The 5 Elemental Lord
Find a way out
The imperial prince nodded in understanding of Zeno's words, although he was still very trembling from Zeno's extremely violent clash.
He was so aware that Zeno's words had a point, he shouldn't have sat down crying from earlier and hoping for help. Plus he was a little embarrassed when he prostrated to Zeno so that he could be helped out of here, even though Zeno himself was also trying to get out.
Zeno who understood the nod of the imperial prince instantly released a grip on his shirt. Even so upset, the clothes he was clutching looked a little torn indicating that Zeno was gripping too strongly.
The imperial prince rubbed his tears that were about to drip. "All right, I'm sober. Come on, what are we gonna do to get out of here." Said the imperial prince in such a high tone.
Selena smiled after the imperial prince was a little stern than before. His pride rose a little more than he begged and kowtowed to Zeno.
"Good, you better find a way out by circling the lake, be careful about lightning strikes." Zeno.
The imperial prince as well as Selena nodded at Zeno's statement, they agreed to circle the lake to find a way out.
"Without you alone?" Selena asked Zeno, because she was confused about Zeno who told her to, but what Zeno himself would do.
"Well, you can get out!"
As usual when Zeno called out to Kiba, Kiba emerged from behind a gust of wind that whirled into a tiger, Auman who was so clearly heard instantly as Kiba appeared.
Selena and the imperial prince took a few steps back when they found a beast appearing before them. Selena took her sword and prepared to attack Kiba, while Rouya Ama, she just took a swing with her body shaking as if afraid of Kiba.
Both of them were so alert when Kiba came out, because they did not know that the beast belonged to Zeno, they thought that Kiba came by itself and would attack all of them.
But Zeno ordered Selena to lower her sword. Because Kiba is not a no-man beast, Kiba is a loyal beast who always accompanies Zeno.
"I didn't expect that you had a beast." Selena said while putting her sword back in.
"Then, what are you going to do with your cat beast?" He asked Zeno.
"Cat huh? Have you ever heard of a flying cat? I'll show you how great my cat is." Zeno raised the tip of her lips, making Selena go silent for a moment.
Zeno directly climbed onto Kiba's back. He then ordered Kiba to fly under the dark cloud. But the problem is, is Kiba able to avoid when he was struck by lightning? So that makes Zeno hesitant when he wants to see outside using Kiba.
"Master take it easy, Kiba was able to avoid the lightning strike, so that you could sit up humbly." Kiba.
Zeno finally agreed and was convinced after being briefed by Kiba. Although he also had time to doubt, whether Kiba can avoid the lightning, coupled with Zeno who rode Kiba looks very vulnerable to being struck by lightning.
"Are you so sure Kiba?" Zeno asked who convinced himself.
"Surely." Kiba eventually takes his master flying, or rather Zeno.
Zeno's purpose in flying was, he wanted to see if he could get out by flying through all the forests surrounding the lake?
In fact Zeno could not see the country's lightning countryside from a distance, he only saw a stretch of forest that was seen indefinitely using the reach of the naked eye.
"Damn." Zeno gritted his teeth, he was really almost desperate after there was no way out through the air passage.
"What do you have to do?" Zeno said to his little heart, his confusion growing bigger just because of finding a way out, he was a little regretful for being too bold to enter this suffering lake.
The deafening roar of lightning, moreover Zeno was also very close to the black clouds. His hair at a glance stood up all signifying as if he was like a madman.
Who does not know the rumors about hair standing when under the black clouds with thunderous lightning, Zeno really knows the rumors. But Zeno was less confident about the rumors of hair standing up after lightning.
"Oh no, sir, we're forced to go down." Firmly Kiba after seeing Zeno's hair stood up as a whole.
True what Kiba said, the rumor was not wrong, standing hair will indicate that someone will be struck by a great lightning. Zeno remembered this from his mother's fairy tale. Zeno did not believe the rumors.
"What relation? Hair standing and lightning strike?" That's what Zeno's little heart said when he heard the story from his mother.
But now that he felt himself, Zeno's hair standing up did indeed signal that lightning was about to strike him. He obeyed Kiba's word for down, because he didn't want to be exposed to unwanted things.
The lightning strike made Zeno feel kapok, especially when his hair stood up signifying that he would be struck by intense lightning, natural lightning without human intervention.
Indeed, Zeno had always felt dizzy thinking about it. What is the connection between standing hair and lightning strikes? Is it a spirit? Or the god of lightning who gives warning? Zeno really could not answer the question he made himself.
Zeno's hair slowly went down as usual. But unfortunately, Zeno's hair is constantly coming down, which indicates he has not reduced the sense of trembling when under the clouds.
"Zen, is there a way out?" Selena runs towards Zeno after she learns that Zeno has descended from the clouds.
"No, I just saw the woods. Only a vast forest surrounds this lake." He answered with a very serious look.
"Are we all changing dimensions? We're supposed to be behind the hill, not behind the woods." Rouya Ama.
"Prince, has anyone ever come out of this lake?" Zeno asked Rouya.
"There was, that is, my own father, but unfortunately, as he came out, his body was covered in scratches covering his body. As a result, after a few days, my father died, because there was poison attached to one of the scratches." Said Rouya lowering her face while recalling the past that made her shed tears.
"Well, that's why the current empire is led by a woman, the emperor Shima Ama, or the mother of the prince Rouya himself, because at this time there is no proper successor." The word Selena connects Rouya's words.
"Rash? It means there's a beast hidden here. It could be said that defeating the beast was the same as reopening the gate." Zeno thought for a moment while touching his chin, from Rouya's story about his father coming out of the lake with a claw wound, it was certain that Rouya's father had indeed fought a big fight with a beast.
