Reborn With The All Seeing Eye

Two guards threw Zukor into a dim prison cell, and walked away, Not after spitting on the ground.

"You Bastards!! Don't you know I'm your king?!!"

"Shut up."

A voice sounded in the dark cell. Zukor turned around, seeing two beast folks staring at him with disdain.

"Who the hell are you two?!!" He asked arrogantly.

The two looked at one another, then sneered at him;

"Hey! You're not a king here, so behave."

The muscular man with the upper body of a wolf said, his gaze fixed on Zukor.

"You!!"

Zukor's word trailed off, as the man stood up, and walked towards him:

"Did you say something?"

He asked with killing intent.

With every steps the man took, Zukor moved backward.

'I'm powerless now, Is this Aaron's plan? To kill me inside this dark prison, he's really heartless... To kill a king in a place like this!!'

His back touched the cold iron door of the prison, and Zukor watched in Horror as the man stopped in front of him.

"What is your name, boy?"

"Zu... Zukor."

He stammered, sweats all over his body.

"Ok Zukor, Do you want to escape from here?"

Zukor was stunned in a daze.

"What?"

He asked in mild confusion.

The Man smiled at him, and walked towards his previous spot, then sat down beside his second.

"You heard me." He said in a flat tone, and added:

"Highest, We have some hours to live. That kid called Emperor Aaron is more evil than three of us combined, So we need to escape... But no worries, If you want to stay back, it's on you."

Zukor thought for a moment, and walked up to the two, then sat down before them.

"Why are you telling me this? How do you know you can trust me?"

"We don't, Don't think we're friends or anything, I just need an extra man for my plan to work, and you got delivered to us... All you need to know is, after we escape, We are strangers."

"Ok, If we want to work together, I need to know you two... What are your names?"

"It's only fair. I'm Glad, He's right-hand man, Nlad." The Muscular man said.

Zukor frowned hearing the names: 'I have a strong feeling these aren't their names... I was so intimidated that I blurted out my real name... Well... I'll follow these fools for now... After I'm out, I'll find a way to gain my powers, then have my revenge... Wait.'

He observed the two for some seconds, then cautiously asked:

"What's the plan? And how are we going to escape when we don't have any powers?"

"When the guards come to bring us out, we'll simply knock them out, and escape from here... With the information gotten, we're currently heading to the Demon kingdom, I know the route like the back of my hand, I only need to get out from here... And I'll lead everyone out from the Third Continent."

Nlad said with a small smile.

Zukor nodded at him, and sighed; "Then when will the guards come and take us out, and how do we knock them out? I hope you two know the guards are a lot stronger than us?"

"You ask a lot of question, You'll know after some hours." Glad said, closing his eyes.

Zukor just nodded, and silently sat there, not saying or asking anything.

BAM!

A frown settled on his face, noticing the prison rocking back and forth.

"Huh? Wait! Are we moving?!"

The two stared at him like looking at a fool:

"When the guards threw you inside, where you blind?" Glad asked.

"....."

Zukor was silent, not knowing how to answer.

________

Aaron sat on Zukor's fully armored horse, riding towards the Demon Kingdom... The army of thousands, and a huge carriage, following behind him.

"My King, Why are we leaving them alive?"

Emily who was riding beside him, asked in mild confusion.

"He's a king, and deserves a befitting death... Don't you think so?"

Aaron turned his head to Emily, a smile on his face.

"I get Zukor, but what about those two leaders of the Wolf army?"

Aaron was silent for a while, then said in a calm tone;

"The Demon Kingdom has a rule. Convicts are given a chance to live if they win the competition... They'll battle against each other, and the last man standing will be set free, Zukor will bear the same fate."

"What if Zukor wins? Will you let him go?" Emily asked, a little surprised.

"It seems you have forgotten the rules of the competition... The winner will have to fight the reigning king, If he could survive ten rounds under the kings, he'll be spared... Do you think Zukor, can survive ten rounds with me?"

Emily nodded, finally getting Aaron's plan.

"So you want to humiliate him on the arena, then kill him in front of everyone."

"Yes… If he survives to the end, I'll restore his Powers... At least give him a fighting chance."

"But?--"

"--Don't worry, I'm just doing this to show my enemies I'm not to be underestimate... Killing two birds with one stone."

Emily sighed and nodded: "It'll be fun."

Aaron silently nodded, not saying anything.

[Forest of Nightmare.]

The First and Second Guardians stopped in front of Kara, and The Dean.

"Elder Kara, We have searched the whole forest... The Beast-Rulers are nowhere to be found." The first Guardian said.

"They aren't in the forest, Elder Kara." The second added.

Kara moved her gaze on the two, and the soldiers behind them.

"Not in the forest?! They can't just disappear. Have you searched the whole area around the forest?"

The Guardians looked at one another, and shook their heads.

"And you said you couldn't find them!! Search the whole first Continent! From inside out! Even if it's the Flesh Eaters' forest, I need those Beast-Rulers gone!!!"

The guardians and soldiers quickly nodded, bowed at her and walked away from the place.

"Calm down, Kara... There's no need to be so excited, You'll get the cores... But... Do you think the Beast-Rulers are still close by?"

Kara shook her head.

"There are gone."

The Dean was confused:

"You knew this? Then why are asking the soldiers to search the forest?"

Kara smiled.

"Beast-Rulers can't appear without a reason. And you said they were after food... What's the strange thing in all of these?"

The Dean stared at her side profile in confusion.

"I don't know." He answered.

"Beast-Rulers are territorial Monsters, There's no way you can encounter two in the same exact location... And they never work together, let alone Hunt."

"So you're saying someone is behind this?"

Kara nodded.

The Dean was stunned, then asked: "Who's strong enough to control two Beast-Rulers? With one in the peak stage... Even the grand Priests can't accomplish this feat."

"There's only one person that can control all stages of monsters." Kara revealed.

"You mean the Cursed Child?"

"You know that's how the grand priests proclaim him. Right?" Kara turned her head to the Dean.

"But you believe them, and you're after his head." The Dean said, moving his gaze around the forest.

"Imagine the powers and reputation I'll gain if I kill him. The Cursed Child... And there's news from the third Continent."

"News? What's it about?"

"Have you heard about the flags with the logo of a red sun?"

The Dean nodded. "I know it's related to the Cursed Child."

"Good that you know, The Cursed Child is known as Aaron, and his kingdom is called Terra."

"Terra."

The Dean repeated the name in a low voice, while Kara continued:

"The Demon Kingdom is already taken over, and my spies said they saw two Beast-Rulers during the battle... Well I won't call that a battle."

"When did you get this news?" The Dean asked in mild surprised.

"Some hours ago, I asked them to keep an eye of him, and report back to me every three hours."

"What If he discovered them?"

"That's on them... What we need to do now is get ready for war... He already took over the Demon Kingdom, which means, all the third Continent is in his hands--"

"--When do you think he'll Attack the first Continent?"

The Dean asked, already thinking of ways of stopping Aaron.

"I don't know. We just need to be on guard, anything can happen."

Kara sighed softly, and continued: "Two Beast-Rulers are already under him, and we knew nothing of his main Force, he didn't even use his army in the war against the Demon Kingdom."

"Kara, What If he knows about your spies?"

"That's not possible, my spies are one of the best, even a Transcendent can't detect them."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Kara said with 100% seriousness.

The Dean sighed deeply.

"A Transcendent can't control two Beast-Rulers, But Aaron did... So what made you think he can't detect your spies?"

Kara was silent, thinking about the Dean's words.

"So you're saying he didn't show his army because my spies were close by?"

The Dean nodded. "Aaron is one cunning Bastard."
