The 5 Elemental Lord
Old man Sura
Although the old man asks to be killed, but when he is attacked by Selena, he also avoids Selena's attack. This made Selena was not out of thought with the old man's behavior.
"Old man, what do you mean? If you want to be killed then surrender, not dodge all my attacks." Shouted Selena.
"Indeed, I want you to kill me, but it feels too easy if there's no resistance." Said the old man with such a loud laugh.
As for Zeno, he was silent and only saw the fight of Selena and the old man after the lightning strike stopped. After all, he was not interested in killing the old man, as the old man should have stayed alive and guarded these ruins. Because these ruins belong to part of the ancient artifacts that still exist in the land of lightning.
In addition, he was also interested in seeing Selena and the old man fight himself. It makes Zeno unceasing to praise Selena who is good at playing swords.
"Hey young man! Don't you want to kill me?" The old man was busy dodging Selena's sword attack.
"I'm not interested in killing you at all. You know old man, you actually have to live until you die because of your broken self, because these ruins you have to guard!"
"What's in the ruins like this? Isn't this just an abandoned residence with nothing?" Answer the old man.
Zeno let out a long sigh, then he said, "It's a pity that if the ruins that existed for hundreds of years ago there is no one to guard, wouldn't this be an ancient artifact of the lightning country?"
"At least the story of the little boy who slaughtered his own family is not a mere fairy tale, a ruin of this, as well as your guarding self, is a strong proof that the fairy tale is real."
"In addition, it will be a lesson for young people, that pride is not a thing that needs to be shown, pride will never be eternal. Isn't that Sura Zanfal?"
The old man was shocked after Zeno said his name, he was so confused, how could Zeno know his name was Sura? Since then, the old man named Sura never told him his name at all.
That confusion, made Sura so careless. As a result, a slash succeeded Selena landed on the arm of Sura, so Sura looked shocked and had jumped back.
Fresh blood poured out of Sura's arm, indicating that she was indeed a human and not a spirit, because basically, the spirit would not be able to bleed at all.
"How do you know my name?" Sura asked with her arm.
Although Sura was still in place, Selena kept her legs up and swung her sword towards Sura.
"Selena stop!" Shouted Zeno.
"What's? He's just gonna keep us from getting out of here." Said Selena who momentarily stopped after Zeno shouted.
"Hold that sword." Zeno Sahut.
"Sura, that's the name that I saw in an instant on a sheet, I accidentally found the sheet while tracing these ruins." Zeno.
"According to the sheet, Sura is a very less talented child in mastering the two innate elements of the Zanfal family, it makes the Zanfal family as the strongest family embarrassed. But for the sake of covering it up, the entire Zanfal family did an experiment to Sura, which was to forcefully insert a beast into Sura." He greeted with a serious look at old man Sura.
"Somehow you could kill the Zanfal family for sure it was out of spite, I don't know that. But that's why you and your beast seem to have no concern for each other, because between the two of you undertook a contract not from the heart, but because of coercion." Zeno said that still connected the story.
"It was a long time ago, about hundreds of years ago, so what's the point of such a story." Sahut old man Sura.
"So what do you mean tell me that?" Old man Sura asked with a frown on his head.
"Nothing, but do you know? There's a little note on the back of the sheet. You want to know?" Ask Zeno back.
Before Sura opened her mouth, Zeno instead first answered her own question.
"Poor child Sura is a strong child, although Sura is not as talented as the others, but Sura is a patient child. Sura has to live even if someone wants to kill Sura, mother will always be next to Sura." Zeno's words managed to make old man Sura teary.
Because, since hundreds of years he guarded these ruins, he never found a sheet containing such words. In fact, the entire sheet, the engineering scrolls were all out of time.
Sura could not assume that Zen's story was a lie, because when he was a child, he had indeed heard those words from his own mother when he almost slept.
"So you have to stay alive old man, those are your mother's words, right? Your mother will feel sad if you don't manage to live if someone wants to kill you." Firmly Zeno to old man Sura.
The eyes of old man Sura shed tears, tears that wet his cheeks, even until his beard can make Selena touched.
Old man Sura then approached Selena slowly, not knowing what Sura was doing, but it made Selena stand by by tightly grasping her sword back.
Sura swiftly held the sword Selena was holding, strangely Sura was holding right on to the iron of the sword, thus making Sura's hand bleed. Not only that, Sura also thrust Selena's sword towards her own stomach.
"Old man, what are you doing?" Shouted Selena so surprised after what Sura did.
Unwilling to stop, Sura pushed herself even more, so the sword Selena was holding managed to pierce the stomach of old man Sura.
"Old man, stop it!" Shouted Zeno who then ran towards Selena and also Sura.
Selena now tried to draw her sword so that Sura would not play to injure herself, but the grasp of old man Sura was so strong that Selena could not draw her sword.
When Zeno got to Sura and Selena, Sura was lying with her stomach badly torn, even her internal organs were very clearly visible.
"Old man, what caused you to do this." Said Zeno bowing his head, he looked visibly saddened by Sura's death.
A small child came out of Sura's body, the little boy floated into the air smiling at Zeno and Selena as well. You could say that the little boy is the spirit of old man Sura.
Sura's spirit slowly appeared a very beautiful female spirit, she appeared by hugging Sura's small body. Sura who saw that also returned the woman's embrace.
"Selena, did you see her?"
"Yes I saw it."
The two seemed to shed tears looking at Sura who was hugging the miss of the woman with a shawl on her shoulder. Slowly, the two spirits disappear leaving Zeno, Selena and Sura's body alone.
