Skeleton King charged towards Ziel while swinging his big ax. When the ax almost hit him, Ziel dodged with minimal movement and cut off the Skeleton King's hand which was only bone. Even though his hand was cut off, the Skeleton King punched Ziel with his other hand. This time Ziel didn't dodge, he swung his greatsword which he had compressed with mana and aura towards the Skeleton King's fist. Ziel's sword and the Skeleton King's fist collided and generated shockwaves in the surroundings.

Boooooooommmmmm...

Crack...

Small cracks formed in the Skeleton King's hand, then his hand shattered into pieces.. Ziel swung his sword again and slashed it apart. The Skeleton King's upper and lower bodies were split apart by him. Ziel knew that it wasn't over yet. The Skeleton King's separated body suddenly returned to one, as well as his severed and shattered hand back to its original state.

"Haha... Skeleton King won't lose with just an attack like that. Even if you cut him into small pieces he won't die." The evil spirit who saw it laughed and sneered at Ziel.

"I know... If it goes on like this it's going to take a lot of time. It'll be morning soon. So I'll end you guys together." Ziel compressed his aura and mana into the sword. The sword was red from the heat and there were more cracks than before due to the excessive compression. A thick blade aura with gray color was created.

"What!? Skeleton King quickly retreat!!" The evil spirit felt terror from the power emitted by the sword that Ziel was holding. He and the Skeleton King immediately made a stacked barrier to block Ziel's attack because he felt that they would not have time to dodge it.

Ziel raised his sword but the sword shattered into pieces as it could no longer withstand the compression of his mana and aura. Even so, the blade aura is still there. He swung his shattered sword towards the evil spirit and the blade aura was slashed out with incredible speed. The blade aura and the evil spirit's barrier collided.

[Orbit Slash]

Crack...

The barrier couldn't even last for 1 second. The evil spirit and Skeleton King who were silent in shock were hit by a heavy attack from the aura blade.

Boooooooommmmmm...

The place that was like a throne room shook violently from Ziel's attack. A large path of scars was engraved into the ground along the room until it penetrated the cave wall. As if the cave is divided into 2 parts separated by a small ravine. The existence of the evil spirit and skeleton king vanished without a trace being swallowed by the aura blade.

Currently, Ziel silently looking at the hole in the cave wall due to his slash. He narrowed his eyes at the room behind the cave wall. He walked into the room and suddenly he stopped after seeing what was there. The room was very spacious and there were many large tubes filled with liquid lined up. The number may reach hundreds or even thousands. And in each of those tubes, there were humans... No, maybe they couldn't be called humans anymore. They are more appropriately called human chimeras.

Their circumstances are different, some have their body parts exchanged for beast, some have their body transformed like becoming strange creatures after being injected with beast DNA or other races and some have become monsters so it can't be recognized whether they are human or other races. Because apart from humans, Ziel can see some elves, dwarves and demons are also in the tube having the same fate.

"It turns out that this organization also has something to do with The Fallen Gods. What exactly are they planning?" Ziel was suspicious of what The Fallen Gods were doing. Because as far as he knew in this era, The Fallen Gods never showed themselves. And even their existence could be called a myth.

Ziel could see several people in the tube looking at Ziel and saying something. One of them was a little girl with short red hair and big brown eyes who looked very cute. But his lower body was no longer a human, but a spider. Ziel couldn't hear her but could tell what she was saying from the movement of her lips.

PLEASE...KILL...ME...

He understood why they said that. With their bodies and minds that are no longer human. They are no longer themselves when they have become the object of an experiment by inhumane people. The pain they feel is not only in their physical but also in their minds.

Ziel didn't feel sorry or sad seeing their plight, or he was angry because they were treated cruelly and unfairly. Currently, Ziel is no longer a hero, and will never be like that again. But this time he would grant the wishes of the people in front of him.

"I will grant your wish. Think of it as fate because you and I can meet. Although I don't believe it." Ziel mumbled softly then 9 magic seals formed on his body. The magic seal is a mutation of the combined magic circle and aura seal that Ziel released when he first stabilized the seal. 2 dragons circling the magic circle appeared on his body.

Outside the cave, the previously bright and starry weather suddenly turned into a thunderstorm. Maybe no one pays much attention to it because Ziel keeps changes to natural phenomena to a minimum. Only nearby residents could notice it.

[Sign Expulsion]

There was a deep voice from Ziel, thousands of magic circles were created instantly, and each tube had 1 magic circle on it. Gray light shot out of the magic circle and enveloped the tube.

Before the tube was completely enveloped by the gray light, Ziel saw the little girl in the tube who had previously asked him for help. At this moment she smiled sweetly and from the movement of his lips, Ziel could tell what she was saying.

...THANK YOU...

An incredible sight could be seen when the entire magic circle activated simultaneously. After the gray light disappeared, all the tubes in the room disappeared as well. Not shattered or turned into dust, but Ziel completely erased the existence of the entire tube and the experimental object in it.

Ziel silently looking at the currently empty room. He didn't know why, tears were running down his cheeks. He took off his mask and wiped his tears.

"Why am I shedding tears?" Ziel is confused because he shouldn't be able to feel anything due to Azael's curse. But right now he was shedding tears because of the events in front of him.

"Is it possible?" Ziel suddenly thought of a possibility. But he immediately shook his head and pushed the thought away.

"Even if it was possible it wouldn't be that easy." He then walked out of the cave and disappeared into the depths of the forest.

***

Not long after Ziel disappeared tens of Neigal Kingdom soldiers came the fourth. They were led by a middle-aged man with a bald head and beard. He wore black armor and carried a large sword and shield on his back.

He was Egil Valther, the General of the current Neigal Kingdom. His strength was at the level of a sword king and was on par with General Farold Walmond of the Argaint Kingdom.

Currently, General Egil and his soldiers are in front of the cave where Caldeon is hiding. King Jonathan received reports of a sudden thunderstorm in the forest near the border with the Alba Mountain Range. He was currently preparing to hold a virtual meeting with the other 4 kings. That's why he sent General Egil to check it out.

"This is where the previous thunderstorm occurred. But what is this? Cave? Was there a cave before?" General Egil was suspicious of the cave in front of him.

"Check what's inside!?" General Egil ordered his soldiers to enter the cave. And he followed them from behind. After checking for more than 15 minutes. a soldier ran to general Egil in a hurry.

"General! I found a room that looked like there had been a battle before." The soldier immediately reported to General Egil.

"What!? Take me there!" The soldier ran to where Ziel and Caldeon previously fought.

When General Egil came in and saw the condition of the room, he was astonished. He was sweating from his forehead. He saw the path of a large scar on the ground through to the cave wall. He knew very well that it was a slashing mark of a sword with extraordinary power.

"What kind of battle has happened here?" General Egil muttered in a slightly trembling voice. Then he saw a hole in the wall of the cave. There he saw another room that looked very spacious. He immediately ran over to check it out. But what he saw was an empty airy space.

"No, if this place was hidden there must have been something important beforehand. I must report this to His Majesty immediately." He gathered all the soldiers he brought with him.

"Some soldiers will be on guard here! Keep on searching, if you find any clues report to me later. I will return to the castle first to report this matter to His Majesty." General Egil divides the duties to the soldiers.

"Yes General!" After hearing the answers of the soldiers, General Egil left the place and headed towards the Neigal Kingdom castle at full speed.
