Eastern Region.

The war between the northern and eastern regions had reached a stalemate. Both sides invaded the other and countless battles broke out, but none of these battles made the war any closer to being over.

That was because neither side had their main force on the front lines since Miko’s battle with Lennox. The reason for this was because both leaders had met a mysterious foe that lurked in the shadows. They couldn’t be careless enough to fight without knowing who that foe is.

“I don’t like this.”

Lennox said as he sat under a tree looking at soldiers prepare to go to the front lines.

“I wanna fight! I wanna fight! I wanna fight!”

He shouted.

“Stop whining. It isn’t something a commander should do.”

Said Skylar who leaned on the tree.

“I agree with the human God. Laying here doing nothing is kind of boring.”

Said Ezra, who was laying in sun not too far from them.

“See? Ezra gets it.”

Said Lennox.

“Entering a fight with an unknown enemy behind us is suicide. So bear with it until we discover who our enemy is.”

Skylar replied.

“Hmph.”

Lennox crossed his arms behind his head and pouted.

“I didn’t expect to see you three who are all from different races and sides relax under a tree together like old buddies.”

Drake walked up and said.

“It’s kind of weird to be honest.”

“Boredom brings even enemies together.”

Lennox replied.

“I’m bored as well.”

That's when someone was seen waking towards the tree.

It was a beautiful yet slightly muscular woman with dark skin, gold eyes, black hair, and was dressed in goth casual wear of a pair of eans and a dark top with skull earrings.

“Touma? Where have you been?”

Lennox asked Touma.

She was the final Tyrant Lennox requested, who bore the title “She Who Suppress The World”.

The Dragoness, Touma.

“I was waiting for the war to begin, but I’m bored now.”

Touma replied.

“Dragoness, we can’t move until we know the enemy.”

Skylar said.

“You can’t move. I’m bored, so I’m gonna stretch my legs. I might attack the Dragna Clan by accident though.”

She replied.

“Don’t bother, Touma.”

Lennox suddenly said.

“If you attack then there’s no stopping Hanzou and Kirin who have been so patient from attacking as well.”

He said.

“Hahahaha!”

Touma laughed.

“Didn’t you realize? Neither of those two are here anymore.”

“What?”

Skylar did a quick scan of the area and realized that she was right.

“Where did they go?”

Lennox asked with an amused smile.

“Hanzou went north, while Kirin went south.”

“So hanzou went to attack the Dragna Clan, while Kirin went to find out who our mysterious enemy is. This is interesting, don’t you agree?”

Lennox looked at Skylar and asked.

“Tsk. I guess we have no choice.”

Skylar clicked his tongue.

“Lets split up. I’ll join Kirin, while everyone else go back up hanzou.”

“Will you alone be enough for back up?”

Ezra asked.

“Back up? I won’t be going for back up, I’m going to stop Kirin from destroying half the continent.”

Lennox answered.

Let’s be honest…”

He smiled.

“Kirin is the last person who would needs back up.”

At the same time, a beam of light was traveling across the continent quickly heading towards the Southern direction.

If you took a closer look you would realized that there was a chariot at the source of the beam of light. On the chariot stood a tanned skinned youth with black hair with gold endings, dressed in a stylish red and gold angarkha.

This was the great Hindu warrior who singlehandedly conquered the world, Karna’s Proxy and descendent Kirin, also known as the One Man Army Kirin.

Kirin was someone who Lennox called to even the odds against the war with the Dragna Empire. However, even Lennox had to admit that Kirin might threw the balance of the war through the window with his appearance. That was how much destructive power he alone held.

“Finally here.”

Kirin stopped the chariot which was floating in midair. He looked down and saw a mountainous range facing the ocean.

“The Southern Region should be beyond this mountain range.”

The moment he said that, Kirin’s attire changed. He was now wearing a red and gold armor that looked like it was attached to his skin. In fact, it was. This armor was one of Kirin’s many Regalia, Kavach.

When Karna was born from the Divine Union of his mother Kunti and his father the Sun God Surya, he was born with an impenetrable armor called Kavach and a divine earring Kundal. They were later offered to Indra who asked for them as an offering to ensure Karna’s lost to his son in a future battle.

Wearing Kavach, Kirin lifted his hand into the air and summoned a weapon. It was a golden bow. This was one of Kirin’s Regalia Vijaya.

Vijaya was a destructive bow wielded by the God of destruction Shiva. It was said to have incredible destructive abilities which became more powerful the more it’s pulled. It was given to Karna by Shiva’s orders to be used in war.

“Let’s draw them out of hiding.”

Kirin held the bow in front of him and pulled its string.

*BOOM!*

Just pulling its string caused a terrifying sound which was as loud as thunder. The bow also started to produced a light that was as blinding as the sun.

“?!”

Julio who was inside the Imperial Capital of the Lore Empire, felt a sudden chill and looked in the direction of the mountains.

“This power….”

He heard the thunderous sound and saw the bright light, that was when he realized what was happening.

“Kirin!”

*BOOM!*

Kirin released the bow and an overwhelming light was fired.

