-who was this kid?-

CHAPTER 1

Daniel together with his comrades stroll the secluded part of the Šaveroii. It is where the illegalities happened. It is said as the black market of the city. The Šaveroii city one of the cities of fireous kingdom. It is the second abundant city among the four cities. Fireous kingdom, is a kingdom of fire elements. These said kingdom kept the legendary fire gemstones. They are choosen as the guardian of the stone.

Daniel and his comrade is on a mission. Their informant choosed to meet them at these said area. They've been tracking a group of Darfetious, a soldier of Dark force. Together him, Ezekeil, Gabriel and Michael roam the black market. They cringed at the sight. Different kinds of species were spread in the dark narrow alley of Šaveroii. Some of them are Elves, Wolves, merchants from waterious, windrous, earthrous and woodreous. These are common criminal merchants. They didn't know as to why the law officials of Fireous haven't raid this place. They didn't care anyway. Its not their problem and literally, its beyond their power. Every kingdom has its own law. And them they have no rights to enforce theirs. They passed the narrow alley way and it led them to inconspicuous huge place of brothels and inns. These are also such an illegal business for their common illegal customers.

"Such a place" Daniel thought to himself.

They stopped near the small wooden inn. They entered inside and went to the second floor and took their seats. These small inn also served as a diner. If he's correct the name of the inn was Sarkkrit, the one their informer told them to meet.

As they settled down, a lady which a witch greeted them. She gave them a menu. Gabriel took it and shoo away the lady in a nice respectful way. No one would think of what they are. All of them dressed in a commoner way, no one will suspect that they are royalties.

As they entered the inn a few minutes ago, Daniel noticed that the customers gives off such auras and he knew by then, these were criminals. Thats why he and his comrades became warry of their surroundings.

"Where is he?" Ezekeil asked in a bored tone.

"Patience. He'll show himself"

"This place gives me creep feeling" Michael who's posture in guard.

"Same here. Sure this place are evil. I wonder why it formed undetected." Gabriel said in a whisper.

"Me too. Greedy officials I guess." Daniel voiced out. The three men nod their head at him.

A moment later a man in a dark cloak scurried in their way. Their brows rose in annoyance. The man stopped near their table, taking a chair and sat.

"So much of doing unsuspicious eh" Michael uttered in disbelief.

The man just grin. "Sorry, just some sort of undrenaline." He stated.

"Whats the catch?" Daniel asked, with out fail. No spilling of informalities.

"Getting down to business eh?" The man in a cloak said in a smirk. The four men glared at the man who squealed silently in terror.

"They've been spotted in the west gate of fireous. They are leading their way towards the woodrous. As far as I estimated, four days before they reach the kingdom." The informant said.

The four royalties stared at each other. Gabriel took a box out of his pocket and gave it to the man. "Do not tell any one of it. If you do, you know the catch" Gabriel said in seriousness. The infromant gulped consecutively. He knew whats with the threat. So coward to have his life on the line he shut his lips.

The four royalties went out of the inn, leaving the informant behind, who's on the contrary was ecstatic of the reward he got. Two pieces of gold and ten pieces of silver.

*******

Its been three years since he tracked the trails of those monsters. And with in that three years it led him to nothing. The anger and hatred he felt spilling from him with every days passing by. His thirsty for blood. For blood of those berserker who took a way the life of the person who nurtured him. His father. A single tear fell from his eyes.

The pain he felt is stronger. The hunger he felt lessen for just a little bit, when he killed the men of those monsters but only those one who's responsible for his father's death could filled the hunger he felt.

Only if his stronger. Only if he's powerful enough maybe, his father could still be alive right now. But, no! Till the end, he protected him. Till the end his father set himself on the front line.

He took a deep breath. So much for reminiscing his remorseful past. Three years he's been living alone. No current home to stay with. He is thankful for his father for he's able to make himself adapt with life he's having right now. He taught him everything he knew for living a lone life. His passing did a great impact for him but in the end, he's father still looked for him. He remember the words he told him.

"Do not let yourself fall on your past. Instead make a new life. Let not vengeance and revenge consume your heart, instead led a wonderful life where you can be happy and fullfilling." These what exactly his father told him beford his last breath. It easy to say but its hard to do.

