From Zero to Five Star

"Do you wish for power?" Rio, a Zero Star, received an offer from The Devil. The offer gave him the strength to fight against Arcdemon, the monster that terrorized humanity. But there is one condition to get its strength, that there must be sacrifices that must be made. A world where the human-representative Knights, Aditya, and monsters from other dimensions, Arcdemon, fought to fight over the earth. Rio Nugraha must be the strongest without having to rely on Devil's power.

Clash Between 4* and Sentinel

Bae holds the tip of Emerald Halberd stick with his right hand. Letting the blade touch the ground behind his body position.

Full of confidence, Bae said: "Then, let's continue."

"Believe me, none of your attacks will hit me."

Sentinel's statement provoked Bae's fighting intentions.

Focusing all his energy on his right hand, Bae began to attack.

"[Gale Majesty - Special Move: Super Slashes]!"

Bae does one super-fast spin that sends a very strong wind stroke to Sentinel.

Sentinel parrying the attack with Demonic Pickaxe. Unable to see or react better to withstand that attack.

Sentinel which previously stood on a pillar of earth pushed back as far as ten meters.

"That one is really fast!"

Sentinel which is once again covered by ash claims that Bae's attack is nothing if he unsuccessful hit Sentinel.

Bae takes a deep breath. Super Slasher is the deadliest attack Bae has for now, but that attack can only repulse Sentinel without being able to hit him.

Plus that attack took a lot of energy, and he could only use it five times a day.

"Your right hand look like fully trained to be able to carry out such a powerful attack! I can see the potential in you. But unfortunately, that attack certainly has limits to use in a day, right?"

Sentinel looked directly into Bae's mind.

Being a half-immortal creature had a profound effect on monsters that still had thoughts. Their experience, strength, and intellect much different compared to those who still live briefly in the world.

Bae has known that fact since his attack just now was detained. That made him upset, he was at a loss as to how else he should fight that new enemy.

Even if he wanted to fight directly, it still quite risky, the fact that new enemy only doing defense made Bae can't act carelessly.

When everything was not according to plan, a colleague came to help.

"You moron. When fighting a stronger enemy, you should rely on shielder while analyzing enemy strength. "

Jerry came up with his shield to protect Bae.

"I don't need your shield to defend myself."

"But you need my shield to win. Never mind, don't be stubborn. Do you want to win this fight or not?"

Bae was indeed included in the Knights of the Fairy Tornado Agency, but instead, he seemed like a solo because he did not want to cooperate with others.

That's what made him not directly respond to Jerry's help.

The silent moment that occurred between the two knights gave curiosity to Sentinel.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Don't forget that I'm still here?"

Even though he was urged to continue fighting, Bae still didn't want to respond.

At such times Jerry knew what to do.

"Hm, you really are stubborn. Hey, Pickaxe Head!"

Now it was Jerry who provoked the Sentinel.

"Me?!"

"Yes, you! You were taking refuge in the soil you made since before! Are you that cowardly that you won't move from your position?!"

A stupid provocation. But the Sentinel accepted Jerry's challenge.

"Well, if you want me to move."

Sentinel changes its fighting style. Demonic Pickaxe was held tightly with both hands in a position preparing to cut behind his body.

Previously with Demonic Pickaxe, Sentinel could create hands made of earth that could be moved. Jerry has an estimate that that weapon of darkness can launch attacks while it's moving.

Sure enough, Sentinel leaped towards Jerry with Demonic Pickaxe swinging towards. Behind Demonic Pickaxe, a snake-like earth block was launched at Jerry.

The attack using a single block of earth like a snake that big enough to hit Jerry's entire body.

"Bae, watch out -! Wait, you already – !"

Jerry worried about Bae, though in the end, his worries were in vain.

In a short time, the snake block attack will hit Jerry.

"Shit! [Stone Majesty -]!"

Jerry raised his shield, immediately crushed by the snake block attack.

An attack as strong as that requires a large enough amount of energy and a long time to launch.

By imagining a block on the ground next to him, Sentinel pulled the block which he had marked as 'mana zone' he could launch as an attack.

The attack just now had a slow effect when the Sentinel fell. At that moment a young man was so eager to glide toward him.

In a position higher than Sentinel, Bae launched three attacks: "[Wind Majesty - Special Move: Triple Gale Slash]!"

The attack happened very fast. Sentinel only managed to protect itself by pulling up a block of earth from his attack just now. But his hurried defense was breached and one Bae's strike struck Sentinel's right shoulder.

Sentinel being thrown to the ground due to Bae's attack.

Returning to the back position, Jerry was completely buried due to the block attack just now.

"[Water Majesty - Special Move: Wave Strike]!"

Tom came up with an attack that destroyed blocks as thick as a human body.

