Chapter 28 - 24

While the mythology beast he summoned rampage in all corners of the battlefield, Ziel not idle. He attack Asbil whose was not far from him. He disappeared from where he was and left after image.

"Asbil be careful!!" Ashil felt the danger to Asbil and shouted. But it's too late. Ziel was already beside Asbil and slashing Zetta to him. Asbil who felt the danger to him raised his spear and resist Ziel's slash.

"Ugh..." Asbil slightly retreated while receiving Ziel's attack. But Ziel didn't stop there. He twisted his body until he was behind Asbil and slashed his back..

"Aaaaaaaaaah..." Asbil cried out in pain.

"Asbiiil!! You bastard!!" Ashil angrily shot hundreds of his arrows at Ziel. On the other hand, Ziel ignored Ashil's attack. He slashed Alpha towards Ashil attack. And a huge space tear swallowed all Ashil's arrows. Then Ziel disappeared again from where he was.

"Shiit!!" Ashil who felt a dangerous feeling immediately avoided where he was. But the movement was a little late. Ziel who arrived was behind Ashil slashing Zetta and cutting off his right hand."

"Aaarrrrggghhhhh." Ashil screamed holding the spot where his arm was severed.

"Heeh... Your response was pretty quick. Previously I want to split you in two... But since you dodged I had to change the direction of my sword suddenly." Ziel looked at Ashil who was in pain indifferently.

"Ashil!! How are you!? Quickly stop the bleeding!" Asbil immediately approached the injured Ashil.

"I stopped the bleeding. The most important thing now is that we have to find a way to escape. We have to find time using teleportation stones." Ashil while enduring pain explained his plan to Asbil.

"But how? He won't give us time to activate it." Asbil hesitated with Ashil's plan.

"You're right. Then we do it like before. You stop his movements. And I'll attack him, and then we'll back off." Ashil is still not sure if the same way will work.

"Alright let's do it." Asbil immediately moved at full speed towards Ziel.

"So you guys have already decided on your plan?" Ziel calmly dodged the spearhead's attack that suddenly came from behind him with minimal movement. Then he immediately launched a counterattack by twisting his body and slashing Zetta towards the neck of Asbil. But Asbil held withstand his sword with a spear. Seeing his slash detained, Ziel did a spin kick to asbil's waist.

Asbil bounced tens of meters. And when Ziel will chase him. Hundreds of fire arrows attacked him.

[Fire Rain]

Ziel this time didn't resist his attack using Alpha. But he makes a turtle shell-shaped barrier similar to Princess Aishia. Ashil fire arrow couldn't break through Ziel's barrier at all. But it was according to their plan.

"Asbil now!!" Ashil shouted at Asbil who rushed to his side immediately. And he activated the teleportation stone. The stone shines brightly and... Nothing happened.

"What!? What's going on!? Why isn't the teleportation stone working!?" Ashil shouted hysterically at an unknown situation.

"Do you think I'll let you escape? I still have business with you guys. I've been sealing the space around here. So you can't escape using teleportation stones." Ziel's voice could be heard in their ear. And Ziel stabs Zetta and Alvha into their bodies.

"What!!? Since when did you... Urghhh." Ashil was shocked to see the sword suddenly pierce through his body.

"Argh... I didn't realize it at all." Asbil tried to strike back at Ziel, but he couldn't move at all.

"You won't be able to move after being stabbed, you won't have to do anything in vain. So who will answer my question?" Ziel said indifferently.

"You think we're going to talk? You better just kill us!!" Ashil shouted challenging Ziel, while Asbil just kept silent.

"All right..." Ziel said shortly and Alvha that stabbed into Asbil's body suddenly shone and Asbil's body vanished. His body disappeared sucked into space cracks. This is one of Alvha's abilities.

"Asbiiiiilll!!! How dare you kill him asshole!! I will kill you!!" Ashil attempts to move until every pore of his body bleeds. Ziel just looked at it calmly and put Alvha back in the magic circle that sealed it. Ziel's left hand that didn't hold anything suddenly held Ashil's head.

[Memory Extraction]

"What are you doing to me? Aaaaaaaarrrrggghhhh..." Ashil shouted echoed throughout the city. Princess Aishia and her group trembling in fear at the screams of pain from Ashil.

"I'm just reading your memories." Ziel then closed his eyes and began to see the contents of Ashil's memory.

"No.....!!!" Ashil's eyes became blank as Ziel looked at his memories. After a while passed Ziel finally opened his eyes and finished looking at Ashil's memory.

"Huuuhhh... So they're looking for fragments of the World Altar. And will use it to cross between worlds. It turns out that gods are also not omnipotent. What their intention to cross between worlds is not explained at all. And everything related to their organization simply doesn't exist. So they use spells to omit all information about their organization. As expected of the Fallen God." Ziel breathed a sigh of relief, and he opened the space next to Ashil. There he picked up a fragment of a world altar from Ashil's space inventory. It's only about the size of a dinner plate. And there may be 5-6 fractions left.

After that, he injects his mana into Zetta that is still stuck into Ashil's body. His body instantly disintegrated into dust.

Roooooaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr...

Ziel looked at his mythology beasts had returned. He stopped his spell and the 4 mythology beasts disappeared.

[Release...]

"Then what should I do now?" Ziel muttered looking towards princess aishia and the others. He was currently unable to stay quietly in the Argaint Kingdom anymore. He also had to search for others World Altar fragments. And find out the purpose of the 'God Domain'. His eyes accidentally met Princess Aishia. Ziel came down from the sky and approached them.

When he was confronted with Princess Aishia, Ziel was just silent and didn't say anything. He felt the terrifying gazes from all of them except Princess Aishia and Princess Freya. Yes, Princess Freya's gaze felt strange to Ziel who didn't know her very well. Therefore, Ziel just ignored her gaze. And the first to break the silence was Princess Aishia.

"Ziel...I'm sorry... At that time I... I have no other choice." Princess Aishia sobbed as she explained anything.

"..." Ziel just silent indifferently looked at her.

"Ziel..." Princess Aishia felt a bad feeling when she looks at Ziel's crimson-colored eyes.

"Your Highness Princess Aishia..." Ziel said flatly.

Princess Aishia body trembled and she feels pain in her chest listens to what he says. Because Ziel called her like that when they first met.

"You don't have to worry about that. Because I've been betrayed by people from this continent before. Getting one or two more people don't mean anything to me. After all, I didn't feel anything from your betrayal." Ziel then turned around and left them. The space in front of Ziel suddenly split apart.

"Ziel... Please forgive me... Please..." Princess Aishia's heart was broken. A huge hole formed in her heart at this moment.

"Send my greetings to Anna-san... Thank you." Then Ziel disappeared into the space tear.

"Ziiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllll...!!!" Princess Aishia reached out her hand trying to grab Ziel. She shouted from inside her lungs until she lost consciousness.