His thought taken away when his ears caught something intriguing. From where he is and to where the sound was, he could tell it was hundred meters away from him. He's inside of the woods, a land which is a part of the fireous kingdom. And those intriguing sounds he could tell it came from the clearing.

All the places of all the kingdom of elementals he knew it from the tip of his hands. Three years of wandering around helped him to memorise and inprint the places in his mind he's been with. He knew every corner of the lands except from the three kingdoms. The Marvellous, the Elves and the Wolves.

The intriguing sound still doing its work. If its just some ordinary sound he will not indulged himself but, the sounds are made of clasping of metals and he knew by it, its a fighting. Thanks to his wonderful hearing. Infact his hearing could reached ten kilometers away plus he also have his wonderful eyesight that could reach far away. He's not sure how far exactly. It added his sense of smell. These treats help him alot with any troubles he made if he wanted to escape to.

Not wasting time, he race to where that sound coming from. His sprinting on the branches of the huge trees. He's like a stealthy ninja when doing it. A minute passed he reached the end point of the woods, facing the clearing. He's not wrong with his assumption. There is a fighting going on.

A group of Darfetious fighting a single man. He was in awe seeing the man fight the army of Darfetious single handedly. He thought his father was the most talented and amazing fighter but his wrong, this man is above and beyond his father. His gaze diverted from the man to the persons in cloaked 10 meters away from the scene. His jaw tightened. His fist gripped tightly. His veins bulged out from his neck through every corner of his body. The anger he consumed intensified.

Three years! And now his chances came. The one responsible for his father death, was only 15 meters away from him.

"Just hand yourself from us, mighty prince. You are surrounded. There's no sense and no use of fighting this bunched of armies" one of the dark cloaked men speak.

"Nah, I can do this all day. You knew that these bunched of idiots is just only an appetizer for me- and what a sense of having them fighting me if you already know I can defeat them" the 'mighty prince' they called answered shruggly.

"Cocky! But you think your cockiness bring you somewhere?" The other cloaked men said and laugh boisterously. "Hmmm... death maybe" he added.

NATHANIEL looked towards the man who laugh boisterously in boredom. Carfeil, the exiled king alpha of the wolves kingdom. He was been exiled for a hundred years. Raping and killing the royalties that is threat to his throne.

"The only death can happen here is yours" he shot back. The exiled Alpha king glared at him. Good. So much for an ego eh!

His attention diverted again to the Darfetious armies. A humanoid beasts of different classess. All of them has magic of their own but not powerful enough to even lend a scratched to him. Scanning them he estimated in total they are about more than hundreds of them except to the fifty members he killed.

He stilled when he felt something. A flickered of a sudden aura but died instantly. He roamed his eyes passed the armies and settled on the woods. He's sure the aura came from there, it maybe just a second but he felt it. He could not be mistaken.

Having a clearer vision, he saw a silhouette of a man. His brow rose when it disappeared suddenly. But the aura that flickered is not composed of malice but it tastes of hatred and anger. Someone has his own vendetta.

The bunched of idiots attacked his distractive self, too bad for them his guard always on high alert. He blocked and dodged their attacks. This continues on and on until, he stopped from where he is.

He raised his finger on front while drawing a symbol. It is called a cast magic. The rune of foreign writing appeared as its light in orange color. Meanwhile all the Darfetious armies except from those ten men in dark cloaked stilled. Some of them stood and some of them fell to the ground with a thud. The orange light was the one responsible for it.

"Oops! Not even a sweat" Nathaniel cackled. The ten men surprised of what happened. But when Nathaniel's gazed land upon them instantly they hid their surprised.

"Art magic no. 20 purifying death. Its a magic that only apply for a beast. When the light touches one itself, its death. Now... now... ten of you versus one me. How oddly it is, isn't it?" He said dismissingly.

"Whats with the look Carfeil? Ah, let me guess, asking why it didn't affect you? Yes, your a beast but, isn't it thrilling if I kill you instantly?" He smirk.

Carfeil greeted his teeth from his taunting. He can saw, he is holding himself from launching himself to him. Well if he does, it could be great.

