Arc 64 - Powerless - Part 6

Nazar was surrounded by people who were wearing invisible stealth suits.

(These people are a little stronger than average humans.) Nazar thought.

He stood ready.

They all jumped on him. But instead, they stopped right next to him.

“” One of them spoke as he became visible.

Everyone else became visible too.

They were all wearing black skin-tight suits.

Their whole body, including their head, was covered.

“”

A woman’s voice spoke this time.

“”

“” Nazar said.

“” Another person spoke.

“”

They exchanged looks.

“” As the woman said, she waved her hand and then placed a spell on Laura. “”

“”

“”

“”

“”

Nazar walked towards Laura and picked her up. He held her in his hands and carried her.

As soon as Nazar walked closer to the soldier, a portal opened and they went through it.

Nazar and the others appeared in a place that resembled a library.

The soldier led him to a hidden room. Once they entered, Nazar found himself confused and surprised.

There was a picture of him there.

“” One of the men asked.

“” Nazar replied immediately.

He looked around and there were more pictures of him… no, saying pictures is wrong. It was something like a painting.

“”

“”

“” They sounded surprised.

“”

“” And old man spoke. He entered the room and started to speak.

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

Nazar then told him the story about the creation of the angels. He said the story in the exact words that the Nameless One had said.

“”

There was a little pause.

“”

“”

""

""

(Could...Could it be the Nameless One?)

The old man nodded and all the soldiers got ready.

“”

Nazar placed Laura in a corner.

And then he also got in a defensive position.

They attacked from all directions. There were about 10 of them and Nazar knew he stood no chance against them. But he tried anyway.

Both him and Laura had accepted their deaths, so there was no point in trying to prolong it any longer.

Nazar immediately jumped in the air.

The soldiers immediately stopped and looked up. However, Nazar had already landed behind one of them.

He held one of them by their neck and tried to slam him into the ground… but another soldier kicked her own colleague in the stomach. However, he was not hurt at all. The impact was instead sent to Nazar.

He coughed up blood.

(What the…?)

“”

As soon as the leader said, his foot slammed into Nazar’s stomach.

“Gyahh!!”

Nazar fell onto his knees.

Then another foot slammed into his face.

(Pain… never had to deal with it. I need that power more than ever.)

As he slowly fell to the ground, another kick came through and it hit him in the sides.

He was thrown away. He was still moving until he came in contact with the wall.

(Not for myself…)

Nazar looked at Laura who was still under the spell.

(...but for her.)

He smiled but it was soon removed because he was kicked in the face once more.

Nazar coughed up more blood.

Another kick was coming to his sides, but he rolled over towards the kick. Once he did, the kick did not have a lot of power in it.

Instead of worrying about pain, he held the leg of the soldier, which threw him off balance.

Nazar then used that to his advantage. He picked up the soldiers other leg and he fell to the ground.

Once the soldier did, Nazar immediately jumped up.

He fell straight on the fallen soldier.

He was about to stab his knee in that soldier’s stomach at full power.

But…

Before he could do that, in mid-air, two kicks came in. One from the right and the other from left. It squashed Nazar in the middle.

He heard a crack. One of his ribs was broken and he was coughing even more blood.

Nazar fell to the ground.

The two mercenaries stood above him.

“”

“”

They started kicking him.

(Did I hate my power?)

He was getting kicked and punched by the people in powered suits.

(Did I ever really hate my power?)

He got kicked in the face.

(Did I ever really want to die?)

He got kicked in the guts.

(Did I… did I even have a chance to save her?)

One of the soldiers crouched down.

He picked up Nazar’s leg. He held his leg up a little.

And another soldier slammed her foot in Nazar’s leg at full power. As soon as she did, a loud crack could be heard. It was the sound of Nazar’s leg being broken completely.

“Arghhh?!!” Nazar cried in pain.

The broken part of his leg could be seen. It did not have any movement in it and it was limping down on the ground.

Nazar’s eyes flickered.

“” The old man said out loud.

The soldiers exchanged glances and then nodded.

The old man came close and picked up Nazar by his hair.

“”

He then let go of Nazar’s head.

“”

The old man walked away from Nazar and the others. He stood and watched.

His hand waved and Laura was awake once more.

As soon as she woke up, she found herself confused.

