Chapter 10: John's arrival at the slave traders' headquarters and the beginning of the battle.

<span; >"Don't panic,<span; >The weather today is beautiful, so I won't kill you." His cold smile showed again,Jhon answered him with <span; >Angry expressions.<span; >"You should be happy because I will let you live."

<span; >"I didn't ask for your pity, you filthy one."

<span; >"You want to keep fighting, come on" He said,Jhon closed his eyes.

<span; >"what is he doing?"the man said in his mind.

<span; >Jhon attacked, that time used on sword. Jhon <span; >wielded his sword as the man dodged his attacks. When John's assaults became more dangerous, the man decided to employ the same trick again. He vanished, only to reappear elsewhere. However, this time, John swiftly directed his strike to the new location without any delay. The man didn't anticipate this, leaving him defenseless against John's sword.

<span; >John swung his sword, cleaving the man's body in half. <span; >But the strangest part was that there was no blood; the man's body transformed into water.

<span; >"So, it was just a watery duplicate." Jhon said.

<span; >"Y<span; >ou are stronger than I thought."the men said,that was standing away . Jhon prepared to attack. "Don't try it's just another watery duplicate,<span; >But I am truly surprised. <span; >"The way you use your instincts is astonishing. You managed to sense the locations i marked, this knowing my next move. I hope to meet you again. Goodbye." It transformed into a water.

<span; >"I heard that things like this exist only in the other part of the world." Harry said.

<span; >"Yeah t<span; >he Black Stone is believed to prevent maggie"<span; > <span; >The Philosopher's Stone is one of the primordial stones, and some consider it the strongest primordial stone. Primordial stones are stones found before the world, and they provide the world with power. The Philosopher's Stone is one of them, also known as the Stone of Logic. It prevents the use of magic or any strange ability aimed at changing the nature of matter. With its existence in this part of the world, the world has become divided into two parts: one where freedom to use all kinds of abilities exists, and the other where people live a natural life without powers.

<span; >"What was that?"

<span; >"It's just magical tricks."

<span; >"I haven't thought before that there a people like him un our world"

<span; >"You will still see many astonishing things."

<span; >"What is that (maggie)?"

<span; >"I don't really know,<span; >But based on what I've heard. <span; >It sounds like you're describing harnessing a part of your spirit and transforming it into a force, like fire, water, or other complex techniques. Regardless, it seems to be a destructive power in every sense of the word."

<span; >"Are they contracts with demons or what?"

<span; >"No,who use Maggie has his own ability "

<span; >"<span; >But not all of them are evil?."

<span; >"This is a ridiculous belief that you, the weak, think, that strength means evil. This is what keeps you living your entire life in weakness."Jhon <span; > said angrily."the people who live in that world are like us ,they feel like us,they have a fear too,they love too. I had a friend once from there, and he was my best friend, <span; >He sacrificed his life for me."

<span; >"I am sorry " Harry looked at the ground.

<span; >"It's okay; in every place, there are good and bad people."

<span; >"What is our next move?"Harry asked, "<span; >"Are there other wizards like him here?"he asked eas well when Jhon didn't answered.

<span; >"We will see,now we are so close from them,your daughter will be on that ship"

<span; >"I hope so"

<span; >"I will kill every one stand between you and your daughter "

<span; >"Thank you brother "<span; >Harry said after he gave him a grateful and appreciative look.<span; >And hugged him.<span; > Jhon <span; >wasn't comfortable with that,but he didn't say nothing.

<span; >Then <span; >They decided to break into the place.

<span; >" I will go with you Jhon "

<span; >"There are a lot of men there,your life will be in danger"

<span; >"I don't care about my life"

<span; >"You <span; >could become an obstacle for me."

<span; >"Just safe my daughter, my life doesn't matter "

<span; >"No need for you to come with me."Jhon said as he put his hand on Harry shoulder. "And be my eyes here,tell me by a signal if you see anything strange " that was a trike from Jhon to make Harry believed that he is doing something helpful.

<span; >"I will Jhon, "

<span; > "Take care of your self Harry, you will see your daughter soon" for the first time Harry saw Jhon smiled.

