Clara, Kyouka, and Princess Irene were shocked by the sudden appearance of Ziel in front of them. What made them even more astonished was that Ziel blocked Fornius' attack with his bare hands. Fornius' attack was so fast that even the artifact that Ziel gave to Clara and the other three girls didn't have time to activate and block the attack.
"Ken, how did you get there? Moreover, how did you manage to withstand that person's attack?" Clara still couldn't process what had happened before her eyes. King Redis and King Raghnall had a hard time withstanding Fornius' attack. But Ziel withstands the attack easily. Before Ziel could answer Clara, Fornius spoke first.
"You were the one who defeated Leviathan, weren't you? I didn't expect to meet you in person in this place. I thought you would keep hiding like a turtle." Fornius spoke in a gloomy tone. He couldn't feel Ziel's power at all. But from the way Ziel had blocked his attack earlier, Fornius could tell that he wasn't an easy opponent.
Clara was taken aback after hearing what Fornius said. Not only her, Princess irene, Kyouka, and Megumi also felt the same way. If what Fornius has said before is true, then everything Princess Cordelia has said is true.
"Ken, you..." Clara wanted to confirm Fornius' words to Ziel. But Ziel cut her off first because now is not the time to explain it to Clara.
"My lady, I know what you want to ask right now. I will explain everything after this matter is over." Ziel spoke to Clara calmly. Clara could only nod a little in response.
"Hahaha....after all this trouble is over? Do you think you can get out of this place alive? Or do you think you can beat me just because you can beat Leviathan?" Fornius was angry with Ziel's words. Fornius felt belittled by him.
"You'll know the answer in a moment." Ziel answered him indifferently. Suddenly his body distorted. His black hair slowly turned gray, and her brown eyes turned crimson.
Clara and the other girls who didn't know about Ziel's true identity were shocked and fascinated at the same time after seeing his transformation. They were shocked because they didn't think that the person who had been helping them all this time was Ziel. They could tell by the color of his hair and eyes. Other than that, they were fascinated because Ziel's face was very different from what he was before. They can't describe his figure in words because Ziel looks so divine right now.
"Ken, you are..." Clara wanted to say something to Ziel, but she finally decided not to. She remembered that Ziel had promised to explain it to her once this matter was settled. Clara could only smile a little and look at the girls around her. They didn't seem surprised by what was happening in front of them.
"Did you know about this before?" Clara looked at the girls, especially Princess Iris. She feels angry and sad when her best friend hides it from her. Princess Iris looks at Princess Freya and the other girls who know about Ziel's identity, but they turn their faces away from her and refuse to make eye contact with her.
Princess Iris feels that she has fallen into a pit alone, and no one wants to help her. She couldn't help but smile wryly at Clara's question and give a small nod.
"You! You are bad for hiding this from me!" Clara averted her eyes from Princess Iris and the girls. She looks angry and keeps her distance from them.
"Clara, I have my reasons for this matter. Okay, I'm sorry for hiding this from you. You have to listen to my explanation first, and then you can be angry with me." Princess Iris tries to persuade Clara to listen to her. But Clara wouldn't listen to her at all. Princess Iris wants to say something else to Clara, but Kalya taps her on the shoulder to stop her. Princess Iris looks at Kalya. She still wanted to keep explaining to Clara, but Kalya shook her head.
"Let her calm down first. After this problem is solved, we leave it to Ziel to explain. I'm sure Clara will understand." When faced with bigger problems, Kalya doesn't want them to argue about small things like that.
"I understand." Princess Iris sighed heavily and tried to calm herself down. What Kalya said is true. Only Ziel can calm Clara's anger. So they can only wait and look back at Ziel.
Ziel's body was shrouded in spirally swirling gray mana and aura. The two powers became one and then soared into the sky. The sky became darker. Another thundercloud formed in the sky. This time it was a thundercloud with crimson-colored lightning.
"Weren't we taught that using aura and mana simultaneously is very difficult, Kyouka? How come he can use it as easily as breathing? Is everything taught in the Rubelia Kingdom not true?" Megumi instantly realized the two lights swirling around Ziel were two different powers. But Ziel was able to put the two together without experiencing any difficulties. Megumi and the other heroes had seen Ziel fight before, but they had never seen his power up close. This was the first time they saw his transformation and the power he wielded.
"That was hard to do, Megumi. Haven't we also had an idea like that and tried it, but we didn't succeed in the end? If he can do it, maybe he's more special than us heroes." Kyouka smiled wryly at Megumi. Hikaru and the other heroes once tried to use mana and aura simultaneously. But no matter how hard and long they practiced, they still couldn't use both. So they decided to forget the idea and not waste their time on training that didn't work.
"It's not impossible if you want to be able to use aura and mana. I've tried it before, and it works with aura. However, I can't use it like I use mana. The amount of aura I can release is very little, and I can't form an aura seal either. You can imagine how impossible it would be to develop mana and aura to the same level and then combine them. That boy is like a real monster here." Princess Cordelia got into Megumi and Kyouka's conversation. She overheard what they talked about and shared her practice experience with them.
