HE'S NOT HUMAN
CHAPTER 28 (Bag. 1)
When Levi and Agnor had already flown in for information, Arzeus approached the corpses of the servant women. He searches for any information that remains in their memory before it is completely lost.
Arro's eyes follow Arzeus's movements moving from one woman to another. Upon reaching the fourth woman, Arzeus widened his eyes with a surprised look. “Your Majesty, I know who brought the Queen ... the man from Adena's residence.”
“Track him now!” arro's orders were firm.
“Good, Your Highness.”
Arzeus immediately flew to Adena's residence in the Aelios Kingdom to find out what had happened.
The house had been destroyed, there was no trace of Adena or her husband. Arzeus was at a dead end. He immediately returned to the Kingdom Headquarters to report.
Arriving at the meeting room, Arzeus saw that Levi and Agnor were already there.
“How?” ask Arro.
“Their house has been destroyed and I have found no trace of them both, Your Majesty.”
The wrathful Arro made his way towards Arzeus quickly. Then pull Arzeus' neck up, “You brought us to meet them. Did you plan this?”
Arzeus tried to keep breathing, while trying to breathe air between Arro's grip on his neck. “I ... no ... maybe .. dare ...,” replied Arzeus stammeringly.
“Your Majesty!” exclamation Levi. “This is not his fault.” Levi held Arro's hand which still strangled Arzeus' neck.
Arro threw down Arzeus. “Agnor, search Ardios even to the world of death once.”
Agnor was about to speak, but the sound from the direction of the meeting room door distracted them.
“Yang Mulia ..” Damian's weak voice sounded. He stood on the doorstep with Jasmine beside him, though he could not stand up straight yet and still held onto the wound that Jasmine had bandaged. “Ardios will not exist in the world of death, I know where he is,” he continued.
Damian slightly coughed before continuing his sentence, “before Ardios' last attack, I had a chance to smell something strange. At first I was not sure where the smell came from. But when it hit Ardios' body I was sure the smell was coming from his body. The smell comes from the flower Eryngium.”
“Eryngium flowers are pungent smelling plants that are used as materials to create rare black magic. Since black magic is strictly forbidden in the Upper World, this plant is almost non-existent in any royal territory,” obviously Jasmine takes over the attention of those there.
“What do you want to say?” asked Arro impatiently. Every second was precious to him.
The doubtful Jasmine glanced towards Levi asking for help. Levi, who noticed his pragma was frightened, approached Jasmine and gave a small nod, as a sign that Levi would protect her.
“Dia .. is Ardios.” Jasmine's index finger lifted up, pointing at a soldier who was standing beside the entrance.
“You used a form-substitute black magic with Eryngium flowers!” yelled Jasmine accusingly.
The soldier who had been silent, now grinned. “Should have, you didn't have to interfere.” That voice ... is the true voice of Ardios.
After listening to that answer, Levi immediately directed the other soldiers to capture Ardios. While Jasmine had already dashed back, away from whatever was about to happen.
Ardios immediately threw an attack to take down all the approaching soldiers. It was very easy for him to kill those weak soldiers.
Agnor took the opportunity, she immediately launched the first attack. He raised his staff high. A sharp light gathered at the end of the stick. Before Ardius could return to his black mist, Agnor had already floated the staff. A flash of light rushed past and struck the body in front of him violently.
Ardios held his chest that was hit by the attack. It was a great attack from Agnor, but Ardios was still able to stand firm. Agnor was aghast, while Ardios was already smiling widely. “You think that little attack can beat me?”
Levi had already taken the plunge to attack. But, Arro held him back, Levi had not been able to bring out any strength, Ardios was a tough opponent for him. He could have been seriously injured before Ardios was scratched.
Arro raised one finger, then pointed at Ardios in front of him. Ardios who was unprepared, was shocked when he felt an extremely violent urge. His body hit the wall behind him until it was shapelessly destroyed. Whatisthis? is this the only power from his index finger?
Arro's eyes turned red. A turbulent energy filled the room. The wind rippled violently as Arro stepped closer to Ardios. Ardios who started to panic tried to launch his attack. He raised his hand, then said something that was not a spell of angelic power.
Waves of fire emerged from his palm. The tongue of the fire licked everything that came into contact with it. “Burn!” yelled Ardios nyalang. Arro who saw the brutal movement of the flame tongue, as much as possible avoided.
Agnor could not stay silent seeing Arro in trouble. Agnor again raised her wand, then pointed straight towards Ardios, “extinguish all those who brought damage!” a flash of light came back out from the end of his wand. Succeeds. The flames have shrunk but not yet extinguished.
Seeing the flames shrink, Ardios added his hand and did the same, releasing a great and burning fire.
Arro had seen enough of Ardios trying to harm him. Arro raised his finger again, made a twisting motion, closed his eyes, then took a deep breath. A large white light clumped there. As he felt the force push getting bigger, Arro opened his eyes with a straight and sharp look.
The light was flung fast and gave rise to a glowing wave. The floor on which they stood shook violently. When the light was thrown, the floor through which the light passed cracked and split as it was unable to sustain the huge energy.
Ardios's eyes widened as the light waves managed to extinguish the flames coming out of his palm. He wanted to avoid it but it was too late. He was again thrown far back, but this time he could no longer wake up. Ardius spewed blood from his mouth. His nose and ears also drain the concentrated liquid. His form has returned. The face and body of Ardios.
The power is very strong, he should have launched an action before Arro did his blessing. Ardios who was already lying weakly bleeding heavily could only see Arro, Levi, Agnor and Arzeus standing around him.
When he knew his death would come, Arzeus still had a mocking laugh, “you will never be able to fight Argus. He is much stronger.” Ardios again coughed violently with blood. “Argus, already ... binding agreement .. with ... King of darkness.”
The last sentence of Ardios was enough to make them flinch. Arzeus immediately sat down beside Ardios' corpse and read Ardios's memory. Everyone, he tried to see everything. Before it completely disappears.
