Chapter 36

The two high ranked scorpions continued to watch Zariyah in the shadows. They wanted to see the extent of the silver haired young miss of the Silverglaze family's capabilities. They wanted to witness how long was her endurance and what she can do more that will surprise Kazuto and Sheolle.

Kazuto was meticulously eyeing his woman as steam boiled up from the ice that rained down to the silver haired young miss. The crimson haired young man noticed that the magic users were giving and transferring their magic essence to the crown prince. And the arrogance and confidence of the heir of the Klearione kingdom dominated because of the newly received powers.

The priests and priestesses used the steam that was surrounding the silver haired young miss to do a counter attack. Strong surging light element powers engulfed the people of the church, and casted a top tier binding spell, that they only used in subduing high ranked demons and monsters.

"I'll kill them before they kill Zariyah." Sheolle stated in a concern voice.

Kazuto locked his gazed to the pink haired young woman and the seriousness of the crimson haired young man was reflecting in Kazuto Hiryuu's eyes. His gaze was telling Sheolle to never interfere in Zariyah's fight. If they interfere, Zariyah would divulge herself as a weakling and doesn't have the ability to even win her fight.

"Don't interfere, World End. This is Zariyah's fight." That was said by Kazuto Hiryuu in a low voice as if giving Sheolle his warning voice.

If the two high ranked scorpions ended up fighting, Klearione kingdom would be erased from the map of Greffania. For both of them have unfathomable powers within them. None of the two members of the scorpions were push overs.

The people and different creatures living around the continents of Greffania were the one who gave World End to Sheolle. For she really has the ability to end a country with her unparried psychic powers. She was the strongest of all the espers and psychic users in the world of Greffania.

"Tch." Sheolle snickered and rolled her eyes and continued to be a spectator of the fiasco that was still happening in the banquet hall.

The accumulated magic essences that were transferred to the crown prince, was absolute and powerful. He smirked in confidence as he locked his gazed to the silhouette of Zariyah, who was still surrounded by the thick steam. He then took that chanced to invoke a powerful spell.

The snapping of the roaring and ferocious electricity was coursing in Arthur's body, and it scared some of the crowd, while others were cheering him to kill Zariyah.

Not long after, countless powerful bolts of lightning rained down and hit Zariyah's back, electrocuting her in the process. It was so strong that Zariyah cried in pain as she felt the lightning graced her body.

Zariyah's body was thrown out because of the impact of the attack coming from the crown prince. Zariyah knew the crown prince was powerful, but she couldn't believe that he was powerful enough to cause a huge damage on her.

Zariyah's eyes were kind of blurry because of all the fatigue going on around her body. And she felt very weak. She wanted to stand up but her body was completely paralyzed by Arthur's countless powerful lightning attacks.

"Now you see the difference of waging war against the Klearione kingdom." Arthur said in a mocking voice and in an instantly he appeared in front of Zariyah who was now lying down on the floor.

Arthur raised his right foot and stepped down Zariyah's head. Even though Zariyah was paralyzed, she was still gritting her teeth and hatred burst in her eyes.

"No matter what you do, you're always remain as a trash in this kingdom." Arthur Pendragon smirked and lifted his fist which was engulfed by a powerful surging lightning magic.

Tears of anger gathered in Zariyah's eyes as she once again felt powerless. After all she has done, she was still weak and not able to destroy those who've looked down and destroyed her image and reputation. Those who have hurt her and tortured her emotionally.

"If this continues, Zariyah is going to die! If you won't help her, then I will!" Sheolle said in a frustrated voice.

Kazuto knew that what Sheolle said was absolutely right. If this continues he would surely loose his future wife and the holder of the God tier appraising skill called <<God's Eyes>>. And he won't risk Zariyah's life; she has a great role and purpose in Kazuto Hiryuu's life.

Kazuto saw that the crown prince, Arthur was going to deliver a straight punch which engulfed with every bit of his powers, which would end Zariyah's life. The silver haired young miss closed her eyes and was waiting for the punch.

"Die!" Arthur shouted and Zariyah felt the powerful energy coming towards her.