"Eh? Is it that difficult? We heroes can't even do it, but he can. Who exactly is he?" Kyouka narrowed her eyes at Ziel. At this moment, Ziel's entire body is enveloped in the gray light, and red lightning sparks around him.
The golden lightning and red lightning flashed against each other and collided in the sky. But the golden lightning shattered when it came into contact with the red lightning.
"You can even suppress my divine lightning? You're the one who's been thwarting our plans, aren't you? Who are you? What's your problem with our organization?" Fornius asked hoarsely. He didn't expect Ziel's strength to be so much stronger than he expected.
"You don't need to know about it." Ziel pointed his finger at Fornius. Red lightning gathered at his fingertips and slowly formed a dense red ball of energy.
[Thunder Beam]
The red laser beam shot towards Fornius at high speed. Fornius didn't stay still when Ziel pointed his finger at him. He also pointed his palm at Ziel.
[Divine Lightning Beam]
The golden laser beam and the red laser beam met in the sky.
Boooooooooooommmmmm!
"Kyaah!" Clara and the girls were hit by shockwaves and strong winds from the impact of Ziel and Fornius' clashing attacks. They're too close to where Ziel and Fornius fought.
"As expected of the High-Level Divine Race. Your strength can't be compared to the members of your organization I've fought before." Ziel walked in the air slowly as if there was a foothold under his feet. He approached Fornius because he didn't want to get Clara and the other girls involved in their fight.
"You are decent for being able to match my attack power!" Fornius isn't surprised that Ziel can match his attack power. It was a natural thing for the one who had defeated Leviathan.
"But I only use my index finger while you use your palm. So, will the result be the same if I use my palm too?" Ziel points his finger again at Fornius but then turns it into a palm.
Fornius' face darkened after hearing Ziel's words. What he said earlier was true. Ziel's red laser beam is much smaller than Fornius's gold laser beam, but their power is the same. It shows that the true power of Ziel's attack is much stronger than Fornius.
"You don't need to talk much. We'd better prove it in person, my golden divine lightning or your red lightning, which is better." Fornius charged forward to attack Ziel at high speed. At the same time, Ziel also moved towards Fornius. The two of them were moving at speed far beyond the speed of light. Princess Cordelia's eyes couldn't even follow their movements. Princess Cordelia and the girls saw only the clash of golden lightning and red lightning in the overcast sky.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Tsunamis and hurricanes battered the area around where they were fighting. Every time they collided, a huge explosion occurred in the ocean. The impact of their fight seemed like a natural disaster.
"This is not a fight on a human level. We can't interfere in their fight and can only watch it. Judging from how that golden-haired man could easily defeat King Raghnall, King Redis, and Queen Triana, I suspect that person's strength is at least a demi-god or maybe above. So, is Ken's strength the same as that guy? but how old is he to have that kind of power?" Kyouka is amazed by the fight between Fornius and Ziel. Besides that, there is also fear in him. Besides that, there was also fear in her heart. Kyouka and the other heroes were summoned to that world to fight the evil people who wanted to destroy the peace on the Clorius continent. One of them is people from the divine race.
Kyouka didn't think people of that race could be this strong. She had not even thought that a human of her age could match the strength of a hundred years old divine race.
"Hmm… can we have powers like them? if we stay like this, we might die if we meet such an enemy again, and it just so happens that no one can help us." Megumi muttered worriedly. Princess Cordelia shook her head while smiling bitterly after hearing Megumi's words.
"You are heroes. I'm sure you can have that kind of power someday. How long you can get that kind of power depends on your efforts and luck." Princess Cordelia tried to get rid of Megumi's anxiety. But her words did not affect the feelings of the two heroes. They look depressed when they hear it all depends on their efforts and luck.
"Haa…let's hope we don't have to fight against people like that. just let Ken do it." Megumi sighed heavily but then smiled after thinking of the strange idea.
"He wouldn't want to do it. You know how he refused my request, right?" Princess Cordelia said with a gloomy face. She saw Fornius and Ziel fighting made her heart uneasy. Whoever wins, Princess Cordelia will probably suffer. If Fornius wins, then they will all die. However, if Ziel wins, Princess Cordelia will probably suffer the consequences for repeatedly offending him.
The battle between Ziel and Fornius looks fierce. They kept clashing in the sky and caused explosions everywhere. Luckily they were fighting over the sea. Otherwise, the extent of the damage done would have been terrible.
After a while, Ziel and Fornius finally kept their distance from each other. Ziel looks calm and not tired. Meanwhile, Fornius had started sweating, and his breath was a little ragged.
"Looks like I can't be half-hearted when it comes to fighting you. I will show you the true power of a divine race." Forrnius raised his hand, and golden lightning struck him.. After the golden lightning disappeared, Fornius wielded a large golden sword encrusted with lightning on the blade.
