Elrad : King of the Eastern Land

Chapter 12 : "Difference"

It is about to start, the battle between the Bastions and De'Wa. The atmosphere changed as the win blows and the branches of those trees nearby are dancing on a tune that only De'Wa can hear. She is smiling and an excitement on her face can be seen.

"Remember in our training! Capture her just like a wild boar!" Chad shouted as he boost the moral of his comrades.

The leaves are falling and the bushes are swaying. De'Wa suddenly dashes as she is heading towards John.

"She is heading towards John! She knows who to target first! John is already weaken because of the incantation he used a while ago! John!" Chad then exclaimed. The Bastions can't react that fast to help their comrade, De'Wa is much more faster than them. The moment John noticed that De'Wa is heading towards him, he immediately prepared to cast again an incantation.

"Incantation...." but before John finish his incantation, De'Wa was already in front of him, with her fist he punched John right to his face with a very strong stroke of fist. A strong blow that cause John to flew away and hit on the nearby trees, causing several tree stems to be destroyed by the impact.

"John!!!" Chad shouted as he saw his comrade flew away but the punch De'Wa made.

"She... she is fast! damn it!" Andrew said with surprise and anxiety.

"You bastard woman!" Chad shouted disrespectfully as he bend his knees like he is sitting then said;

"Physical Enhancement: Speed!" on a brief moment the speed of Chad greatly increased, as he dashes with a great speed to reach the position of De'Wa, while he is on the mid air, he fearlessly hold his two swords and strike De'Wa from behind.

"Take this you criminal!" as Chad swings his swords, De'Wa seems to banished and disappeared instantly in front of Chad. Chad was greatly surprised and can't believed.

"How could she... Wait... NO! Andrew watch out!" Chad then realizes that De'Wa is heading now to Andrew.

"I got this!" Andrew response, as he take a stance and is about to strike De'Wa with his sword.

"I will put you down!" Andrew scream with fear and anger on his face as he strikes De'Wa who is already right now in front of him.

*dodged* "She reacted real quick, I am done" Andrew thought to him self.

De'Wa punched Andrew right directly to his chest where the heart is located. A blood came out of his mouth as he received the blow.

"Whaaaa.. what!? That is... ackhhh!" Andrew thought of this words as it seems he was familiar with that kind of blow.

Andrew fall on to his knees, as he is shaking and cant move, as the blood continue to came of from his blood he said;

"That technique.. where did you learned that? you know where to disable a man..." as Andrew loses his consciousness, he fainted and fall on the ground. De'Wa then just stand in front of him.

"Damn it! Don't engage with her!" Chad shouted with anger and worries. Janzen and Alvinn followed the order of Chad. They move closer to Chad and stand beside him.

"This is bad, we underestimated her." Alvinn said.

"Chad, she is a Celestial." with a worried voice Janzen said.

"I want you two to go get John and Andrew. I can't afford that there will be another one of us that will fall." Chad said as he ordered to retrieve John and Andrew who are fainted and lying on the ground.

*thump thump* De'Wa walk and is heading to where he left her weapon.

"Yeah, that is right. Go grab your comrades, I don't have that much time to waste here." De'Wa said as she take her sword and wiped the dirt out of it.

"Don't show me your faces again, if you want to capture me, at least bring an entire Order, alright?" De'Wa said disrespectfully towards Chad. "You should know who is your prey, before showing your fangs" De'Wa said this words as she is about to leave.

"You swine!" Chad angrily insulted De'Wa, but De'Wa just continue to walk away.

"Chad! we already got John and Andrew!" Janzen said.

"Alright, now return to where we camped, don't worry about me. I will not put this in to waste. I will capture her no matter what it cost!" "Now go!" Chad said as Janzen and Alvinn are now heading back to their camp.

"Chad will handle it, I believe!" Alvinn said to Janzen. "Let's go! we need to hurry up and treat their wounds" Janzen response.

De'Wa just continue to walk away but Chad shouted at her and said;

"Hey! you criminal! I wont just let you turn your back and walk away! After what you have done to my comrades, you will pay!" Chad angrily shouted with a killing intent. Chad took his breath and then;

"*inhale* *exhale* FUEGO: BURNING BLADES!" Chad shouted an incantation. As his two blades are now burning and is coated with fire.

"In the name of my king, I will seize you!" Chad said this words as he is preparing to strike De'Wa with all of his strength.

"You really want to get hurt? such a fool" De'Wa then said as he hears what Chad said against her. Chad then charges towards De'Wa and dashes through mid air.

"Take this you criminal!" with all his anger he strikes De'Wa with his two burning swords.

"Dual Blaze!" Chad named the attack he made to De'Wa. The ground where De'Wa is standing was burning and a blast of flames burned the surrounding bushes and grass.

But on an instant, the face of Chad turns into frustrations and desperation, as he realize that De'Wa blocked his attack single handedly.

"She... she just.. She just blocked my attack with one hand!?" Chad is exhausted because of the attack he made, it drains a lot of his emyn.

"You are stubborn!" De'Wa then said as he held Chad with his sword who is in mid air. De'Wa then without any hesitation punches Chad directly through his abdomen, that made Chad vomit a mouthful of blood. The moment that he is about to lose his consciousness, a thought came in to his mind;

"Is this how strong the Celestials are? What kind of power does she possess?" De'Wa then rapidly threw a lot of punches as Chad was still in mid air. Blow by blow it hits Chad directly with out any miss. The moment De'Wa stop punching, Chad then fall in to the ground like a dead leaf, unconscious.

"I've warned you, but you still insist" De'Wa then said this as she walk away form the fainted body of Chad.

Chad is on the ground, fainted and covered with his own blood. As De'Wa continue to walk away, She noticed something. A dagger is heading directly towards here, aiming for his head. De'Wa then dodged it and said;

"This idiots are draining my patience!" De'Wa then turns around and saw a figure jumped out of the bushes. The figure is a man, who grabbed his weapon and swings it. A s***h is traveling towards De'Wa, De'Wa then grab her weapon and slashed through the s***h wave and it hits the surrounding trees and bushes.

Birds flew away, leaves are falling and cut trees are falling to the ground. The man who appeared and attacked De'Wa with a sword s***h is Zern Silverknight, The Supreme Knight of Estian Kingdom. He already arrived on the place where the earlier explosion happened.

"I am absolutely sure, that you are the one behind those explosion and the one who put my men in the ground"

"Base on your appearance, the descriptions about one of those bandits fits you" Zern then said, he is now talking to De'Wa. De'Wa is just standing on a distance facing the Supreme Knight, she is not moving and just listening.

"That weapon of yours, explains why you managed to this on one of my best men." Zern recognize the weapon of De'Wa, as he already got the answers on why she managed to hurt and defeat Chad. Zern continue to speak as De'Wa listens to him.

"We are not expecting a woman, you should be an Old Man"

"To be honest, this surprised me, but one thing is for sure. You are not getting away with this" Zern then speak on a threatening tone of voice.

"Drazo, take Chad and stay behind me" Zern picked up Chad as he hand him over to Josuwa Drazo. As Drazo moved away far behind the Supreme Knight, Zern then turn around as he put his sword back to his back.

"I do not know if you already noticed it, but that smile on your face tells me that you are happy. Because you are about to fight a person, who is like you." Zern then reveal that he is a Celestial Bearer.

The surroundings became quiet and the ambiance changed. Great powers will collide!
