Chapter 41: Zall and Xavic
He looked at his reflection in the mirror with disgust. Is this why everyone hates me? He thought in his heart as he clenched his hands. His skin was crimson red, his eyes were like devils and two horns were protruding out of his forehead. I look like a monster.
Why are you admiring yourself in the mirror? Lets go. A voice pulled him out of his stupor. The newcomer tried to pat his shoulder but he was standing at three meters, thus he failed. He turned to look at his only friend with a smile. Hmm. The teen was unaware of his inner struggle. He was walking at the front. He looked at the teen with admiration. He was a person who could fight against injustice although he was kind-hearted.
Xavic He said before stopping. The purple-haired teen turned to look at him. His purplish-blue eyes were staring at him with questions. What is wrong, Zall?Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
Why do you keep on fighting? You have a pretty good ability that can help you earn as much as you want, why do you risk your life? Zall asked abstractly. He was poor and alone as far as he knew. When he first awakened his superpower, people were beating him because of his look. His ability wasnt useful either, it was only good for taking the beat. But Xavic was different. With his rare abilities, he could earn his fill.
Because we have to, Xavic said after thinking for a while. I know you dont like fighting Zall, but whether you do it or not, monsters are our enemies, Xavic said, then kept on walking. Zall thought about what his only friend said. He thought about it a lot and knew monsters were enemies, and they had to kill them. Although humans werent any better than monsters, Zall knew that it was an us or them situation. They had to kill monsters, or they would be killed.
Zall encountered the evil side of humanity since he was a kid. Because of his different looks, he was always outcasted. He was always alienated. Adults beat him, teachers ignored him and kids despised him. He was used to it when he grew up, but some injuries were hard to heal.
His family was different. They were the nicest people he knew, and although not as much as him, they too had different looks, earning them the scorn of people. But his mother taught him to be nice, Zall, when people curse you, take those words and use them to strengthen your heart. Then, put on your brightest smile. That is your biggest weapon.
Roar? Tiger looked at Zall dumbfounded. It couldnt register the behavior of this human.
Xavic unleashed the lightning ball in his hand while shaking his head at Zalls words. When the rhino saw the lightning, it snorted and wanted to deflect it with its horn, but as soon as the lightning hit it, it felt its body was numb while a current traveled its body to energize its cells.
Hehe. My lightning is special. Xavic smiled and unsheathed the dagger on his belt. After they helped the post commander with controlled humans, he and Zall were awarded middle-tier weapons. Since Zall wasnt willing to use any weapons, and the post commander didnt have a shield, they exchanged it with money instead. But the dagger Xavic had was still strong enough to kill the beast in front of him.
Since rhino is a low-tier monster, I should be able to kill him with this dagger. Xavic thought and stabbed the rhino in the head. The daggered fastened on the monster's skull, but couldnt go past it. How hard! As expected of a rhino.
Zall raised his arm to stab over and over again. Rhino was stunned by the lightning, but when its life was on the line its body started to move barely. Oh no, it can move already, Xavic said and charged another lightning ball. Before the rhino could move, the lightning landed on its head, stunned it once again. But a strange scene displayed. The wound on the rhinos head closed up. It healed it completely. Xavic cried in despair.
I need to stab harder, Xavic shouted and kept on stabbing. But the rhinos skin was too hard. Before it died, the duration of the stun ended, so Xavic had to charge another lightning. To the rhino's surprise, its injuries healed once again. It looked at the human with grievance, Brother why do you keep on healing me. Why dont you just kill me? The stabs hurt, your lightning hurts, and you stun me to kill me only to heal me to start all over again.
After an hour, in the forest with blue grasses, and sky blue leaves, a teen was lying on the ground exhausted. A rhino was lying next to the teen dead. Not far from the two, a tiger and a giant of a man were snoring at each others embrace.
