Chapter 77: Arin and Kaidos
Zones are always locked in time and space. But Zones like the black castle, in which the original owners have already made provisions are even different.
The spirit in such Zones where the original owners gave power to oversee it has absolute power in it. They draw power directly from the influx of mana– the time-space that made zone a thing.
To remove the hold of the spirit and temper with their power, all you need to do is split apart time and space and create an outside interference. And the easiest way to do that is to open a portal directly to the outside.
Now, the amount of power needed to open a portal like that from inside an unclaimed zone is astonishing. In an Iron zone, you need to be at least Gold. Or use a gold artifact.
Although the spirit didn't know the technicalities of all these, it did know the amount of power needed to achieve it and when it realized it was exactly what the warrior in front of it did, the spirit flinched and flew back hurriedly. "Y..ou...what! Where do you come from!"
Kaidos giggled and raised his hand where a dark dagger glinted. The solid blood on the ground gathered and began to float towards him, even the one from the dead Awakeners joined. "I am on a mission,' he looked toward Jael and smirked. "And I came from a very peculiar place...."
The spirit shuddered; it could almost feel its powers draining away from the new rip in space-time. It has to come up with a plan quickly!
Jael and the others remained in their shield, looking at what was happening. They don't fully understand except for the part where the spirit's attack didn't work. But one thing was apparent, this beast-man that called himself Kaidos didn't mean them good in any way.
"What do you want?" The spirit asked. It began to gather its remaining power together inwardly, but on the outside, it was putting out a nervous look.
Kaidos laughed; the blood gathered around him, weaving on his robe and as a big orb above his head, sloshing gently. "I want to sit on that throne. And then complete my mission....!!!!"
The spirit lurched its attack; it brought down both palms facing downward; it was a sharp movement. And the spirit used all its power for the spell; instead of trying to crush Kaidos, why not crush the air above him and then bring the whole thing down on him?
What the spirit didn't know was that those blood around Kaidos have a life of their own, literally. They were made with life force so they reacted. The blood created an umbrella above his head and the spell attack was shrugged off.
"I'm bored with you and your games!" Kaidos shouted, and the blood reacted again, it exploded forward and formed the mouth of a gigantic wolf that swallowed the spirit in one chomp.
The spirit's presence varnished immediately and the blood reformed into a big orb. Kaidos yawned into the silence that followed. "That was interesting."
The silence was broken by Arin who pointed his sword at Kaidos. "Do you think we will just let you do as you wish? You are an Illegal freelance aren't you?"
"And what if I am? There's nothing you can do about it. I'm going to claim this zone just to prove that. But I don't have anything to do with you Knight of the GUV." Even Kaidos know not to mess with the GUV.
"The Tower Dungeon has rules about the claiming of Zones. And the GUV follows such rules. You should go back to where you come from." Arin warned, his sword glowed by his side.
Kaidos raised his two hands. "Okay, okay, but after I have finished my mission. The zone can rot for all I care. Jael the Necromancer! You will follow me back!"
Jael bristled, and he opened his mouth, but Litha beat him to it. "Who are you to say such? You'll have to go through his teammates first."
He turned to her. "Oh..I read about you too. The annoying girl that keeps following him about. And there's the big one too. You are all here but that's not a problem. I only want the Necromancer."
Temur's voice was frigid when he spoke. "Do you think you can handle all of us just to reach Jael?" He was a bit surprised that he had to ask that question.
Tim brought out his stones, and they surrounded him in a ring while Dile flexed his claws, and a fireball lit up the room.
Kaidos looked at them, he saw the silent threat. And he smirked. "Will I be able to handle all of you? Yes. That was why I was sent on this mission. I am capable."
It was Litha's turn to bristle. "Enough with you!" She removed the shield and began to prepare a technique attack of her own. But Kaidos used the opportunity to attack as well.
Stay tuned to m-v l|e'm,p y r
The blood flowed and hardened, forming countless spears above him. Some face the GUV and the Walkers, but it was the one that was meant for Litha that was shot off.
Litha didn't have time to make a dome shield, so she put a big sheet of mana in front of her, and the spears smacked into it with so much force they pushed her back.
Her eyes widened when the spears continued to push her back. "Impossible! A small attack like that has that much power? Who is this guy?!"
She reinforced her shield more than she should before she was able to hold the spears, but they continued to stay in front of the shield; she gritted her teeth and then made the shield explode outward.
The force sent the spears exploding backwards and some of them broke as they scattered. Kaidos looked at her curiously and then his eyes lit up. "I remember now! I was told to watch out for the two companions of the Necromancer as well!"
