Chapter 868: The Midas' Rising Sun [Pt 2]



If there was something that was lacking in this world, which meant an overwhelming victory for Kuzon, it would be Aether.

But now...

"He used Aether..." That already made the First Prince a threat, irrespective of his capabilities.

Inasmuch as Kuzon was deliberating what to do in the current situation, he already knew he had to get rid of the prince.

'Guess I'll go to their location, then.' In a brilliant golden flash, he vanished from his location—of course, not before informing May via telepathy of his exit.

'If anything extra happens, I'll be back in a jiffy.'

With that in mind, he completely vanished from the Royal Palace.

Kuzon appeared right in the middle of the siblings' conversation, causing the both of them to look at him with surprise etched on their faces.

Gloria Midas was especially shocked, though it seemed the presence of her older brother granted her some form of solace.

Then, what of the First Prince?

"You got here fast." He smiled, displaying a friendly demeanor one wouldn't expect from an enemy.

"Of course. I can't allow my prey to escape, now can I?" Kuzon responded, a bright gleam emanating from his eyes.

For a moment, there was silence. It seemed they would continue staring at each other this way until he broke the silence.

"Are you truly a Midas Royal?" He asked.

"Why do you ask?" Kuzon swiftly replied with his own question.

"You look like one. Also... perhaps you're an illegitimate child and you are doing all of this because of a vendetta..."

Upon hearing this, Kuzon nearly rolled his eyes. He wanted to chuckle a little, but upon seeing the now serious expression of the First Prince, he changed his mind.

"That's not it." Kuzon smiled. "Calling me illegitimate is too much of a stretch, but maybe you're right."

Kuzon's real father was actually Kido, so he wasn't the actual child of the Empress and Empress of his own Midas Empire.

"Then am I right in assuming this is a vendetta?" The First Prince asked, his eyes narrowed as his seriousness began to increase even further.

Kuzon shrugged. "Maybe for my friend. I just tagged along with her."

He had already found a way home. He didn't need any further things in this place. He just thought he'd let off some steam and have fun with Maya one more time before they left.

'Ah, there's also the horrible things they did to the people in this world. Of course, that's wrong.'

With all of that in mind, though, Kuzon still stuck by his earlier statement.

"You... did all of that... for a friend? It holds no meaning for you?"

Kuzon was relieved the First Prince was finally getting it. There was no real reason to his action.

"I just want to fight. So come at me, First Prince."

At this point, any form of playfulness had vanished from the eyes and face of the Prince.

A deep scowl covered his face, and his eyes held a deep glare. The dark golden gleam they gave off as he stared at Kuzon showed repressed bloodlust.

"I see..." He muttered.

Kuzon nodded in response. His expectations soaring.

So far, the First Princess had been a disappointment. She had traces of Aether, but nothing too substantial. However...

'You're different, right? Show me.'

"I, Kuzon Midas, First Prince of the Midas Empire, will be sure to mete out the appropriate punishment upon you for betraying your people, and also for the gravest crime recorded in our laws—taking the life of a Midas."

"H-huh...?"

"And for that, you will pay the ultimate price." The golden aura around the First Prince, Kuzon Midas, suddenly peaked beyond what it previously displayed.

His long golden hair danced incredibly well behind him, glowing like a glittering river of pure golden oil.

His body took on a golden hue, and white markings covered his golden form.

Despite all of this, the Illegitimate Kuzon kept watching in a daze. The name of the First Prince resonated with him.

It was...

'My name? Ah, I see...'

It seemed the name 'Kuzon' would have been given to the First Prince irrespective of who he was.

'To think it would be like this, though...' Kuzon watched with a careful gaze.

He couldn't afford to get too distracted due to the nature of his enemy's power, as well as potential threat.

'It seems he also wants to kill me. I had better stay on my toes.'

With that in mind, he activated his Original Magic and coated himself with his golden electricity.

"One more question. The Variant. The one called Neron. Do you have any relation with him?"

Once Kuzon heard this, another look of surprise greeted his face.

"Why do you ask?"

"Your strange outfit. It is reminiscent of the times I saw him."

"W-well... haha..." Kuzon could feel his heart ache in humiliation.

He had nearly forgotten what he was putting on, yet this guy had to remind him of it. Regardless...

"Yes. I'm his disciple, and he is my master." He responded, eyes beaming with pride.

"Is that so...?" The First Prince spoke, his eyes narrowing in both contempt and caution. "I suppose that explains why you're strong.

'Its due to my hard work...' Kuzon wanted to say, but he refrained.

"It seems I can't show you any mercy, and—"

"Just start already. You people like to talk too much."

>WHOOOOOOOOOOSSSHHHH!!!<

In a flash, Kuzon—the rogue—closed the distance between himself and his opponents. His hand neared the prince, mere inches from making contact with his face.

But then—

>VWUUUUUUUUUMMMMMM!!!<

Another burst of golden energy surged from the opponent, pushing Kuzon away due to its sheer power.

This light pierced the heaven and shook the earth. It spread across the area, enveloping one's field of vision.

The moment Kuzon recoiled from the disruption, his eyes widened in response to the new sight that manifested before him.

"H-huh...?!"
