The story talks about a young boy known as Cloud who aspired to become the greatest pilgrim warrior in Agaroth (the first warrior realm of mankind) despite his flaws, however there is more that meets the eyes as Agaroth is on the brink of extinction...
With the results of the battle, Juni stared at Bleid with tear-filled eyes as he held the beheaded Rico with an evil smirk. "No…! No! No! No!!" Juni said with a tearful voice. "You sang well." Bleid said to Rico's head, "You and Juni gave me a decent melody. Too bad you couldn't continue with the rhythms. Bleid activates his shellshock ability and directs the green bolts into Rico's head, causing it to pop like a balloon, leading Juni's eyes to widen in horror. "This is the end." Bleid said. "Now, shall we continue?" Bleid asked as he turns his attention to Juni while smiling. Juni gazed at the ground with an expression filled with despair as her tears fell on the ground. "No…!" Juni said within as she recalls a nighttime scene of her, Rico, Van, and Garl sitting together near firewood in Xenob forest and laughing together. "No…!" Juni said within as she recalls a scene of Rico lending a helping hand to her at the time she laid battered on the ground. "No…!!" Juni said within as she recalls a scene of her wrapping her arms around Rico's neck while grinning. "No…!!!" Juni said within as she remembers the scene of Bleid holding the head of Rico. Juni had a final remembrance of Rico glancing at her while grinning with closed eyes. "Rico…" Juni said within herself. A flashback takes place in the night as Juni was sitting on the ground of a room with her legs crossed while reading a scroll in front of her. As Juni was reading, Koah (from chapter 72) walks in and stares at Juni with curiosity. "What are you reading?" Koah asked. "A forbidden art scroll." Juni answered. "A what?! How did you get your hands on that?!" Koah asked in shock, "You shouldn't be reading it at all! There is a reason why it is labeled as forbidden! We could get in trouble if we're found out!" "Calm down, Koah. No one will know as long as the information remains here." Juni said, "By the way, i am almost done with learning it. "Almost done? Wait, how long have you been with it?" Koah asked in confusion. "For almost two weeks now." Juni answered. "Two weeks? I have been your partner, sharing the same room with you and you had this scroll for almost two weeks and i didn't know?" Koah asked with a raised eyebrow. "You could say that, plus, you are not a light sleeper." Juni said. "Huh?! What are you talking about? I am a very light sleeper!" Koah said as she placed her hands on her waists. "Then how do you explain the two weeks?" Juni asked. Koah raised her arm to answer the question but due to her being unable to think of an answer, she brought down her arm. "Well played." Koah said with crossed arms, "Tell me, what is the art all about?" "Forbidden keillax art: fallen feathers. A technique that is capable of giving an incredible boost of power but at the cost of shaving the years of the user's life." Juni answered. "So the user of this technique will grow stronger but at the cost of reducing his or her amount of years? That's one heck of a price to pay." Koah said. "It's called a forbidden art for a reason." Juni replied while she was still reading the scroll. "Yes, it is. Wait, you're not planning on using it, are you?" Koah asked. "Of course not. I don't think i would ever use it." Juni said. "Yet." Koah said. "Hm?" Juni said as she lifts her head to gaze at Koah. "I have been in a situation where i did something i assured myself i would never do in combat and up till now, i still feel guilty when i think about it." Koah said, "There are many people that had to cross the line they vowed they would never cross because of the tight situation they were in. Some regretted it, some didn't and some didn't live long enough to feel it. You say you will never use it but what if you are in an extremely tight situation, would you use it? Would you use the knowledge you have learned to help yourself and save others? As i mentioned earlier, i did something i vowed i would never do, but it was to protect those precious to me. "Where are you going with this, Koah?" Juni asked. Koah stared at Juni for a while and sighed. "Never mind. Good night, Juni." Koah said as she heads towards her bed. "Her words… Why did i remember her words at a time like this?" Current Juni asked inwardly at the time she was still staring at the ground in despair, "Was it because i wasn't strong enough to save Rico, or was it because i didn't give everything i had to do so? Regardless, i should have done better in helping him. He knew what he was getting into but he still insisted and gave his all, but i didn't do the same. Rico is dead because i hesitated." "He is dead because of me…" Juni said within as she clenched her fists so hard to the point she was bleeding. "Why did i hesitate?" Juni asked within herself as she closed her eyes, "Why?! Why?!! Why?!!!" During the time Juni was speaking within, Bleid who happened to be walking towards her, paused as Juni began to emit a fierce green aura. "Oh? What the hell is this?" Bleid asked with a smug smirk. "Rico's death falls on me for hesitating, but his death also falls on this bastard!" Juni said within as she grits her teeth, "I may have failed in protecting you, but i swear i will avenge you!! I will not let your death go unpunished! Not while i am still breathing!!" "This odd feeling seems to be growing." Bleid said within himself, "Does she want to give me a further entertainment?" "Hey, Juni, what-" "Shut up!" Juni angrily cuts in. "I shouldn't hesitated! I should have used everything i had to snuff you out instead of trying to beat information out of you!" "This time i will!" Juni said as she raised her head, showing an expression filled with rage and grief while her irises glowed. Juni threw the blood of her right hand on the ground, weaved a couple of hand signs and slammed her right palm on the ground of where she threw her blood. "Ra'shehnemon!" Juni said with a deepened voice. In an