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...
Elsewhere In the violet-leafed forest, many parts of the forest were covered in purple flames while multiple hiveling bodies laid lifeless on the ground and as this happened, a shadow figure walked past the bodies. Meanwhile in another section of the forest, two green streaks of light were swarming around and knocking down various trees and as the streaks flew into the air, they turned out to be Juni and Bleid, gaping at each other a bit far from one another. Juni and Bleid reaches the ground and the two charged towards each other and were blocking and evading each other's attacks and as they were fighting, the two began to move around as streak of lights again, causing glowing green glaciers and green bolts to appear randomly. Despite everything that was going on in the forest, Daeko, Rhan, Lumis and Rokan were still sitting and discussing with each other. "So you are saying he should be excused for his actions?" Lumis asked. "I am not saying that. If i was, then i will be excusing others for their heinous acts just because they are unwell." Daeko said, "I am just explaining his situation to you. Nothing more, nothing less. All he wanted to do was play music, but like every warrior in this world, his own abyss came and when it arrived, he was broken and remade.... Just like me." "Now he is no different from many of the other warriors." Daeko said during the time Bleid round kicked Juni's face. "Is that so?" Rhan asked, "When your master Balog introduced you to us, he assured us that we can trust you even though you are a human. Tell us, why do you fight against your own race? Do you have a vendetta with the humans, or are you simply just a traitor who is killing members of his own race?" "Loyalty to the human race because you are human... It doesn't work that way. If race alone was enough to earn loyalty then everyone would have been loyal to one another." Daeko said, "Unlike the others, i do not have anything personal against the human race; against the two that wronged me, yes, but humans as a whole, no. And as for me killing other humans, it is no different from humans killing themselves in a war, fight or other things. It's no different from a hiveling killing another hiveling." Zeinora's eyes rolls back at Daeko while Rokan gaped at him with a raised eyebrow. "Humph." Rhan said with crossed arms. "As i told you before, i will reveal myself when the time is right, until then everything about me will remain shrouded." Daeko said. "Alright then." Rhan said with a smile. "After all your talk, no one has offered up a solution on how to stop him." Zeinora said, "All i am seeing is one talking about abyss and mentality and the others complaining about Bleid but not doing anything to stop him." "So you have finally said something, huh?" Lumis asked, "It seems you have moved on from-" Lumis paused as he noticed the cold, yet vengeful stare in Zeinora's eyes which made him turn his face away. "Still as frightening as ever, Zeinora." Rokan said with a smirk, "You were waiting for us to come up with a solution for Bleid, all along?" "To be honest, i have no interest in what is happening, but i can't help but wonder how long you all intend to let him get away with this for the second time." "Hm?" Rokan said in confusion. "Second time? What are you talking about?" Lumis asked. "Bleid wasn't meant to be in this pocket realm. He got here through him being Bleid." Zeinora said. A flashback takes place as a battered male hiveling with a short black hair was on all fours, coughing out blood repeatedly and all of a sudden, Bleid punt kicks the head of the hiveling male with a yell, rendering the hiveling out cold. "That hiveling was supposed to be the one in this pocket realm, not Bleid but Bleid put him out of duty." Zeinora said after the remembrance. The revelation of Zeinora immediately left Rhan, Rokan and Lumis in shock. "Wait, Bleid wasn't... Why didn't you tell us all along?! Why didn't you stop him?!" Rhan asked. "You all denied me my revenge for uncle Basak, so why should i bother alerting you about Bleid's actions?" Zeinora asked. "So why are you telling us now?" Rokan asked. Zeinora stared at Rokan for a moment and turns her face away. "I don't know. Maybe because i share the same dislike for him. Or maybe it's because i have just grown tired of his actions." Zeinora answered, "So tell me, what will you do now?" Back at the section Juni and Bleid were fighting, Juni and Bleid dashed at one another with their fists set to attack but as Bleid throws his fist, Juni appeared behind him; Bleid twirls his body to kick Juni but Juni popped in the air and lands a backflip kick on his head that buried his face into the ground. "Die!" Juni said as she raised her aura covered leg high with the intention of delivering an axe kick to the back of the neck. Juni was suddenly halted as Bleid punched her abdomen which made her cough out and stare in shock as he stood upclose to her. "When... When did he...?" Juni asked inwardly. Bleid struck with a punch to her face that sent her flying and tumbling back but Juni stabilized herself and swiftly sent forth countless glowing green ice shards that moved at a blinding speed towards Bleid. However all the shards shattered as they made contact with Bleid's skin, which increased the shock of Juni. "They couldn't pierce him?" Juni asked within herself. Bleid bursts out with laughter while covering the left side of his face with his palm. "Did you honestly think they could pierce me to begin with?! I am from the Skurpion clan, Juni!!" Bleid said as he uncovered his right eye, "We members of the Skurpion clan have one of the best skin defences when it comes to piercing and cutting attacks." "So all those times..." Juni said within as she recalls all the scenes of herself sending shards of glowing at Bleid, "All those times i sent my ice to attack him, he always dodged or used his kan ability to destroy them but in reality, they could never harm him. He is still toying with me." "This bastard!" Juni said within herself as she grits her teeth. "Hey... Don't screw with me!" Juni said as she ran at Bleid to punch him. Bleid easily weaves her punch while smugly and Juni began to release a relentless series of attacks but Bleid easily weaves them all while chuckling. "I have to give you some credit, though. You did make me bleed with your fists." Bleid said while casually