The Dark Slayer's

[S3] Chapter 34: Truth

Explosions continued to echo in this barren field. Dust flew, Chimera and Tan were hit by the airwaves.

Flashes of light clashed against each other in the sky, making the sound of a pounding iron so loud. Occasionally fire emerged from the impact, and shortly after the explosion re-echoed.

The vord bounced backwards as the explosion echoed. Far in front of him was the figure of Prison who was angry along with Night. However, Vord's expression remained flat looking at this situation.

In Vord's hand was a sword, the sword he struck occasionally in the air. His eyes then looked down, where Jahad's corpse lay washed away by the red color of his blood. Then, he looked back at the enemy in front of him.

Immediately, Prison had disappeared from sight. The feathers of Vord stood up. He also reflexively turned back.

The Vord Sword and Prison's long claws clashed against each other. Not quite getting there, Night launches a fireball attack from behind Vord as Vord is held captive by Prison. However, one of the gray creatures he created jumped to repel the attack earlier.

"Him!" As strong as Vord's power to shake his sword to make Prison bounce back. "Haah .. hah .. hah ...." Vord's breathing has been interrupted.

The battle roar still did not subside down there. However, Vord's body had almost reached its limit of not managing to finish the fight in such a short period of time.

Not yet had the Vord to rest, Prison once again darted from above. Vord looked up, then slashed his Zero Sword vertically to withstand the attack.

"How dare you .. How dare you kill my friend! It's unforgivable! I'm gonna kill you, Vord!" It seems so clear that the flames of anger are dominating Prison now.

"He deserves it after what you did!" Vord added strength to his hand, until Prison was again made to bounce. "Haah .. hah .. hah. You assholes, so brave to be angry when your lives are taken. But you're closing your eyes when you take someone else's life!"

Suddenly Vord felt a great power approaching. Sure enough, a gigantic black fireball shot out rapidly from behind him. At that instant Vord turned around, his left hand thrust forward. Before long, thick smoke surrounded him.

"Look at what you did! Killing humans and letting the creatures that suddenly came to power? No kidding!" The thick smoke around Vord then disappeared along with the loud screams of the young man.

"You'll never forgive me for killing my friend! Die up! Die up! Die up! Die!!!" From the front of the Vord, Prison shot out lightning-fast with long claws in front.

Vord tightly grasped his Zero Sword with both hands, then slashed it forward vertically with all his might. "You think I'll forgive the actions of those barbaric creatures who have grounded my house! Our house! No kidding!"

In the final seconds, Prison gasped at Vord's words. However, the clash of strength between the two of them was already too late to avoid.

***

Just a moment ago, Prison was so stunned to see Jahad lying with a huge wound on his stomach. The flames of fury instantly filled the depths of his heart, and he had subconsciously attacked Vord many times. However, the Vord was so powerful to deal with now, even Night's help alone was still not enough to subvert it.

His heart screamed as Jahad, his only friend who had been dead horribly right in front of his eyes. He no longer knew what would happen if Jesus died. Will it be consumed by the void?

It's true that Jahad is a bitch. He often even prays prison. However, no matter what a jerk he is, he will never leave his friend in a critical state.

"The lord!" Repeatedly Prison and Night attacked the Vord together. But the result is the same. The current Vord was too powerful.

And now, in just a few seconds, he will know the outcome of this long battle. However, he realized that the burden on Vord's shoulders was much heavier than on his shoulders.

A smile was then etched on Prison's face. "You won, Vord ...." When his long claws almost touched Vord's body, Prison changed its form to an ordinary human.

I give up, Jahad. Why am I defending my useless life just for the sake of killing innocent people. I'm sorry ....

You idiot! Don't die! You don't know what's in our bodies! It was clear in his mind that Jahad was shouting, but it was too late.

Without mercy, Vord split Prison's body into two halves. However, even so, the smile on Prison's face had not disappeared, as if he was saying a sentence of thanks.

"I told you not to die. Why don't you obey?" Separated for a while, Prison was finally able to meet Jahad again.

"I'm tired of fighting, Jahad." Prison smiled warmly at Jahad.

"You know ...?" Jahad lowered his head. "I'm the same, tired of killing innocents. But there's nothing we can do to go against Tan's orders. That guy, Leon, is our only hope."

"So you didn't intend to hand it over to Tan in the first place?"

"I'm not a fool. Why would I prefer to buy time and make it continue to face critical situations? Wouldn't it be better to save time as usual?"

"I hate people who torture me mentally and physically. However, it was done so that I could grow stronger and protect those who were weak. I was stupid at that time to rashly accept Tan's help was a jerk because of emotions. And, a very strong red-haired man came to wake me up when everything had already happened."

"Why did you cover it up and act like a bad guy?"

"Leon is like a diamond that must be sharpened. The hope given by the red-haired man was Leon. He said, one day, Leon will be the savior of man."

"Why did you tell me not to die?"

Jahad smiled a little. "Everything has happened. Regretting is too late. We'd better leave this matter to the living."

***

Vord's breathing was so breathless, his sword was now covered in blood. He wondered in his mind about something. "Why? Why would he cancel his technique and smile?"

"Haha! So they're both dead, huh?"

Suddenly Vord turned back to hear the voice echo. Not only Vord, but Night was quite far away from him as well looking up.

"Who are you! Get out!" Vord shouted as loudly as possible.

"You don't deserve to see a noble being like me! Die quietly with your people, lowly and mortal!"

Vord gritted his teeth at the words. "I don't know who you are, but never claim to be a noble being just because you're strong! You are even inferior to humans!"

"Low-beings! You're too presumptuous! We are noble beings endowed with power!"

"Fuck all that! Your actions have reflected that you are much inferior to us!"

"That's enough! I'm sick of hearing it!"

Suddenly Vord felt something strange. And sure enough, when looking down, Jahad and Prison's body recovered. However, something is not right here.

As Vord looked further, the eyes of the two people had turned dark red. "Damn it! It turns out that from the beginning you have been planning this, Jahad, Prison! I understand now why Prison gave up on me!"

Inside the Tower of Hope, Leon and his friends walked through a white passage. With full confidence Leon took the lead in front followed by Sun, Sasa, and Ni.

"Let's start by finding information about the headquarters of the Fantasy Beings. I can't wait to beat Jahad and Prison!"

"Don't get too excited, Leon. You must be joking with the desire to directly attack their headquarters!"

"I'm not kidding, Sun. Fucking Fantasy Beings, it's time we get this all done."

Suddenly Leon stopped his steps as he was about to enter through the door, when he saw a man in a golden mask talking to someone. He then hid behind a wall with his friends, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation.

"The city of Heels is under attack, bring some Energy Eaters to help."

At once Leon and his friends were surprised to hear the words. Leon immediately entered without caring around. "What do you mean, Sir?"

"Oh, you must be Leon?" said the man with the gold mask. "As you've heard, the city of Heels was attacked."
