Chapter 986: Zon's Struggle
Zon had energized two red blades in his hand, and the ragged cloth that was covering his body seemingly disintegrated, revealing the hardened black suit he was wearing on his body. It was no time to keep up appearances.
Zon didn't care who saw him on the island, because the only important matter was getting the item.
"Beatrix, focus on defensive maneuvers, I'll focus on attack!" Ricar said with urgency in his voice.
Usually, he wouldn't dare to command a high-level warrior, especially one that was skillful enough to earn the rank of an Elder, but in the current situation they were in, he had a really bad feeling about their opponent, and doing things this way might be the only way they could survive.
Placing one hand over his sword, Ricar's weapon started to light up, and he charged forward, thrusting the weapon. Zon avoided the attack with ease, moving to the side and allowing it to go under his arm, but the attack didn't stop there.
After the thrust, a bright white light shone in the area. The attack was filled with Qi and had the effect to blind one's opponent.
"That doesn't work on me!" Zon said as he swung his sword right for Ricar's head. Before it reached, Beatrix swung her sword upward, performing the Crescent Moon Block. It had knocked both of Zon's swords surprisingly well.
Usually, she would follow up with another attack, but she hadn't done so, focusing on what Ricar had asked, for her to focus on defense. She felt like it was a good thing as well, as Ricar and herself retreated slightly back. She could see that Zon's eyes were looking straight at her, as if he was ready for her next move.
"Is this person even human?" Ricar asked. "How was he not blinded, and was still able to throw an attack? This is the first time something like this has happened."
"So you believe you and Alter are the only ones that have good intentions for such an item?" Zon asked. "Do you truly believe the words that are coming out of your mouth? You have teamed up with the ones who wishes the downfall of Pagna."
"But your faction has been so caught up in not losing against the Dark and Demonic Faction that you can't even see it. Right now, only the Light Faction is an enemy of Pagna. You are the only ones that are going against the flow."
Although the exchange had been small, and Ricar and Beatrix still hadn't fought with every last fiber they had, they felt like this was a fight they would lose, because it was the same for their opponent-he hadn't been pushed to his limit either.
'How... how is it that the Dark Faction managed to find someone so powerful and have them by their side?'
Immediately though, Zon had turned his head as he saw a giant serpent appear from the nearby river. It was dark green in color, and as it opened its mouth, strange gills looked to appear by the side, spreading out and vibrating widely.
Before they knew it, the giant serpent dived, heading straight for Zon and hitting him directly in his body, pushing him away.
"Let's get out of here, head up by the waterfall now!" Ricar shouted.
Beatrix agreed, and the two of them used all of their Qi to move as fast as possible. The beast seemed powerful, so they knew it might keep the man busy for a while. Some might have thought it was a chance to get rid of a powerful enemy, but the beast was a beast and wasn't working for them-it just happened to help them out in this current situation.
While running though, and escaping the area, Beatrix did have a strange thought running through her head.
'There was a lot of truth to what that man said though... we don't even know what we're getting. What if bringing this item to Alter really does harm all of Pagna...?' she thought.
