Chapter 5: Kazuya
Chapter 4:
The 4 of them walked into the capital looking around, really Selene. Kian was ready behind her, Kazuya was just looking around near them. Arthur was around, buying things and talking to various girls, showing off as they gasped in awe.
Kazuya walked up to Arthur.
"So, do you not care about finding him?"
"Oh I do, I'm just making sure he's not one of these beautiful women."
"What if he is?"
"I'd hope not… besides he should only have one arm."
"Why is that?"
"Well let's just say I used a very powerful attack which stalls regeneration and he nearly dodged it, but lost an arm in turn for his life."
"YOUR SAYING THIS NOW?!"
"Oh, yeah I guess it is a bit too early."
"Early?!"
Arthur just nodded while rubbing his chin
"Just a bit too early…"
Kazuya grunted and walked away to find Kian and Selene, he walked through the people crawling through or shoving, but he couldn't find them.
He started calling their names, until someone grabbed him.
"Shh, if you're too loud you'll make a search and chaos…"
Kazuya turned only to see some poor looking old man.
"I'm looking for my friends, have you seen a boy with messy black hair and a somewhat confident look, oh and clothes of an adventurer and a girl with royal looking clothes and very beautiful hair and um blue eyes!"
"Yes, I have actually. The boy's name is Kian correct? The girl is, Selene…?"
"Yeah how did you…?" Kazuya then took a good look at the old man and saw that his left sleeve fell next to him, almost as if he didn't have a left arm. He then remembered what Arthur said.
"I'd hope not… besides he should only have one arm."
"Why is that?"
"Well let's just say I used a very powerful attack which stalls regeneration and he nearly dodged it, but lost an arm in turn for his life."
The man chuckled "Well well little elf, what will you do? Run and find your friends and risk losing me, or Fight me here and risk not only your own death, but many others as well. Choose"
Now Kazuya was in a real dilemma. Risk losing the bad guy, or risk lives. Now that he thought about it, lives would be lost either way. If he got away he could cause harm, and if they fight, destruction could cause harm.
"You know, I've always wondered how lower elves survive in a land of magic. Oh thought I didn't know?"
Kazuya was frozen, he didn't know whether he should attack or run, also he didn't know how the man knew so much.
He then thought about his words, Lower Elves and it brought a memory.
***
Some elves in rich clothes and very beautiful or perfect hair, walked through a village in a forest. They walked with confidence and/or pride.
A young elf looked out of the window of his home at them. He wasn't allowed to go outside because of his heritage, so instead he watched.
"Mommy, why can't we talk to them?"
"Ah, Kazuya. We've already been through this, we are Lower Elves, we can't be in their presence, as they are Higher elves with a bigger status than us." The boy's mother stated, with a hint of sadness.
"Oh cheer up my boy. We don't need to talk to them. They are bastards anyway. They think just because they have mana they are better." His father walked over to him, patting his shoulder.
"We don't have mana?"
"Unfortunately no. It is extremely rare for a Lower Elf to have mana and me and your mother don't have any."
"I'm sorry Kazuya, but that's just how life is for us Lower Elves."
That night, Kazuya snuck out of his home and went to see the higher elves. He looked around and saw a few, but really he wanted to find a kid.
He kept walking until he bumped into someone. He looked up and saw a Higher Elf. He had glasses and silky dark hair.
"And what is a Lower Elf doing out here?"
"I wanted to see a Higher Elf! I wanted to see why you guys are so powerful and if you could make me powerful too!"
The higher elf smirked with a light chuckle, but it wasn't with pride but with kindness.
"I see something different in you…"
"Kazuya, my name is Kazuya"
"Kazuya…" he said it again and smiled. "Kazuya, you-"
Kazuya then felt the cool chil and snapped back to reality. He smirked and looked at the man.
"I'll beat you, here and now. I am Kazuya, the soon to be, Strongest sorcerer!"
The man smirked "Then let us battle"
Kazuya held out his hand and so did the man, but Kazuya had a plan and it wasn't to fight. He opened his mouth to speak making the man also do it, but in that instant, Kazuya dashed towards him and struck the man in the chest as hard as possible. Then he yelled out.
"BLASTOS!"
Blasting the man through the capital. All Kazuya could hope was that it didn't cause too much and that someone would find him before it got too serious.
The man stood and dusted himself off and spat out some blood. "Wow, are you a Lower elf?" He then raised his hand, but Kazuya dashed towards him. He wasn't gonna let him use any spells.
The man was met with another gut punch then another and another. Kazuya hit him with a Barrage of punches. Then a blastos to the gut.
Kazuya kept going over and over, but slowly he was losing mana and slowed. The man stood and ripped off his shirt. "Now the real battle begins." He kicked Kazuya so hard he went flying and crashed into a shop.
He struggled to stand, but eventually got up only to see the man's arm slowly growing back. "Finally! Now I'm back!"
The man grabbed Kazuya and threw him through buildings and people. Kazuya couldn't even really stand as the man kicked him around.
"This isn't as fun as I thought it'd be! Ah, I know." He then used the spell "Gaiado!" And like before it created spikes which headed to Kazuya, but something stopped them. Kazuya looked up only to see a boy, with messy black hair and messy clothing of an adventurer. Next to him was a girl with royal looking clothes and beautiful hair.
"We won't let you hurt our friend!" They both yelled
Kian started with blastos which messed up a lot, but also blew the man away, but it wasn't enough. The man stood up and chuckled. "Do you know who I am?"
"You're a monster!"
"No the girl next to you is. Me, I'm the embodiment of evil, the lord of demons… I am above, them-"
Selene interrupted him by using her ability to lift a bunch of objects and send them flying at the man.
Still he was barely damaged. He smirked and walked towards the 3. They didn't know how to defeat him. We're they gonna lose?
Just then Kian heard a voice, it sounded ethereal. It was almost as if the world stopped. He looked around and saw a very beautiful woman standing near the man.
"I've longed to see you... Kian"
