Chapter 38 - Illusion Cave
"We should have known from the start your intention, Damn King!" Gil said, trying to untie King Feu\'er\'s magic. However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn\'t untie the magic.
"Hahaha... that\'s how stupid you guys are! You\'re too kind and it\'s too easy for me to fool you. Now, you won\'t be able to break free from that bond. It\'s the strongest bond of the Schneider Clan ancestor!" said King Feu\'er.
King Feu\'er was now approaching towards his enemy, while tapping his mighty scepter at the Mermaid Queen and the others.
"My husband will not forgive you, Feu\'er!" cried Queen Eliz, annoyed. At a time like this, she hoped that Lord Jack would soon come to their aid. However, Queen Eliz doesn\'t know that Lord Jack is currently facing a traitor in the Heavenly Palace.
"Wow... I\'m so scared. Hahaha... sadly your husband is still busy dealing with Rufus\' rebellion. There\'s no way Jack would come here that fast." King Feu\'er said with a grin, so terrifying.
All eyes bulged hearing King Feu\'er\'s words earlier. So, King Feu\'er was also the one behind the rebellion that occurred in the Black God Mountain?
"Come on, My Son! We immediately bring Vin Greyrat, the Greyrat clan is proud of!" take King Feu\'er to his eldest son.
Prince Zarius followed his father\'s footsteps behind him, while rubbing Zarius\'s lip which was torn from Yushen\'s punch earlier.
"Feu\'er!! Please don\'t hurt my son ...." Queen Eliz pleaded in tears.
However, King Feu\'er did not listen.
***
In the Cave of Illusions, a duel also took place between Vin and Felius, the second son of King Feu\'er, over the Land of Fotia.
Vin and Felius fought very fiercely. However, Zhang Sifeng could only watch on the sidelines. Sifeng did not have any spiritual power. In fact, Sifeng couldn\'t even fight a drunkard alone, let alone against a God who mastered the power of the fire element like that Felius Schneider.
"You\'d better give up, Vin! Come with us to Fotia Country! That way, you can also protect your family from being attacked again like this," said Felius, while continuing to attack Vin.
"Tch! I will never go with you!" Vin snorted, smiling disdainfully at Felius.
"Alright, then let\'s just end this fight!" Felius shouted.
Felius pointed his hand at Vin\'s body, which immediately made Vin squirm hot. Indeed, Vin\'s strength has not fully recovered. So, Vin can\'t fight this Felius-class God.
Zhang Sifeng remembered Queen Eliz\'s words for Sifeng to continue protecting Vin. Whatever their situation.
Sifeng crept behind Felius, who was still attacking Vin.
Sifeng picked up a sizable boulder, and slammed the boulder right into Felius\' head. Felius, who was too focused on attacking Vin, didn\'t notice that Sifeng was behind him earlier.
"Aargghhhh!" Felius groaned in pain. Fresh white blood, pouring from the back of the head of the second Prince Fotia\'s.
In that instant, Felius looked back, and turned to attack Sifeng.
Sifeng\'s body instantly bounced far back, until Sifeng\'s back hit the ceiling of the Illusory Cave.
Sifeng tried to get up. Sifeng advised himself.
"Don\'t lose, Zhang Sifeng! It\'s just a dream. It\'s like you\'re playing a fighting game!" Sifeng muttered, more to himself.
King Feu\'er and Zarius, have now also arrived at the Illusory Cave. It wasn\'t difficult for King Feu\'er to open the hiding cave in the Mermaid Palace. They were very surprised when they saw Felius\'s head was injured, and it was still bleeding white.
Vin Greyrat hadn\'t risen either. Vin was still in pain from Felius\' attack just now. Vin\'s body curled up on the ground.
Sifeng mumbled, "Gosh! Why are there so many enemies? If only I had a weapon."
This other corner of the Illusory Cave, King Feu\'er gripped the arm of Vin, who was curled up on the ground from being heavily injured.
"Hey! Let go of Vin, Uncle with Long Hair!" Sifeng\'s voice, challenged King Feu\'er.
King Feu\'er let go of his grip on Vin. King Feu\'er now turned to Sifeng who was still sitting limp as well. Sifeng leaned against the wall of the Illusory Cave.
"You dare command me, Mortal?!" King Feu\'er shouted, furious He grabbed Sifeng\'s rather long hair roughly.
"Hahaha, I am indeed a daredevil." Sifeng spoke. He smiled faintly, which made King Feu\'er even angrier.
