Chapter 12: Children of the Zakum Tree

A year and several months have passed since Coma discovered she was a Goddess. Recently, there was a Zakum run, the people fighting it for months. The Zakum Tree finally gave up, but when it’s children discovered it, they weren’t happy.

Some facts about the ‘Children of the Zakum Tree:

They are human, and a guild of 10.

They are all ridiculously strong, 1 person sick and two that’s belived to be dead.

Zakum’s Altar 2032 June, 1st

Adan: “Our sacred tree…. It’s dead.

Asmodious: “We must revive it before it dies!”

Karon: “Indeed!”

They were in a Zakum’s Altar. The area was made with molten hardened rock and was really hot. Only the best could survive at the El Nath Lava Area. In the middle of the Altar, a dead broken tree statue and 8 people near the broken tree, 30 people away, looking nervous.

Adan: “I told you! You may kill any monster except Zakum! Silaster!”

Silaster: “Sorry master Adanite! We just wanted the helm!”

Adan: “Grrrr…. It will take powerful magic reviving it…” Adanite and his friends were stressed out. Then a thought struck him. He and his friends were wearing Zakum helms, but the thirty weren’t. He felt sorry for their jealousy.

Silaster: “I’m very sorry sir! The others influenced me. And the power of the helms….It’s all my fault!”

Adanite: “I understand. But next time, try to receive the helms from Zakum itself…”

Adanite was interupted by someone. A third jobber.

Third Job Person: “We don’t care, now we have some helms, we can beat you easily! We do what we want, you just shut up!”

Silaster: “No! Shut up! We could’ve gotten forgiven! Now were all going to die!! You don’t understand Loriek! Master Adanite is the most power character ever born!”

Loriek: “I don’t care. Thers only 8 of them, and 1 considering his handicap wife, only 7.

Silaster: “…… I’m not any part of this….”

10 other people walked away with him, and twenty were going to verse against one.

Adanite: “You want a fight eh? You can attack first. But don’t regret and curse me in hell.”

Some 4th Jobbers and 3rd Jobber fully struck Adanite.

“Dragon Pulse!” “Strafe!” “Mortal Blow” Dragon Fury!” “Dragon Crusher!” “Elemental Composition!” “Etc!”

20 attacks from twenty people above level 100+ struck the one figure. He wasn’t fired back, he stood in one position. Puffs of smoke appeared, and he was hidden in it. When it was over, they found out that he was still alive. “How the Hell!” Loriek Screamed, in shock. But Adanite didn’t look so good. Diagonally, his head was sliced, showing his brain. There was a big hole in his stomahce, and a medium sized hole in his heart. His Left Arm and Right Leg was ripped off, minor holes everywhere, but he was still alive, and there was a creepy evil big smile on his face.

Adan: “AHAHHAHAHHA!! Is that all you got?!”

Everyone: Steps back and shudders, “How the hell are you still alive?

Adan: “HEHEHEHEHEHE…. Asphalt! Summon!” A black sinister shadow summoned, which was his assistant.

“Asphalt, hand me my spear!” Asphalt the shadowy creature, pulled out a spear inside itself. “Yeees Masta! What are you going to do this timee? I hope they die painfully.” The spear was three meters long, wasn’t crooked, straight and mostly black, but some parts of it was red. There were a couple of words written on the blade. “Longinus.” It read.

“Do you know how much HP I have?” Adan asked the twenty offenders. “Exactly. I have 1% HP left. I only needed 40% HP to summon Berzerked, but 1% will do.” Bright red flames appeard, covered Adanite, then disapeared. His scars were glowing red, and his eyes were luminating red light from them. “You wants to die first?~” He asked. The twenty offenders raised their weapons, and fired another assault. This time, by all the extreme force, was negated. “You first, for mocking Zakum and my wife and myself.” He pointed at Loriek. Loriek was sweating badly, and stepped back. Adanite pointed his spear like firing a musket, and striked. The powerful aura from the spear struck Loriek’s heart and the person behind him. They both fell on the lava, incinerated. He drew his polearm. It was special too, and he spun once, swinged his Halberd around, and 4 people were ripped in half.