weaving her attacks, "If it wasn't for that damn Urokai female that negated the poison of the Skurpion clan, you would have been infected a long time ago. Hey, did you know that in the entire Skurpion clan, there are only three hivelings with poisons left? One died in the tournament of you humans when he chose to fight against a god and the other two are still fighting in the game." "JUNI!!!" Bleid said as he punched her across her face. Bleid released a quick combo of punches on Juni's face, chest, belly, arms, and legs and finalize everything with a punch to her cheek with his shellshock ability activated that turned her eyes pupilless. "No, this can't be happening." Juni said as she was falling to the ground, "I used a forbidden art to get stronger. My power is still growing, but why is this happening? I knew if i used this technique, my curse would still override the effects but i would still get stronger, so why is this happening? Is the gap between us that large? Does that mean i won't..." Juni recalls the face of Rico which made her grit her teeth again. "No!" Juni said inwardly as she regained her balance, therefore preventing herself from falling on the ground, "This is not over yet! I still have some fight left in me!!!" Juni charged at Bleid while bawling and the two began to strike each other continually with their fists and feet. As this went on, Juni attacked with a low roundhouse to Bleid's leg, making him lose balance, quickly follows her attack by grabbing his head and slamming her knee against his face. Juni instantly thrust Bleid's head in-between her thighs, hooks Bleid's arms behind his back and hoists him a bit for adjustment. Juni's right foot covered the ground with her glowing ice and a glowing green ice pillar sprang out underneath the two raised them high into the air rapidly. "Gah! My arms! My head! It hurts!" Bleid said within in pains at the time they were rapidly moving in the air, "What kind of technique is this?! It wasn't in the information given to us!!" "This technique is what i planned to use on Jagami as revenge for her diamond driver." Juni said within, "I waited for an opportunity to use this technique on her, but you turned out to be the first." "This is for Rico!" Juni said within as her irises glowed. "Keillax art: wheeling talons!" Juni said as she somersaults off the pillar with Bleid's head still in-between her legs. As Juni flips over the pillar with Bleid, Juni wheeled violently in midair in a speedy motion which turned into a rolling green ball of light that descended to the bottom and spawns a powerful wave that destroyed everything within and beyond the vicinity. Moments later, Juni was on the ground, panting while Bleid laid flat on his face with excessive blood flowing out of his head. Juni sat up and observed Bleid for a while as he laid inert on the ground with blood still flowing out of his head. "He is dead." Juni said to herself, "There is no way he would survive a fall that high and with the amount of blood rushing out, his death is inevitable." "Rico, my friend... You have been avenged." Juni said within as she closed her eyes. Juni makes efforts in standing on her feet but ends up falling on her knees while clutching her arm. "Dammit, my body...!" Juni said within herself, "It hurts. It hurts so much. But it hurts more when i think about you..." "Rico." Juni said within as tears trickled down her eyes, "If i had given more effort, i would have been able to save you from dying. I would prevented your death if i had just put in more effort. It was because of me the friendship between the four of us fell apart and now it is because of me you are dead. It's because of me..." Juni groaned in pain as she managed to stand on her feet and turns her back to walk away. However as this happened, Bleid stood on his feet with his head soaked in blood. Juni quickly sensed something wrong and as she turned back, she subconsciously stepped back in shock. "Wha-?!" "Pain awaits you!" Bleid said. "Dance to a thousand beats." Bleid said as he appeared behind Juni. Juni began to react to countless green sparks all over her body while yelling in agony. "Crochet!" Bleid said as he spreads his arms apart while a large green bolt was shot into the sky from behind. Smoke seeped out of Juni's mouth and eyes and Juni fell flat on her face. Bleid glanced at Juni while smiling and walks towards her. "You're pretty good." Bleid said as he squats, "To think you of all people would pull a trick like that to win is so amazing. I even blacked out for a while because of that move. However..." "It wasn't enough to win or avenge your friend." Bleid said with a grin as his eyes glowed. "That's enough." A masculine voice said. Bleid lifts his head and sees the person to be Rokan, who happened to be accompanied by Lumis, Rhan and Zeinora. "Stand down, Bleid." Lumis said, "We don't want to this situation to be messed up any further." "What are you doing?" Bleid asked as he stood on his feet. "We are supposed to be asking the same thing." Rhan said, "We were tasked with observation but you ran off to do your own thing and plus, you weren't even supposed to be in this realm." "Oh, you found out?" Bleid asked. "Zeinora told us everything." Rhan replied. "Bleid, stand down and we can resolve this peacefully." Rokan said. "And if i don't?" Bleid asked. "Then we will have to use force." Rokan answered. Bleid grins deviously with his eyes glowing and Rhan facepalms himself. "Oh boy." Rhan said. Before anything could happen, Bleid felt something holding his ankle which turned out to be an exhausted Juni. "I ... Must... Avenge him." Juni weakly said, "I must avenge Rico..." "I must..." Juni said at the time Bleid stared down at her with a raised brow. "I... Must..." Juni said as tears were flowing out of her eyes. "Garl... Rico... Van..." Juni said as she recalls their faces, "I am so sorry..." Juni loses consciousness and laid flat on the ground. Silence filled the atmosphere as the hivelings stared down at Juni's unconscious body and in that moment, the sound of an explosion occured, prompting the hivelings to glance back and find the parts of the section ablaze with purple flames. A shadow figure stepped out of the flames, leaving Rokan, Rhan and Lumis in shock. "Something is not right, here." Rhan said, "This wasn't the time for you to come out..." "Qintari." Rhan said as Van's eyes (which were like that of a hiveling) glowed.
