Ferdinand kicked Zaos for quite a while, but even though he wasn't causing much damage, Zaos could feel that the damage was slowly pilling up. Not to ntion, he was slowly being moved to the side of the ship, and soon he would be kicked and fall on the ocean.
While he was forced to move around by those kicks, Zaos had the chance to see that Drannor and Erean were unconscious as well. They didn't look dead, but they needed urgent treatnt because of the burn marks. Still, Zaos couldn't help himself, much less them.
Ferdinand suddenly stopped kicking Zaos, and then a Wind Barrier appeared around him. After that, Zaos saw so bolts falling around the asshole.
"Little worms…" Ferdinand said. "As if bolts could wound while I have these."
That was bad. Aria and Noemi were probably trying to cover for Zaos and the others. At the sa ti, they recover, but Zaos still couldn't move a single inch. As if that wasn't troubleso enough, if he uses that attack on their ship… everyone will probably die.
"What are you looking at?" Ferdinand said when he felt Zaos's gaze on him.
"I didn't pay attention too much to my enemies' last monts, but this ti I will…" Zaos said. "How do you feel knowing that you will die in less than a minute?"
Confusion spread across Ferdinand's face. It seed that Zaos wasn't joking, but the situation on his body was beyond any healer. After all, his knees and elbows suffered so much damage that he wasn't even bleeding there. It was almost a miracle that he could stay conscious and even talk.
"How do you plan on killing , huh?" Ferdinand asked and then stepped on Zaos's head with all his might.
"It is a pity that I won't have the chance to cut your limbs one after the other, but then one part of my offer still will stand," Zaos smiled.
"The hell are you talking about?" Ferdinand asked.
"I can explain to you in detail how you will die because I can see the future with my magic," Zaos started to bullshit his way out of that ss. "Have you never wondered how co we defeated you ti and ti again despite having all the odds against us?"
It seed that Zaos's plan was working. Ferdinand looked really shocked… although Zaos was just spouting a bunch of nonsense, it all made sense in Ferdinand's crazy mind.
"Tell how you can have a ring that grants you the chance to control lightning bolts, and I will tell you how to see the future," Zaos said. "Perhaps you will be able to avoid the death that I saw."
"… How about this, you tell that, and you won't die too painfully," Ferdinand said. "You have three seconds to decide that."
"Hehehe, everything is going exactly as I saw…" Zaos said. "Think about it… how could I have blocked a direct hit by throwing my sword upward?"
Ferdinand felt goosebumps when he heard that. Things were making a lot more sense now. Still, deep down, he knew that it was impossible… after all, he had a ring made by using the bones of the greatest mage that has ever existed, and he could only grant him the power to control storms up to a certain extent. The power to see the future seed away ahead of that.
"Ti is up, asshole," Zaos said.
Ferdinand raised his guard and waited for an attack coming from Zaos, but not a single one ca. Despite that, his Wind Barrier was activated because soone attacked him… Aria did, and since she enhanced one of her bolts with wind magic until it beca lightning, it pierced the barrier and hit Ferdinand's head, killing him.
"Shit… since when I decided to put so much faith on her?" Zaos asked and then sighed.
Probably because the tension left his body, Zaos felt his vision darkened. That wasn't good. His health wasn't empty, but the two idiots around him needed so ergency treatnt, and there was no one around that could help them. Zaos fell unconscious, imagining that he failed his allies again…
Sohow, Zaos was getting used to the feeling of waking up and don't recognize the ceiling above him. Thanks to that, he spent quite a while watching that as soon as he woke up. The reason being the fact that he needed to reflex on his actions. If that was often happening, it was because he was ssing up often.
Soon enough, Zaos recalled the battle that they had on that storm. In the end, he didn't do anything against Ferdinand, but he was sure that Arica defeated him. When Zaos got up, he realized that he wasn't in a room that was shaking. Now that he watched with more caution, he noticed that the walls and the ceiling were gray and made of so sort of stone. Not to ntion, the room didn't have anything aside from a bed in so clean towels. It was probably so treatnt room of so city…
"Oh, shit…" Zaos said as he saw his body covered in bandages. "I forgot, but that lightning bolt really damaged us."
Zaos tried to move his legs and arms and then noticed that he could move both, he was extrely weak, but he didn't lose the movent of his legs and arms. Still, where was everyone?
As stubborn as he was, Zaos decided to get up and leave the room. He had to walk very slowly and use the walls for support. However, once he opened the door, he saw a tired and surprised Noemi.
"You are up," Noemi smiled.
"Hey, what happened? Where is everyone?" Zaos asked.
"Don't worry, they are fine," Noemi said. "After you, three got hit by the lightning bolt, you guys were transported and treated to the port city of your country since you have better healers. Their condition was a bit more dangerous, so they will need to recover for a while longer. Still, they won't have to worry about problems caused by the wounds, and the sa can be said about you."
"I see… that is good," Zaos said and then sighed in relief. "By the way, for how long have I been asleep?"
"… Three weeks," Noemi said after a deep sigh.