<span; >John advances alone towards the ship, it appeared abandoned. Due to its immense size, even if there were a thousand men aboard, it would always seem empty. He knew that he will face a lot of men there, properly there are a strong men like the randy,<span; >But he always reassured himself that in this realm, it doesn't matter who stands against him; he is destined to win, and nothing else matters but victory.

<span; >He was just a few steps away from the ship. <span; >He realized he was being observed, paused in his tracks for a moment. <span; >Arrows rained down from all directions towards John. <span; >Deflecting them wasn't difficult for him،just cost him a few swings by his sword. After that a<span; > man appeared on top of the ship,<span; >He signaled with his hand, revealing more men who were hiding, each holding a sword.

<span; >"So that is who came to kill us" One of them said,when he was looking at Jhon.

<span; >"They don't know about Randy,I think Harry's wife told him about me as I thought "Jhon said in his mind.

<span; >"So, he doesn't want to talk. We must be careful to make him scream while he dies."the same men Said.

<span; >"Good luck "Jhon said.

<span; >"We will see about that"

<span; >They started attacking on him,one men advanced toward Jhon.

<span; >Jhon caught his hand, <span; >Then, he stabbed him in the abdomen. That made the others stop for a while.

<span; >"Are you gonna keep watching?" Jhon said.

<span; >"We won't forgive you, we will make you suffer " a black men said,<span; >He was wielding an axe. He moved to attack on Jhon, <span; >He screamed at the top of his lungs, then raised the axe above his head to bring it down on John.

<span; >John swiftly moved to deliver two impactful strikes in the shape of an X on the chest of the black-clad man.

<span; >John always exploited the vulnerabilities left by adversaries who lacked sufficient expertise.

<span; >A few men followed the black one,they attacked on Jhon after that,<span; >The number doesn't matter to John, as long as they lack skill, he won't face any obstacle against them. <span; >When they wanted to attack, they left a gap in their defense, and John exploited that, beginning to end their lives one by one.

<span; >"Who is this man? I will withdraw." A men said

<span; >"I will also withdraw." Another men said either.

<span; >They all began to withdraw, fleeing from him.

<span; >The one who was standing on top of the ship jumped on the ground.

<span; >"Don't think I am week like them" He said.

<span; >"I don't think, I am sure" Jhon replied.

<span; >He was carrying a bow and a few arrows, with a dagger hanging from his waist. <span; >He prepared and released an arrow at John. He blocked it.

<span; >"You're better than I thought. No one before could deflect my arrow from such a close range."

<span; >"<span; >"Do you want me to make the distance closer?"

<span; >"You can't, <span; >Every step you take towards me is like a step towards your grave."

<span; >Jhon started walking toward him. <span; >He fired arrows at him, and John was blocking them.

<span; >"He blocks them all,this men is so dangerous "the men said in his mind" I will shoot him, and when he get close I will use my knife to finish him".

<span; >John continued to advance, deflecting the arrows, and he walked with slow, deliberate steps. <span; >He was shooting arrows at a rapid pace.

<span; >When there were only five steps between them, he dropped the bow, drew his dagger, and attacked John, aiming for his neck. "<span; >In close combat, the dagger is always the better weapon." He said in his mind as he smiled.

<span; >He launched his attack, surpassing John, thinking he succeeded. However, he didn't realize that his hand holding the dagger had been severed until it fell in front of him.

<span; >John turned towards him،put his hand on his nick, he felt blood,<span; >It was just a minor wound."<span; >"I haven't seen my blood in a while; you should be pleased as you managed to wound me."

<span; >The man wasn't listening or aware of what was happening. He continued to stare at his severed hand, as if waiting to feel the pain. After a few moments, he began to scream.

<span; >"How did you do that?" <span; >He said, placing his hand on his severed hand.

<span; >"<span; >Reading your moves is like reading an open book." Jhon said. <span; >And he continued his way towards the ship.

John does not know what awaits him; it is likely that those present here are the strongest, certainly stronger than those who preceded them. But none of this made him hesitate, as he will continue to advance no matter the cost.
