Victory will be assured if Zeral get the book to Kevin after he told him that he got a friend who can decipher the ancient language of mages in this book so Kevin left the city as he going back to the monster's cave to bring this monster to a location that Kevin and Zeral place away from the eyes...
However, while Zeral was getting out from the city, the general along with the princess Donatella went to speak to him about the sudden leaving
"Mister Adomas, may I ask you why are you going to the capital now? I mean you've been tired lately and you personally asked for rest and now after you spoke to your friend, you are going once more to the capital so it makes wonders why?"
The general asking Zeral as he following him outside the gate
Zeral stops and turns to answer "It is the emergency thing I have to deliver such important message to the king..."
The general says "But you could send a soldier to deliver it for you"
Zeral refuses while saying "Naah, this is important and it is personal so I can't ask anyone else to deliver it and besides maybe there are monster in way and it is getting dark now so better I have to go myself so yeah see you soon"
Then while he getting over a horse, Donatella comes running towards him yelling "Wait I'm coming with you"
Zeral stop again and asks Donatella who was climbing a horse to ride with Zeral and he asks
"Wait! what are you doing? you coming with me?"
Donatella answers "Yeah! I want to get back to home, I miss my family"
The general asks her "What? Do you miss them? I thought you told me this morning you won't get back there for a long time because you need more training here"
Zeral add to that while laughing "You missed your mom? Oh so sweet hahaha so what about your training little girl?"
Donatella starts yelling at them "NOOO! I'm not a little girl, come on I just want to get back to my home what is wrong with that? I got important thing to do there as well and Adomas or Zeral or whatever your name is can bring me there in complete safety"
The general says "Oh is that so? I agree traveling with mister Adomas is so safe therefore no problem from me in this so you can go"
Zeral says as he starts marching "Okay go with me but if you annoyed me I will kill you then eat you myself deal?"
Donatella who start following Zeral says "Oh that is fine but same goes for you too"
So Zeral and Donatella left the city of Kolino and riding towards the capital and while they are going, Zeral told Donatella that they must move quickly to get the capital sooner but Donatella didn't understand reason of this rush
"Hey, hold on, come on no need to hurry we will get there anyway"
Zeral answer her as demanding her to ride faster
"We have to get there as soon as possible because I got something it really need to discuss with your father immediately so hurry up please"
Donatella as forcing her horse to go faster to catch up to Zeral then she asks again
"And what is this important thing? May I know?"
Zeral quickly responds "No" but Donatella asks him again "Come on tell me why this is so important and what is it?"
Zeral answers "I can't tell that much about it sorry, it is just a new plan I got and only your father can take and if this plan works it will end this war for good"

Donatella says "Oh that is great while I'm not sure what is your plan but I'm sure it will be good one and will be effective if it works"
Zeral with a smile says "Oh thanks, you still think that I'm a legend even after what I told you about me? I even don't call myself Adomas anymore because I can't see it in my anymore"
Donatella says with a smile as well "No one is immune for doing mistakes and terrible things! you are no exception, after all, you saved my life and others also you are on our side right now and even this war not affecting you and you still going to help us win it so yeah you still the legend that I loved when I was a child"
Zeral who slows the pace of his horse for minutes so he can speak clearly and better to Donatella while he saying
"Oh after all of this and I still get someone who thinks I am a legend. You know what? my son too thought that I'm a legend and he made other kids think that about me too, I still remember their happy faces when they see me coming back"
Donatella some tears come down from her eyes while saying "You still a legend no matter what! I lost my beloved friend Marco who died by those evil monsters years ago, he told me that he will become a warrior and he will be my own legend but..."
Zeral looks to her pale face then he says "We both lost important peoples in our lives at least you got family and future while only got is hope that I will die someday, you can be a legend while I will never be same Adomas that you heard about so the thing I can do is end this war so you continue living and becoming a legend, I believe in you Dona"
Donatella says as she cleaning her tears "Thank you so much, I promise I will be a legend and I will kill most monsters as I can"
Zeral says as laughing "Hahahaha they killed your friend and you hated them this much? don't you know they were humans as well? and humans do mistakes as you said so they did and Hirvan is responsible for transforming them into monsters that are why he must die and this war will be over"
Donatella ask Zeral "I know but they will continue fighting us after his death also they only feed on us"
Zeral answer her "No, you see the problem is that they are following him no matter what as they think that he is their god and after he told him you only feed in humans and no animals they accepted that as a fate even thought that they can eat animal's meat fine same as humans and I assume the vegetables will not harm them"
Donatella start laughing directly after heard that
"What? Vegetables? hahahaha Oh my God! hahaha oh I'm a monster and I love to eat some tomato and peppers, sounds cool hahaha"
Zeral laughing too then he says "Hahaha yeah but that is reality they can live together with humans with no war otherwise this war will continue more and more and end until the last monster dies including my best friend Kevin and I don't want to lose him again, he is the only remaining person from my past life"
Donatella says "Oh so that is why you hope that monsters and humans will live together in peace after the death of their stupid Hirvan anyway I won't kill anyone who wants peace so I will accept any monster who will give up fighting and instead starts a peace with us"

Zeral says "That is good so let's go faster" than both of them start riding quickly towards the capital and after hours of traveling finally, Zeral and Donatella reached the royal castle...
