the sight of the three useless men in Zurry's eyes.

“Lausius. You can finally take me down. It was so hard for me to waste my energy and time all this time, just because I was chasing you. However, tonight. Oh, it's really my lucky night. Haha ...”

His laughter was very happy, as if the whole world and the sky were looking down on his lucky self.

Meanwhile, Crypto could not waste time removing Sean's body from the pile of rocks. Thanks to the help of his strength, he moved the rocks, and in an instant Sean's body began to appear.

He's unconscious, Sean's body is getting weaker. His eyes were closed, only the rays on his body were bright.

Crypto's hand held Sean's chest. “Prince is still breathing. He seemed to be injured,” he said after checking Sean's heartbeat.

“Will this result in quite severe injuries!” ask Driyad.

“I think, because it was too strong to receive a blow from Zurry, the prince's body suffered a wound that is difficult to explain. I don't know what kind of power Zurry is using. He could suddenly become stronger. It could also increase its strength in an instant. I'm sure, Zurry has been planning this for a long time.”

“Is this Zurry's secret power?” sahut Amuria guessed.

“We'll know later. But, we must help the prince first. Day ....”

“Prince!” call Driyad surprised.

Crypto could no longer continue his words, when Sean suddenly opened his eyes. Highlight those eyes were sharp, aiming at Zurry. Zurry, who was flying in front of Sean, was shocked.

“How can he come back to life. My strength, not even one can match this power. But why can he break my awesome power!”

Zurry felt that there was something strange about his body. Not his body, but his strength was the source of Zurry's questions. Staring at Sean, the boy shone a sharp spotlight, as if ready to draw himself.

Sure enough, in a matter of seconds Sean got up. The flap of the golden wings widened perfectly, and his sword aimed at Zurry.

Just like Zurry had done earlier, Sean attacked him at high speed without any cue. The clinking sound of Zurry's sword repelled Sean's every attack.

Really fast, Zurry was made to wonder where Sean's body was.

And badly, Zurry lost. Sean lunged at Zurry's chest, until it made the man suffer the same fate— as Sean had experienced. Zurry's body hit the huge statue that stood firm.

The statue collapsed, so powerful was Sean's attack. Luckily, the statue collapsed not on him, but the statue collapsed on Sean.

Sean endured the weight of the statue's mass, with just one hand. Sean's body glowed, but he kept looking at Zurry who was sitting limp.

“I won't kill you. Let's just say, this time you're lucky!” sean warned.

Sean slammed the huge statue out of his hand. Turning around, Sean left the nearly dying man behind.

Zurry, on the sidelines of his weakly drooping body. Ripping into his clothes, Zurry took out a secret weapon. The little thing was a sharp eye, and on each side it contained poison.

Zurry's flagship weapon, has five blades. After taking out the secret weapon, he threw it towards Sean's body.

“Prince!” Amuria yelling.

Sean looked. Sean's wings opened, becoming a shield as the weapon stimulated his shoulder. Luckily, the weapon was nothing with the power of the wings Sean had.

“Dia ..”

Zurry was silent, saying nothing more.
