The Last Descendant of the Holy Sword Family

Reason to Save Him

Kufa, Accua and Sieg had been defeated by Zen in just a few moves. Just before Zen hit Accua, Zen heard the voice of a woman telling him to stop.

Zen looked at the direction the voice was coming from, there he saw a woman with blonde hair. She had a beautiful face with sky blue eyes.

Seeing the woman Zen smiled slightly, however, Zen knew the woman very well. Zen then removed the barrier he had created and started talking to the woman.

"Don't see Ziyun."

That woman was Ziyun, she was the woman that Zen saved at the time when Zen had just started the journey to carry out his plan.

"Duringn't see Zen."

Ziyun said to Zen while panting heavily. If seen from the way he breathed, then it can be guessed if he came by running in a hurry.

"With you alive, Baal keeps his promise to me."

The deal made by Zen and Baal was that Baal would keep Ziyun for a while and as payment Zen gave Baal some magic scrolls.

"I didn't think we'd meet so soon Zen."

Ziyun walked towards Zen, but before Ziyun approached Zen, Kufa told him to stop.

"Stop there Ziyun! Don't go near him, he's the enemy. He was the first ancestor of vampires."

Kufa spoke to Ziyun while coughing up a cough as her body currently contained some injuries.

Hearing Kufa's words, Ziyun stopped her footsteps. Not that Ziyun believed what Kufa said. Ziyun stopped walking just because she didn't like what Kufa had just said.

Ziyun then looked towards Kufa, and Ziyun asked Kufa.

"What did you just mean?"

Ziyun's sharp gaze headed towards Kufa, it wasn't an ordinary gaze. It was also not the gaze that women used to use, just by looking at that gaze alone Kufa could tell that Ziyun trusted Zen very much.

"As I said before, he's the first ancestor of vampires. He's not human, he's the enemy."

"Stop your joke, even if you're a person from the imperial palace I'll still kill you if you say something like that to him."

Ziyun's gaze became sharper than before, her blue-colored eyes now became red. Killing intent shot out from Ziyun's body, Ziyun then raised her hand a second. Dozens of small magic circles formed beside Ziyun's left and right.

'Is that the power of the Spirit of light?'

It was not a power that a human could obtain in a short period of time. That's why Zen thought that it was the power of the spirit of light that was in Ziyun's body.

The situation became very bad, hundreds of arrows of light were ready to be released towards Kufa. If Kufa did not prepare an excuse now then he would definitely die if it were hit by that light arrow with an injured body.

"If you don't believe me, why don't you ask me what I'm saying? I'm sure he won't lie to you."

Kufa gave Ziyun advice, as Kufa said, Kufa was sure that Zen would not lie if Ziyun asked him. That was because from what Kufa saw, Zen was completely indifferent to human life. So there was no reason for Zen to lie.

"I think you have a point too."

Ziyun became calmer, she removed all the magic circles that were on her left and right. The color of his eyes had also turned sky blue.

Ziyun then looked at Zen, where Ziyun could see Zen smiling a little. For Ziyun it might be a subtle smile, but if the one who saw that smile was Irene or Argares then they would be able to see the cunning of that smile.

"So Zen, is what he said true?"

Zen just silently listened to what Ziyun said. Ziyun asked that question several times, but Zen was still silent. Ziyun concluded that what Kufa said was a lie.

"So you lied to me Kufa. Why do you say..... "

"Ziyun, what he said is true."

Before Ziyun could finish her words, Zen instantly cut her off. Ziyun was shocked by what Zen said.

"That's right Ziyun, what he said was true. I'm not a human being."

"That's it? But it doesn't matter to me, no matter what race you are I'll keep following you."

"But I don't need you Ziyun."

"What did you say.... Don't you?"

Ziyun's face became slightly stiff, Her expression saying that she did not believe what Zen said.

"As I said, I don't need you."

Ziyun's expression seemed to indicate that she was not familiar with what Zen said.

"Why?"

"What?"

"Why did you save me then? You even gave me hope to live?"

At that moment after losing his family Ziyun only wanted death, but Zen saved himself. Zen even gave Ziyun hope and reason to stay alive. That's why Ziyun can live to this day.

"Ah at that time, huh? Do you really want to hear the reason?"

"Yes, I want to hear it."

"Alright then, I'll tell you. Back then, the moment I saw you I felt like I was looking at my old self. At that very moment I felt a bit of emotion in myself, I thought that maybe I would regain my emotions if I were with you. But apparently not, I was with you long enough in that tower and I didn't feel my emotions coming back either. So I'm damning to throw you out because you're of no use to me."

Ziyun's expression became extremely desperate. Ziyun felt that she should not listen to what she should not listen to.

For Zen, Ziyun was simply an object that could possibly restore his lost emotions. But Ziyun was unable to give Zen what he wanted, which is why Zen threw him away.

For Zen his emotions were paramount, even the reason he started this great war was to regain his emotions.

"Then why did you give me a year to practice?"

Before leaving Zen left a letter for Ziyun, it was written that Zen gave Ziyun a year to practice. After a year Zen will return to pick up Ziyun.

"That's your life time. Since I saved you then you should at least live for a year even if I don't need you.

Anyway if I just left you, then you would definitely go looking for me. That's why I got Marie to train you, so you won't come looking for me right away because I told her I'd pick her up a year later."

Ziyun became even more desperate than before, her once straight knees now touching the ground. His sky-blue eyes were now turning dark blue, as if there was only an emptiness being emitted by those eyes. Her tears kept coming out endlessly, without even her noticing.

Kufa, who saw all this, felt that it should not last much longer.

"Based on You Breng*ek, do you know what you've done? I'll kill you now!!"

With Kufa's scarred body forcing her to stand up, she even felt a tremendous pain from her body.

Kufa raised his sword, he was unable to move quickly. With blood coming out, Kufa walked towards Zen.

Zen did not care what Kufa did, Zen looked at Kufa with a look that humbled him.

"Come out, Satayin."

For a moment Zen could feel an enormous energy gathering above the sky. Zen then took out his eighth servant, the servant had the form of a giant. With his body the servant protected Zen.

"Come, Petrius protect your owners."

Zen gave orders to the two servants, and the two servants came out. Then hundreds of hitampun spears came from the sky.