Samiel charged up a ‘Snipe’ and shot at a person’s head. He died instantly too. Fioline and Karon killed a few people, meaning 10 people over 100+ were slaughtered. What was so important about this tree?!

“The tree is fixed.” Asmodious said, and joined the others.

Bishop: “I’ll heal you, Adan, don’t move…”

Adan: “It’s okay Lucida. I can take care of myself.” When he ended, he casted, “Asphalt! Heal!” 99% of the shadow was gone and absorbed into him, he was fully healed and the shadow was slowly glowring back again.

Adan: “So, looking by the damage, I guess 30 people didn’t do this. 31 did. Any other people that joined your battle?”

Silaster: “Well, a Chief Bandit did. Some of us sold him some scrolls, but we don’t know where he is right now.

Adan: “Very well.. Never attack the Evil Sacred Zakum Tree again, or we will horribly kill the rest of you.

Silaster: “Yes sir. We will keep your policy.”

The twenty that managed to live, went off, eye-witnessing what just happened.

Later that day….

The 8 finally met in a long time. 16 years that was. When Minerva disapeared. But they finally met, and this was their chance to exchange information.

Lucida, Sullra: “There are still some dangerous neutral powers left in the world. There should be some hybrids, that were tested before. And our son.

Adan, Asmodious: “And the boy with Zakum’s soul.”

Samiel: “What! The true child of Zakum?!”

Asmodious: “Yeah, I let them live. The true child of Zakum and 3 hybrids.”

Fioline: “You what?! You should’ve killed them!”

Adan: “You want to kill my son?!”

Fioline: “No, you’re son’s fine, ‘cuz if we kill him, you’ll kill all of us. That won’t be fun. But you should’ve seriously killed the hybrids. The complete ones.

Karon: “Fioline’s right. They’re too dangerous to live. By the time they reach 30 or something… The world will be at it’s end.

Asmodious: “No worries, we’ll be off to Eden by then. None of our concerns. I let them live ‘cuz I want to see what would happen.”

Rest: “……………….”

Spardacus: “So you don’t care about the world we’ve once loved and lived on?!”

Sullra: “So you’re risking our native land for for your entertainment. Sounds something that would come right out of you, Asmodious.” She said and smiled a bit.

Asmodious: “……………” He made a big frown.

Adanite: “Not to worry yet friends, they even might be a help as well… Time will tell. Because Asmodious can only look into the future by 1 day. He sucks.”

Asmodious: “You can’t even read the future!”

Adanite: “Cuz I’m a warrior.”

Soon, the arguing ended, and they went back to the Ludibrium palace.

El Nath, Manji’s special training section

“Hellow, it’s me Coma. I’m going be training with Manji for a year, so I can beat all dangers that come right at me. I’m going to write a journal too. (Inspired by AznXKnife)”

Day 1:

Manji’s training program is ridiculously hard. But I hope it’ll get us stonger. I bet Panic’s training too. The course was not simple. A few hours we rest, a few hours we sleep, a few hours we spar, a few hours we murder monsters, a few hours we read books! Why do warriors read books!? Anyways, I figured out something of my wings. When I fall from a high area, with wings, I’m not easily hurt. Maybe later, I can fly. That’d be so good. We are always in that sweaty, tired, out of breath possition. Manji never wants us to get comfortable. Anyways, he’d been always like that so I’m used to it, but the other aren’t. Most times, Chunji just watches. Then he goes somewhere and come back with dinner. Wow dinner! I gotta sleep now…..I’ll be writing tommorow……… *Sleeps*

Day 31:

