Atlas: Lightning From The Wild West
30: NOT TO BE MATCHED

UNMATCHED

The fight continued, though Ignael and Iglea lit fires in all directions none of which hit Indra. At first, Ignael was the one who fought Indra. However, Ignael was in great difficulty. So Iglea would not help him. The whole yard was engulfed in flames.

Ignael and Iglea combine their magic and create a wall of fire that encloses Indra. However, even after fighting there for quite a long time. They have not been able to touch Indra.

"Damn! This guy is not what Ken said. We even put him in the fire. However, none of our attacks hit him" Iglea said.

"Of course, I'm sure you guys used this way to beat Ken. I just lost at speed. So, happy fighting" Indra replied mockingly.

Cheryl just watched from outside the prison Fire belonging to Ignael and Iglea, he was already exhausted, he was already unable to help Indra. However, it seemed like Indra was already intending seriously inside that fire prison.

"This fire is quite disturbing, it seems better put out" Indra said inside Ignael's wall of fire.

Black clouds have begun to appear in the dark sky, a sign that Indra's magic is ready. Indra drew his sword along with the lightning striking towards that wall of fire. The lightning strike was able to extinguish the entire fire there. After the red sword came out from its scabbard, a smaller bolt of lightning struck the sword. Instantly the sword lit up purple.

Cheryl could see Indra because the wall of fire that had blocked her view was gone. Cheryl was surprised to see Indra being able to master the magic sword technique in just a matter of hours. He increasingly believed that Indra was the son of Ignis, considering that Ignis' two preeminent children were no match for Indra.

Ignael and Iglea fell just by the lightning.

"Why? Just so?" Indra asked mockingly.

None of them answered as if they had resigned.

Indra slashed horizontally and threw lightning from within the sword towards Ignael and Iglea. They did not dodge and could only cover their heads with their hands. However, just before the lightning strike hit them, the lightning strike suddenly disappeared.

"Hows it? Still want to go on? I don't want to hurt you guys because after all I'm your brother, it's not good if I hurt my own sister isn't it? However, the story will be different if you insist on continuing" Indra said.

"Why do you have that medal?" Ask Ignael.

"I found it in the house, I mean, the debris of my house" replied Indra.

"Don't be disappointed in yourself. You are not weak. However, I am the one you cannot match" continued Indra.

"For now we will retreat" Iglea said.

"We will remember this" replies Ignael.

Ignael and Iglea then retreat with embarrassment.

"Sial... it seems that soon I will become a fugitive in the Southern Region" said Indra.

"INDRA!! YOU'RE OKAY?!" Ask Cheryl from a distance.

"I'M FINE" Shouted Indra as he waved his hand at Cheryl.

Indra then approached Cheryl and helped her up.

"Can you stand up?" Indra asked while sticking out her hand.

"Yes. However, I can't walk" Cheryl replied as she reached into Indra's hand.

Finally Indra tried to carry Cheryl.

"WAIT-WAIT!! INDRA!! YOU CAN HELP ME JUST WALK!!" Said Cheryl who was embarrassed.

"Lazy. I think this is more practical" Indra replied, ignoring Cheryl's words.

Tiana welcomes Cheryl who is being carried by Indra and takes her to the care room in the castle. Indra followed from behind.

"You okay?" Ask Indra.

"Just calm down, I'm fine" Cheryl replied.

"You sure?" Ask Indra again to make sure.

"Yes" Cheryl replied.

"You can relax, sir. Miss Cheryl only had minor injuries. However, it's good to keep resting first" said Tiana.

Indra and Tiana then came out for a while after giving the medicine to Cheryl.

"Tiana, I have one question" Indra said.

"You may ask me anything, Mr. Indra. As long as I still know the answer, I will definitely help" Tiana replied.

"Then do you know who Tessa is?" Ask Indra.

"Yes, I know about him. She was the wife of Lord Avalance who died during the Chaos Dragon attack hundreds of years ago. The shame is that she died while pregnant with Lord Avalance's first child" Tiana replied.

Indra was surprised by his reply, Indra thought Tessa might be Avalance's comrade-in-arms. But it turns out that it's more than that.

"Sorry, my question is strange" Indra said.

"If there's anything else you need, please call me" Tiana replied.

"Well, thank you, Tiana" said Indra.

Indra was actually just curious about a letter in the treasure room. It was impossible for an ordinary letter to be displayed in a treasure room.

Indra then went back into the treatment room. He sat down next to Cheryl, who was lying on the patient's bed. Indra thought about the story of Avalance and the woman named Tessa.

Hearing a little already makes Indra understand why the glare of Avalance's eyes is always full of sadness. Coupled with his fellow comrades who were also killed by Chaos Dragon. Then his own brother also chose the wrong path.

When Avalance returns home, Indra intends to ask the details of the events 300 years ago, where the Chaos Dragon rampaged and ravaged the Southern Region.

"Indra, what's wrong? You look dreamy all the time. Are you thinking of something?" Cheryl asked who kept observing the dreamy Indra. 

"ah! No. I just want to drink wine" replied Indra looking for an excuse.

"Then, let's ask for some wine later. I'm sure their wine is very high quality" Cheryl said.

Indra recalls yesterday the day that she and Misha and Miller enjoyed dinner with Avalance. Indra only saw one type of drink on the table, the Arunika Wine. The wine will only ripen in the morning. Arunika is also a good wine. So, Indra did not protest much. When Misha asked for another Wine, Tiana only said that the castle only had one kind of Wine. Sounds weird to Indra.

"That sounds good!" Indra.

"Damn it, you made me want to drink wine so much" Cheryl replied.

Because Cheryl said so, Indra came out and looked for Tiana to ask for a bottle of wine.

After getting it, Indra and Cheryl spent it in just a matter of minutes.
