Three Lives

White Zanir vs Belial

"You know Belial, Senior?" Ask Sora.

"Yes, the enemy who once tried to destroy the world." Said Jean.

"We were children then. When we and (White) 7-year-old Zanir formed the Ultra Force to stop Belial's army." Kagami.

Stop Belial's army? That means there are hundreds or possibly dozens of other Ultra Force members.

"Although it was only the five of us but we managed to defeat Belial and his army." Glen.

Waita minute! The five?!

"You said you were the five? Does the government not help you?" Ask (Dark) Zanir.

"More details will be discussed next time. For now we have to save (White) Zanir." Kagami.

"Saving? Is Zanir arrested or what?" I asked in confusion.

(White) Zanir is a very strong man. He could even defeat monsters with a single strike. He doesn't even need our help, does he?

"When we came here, he parted with us because an angel was blocking us. Even though the angels weren't his opponents but I'm sure when he got here Belial would come to him and beat him up." Glen.

"Wait... Why is he being targeted by Belial?" Ask (Dark) Zanir.

Thas right. It's so strange he was suddenly targeted.

"Didn't you listen to the story well? They had fought with Belial's army and also managed to defeat him. Moreover, Zanir's unreasonable strength (White) has made me understand. Belial hated (White) Zanir so much that he was targeted by him."

Also true. If that is the case then it makes sense that Zanir was targeted by the enemy. But why should we save him?

"We don't have much time, we have to look for him."

"Wait a while. There's a question that bothers me." Chelsea Say.

"What's that?"

"Zanir is very strong, right? Shouldn't you trust him as his partner?"

"That's if he doesn't seal his powers." Answer Kagami.

"What's? Sealing power?"

"Great power will definitely pay a great price so he sealed his own power and to unseal it he needs us to keep the seal key."

"We have to leave immediately. Faster is better."

That way. They left quickly. I thought not to come but in order to return we need the power of Zanir then from that. Me, Sora, Akiko, and Sevira along with Chelsea and (Dark) Zanir follow the Ultra Force group from behind.

They ran very fast and I had a hard time chasing them. Not only that, they seemed to know where they should go as if they already knew this place.

"Is ... still far away?" I asked who was no longer able to run.

Sora and the others did not look exhausted, even though we had run for about an hour.

"We're up."

We stopped at an empty lot. Nothing but empty space and nothing around. Neither buildings, rivers, trees nor anything else really existed.

"Where's Zanir?" I asked who really saw nothing but an empty place.

"Are you blind?" Answer Sora.

"Zanir!" Ultra Force screams when it finds Zanir.

Zanir did not hear our voices. Belial's spear pierced through Zanir's (White) belly and Zanir's sword of light pierced through Belial's heart. Even though both of them were covered with wounds and blood but both of them were smiling it made me think they had gone crazy.

"I thought you'd never bore me!" Belial shouted then an enormous magical energy overflowed.

"Heh... I'll take that as a compliment."

The magical energy moved from Belial's body and moved to the tip of his spear. The explosion occurred and made Zanir bounce with his body cut into pieces.

"Oi, he's dead! Why are you guys quiet?" Said (Dark) Zanir who was starting to panic.

"Calm down, an attack like that won't kill him." Jean answered calmly.

I have shed tears because my teacher and friend are gone. Everyone was crying except for Ultra Force.

"How now? If Belial sees us here he'll kill us." I said very scared.

I already knew the fact that Belial was a very cruel demon but I did not think that he was more cruel than I thought. The figure (White) of Zanir who has unreasonable strength defeated by Belial easily.

"If he sees us, I'll hold him down so you can run." Sora Speaks.

"Calm Sora, who says (White) Zanir has been defeated?" Saying Kagami calmly.

All the tears disappeared and I suddenly felt something move quickly. Zanir's right (White) hand lying down suddenly moved and strangled Belial's neck tightly.

"What's going on?!"

I really don't understand what's in front of me. Suddenly Zanir's (White) hand flew like there was magic controlling it. Belial tried to take off the grip on his neck but whatever he did to take it off, Zanir's (White) hand was getting tighter and tighter.

"Let go!! Oh.hhh..!"

Belial continued to be in pain and continued to pull the hand that was strangling him. The clock-shaped magic circle spun backwards above the sky. As the sound of the bells clang loudly, a blue light shone and shot past Belial's chest like a moving lightning.

"You think you can beat me? Not in two thousand years."

(White) Zanir appeared behind Belial with a different appearance. Her black hair turned blue as well as her coat.

"I...!"

Belial exploded after saying that and was left with nothing.

I was really happy to see my friend wasn't dead but I was wondering how he did that last thing. It was as if time was being pushed back like it was not a difficult thing.

"seen? Looks like our worries are overreacting." Glen.

I stared at (White) Zanir who was standing there but not a sense of pleasure or relief the expression he looked but rather a sense of sadness. I don't really understand but I feel there is a good relationship between (White) Zanir and the demon king Belial.

"Let's go there."

We follow the approaching Ultra Force (White) Zanir. The moment Zanir noticed our presence the sad expression on his face instantly turned into the bright smile he used to do. And thanks to that, I knew something about Zanir. He will cover up his grief by smiling.

"You guys... Thank goodness you're okay."

"Greetings, Mr. White Zanir. My name is Chelsea Greysaber, the first daughter of the Greysaber family."

As Chelsea introduced herself, (White) Zanir's eyes were shocked and unknowingly tears fell down and soaked his cheeks.

"No... maybe. You still are..."