Did I say tomorrow? I meant next month. Recently, Manji’s been tiring us out badly. So I’m always tired when I go to bed. He first wants us to practise on scarecrows, then moving sentinels, and etc. etc. now we’re on Jr. Yeti. We can handle all this easy, but Manji says we need to know our opponents inside and ouside. This is my daily schedule. 4 AM: Wake up, get water and breakfast! “OMG He’s so cruel!” Complains Terra, but Manji is evil and wants us to suffer. It takes 3 hours go and return from our nearest water source – the City. We live in a cave, and the others experiences what I felt for 15 years. Hahahah, I hope they’re suffering too. Yawn, I’m tired again… *Sleeps*

Day 93:

Now I’m like writing every two months….. As the months pass, same things happen, same torture. But Manji guaranteed us that it’sguaranteed to make us stronger. And finally, we moved up to yetis and they’re too easy. Training on weak monsters and more chores than training. I think Manji’s just treating us like dogs. Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you about my schedule. at 7:30, we finish eating, then kill monsters for 5 hours. Then at 12 O’clock, we battle each other. Then whatever… I’m tired again. *Sleeps*

Day 124:

There’s meditation time now, and I’m finally not tired all the time! I wonder how long this would last.
Anyways, we’ve been still fighting nooby monsters and such, no it’s very boring, except all the torture.

Day 206:

It’s hell. I’m not going to write this journal anymore. Its a waste of my 3 minutes of my PRESCIOUS sleeping time.

Day 314:

Well, I want to get this down, cuz it sounds important.

“Today, we’ll be learning about Special Skills; signature moves. Now if you are low leveled, you might want a random skill that’s really powerful, but rare and hard to use. But if you’re a high level, you might want a skill that you can 100% use.”
Those words struck me for some reason, and we practised some of our special skills.

The days passed slowly, and finally, one year came to an end.

Manji: “Well, how do you feel?”

All: “I feel like a corpse.”

Manji: “That’s very good! I had fun torturing you. But now your stronger. I guaranteed.”

Duncan: “We don’t feel different…”

“Follow me.” Manji said, and walked up the snowy paths of the El Nath mountain range. The soon arrived at a mine. The dead mine. “Step inside.” He said, so we did. We came along, went in deeply.

[Boring Time Skip]

There were bains, monsters we couldn’t have fought before. “Now kill. Use what you learned.” So we did, but we got owned by it badly. “It didn’t work!” Abuban said, complaining. “Then I guess you need another year of training.” Manji said, grinning. “No please don’t! We’ll try again!” I said, and we killed the bains. We did really improve.

Duncan: “Time to get some new stuff!”

Abuban: “How are we supposed to do that.. We got no money.”

Duncan: “Sell all the things we have!”

Yes indeed, we did have alot of stuff. We finally sold our 300,000th hector tail. We made a whole bunch of money; a grand total of 49,845,320 mesos. We finally bought new stuff, and we looked really advanced and powerful.

The next day, an unexpected visitor arrived.

Dozens of guards, surrounding someone, came to the city, were we were standing. The person revealed himself and he was Panic.

“You come here to kill me brother?! Well we’re much better than you, so we can pawn you easily! HA!” Coma said, arrogantly.

Panic: “I came here for a truce. There is another power rising in Victoria. He consumed ancient magic left my a dead powerfl monster. He knows how to use his powers fluently, and I don’t stand a chance against him. I grew some wings to save my life.

They saw the dark, feathery wings of Panic.

Duncan: “Looks like you’ve got yourself bad wings! For kidnapping my gi…. I mean friend!”

Panic: “Yes I deserve it, but you’ve got to help me. If we kill Bob Anderson, that’s his name, you will only have me to go through, which would be easy. If you kill me first, Bob Anderson will cleaver you. Think smart sis. I know you don’t live the idea of this, I don’t like it either. So why don’t we call it a truce and destroy the Anderson scum? We’re family after all.”

Coma: “Sorry, we’ll think about it. Now go away. Or I’ll try to kill you again.”

“I’ll be waiting for your answer.”

Later that day, they met Manji.

Manji: “I personally think it’s a great idea. Finally Panic thought of something well. You should make a quick truce with him. You can’t kill Anderson yourself, but you can kill Panic yourself. Kill Anderson first, then kill Panic.”

“……………..”

End of Chapter 12!
