Chapter 11: Chapter 10 : Before The Fight

Both sides are ready for battle even though Azel can't use all his strength. Azel and Zorecco stared at each other from about twenty meters away.

The facial expressions of Azel and Zorecco at this time were completely invisible. Of course, it's because Azel's helmet covers almost their entire face, except for the eyes. The two of them were also already in combat alert positions and were already preparing to swing their respective weapons.

But Zorecco was not seen holding a weapon, and only ten long swords could be seen flying behind him and forming a circle. Azel decided not to take his previously stabbed sword. Azel didn't want to rush into fighting and preferred to seek information first.

Of course, information is the strongest weapon. If only we had information about the enemy, no matter how weak our was, we still had a chance to win by using a strategy. Azel sighed, then exhaled.

"Hahhh… Do you want to use that armor to fight?" Azel asked while looking at Zorecco.

In the midst of the silence of the cave, Zorecco began to walk slowly towards Azel. His gaze turned to Azel, and the sound of armor moving was loud enough. Of course, Azel was alert and started holding the hilt of his sword. He didn't know what Zorecco was going to plan, if it was a surprise attack, then Azel was ready to face it.

Zorecco stopped walking, now he was only about eight meters in front of Azel. In other words, Zorecco's only aim was to narrow the distance between himself and Azel.

"Probably yes and no, I just felt that you could attack me at any moment. After all, wouldn't it be more convenient if the two of us talked to each other in human form?" Zorecco said, in an even voice.

"I see, then… Why are you wearing full armor?" Azel asked.

Azel smiled slightly because maybe at this time, he could make Zorecco silent for a while. Of course, it was a small victory if it could make the opponent pause for a moment while negotiating before the fight.

"Do you know? The True Dragon Lord never shows his humanoid form to anyone, plus I currently don't hold a weapon in both hands," Zorecco explained the reason he was wearing the armor.

Azel smiled. Now he had gotten some valuable new information from his enemy, Zorecco. The information obtained says that the ten flying swords are not Zorecco's main weapon, because he has not used his main weapon at this time. Of course, with this information, Azel must be wary.

"I see, alright… So how about a peaceful solution?" Azel asked again about the peaceful solution he proposed earlier.

"Peaceful solution? I agree with that, on one condition," Zorecco agreed to Azel's solution but Azel had to fulfill those conditions.

"What are the conditions?" Azel asked about the conditions that Zorecco wanted.

"Could you go back to Hell and stay forever there?" Zorecco said in a very cold voice and the light in his eyes lit up.

Azel had guessed that the condition of the peaceful solution was that he had to return to Hell. Of course, Azel does not want to return to Hell, and he must complete his revenge on the kingdom that threw him first.

"I refuse," said Azel very firmly.

Zorecco had expected that Azazel would refuse his conditions in exchange for a peaceful solution. Of course, now was the only chance to take revenge for his brother and at the same time carry out his duties. In other words, if Zorecco killed Azazel, it would be the same as throwing a stone and hitting two birds.

There is no longer any reason to make peace.

A sizable ax suddenly appeared in Zorecco's right hand. Of course, this indicates that Zorecco currently intends to fight with Azel very seriously. The ax has a name, Thrafstiras Ax, or Axe of Destruction. Of course, the name was given because the ax had a high level of penetration, so it could penetrate armor like a piece of paper.

The ax was about two meters long and was gray with the edges covered in gold. The handle is also made of metal, which is quite hard and makes the user very comfortable while wearing the ax.

But it is still not certain whether the ax can penetrate the armor of Azel.

"Well, if you refuse, then there's no other choice," Zorecco said in a cold tone.

The atmosphere is now very tense. Both sides were ready with their respective weapons and full armor. Almost nothing of their skin was visible because the armor they wore almost covered their entire bodies.

Even though Azel is a Necromancer, he can still fight at close range. It could be said that Azel was able to fight while using Necromancer magic. On the other hand, Zorecco also has a special magic that has the name Dragon Magic. This magic is not included in tier magic but is included in extra magic.

Azel started to pull out his stuck sword while standing in a high alert position. Azel and Zorecco looked at each other, and their eyes lit up. The rear armor of Azel and Zorecco also has a very big difference.

The back of Azel's armor has four medium-sized black wings, while for Zorecco there is only a brown cloak. Azel shifted his gaze for a moment to his surroundings.

He predicted that this cave would be destroyed if the two of them fought here.

"Then I also have no other choice," said Azel, who was filled with murderous lust.

"The peaceful solution, for now, is to fight to the end. How about it?" Zorecco asked Azel.

"I agree with what you said," Azel agreed with the solution proposed by Zorecco.

They both narrowed their eyes and stared intently at each other. Their right hand is also holding its flagship weapon. Azel with Interitus Mk X, and Zorecco with Thrafstiras Ax. A gust of cold wind in the cave hit Azel and Zorecco's armor.

The atmosphere of the cave is now very quiet, only the sound of water falling from the ceiling of the cave and hitting the ground continuously to form a puddle.

Azel started to open his left palm. Suddenly, six small black balls appeared in Azel's left hand. He then began to look very briefly at the ceiling of the cave and immediately threw the six small black balls towards the ceiling of the cave.

The five rings that were previously in Azel's hands are now moving out of the armor so that they can be worn. In other words, the ring is attached to each of Azel's fingers, which are already covered with armor.

"I'm going to exterminate you!" Azel bullied Zorecco slightly and chuckled.

"Try it," Zorecco said confidently.