"I must admit. You did a great job extracting me from my comraderies. Though I'm curious as to why"

One of the cloak men giggled joyfully. Arkf, the highest general of windrous. He's been condemned of killing the late king and forming an alliance to the Dariculous kingdom to exterminate the windrous kingdom. But their planned been intercepted. Arkf knowing these, he's gone berserk as to why he assisinated the late king of windrous himself. Not just that, because also of the grudged he had for the king. The news that they are step-brother was overwhelming. He wanted to be king himself. The day of his sentenced, he escaped. No one knew how did he do it. But there was a gossip he had helped from with in the kingdom.

"We knew, that your men been following this , they called informant. What they didn't know they've been led to a  trap" another one of the cloak men uttered in a smirk.

Nathaniel's interest been piqued by this one. Him and his comrade been trailing their informant. Extracting and exchanging information. 'Shit!' He cussed to himself. Those information they exchanged were confidential ones. They've been lured to a trap for letting their guard down.

Rigor, an elf prince. The crime he did,was simple. Killed his brother that was promised to a throne. Becuase of jealousy he went down to such extreme measures. Rigor known as one of the powerful elf. He had the magic of water and earth. He can manipulate a mind wether what kind and what force. This one is powerful.

This time he's the one who smirk. "Do not belittle my friends. You all knew what they're capable of?"

"Oh, no need to boast. We are well aware." The tallest one said.

Reifus, his uncle. The second elder brother of his father. He clenched his jaw. How dare he! His crime? Brought war to their kingdom. He wanted to rule the Marvellous as to why he attacked their kingdom in surprised. Many people died that day. Their people. Its a tragedy that been egraved to their people's heart. But eventually he didn't succeed but the coward fled.

"Reifus!" He said gritting his teeth. Anger seeths  in his voice. The audacity of this man to smirked at him.

"Is that how you greet your Uncle, Xander? So unrespecting" he said nonchalantly.

HE LET HIS anger there for a moment, the reason why his aura swirled for a second, but instantly he suppressed it off. But, he is too late the mighty prince already sensed him. He's surprised of it. In just a fracture of time he already could tell where it came from. When that prince's eyes narrowed to where he is, he was shocked. The distance between the prince and him is approximately twenty meters, but he abled to see him. In that instant, he teleported himself to a safer distance. Where he can be able to see and hear them.

They've been exchanging words which he didn't give a damn, until the one person undone his cloak and revealed himself. No, mistaken, it is him! The reason which his father lying on the ground. The one who killed his father; Reifus!

He knew he couldn't stop himself now. The rage, the anger and hatred mold as one which propelled him to attack and he did. In an instant he appeared justly infront of Reifus. Their eyes met. Him ablaze in fury while Reifus that of shocked. Then suddenly, Reifus flew few meters away from where he is.

The time difference when everything happened is only in three seconds. The moment he teleported and appeared infront of Reifus, only for a second, thus the moment their eyes met add another second and while the moment Reifus flew from the impact of his fist add another second. In total its only three seconds all of it happened.

Reifus company have thesame reaction as the former. Shocked! But in just a second they all reacted. Their senses guarded up but it didn't deter him or hinder his rage. Instantly blade of swords appeared on his sides pointing toward the remaining nine. Just like that, he attacked.

Harmoniously he dances with the blade in sync. The nine cloak men instantly defend themselves. Hundreds of blades attack the remaining cloak men. Five seconds passed, the attacked ended. He stood on the ground while the dust of smoke engulped the nine remaining cloak men. But it didn't hinder his senses to know they are still breathing. As the dust smoke subdue, there stood the nine cloak men. Their clothes almost tattered from the blades yet they appeared unwounded. Reifus now standing in the middle of the nine men.

He glared at the ten men while they gazed at him in annoyance.

"My...my... you surprised us there. Heck you even ruined our clothes" the elf man said calmly yet his eyes held fury.

"Youngman you had the audacity to land a hit on me. I must say am surprised with the blow. Quite a force you had there" Reifus said amazement in his eyes. "Xander, this fellow quite strong but not enough to wound us. Is this your surprised for us?"

NATHANIEL was also surprised of what happened. But in an instant he hid it. This fellow boy appeared from nowhere. He just magically popped out in a sudden. Or this could be? Perhaps he was. That aura awhile ago. Just looking at the back of the boy and the fury he unconsciously spilled justify his intuition.

"Are you sure about that?" The boy asked confidently in his deep manly voice. Just saying it, all the ten men coughed out blood.

