Zaneos looked at the fireballs raining on him. The Demon merely looked up at the sky. When the fireballs were ten meters away from him, he moved his right hand toward the sword. He pulled the sword out and seethed in again. That happened in the blink of an eye.
No one could see the sword's movement. In the blink of an eye, many spaces distorted in the air and swallowed all the fireballs. The terrifying fireballs vanished into nothingness.
Ashley and Aki looked at the scene before them with widened eyes. The two, no, all of them could not comprehend what happened. Where did the fireballs disappear to? Was that Zaneos' doing? No one knew because they did not see Zaneos do something. The demon did not even move from his spot.
.
Even Bronson was clueless about what happened. He did not know if that was Zaneos' or Aerelion's doing? The Undead Spirit looked up. Beyond the cloud, he saw the big shadow coming closer. So he did not know if it was the demon or the wyvern. Both were creatures of the same origin, after all.
'Maybe this is why Master used Spirit Blessing on Zaneos and Aerelion.' The Executioner thought to himself.
Zaneos smiled subconsciously. He did not expect that one day, the spirit would be a lot stronger than his peak when he was alive. Yes, he could not achieve this when he was alive. He had gotten stronger, even though he did nothing. 'The system is ridiculous.'
Meanwhile, the group of Fiery Rook was still hovering above him. They did not move and seemed to be confused with the disappearance of their fireballs. Zaneos observed the group and muttered in a low voice. "The sky is not my domain, but his."
At this moment, Aerelion came down from the sky and hovered above the group of the Fiery Rook. The Fiery Rook turned around, and the Infernal Wyvern roared furiously at them. Right after the roar, the reddish-black fire spread out from the Infernal Wyvern's body.
The fire swept everything in the sky, including the group of the Fiery Rook. The reddish-dark fire stayed up in the air as the dead body of the Fiery Rook fell one by one. All of them were still in the fire.
Zaneos could trust what was in the sky to Aerelion. His focus was on the enemy that came from the pit. The wall around the pit suddenly fell off and revealed the army of the Gator Tribe. They had been hiding underground all this time to ambush the group with the trap.
"Do you want me-" Before Bronson could finish his words, Zaneos cut him off. "No, I will face the Chief and the Elder. I don't think those armies could force me to go all out."
"I figured that out." Bronson nodded his head and looked at the septuplet Troll Warlords. "Do you remember what I said?"
"Yes, Sir. We fight them, but we don't kill them." The septuplets Troll Warlords replied simultaneously. Bronson asked them to not kill the Gator Armies, but wounded them and left them for Ashley and the force to kill them. Even though his Lord did not ask him to do it, he took the initiative to tell the Troll Warlord.
"Don't!" Goldier tried to call his brother. But the latter did not heed his call. The other three tried to help too.
"Don't go over, stay back!" Goldier ordered the Obsidian Gator Chief, the Earthern Gator Chief, and the Venomous Gator Chief to not help his brother. The three Elders halted their steps and looked toward the Grand Chief with their eyes wide opened.
"What do you mean? Your brother is..." The Obsidian Gator Chief stopped midway as he realized Goldier's intention. "Do you want us to surrender?" The Obsidian Gator raised his voice slightly.
"That Demon's words are right. We are the leaders, our decision will affect our tribesmen. If we fight them, I am afraid they will kill us all." Goldier voiced his concern. He prioritized his tribesmen over his brother's life.
"So you think we can't win against that demon, undead, and seven trolls? What are you trying to say?" The Earthern Gator Tribe asked the Grand Chief.
Goldier looked up at the sky. The reddish-dark fire became like a cloud in the sky, and he could see the Fiery Rook fighting the giant creature. Only five Fiery Rook were still alive, and they fought the wyvern desperately.
"Yes, I don't think we can win against them. The best choice is to surrender. Look at those tribes that have been absorbed by them. It seems they treat them well. We don't see abuse or..."Before Goldier could finish his words, the Venomous Gator Chief interrupted.
"I understand what you are trying to say, Goldier. However, I don't think I can work for someone who has killed Silver." The Green Gator shook his head. "However, I know you can control your emotions better than us, and think more rationally than us. We will fight alongside Goldien, and we will leave the tribe in your care."
The Venomous Gator Chief smiled and turned around. The Obsidian Gator Chief and The Earthern Gator Chief tapped Goldier's shoulders and smiled. "We will leave our people in your hands. We are sorry for leaving you alone, brother." After that, the two gators also turned around and rushed toward Zaneos.
Meanwhile, Zaneos pulled his sword and slashed the sword horizontally. The demon did not move from his spot. However, the space in front of Goldien suddenly distorted, and the blade came out from the distorted space.
