Amidst the chaos of battle, Velian's sharp eyes caught sight of a young man standing outside the village, near the edge of the sinister forest.
'What is he? Is he some kind of a cell user?'
Velian had his own doubts.
The smile on his face immediately gave away his real identity, as no one said would laugh seem this destruction, for it was a smile devoid of empathy or remorse—a smile that hinted at a malevolence lurking within.
'So he is the one, who is causing this mayhem?'
Velian thought and looked at Naomi before requesting her to take over the commanding of the battle.
Velian's steps faltered for a moment as he surveyed the young man, his mind racing with suspicion.
He had encountered individuals like him before—cell users, those who dabbled in cell power and twisted their souls for power. Determined to confront this newfound threat, Velian pushed forward, his sword glinting with purpose.
Approaching the young man, Velian's voice carried a mix of authority and caution. "Halt! Who are you? What is your role in this chaos? Answer me right now,"
The young man's smile widened, his gaze fixated on Velian. "Ah, you were the knight that kept fighting. How delightful to meet you amid such exquisite destruction."
Velian's grip tightened around his sword, his voice laced with a stern warning. "Your twisted amusement ends now. Explain yourself before I render justice upon you by removing your head from your body."
The young man chuckled darkly, his eyes gleaming with an unsettling brilliance. "Justice, you say? What a weird concept. I merely seek to unravel the threads of this world, to watch the dominos fall. Chaos is my symphony, and you, dear knight, are an unwitting player in this grand composition."
He said and turned his head to look at Velian.
"I have gotten the chance to change the world, to become the existence I always wanted to be,"
Velian's brows furrowed with a mixture of confusion and anger. "You revel in the suffering of innocent lives? What kind of monster are you?"
He said and looked at his own hands.
"This power! This promise, I won't give them up, it will happen, competition will happen and I will be the last man standing,"
The cell user's grin remained unyielding, his voice dripping with cruel amusement. "And you call me a monster? No, I am an artist. An artist who brings forth the beauty of destruction, the symphony of despair. The weak shall crumble, and the world will be reborn in chaos."
"You will not have your way," Velian declared, determination etched across his face. "I will stop you, protect the innocent, and restore order to this world."
With a swift motion, Velian charged towards the cell user, their clash echoing through the air. Sword clashed against dark magic, will against will.
Without warning, he summoned dark energies, tendrils of shadow swirling around him. Velian's instincts kicked in, his sword raised in defence.
But instead of aerial attacks or close-range attacks, something strange happened.
Without warning, he gestured, and the ground shook as monstrous creatures emerged from the depths of the forest. Velian's eyes got ready as he prepared to face the unholy horde.
"You underestimate my power," Velian declared, his voice resonating with unwavering determination. "I will protect the innocent and bring an end to your unwanted terror."
"After all, you're not the first cell user, I killed, you're nothing but a leech compared to what I already fought, trash,"
Velian wasn't the type of person to help anyone without having an advantage toward his family or himself and he knew if these people die it would be hard for Sariya and Daphnia, so he had to prevent deaths and make sure the Kelleros Kingdom won't be known as a kingdom that gave up its citizens.
With a swift motion, Velian charged towards the tamer, their clash echoing through the air. Sword met claw, as Velian fought against the creatures that threatened the village and the wicked tamer who commanded them.
"You said I'm easy? So why can't you kill me?" Veliam shouted and saved his weird causing the monsters that the monster ordered to attack to be thrown back.
In their fierce battle, the tamer revelled in his control over the monsters, directing their savage attacks towards Velian. But Velian fought with unyielding strength, his resolve fueled by his duty to safeguard the lives that hung in the balance.
Blade clashed against Fang, lightly pushed back against the darkness, and in this relentless confrontation, Velian sought to sever the tamer's bond with his monstrous allies.
Their clash intensified, each strike fueled by the urgency to protect the innocent and rid the world of this twisted menace.
As they fought, the village behind them continued to burn, but hope flickered in Velian's heart. For he knew that he carried within him the strength of justice and the power to bring light even to the darkest corners.
With every swing of his sword, Velian aimed to shatter the tamer's control over the creatures and expose his true nature.
The battle raged on, the clash of their forces resounding through the desecrated village, as the valiant knight fought to protect the innocent and bring an end to this reign of terror.
Through sheer determination and unwavering bravery, Velian pushed back the monsters one by one, severing the tamer's hold over them. And as the last creature fell, the tamer stood before Velian, his facade of the tough-looking person dropping as the only monsters that he had remaining were the numbers that kept attacking the village.
"Come back!" He shouted panicked.
He aimed to surprise attack Velian, but before he could even do that the monsters got blown up by the wind slash Velian did causing the man to look at Velian like a monster, and he knew he messed up ahem he underestimated this man.
'I need to run away'
He thought but before he could do that, Veliam was already in front of him and he held the tamer's head and suddenly bashed it onto a tree near them causing the blood to splash.
"Well, looks like I got what I wanted even before I even search," Velian thought and grabbed the man, and took him so he can use all types of torture methods to find the locations of the others.
After all only a cell user can attract another cell user, so Velian decided to use this man as a bug attractor to kill them when others take the bait.
