chapter eighty five
The roar of the spectators thunderd with the two fighters looking at each other. Zeuxis was tired and the thought of ending the fight quickly was everything he could think about. Kael was equally tired by then, Zeuxis was a good fighter. He needed a good blow, a weak spot to end this quickly. Kael’s breath rattled in his chest, ragged, broken, desperate. His sword trembled in his hand, not from fear but from the weight of the energy passing through his veins. His vision flickered between reality and crimson haze. The blood in the sand looked like oceans, and in the center of it stood Zeuxis.“DEATH!” King Almond’s voice cracked through the arena, feeding the frenzy of the crowd. The chant shifted again, the sound of thousands stomping their feet and crying out as one. “Kill! Kill! Kill!”Zeuxis’s grin returned, savage, blood staining his teeth. He pressed his palm against the cut across his chest, smearing the blood across his skin like war paint. “You finally drew my blood. But n

Kael's gaze met with Real's, He could see how pissed off he was Kael’s chest heaved, each breath felt tougher as his gaze locked with his opponent. His grip on the sword was loose, almost fragile, yet his eyes remained razor-sharp. The roar of the spectators was rather annoying. Kael could barely focus. The injury the assassin had inflicted on him was still painful. He felt sore and knew he had to end the fight in time. Zeuxis circled him like a predator testing its prey, blade gleaming with every turn.“Pathetic,” Zeuxis spat, dragging the edge of his weapon across the sand. Sparks hissed in the air as steel kissed stone. “You came back from death for this? To stand like a coward in front of your people? You should have stayed dead, dude." The crowd roared with laughter, echoing his taunt.Kael still didn’t move. His silence made the air heavier, his calm more unsettling than any counterattack.Up in the balcony, King Almond’s eyes narrowed. He leaned on his staff, lips curling

The gong struck outside, its deep vibration shaking the hall to its very foundations. The crowd roared, a wild chorus that carried through the stone walls like a storm begging to be unleashed.The air inside the chamber grew heavier. Each elder looked uneasy in their seat, yet none dared to question the king’s decree.Commander Rael’s jaw tightened. He bent slightly, whispering close to Kael’s ear.“You’re not ready for this. You can barely stand, let alone fight.”Kael’s lips curled into a faint, defiant smile. “If I don’t stand today, I will never stand again. Don’t you see, Rael? They won’t let me live in peace. If I back down, I’ll be hunted until the end of my days.”Rael’s eyes softened. “Then let me fight in your place.”Kael chuckled, even though his chest ached with every breath. “If you fight, Rael, they’ll call it mercy. If I fight, they’ll call it fate.”Before Rael could argue, Zeuxis strode across the floor, his boots clapping against the polished stone. His eyes burned

The hall went dead silent. No one talked, no one moved. The rasping breath of Kael was the only thing that was heard. Commander Rael could barely believe it. He had witnessed Kael dead for two days. No movement, no dull breathing. Just dead. Zeuxis folded his hand a little; his eyebrows were slightly arched. Dareth stood up from his seat to have a clear vision of what was going on. King Almond looked at Rael expecting an explanation, but he himself didn't have an explanation for what just happened. It has never happened before. He is a dead man coming back to life. Elira got up, coughed slightly, his gaze locked on Kael, who was still on the floor breathing slowly. "He was never dead. "His Hakana never left his body," she said, slowly walking out of her seat. "Are you saying his Hakana kept him alive?" one of the elders asked. Elira stopped dead in her tracks and turned slightly. "He is special. The dark Hakana inside of him might be dormant, but that doesn't mean he cannot b

The hall was silent, but the silence was not peace. Everyone was eager, anticipating to hear the words that were going to come out of Dareth's mouth, and Rael was equally anticipating. His hand was slightly clenched on the top of his sword. Zeuxis saw reheated tension and slightly walked back, trying to avoid the bloodbath. Dareth’s lips twitched into a small smirk, though his eyes glimmered with fury. He stepped closer to Rael, their noses almost touching. “Careful with your words, Commander. Accusations without proof are nothing more than barking.”Rael’s hand pressed harder against the hilt of his sword. The scrape of steel nearly sang through the air as he half-drew the blade. His voice cracked like lightning. “Then let me prove it by cutting the truth from your throat!”“Stop!” Elder Greyworm’s voice thundered louder than both men combined. The old man’s staff slammed the ground, and an unnatural vibration spread through the marble floor. The runes carved into his staff flicker

The hall was deafening. Not a word was spoken as all the elders kept a grim look at each other. Most were eager to see the fight between the two teenagers, while some were weary and wondered how a boy who had vowed not to touch a sword had died. "What is this madness? You had him kept away for what? You killed him?" Almond barked, stamping his staff to the ground. The courtroomwent into a frenzy mode, with each elder clamoring for Real's head. Meanwhile, Dareth sat in the corner of the room with a smile on his face. Zeuxis sat right by his side beaming with a smile. "Well, I don't see a need for this!" his voice thundered through the rowdy hall. "If he is dead, then why does anyone need to cry over this?""He is the savior of this kingdom, and if he is truly dead, boy. God help us." One of the chief elders said with a sorrowful face. "Did you just call me boy?" Zeuxis said in anger, his face squeezed."Silence!" King Almond roared, banging his staff to the ground the second time.
