Half the Fallen Angels
Episode 49: Instant Disappointment

"Teacher?, I don't remember ever having a student like you.... Ooh, I remember giving you little suggestions that were not that much. Don't get me wrong, I used to do it because you guys are the pieces that matter to my kingdom."

"Hoi hoi, I'm also not that stupid to not realize your rottenness. But now I do not think, a Fallen Angel who once overthrew your throne of leadership, even now you help and protect with all your strength. The name that was never on my list of suspicions, the fact is that he is the one before me right now, Zivan Zora."

"Whoever I help, it's none of your business. It's all up to me."

"Hm-hm. Right - right. I also don't care about your business. But I'm sorry Zivan, this one has something to do with us. The fight must be settled, and the contract must be fulfilled."

"Oh yeah?, then, let's finish it!"

"That's what I want to do. Maia, Meghan, don't interfere."

Both are moving to the side.

"Hm, you do like to underestimate your opponents."

"I was underestimating you. You see, which stupid creature fights a lackey with full strength, except if he is also a lackey. But not after knowing that you are Zivan. This time I will seriously fight.

Ooo.. Don't get me wrong, I told them not to interfere not to underestimate you. I want to prove to myself that Istan Zora, the current leader of Delbora, is better than Zivan Zora, the previous leader. "

Iman quickly ran towards Zivan. The duel suddenly began, without any cue.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The roots of the creeping tree appeared chasing the feet of Istan who was fast running. But Istan who ran zigzag attacking makes none of the roots can strangle his legs.

"The same class won't work for me anymore, Zivan."

Then arise from the underground tree trunks from the front of the running path that was about to pass Istan, but Istan nimbly avoid moving left-right so that no one hit it.

"So much?, too simple."

Istan was close to Zivan, but suddenly Zivan extended his hand forward with a sun-blooming finger. Sontak appeared five tree trunks from under Zivan's feet growing very quickly sliding before Istan's face.

But Istan was no less alert, his fingers bloomed before his face. Then immediately the tree trunk grew to turn on both sides passing through him.

Istan jumped up and ran over the tree trunk that Zivan had made, and then Zivan closed the five fingers of his fingers making the log brittle, withered, and dead.

Istan also lost his footing and began to fall, that's when Zivan quickly raised his left arm with clawed fingers, then suddenly from under Istan grew tree trunks with sharp branches.

But Istan was no less agile, his black wings were so wide at once appeared and quickly he flew tilted rotating body in the air, until he managed to avoid. But...

Cracks!

One of his wings hit a sharp twig and injured him.

"So so. You're after this, Zivan."

Istanbul is not at all worried, even though it hurts, but does not interfere with its focus in the slightest.

Until Istan almost reached Zivan, immediately Zivan raised his hands high up, suddenly appeared a large tree body lifting Zivan high up.

Istanbul who was flying low immediately also turned sharply upwards while increasing its flying speed.

While Zivan was at the top immediately jumped running down towards Istan, the moment it grew a tree trunk as fast as Zivan ran giving him a foothold in the air.

THE PUMB!!

They also clashed their arms, this time purely with a physical fight without any flow of magus interfering.

At that moment, they started counting the same thing...

("Interval time using their magus ability back")

"Why bother running?, when you can pull me towards you."

"If it's not even fun. I'll easily beat you."

"So like this? Fight your serious fashion, Istanbul!"

"I hope you are not happy about it" Istan said, smiling cynically at him.

"Cih!", Zivan immediately threw out his arm, both arms were knocked down, but Zivan regained his footing and profited from his higher position. He immediately jumped back while directing the foot lunge towards the stomach of Istan.

Bhuk!!

Instant hit by an attack, quickly fell on the ground filled with dry tree trunks.

But fortunately his gravity barrier immediately returned, after five seconds Iman without his own magic ability. He fell down, but immediately rolled back and stood up.

"Hm?", Istan was surprised, because something did not match his estimate.

("Not that he kept crashing towards me, but he ran to a higher place instead... She...distant me?")

Istan raised his head and saw Zivan continue to run quickly until a circular tree trunk track was formed following his running steps.

Although Zivan does not know for sure, but his guess is right. The Istan magus returns in five seconds.

From the beginning Zivan had suspected, the difference in the time interval of using Zivan magus was longer than Istan. It was only a matter of time, for Istan to realize that.

Istan who was at the bottom also raised his hand while trying to point his palm parallel straight towards Zivan.

When his palms were straight in line with Zivan's position, he clenched his hands and pulled firmly downwards.

Sontak Zivan was intrigued by the downward march. This time he could not do anything except his bathin count hoping the count of 15 first completed before he reached within the range of Istan attack.

10

11

Zivan was silent, his heart pounding holding patiently his count.

12

13

Zivan was almost within range, and Istan was ready to make his right hand take a punch.

15....

Suddenly Istan halted his gravitational pull and undoed his fist intent, having found both sides growing tree trunks rapidly towards him.

