Battle against heath

"Right on time." The man said, before putting the hand clock in is pockets

"Move out." He said to the grunts, as they marched towards the village ledge

not seeing an opportunity, Zakai stalked behind them, waiting for the right time to blow

"So this is where the magic stone is located." The man said, his eyes running around the barren village with disdain

watching the man jump down, Zakai made a link to the cliff in case extra precautions needed to be made

the man jumped down and chanted

"Grunt." The man said, causing a grunt to appear near him

"Compound magic," Zakai muttered, watching what they were doing. call it foolish for not striking but he needed to scout the opponent's strength

"[Ice magic : -]

Zakai found this the right time to strike as the guy was locked on cast a spell

using wind magic, Zakai rushed to the guy, only to be met with a laugh

"[Ice magic:Crystal ice shield]"

A massive ice shield blocked Zalak's attacks, making him retreat

The man's eyes looked at me before snickering "I should only take 2 minutes to beat you based on my calculations."

"How did you detect me?"

"Do you really think that hiding your body won't hide your mana?" He looked at me like a fool "Anybody with even a decent bit of talent could know you were there."

Zakai watched as screams filled the village as the grunts were killing the residents of the small village

"Why?" Zakai said, watching the man "Why do they need to suffer?"

"People Who Live in the forsaken realm are just pigs to be slaughtered." He said with a blank face "They only have enough mana to improve their daily life." The man looked at me with disgust

"I have never done torture before but ill make to make your death a long one." Zakai Secretly stayed up in the libabry and learned different types of poison

although he doesn't know how to fully harness it, he secretly coated it onto a shuriken for a last resort if needed

Both people put their hands up, chanting magic at the same time as each over

"[Fire magic: Hestiac Arrow]"

"[Ice magic: Heavenly Ice fang]"

Zalak started by creating fire arrows and pulling out his bow, shooting them in an attempt to disrupt the man's Magic

Feeling an imminent threat, Zakai dodged the Pillar of sharpened ice that erupted from the ground

"Not bad." The man said

2 grunts appeared the man and said "Sir heath, we haven't found the magic stone."

Heath looked at the clock in annoyance

"It's been 1 and a half minutes." He looked towards Zalak

"Do you know where the magic stone is?"

"Nah," Zalak said

"Kill the villagers."

Hearing this Zalak made spacial magic and leaned back into it, causing another portal to erupt near the grunts

Heath tried to shoot Ice magic into the portal but was greeted by a wind enhanced Zalak who chanted

"[Rock magic]"

the familiar armour arose from his body, making the ice do nothing more than a slither

One of the grunts tried to turn into the water but was burned using fire magic, evaporating the poor mage into steam

the other one's fate was sealed as a wind blade quickly ended the other grunts life, causing Zakai to smirk

"Kill the villagers you say?" Zakai gave a smile that could make Satan turn his head "Ill make sure to kill you and torture you till you scream for your parents." Zakai gave a laugh, before reinforcing his skin with a lot of wind magic

something really ground him the wrong way about this guy

Heath looked at me "Many had said that, but most of them died by getting impaled in the cranium by my ice shards"

"Well, ill just have to burn them then!" Zakai said, summoning his fire magic

"[Ice magic: Heavenly ice fang]"

Heath put more magic into the attack as more than one pillar of sharpened ice appeared, each targeted at my escape points, trying to get rid of the escape from the attack so I get hit at least one

creating some more hestiac arrows and shooting them, Zakai watched as the fire arrows melted the ice and shoot towards Heath, causing his to have to dodge the flaming arrows

seeing him pant, Zalak taunted

"Such a low mana reserve." Zakai taunted the out of breath old man "Could it be perhaps..... your not a noble?"

Heath expression froze

(No pun intended)

"even a peasant would have better mana reserves than you," Zakai said, slowly going faster than the naked eye

"Could it be.... you from the Forsaken realm."

The calm and collected Heath burst out in rage "There nothing more than dogs to become my pet! all of them deserve to die! they only have a small amount of mana! unloved by mana and useless! nobles are right! they are just weaklings who waste valuable resources!"

Zakai laughed hearing this before saying "But you're from the forsaken realm, no?"

Heath sighed "Don't lump me in with those failures."

"Oh but you are one." Zakai came behind him and whispered to the mana reduced old man "You lost to a 15-year old that just recently collected his grimoire." Zakai smirked, "how does that make you feel?"

while Zakai was behind him , he stabbed him with the shuriken that had poison coated on it , causing him to scream in pain and agony

the poison was a painful one, that was for sure. although its lethality was questionable it could knock the opponent off guard with a large amount of pain

grabbing a chain and cutting off the Clock that he had attached to his wrist via a chain, Zakai looked at the man and sat down, staring at him

"Hmmm." Zakai said, looking at the screaming man "You have around 2 minutes." He mimicked Heath, making him cry in a mixture of his pride being crushed and the poison.

"Better not rub salt on the wound," Zakai said, creating some salt and rubbing it into the cuts, making the pain receptors in his brain go haywire

Zakai took no pleasure in this, he just wanted to see someone like this guy die a horrible death for their sins

the villagers swarmed out to see the bodies of the one's who killed some of their families alongside a boy with a red half-shirt on with the symbol of the crimson lion on it

"Heres here to save us!"

"I want to become a crimson lion member too"

Zakai took no pride from the villager's claims as he stared down towards the man, who was begging

"Kill me, kill me, kill me."

looking towards the crowd of villagers, Zakai said "Look away."

most of them did as Zakai killed the begging man with no remorse in his eyes

Zakai teleported away with the body and Grimoire as he went to a secluded spot

Absorbing the Grimoire, he got 2 spells

-------------------------

Ice magic

"[Ice Magic: Heavenly ice fang]" inherited from Heath it seemed

and "[Ice magic: Demonic ice arrows]" just as the name said

sitting down and recovering his mana, Zakai started his not so long way home thanks to Spatial magic