No one knows as to why they spilth blood even Nathaniel was dumbfounded. He must say his attack and the power of the blades was just a tiny stick for these ten men but- seeing these, makes Nathaniel confused too.

"How?" A simple question asked by Zathor one of the highest officials of Darculous kingdom.

"Nah, thats a secret." The boy states in no arguments.

"How dare you! You filthy piece of shit!" Argus said seethingly.

Argus, the scumbag king of waterous kingdom but that was before. A greedy monster who wanted power for himself. He was once been trusted with the water stone element but he used its power evily. Until the gem chooses another guardian that was now the new king of waterous kingdom his son, who he abused in terror. Argus been exiled like the former alpha king. Death is to be sentenced to this mongrel but because of his son's loved, he exiled him. But now he wanted him dead and with a bounty to buy a city. He tried to kill his son but he failed, the reason to drive his son to asked for his death.

"You won't say that after I kill you." The boy billows.

Argus laughed boisterously together with his company. A sudden event happened that cut their laughter. Argus head rolling on the ground wide eye.

'What the hell happened?' Nathaniel asked himself. How? He didn't see anything or any movement or event sense something different. Argus just laughing, now his head dettached from his body. The boy. No it can't be. He didn't move. His senses was on high alert. Any turbulence in a change of atmospere he can detect it in a precise way. What just happened is mystical.

"I warned, did not I" he heard the boy mumbled to himself.

Nathaniel in agape. Impossible, did the boy do it? Did he- but how?

When Nathaniel sight directed to the remaining men their faces showed shockness and bewilderment.

"Why stop laughing? You must laugh more. Isn't it funny that one of you lost its head?" The boy cackled. "Ah... isn't it exciting? Who's head shall be lost next?" The boy tilted his head creepily.

Fudge! Even Nathaniel felt creepy from this boy. Who is he? What are his motives for this? How terrifying. Nathaniel thought.

Nathaniel sensed the atmospher became dense. It became denser in an emotion of fright coming from the nine remaining men. He too feels a little nervous.

"Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, in the land of windrous kingdom with in the vast woods built a wooden house. An old man lived together with this teen boy. One day the boy went on a hunt for food, and when he decided to went home found the old man lying on the ground, bathing on his own blood to die. The end" the boy said in rage. "Ring a bell, gentlemen?"

"Maddox..." even if it just a faint mumble but he heard it. His ears perched angrily. So they knew him. He's been shocked a little. No one knows the true name of his father only him. Impossible! It could be?

"Ah, I remember. That oldman was a pain in the ass. It took ten of us to fight him. But too bad, he's gotten soft. The Maddox I know is ruthless and terrifying quite different from the Maddox I encountered three years ago." Reifus said with a glint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"You have no right to say his name!" He billows angrily. No one will insult his father infront of him.

"Who the hell are you anyway?" One of the cloak men said. His gaze landed on the one who spoke. He remembered him. Liother!

Liother, his father adopted son who also betrayed them. The reason of what happened in his past. He composed himself. He controlled his anger. He remembered his father's word. He calmed himself.

" I am, Ethaniel James. The one who will kill you all" he stated.

"E.J?" Liother uttered in askance.

"Glad you remember me. How long has its been? Eleven years?"

"You're dead!" Liother shouted angrily.

"If I'm dead, how come I'm still talking to you?" He said in a smirk.

"I will kill you!"

"Not if your dead" Ethaniel taunt.

"Calm yourself. He's just riling you up. So, you knew him?" Reifus asked Liother. The latter nod.

Nathaniel listened on the bantered that going on. Who's this Maddox they're talking about? The only one he knew by that name was gone a long time ago. Liother! How can he forget. He knew him. He was the guardian of the late king and queen of Luminous Espiritious. Yes, that kingdom. An enough pang of pain hit him. Her. How he missed her. She died. And his too late. Because of this scumbag Liother.

"I've already had enough of this." The fellow boy said. Then a mystical thin red layer of visible contrast of light wrapped them in a ten meter circumference. Whats this? Impossible, he can do this kind of barrier- this kid is something else.

"Death zone- cellious vizar."

Nathaniel knew this kind of magic. Even the nine men knew this too, gauging their reactions. Cellious vizar, a death barrier. A barrier that sealed the enemies and its caster inside. It can only undone if the opponent of its caster died, but if the caster died on the fight, its passive magic will activate. The death zone will put a cursed seal to the casters opponent that will led them to their death also.

