The bloulder was launched at Bell. The Son of Zeus shot a powerfull magnum bolt to turned the rock into pieces. The unharmed stranger leaped at Bell with a fist.
Bell caught it and he tried punch him but was caught as well. Both of fighters pressed their hands and fists into a competion of strength. The ground beneath their feet cracked.
"You know," The stranger said. "When Czernobog sent me here. I just needed you to cooperate. But you! You had to act so proud throw whatever you have against me! But I'll keep comin. That frail body will give out and before I end this. I want you to know one thing. I can't feel any of this!"
The stranger broke Bell's grip and punched him. Bell stumbled and usheathed his sword and lodged it through the older man's shoulder. Before it could any deeper, He stopped the sword with his hands making it halfway deep. Bell poured electricity into the blade and passed onto the stranger and his sword became as it in a high temparature.
The stranger began to push the sword out his body. Bell gritted his teeth as the stranger removed the red hot blade from his body.
"Pathetic!" The stranger broke the sword.
The man used the blade to cut him. Bell dodged his attacks but his right cheek was grassed in a searing cut. He was stabbed by the lap before the stranger punched him off his feet. He dropped the blade and moved torwards Bell.
Bell barely manange to stand because of injured leg. He was grabbed by the throat and was lifted into the air.
"I'd hoped that you of everyone I've faced, would finally make feel something." He spat." But you can't!"
The son of Zeus could not catch his breath as he gripped the arm. But he mustered a few words.
"Ach... then atleast, I should go for the head!?" He smirked.
Bell summoned a small chain of lightning and latched onto the hilt of the broken with the stranger knowing. He pulled into his grasps and used his free arm to grapple the stranger's face and electrocuting him despite his lack to feel pain.
Bell plunched his blade into the skull and was now ontop of him. He generated so much to electrocute the stranger through his hand and blade. The older man tried to push him off but he could not as the large amount electricty coursing his body cause his hands to spasm.
"AHHHHHH!" A tendril of lightning descended from the sky and struck the hilt.
This caused the man's head to explode causing an electro-magnetic shockwave that launched Bell away and caused the trees to lean back and loosing most of its leaves.
Bell groaned and lifted himself up with his leg healed up. He looked at the headless corspe with no emetions.
"Who is he?"
"How did he know I was a half blood?"
"Did he know of my past?"
These were all the questions that came into his head. But none of them matters anymore, he had to get home to see that his dad was safe.
A few moments later
Bell passed through the villagers and ignored their looks at his battered appearance. To them, it was a surprise to see someone walk perfectly fine after a brutal beatdown that no other blessed individual can take.
He moved infront the door of his house and knocked.
"Bell!" Zeus greeted. "How ya doi-aaaghhh!"
"Hey dad."
After explaing the whole thing.
Bell sat at the table with Zeus wipping off the blood of the wound on his cheek with wet towel.
"Well that's gonna leave scar." Zeus said and put the towel in bowl of water.
"Well it's about time that got myself a battle scar." Bell joked.
However Zues was not laughing. "You said that "Czernobog" sent him?"
"Yeah you know him?"
Zues sighed. "The Czernobog familia are apart of the Evilius."
"The Evilius!?" Bell widened his eyes. "Then if that's true then why wasn't he at Orario back at your time?"
"Hermes, Hera, and myself always knew that Evilius was larger group never in one place." His father said. "So it's not just Orario they just stationed in. There are more branches in Melen, Rakia, Telskyura and even more."
"Does Ouranos know?" Bell asked.
"His only concern was sealing the dungoen," He answered. "And if we told him then he will have us hunt until all of them are dead."
Bell care less about what happens to the city after the betrayal of his friends. But he knows that the Evilius are also the cause of his death.
"I'm guessing the Czernobog Familia are the Evilius branch of Nordheim?"
"Maybe," Zeus stroked his beared. "Czernobog would definitely send more after you. So I just you should prepare of what comes next son."
Bell nodded and rose from his seat.
Back at the ruined hut
A group men looked around in the area where Bell fought the stranger. One them inspected at the headless body.
"Lord Czernobog is not gonna like this captain."
"We underestimsted the half-blood," The human leader of the squad reminded. "And for that mistake, we lost our most valuable asset."
The elf member of the group said. "Well Brutus always wanted to die and got his wish. So it's a win for him."
The captain scoffed. "And a loss, If we come back empty handed then Lord Czernobog would turn us into his lab rats if you don't start looking! It's bad enough that Brutus is dead so move your asses!"
"Captain!"
All eyes turned to the dwarf with a upper part of a sword covered in blood.
"Give it here!?" The captian demanded.
The dwarf gave the blade to the human. He took out the cloth and wiped the blood off of the blade. Everyone looked at the bloodstained cloth as if it was worth billions.
"Lord Czernobog will reward us handsomely for this."