In a blink of an eye, Kazuto's figure vanished from the shadows and instantly caught the crown prince balled fist that would surely kill his bride. The crowd gasped in shock and bewildered because of Kazuto's sudden appearance.

Even the crown prince were loss for words because he felt powerless against this stranger in front of him. When both Arthur and Kazuto locked their gazes. Fear instantly crept in Arthur's eyes.

If their powers were to be compared, it was like comparing an ant to an elephant. The vast Haki sleeping within Kazuto's body was making the crown prince crown powers overhelmed by Kazuto's surging power that was circulating around him.

The crowd was flabbergasted and bewildered because Kazuto managed to negate and erased the surging power that was gathering in the fist of the crown prince. And the women were captivated at how dashing and handsome the mysterious person.

An evil smirk graced Kazuto's lips when he noticed the fear in the crown prince eyes. And Arthur was quivering under Kazuto Hiryuu's gaze. The still, the crown prince didn't back down instead Arthur, the crown prince mustered his courage and returned the intensity of Kazuto's gaze back at him.

But before the crown prince can make his counter attack, Kazuto immediate throw a low punch in Arthur's stomach, sending the crown prince away and loudly crushed in the brick walls.

The powerful sound of crushing echoed in the entire banquet hall and everyone was speechless of what they all witnessed. They didn't expect that someone would save Zariyah from her impending doom.

Silence won over once again, and the crowd's laughing victory was shortly lived. The crowd glanced at the crown prince with worriedness and concern in their eyes. And the king couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing. His son, who was given the title Demon Slayer and a prodigy and have ranked S mana was easily thrown away, crushing in the brick wall with just a single normal punch.

Kazuto heaved a deep sigh because he really didn't intend to join the farce between Zariyah and the citizen of her land, but he doesn't want to watch his woman plummeted to death. Kazuto glanced at Zariyah's body which was still under the effect of paralysis due to the countless lightning that rained down on her.

She was like a clueless little lamb unlike the fierce lioness earlier. Kazuto smiled at the thought that Zariyah was like a little lamb. The crowd was still clueless on who was this stranger, who suddenly appeared and punched their crown prince.

"Hey, you're safe now. You can open your eyes." Kazuto said in a low husky voice said.

Even though Zariyah's eyes were closed. Kazuto knew that the silver haired young miss was conscious.

Kazuto kneeled down to scoop Zariyah in his arms, which was lying on the ground. The silver haired young miss flinched upon contact of their skin. Then Zariyah instantly opened her eyes and found Kazuto's crimson red orbs locking it gazed to hers.

When she saw the man carrying her in his arms, Zariyah's heart instantly pound twice its normal rate and she felt that her blood rushed to her head and steam were now coming from her ears.

She was blushing because of embarrassment, for the man was carrying her like a bride!

The first thing that comes up to Zariyah's mind, she thought that she was dead and this guy who was carrying her was the angel. The young guy who carried him was so dashing that any men in the world would pale in comparison to him. Zariyah felt an imaginary lump formed in her throat that was making her unable to speak.

When Zariyah saw the crumbling banquet hall, she immediately realized that she was still alive and speculated that the young guy who was carrying her was the one who saved her from Arthur's lightning punch. The silver haired young miss of the Silverglaze family also noticed Arthur lying on the floor meters away from her and the mysterious guy's position.

Not only that, Zariyah felt the danggering glare coming from her half-sister who was now have a burnt face. Zariyah just rolled her eyes at Veronica and in her peripheral vision, she saw arch duke Lucas getting up from the ground and was now conscious.

'<<Great Sage>> Ailment status screen!' Zariyah mentally said to her support main system.

<<Great Sage>> instantly scanned Zariyah's body, and an autopsy report displayed in a status window popped in front of her.

Ailment: Paralyses [30 seconds], Heaven Chain of Binding [two minutes], Mana Essence [Sealed] Reiatsu [Sealed] Haki [Sealed]

[Due to the sealed mana essence and reiatsu, Haki is not available to be used.] The support system stated to her. Zariyah just have to wait for two minutes in order to gain back her powers.