This magic is an advantage to the caster while its become terror to the opponent.

"You boy! You know what this spell can do. Are you really that desperate to through your own life?" The silent member of the cloak men said.

Nathaniel gasped seeing the man who speak. It couldn't be? How? He is?

"Prince Nathaniel such an honor to see you here."

"Xarthel!" Nathaniel seeths angrily. "You- why?" He asked in disbelief but almost disappointed.

Xarthel, the former highest Royal knights. His friends. His companion. His comrade. But how? He's been praised as the hero of the fireous kingdom. He is also a prince the cousin of the king. He is also his confidant.

"You traitor!" He gritted his teeth angrily.

"Traitor? You called me a traitor?" Xarthel said in a scoffed. "You took someone who I valued the most." Xarthel huffed. "You are the one who's a traitor."

Nathaniel narrow his eyes at Xarthel. He didnt take something from him. If he's talking about her, then he did not. Her and Nathaniel loved each other. Xarthel knew this, but he fell in love with her silently, until, that day came when she's gone.

"I did not take her away from you. As far as I know. She's mine and you dont have any part of it" he calmly said.

A burst of a thicked aura instantly engulfed all of them. The heaviness of it that somehow make a sweat out of him. He knew by then, where it came from. Xarthel! Displaying his true power.

But, in that moment a bright light appeared that shines in just a second. As soon as it died, there it came again, a numerous swords floating in mid air. They were thousands of them.

"Lithious imperious" the fellow boy chanted. Then he raised his index and middle finger and pointed it to the nine remaining men. Doing that, the thousands blades followed his command. Its rushed in a lightning speed with a death wissing sound. A loud clashing impact of blades on the ground echoed back. A brown dust smoke wrapped the cellious vizar.

The attack happened longer than expected. the nine men weren't visible from the thicked dust but Nathaniel can see clearly through it. They were blocking the blades thrown to them some, were cutting through their skin. The last it happened it didn't scratched or even wounded them but this time, blood gushed from their wounds.

Nathaniel can tell also that the blades were not ordinary sword, it is by far wrapped in ki. Every single one of them. This technique is somewhat related to the earth element. A metal element technique that is the sub-element of earth.

He also wonder why this kid didn't attack him. Did he sees him as an ally?

"You there- don't just stand there. This technique wouldn't do much damage to them. A little help from you will much be appreciated" the boy commanded him, while his back facing him, still concentrating his focus on his magic.

Nathaniel cringed from the command the boy threw to him. But nonetheless he followed him anyway. He's right, the technique barely damaged these asswipes.

So, the boy saw him as an ally.

He raised his palm directly to the nine men. Nine ball of fire which has the diameter of ten inches formed in mid air around his raised palm. The red fire intensified in temperature. The color became darker and the energy it posses became thicker. In a wave of his palm, the ball of fire thrust towards those men. A huge explosion reverberated. The thicked dust of smoke became thicker.

The young man stopped his attack. Still hundreds of blades formed around him as if serves as his shield. The impact of the explosion vanished, remains the remnant of it. Solid soil spread everywhere. Huge holes appeared.

As the dust smoke disappeared. The nine men no where to be seen, but instead a thicked humungous semi-circled wood can be seen.

They used the wood to covered themselves from the explosion. This technique and element power, Nathaniel realized why its familiar. Xarthel, had the two types of elements. The fire and nature.

The thicked wood sheild undone and there they are. Their upper clothes gone now. Their torso bare as the day and only on their pants. Their faces formed a scowl on it. Their scratches and small wounds visible on their skin but immediately it was healed.

'Worgh' Nathaniel thought to himself. Worgh was a general and an exceptional healer that came from the woodrous kingdom. Xarhtel and Worgh both acquired nature elements. Its maybe the reason their wood sheild still intack from his flame plus, Xarthel can also absorbed flames based on his element. Both of them had related elements, Xarthel And Worgh. Uniting the same power and abilities of an element can make a more firmer and deadlier power.

A ferocious growl shook the ground. Carfeil shift to his beast. Now stood ten meters away from them is a black humungous wolf with a height of twenty feet. He's wider than a normal house than can accomodate a big family. No wonder, he's been titled as the most feared king of wolves. Even Xarthel and Reifus are warry of their companion.

