27 CHAPTER 27: Youre so evil hero (1/2)

Meanwhile, at another area, there was a mass grave of fresh corpses of bloodied warriors and ruptured knights in blue penetrated through their stomachs along the battlefield of the greenish plains. The whole area was slathered and painted in crimson red. The bloody war was finished and Nassus was the only one victorious. Rather, all of his enemies had fallen over his immense capabilities and power. He was treading along the en masse of dead fighters trailing out blood puddles in his wake. His dark claw was seeping out immense crimson blood due to the numbers of slayed and regurgitated enemies. He noticed there was still one in his last dying breath looking at him and the knight said,

”Who...are...you?”.

Nassus went near him and replies,

”Nassus...just a hero passing through...”.

The warrior replies before it dies,

”He...ro...”.

As Nassus heard that alarming word, he was in his thoughts afterwards, reaching his very reason upon coming to this world, while he wore a cold determined look on his face,

(”Yes...A hero who will get his hands dirtied...for a Goddess...”)

(”I wonder where you are now...”)

(”Mai...”).

On the other hand, in a different place where there were dark skies above. Outside the nice-looking home and farm, Zeran was fighting his former companion, Cyron for some reason, while the pouring endless rain and frequent thunderstorms were at large, amplifying the intensity of the cold burning atmosphere of the battling Zeran and Cyron.

Cyron had a younger appearance compared to Zeran. Cyron was a tad bit shorter than Zeran but, Cyron was looking smarter than Zeran, with his eyeglasses. Cyron was wielding two daggers such as he looked like an assasin even though he wasn't. He has black hair same as Gav, but he was more gentle and kinder than him. Though, he looked more serious, as the two were brothers in blood.

Their battle wasn't a friendly fight rather, it was a duel to the death, due to some circumstances that Zeran was after. Intense lightnings were glaring at them with howling wind uttering its immense chaos. Cyron was staring with a dark chilling look to Zeran. Zeran tried to dish out another thrust with his claw but, Cyron parried it with his dancing dual edges. Soon, Cyron uttered out his words filled with agony,

”I know my brother Gav is kinda vile...”

”But that doesn't mean you can just kill him...”.

”Tell me Zen...what's gotten into you?”

”Why did you suddenly become EVIL?”.

Zeran replies,

”None of your damn business...”

”Besides I'm just after the artifacts...”

”So just hand it over already...”

”Or else...you don't know what'll happen to...her...”.

He shut his eyes afterwards, proving something very cold and composed in his look. That sudden moment, there was a wrathful thunder that reverberated around the whole place. Cyron saw a flash of glaring light from the stormy sky. Though, as soon as he regained his vision, at the very side, he saw his beautiful wife was being held hostage by the foxy Ru. Ru was wearing an evil grin and she was pointing out a knife to the woman's neck as if threatening her dear life and proving her as hostage. The air became dense and chilling afterwards. He had lost all of his fighting spirit and his hands lost its eagerness to fight, making him to drop his weapons. There was another struck of lightning and roaring thunder adding to the demise and doom for him. His face looked scarred and seeped into a silent shock, as he saw his beautiful wife was being held hostage. Sooner or later, he gritted his teeth and says out of the blue with tears falling from his cheeks,

”Sheena...”

”Why of all people...WHY HER ZEN!”

”Alright...I'll hand over the artifact...”

”Just promise me...you'll let her go...”.

Sheena had an appearance of a flawless beautiful angel. Her hair was wavy but combed in seagreen flowing waters. She has deep blue eyes and facial appearance such as an expressive adorable doll, that would please any man's desire who are into beauty and cuteness. Her clothes were the apron and undergarments of any passionate wife. She was the very loving wife of Cyron and she wasn't abused like how Gav treated his wives. Rather, she was treated with a cup full of love, respect and loyalty by Cyron.

As Sheena heard her husband's words, it made her to feel a deep sense of worry, especially to the world they live-in for some reason. Even though, her life was at stake. Then, she exclaims with grave recklessness,

”NO...don't do this...my Cyron...”

”You'll doom everyone...and don't worry about me...”

”The world is more important than me...”.

While Zeran heard Sheena's selfless words, he opened his eyes again and sighed with a huge burden in his look. He felt another disturbance in his thoughts, trying to fix Sheena's flawed decisions, although he just hidden it inside of him,

(”Okay...now this is unsettling...”)

(”And...no you're wrong Sheena...since Ru told me, those artifacts are just her sentimental things...those aren't some kind of weapon of destruction...”)

(”And yes..I believe in her words...even if she's the dark Goddess...”)

(”And geez...woman...don't throw your life away...do you even remember the times when Cyron saved you and slapped you of your bent mindset in life?”)

(”That's how much he cares about you...”).

Cyron knacked out a smile but, with a hint of hopelessness in his eyes. He knelt down on the ground, while he was looking at the frightened Sheena. His eyes was seeing Sheena telling him to say no to Zeran's demands. Though, Cyron was already convinced with his decision. He brought out a very small portable lamp that radiates blue glistening and calming stars around its area, in which it was the lamp of essence that Zeran and Ru were eager to find. Moreover, Cyron released his sorrowful words, begging his utter plea,

”The world huh...I don't care about that anymore...”

”Tsk...Zen...here's the lamp...and please let go of Sheena...”

”Please Goddess Ru...I beg of you...”.

Zeran took the lamp of essence from Cyron. Though, Cyron's words made Zeran to be surprised in his thoughts afterwards,

(”So he knows she's the Goddess Ru...”).

As Ru heard the poor husband's plea, she whispered unto Sheena's ear with a soothing voice, although there was no ounce of threat deep within, rather it was an advice in life, despite the nature of a dark Goddess,
