The Princess And The Lord

The gust of wind swept the dust to the air and wrecked the villagers' houses and the impact of the battles could be felt from miles away but one thing Arthea noticed was that even though Lazarus had turned into a snake and fought fiercely against his brother but not once did he attack her even though she was standing in the open.

Perhaps Lazarus is not completely gone mad yet, maybe there's still a chance to knock some sense on him, Arthea then scream "Lazarus stop, STOP FIGHTING!"

Lazarus ignored Arthea's screams as the battle grew fierce sending extreme tremors to the ground he found it hard to stand still, meanwhile, Cavio was overwhelmed by Lazarus' attacks it seemed his strength had increased significantly in only a couple of months now he wondered if his brother could win against Lazarus at all, at this moment Arthea did not sure which side she takes.

Arthea couldn't stay idle, she rushed to where they were fighting even though it was not easy due to a strong gust of wind that was like a sharp knife scratching her skin, Arthea created a barrier around her while exerting her strength to dispel the wind and bits of rock and tree branches that rained down on her.

"Lazarus stops it, I'll come with you, if that's what you want, I'll come with you, I promise!" Arthea cried.

Cavio saw Arthea approaching he waved his hand frantically "Thea stay away from here!" he shouted frantically.

"Lazarus, listen to me!" Arthea pleaded, she didn't want anyone to get hurt she should have done this from the beginning so no one would get hurt, all of this was her fault.

"LIAR!" Lazarus throws his fit all of a sudden a giant boulder covered with black smoke fall on top of Arthea.

"Thea!" Cavio left Lazarus and then rushed toward Arthea at lightning speed he swing his sword at the boulder before it touch Arthea and the boulder broke in pieces.

Arthea widened her eyes in bewilderment "Cavi...?"

Exasperated, Cavio scolded Arthea for being so stubborn "Idiot, you have to get out of here! He's not the same person you think he is, he...." Cavio suddenly stood still like a statue.

"Cavi?" arthea looked at him confused then her eyes widened seeing sharp black metal penetrate Cavio's stomach and his blood seeped from his clothes and dripped onto the ground, "Nooo!!" Arthea shrieked in fear.

Cavio clenched his fist suddenly from above a big sword dropped from the sky then smashed the black metal then Cavio then took the sword then made a wide sweep that shattered the rest of the metal.

Using enormous power while gravely injured made his condition drastically weaken he almost fell if not for Arthea hurriedly supporting him.

"Cavi your wound!" Arthea looked worriedly at the fresh blood pouring out non-stop from his wound. Arthea knew Cavio's wound was not small.

Then, a gigantic black snake hovered above them like a thick shadow that shrouded them in darkness.

"Lazarus....stop this, I'm begging you"

Lazarus' yellow eyes flashed in the darkness he hissed in a chilling voice that made chills and goosebumps "No, I can sssee now the ssstrong bond between you and thisss world and that is because of your bond with your brother as long as your brother is ssstill around you will never be willing to be with me, one day - someday you will leave me again therefore only by getting rid of your brother you will truly be mine!"

"No, Lazarus doesn't do that, I won't leave you again, I promise you this time, believe me!" Arthea pleads desperately.

"Okay, I believe in you..." Lazarus's voice turns gentle.

Arthea squints her eyes she didn't think Lazarus will listen to her, but suddenly Lazarus' eyes glint dangerously then he roars.

"Only after I killed your brother!"

The black smoke turned into sharp metals that aimed at Cavio, but Arthea refused to let her brother die just like that, immediately she stood in front of Cavio while spreading her arms to create a protective barrier but unfortunately it was destroyed by Lazarus' strong attack.

'THEA!' the scream of the little boy suddenly rang loudly.

Arthea nervously opened her eyes and was surprised all of the sharp metal suddenly stopped just a few meters away from her and in front of her stood a small boy raising his hand to stop Lazarus' attack.

"You...you are Zian? but how could it be?" Arthea gasped in disbelief.

"Thea, I cannot hold him any longer, hurry!" Zian screamed urgently.

"Damn you, how could you betray yourself! ME!" Lazarus went wild with rage when his entire attack was stopped by Zian.

"You think you can stop me, I will destroy this world and everything in it!" he spat out his anger then his huge body spun in a circle soon appear another black hole from the sky, and from there came hundreds of scary-looking monsters flooding their world.

"Damn, I can't believe he brought his minions to this world!" Zian was shocked beyond belief.

"We can let this happen..." Cavio winced in pain as he forced himself to stand up.

"He really wants to destroy our world...why?" Arthea's voice trailed off as she saw the monsters invade her world.

"Thea you hold the monster while I handle that big snake!" Cavio tore his sleeve and then wrapped tightly around his wounds.

Arthea shook her head anxiously, "Wait a minute Cavio, you can't possibly win against Lazarus, especially with injuries like this..."

"Thea listens to me, just this once...please" He squeezes Arthea's shoulder.

Arthea gave up, she reluctantly agreed "Okay..."

"Your brother was right Thea he's the only one who can stop him now but he can't kill Lazarus not after he becomes a fallen God," Zian said.

Cavio frowned "Then what should I do?"

"There is a complicated rule, I don't have time to explain it, all I can say is that you can lock Lazarus thousands of miles underground with the power  of the Seven Gods Sword!" Zian hurriedly explained as he felt his strength weaken.

"Okay, let's do this!" Cavio clenched his grip on his sword he knew they running out of time.

"Careful Cavi!" Arthea reminded him.

"You too, sister!" Cavio winked.

Arthea took a moment to look at her brother one more time than a smile spread across her face, Arthea then rushed to a high place spreading her arms before thousands of fireflies flew up from behind her then turned into small flames the moment the fire got in contact with the monsters the fire lit up like a torch and with a twist of her hand the firefly flew in circle forcing the monsters into the center of the field then the got smaller and smaller the firefly flew in high speed that it looked like a ring of fire that caged the whole monster.

Arthea's actions angered Lazarus once again he felt wronged and betrayed, Lazarus then repeatedly cursed her. It didn't seem like it would take long for Lazarus to eventually lose his temper with Arthea.

Meantime, Zian glanced at the cloth around cavio's wound which was covered in blood.

"I...want to warn you, if you wield the seven god's swords in your state, you will most likely be..." Zian clamped his mouth he didn't dare to say the last word.

The truth is, he didn't care about cavio's well-being cause he more or less had the same opinion as Lazarus about Cavio, however, unlike Lazarus he care about Arthea's happiness, he also scared of how Arthea reacted when she lost her only brother. Because of this contradiction, Lazarus pushed him out because he felt Zian was hindering him from his goal.

Cavio looked at Zian curiously "Are you a friend of Thea and Lazarus?"

Zian hesitated but he didn't want to lie to Arthea's brother,  "I am...part of Lazarus, you can say I am one of his personality once he got rid of me I took a shape that suits my personality...but, I am indeed Thea's friend!" he reassured Cavio.

"Well... that sounds complicated, but, anyway...if something happens to me, I need you to promise me to take care of Thea"

Cavio stare with those glittering purple eyes that remind him of Arthea's eyes the first time they met, Zian suddenly stricken with sadness and guilt weakly nodded, "I promise..."