Kazuto helped Zariyah stood up and supported her. The silver haired young miss was still bewildered why she was still alive. And wondering who this man who came to her aid was.

When she was able to swallow the building lump which was enabling her to speak, she instantly looked at Kazuto Hiryuu's eyes. The moment Zariyah's golden orbs met Kazuto's crimson red eyes; a mysterious force suddenly ran through Zariyah's body. It felt like that a mysterious power was pulling her to stare more at Kazuto's ruby crimson pair of orbs.

"W-Who are you?" Zariyah said in a low voice that was something comparable to a whisper.

Zariyah's face was so red that an over ripped tomato would pale in comparison to Zariyah's current situation.

The intimidating and ferocious Queen of Catastrophe was now long gone, and what have left was the usual Zariyah Silverglaze. All of her ominous blood lust and demonic aura vanished without leaving a single trace of it because of this young man who showed up when she was about to die.

Kazuto looked at Zariyah and a playful smirk graced his lips. Some of the women who saw Kazuto Hiryuu's godly smile instantly fell for him. He was a sought after guy, and everything around him screams for confidence, power and intimidation.

A real alpha man.

"Your husband." Kazuto teased the silver haired young miss and something within Zariyah broke.

The poor silver haired young miss was bewildered in aghast at what she just heard from the mysterious young guy who saved her from Arthur made her mind stopped from thinking.

What made Zariyah's eyes open widely and made her mouth gaped open was the sight of Kazuto sexily winking on her. Zariyah felt the waist band of her panty just snapped and severed.

More steams came out from Zariyah's ears when Kazuto ruffled her head before patting her. Zariyah was once again loss for words, and her weakness against handsome guys was proven again for the third time by Kazuto. Her Ezekiel-sensei and Shouto were enough to make her bewildered, and now she was experiencing it again but it was more intense that what she experience from Shouto and her master Ezekiel.

Zariyah's heart was pounding trice its normal rate as if feral horses were racing inside her heart. The caterpillars in her stomach metamorphose and turned into butterflies, and were now fluttering inside her.

"Kill them both!" the king bloodshot eyes were glaring at Kazuto and Zariyah.

Zariyah watched as Kazuto's carefree demeanor changed into a serious and ominous façade. Kazuto's presence was screaming of evil and death. The crowd felt that Kazuto was the grim ripper and came to take all of their lives.

The knights instantly lunged forward to attack the mysterious crimson haired and crimson eyed young guy. But before the men could take another step, all of the heads came rolling in the floor when Kazuto's figure vanished.

The mages were looking for Kazuto and were ready to attack him, but then, Kazuto's figure materializes behind the head of the mages. The crimson haired young man instantly got hold of the leader of the arch mages' throat and fear instantly crept in her eyes.

"W-Who are you?!" the head of the arch mages managed to utter her question while fear was reflecting in her eyes.

A sadistic smile graced in Kazuto's face, making him both handsome and dangerous. If Zariyah was not in a complicated situation, she will definitely won't get tired of staring at the ikemen in front of her.

"Kazuto Hiryuu, ranked three of the deadliest and most dangerous crime organization, the scorpions." Kazuto said in an evil and playful voice.

Everyone eyes widened in shock and they were all speechless. Even Zariyah was staring at Kazuto in a dumbfounded expression. She never expected that she will meet another member of the scorpions aside from Machi who was her bestfriend and Shalnark the string user. Not only that, he was the rank three among the twelve members of the scorpions!

Kazuto wasn't bothered and scared by the horrified gazes that were focus on him. Instead, Kazuto transformed both of his hands into his dragon claws, which was fully equipped by hard draconic black scales and sharp dragon talons. He then tightened his grip in the head of the arch mages' throat breaking it and beheading her on the process.

Blood drenched and soaked Kazuto Hiryuu's hand, and it wasn't a big deal to him. The female mages screamed in fear but Kazuto instantly quiet them down by slashing his sharp claws at them.