King Feu\'er was now strangling Sifeng\'s neck, so tightly with only one left hand. However, the grip of this Feu\'er King was so tight that it deprived Sifeng\'s brain of oxygen.
Sifeng tried to keep his ragged breaths under control. Sifeng\'s hand groped on the ground. Sifeng took a handful of sand and splashed it right into King Feu\'er\'s eyes.
"Damn you, Mortals!" King Feu\'er retreated, his eyes sore from the sand that Sifeng threw earlier.
While King Feu\'er was still complaining that his eyes were sore, Sifeng took this opportunity and ran towards Vin.
"Let\'s get out of here, Vin!" take Sifeng. Sifeng helped Vin to stand up.
King Feu\'er gave his sons a signal to combine their spiritual powers. King Feu\'er, Zarius and Felius are now combining their powers and getting ready to attack Vin.
Sifeng, who realized the danger, immediately took Vin into Sifeng\'s arms. They had their backs to King Feu\'er and the others.
A radiance of red flames headed towards Zhang Sifeng\'s back. Sifeng tried to hold on, and still hugged Vin\'s weak body. Sifeng remembers that he was told by Queen Eliz to look after Vin. So, Sifeng would not stand by when Vin was in danger like this.
After a while of resisting King Feu\'er\'s attack with his body, fresh red blood was now flowing from Sifeng\'s nose and mouth.
Sifeng blinked, trying to stay awake. Sifeng groaned in pain, Sifeng\'s body was burning.
Vin wanted to try to help, but Vin\'s body still couldn\'t move. Vin then passed out in Sifeng\'s arms.
Sifeng was still defending Vin from the attacks of the Gods who controlled the fire element\'s power. Sifeng used his body as a shield.
"It\'s just a dream, Zhang Sifeng! So you\'ll be fine after this!" Sifeng kept saying those lines, to give Sifeng a bit of suggestive power.
Suddenly the bodies of King Feu\'er, Zarius and Felius were blown away.
Well, help has arrived. A cloud of purple mist had now come to the Illusory Cave. The arrival of the purple mist was followed by Gil and the others.
The purple mist attacked King Feu\'er and his two sons mercilessly.
Realizing the Lord\'s arrival, King Feu\'er finally gave in and disappeared from the Illusory Cave. Of course followed by his two sons, Prince Zarius and Prince Felius.
Gil approached Vin, followed by Yushen. Gil moved Vin\'s head from Sifeng\'s arms, to his lap.
Zhang Yushen immediately restrained Sifeng\'s body from behind, before his younger brother\'s body fell.
"A-Feng, are you alright?" asked Yushen, to his little brother.
Sifeng just smiled in response. After that, Sifeng\'s body now fell into Yushen\'s arms.
"It\'s just a dream, isn\'t it, Yushen? I was playing a game, and now I\'m game over."
Sifeng\'s voice weakened. Sifeng\'s body convulsed in pain, before finally Sifeng\'s hands and head drooped weakly, still in Yushen\'s lap.
Well, Sifeng lost consciousness.
"Zhang Sifeng! A-Feng! Xiao Feng! Wake up, please!" Yushen shouted while patting Sifeng on the cheek.
***
Zhang Sifeng saw Vin\'s innocent face. Really, Vin is very beautiful. This was the first time Sifeng had seen a man with such a beautiful appearance as Vin.
Vin smiled at Sifeng. Well, it\'s as if Vin is giving Sifeng strength. Strength to withstand attacks from behind Sifeng. Sifeng felt that his whole body was in so much pain.
Just imagine! Now it was as if Sifeng\'s entire body was being roasted in a large microwave at 180°C or above.
Sifeng could feel his blood boil. Sifeng\'s flesh and bones were probably almost burnt too. This is not because of the hyperbolic Sifeng. However, that was indeed how Sifeng felt now.
King Feu\'er, Zarius and Felius combined forces, and both attacked Sifeng\'s body, which was a shield for Vin. Even the strongest God would definitely not be able to withstand that attack. After all, it\'s just an ordinary human called Zhang Sifeng.
Sifeng was sure that Yushen would definitely not agree with what Sifeng was doing. However, this was the first kindness Sifeng had done to another being. Even though Sifeng is now doubtful, he doesn\'t know whether Sifeng will still be able to see tomorrow or not.
However, Sifeng was happy to do this. Moreover, this is a request from a mother. A mother who in the past 2 days, has given Sifeng the impression that not all mothers are evil like Mrs. Wang or selfish like Mrs. Watanabe from Japan.
"Arrrgggghhhh!" Sifeng groaned in pain. Sifeng could see Vin\'s worried face.
