72 Talk

"Boom!" The fire tornado clashed with the bear and exploded
"Nice work, Sherry" Alex said, "Maybe I should try to use the sixth slash"
Alex focused his mind.
"...Fourth, Fifth slash"
"Sixth Slash"
The sword wave becomes a wind. This mark the sixth slash was a failure.
"I need more speed"
After the smoke was cleared. Alex immediately tried another sixth slash before the bear comes to his way.
But eventually, he failed once again.
The bear noticed the gust of the wind from Alex's failure. He moved toward Alex again.
"Flash Step"
Alex used his flash step to moved around. Suddenly he recalled something.
"I still had my spear don't I?"
Alex hesitated a bit about whether to use it or not. After all, his weapon was one of his highest secrets, A high-rank weapon. And the demon was still here.
Alex shook his head, "I still need to do it"
Alex jumped off to get some range between the bear. Alex then took out his Piercing sky spear. A beautiful silver colored spear comes out from the system to Alex's hand.
Alex sheathed his sword and focused on his spear.
Alex looked at the bear who already on its way toward him.
'Fleeting Step'
Alex dodged the bear easily with an unpredictable movement. While he dodging the bear's attack, he also thrust his spear to the bear.
Surprisingly, the spear was able to pierce the bear easily. Alex was surprised. He recalled when Alicia told him the story about a man who overcame the difference in rank with a weapon. Though he denied it at that time. He now becomes one of the examples of the story.
Alex shook his head, this is not the time for thinking about that. Alex focused on the bear. He had already stabbed the bear a few times, making a few holes in the bear's body. The bear's movement started to become sluggish.
After a half-hour stabbing and dodging with fleeting steps. Alex finally took down the bear. The bear body was full of holes and he died because of the continuous blood loss.
"Pant pant!" Alex was exhausted because he used the fleeting step continuously, using this technique continuously really taking tolls in his mind. Not only he needed to keep dodging, but he also needs to go to the offensive by stabbing the bear with his spear.
Alex used his spear to help him stand up.
"Wuu" The fox looking at Alex, full of concern.
Alex stroke Sherry's head, "Don't worry"
Then he turned to the demon, "Oi, the bear had already died. You can go now"
The demon then comes up, all this time, he keeps observing Alex. Looking at Alex who saved him and helps him again and again, he decided. "I want to ask you something"
"What is it?"
"You are from the Acacia Kingdom right?"
Alex nodded for his question.
"Are you sure you are able to stop this war?"
Alex thought for a moment then shook his head. "Stopping this war? I can not do that. The only thing I can do was to prevent the Acacia Kingdom from going to the war. But..."
"But?" The demon frowned.
"If the war went bad and the human was pressured to losing, Acacia might be dragged to the war. After all, we are talking about the survival of the whole race. If the two kingdoms lose, Acacia alone... sigh, though I hate to say this, Acacia alone can't protect the whole human race. If we had our strength like the past, then we might can. But now...sigh"
Then Alex continued, "That's why I want to stop this war. Aside from that, who wants to keep fighting every now and then... where your subject can't even get a good sleep because they were anxious when their home might get attacked at that moment."
After hearing Alex's answer. The demon hesitated, but he decided "My name is Zhar Dias Volmion 77th. I am the current demon lord"
Alex's eyes widened. He was speechless. What is happening right now? The random demon suddenly become the demon lord
"I...I'm sorry for kicking you too hard. Eh, wait. If I am not wrong, I only kicked your abdomen right? But where is this brain problem coming from? Is it because you crashed to the wall after I kicked you? Ugh...I'm very sorry about that. You can go, no- Please go now" Alex said hurriedly.
"Oi...! It's the truth" The demon started to angry.
"Um okay" Alex nodded.
"..." The demon was speechless, "You now accept it suddenly"
"Nothing... I just want to say that line just now" Alex laughed.
"You...!" He once again got tricked by Alex.
But suddenly Alex became solemn, "Then, Current Demon Lord what are you going to do with the war?"
"If you were I, what will you do?"
Alex was surprised. "If I were you? First, I won't ask my enemies as you did just now. Because they might think me stupid"
Now was the demon turned to be surprised. "You..."
"Haha... I'm joking" Then Alex continued "If I were you, I will make the war stagnant for a long time. If the war comes big, then the hatred will become bigger and bigger and the war involving the whole race will happen. Not only the soldier, even a weak subject of your race needed to take the weapon and participated in this war. At that time, Stopping the war would be impossible"
Zhar was also agreed with Alex's word. He nodded.
