Chapter 28 Release The Girls

Dazai looked around to see that he had been cornered by Zeno's army, he sighed using his hands to swoop his hair to the back.

"Really now Zeno, you brought your tools for a peaceful meeting, that's not playing fair now is it?" Dazia said, with a grin on his face.

Hina glared at him, clenching her fist, she has always hated him, only his presence was enough to put her emotions to the brinks.

"I don't plan to fight with you, my request is simple, release the women and I'll pretend none of this ever happened" Zeno uttered.

Using his skill of perception, Zeno could sense Dazai's men that were hiding in the forest, they were getting ready to ambush, 'How were they able to get through? What is Selvin doing?' Zeno thought to himself.

"I refuse, these women will play a good part in my plan, see, I have no intention of letting you leave here alive, you walked in of your own volition, and now… I get the honor of killing you" Dazai yelled, wrapping his body up in magic energy, enough to make his surroundings look darker.

Hina pulled out her sword and a huge force of raw magic energy oozed out it, the breeze blew heavy as she got ready to attack, "That's it, one more word and I'll-"

Zeno held her hand, "Calm down Hina, don't go losing yourself here" He said, while still keeping an eye on Dazai.

A portal opened beside Dazai and his closest general Yui walked out of it, holding Neko and Isabella in her hand.

The looked completely beaten up, the hardly had any strength left to lift a finger back at her.

Yui threw them to the ground after walking out of the portal, "Lord Dazai, we have a bit of a problem on our hands" She said, bowing her head as she peeped at Zeno.

Zeno's eyes widened in rage as soon as he saw Neko and Isabella on the ground, his eyes turned blue, glowing so bright that his soldiers couldn't help but smile.

"What is it?" Daizai asked Yui.

"The women on the third floor are missing, someone set them free, I met these two Intruders at the scene" Yui reported.

Dazia felt angry, turning his focus to Zeno as he yelled, "Zeno what did you…"

"To hell with you!" Zeno interrupted, he was so angry that his magic started leaking out.

All the soldiers that made eye contact with Zeno started falling to the ground, screaming as their heads began to explode.

"Quickly, avert your eyes!" Yui yelled, she placed a small barrier to cover both her and Dazia.

"Hmmm… it seems my eye of destruction has no effect on people with high magic resistance…" Zeno muttered, he was slowly walking toward Dazia, "No one should interfere, he's mine to kill".

"The hell…." Dazai yelled, whooshing out of the barrier, "Do you think you're talking to?".

In one swoop Zeno appeared behind him, landing a serious kick to Dazai's spine that sent him flying a few feets.

He went crashing into the forest, his back slammed a lot of trees to the ground before he finally stopped after falling on a rock.

Before he could even get a breather Zeno was already in the sky, falling fast to his position, like a speed bullet.

Dazai stretched out his hands while still laying on the stones, "Don't get cocky you bastard!" A huge beam rushed out of his hands, landing a direct hit on Zeno.

He thought he had landed it, but looking closer he could see that Zeno was using his hand to cancel the magic somehow.

The beam split in half as Zeno came falling in, Dazai eyes were filled with fear, even though it was just for a second.

Dazai immediately moved out of the way, avoiding his body getting smashed to bits when Zeno landed on the ground.

It caused a huge earthquake, one to big that the earth erected on a widely spread manner.

Yui wanted to run after Daizai but Hina appeared in front of her, aiming her sword at her neck.

"I'll stay put if I were you. '' Hina uttered, "Vina, take Nino and Isabelle back to the village,'' Hina ordered one of her Valkyries.

"You really think this a wise move, they are about three high-level fighters here, you can't simply beat them all at once" Yui uttered.

"Try me," Hina responded.

Out of nowhere, someone threw a sword at her, Hina deflected it with her sword but they left her vulnerable to Yui's attack.

Multiple giant vines grew out of the ground and began charging toward Hina, one of the vines was able to stab Hina's leg but the rest were cut down by her sword.

Hina leaped back, looking at her bleeding leg before giving Yui a death stare. Her injuries started healing but that was the least of her problems.

Five of Daizai's generals had already surrounded her; the Valkyries couldn't assist since they were busy with the other soldiers.

"If you think I'm scared, then you must be more stupid than I gave you credit for" Hina uttered.

"Your mouth can only get you so far." Yui had her vines surround her body and was getting ready to attack.

"Hina dear, do you need our help, looking at your situation, I think you do" Isla uttered, walking out of the forest with her warriors behind her.

"Wow, where's Zeno?" Selvin also came out from the same place, "Don't tell me he's fighting".

"Master Selvin, please be careful" Nana, Slevin's personal mage said, twiching her legs as she placed her staff in between her thighs.

"You guys.." Hina couldn't help but feel relieved at the sight of seeing her friends.

'They have more allies, tch! This is starting to be a pain' Yui opened a portal and escaped leaving the battlefield.

"She just left us" One of the generals yelled, "Damn that woman"

"She escaped, oh well, doesn't matter, we'll have you guys to take instead" Hina uttered, placing her sword to the side as she focused on the generals.

The portal opened in one of the rooms in the palace and Yui walked out of it.

"We can't lose here, we've gone too far to turn back now" She muttered, there was a red curtain that divided the room in two.

When she opened it, she smiled, "You might just be our key to victory," Yui laughed.

Geko was tied up with chains to the wall unconscious, with different markings of magic symbols on her body.

Yui moved closer to Geko and touched her face, feeling aroused from the massive magic she was feeling from Geko.

"I don't know why, but for some reason, I really want to kill you right now" Uta uttered, she stood at the side of the room with her hands folded and her back rested on the wall.

Her eyes glowed blue but her face still has a calm look.

Startled, Yui moved back, "How did you get in here?" She asked, "The barrier should have kept you out".

"You call that a barrier, please" Uta walked toward Yui.

Yui tried to move but she couldn't, when she looked around she noticed her body had been surrounded by threads.

"You did this?" Yui asked, 'Why... Why do I feel afraid?' Yui thought to herself.

Uta notched Yui's chin up, looking her directly in the eye, "You are going to tell me exactly what your plan is… and don't leave any details".
