Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Until the Last Drop of Blood

Moments before Gerda attacks Suzy, when the screams of the Banshees when they were just brought in by Suzy are heard by Ashley and make her helpless, also happens to Zacht.

"Yeahaaaaaaaaa!!" the screams of the Banshees were heard up to two hundred kilometers from where they had gathered. As soon as he heard it, Zacht lost consciousness while remaining on his knees with the rapier sword as its discoverer.

"Curtain!" grouse Maisie. Inevitably, he ignored Zacht. Then, he immediately chanted to bring in a protective field.

......................

The green light dazzled Zacht's gaze which immediately opened his eyes. "U-uwah! Glare!" his inner. As soon as he began to focus his gaze, Zacht found flapping brown wings and black spots, large black-orange eyes with additional feathers around his eyes, and pointed beaks. Yes, now Maisie is really "debuffed" into an owl in general. More specifically, Maisie became the Eagle Owl. Zacht was aware that he had fainted for a minute, and during that time, there was a lot going on in the two hundred kilometers ahead. Right now Gerda, the only mana she could still feel clearly. It happened so fast that he could barely keep up with the course of this battle.

Maisie landed on Zacht's left shoulder, then raised his left wing— gave a sign that he should return to Aurora immediately. "I-I understand!" zacht nodded. At the same time, they saw Ashley's unconscious body being carried by green-colored wind magic at high speed. "G - Grand Duchess Ashley?! Why he—oh no! If he hits his protector—"

Maisie flapped her left wing to pat Zacht on the head. A sharp look from him signaled that Ashley would be fine. "Well, I'll completely trust you, oh Forest Watchman, Dryad!" wearing the same manner when he came here, he returned to Aurora with teleportation magic.

......................

As soon as Zacht and Maisie reached the palace, Alicia and Hazell did not have time to ask. At the same time, the glass window in the throne room was smashed to pieces together with Ashley's arrival.

"Ashley?!" alicia and Hazell together. They immediately approached Ashley and checked on the condition of the Grand Duchess. "His mental condition is like being attacked by dark magic..," said Hazell, "this strong grip on her face adds to the pain her head feels...."

"Can you cure him?" alicia asked, "my current magic—"

"Just calm. I'll handle it." Hazell immediately rubbed her hands together. The two hands glowed red, then he brought his hands closer to Ashley's head. The healing process goes on.

"Bright...." Alicia took a long breath. "What's really going on?" he looked at Zacht who was carrying an owl on his shoulder. Zacht immediately told him what happened briefly, concisely, and clearly.

"Oh, yeah. So, this owl is Maisie, and the roots out there are protectors who protect their powerful magic thump and the screams that are capable of making Ashley like this. Beyond my guess, it's more threatening.... Well then, I'll give my little help to the kids there, to help Gerda immediately" Alicia said.

"What do you mean?" ask Zacht.

"This is the perfect time for my magical beast to take action!"

......................

The medieval house and Myra's whereabouts are nowhere to be seen today. The Half-Elfs, Dwarves, and Minotaurs were like that as well. The one there, was only the rest of the Crescent Void members and someone. "Crazy!" marcus looked at the person in front of him who was shining blue. "It looks like the four of us will just be spectators again...."

"Sad...!" Marcus clutched his hand. He grumbled that he knew he would be useless on the battlefield, but....

"Don't joke, Marcus!" the man in front of Marcus, Klutzie. "Of course I can't do this alone. My target is only one, and I am still not one hundred percent sure that I can actually defeat him.

"In addition ... Grand Duchess Ashley's been taking too long. What's going on in there...?"

Just after saying that, the butterflies moved toward the four. The crowd of butterflies surrounded each one, and they could hear Alicia's voice.

"Kids, listen to this and calm down. Anyone of you who already has a holy weapon, I will move you to the battlefield and immediately help Gerda who is fighting the enemy alone. Ashley's here with Zacht."

The five people who were here had been shocked but they remained on standby. Although Novalius could breathe a sigh of relief that his father was currently in the palace, he understood that Ashley, who was also in the same place, had experienced something terrible that had to retreat.

There was a time lag for Alicia to sense anyone who was already carrying the so-called weapon. "Where is this...? No, this is no time to be amazed. Kids, come back alive!" The butterflies were shining brightly, blinding their eyes.

......................

'CRANK!'

The giant ice ball that had previously squeezed Suzy, shattered into pieces, revealing her fine condition. However, without giving Suzy time to do anything, Gerda immediately slid towards him with the help of wind magic. With his magic wand, he made a transparent green sword. The sword fused with the stick— transparent part showing the stick.

He was about to slash Suzy with a downward swing, adding another magic to the sword.

"This fucking boy...!" inner Suzy, who saw Gerda was already in front of her eyes.

'MASSRKK!'

Gerda manages to slash Suzy, but only inches from her shoulder. "What-what?!"

With blood pouring from her shoulder, Suzy grinned. He gripped Gerda's right arm that was used to hold her wand and said, "Either if this is a weapon capable of destroying us, I won't let you defeat me just like that!

"I have lived in this world for hundreds of years, seeing tragedy after tragedy that never stops! Do you know what I lived for that long...?

Suzy tightened her grip to make Gerda groan in pain.

"I must fulfill the wish that the Dark Lord wants dead!"

'BWASSH!'

Suzy threw Gerda with a red-black magic ball. As soon as Gerda sprawled on the ground, the Banshees immediately screamed to make her condition worse.

Yet....

