Sword God in a World of Magic

After a bit of rest, the group continued down the slope.

The Ice Wyvern Zone had many mountains and hills, and the battlefield was basically a gigantic crater that had been created over many years of war between ice and fire beasts.

Of course, the clash between the two Zone Beasts hadn't helped the land. Their clash had happened in the north, and if it weren't for them, the other side of the crater would begin in the middle of the battlefield.

However, since they fought, a huge chunk of the north was also destroyed, leaving behind a kilometer-wide crater, which was just as deep as the central crater of the battlefield.

One only needed to imagine a big crater in the center of the map, which then stretched into the north for several more kilometers.

As the group of soldiers charged down the steep decline, they had to evade several spikes of ice. Over the long years, the fire had molten the ground in many parts and pushed it towards the south. However, these waves of earth had been frozen by the Ice Mana, essentially locking them in place.

Because of that, several frozen spikes of earth pointed towards the south, making travel very inconvenient for people that couldn't jump several meters into the air.

Luckily, as General Stage warriors, these spikes were nothing more than a couple of bigger pebbles on the road, but, of course, it was still draining to constantly jump over them.

"Why did you say that you were a traitor?"

Two looked over to One, who had just asked the question.

"Why do you care?" Two asked.

"Because, if you like it or not, we three have been lumped together," One answered. "We can trust no one, but there should at least be some trust between the three of us."

"How can there be trust without reciprocity?" Two asked. "I gave you a sensitive part about my person, but you didn't give me anything."

One snorted. "And how am I supposed to believe that what you said was true?"

"What reason would I have for endangering myself?" Two asked.

For a while, One didn't answer. "Assuming you told the truth, why? Why did you tell the truth?"

"I want to take revenge on the people that hunted me in the past," Two explained. "My words will surely attract them."

For a second, One wanted to comment that this was a stupid idea. After all, if the enemy knew where and who Two was, they wouldn't send some weak warriors. They would definitely send someone that had the power to kill Two.