instant, Juni's aura shot into the sky, catching the attention of Daeko, Zeinora and the other hivelings that were supposed to be observing the fight in this violet-leafed forest. "Hm?" Daeko said. "What is this odd pressure?" Rhan asked. Back at the section Bleid and Juni were in, Bleid was smiling and laughing with excitement. "This is amazing! This is amazing, Juni!" Bleid said, "The symphonies are going wild! I can feel the wildness of your power!! Do it! Get stronger! Make the music play louder and louder!!!" A deepened bawl resonated and blew away everything within the section, but Bleid stood unfazed and as this was happening, a great spawn of light shone. After the light had gone, several obstacles were frozen with green ice that were glowing and Bleid grinned as Juni stood with her face being overshadowed while discharging her aura as her hair that was reduced to a bobcut, turned black and grew longer with yellow tips as it flew wildly. Juni opened her eyes and her eyes shone brightly; Juni's scleras were cyan green while her glowing green irises were shining as bright as a twinkling star. "I wasn't given any information about this form." Bleid said, "Did you hide it or did you-" "Shut up." Juni cuts in again, "I don't want to hear your voice right now. The only thing i want is to make you pay for what you have done. As for your little music and rhythms you talk about so much, i shall write you a new song. A new rhythm. "But it shall be of your death." Juni said with a scowl, "Now come. Bleid smirked, charged towards Juni and began to release a torrent of punches and kicks but Juni blocks them with ease. As Bleid was still trying to hit Juni, Juni started to block all of his attacks with one hand and sent him skidding back with a back-fist. Blend steadies himself and immediately notice the blood trickling down his lips which left him a bit surprised. "Not bad." Bleid said with a smile Bleid advanced towards Juni at high speed and hurls his fist but Juni easily stops his punch. Bleid chuckles and quickly used his other hand in attempt to punch Juni but Juni punched him first which sent him violently rolling back. Bleid balanced himself but Juni showed up at his back and lands a reverse round house kick that made him slide at the side of his head. Bleid quickly stands on his feet but as soon as it happened, Juni appeared in his front, only for Bleid to attack with a roundhouse kick but Juni easily caught his leg and swiftly punched him in the diaphragm, thus sending him to crash back-first on a tree. Bleid fell on one knee and coughed out while clutching his belly and as he lifts he lifts his head, he takes notice of Juni staring at him with a cold glare. "What's wrong, not going to fight?" Juni asked, "If you are not going to make a move, then i will." Juni charged at Bleid and swung her fist but Bleid instantly rolls out of the way, leaving Juni's fist to shatter the tree and create a rift that caused other trees to fall into it. Bleid steadied himself but as soon as it happened, he was met with an uppercut from Juni that raised him to stand on his feet and attacks with a punch to his chest that caused green light to pass through, which made him cough out in pain. Juni began to unload rapid strikes on his body that was making various green lights pass through and complete her attacks as she lands with a middle kick to Bleid's abdomen that propelled him to crash back-first on another tree. "Noiya: Dashi'menton!" Juni said as strikes with a double punch to Bleid's chest and gut. The attack created a green shockwave that tossed Bleid several meters away and made him violently crash through countless obstacles. Bleid leaned against a tree, clasping his chest and gut, while coughing. "That last move hurts!" Bleid said inwardly while grinning in pain, "This is a completely different Juni i am battling." "Still what is that form of hers?" Bleid asked within as he recalls Juni's new looks, "There was nothing like that given in the information about her. Was she hiding it all along or did it just happen out of chance?" "And her power..." Bleid said within himself as he recalls the moment of Juni striking him rapidly while green lights were passing through his body, "It was increasing abnormally as she was striking. Could it be the effect of the new form or could it be emotional stimulation? Kan power levels can rise with extremely deep emotions and she is clearly filled with so much grief and rage; not to mention i broke her when i talked about her curse. Or maybe it could be both, but it doesn't matter to me, because right now..." "It makes me want to fight her some more!" Bleid said with a twisted smile as his eyes glowed. Bleid instinctively dodged a glowing green ice shard and momentarily stared at it as it was pinned to the ground. Bleid quickly turns and sights Juni hovering in the air with green outline around her body and multiple glowing green ice shards surrounding her. Juni wastes no time and sends all the shards down at Bleid at a blinding speed, cutting down everything in it's path but Bleid dodged every last. Nonetheless, Juni popped in front of him and lands a powerful punch on his cheek that threw him back and as soon as Bleid steadied himself, Bleid dashed at Juni and began to release a fury of punches and kicks but Juni was still blocking them all with one hand. Juni stopped Bleid in his tracks with an uppercut to his belly and sent him rolling across the ground with a roundhouse kick. Bleid leveled himself and noted Juni staring at him with a flouride stare and crossed arm. "You are still not fighting seriously, correct?" Juni asked, "Get serious. No plays. No more jokes. No more fooling around. You have crossed a line you shouldn't have and you are going to pay for it with your life. An eye for an eye, right? You are going to die and there is no god or goddess, no power in the heavens, worlds or hells that can change your fate. This is your end and i am not going to stop until you become a paste of blood on my fists and feet." "Now come!" Juni commanded with a deepened voice as her irises shone brighter.
