The Emperor stretched out his hands. Black and red energy circled around them as he glared at Felix. Immediately, all the guards around him had their eyes turning red and black. They were under his power.

"Take down that bastard right now," he ordered as they all attacked. About twenty of them had pulled out their weapons and struck.

Felix pulled backward with his sword. He adjusted his position to attack better, and only he was facing them all.

Kyle had both hands behind him, smiling and watching as Felix struggled to take on over twenty possessed demons.

They were not human. More like mutated demons who didn’t seem to be getting hurt or tired. Felix pierced his sword through their bodies, and they still kept coming, bleeding.

Felix stepped backward, panting as he stared at them. "What the hell..." He stared as he ran his sword through his palm, cutting for some blood that spilled onto the sword.

He had nourished it with his blood and watched it glow. Having done that, Felix waved his sword at them. Immediately, the blue light brushed through them and sent their bodies washing away in ashes.

They were soon gone, and only ashes were left. Felix had used a lot of strength and power for that, so as soon as they all fell into dust, he fell down on his knees, panting.

Kyle laughed as he stared at him. "Interesting. I never thought you were strong enough to defeat a bunch of zombies. But I guess I shouldn’t have underestimated you..." He smiled, approaching him. "But what now? You don’t seem strong enough to face me... do you?"

Felix looked up at him with a scoff, blood dripping from his lips. "Even if I die today, I’ll make sure I take your head with me!"

He raised his sword, violently waving it at Kyle to cut his head off, blue light dispersing through the atmosphere.

Kyle instantly moved backward in a flash and stood firm on his feet, both hands behind him as he stared at him with a smile. "You think that could get me?"

Felix didn’t stop there. He attacked with his sword, meticulously weaving it in attack, striving to hit Kyle.

But Kyle was faster. He dodged everything as though he could see right through his moves. Felix didn’t even touch him.

They had moved like that for minutes. Felix using all his strength to try to take down Kyle while Kyle dodged in every possible way.

Then Kyle disappeared into dust and appeared floating in the air as he looked down. "Aren’t you tired? You’ve been doing that for minutes, and if you’re not stopped, you’ll continue. Can’t you see it’s fruitless? You can’t get me like that," he laughed.

But Felix smiled as he stared up at him. "Why? I’m the one stressing. Why should you be concerned?" He ran his sword through his palms again, cutting his palm as he let the blood spill over it.

Kyle observed him.

Felix smiled. "You shouldn’t worry about me. Because even if I were to use all my blood today, I’ll make sure I take you down. I’ll make sure you pay for all you did to Eden!"

Felix had seen it all. In a vision the last time he held onto Eden, he could read through him, and he had seen his past.

He saw all he had gone through years back while his father left him alone with Kyle. He saw all Kyle did to him, and his anger grew. He couldn’t bear to see all the disgusting suffering Eden was put through by Kyle.

And he had only one task, even if it was his last: make Kyle pay.

Felix muttered to himself, tears rolling down his eyes as he furiously cut through his palm deeper, more blood flowing and nourishing the sword.

"I’m sorry... Sorry for not being there for you..." He said to himself as he felt the pain rush through his mind. He was excessively using the blood on the sword so he could get maximum performance at the expense of his health.

Even if he died from it, Felix didn’t care. All that mattered was getting revenge for Eden.

"I’m sorry for leaving you alone back then... I’m sorry..." He muttered as tears ran down his cheeks.

"Arhh!!" The blue light exploded from his sword as he waved it at Kyle.

Kyle stepped backward, using his powers to shield himself. But it hit him. He managed to shield a good portion, so he staggered backward and fell to his feet, blood dripping from his lips.

He smirked, but Felix wasn’t done. Felix attacked in full force with his sword, threatening to take him down. Kyle too knew he had to fight back and defend himself, so he pulled out his dark sword and fought as well.

The two of them exchanged power-filled sword strikes that sparked chaos throughout the room, sending sparks everywhere.

Felix hit Kyle in some places, but Kyle dodged most. Kyle had had enough of him. He glared at him as he said, "You annoying pest, what makes you think you can duel with me? You’re not worth it!"

He snapped as he angrily waved his sword at Felix. Its power hit him hard, and he flew backward, hitting his back against the wall and falling.

He lay on the floor, his sword falling to his side. The blue sword that had been emitting bright light had grown dim without any more energy as Felix lay there on the floor. He coughed out blood and struggled to get up. But Kyle came to stand on his fingers, crushing them as he groaned in pain.

Kyle smiled. "I should have killed you immediately when I saw you. You just came here to waste my precious time. Maybe if I had, the wizard of El would have been here by now."

He smiled as he raised his sword. "Your father has done a lot because of you. And I think it’s only fair you also suffer the consequences." He smiled. "In your next life, maybe find a better father." He was about to stab him from the back.

But the sword suddenly flew out of his hands and shattered into a thousand pieces.

Shocked, Kyle looked around, only to hear someone say:

"And who dares lay a finger on my husband?"