Then they got some meal and rest, Donatella set to talk with her mother about her training and about the war she witnesses but she lied about her being a part in this war and nearly get killed while Zeral didn't talk so much until he gets a chance to speak with King alone so he keep waiting until he finally get chance when the king went to his room, Zeral followed him
"My king, wait I need speak to you privately" Zeral following the king near his room's door so the king asks Zeral
"Oh Adomas, you need something?"
Zeral look to the guards behind the king then he says "Yeah something private" and with a little eye blink, the king understand Zeral and he ordered the guards to leave then he enter his room with Zeral
And after he closed the door he turned to Zeral and asks "What is it? Did you find a way to get rid of Hirvan? don't tell me you found a mage?"
Zeral with a small laugh as he saying "Yeah under a rock hahahaha but indeed I found someone can read that book which means the end of Hirvan is near"
The king asks with the happiness on his face "Oh really? that is great news so tell me Adomas who is this man? and where is he?"
Zeral answers "Yeah it is great news and this isn't actually man neither a mage if they even still exist however this one is a monster who've been working under Hirvan as helper when he was druid under your command you may remember him if you speak with him"
The king cuts Zeral's answer by asking with confusion "Wait a monster will help us? but aren't they under Hirvan control? why he would betray his master?"
Zeral answer the king with uncertainty "I'm not sure, I didn't meet him but there is a monster who came to tell me that and as he told me this monster didn't believe in Hirvan being God and he wishes that he will die so he can be free from his orders..."
The king cuts Zeral's answer again by asking "What? another monster? since when monsters are cooperative with humans ?"
Zerals with a smile answers "Man that sounds crazy but yeah it actually happened and this monster is special because he was one of your notorious warriors years ago and so famous in my hometown, my best friend who was transformed to monster after Hirvan reached him when he was near to die because of my attack"
The king says "So now I understand but tell me do you trust them? I mean maybe he is your best friend but..."
Zeral interrupts the king by saying "Yeah I know he may betray us and if he does I will make sure I will kill him this time for good don't worry I still the apex predator in this world and nothing will affect my duties and the promise I gave to you"
The king with much humble and happiness he says "Ah Okay then tell me when and where we will meet? Plus I'm going with you"
So Zeral told the king about the location and time of the meeting and after the king insisted that he need to go with him to this meeting Zeral accepted and they got ready to go at dawn to an inhabited small cave near the mountains in the north...
While the king's family were sleeping, the king sneaks in with Zeral out the castle even the guards didn't get an answer where the king is going, having the book and the hope that this will end this war...
They traveling four hours to this location, talking to each other about how they will attack Hirvan and kill him and discuss the fate of rest of monsters so at dawn they arrived at the meeting location but they found no one there so they stand to wait, the sun rise and still no one comes so the king asks Zeral
"Adomas, are you sure this is the location? we've been waiting for hours now"
Zeral, so concern as well he answers "Yeah it is but not sure why they didn't come yet, either way, we will wait one more hour if they didn't come we will get back to the castle"
Minutes later, they saw the two monsters approaching, so Zeral says
"Oh here they come, that is my best friend Kevin in left and I assume the one in right is the monster we need to read this book"
Zeral walks towards them asking "Hi, Kevin, we've been waiting for you for hours. I thought something happened to you both"
Kevin answers "Well we had to leave without been noticing so we took our time to leave from their tight guarding also we came with our feet, not with horses like you did"
The king steps up as saying "Oh so you are Kevin from Batrack, you change quite a bit"
Kevin with a smile he says "Oh it is the king, my majesty I'm sorry I didn't notice you with this outfit so forgive me Lord" as he kneeling to the king
The king who was wearing normal clothes and without wearing his crown neither his sword so he says "It is okay, I had to get this outfit so no one can notice me as I travel like ordinary man, however, I'm glad that you brought this man to help us"
The monster who also kneeled for the king says "You called me a man? even that I didn't look like a human anymore so thank you, my king, my name is Fred, I was a personal assistant to Hirvan and I learned this language in that book so I'm here to help"
The king says "That is great, stand up both of you, we have more important thing to do, here is the book to see it and please try to decipher it words and search for this poison that used to kill the real Zeralizion"
"Alright my king, let me have a look" the monster gets the book from and open to search for the part that speaks about deadly poison which used to kill the Silver Sabertooth so he takes his time reading and searching for anything speaks about this book while Zeral and others waiting
But then they heard weird noise inside the cave, Kevin says
"What was that?" Zeral adds to that by saying "Yeah I heard that too, is there someone inside that cave?" Kevin says
"I'm not sure, you came before we so didn't you check the cave?"
