25 Chapter 21

Princess Freya and the others were dumbfounded when they saw Ziel defeat Erigos with just his words. Previously Erigos looked very strong and toyed with them as he pleased. But now, he was lying helplessly on the ground. Even Erigos' subordinates didn't have time to react when their commander was suddenly dropped to the ground.

"So, where should we start?" Ziel said indifferently to Erigos.

"What do you mean?" Erigos found it difficult to speak due to the pressure released by Ziel.

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point. What are you looking for in this kingdom?" Ziel narrowed his eyes at Erigos.

"Hahaha... do you think I'll tell you? Quickly release me! Or you and this kingdom will perish!" Erigos laughed and threatened Ziel.

"Hmm... Did your courage to say that to me come from the two demigods over there who had been quiet from the start and did nothing?" Ziel pointed to the sky above the Alba Mountain Range.

"What!?" Erigos widened her eyes after hearing Ziel's words.

Not only Erigos but everyone who heard it was shocked. Demigods were true god-like existences on the Clorius continent. But Ziel said there were two of them who came to the place. They all trembled in fear upon hearing his words. At the same time, they were more afraid of Ziel. He could tell where the demigod was hiding and said it calmly.

"Hahaha... amazing! For human beings, you're great enough to know where we are. Isn't that so, Ashil?"

"Yawn... It's more or less so, Asbil."

Suddenly a voice came from the direction that Ziel pointed. The space in the place distorted, and two people suddenly appeared. After they appeared, Princess Freya could feel that they possessed extraordinary powers. The two of them had a similar appearance. They were both brown-skinned and had long white hair. The thing that stood out the most about them was their pointed ears. The only difference between them is their height. The tall man who carried a bow was named Ashil, while the short man carried a spear named Asbil.

"Hee... it turned out to be two mixed-race creatures. Are you guys the result of an experiment?" Ziel said as he looked at them from top to bottom.

"What do you say, pest!?" Ashil became angry after hearing Ziel's words. He opened his nine aura seals with a two-headed snake pattern. Asbil also did the same thing as Ashil did. Asbil had the same number of aura seals and forms as him.

"Do you think you can suppress me with that power of yours? Ah, you said about the 'God's Domain' earlier. Is it the organization of the fallen gods in this age? Are you one of the results of their experiment to create the perfect powerful being? I can see that you are half divine race and half-elf. But for an experimental result, you are not that strong." Ziel stepped on Erigos' body, and he exploded instantly.

"What!?" Ashil and Asbil were shocked after hearing Ziel's words. They felt that Ziel knew very well about their organization.

The fallen gods' experiment to create a new, powerful race was a big secret since hundreds of years ago. No one knew about it except the Divine race and the people associated with the experiment.

Those associated with the experiment would be given a contract spell to prevent spreading any information about it. But the person in front of them knew about the fallen gods' experiments. It made them warier of Ziel.

Princess Freya and the others also felt surprised after hearing Ziel's words. Princess Freya gritted her teeth after hearing that fact. She was angry with the experiments the fallen gods had done.

"What? The strongest new race? Does that mean you are experimenting with using people on this continent?" Princess Freya asked unconsciously.

"This has nothing to do with you, pest." Ashil stared intently at Princess Freya, and an arrow suddenly flew towards her.

[Temple Doom]

Princess Freya quickly created a barrier around her. But the barrier was like a piece of paper pierced by a sword. The arrow shot straight at Princess Freya's head without anyone being able to stop it. Princess Freya will die instantly if hit by the attack directly.

"Princess!" Aryana screamed and tried to hold the arrow with her body. But she wouldn't have time to hold it back because the arrow was too fast. Princess Freya could only close her eyes and resign herself to her fate.

Before the arrow hit Princess Freya, it suddenly reversed its direction and headed towards Ziel. Then he calmly caught the arrow between his index and middle fingers.

Princess Freya dared to open her eyes because she was curious that the arrow still hadn't hit her. When she looked around, she saw Ziel catching the arrow between his fingers.

"You are indeed the man who was destined for me as predicted." Princess Freya said softly. Then she smiled sweetly while looking at Ziel's face.

"Who exactly are you!?" Ashil narrowed his eyes at Ziel. His previous attack was enough to kill a Saint or a Sage because the arrow contained the power of a demigod. But Ziel caught the arrow easily. He began to feel the threat from the person in front of him.

"Aren't you talking to me? It isn't polite if you suddenly turn your attention to someone else. What if you answered the question I asked this person earlier?" Ziel said as he pointed at Erigos body below.

"What do you mean?" Asbil held his jet black spear tightly and was ready to attack Ziel.

"Are you still going to pretend you don't know anything? Alright, I'll get straight to the point. What were you looking for until you brought the Origin Beast? Do you think I won't find it if you hide it amidst magical beasts? You're naive.?" Ziel pointed at the giant beast in the form of a two-headed dog. The thing that distinguished Origin Beasts from magical beasts were the magic circle mark on the monster's forehead. Moreover, origin beasts were ten times more sensitive to objects emitting magic or aura.

"Origin beast?" Princess Freya tilted her head in confusion as she knew nothing about the monster.

"You know about origin beasts too? Who exactly are you? There's no way anyone from this kingdom knows much about it! Attack him together!" Asbil was taken aback by everything Ziel had said. He ordered all his subordinates and magical beasts to attack simultaneously.

"Looks like I'll have to find out by force." Ziel sighed and flew into the sky. He stopped right in front of Ashil and Asbil.

Princess Freya and the others were shocked when they saw it because they knew that people who can fly in the sky have the power of a Magic King or a race with wings.

Suddenly the space around Ziel trembled. The nine magic seals on Ziel's body were opened. At the same time, nine magic seals also appeared in the air. A magic chain connected the magic seal in the air to the one on Ziel's body. Each of the chains connected a pair of magic seals.

Clank!

The sound of chains breaking echoed in the sky. Mana and aura spiraled and soared into the sky, creating a thundercloud. Hundreds of red lightning flashed with a deafening roar like the incarnation of a dragon descending onto the continent.

"In that case, the extermination...begins." Ziel said indifferently.