*BOOM!*

The light instantly destroyed the mountain in front of him and ripped through the Southern Region heading straight towards Lore.

A moment before it hit, Julio appeared in front of the light and held out his hand.

*BOOM!*

The light hit him and caused a massive explosion. However, that explosion soon got sucked into a hole and disappeared. Julio was seen without a scratch in the same position as before.

This was all witnessed by Kirin who was staring right at him.

Julio had a frowned on his face. He knew that he shouldn’t have revealed himself, but he couldn’t allow the Southern Region to be wiped out before they did anything.

So he had no choice but to expose himself and stop Kirin.

“So this is the source of the feeling of unease I’ve been having.”

Julio brought his hand to his side and said.

“I didn’t expect that someone of your caliber would come attack me, Kirin.”

He glared at Kirin.

“Julio Zebul? I see. So you’re the mysterious third party.”

Kirin said.

“Third Party? I see.”

Julio immediately understood why Kirin attacked him.

“So you’re a part of this war as well? I gotta say it’s shocking.”

He said.

“Who would’ve thought that the Federation was taking sides?”

“My actions don’t reflect upon the Federation. I’m acting out of pure self interest.”

Kirin said.

“Self interest? Ah, I remembered now. Lennox was originally from the Sanskrit Federation wasn’t he? It make sense that two monsters would befriend each other.”

The Sanskrit Federation was the world’s oldest Federation that consisted of numerous countries that were founded and ruled by people and Proxies of the Hindu Pantheon. The Federation is ruled by Indra’s Proxy Heavenly General Rafael who is seen by many as one of the most powerful God Proxies in the world. Some even believe that he is the strongest.

It is believed that the federation houses over 90% of the Hindu Proxies and is considered the Hindu world, and this world like the Hindu Mythology is filled with almighty beings who all boast overwhelming power.

A big example is Lennox, who was born in one of the smaller countries in the federation. Even there, Lennox is a monster. Another monster is the man known as Kirin.

He hailed from one of the most powerful warrior clans and killed all of his peers to become the Proxy of Karna, despite being the youngest. He was a Maharathi Class warrior like Karna, meaning that he had complete mastery over a forms of weapons and combat skill.

He was a terrifying warrior even in Hindu standards.

“But is this really okay? I mean you siding with Lennox.”

Julio asked.

“If I remember correctly Rafael and Nero were blood brothers who made a blood pact with each other. What if you destroy their relationship?”

“There’s no need to worry about that. I asked for the General’s permission and he said that me siding with Lennox isn’t enough to destroy their brotherhood.”

Kirin answered.

“Is that so? Well, Nero is married to his sister after all. He even have two daughters back at the Federation if I remember correctly. I believe their names were Eva and Ava.”

Kirin narrowed his eyes when he heard that.

“Don’t call the names of our princesses so casually, Julio Zebul.”

He aimed the bow at Julio.

“Now that I know that a monster as yourself is working in the shadows, I have to eliminate you here.”

“Hahaha! Being called a monster by the likes of you?”

Julio took a courteous bow.

“I’m honored to tears.”

“Don’t start crying yet. Do that when you reenter the samsara circle.”

Kirin pulled the bow again and aimed at Julio.

“Looks like a fight is unavoidable.”

Julio loosen his shoulders and said.

“But fighting here wouldn’t be a good idea.”

He suddenly appeared in front of Kirin’s chariot.

*BOOM!*

Kirin fired his bow and hit him head on, or that was what should’ve happened. The shot missed and ripped through the sky before landing far out in the sea.

An explosion could be heard in the distance.

“That looks far enough.”

Kirin looked beside him and saw Julio floating.

“How about it? Let’s settle this out there.”

He asked with a smile.

“What benefit would I receive from going out there?”

Kirin asked.

“If we fought here, I won’t be able to fight at my full potential because I would be too busy worrying about the damages to the Region. That kind of battle would stain your honor and would be a disgrace. That’s why I propose we go to somewhere we can both go all out.”

Julio said.

“I understand.”

Kirin said after thinking about it for a second.

“You might have a plan, but it’s my duty as a warrior to overcome your schemes and rise to the top.”

He added.

“Well said.”

The two then flew over to the location where Kirin’s attack landed. It was approximately over 100 miles away from the Silver Continent. This way, their battle wouldn’t affect the continent in the least.

“………”

“………”

The two silently faced each other, standing on the sea surface.

“To think that I would be forced to fight so quickly.”

Julio took a fighting pose and said.

“This is way I can’t help but to love war.”

Kirin dismissed his chariot and put away his bow.

“For this battle I’ve decided that I won’t use any Astra against you.”

He said.

Astras were celestial weapons of the gods that held overwhelming and unmatched power and abilities. They mostly came in the forms of bow and arrows and were considered the ultimate weapons. Karna was bestowed numerous Astras in his life, which meant that they were all weapons available to Kirin in the forms of his Regalia.

Saying that he won’t use them was similar to saying that he won’t fight at full strength. This caused Julio’s brows to twitch.

“You know, people tend to forget something about because of my countless strategic successes.”

Julio ripped off his own shirt and revealed his muscular body.

“I’m a very short tempered person.”
