Chapter 39 - sorry excuses

Ching—!

That was the sound that was made as both zed and grayslake's sword clashed with the other

Zed flipped then proceeded to take to quick steps backwards

But Grayslake didn't give him time to adjust to his new position,he dashed right in front of him and thrust his sword forward

Zed quickly tilted his head to the side but the edges of grayslake's sword kissed zed's cheek leaving a slight scar on his cheek

Zed stomped his leg to the ground then shoots his leg upwards firing sand into grayslake eyes

Zed squeezes on his sword he morphs it's shape into a bow then like a rapid glitch it's form reverts to a sword

Zed: [What?!]

Grayslake: [I understand your confusion,I'd be confused if I were in your shoes as well anyway. My sword has rebuked the use of your powers to it's fullest potential]

Grayslake grips his sword

Zed's eyes widened "but….my energy was restored"

Grayslake: [yes it actually was,however the potential to increase it is negated by my little friend here" he says as he raises his sword "think of yourself like a battery that can't be recharged anymore…your power is stagnant…as long as the sword has pierced you….that is how it will always be-]

In a split second zed dashed behind grayslake and attempts to cut him from his backside with swift force

Grayslake turns back and stops the sword by it's tip with his bare hands

Grayslake: [you are all bark no bite it seems] Then he slashes zed's chest with his sword

"EEK-!"

Zed shouts out as he is sent rolling on the bare ground as he rolls his body met floris' as they collided

Zed: [Floris!]

He shouts flustered as he saw a large amount of poison rapidly spreading across her skin

Zed: [I see…..you poisoned us didn't you?!]

Grayslake: [Hm? Not quite….it seems that is her own doing. My sword only disrupts the soul and it's energy output,nothing more nothing less]

Zed: [heh I see]

Zed thrusts his body forward

Zed: [my sword is all I need…give it back!] both their swords collided

Grayslake: [what you stole?]

Grayslake smirks

Back at the destroyed city…the worm stands there eagerly waiting to see a response from felt alas there was none

Worm: [it appears the monster is no more I can now return back to the ground]

—!

The ground underneath him shook and something from underneath grabbed his leg

???: [no more?]

Worm: [You!]

The worm says this visibly shocked but also impressed

Felt: ["the monster is no more" huh? What a sorry excuse to run away!]
