Chapter 103 - Bias Gerz (2)

Asil looked at Bias Gerz for a moment before he could get over the shock of suddenly changing events. After getting angry at himself for suspecting him, he ran up to Bias Gerz. In a situation like this, leaving the person who helped alone and run away was something Asil couldn't do, no matter what!

Asil quickly approached Bias Gerz but at that moment three men from the left and two from the right attacked him. After escaping three of the attacks with rapid maneuvers, he attacked the neck of the man in the sixth level of the elementary profound realm, the weakest person around and on the left, killing him on the spot, despite the risk of being harmed by the other two.

He lost his balance due to blows to his right shoulder and abdomen after carrying out this attack and stumbled several steps. At that moment four more men approached the Asil and attacked him, along with four others who were already around him. Although Asil knew he would be harmed by the swords in his two hands, he continued to attack the weakest and soon killed three more. In doing so, however, he himself had been severely damaged.

On the other side, Bias Gerz's situation was more difficult. Out of the twenty-four men who came to Asil's side, sixteen were attacking Bias Gerz. Even though there were people elementary profound realm, it was never easy to attack and defend against so many people alone.

As time progressed, the situation that Asil and Bias Gerz were in got worse and worse. A few minutes later, Asil was dragged back to the edge of the cliff by meters due to a hard kick to the stomach. Bias Gerz was laid face down by the men around him just seconds after this incident. By the time this happened, Bias Gerz and Asil had killed seven of the weakest of the group of twenty-four and seriously wounded two others.

Asil got up slowly after being thrown to the edge of the cliff by a kick to the stomach. But there was no strength left in his body to attack. Bias Gerz, on the other hand, was almost incapable to move because he was kept in a situation where he could lose both arms in the slightest movement and was tired. This war had become impossible for them to win or to escape.

When the situation was brought under control, one of the men near Bias Gerz spat on his head and angrily yelled: "Boring old fart! It wouldn't hurt if you gave yourself up like a man! Why the fuck did you try so hard? You will die no matter what you do today for meddling in Lord Baran's business! My comrades are dead because of what you did. I will kill you slowly and painfully!"

After the man shouted, he turned his head and looked towards the Asil and continued to speak shouting: "And you, little bastard... Master Baran told us to find you, too. But I never thought we'd meet in a place like this! You have two options: Either you tell us how you got so strong in such a short time, or we'll kill you and learn your secrets from your dead body!"

After the man's words, Asil he said nothing, and with no strength left in him, he raised his arms a little and took up a defensive position. When the man saw this, an angry and condescending expression appeared on his face, and he proceeded towards the Asil to kill him in one blow.

Although Asil he stood in a defensive position as the man approached him, he knew best that he had no strength to defend himself. He was going to die the moment he attacked him, and there was nothing he could do to stop it!

The man came within a meter of Asil and stabbed his sword into his chest! As the advancing sword tore through the human body accompanied by the sound of a tear, Asil's weak body suddenly contracted and his eyes widened. Amid the surrounding silence, warm human blood quickly flowed to the ground.

"Se... Senior Bias..." Asil looked at the smiling old man in front of him and barely spoke. The man's sword attack was coming to him and he was about to die. But at that moment, Bias Gerz, lying on the ground, even though his two arms were to be amputated and got between the man and the Asil, allowing the sword blow to stick in his own chest instead of the Asil. No one expected that to happen. At that moment, everyone was reluctantly looking at Bias Gerz and waiting for him to say something.

"Thank god you are okay..." Bias Gerz breathed happily despite the sword entering his back and exiting his chest and his amputated arms. As the blur in his eyes slowly grew, he wanted to say something to Asil: "You know, when I first met you, I thought of my grandson. You gave me half your bread... That's when I saw my grandson. You really look like him." A deep sadness slowly overtook Bias Gerz and Asil. But there was actually no reason for him to be upset. He lived in the world for a long time, saw a lot of filth, and wished to die. But no matter how much he wanted it, death didn't come for him. He should have been happy. He didn't have much to do behind him, except to find his grandchildren, and he found someone he could trust. He could have left this world in peace. And he might never have to see the atrocities of this world again.

"There's a comforting light in your eyes just like his. I hope that light never goes away. You're the greatest genius I've ever seen, no matter what!" Bias Gerz smiled a little. The last time he saw Asil, his complete upset would have devastated Bias Gerz. "In the future, you will definitely come to heights beyond anyone's reach. Keep smiling and helping people when that happens. You do these things so people want to be like you. I think it's the greatest gift." Bias Gerz paused for a few seconds.

His old heart, with every beat, seemed to tell him to keep his speech short, that it was tired, and couldn't take it anymore. But Bias Gerz already knew that. He never complained about it. So far, it has carried the Bias Gerz very well. "You have the ability to make it happen. You may face good or bad things in the future, but whatever happens, don't change your heart." He looked tenderly at Asil: "You are a good man, Asil. I'd like to have more conversations with you. But it looks like we can't do this anymore." He tilted his head slightly forward. Asil had a heart that was large enough to hold all the people, but also sensitive. That heart would probably blame itself for the death of Bias Gerz. "Don't blame yourself for this. Because it is a great joy to give my life for someone I can call my third grandchild." Bias Gerz felt that his eyelids were now tired as well. A heavy feeling collapsing on his body, he spoke one last time with great relief: "Smile Asil, smile my grand..."

Bias Gerz's body couldn't take it anymore, and he died before he could finish his speech. When his lifeless body slipped from the sword on his chest and fell to the ground, Asil was still looking ahead with his damp eyes, tears pouring down. He couldn't believe Bias Gerz was dying for him. No! Or rather, he didn't want to believe it! With his mind full of intense disbelief, he slowly lowered his gaze and glanced at Bias Gerz's corpse.

As Asil looked at Bias Gerz's body, a cloud of vaguely black smoke began to emerge from his mouth, which became more and more clear. The man who killed Bias Gerz came to his senses when he saw this smoke. Though he did not understand what had happened, all his instincts told him to raise his sword without hesitation and then hurl it towards Asil, as his instincts cried out that if he did not kill this child in front of him immediately, he would surely die.

As the sword came towards him, Asil slowly raised his head and looked into the man's eyes. The moment he saw the iris of Asil, formerly black, turn red and the influx of eyes turn black like coal, the man immediately stopped his sword's progress. No! Or rather, he had to stop! Because he couldn't even move his body! He was having trouble breathing! The young man, who had no power to move against him, was only in the first level of the nascent profound realm, while he was in the fifth level of the nascent profound realm! So, something like this had to be impossible to happen!

Asil raised his hand slowly and took it towards the neck of the man who could not even move. While this was happening, the man was making every effort to move. But his body was not carrying out any of his orders. It was as if he was not a human being, but a monster so terrible that he could lose control of his body!

Asil grabbed the man by the neck, then squeezed the muscles in his arm and lifted him about ten inches above the ground. But before they had the opportunity to do anything else, other people in the vicinity attacked from afar with swords they held in their trembling hands. Seventeen attacks from afar with profound energies hit Asil and the body of the man he was holding and caused their them to fall off the cliff!

As Asil fell down the cliff, other people looked at their bodies still shaking in amazement and then walked away without saying anything.
