War (2)

As a Tier-9 Warrior, Turiel's vision is drastically extended. He can clearly see for about a mile. Turiel concealed himself and neared his distance to take a look on who made the large scale attack. When he confirmed that it's the demon lord who made the move, he signalled Kassajin and Amara.

A deep voice resounded through the vicinity

"Stop hiding you three."

When Turiel and his subordinates heard that, they are shocked. They can't help but tremble because their plan to attack while the demon lord's guard down failed just like that.

Turiel came out with Amara and Kassajin.

Turiel muttered

'Although he felt our presence, it does not change the fact that he is exhausted. We can easily beat him.'

Turiels confidence came back when he thought of that. He grinned and spoke

"Yo demon lord. We're here to kill you."

"Oh an angel, human and elf?"

Zero is slightly shocked when saw the elf. Elves are mostly neutral in world affairs so he is quite surprised.

Zero is alone now because he ordered Mathias and his troops to retreat. At first they insist to fight with Zero. But with just Zero's serious gaze, they retreated.

Zero then scanned on how strong his enemies. He is surprised. He muttered

'Why they are so weak? My students are even stronger than them!'

Zero took 5 students a thousand year ago. At that time, he is just bored so he decided to roam the world and took students. His students are one dwarf, one elf, and three humans. They are all craving for knowledge and strength so they did not care even he is a demon. They all possess great talents. The dwarf is a blacksmith. As a demon lord who lived for a billion years, he learned all of the occupations. The elf is a Tier-9 archer at the time he took him in. The two human male is also a Tier-9 swordsman and spearman when he took them in. The human female is nearing Tier-10 magician when he took her in.

4 people arrive while they are looking at each other. Zero is very familiar on who are they. They are his students! The dwarf did not come with them because he don't possess combat capabilities to even protect himself.

While the 4 is nearing on Zero's position one of his students looked at the three people.

"Kassajin?" Zero's student spoke. His appearance is a old man in his 50s.

When Kassajin heard that his eyes widened in shock.

"F-father? I-is that really you? W-why are you here? I thought you are already dead!"

Kassajin spoke while in a state of shock.

Then the old man looked at Zero and knelt down

"Master, did my son cause you trouble? If yes, I will personally punish him!"

Zero is shocked in the turn of events. He looked at his student and said

"Yes, Alexander. They led an invasion here."

Alexander is the name of his student.

Just when Alexander is about to spoke, the man beside him spoke

"Amara? You are here too to cause trouble for my master?"

Amara is shocked when she realized on who is the man who spoke to her. That is her master! She immediately knelt down and said

"Master, it's not that I want to be here. The man beside me threatened me that he will kill all the villagers in the village if I don't cooperate with him!"

Kassajin also knelt down in front of his father and explained why he is here

"Father, the man beside me said that he will offer me a Saint-rank sword if I cooperate with him. Thus, I immediately accepted his offer. Forgive me father."

The weapon ranks are divided by low, intermediate, high, legend, saint, god and ancient.

Turiel is angered on how his subordinates turned back on him.

"You damn traitors..."

He thrust his spear to Amara because she is closer to him.

WOOSH! Before his spear landed, an arrow was struck on his right hand.

"Ughhh!" Turiel yelled in pain.

The one who made the attack is Katar, Amara's master. Katar is a handsome man in his 30s. Amara is astonished on how fast and powerful is that shot. She even forgot that the spear attack was directed on her.

Zero is shocked not by the attack but on the turn of events that is happening right now. He spoke and looked at Turiel who's suffering in pain

"So you are the mastermind huh? Why did you attack the demon land?"

Turiel spoke in angry tone

"Because you demons are all nuisance!"

Turiel took out a small potion in his pocket. Before he even drink the potion, his head is fell on the ground. Zero is standing beside him. Zero shook his head and wiped his hand that been stained by blood.

Zero looked at his 4 students present and to Amara and Kassajin.

Zero spoke

"Claire, Alexander, Earl and Katar. I am already teaching you for a thousand years. You are now all Tier-11 warriors. I think it's time for all of you to explore this world. Also tell Aravus about this matter. As for this Kassajin and Amara, Alexander and Katar I'll leave this to you. All of you should return or create your own families now. If I can, I'll try finding you all in the future."

Then Zero vanished in everyone's sight.

The four are shocked on Zero's words. Claire spoke with a tears on her face

"Did we do something to Master to abandon us?"

Earl shook his head while holding his spear

"No. I think Master wants us to also find a life.

Master don't want us to just focus in fighting."

Katar smiled and said

"I think Earl is right. I'm very grateful to Master because he really cares about us. Although I stil prefer to learn more under Master.."

"Why all of you are so sad? We're still Master's student! He did not abandon us or anything Master just want us to experience the outside world once again." Alexander said in a lively tone.

The three nodded in Alexander's words. They headed to Aravus house. They told him on what happened at first he became sad but after realizing their master's intention, he smiled and felt thankful.

Aravus spoke

"Should we thank master personally before we bid our farewells?"

The four nodded.

They immediately headed to the large castle. They saw Diablo coming out of the castle. Claire asked "We pay respects to Sir Diablo. Is master inside?"

Diablo answered

"Yes. But Master told me that no one is allowed to disturb him in the next three thousand years."

The five is stunned when they heard Diablo.

Claire said while scratching her head

"We intend to personally thank master for his teachings... but I think it's a bad idea to violate Master's words."

Claire looked at her four subordinates awkwardly and said

"I think we should thank master after three thousand years..."

"Yeah. We still have tens of thousands of years to live so I think we are still alive at that time to thank master." Alexander spoke.

The four nodded in Alexander's words.

The five clasped their fists to Diablo and said

"""Farewell, Sir Diablo!""""

Then they slowly walked away from the castle.
