Half the Fallen Angels
Episode 27: Duel of the Two Kings

“Sial once!, you finally woke up too, Devan Zora.”

“You speak as if to regret my arrival, but also to wish my arrival. Whatever it is I don't care.”

Zivan then stood up, the skin of his right chin that was torn as a result of Devan's fist began to regenerate. As for Devan, his right chin cheek has completely healed.

“Hm?.”, Devan's reaction, when his attention was distracted seeing dozens of undead immediately running towards Devan.

Devan looked at the dozens of corpses with a trivial look, his head tilted, his eyes narrowed with a confident smile on his lips.

“Single king besieged enemy pawns kaaaah..?”, Devan said shortly after recalling Zivan's sentence.

“Yaa I am indeed a single king, but. I am not as weak as a single king of the chessboard..”, Devan said.

Then he threw his gaze around all over the body, until when the body had approached and started to take off his attack, Devan said,

“Sleep!”, as soon as dozens of bodies fell.

After that Devan walked slowly closer to Zivan.

“Single king of chess can only rule his own pawns. But I can command the enemy pawn.”

Devan arrives in front of Zivan, and now they face each other.

“Take it easy. I will not suddenly attack like before.”, Devan said with a confident smile.

“You attack suddenly no problem. I'll brush it off with just a finger like that.”

“Oh huh?, you better not act as lightly as before. Because... in front of you now, it is not as weak as before.”, said Devan returned the words of Zivan.

“Hmm...if remembered earlier it felt strange, I forgot how to use my own power.”, continued Devan.

“You. Though your supremacy is over.”

“If it wasn't for Amon, it would have been impossible for me to end up like this. Tch!, if only my angel status had not fallen, let alone Amon, not even the Demon King though I could defeat.”

“Because arrogance is what makes you fall. But yes, losing is losing, no matter the reason. That's what you said, Devan?”, said Zivan in a mocking tone, his eyes looking cynical.

“Hey, can we finish this conversation?. I think our business is not finished.”, said Devan coldly, as well as the look on his face, he was somewhat affected by Zivan's last sentence.

“Yes. Our business is not finished. And since your memory has fully returned, it's time for round two.”

“Oh yes?, then let me add the rules. You are free to use any cunning or cheating tricks, and I keep fighting fair.”

“Looks...I was underestimated?”

“Soal...you are so, right?.”

Suddenly a black aura shot out from around Zivan's footing like water gushing upwards, then spread throughout the cave.

Soon, the bones of the corpse slowly grew in flesh and skin, until the human body was formed again.

“Well, right?. Not nothing has used your trick card.”, said Devan as he glanced towards the one where the bodies rose.

The undead stood up straight.

“But yes... Which same card might work for me.”, said Devan, instantly the white circle and the dot in the middle of Devan's pupils glowed for a moment.

The bodies began to walk, but they did not walk towards Devan, but rather they walked back to their graves.

“What??”, said Zivan unexpectedly, as he looked at the incident.

“Eh?..So they went back to their graves huh. I thought they were going to attack me. But Zivan... why do you look so.. is it possible..now it's your turn to forget how to control your magus?.”, cynical Devan.

Zivan was a bit annoyed, he looked at Devan and then darted running, jumping and hit Devan strongly with his arm.

Devan was no less fast, he immediately parried with his arms so that their arms clashed.

“Finally you also advanced first.”, said Devan, he smiled confidently to fend off Zivan's hit.

“What??”, suddenly Devan's arm retreated unable to withstand the attack to hit his chest, he was knocked back but still in balance.

He reduced the impact by strengthening his footrest until dragged, but Zivan continued to run after Devan, jumping into the air, then releasing his right leg kick in the air towards Devan's head…

“PUM!!”, Devan deflected Zivan's kick with his left arm bent at the side of his head, Devan's right hand crossed in front of his face holding and holding his left arm to help resist Zivan's attack.

Zivan's kick was successfully repelled, but his left hand drooped weakly. Devan immediately leapt back into the brink, but Zivan kept coming closer not letting him.

Zivan took off two consecutive punches towards Devan, but was able to avoid it, after which Zivan quickly turned to the right and directly spread his right hand.

Devan intended to fend him off but he paused, and quickly subdued his body back until the punch just blew his hair away.

He quickly returned to his feet but Zivan's left hand slammed into his face, forced Devan to pull him over with his right hand so that the direction of his fist changed, but not enough power right hand Devan.

“PUM!!”, Tinjuan Zivan hit right in Devan's nose causing him to crash to the ground and then bounce slightly upwards.

Devan immediately rolled over and got up even though half-standing and quickly returned his gaze to Zivan who was drafting his legs and released a powerful kick to Devan's head.

Devan swiftly widened his legs and lowered his body as his left hand touched the ground supporting him.

“Wuuushh!!”, Zivan's powerful kick darting over Devan's head made Devan's hair fly in a rippling wind.

Devan immediately jumped small to close his legs and immediately he stood up, jumping salto back, until his feet almost hit Zivan's face if he did not jump backwards.

Devan immediately touched the ground with both hands to help him get back on his feet, but suddenly his hand slipped because he was unable to hold his weight.

“Sial!”, misuh Devan, he immediately close his arms above the head to be protected from impact, and he pushed his legs until curved so as soon as his body returned to the ideal position.

Devan's legs reached the ground before his head, and he managed to get his balance.

But when Devan had just returned his attention to Zivan, Zivan knew that he was in front of him and had released a powerful fist into his face.

It was then that Devan used his magus, the white circle and the dot in the middle of his pupils momentarily lit up. Zivan fell asleep for a moment, which was when he immediately brushed aside Zivan's fist.

0.5 Seconds later…

Zivan soon regained consciousness and knew Devan's right hand was slamming into his left cheek.

“Buk!”, Zivan's head only bounced a little and Devan instantly jumped up and lunged both of his legs into Zivan's chest.

Zivan was pushed back not too far back, while Devan fell and dragged backward on the ground, then he rolled back while getting up half-standing.

And now the two are also distant.

“That's all?”, ask Zivan lightly.

When he saw Zivan stop attacking he held his face that was hit by Zivan's fist.

“Magusmu...very troublesome!”

“Hahaha!, otherwise, where might I be king.”

(“Anything that comes into contact with Zivan will suck up that energy and be absorbed by it. I'm off guard!. I didn't think about the magus. Attacking him when he regains consciousness, is akin to letting your energy be absorbed by him. Fending off his attacks is also the same.”, bathin Devan.)

“But, the king was defeated by me, and his supremacy moved to my hands completely.”, said cynically Devan while smiling confidently.

“Tch!.”, hiss little Zivan, then he slightly breathed trying to hold himself back from being provoked.

“So you're cured?. I was deliberately waiting for you to have time to heal yourself.”

Devan was back on his feet, the wounds on his face had disappeared, the energy in his body had returned, he had fully recovered.

“I will prove here that you, not a creature worthy to belittle me!”, Devan said with a confident smile.