She looked around and saw bloodied Nazar lying on the floor. He was surrounded by people in skin-tight suits.

“Nazar?” said slowly.

One soldier then slammed his fist into Nazar’s heart and picked out his heart.

“NAZAR?!?!”

Nazar was dead.

He held the heart in his hand for a few seconds.

“”

“”

“”

“”

The soldier then squashed Nazar’s heart in it.

“NAZAR?!” Laura shouted as she got up.

She tried to run towards Nazar but she found herself on the floor instead.

One of the mercenaries had kicked Laura’s leg and broke it. Laura fell to the ground in pain.

She held her leg with hand but it did not do anything.

(It can’t be… He died? For us?) Laura thought.

The mercenary then punched her in the face.

Laura heard her jaw being broken.

The mercenaries then exchanged glances.

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

“”

The conversation was going on between them. Laura did not understand and frankly, she could not care less. She was in too much pain.

The old man watched while smiled.

While the mercenaries were arguing between one another, one of them went behind them. He moved his fist and aimed for her heart.

It was about to go through her heart. His fist was about to go through her slender body. She would be dead and he would get to squash her heart like an ant.

However… it stopped it before it. No, it did not stop. It had the complete opposite effects. Instead of his fist going through Laura’s body, he found that the bones in hand to be broken into small pieces.

“How interesting,” a voice said.

“ARGHHH?!?!” The mercenary cried in pain.

“”

“”

“”

“”

They all started to attack her together.

They threw kicks and punches, but before reaching her, it stopped and all the bones in either their legs or hands broke into small pieces.

They all cried in pain.

“No one gets to lay a finger on her when I am around!”

Laura did not have the strength to be confused. Her eyes flickered but she saw something there. Something unexpected… or maybe very expected.

A bloodied Nazar was standing behind the mercenaries.

The mercenaries forgot about the pain and looked towards Nazar.

Nazar could remove the blood from his face and body but decided to keep it.

That bloody face was ripped in half with a smile.

As Nazar said that with a smile on his face, they started to tremble in fear.

“”

“”

“”

The old man took a step back. He tried to leave the room, but Nazar placed a barrier around the whole room. No one could leave or enter this room.

“Why did I not think of this earlier? I should have just killed myself and then everything would have been fine.”

Nazar walked towards Laura. Once he reached there, he crouched down and touched her on the face.

Her whole body was healed.

“Now, go to sleep,” Nazar said slowly.

As he said that, her eyes closed.

Nazar stood up and looked at each of them.

He went closer to them.

The mercenaries tried to run away but they could not. They were too scared to move.

“”

“”

“”

They continued shouting these things but Nazar did not listen. He just smiled.

“”

Nazar crouched down next to a mercenary. The one who was about to punch Laura first.

“”

The mercenary had a mask on his face, but Nazar knew that his eyes were wide open in shock and fear.

Nazar placed his hand on the mercenary and he screamed in pain.

“”

He then looked at another mercenary. The one who squashed Nazar’s heart.

“”

Nazar waved his hand and a cow appeared in place of that mercenary.

Everyone froze in their places.

He then waved his hand again. The mercenary appeared in the place of the cow. However, he was different.

“”

He then broke every single bone in another’s body. He just left them barely alive. He burnt one. He reversed the flow of electricity in one. And did something similar to others. They will not die but they would wish they had died today.

When he was done with the mercenaries, he went to the old man.

He placed his index finger on the old man’s forehead.

“”

The old man looked like a living stone now.

Nazar then went back to Laura. He picked her up and started to carry her.

The blood vanished from his body. His clothes were perfectly fine now, too.

He thought about the coordinates for a while. And then he opened a portal.

The portal opened in his home. He came back the exact second they left.

He was carrying Laura in his hands when he appeared out of the portal.

Emma was sitting down in the room.

She noticed Laura. She thought something bad had happened to her.

“Nazar? What happened to her?”

“I will tell you later.”

Nazar phased through the roof and placed Laura on the bed in the room, that was supposed to be his.

He then came down once more.

“Give her some clothes. And don’t worry, she is just sleeping.”

Nazar then sat down on the ground.

“Now, then, I need to get to work.”

He opened his palms and it lit up with blue energy.

“Time to prepare to kill a god.”