The crowd and the royal king could only watch as the mages were slaughtered like a pigs. After killing all of the mages, he then turned around enough to registered Zariyah in his line of sight.

"Did you know why you almost died earlier, my wife?" Kazuto trailed off and seriously watched at Zariyah. "It was because deep within your heart, you still hesitate to kill these people who have deemed you worthless."

A pang of realization hit her like a lightning and struck her mind. What Kazuto said was actually true. Her heart couldn't kill her party members whom she trusted during their adventure to look for the materials and ingredients for the antidote.

Zariyah don't know why this mysterious young ikemen was lecturing her, and all of suddenly proclaiming himself as her husband. Though it was surprising, having this young man her husband was a win win situation for her.

He's handsome and reliable as well as powerful and intimidating. Though he this stranger was a member of that well known gang of killers called Scorpions. And her ex-fiancé, the crown prince, Arthur Pendragon would never win in all aspects if he was going to be compared to the crimson haired young guy.

When the status ailment paralysis effects stopped, Zariyah instantly summoned her katana in her <<Dimensional Box>>. The silver haired young miss couldn't use her haki because it was still sealed thanks to the priests and priestesses who have performed a top tier sealing and binding spell on her. Now, with new resolve she will never hesitate anymore or else she's going to lose her life.

The moment she held her katana in her hands, she instantly leaped towards the group of priests and priestesses who were still chanting their mantras to extend the duration of the seals. Even though the people of the order of the light sealed her ability, it's not a liability to her. She was already use of not using magic back then, that was why she was under the tutelage of her master Ezekiel. She was a swordswoman first before she became one of the supreme commanders of the yokai world who used Reiatsu and Haki.

The priestesses screamed in fear, when Zariyah's figure materialized in front of them with her sword benizakura in her right hand. Her eyes turned feral and untamed. The elegant and sophisticated high noble Zariyah was no more. What in front of the people of the church was the personification of death.

Benizakura has a western-lookinf red and black hand guard and the traditional Japanese yellow and golden-colored plates on the hilt, which end in a very ornate, elegant, carved pommel. The lacquered sheath was red and has several small bells tied to the end of the scabbard where it meets the blade's hilt. The sword has the abilty to cut throw anything upon contact and it was one of Zariyah's deadly weapons that were stored in her personal space box.

"<<Heavenly Sword Style: one slash thousand cuts>>" Zariyah casted her sword skill in a low cold voice.

The moment the blade of the sword touched Zariyah's target, their bodies instantly turned tidbits with just a single slash. The nobles and aristocrats who were rejoicing for Zariyah's defeat earlier were now all cowering in fear. Because even though Zariyah's powers were still sealed, she was able to kill the priestesses which just her swordsmanship alone.

The nobles who were present with the royal meeting, days ago and watched Zariyah murdered and slew the gangs of demons who have attacked their caravan was now the same as that Zariyah before. The driving force which kept her going was to murder and slay all of them.

Kazuto watched the silver haired young miss kill one person to another. With this, Zariyah would be deemed as a murderer and her name and face would be posted in the wanted posters and bounty hunters would come to her for the price above her head. The more humanity pushed and drives her to the brink; asking and persuading Zariyah to join the scorpions would be an easy feat for him.

"Kill that man! Kill him now!" The king shouted and was now waiting for the arrival of his gargantuan army.

The king's arrogance disappeared; he never anticipated that Zariyah has someone capable of defeating his son, who was deemed stronger than Zariyah's brother. The royal knights surrounded Kazuto, but instead of feeling scared, the crimson haired young man was grinning like a mad man. As if the royal knights would spice up his night. The archers shoot their arrows at him, but Kazuto just gave them an evil smile that curled the stomachs of the crowd.

Six ebony black wings protruded from his back and clasped it in a protective manner around him, and then the arrows were all deflected when it comes to contact in his six beautiful clasped wings.

Everyone was speechless as they saw six wings sprout out in Kazuto's back. Even Zariyah stopped from her killing streaks because she was shock and amazed at the same time. All of their eyes widened in shock, mouth opened in gape and loss for