Carfeil beasts eyes glowing in both saphire and silver colors. The indication of his magic. Fire and wind. He's one of the wolves who's been blessed with magical powers. The times of his reign no kingdoms dared to lay a hand on his colony, for they know how strong and deadly he is. His power was like of the ancient kings.

Carfeil slowly moved infront towards them. When he's six meters away he stopped. His eyes went to him and landed on the young man. His beasts let out a sinister growl while his sharp razor pointed fangs dripped in a poisonous saliva. His focus weren't on him but on of the young man. He growl viciously an indication of an attack. But the young man posture did not changed. He seems relaxed and calm. Even with the way the beast growl, the young man did not flinched.

In a speed of lightning the beast lunged on the young man. But an impossible thing happened. Before it reached the young man, the wolf humungous head detached from its body as it rolled on the ground. While the body surged forward no stopping from the sped it does. The young man dodged from the body whos directly moving towards him. The beast body passes the young unto him which he also dodged while its head remained rolling on the ground.

It only happened in a seconds. Two seconds to be exact from lunging to its detaching head. Like earlier the kid did it again. Carfeil headless body shift back to his human form.

Just like that the most feared and powerful ancient king of wolves just died instantly on the arms on this young man. This, this is unbelievable.

This time the remaining men did not hide their shockness and surprises.

"My... my... thats two. Who's next?" The young man again uttered.

Nathaniel, this time was in awe. Again the young man did not move from where he is. The speed of that beast was unmistakble super fast like the lightning. But how the fricking fudge the kid, did his attack? Was he faster than the lightning itself? The time of the attack to reached him was just a second, a fricking hella second! The only thing he did, was dodge the surging headless body of the wolf. How? Even the blades that protected him still intact around him. If those blades move he can detect it from the ki that wrapped on it.

Nathaniel felt the wariness among the eight gentlemen. They were maybe, contemplating of what their action shall do. Even him took warry with this kid.

"Ah, I change my mind. I decided- you three" the young man pointed the three men: Xarthel, Reifus and Liother. "I'll let you live for a while" he added.

"And you mighty prince" he said turning himself at him. "Its alright if I going to kill your Uncle?" He asked in a frown.

"What?" He asked shock.

"Never mind, you're not listening anyway." He said dismissing him.

He asked shock not because he's not listening. He wonder why he needs his permission in killing his uncle. Wait- how did he know one of them is his uncle. The fact, that out of the three he pointed his Uncle was one of them.

Then a burst of an immense aura swirled heavily and thickly. The ground began to shook, the woods which was far from them shattered in the immense power the aura gives off. That aura came from the young man. His eyes widen so as those gentlemen. The heaviness of his power shocked them all. Who was this kid? What tremendous power he hold.

"Alright, let's end this already" as soon as he said that, the youngman vanished. In just three second interval he reappeared holding the detached heads of the five men. Worgh, Arkf, Rigor, Earlf and zathor.

Terror! Yes it is. It was the right term to described the faces of the remaining three men. Their eyes were so wide. Fear seen on it. The power the young man displayed and what he's capabale of shook the three men to their core. The five men, no- the seven men he killed were not just ordinary, all of them came from high ranking families somes are royalties and holds very powerful ability, but in just a flashed he killed them all.

"Liother! You should know better what I'm capable of. After all you knew my bloodline. I know you knew what I am before. The reasons that I did not hunt those responsibles for the annhilation of my families because I made a promise and a vow to her, to forget what I am and who I am. I did. I really do. Y'know what triggered it? Killing Maddox. Now you let out the beast I've sealed with in" the young man seeths in a deep anger. Earlier the ground shook, this time it deformed. The solid ground formed a huge pillar. The once plain ground became rocky ones. The woods were not even visibles anymore, they burst into pieces.

The aura he gives off intensified even more. It became so very dense and even thicker than usual. The young man's body levitate in the air. Liother expression was that of a dread and terrying horror.

"Y-y-your, n-no. It can not be." Liother stuttered.

"Well it can be, head General Liother of the queen and king guard of Lightious Espiritious. I thought you already recognized me when our eyes met earlier. Years had change me then." He said in a mock.

"Your a-alive!" Liother said confusely. "But your body had been found-" Liother mumbled but he puased "shit!" He cussed aloud.

