A deathly silence had been settling in for a while now, ever since… They left Theos fighting the Sacred Dragon.
Luna and Camilla flew upwards, towards the top of Godria. But still, neither of them were happy.
‘Will he be all right,’ Luna wondered, a question she had asked herself over a hundred times in her head.
‘Could it be that I was wrong to leave him there? I know very well that he wanted to buy time for us to go grab the potion, but still… Maybe I should have stayed and supported him,’ thought Camila, her eyes conveying a bit of her regret.
However, now they couldn’t go back at all. Theos had beaten them by quite some time against a Supreme Rank Dragon.
Remembering that Dragon, Luna only had to shake her head. She knew all too well
how dangerous someone in a Supreme Rank could be.
Very few mortal people in the whole world, possibly counted on hands can be of Supreme rank.
Worry and anxiety shone in Luna’s black
eyes. However, she pressed on, as did Camila.
But… Is the tension between the two of
them just because they left Theos?
Not exactly…
Luna wanted to stay to help him; however, Camila, with her Grand Master’s strength,
took Luna flying to the top of Godria.
Luna couldn’t do anything, not even
scream because that would alert other dragons.
And thus, the intense silence between the two. With a very resentful and resentful Luna, while with a regretful and worried Camila.
Fortunately, the silence was broken by a few words from Luna with astonishment and bewilderment: “Look! That glow…”
Hearing what Luna said, Camila looked in the direction she pointed, seeing a faint, bright golden light. “That’s it…” she
muttered.
Instantly, the two girls flew there at a high
speed. They had gone several minutes without seeing any abnormality so far, so
seeing this now meant only one thing… A
treasure.
Landing on one of the giant branches of the tree, at the end of the same branch was
the fully golden light.
However, the two saw a peculiarity in the
distance. A man, or rather, an old man in
his 70s, with wrinkles and white hair. However, his eyes were black, as if he were possessed.
“On guard,” Camila alerted, drawing her
sword and positioning herself for the
future confrontation.
Luna also drew her weapons and two daggers, positioning herself in a fighting stance of her own.
The distance separating them was not
much, if not about 20 meters, with the old man seeming to protect and block the way to the peculiar bright light.
“Hello… Hello… Hello… Hello,” the old man
greeted repeatedly.
However, they did not seem to be speaking
to anyone in particular, staring into the
void itself.
Camilla’s eyes grew colder. “This guy… He’s
a human, but at the same time, he doesn’t look like one,’ she thought.
She didn’t know why, but she felt that the
person in front of her was not a human as a
whole; he had some kind of energy, a
natural aura that she couldn’t identify.
Luna’s eyes narrowed as well. ‘Fighting is inevitable, better to strike the first blow to see what the enemy is capable of,’ Luna concluded, deciding that that would be the best option right now.
Bringing her hand with her, under Camila’s
surprised eyes, Luna threw one of her daggers at full
power.
Luna didn’t reserve anything but threw the dagger with all her physical strength.
*Boom*
“Huh?”, Luna gasped, surprised.
In less than a second, the old man had
grabbed Luna’s dagger, only to subsequently break it mercilessly. Camila frowned, this time, she decided to
take the battle completely seriously, just like Luna.
‘This means that we are possibly facing a Grand Master rank,’ Luna concluded. She came to this conclusion because an
Expert would have parried her attack with a blow, while a Master had a high chance of
parrying her dagger, but not in such a
simple way as what the opponent in front of her did.
You know, Luna has physical capabilities
superior to that of a normal Advanced, she
could easily match Peak Advanced as far as physical strength is concerned.
“That’s… Everything?” the Elder asked, his
voice haunting and full of disappointment echoing through their minds.
Elder was finally ready to begin his
offensive. But he was stopped by a green-eyed shadow.
*Swosh*
The green-eyed shadow, Camilla, moved so
fast and so suddenly that the old man could barely see her. He could only come
to his senses when she was close to him.
Instinctively, the old man placed his arms to block Camila’s attack, a slash that, by its power and speed, could cut anyone in half.
And so it was.
*Drop*
Two arms flew off to who knows where,
but what is certain, is that they left the Godria forest.
Yes, a single slash, a single slash was
enough to send a pair of arms flying. However, the old man didn’t wince or
wince, no scream or anything, he just stood
there, silent and saying nothing. “Camila, watch out!”
Just as Camila was beginning to suspect
something was wrong, there came a shout from behind, from Luna herself. Perhaps out of instinct, skill, luck, or all of those things combined, Camila ducked, propelling her legs slightly to slide
backward.
*Swosh*
The cut of the wind echoed through the silent battlefield.
Camila only had to look up to notice… An axe, an axe made of a strange and grotesque type of Mana she had never seen
before.
‘That axe… It almost cut my head off,’ Camila thought with a shudder.
Just seconds ago she had been a single second away from losing her life. Just seconds ago she had been a single
second away from losing her life.
The coldness in Camila’s eyes grew stronger, at the same time as the Dragon
scales appeared, further strengthening her
skin.
Her reptilian eyes seemed to be watching her next prey! Luna, on the side, also saw the axe
suspended in the air, but with a different
kind of thought, as she… She had seen that Mana.
The same Mana that Theos used, the Mana of Death.
