THE BOOK OF Z 8 Chapter 7 - Salvac

" Salvac indeed is the most advanced as well as the most beautiful city of the world." replied Eric and then continued , " Zeroth , you still haven't told me the reason behind coming to Salvac ."

" The purpose of coming here is to challenge our element base and then partic.i.p.ate in the Royal Tournament , which will be held after five days. "

" According to the schedule of the Royal Tournament, wasn't it scheduled for two years prior this date."

" It indeed was , but due to some unknown circ.u.mstances, the tournament was delayed and was s.h.i.+fted to this date."

" Ok, so when do we challenge our element base ?"

" Now" said Zeroth , and then continued, "Right now its 10AM, we should now go and challenge our own base and then meet here again at 5PM."

Then Zeroth and Eric headed on their own towards their respective base .

After some time Zeroth reached the Summon Base , and entered it. There he saw a small battlefield and saw five people, each of them were guarding a door . As Zeroth entered one of them asked, " Are you here to challenge the Summon base?"

" Yes " ,replied Zeroth .

" Then you must defeat us first in order to challenge the elites, whom would you like to challenge first?"

" I would like to challenge all five of you at once "

Then the guard smiled and said, " I totally forgot to tell you a rule , which applies here, that during a battle you can battle with only one summoned beast .Now , would you like to challenge all of us together. "

" Yes" , said Zeroth.

" What , are you serious?"

" Yes."

Then the battle started , the guards summoned various beasts , Zeroth then summoned, Pracio. Pracio flew up and casted Solar beam attack, within a single hit, all the guards were defeated.

Then one of the guards handed him a pa.s.s and said, " With this pa.s.s , you can challenge the elites whenever you like and if you intend to challenge them right away, you may choose any one door out of these five doors and enter it, your opponent will be waiting for you there. "

" Thank you " , said Zeroth. Then he looked at the five doors and thought which door he should choose ,and then finally entered the third door.

There he saw a fair girl with red eyes and black hair, she wore a red dress. She then said to him, " My name is Rose, I saw your fight with the guards , I think we'll have an interesting fight. "

Then Rose said, " Summon, Tartus".

Tartus was a stone golem . After Summoning Tartus, she said, " Tartus is an A cla.s.s beast, he has high defense and strength. "

Then Zeroth Summoned Astridous.

Rose was shocked to see Astridous and said, " So you have an S cla.s.s beast, But his attacks won't be able to pierce through Tartus's defense." ,then she paused and said, " Tartus, attack him."

Tartus rushed towards Astridous. Astridous dodged his attack and then jumped high , then Astridous said," solar blast", and fired his gun. Tartus was unable to dodge the attack and got a direct hit from the bullet and then he vanished.

" What, you defeated me so easily.", said Rose , then she paused for a moment and then asked Zeroth, " Do you have a t.i.tle holder?"

" I don't know what a t.i.tle holder is." replied Zeroth.

" I see, then take this", she then handed Zeroth a black coloured ball which had a red dot in it and then said, " That is a t.i.tle holder, now that you are the new Summon elite, that belongs to you. Once press the red dot on the t.i.tle holder."

Zeroth then pressed the red dot on the t.i.tle holder and found that digitalized words emerged out of it , which stated," Summon elite "

Then Rose again continued, " Now this room belongs to you, and whenever you would like to challenge the Summon King", then she pointed towards a door and then said," you can go through that door , he is always ready for a battle. Now that I have completed my last responsibility as the elite , I will now take my leave." Then Rose left the room.

Then Zeroth walked towards the door , to challenge the Summon king and then entered it.

As Zeroth entered the room, he saw a dark skinned man with light blue hair, brown eyes approaching him . He wore a yellow ts.h.i.+rt with blue shorts .

Then he said, "My name is Henry, you really are strong, but do you have what it takes to be the Summon king." ,then he paused for a moment and then said, " I noticed that you summoned Astridous for your previous battle, well, I have an surprise for him , Summon Stratridous. "

Stratridous looked exactly the same as Astridous , the only difference was that, Stratridous wore a white suit and on the other hand Astridous wore a black suit .

Then Zeroth summoned Astridous. When Astridous saw Stratridous, his expressions suddenly became very fierce and the same happened with Stratridous .

Zeroth was confused and asked , " Henry, what is happening, why are they acting like this?"

" Astridous and Stratridous are believed to be twins, those who chose different paths. Astridous chose to join the Demons and devoted his life to them and Stratridous chose to join the G.o.ds u0026 G.o.ddesses and devoted his life to them. After that day , the both of them became the greatest enemy of each other. During the G.o.d - Demon war , they both were sealed , later they were again awakened by a great wizard, who then became their master. That great wizard pa.s.sed on these twins to his two trustworthy disciples and told them to pa.s.s it to their worthy disciples. Ever since after that whenever they were summoned and faced each other in the battle they would start to battle with all their strength, to proof themselves stronger than the other ."

Then Henry said to Stratridous, " Attack him.".

Then Stratridous rushed towards Astridous. Astridous dodged his attack and then punched him on his face, then Stratridous kicked Astridous on his chest, and pushed him backward. Astridous then fired comet blast , Stratridous also fired . Stratridous's bullet canceled Astridous's bullet and hit him.

Then Zeroth said , " Astridous, dark mode."

After turning into the Dark mode , Astridous's injuries were healed automatically.

Then Henry said, " Stratridous, dark mode."

After turning into the Dark mode , Stratridous was now covered in a s.h.i.+ny white armor.

Then Astridous with his entire strength fired his gun towards Stratridous . Stratridous did the same . When their attacks clashed it released an tremendous amount of energy .

Now both Stratridous and Astridous had less strength left in them. Then suddenly Astridous looked at Zeroth and said, " Master please let me use my Demon form."

" Do as you wish Astridous, this is your battle " , said Zeroth.

Then Astridous said, " Demon form."

Suddenly an extremely powerful force started to emit from Astridous. Then suddenly a horn grew up on the head of Astridous and he also grew black coloured wings on his back.

Then Astridous again fired comet blast, Stratridous used up his remaining strength to prevent the attack and fired .

Astridous's attack far surpa.s.sed Stratridous's attack and landed a direct hit on Stratridous.

" You really have become strong, Astridous. ", said Stratridous , and then he vanished.

Henry was still shocked and asked Zeroth, " How were you able to awaken the true form of Astridous ."

"I think it is because that we both share a strong bond of friends.h.i.+p, we both understand each others feelings very well. "

" I see, I will surely take that advice. " , then Henry paused for a moment and then continued, " Now you are the new Summon King, this room now belongs to you , whenever you defeat a person with a higher rank as compared to you in an element base, you then exchange your t.i.tle holder with his , so take this.", then Henry handed Zeroth his t.i.tle holder , this t.i.tle holder was different from the one which Rose had given him . This was a silver coloured ball with a black dot on it .

Zeroth took the t.i.tle holder grom Henry and gave him the t.i.tle holder, which he received from Rose . Zeroth then pressed the black dot and then the digitalized words appeared on it , it stated, Summon King.

Then Henry pointed towards a door and said, " If you ever want to challenge the Summon G.o.d , you can anytime enter that door , and if you ever need my help , you can always approach me. As of now I will take my place as the elite, Bye."

" Thanks , Bye" , said Zeroth. Then Henry left the room.

Then Zeroth walked towards the final door, to challenge the Summon G.o.d.

Then he entered it.