He flicked his wings until he jerked backwards to avoid two tree trunks colliding with each other.

However, two other tree trunks grew from the ground on either side, wherever he was.

The krash!!

The krash!!

The krash!!

The krash!!

The krash!!

Instantly Istan spun around in the air and then flew at the rate of curling like a banana in the air, avoiding the entire tree trunk that was bumping into each other that was chasing him.

While Zivan, himself fell at a rate from above, but was too close to the ground.

"BUM!!", the soft roots that propagate at Zivan's point will fall down are not enough to hold Zivan. As a result, Zivan's back was still hit by the hard ground that was hurting him.

Zivan slowly got up, trying not to show his pain.

("Damn!, my recovery ability is very slow, the impact of my fight with Devan yesterday is still not completely recovered")

"I don't think the difference in the time interval of using our magus is much different, Zivan.", said Istan flatly, he was floating in the air while staring at Zivan who was below with a disappointed look.

Zivan was surprised, he hid the look on his face. He did not expect Istan to realize it so soon.

"Different?", Zivan slightly turned his head, his pupils pointing towards Istan who was at the top with a sharp gaze.

"So I thought to myself, why do you have to wait within my range to use your magus, when from the beginning you attacked me from a distance."

Zivan was silent, not denying Istan's words.

"In a fight with fast intensity, five seconds feels long, let alone fifteen seconds", continued Istan.

Zivan started the movement. His right leg he snapped on the ground, immediately also grew a tree trunk that pushed strong Zivan towards the height towards Istan.

"Sorry Zivan, I've lost interest in you now."

Even though little more Zivan following the height of Istan, knew Meghan's lightning fist had hit her cheek until she was thrown up and landed in the yard of her residence.

Zivan, who had been dragged over some distance, tried to stop himself, taking back the balance by pressing his footrest on the ground.

After that, immediately Zivan returned his attention to the opponent while ignoring his pain, then Meghan who was chasing after him and was close in front of him.

Meghan poked her right hand, then pulled her fist back towards Zivan's face, but this time Zivan easily brushed her fist away with his left hand and then Zivan turned the fist against Meghan's face with his right hand.

"Bhuk!", Meghan fell to the ground, too late to realize that the lightning magus running through her arms and legs had been extinguished.

Istan, Maia, and Raven who were paying attention then moved upwards following them, realizing there was something strange up there.

At that moment, Zivan's goal had failed, an entity that should have been the least informed, only now began to find out.

When their feet began to walk on the lawn, their hearts were filled with discomfort. Even the red eyes of Istanbul to be wide-eyed because of it.

They started to look around...

All the plants that were there, were all bluish with green patches. Everything is scattered, at various points on this page.

"It's. Artemis' magic!", said Raven, whose eyes barked creepily. He himself seemed to be in disbelief, at the sight before him.

"Now I understand why this valley is sealed" said Meghan, who had just risen, even forgetting that she had just received Zivan's fist.

Istan turned, looking at Zivan with a look of disappointment.

"So you've been siding with the fairies all this time?"

"Haa.", Zivan said, in a cold manner.

"WHICH IS TRUE YOU, DAMN IT!!, WHEREAS ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT THAT I WAS CONTINUING YOUR AMBITIONS!!!", Istan shouted with barking eyes, yelling at Zivan with tremendous anger..

"Hey Istan.", suddenly Raven called Istan.

All looked towards the genie who was the teenage boy's stature. His eyes were so creepy looking at Istan who was enveloped in anger.

"Come, let's just burn this place down!", while lifting his index finger toward Istan.

Suddenly a dark black portal with white patches appeared before Istan's face. Then came a four-horned dark entity with black eyes that barked hideously from behind the portal.

At that moment, the sky above them instantly turned red, the wind became unfriendly, as a result of his arrival. Then all the plants were bluish with patches of green, instantly losing their color.

"BASIS THOU TRAITOR, ZIVAN!', the entity snapped violently, in the crudest voice, and set forth its most sinister eyes, before Zivan's face.

"Aamon".", Zivan was wide-eyed, himself very surprised, seeing who was in front of him.

Suddenly, the magic plant Artemis lost its color was instantly burnt violently, by the flames soaring high into space.

"Hey stop... What are you doing, Aamon?"

Zivan's heart lost its composure, his face full of despair looking at the magic plant Artemis was burning violently.

While others, their hearts were burned by Anger, due to the momentum of Aura Aamon's presence among them. Their abilities have been revived, ever since Artemis' magic lost its color.

"DIE YOU, TRAITOR!!"

Then the black flames began to rise and explode right under Zivan's feet...

"BUAARRRRR!!!", his voice boomed, soaring high into space, and burning the mighty within.

And right beside the fire stood a girl with horse-eared, with a tail that slashed behind her. Her unraveled hair was brownish red, with bangs covering her forehead.

"When I again intend to say goodbye to you. But you're battered like this, Zivan."

The girl lowered her face, her horse's black eyes looking softly at the unconscious Zivan, in a sling of both arms.
