The Knight Eldania S2
23: Eldania

“ SHOOT!. “ 

A shot managed to land among the horde of monsters that came.

Several explosions ensued, giving the noise quite deafening. 

“Argghh...!“ One of the men slammed backwards quite forcefully after being hit by a blow from one of the monsters that hit him. 

CTANGS…………

CTANGS………..

“ How is this? We are overwhelmed by the number of those who exceed the number of our troops, sir! “ shouted one of the knights, seeing the situation getting chaotic with the number of enemies that felt endless.  

“ Where's Irine?! “ asked Duke Avrel when he saw no sign of the witch girl. 

“ N-nona...” this knight glanced to the right side slightly forward. “She's there!“ pointing to one woman who just stood there.

CRASZH……..

After successfully killing one monster, Duke Avrel looked back. He saw Irine just standing up but with a dumbfounded face. [What made him express himself like that?!] thought.

It was like the expression between being surprised was also scared.

[When did the boy look like he was scared? ] while still looking at Irine who was just silent, suddenly Duke Avrel saw the girl had now started swinging her right hand up, but with a super anxious face. 

Then a lightning bolt struck.

RRR………!.

Success made everyone and monsters who were fighting each other look to the source of the origin of the lightning that suddenly came.

“ I-it what?!“ 

“ B-big once?! “

“ Duke Avrel was stunned. [Human half-snake?! A demon?!] Avrel also saw a large figure from the body of a woman whose half body was a snake.

“Walah-walah..., the lightning was enough to tickle my skin. “ lyrics of this half-snake woman, to Irine who had just cast lightning magic to him, but all it got was a tickling sensation.

This woman had just come out from the ground, and it was this creature that made Irine feel a great pressure based on an intimidating feeling.

“ Dia-“ Feeling the pressure from the aura is quite cold, making Irine take a step back.

After glancing towards Irine, she changed her gaze to look at the humans and monsters who had stopped fighting due to her arrival. 

The long-haired woman, with half the body of the snake then smiled broadly, saying. “ I praise your unwavering determination against my children, even though you already know that today is the last day of your life. “

“ Gawat...!“ feeling the goosebumps all over his body, this mercenary immediately retreated.

“ We can't win! Run on! “

Not only three four people, most of the knights and mercenaries immediately ran away to avoid his death. 

“I don't want to die here-”

BRAKK…..

The tail of his snake body, managed to hit some humans who were about to escape it. “ Very noisy, human. “ was disturbed by the noise of the fear of the humans who fled it.

“ What exactly do you want? “

“ Duke..!“ One of the knights who did not run away slightly shouted at the man shaking the Duke, for suddenly asking the obvious purpose.

The half-snake woman replied. “ Very fragile and weak little creatures. Are you still pretentious pretending you don't know?“

“ Between know and do not know, at least say your destination, why suddenly appear in times like this?“ said Duke Avrel who still did not show the slightest fear to the large creature in front of him.  

“ I am currently feeling very hungry. You will be a sacrifice for me. Maybe you will feel bad, but you are still food. “ replied this woman.

“ Deep breath, Irine!. You'll still be scared, but your muscles will relax. “ Duke Avrel's orders to the frightened Irine. 

Irine who heard the order from her master, immediately replied. “ Good. “ 

Duke Avrel and Irine both took a deep breath, even Evan had both tried to do so. Before long, the three of them started to relax a little and were able to move.

GLUKK…….

They swallowed their own saliva, worrying about their abilities that were not comparable to theirs became their doubt.

“ Hehh...” with his cunning smile, the half-snake woman who had ten snake child heads on her body instantly moved to target the remaining humans in front of her.

Each mouth that opens, immediately raises fire shots that are enough to make the wall instantly destroyed. 

DHUARR……

“ Evan, Irine, get ready. “ Duke Avrel's orders. “ Humans may indeed look small in your eyes, but we are not as weak as you say. “ Avrel add.

Evan and Duke Avrel had already prepared with their swords, while Irine prepared with her position to attack the creature from the side that will not be reached and ensure it can protect the people behind her who are running backwards.

“ Hyaahh....!.“ Avrel and Evan then ran along with the sword already in his hand, they both began to attack.

Dark, cold, mixed aroma from humid room temperature.

[This place, contains many eggs.] This girl started to enter a place known as the temple of blood. 

He tried to venture from the hiding place of the only large beast he had guessed as the mother of all the eggs present in this nest.

A gloomy cave shrouded by thousands of eggs was protected by webs made of blood flow, making it even more revealing of its horrors.

Eldania who was slightly walking closer to one of the eggs, suddenly saw a human-like figure appear and wanted to get out.

[What is it still called human?. He seemed to have turned into something else.] thought Eldania, then walked away. Because after all he did not want to make the creature inside the egg come out, he did not want to sympathize with the humans inside there because in the end it was always troublesome.

Eldania decided to continue his exploration while the owner of this blood temple residence was away. 

Keep walking, get deeper, and get inside. On his way there was a snake bone that was still intact, but that did not stop him from continuing inside.

At one point, he found a large room.

“ Who? “ 

One soft voice made Dania wander to seek from the owner of the voice, but there he was alone. 

“ Say your name. “ Her voice fills the whole room.

“ Eldania. “ answer. He tried to wait between the appearance of the owner of this voice, or the next question.

“ Eldania, are you the man who was predicted to kill me? “

“ I don't know. Do I know my future will kill you?. So I don't know" said Eldania with a slight frown.

" Hahaha.really too. From the very beginning you were a human being who had no reason to kill me. "

" Who knows that?"

" Yes.who would know that in the next second you would kill me if I did something that threatened you. "

"......................" Eldania speechless. He will not deny that one sentence. " Give yourself. “ pinta Dania, to the voice that constantly asks her questions, but she does not yet know what the owner of the voice looks like. 

“...............................” After his immersion, a pond with red water that was blood, suddenly gave rise to a wave. After that, the thing that first appeared was a head, and as time passed the human-like tangible beings continued to walk out of the pond. 

The figure of a little girl with red hair is quite long, so that makes her long hair was braided to the back. But both of his hands were sealed with quite a long chain that was tied to something that was inside the pond. What is it, Eldania doesn't know.

Successfully pulled out of hiding, this girl walked closer to the man who was standing, Eldania.

“ So you're Eldania?“ ask this girl to Eldania. 

“ Right, I'm Eldania. “ she replied.

This red-haired girl looked at Eldania from top to bottom, then said. “ I thought you were that guy. “

[Who does he mean?] Eldania began to be curious about his words.

“ You have the same scent as him. So I thought, you are that person. “ he said again, pointing at Eldania with his own index finger.