Zeral answers "Well I did get inside but didn't find anything except for bats and other normal creatures, but this sound isn't normal, something is there"
Then the sound again happens and makes the men so worried so Zeral decided to go in
"What the fuck is this sound? Kevin, let's go inside and check"
Kevin says "Alright, you stay here with the king" ordering the monster to guard the king outside the cave so Zeral and Kevin get inside to check this weird sound as they get inside they split so they can search faster...
"I will go left, you go right," Kevin says
"Mhmm like old days? Alright let's go" After Zeral said that he took right lane and went to search there, he keep walking until the end of the lane and after long one, he didn't find anything in it so when he was going back, the way he came from getting blocked by a big explosion made rocks fall down to block the way so Zeral stuck with confusion
"What the fuck? where this explosion come from? Damn it the opening is shut!"
Zeral tries to remove the rocks then he starts yelling "Kevin! I need your help here! Kevin, where are you? Kevin?"
Meanwhile, outside the cave, Kevin walks outside, the king wonders about the explosion he heard "Hey what was that explosion? also, where is Adomas? is everything okay?"
Kevin with a smile he says "My dear king, everything it will be okay"
Then a voice comes from the cave saying "But it will not be for you, king"
The king asks "What?" in same time Zeral screaming "Hey, I need help over here! damn it" as he removing the rocks...
And the voice was coming outside the cave saying "It is been a while, King David" as the light comes to show that this voice was the voice of Hirvan
"Who the hell are you?" the king wonders? as Hirvan goes outside with another monster near him, laughing and saying "We got him" Hirvan says
"Sorry I forget to introduce myself, I'm the only God in this world, I'm the maker of the holy beings and I'm your worst nightmares, you are the one who tried to kill me and started this war so I think by now you realized who I am"
The king gets silent as he looking to all of the monsters who surrender him and especially for Kevin who was smiling to the king...Then Hirvan says
"You thought one of my kids will betray me as you did to me? you thought the holy beings are same as humans? who can betray each other easily? you thought they are same as you?"
The king says "Shut up! I never betrayed you Hirvan, I didn't even know that the commander that went with you was to do that to you! I never gave orders to kill you and you know how much I respected you as you were last Druid who used to work with my father"
Hirvan yells at the king "How dare you? to insult the God in front of his creation? I'm going to kill you" Kevin interrupts Hirvan by "You must do it now Lord, or Zeral will come out"
The king asks Kevin with a pity "So you are with him after all? and this is all was planned from the start to get me here and murder me so you made Zeral locked in there?"
Hirvan start laughing "Exactly hahahaha now your time to die"
The king with a smile as he raising his hands, he says "Go ahead! kill me, is that what you aim for? to kill an old man like me and you will win the war? you think my people will lose if I died? hell no! they will rise and revenge my death"
Hirvan screams "SHUT UP! I want to kill you for betraying me I've been waiting for this for many years and finally, I'm going to kill you and then I will end the human race and thanks for bringing the book and with it, your monster Zeral will get killed as well"
The king says as smiling "I trust him and have fate in him as rest of humanity to defeat you and win this war, even with my death the humans will continue to fight and someday with aid of our God we will defeat you this is your destiny Hirvan, you can't run for it, someday you will realize that there is a God in the sky watching us and you will know that you aren't...UGHHHH!"
A sword comes flying from Hirvan as he yelling "DIIIEEEE!!!" hitting the king in the chest so he falls down but he continues smiling as saying "Ughh...God will punish you...Ughh you will see"
Hirvan pulls of the sword and stabs the king again as saying "We will see about that, now farewell, king" then he pulls the sword again and he orders his beings to leave imminently before Zeral comes out...
As the king soaking in his blood while remembering his life as he smiling, Zeral who've been removing all the big rocks that blocked his way as he didn't know about the treason of his dear friend Kevin and what happened outside
The end.
