The Traitor: Relic War
Chp. 41 The Cold of the Night [Arc 2 - Reveal The Truth]

A Few Days Later...

The heavy rain that fell at the end of the year is near to wet the entire city and make some puddles on the streets in addition to the sound of lightning and lightning that sounds like it will make the sky collapse briefly any more.

The fear that looms over the capital is now beginning to return as the sun hides and the day goes dark, a disaster for those who go through nightly activities that look suspicious.

The air felt quite cold outside but their bodies that were charred by alcohol seemed to be feeling tired soon.

Out of the bar three people who are now walking at a slow pace a few moments after the heavy rain has finished flushing the city sang with a roar without anyone daring to reprimand or even scold them.

"Haa??? Hey, two fools, did you see what was there?" Said one of them in a tone that sounded like a drunk on his two friends walking right beside him.

He looked ahead with eyes set aside for not being able to see clearly in the darkness of the night that was only illuminated by the moonlight especially now that he was drunk so he doubted his sight.

"Look what... There's nothing there... You must be drunk..." Answer his friend on the right with a mocking tone.

"You're drunk stupid too, look there it looks like something's coming out of the ground..." He hit the head of his friend who was a checkered body earlier then grabbed his neck while pointing forward.

Where according to what the drunk man said earlier there was something that appeared from the ground where like someone slowly rising land wearing a cloth protector that covered his entire head and only showed the front part of his face where slowly his eyes open and show a cold gaze with blue eyes that light up in the moonlight.

"You're right... Something showed up... It could be a ghost!!!"

"I'm sure it's because we drink too much that we see what we don't... Ignore it.." Say the czech then remove the embrace of the drunk man and walk first to the front.

Passing the figure that appeared with a cold expression and the gaze of the eyes that did not change even a little as if a robot was waiting for a command.

The ceking walked past the figure casually even he had time to play his hand in front of the face of the figure who now looks like ready to kill it.

But because it did not get any response, the cheek finally went with slow steps and also a face that looked satisfied after several times slapping the cheek of the figure earlier.

"It's true like this because we mostly drink..." Reply The drunk man to his other friend then followed the cheque in front.

"Shadow Magic :..." Said the figure earlier with a tone of voice that sounded flat emotionless and very slow

"Haaa???" The drunk man stopped his steps when he was just about to pass next to the figure earlier.

"What's wrong?"

"Maybe this is also the effect of drinking too much as well... I think he just spoke..."

"Next time don't drink too much stupid... You're like an insane person..."

"Yes yes..." He replied with annoyance and then ignored the figure who after being noticed again did not have a right arm and only had one hand.

"Shadow Party Night" He said, finishing the magic that stopped earlier.

Crass... Crass.... Crass....

After the magic recap finished the area behind the figure of Tadi is now filled with blood coming from a raised body with the condition of the stomach which is penetrated by the shadow with a pointed tip from underground then raised their bodies into the air.

Not only penetrated the stomach, but the legs of the head have now all been easily penetrated by the shadow that comes from the ground.

"Target destroyed... Next destination the royal palace... Targets Fighters" He then removed the shadow that emerged from the ground and dropped his third body which now lay stiff without the slightest movement.

After that Zen entered back into the ground slowly and closed both of his eyes after it disappeared completely like the moment he appeared, re-entering his own shadow and leaving the three bodies behind.

Morning Day...

Shield Academy...

After a few days of not attending lessons in the academy, the warriors and princesses of the royal palace returned to the academy on the orders of the King.

Although they knew that now was the time when they had to look for the existence of Zen who had disappeared for 3 days from the palace where the first to realize it was Nania who was about to deliver food to the room Zen but however they must remain focused on their task of becoming stronger to deal with Relic war.

Some people seem to behave as usual, some even look cheerful even though they know that the kingdom is busy with Zen search, but among the fighters who were seen without that problem there were some people who looked lethargic and worried.

Where Elize who put on a lethargic face with eye bags that were clearly painted under her eyes walked while shaking her head, right next to her were Shin and Rika who looked fine from the outside but their inner state was not okay.

"Sister... Don't worry too much about Zen, you also have to worry about yourself... Rest is enough, brother..." Luna said in a tone that sounded so concerned watching Elize's tired face.

"Thank you Luna but I'm fine..." Elize replied without a single glance towards Luna.

"Behold how Elize is not in good condition... Take a break today, brother... If Elize's sister is sick Luna will be very sad" he said again.

"True Princess... We know that the princess is worried about Zen but don't let that worry be bad for you..." Sahut Iori who walks side by side with Luna.

"Thank you for your attention... Coming back from the academy I will definitely rest..."

"Well... Let us go on Kanade's quest..." Sahut Rica.

"Compared to me... Nania's situation is much worse... You guys ask him to rest too..."

"Good princess... We'll do it..." Rika's reply then all walked into the academy as usual.

Zen's whereabouts are now completely unknown, he who left with a state of injury and loss of true memory really makes everyone worried.

Even Arthur himself was afraid that Zen would fall to the Nipotian side and would help them in the Relic War which would happen in less than two months.

And now no one knows where Zen is except one very important person...