"By the way, I want to ask you, what is the objective of Zircodina in this war?"
Zhar thought for a moment, "Well you Acacia might already have this kind of resource so I might also tell you. After all, I doubt that you alone can swallow these resources."
"Hoo..." Alex was astonished. What kind of resources he talked about.
"It was a mineral mine. If Zircodina had it, they might become on par of Acacia in a few decades. Acacia already had this kind of mine though"
Alex's eyes brightened. Now he knows the reason for this war. "Zircodina..."
He recalled when he was summoned to this world. He thought that the king was a wise king and he summoned him and the others because he wanted to protect the human race. But now...
Now, Alex knows everything. Behind his wise mask, There is greed that can't be contained. He wanted the resources so he attacked the demon, but when the situation had gone wrong. He called the hero to save him from this situation. But everything changes when Maria was involved. If Maria becomes a 'Priestess', the holy kingdom will undoubtedly be involved.
Alex sighed. "Well, how are we going to do this now..."
"I see you worthy of my trust. That's why I said this much.? Haiz... If you are a demon, I might want to be a brother of you"
Alex was surprised.? Alex looked at him weirdly "Well, I'm surprised, why our relationship becomes like this. At first, you wanted to kill me but powerless to do so. Then you become like this"
"Cough...cough... That was normal if you consider our situation. But, as I said after I observed you. You are worthy of my trust" Find authorized novels in ReadNovelFull，faster updates, better experience，Please click .Com for visiting.
Alex shook his head, "Whatever"
Zhar sighed, "What do you think we should do, from a human perspective"
Alex and Zhar were in thought. After a while, Alex suddenly said "Demi-human"
Zhar was surprised by what Alex said, "You mean to involve the demi-human as a third party to stop this war?"
Alex nodded.
"Well, that might be possible but... demi-human alone might not be able to stop this war" Zhar said sadly.
"How about if our Acacia also involved?"
Zhar's eyes brightened. "That's right. If you two joined, the war can be stopped"
Alex smiled, but he frowned when he saw Zhar suddenly frowned.
"But..." Zhar was in thought.
"There is still one problem that you missed. It might be not possible to convince the demi-human."
"What do you mean?" Alex frowned.
"The demi-human was facing their biggest trouble at this moment. That's why when the human and the demon fight like this. There won't be any response from the demi-human."
"Biggest trouble?"
"Their world tree is dying. And there is still no solution for that"
Alex's eyes widened.
World Tree was the symbol of the demi-human. It was the most important thing for a demi-human. If the tree died, he can't imagine what will happen to the demi-human.
"How long?" Alex muttered
"3 years left" Understood his question, Zhar answered.
Alex sighed, "If it's like that...
Before Alex finished his words
"Boom!"
The cave entrance crashed once again. Alex and Zhar immediately turned to the direction. They saw a large centipede chewing the bear that Alex killed a few hours ago.
"Can't we have any peace for a moment" Alex sighed, he took out his spear again. But before he charged, he frowned.
Zhar also noticed the feeling, he grabbed Alex shoulder "Be careful"
Alex nodded.
"After this, I want to drink with you. But be careful, I felt something wrong in this centipede. I will try to support you with all I have. Though it won't be much, its better than nothing. After this long rest, my strength has recovered a bit."
Alex nodded again, he grabbed his spear and use his flash step to approach the centipede.
He arrived in front of the centipede in a flash. He then thrust his spear to its body. The spear managed to pierce the body but,
"Too swallow" Alex was shocked. Even a rank 6 bear can easily be pierced by this spear but this centipede.
The spear only managed to pierce the body a bit. The centipede noticed Alex attacked, the centipede turned its focus to Alex.
"Scree!" it roared to Alex, then launched its head to attack Alex.
Alex was surprised,? "Too Fast"
He barely guarded the attack, but the attack blew him away.
"Sky Step"
Alex used his sky step to stabilize himself in the air. Then he charged toward the centipede once again.
Alex tried to employ the same strategy as when he fought the bear.
"Fleeting Step"
Alex dodged the attacks from the centipede. But only barely, Alex can't even let out an attack because of the continuous attack from the centipede. ?The centipede can use its body nimbly, releasing attacks from its body. That's why even with Alex's fleeting step, he can only barely dodging all these attacks.
