Chapter 21 I Serve A Bigger Lord

It's been two weeks since Zeno made his stay in the village. Apparently, the name of the village was Razoha, a place that has been said to be since the beginning.

It was created by the first successor over 2000 years ago, and its people have been the ones keeping it intact, passing the responsibility from generation to generation.

Zeno has now grown up a little, the theory they came up with was that his body was trying to process a new source of magic for him, since his brain was confused on how his body should act.

"My lord, you have to use this or you won't recover quickly" The maid of the palace struggled to get Zeno to drink the soup.

"Here's the thing, I've gotten tired of taking this every day, can't you give me something, I don't know sweet," He said, looking at her cleavage with a perverted look on him.

Hina came out of the room and smacked him on the head, "Don't worry I'll take care of it, you can leave" She said to the maid.

"Alright, Lady Hina" The maid left, closing the door slowly while looking at Zeno.

"Mind telling me what your problem is?" Hina asked, before sitting on the bed with Zeno.

"I've grown tired of this soup, when do I get to save people, you told me I'm the Successor, well where is my enemy?" He jumped on the bed, oozing out fire from his hands.

"You're not ready yet," Hina said, She opened the soup and took a spoon out of it to give Zeno.

Zeno took it, folding his arms on the bed, "I heard Selvin saying, ``You used to kiss my cheeks when I'm asleep at night". Zeno uttered.

Hina paused, she completely froze up after hearing that, her cheeks turned beet red but the darkness was still oozing after she heard Selvin was the one that told him.

"Is that some kind of ritual I don't know about?"

"Excuse me for a sec, I'll be right back" She dropped the soup and left the room.

"Hmmm… hey, I'm not finishing this" Zeno yelled, a black mist came out of Zeno's hands and it sucked the food into its black hole.

Selvin was milking out the purple nutrients from a plant none as Shinoku, he was able to find a lot inside the forest.

He could hear the footsteps of someone running toward him, but he didn't take it seriously until he saw Hina charging toward him with her sword.

"Selvin!" Hina yelled

"Shit, what did I do now?" He packed up his plant and placed it back in his bag.

His eyes glowed a purple dream color, "Fall!" He yelled and Hina tripped falling to the ground.

That pissed her even more, she stood to her feet and whooshed toward him, he was about to use another command but Hina was too fast.

She covered his mouth before slamming him to the ground, "Now… we are going to have a long chat about privacy".

. . . . . .

"I feel like we've been walking for ages" Anna grunted with every step she took.

"Quit your whining and just walk, I smell large group of human ahead, so we have to be close to some kind of town." Uta pushed the leaf away from her face to see where she was going.

"Why couldn't we just take the snake, uhn? That would have been way faster and less… walky" Anna complained.

"Come, Anna, use your head, that's a very bad idea," Andrew said, choosing his steps carefully.

"Finally someone with sense, I underestimate you too much Andrew," Uta said.

"It's because Uta is one selfish bitch, she could end up eating the snake if she snaps and that is our only means of transportation" Andrew yelled.

"Oh makes sense," Anna agreed.

"Are you stupid or something? Geez, it's because we don't want to draw attention to ourselves, flying with a giant snake to a village is way too risky." Uta yelled.

"So it's not about you wanting to eat the snake then?"Andrew asked even though he had a sarcastic look on.

"Of course not!" Uta yelled.

"Hey guys, a village up ahead" Ava showed them.

. . . . . . . . . .

They were able to get into the village, Fiora was the name, and to their surprise, it was very huge, they had to meet the leader before they could settle in, it's one of the rules in the village.

"I can't believe you let a cat steal our last means of survival, you idiot" Andrew whispered, since they were in the palace surrounded by guards.

"I'm sorry okay, I got tricked, it was way too cute and I couldn't just ignore that" Anna replied, trying desperately to defend herself.

"Tsk! You sicken me" Andrew moved away from her right after giving her a disgusted look.

"The hell?"

"So, what do we owe the visits from outsiders," Dazai walked in, sitting on his throne with his spear in hand.

"We are in search of a traveler, he goes by the name Zeno," Uta said, as soon as she spoke everybody froze.

While the rest were kneeling showing their respect, Uta stood staring the Dazai in the eye.

The voices of the people echoed around, Even Anna and the rest knew what was going on but it was already too late

"Such audacity, do you realize where you are?" One of the high priests spoke.

"He's a ruler? That doesn't apply to me, in fact, he should be the one on his knees, I serve a lord that is far greater than he is" Uta said, placing her hands on her head while still taking a strong stance

Knelling to such a man will only bring shame and disrespect to my lord." Uta said with no fear whatsoever on her face.

"Did Zeno really say that?" Anna whispered.

"Of course not," Ava sighed, "She's snapped."

"Ohhh, and who is this lord you speak of so firmly?" Dazai said, feeling irritated, buy he controlled himself in order not to show his other side to his people.

"The successor," Ava replied.

Everyone gasped as soon as they heard her say that, "Lies, I heard the successor is already dead, and doesn't return for another 200 years or so."

Uta laughed, she stretched out her hands and revealed the crystal at the back of her palm to them, "I am the third servant of the successor, the weapon Arkia, Uta Tanaki... A demon" She grinned.

They all bowed down, "Apologies, we had no idea, please forgive our insolence." they pleaded.

"What is going on?, isn't that the same crystal that's on my hand?" Andrew questioned.

"Enough!, is this how you treat your kingdom? Some random redhead comes here and claims she knows the successor and you blindly follow" Dazai yelled.

Uta stood her ground, releasing her energy into the air, "Do you doubt it?" She questioned, as her eyes glowed, magic energy surging through her entire body.

"A test, if you can defeat my greatest warrior, then I'll consider it, Sira!" Dazai yelled her name.

She stepped down from the throne and moved towards Uta, who still showed no fear and was as confident as ever.

She was a wolf girl, being how they inherited some features from a Wolf's own, they are rare and a very special kind of breed.

"Okay, I'll play your game, too bad, I'll have to make you see me beat her to a pulp,Babigoon," Av laughed.

Dazai's eyes lit up as soon as he heard her call him that name, "Screw this bitch!, Sira take her down!" He thought to himself.