After the block that pressed Jerry disappeared, he broke out.

"Gaahhh! Why do I have to be buried twice in one night!? I'm not dead yet!"

Even though he had just received such a powerful attack, Jerry looked just fine.

"You're fine, bud?!"

Tom reached out his hand to help Jerry who was still buried.

"Thanks, Tom!"

The attack just now was quite deadly. If only those who received the attack were not prepared, they might die just like the six colleagues who were killed before.

"Where is that bastard?"

"Bae just hit him down."

"Bae did that!?"

"Yes, but just hitting it once isn't enough."

Not far from where they stood, Sentinel rose with greater fighting intentions than before.

"Tom, I know you want to help. But don't act rashly. "

"You know I wouldn't do that."

After confirming their action, the two friends ran closer to Sentinel. With Jerry standing 10 meters in front of the Sentinel, and Tom stealthily far behind.

"Very good cooperation, knight!"

The risen Sentinel gives praise as if he has respect for Jerry and others.

After knowing that, Jerry has a question that concerns him.

"Hey, since you have a bit of friendship, may I ask you something?"

Jerry took the risk. Although he previously called Bae stupid because he thought their opponents in the form of monsters wanted to talk to.

Sentinels who do have a bit of friendship kindly accept Jerry's request: "Since you guys managed to give me a sense of shock after all this time, I gave you one question to answer."

Jerry took a deep breath. Try to arrange the right words to be used as questions.

While he was concentrating, the headquarters suddenly called out.

<Jerry, we will give you advice for ->

"Shut up! Don't surprise me!"

Headquarters intends to provide assistance. But Jerry suddenly scolded them.

Sentinel was confused by Jerry's sudden change of attitude.

"A! Sorry, I just thought of a question that I could ask him. So..."

<It's okay, then we give you the responsibility to extract information about Arcdemon from that Sentinel-class>

Jerry was just about to receive help from headquarters. But instead, he was given the responsibility to continue.

Sentinel-class who are still confused asking, "Did you just communicate remotely with someone?"

Jerry was surprised by Sentinel's knowledge.

Judging from its appearance, Arcdemon should have come from a different century and not as modern as the earth now. But Sentinel already knows the concept of communicating remotely.

That gave Jerry a better idea to ask.

"What were you guys before, are not demons?"

Jerry's question was truly unexpected. Even the headquarters were disappointed with the question.

<Jerry, you should be able to ask more reliable questions ->

"The first demon wasn't used to be a demon either."

Everyone no longer put their hopes in Jerry's silly questions. But Sentinel gave an unexpected response.

"The first demon, Lilith, was once an Angel who accompanied the father of all Humans, Adam. But because she did not want to pay respect to other humans, Lilith was condemned to become a demon. Starting from there, hatred was born and created another demon from the fruit of Lilith's hatred. "

Just like folklore mythology, the story of the Sentinel makes everyone listen to being stunned.

Behind the horror of Arcdemon, they were most likely all humans, just like Jerry and all living humans living now.

Despite having been given a very satisfying answer, Jerry smells a suspicious odor.

"Why do you disclose such important information so casually?"

"Because no matter what kind of information you get, soon the [Second Phase of Great Cataclysm] will occur. And you won't be able to defend against it."

The information just now was really bad, and that was certainly no longer a problem that could be dealt with by an agency or city. Because the fate of the world is at stake.

Despite hearing world-level threats, one person who has high arrogance doesn't budge.

"The destruction of the world, you won't stand against it, blah blah blah."

Bae who should still be hiding to look for opportunities to attack instead showed himself.

Emerald Halberd was directed to the Sentinel, then Bae shouted: "If you want to destroy this world, just destroy it now! Don't talk too much, you fu*ker!"

"I don't know what word you used to mock me, but if you want it, Then I'll do it. My escape route was closed, after all."

The Sentinel escape route, in other words, the Portal connected to Dark World has disappeared.

Tom and Jerry didn't realize that until they saw it directly.

At the location where there was an open portal before, there was an attack hole which was most likely caused by Bae.

With that, Sentinel raised Demonic Pickaxe, accepting Bae's challenge.

"But before that, I prefer that this battle is only between the two of us."

After saying that, Demonic Pickaxe swung vertically from top to bottom at Jerry's direction. A moment later, blocks made of the earth came racing towards Jerry.

Tom, still behind, realized that attack and shouted, "Jerry!"

The sudden attack of the block of blocks had no time for Jerry to avoid, "Dang it!". Withstand the attack just now with his shield, Jerry was thrown far back.

After the shield of the knights eliminated, only Bae and Sentinel were left. Tom who didn't move to attack didn't count as a threat, so he was ignored.

"Alright, let's continue this battle."