"Hacorth, that bastard!" He uttered angrily.

The young man set foot on the ground. There's something odd on his body. Awhile ago, Nathaniel could not sense magic from him, but this time, its oddly different. Honestly, he could not sense magic at all, but this terrifying feeling made him shiver in an odd way.

"Oh, Mr. Harcoth fooled you then. I wont forgive you for what you did to Maddox. After all I'm his student just like you." After he said that, he reappeared infront of Liother. But the latter quick to respond, before the swords that the young man holding on his both hands could reached Liother, he managed to block it with its own.

Liother and the youngman exchanges blows in a lightning speed that even a masters in ki, couldn't keep up with their movements. But he was able to see them clearly, thanks again to his super vision.

Both of them are literally masters of blades. Their movements were smooth and flawlessly polished. But, once again, something odd about the youngman movement. Its like, he's just toying Liother.

The two broke apart. Only few feets are the distance between them. Liother's cheeks has a long cut where blood oozing from it. He also has wounds on his both shoulders, on his arms, and legs. While the youngman has nothing on his body.

Liother seems exhausted while the other was relax and calm.

"You mastered it." Liother uttered.

"I did. Like I told you, you should know it."

"I see, as expected from the pr-"

Liother didnt has a chance to finished his words. His head in a blink of an eye, detached from his body that was now near his left foot.

"Oops... My hand slipped" the young man mumbled and he laughed crazily. "Now, you two are next" he said in a menacing way while looking at the remaining two. Reifus and Raphael!

Nathaniel, was still in trance of his shockness. He could not believe of what he witness right now. Who is this kid? Who was he?

"Let me get this. You two might be wondering who was I?" The youngman said pointing at the two men. "Since, this will be the last day you might see me, I will as well must tell you my secret." He said on a pause.

"Liother, you knew who he is right? He came from Luminous kingdom. He was known as the trusted guard of the king and queen. He was adopted by this person Maddox who was my father" the youngman said calmly but his eyes held infuriating anger.

Maddox, yes he knew that man. Maddox the highest General of luminous Espirious, the brother of the late king of Luminous. Maddox was his good friend. He was the reason her and him met. But, he didnot know Maddox had a son. He only knew of Liother.

Revenge. This was what the youngman after. He wanted revenge for his father.

"Liother was once I called brother. I looked him up as one of my inspiration but, he- turned it all to fire. Smold it all to dust. He is a traitor who betrayed my kingdom!"

The youngman shouted seethingly that made the ground shook angrily. Bright red, orange, blue and white veil colors emitting out of him. The intense aura once he showed, now became even more heavy and thicked. The force of it made Nathaniel dizzy, even he as called as the most powerful man on his kingdom affected by the sheer force of the youngman's power. Unbeknownst to him the two remaining men affected by it too.

Now that they know who these kid is, Xarthel and Reifus consumed in what called real fear. Fear for their end has come to an end.

"Maddox, you tricky witted man!" Reifus thought seethingly to himself.

Reifus, knew killing Maddox will crumbled the will of the people of the Luminous Espirious, and it did, it really did. Hearing the death of him, also means killing the people's of Luminous Espiritious soul. The kingdom was already under their reign, but now, this youngman appeared telling them of who really he was. Not just that, showing them his true power, it is indeed dumbfoundingly. Yes, Maddox lineage was a myth, a real myth infact. The origin of the Luminous clan was said to be the most ancient of all times. This lineage directly aligned to the once called pillars, and now, he thought Maddox was the one gifted of it but he was wrong. This kid indeed was the one who has it, The Luminous spectre force.

Reifus gaze turned to Xarthel, he too showing thesame reaction as he does. Fear, real fear.

"I am tired of these competition of power. I will bring you now to the gates of fire." The youngman said. Nathaniel hearing this, brought him out of his state.

"Oh, I call for the spirit who acquired thee, give me your strength as I am your master, I call you, spectrous Espiritious" as the youngman finishing his chant a tremendous soothing scorching blinding light consumed the whole kingdom of fireous or even more so towards its connecting soil. The lights appeared for a minute, as its vanished instantly.

Nathaniel could not believe of what these light was, but the amount of the energy it brought was infinite that even him rattled and fell to his knees. As it vanishes Reifus and Xarthel are no more only their ashes remained been swift by the wind.