"Shut up!" suzy exclaimed, "this has become my problem with her! If you scream once more, I will completely wipe your core out of the world!"

Suzy then went down to land. "I didn't expect that, even though you weren't the Yggdrasil Seed, your strength could be like this, no matter if it was the Spirit Yggdrasil who trained.

"Man is just a creature that lives for its own sake. For the sake of accomplishing that wish, even if they had to kill many people, they were willing to do so!

"Then why, the Spirit of Ygg .. Why did Yggdrasil actually side with you?!"

Trying to get up despite trembling, Gerda answered him. "Party ...? You're wrong...."

"What?"

"Luna ... never once said .. she sided with Man .., but she would only.

"Revelopment of Aurora .. trained us .. and gave a little more about Zeeta for us....

"If ... Luna is taking sides.... Then why has he ... not shown himself since Zeeta was born into this world...?

"Creatures like you—let alone us .. who are only human, will not be able to ... match the Spirit of Yggdrasil.. yes, right?"

Gerda was already standing even though she was panting. He still holds his wand. "Magic attack from him earlier ... what exactly is...? My energy seemed to run out for a moment..," his mind.

"Acknowledging Zeeta's wish ... said you? Why...?"

Gerda was confused by the question. She wanted to ask Suzy back, why didn't she understand? Gerda smiled, took a breath, and answered. "Even though you have lived hundreds of years .. It seems that you still do not understand one important thing in life, and that is called trust.

"Zeeta initially did not trust us to be around him, for he was afraid that we would die in his presence. However, I, Big Brother Azure, and Mellynda managed to make him believe in us.

"If he is indeed afraid of losing us, then let us be by his side to fight with him. That way, we can protect each other!

"Zeeta .. is my most precious, most cunning, and most timid friend. I love him. Really am!

"Maybe Luna was already aware of this so she decided to trust us as well....

"Because that's ... to make him sure—no, to give him the strength to be the one to protect and support the world, reversing the flow of time he who became the Lord of Darkness as you call it, we're here to prove we can protect her!" Gerda threw her big smile.

Suzy clenched her hands. He was surprised by that smile. Not only because with a situation like this Gerda can smile, Suzy is also surprised because this smile makes her remember someone far in her past. He could not clearly remember who it was, but the big smile clearly reminded him. However, he did not like to remember this memory and he gritted his teeth.

Gerda who saw the pointy milestone was about to pierce through her eyes, she closed her eyes.

'STTT!'

Blood dripped onto the ground. Slowly, Gerda opened her eyes. "E-uh? My eyes are okay...?" as soon as he saw the blood on the ground, he saw the silhouette of someone protecting him.

"Faith from him and Zeeta gave us strength!" the pointed bollard that pierced through the sidelines of his left finger, was cut off with his right hand making sword magic.

Suzy was surprised by his arrival, she glared. "You?!"

Gerda was shocked when she realized who the silhouette's identity was. "You...?!"

"Finally you call me Big Brother, yes, my stubborn brother!" Danny looked back, showing his wide smile, even though he was still in a dilapidated state.

"Stupid! What the hell are you doing?! Your condition is such a mess, why are you—"

"Because Brother has to protect Brother. Isn't that what mom and dad always taught me? Until the last drop of my blood, I'll protect you, as well as Zeeta!" danny is still smiling.

Gerda bit her lip and almost dropped a tear when she heard it.

"Please wait, we can both get out of this situation!" Danny said. He then moved his right leg into a circle. Along with her, a ring of deep red flames blocked Suzy. Not stopping, Danny then pulled his left leg back, pulled each hand that held the twin blades to the side of the body, and coated it with black flames. "GET OUT OF THE WORLD!" his screams. He threw both knives in the opposite direction—right and kiri—where the two directions were flooded by Banshee. Each blade that had been covered in black flames grew bigger, allowing it to scorch the Banshees who were still silent at Suzy's orders in a single strike.

"Damn .. he's so cool..," said Gerda, "My brother is great!" he smiled softly.

Yet...

"Yes.you too!"

Danny and Gerda are out. Suzy appeared right in front of Danny and placed her left palm on Danny's left chest.

'DORROY!'

Blood splashed onto Gerda's face. He was at once running out of words. Suzy pierced through Danny's heart with the same attack that had just been thwarted.

Instantly losing consciousness, Danny was lying on the ground, next to Gerda who was still glaring at her blood-soaked brother. "Sister...? Hey, open your eyes! Hey!" call him. "Wakeup! Didn't you promise to protect Zeeta?!"

"Stop that!" suzy exclaimed, "he's dead! I broke his heart! Take it easy, I'll make you catch up with him and let him complete the promise of his crew, who want to protect you!"

'ZRAT!'

.

.

A cry fell from Gerda's eyes.

"Register ....

"My brother is the one I love the most....

"I'm sorry for being rude to you....

"I actually just want to pretend and play around. I honestly don't want any of this to happen but it's real....

"You and Zeeta are always in front of me. It's always like that. I want to catch up with you guys immediately, I want to quickly stand in line with you guys, I don't want to keep going ... to be someone who does nothing meaningful to you....

"I'm sorry I couldn't be the one to protect you....

"Dad, mom .. sorry.... We have to leave earlier than you....

"Zeeta .. sorry.. sorry because I can't keep my promise—"

.

.

.

.

"What do you know?" Gerda recalled her conversation with Zeeta. "I can restore my strength to what it was, because the grass that was there healed me! This world is weird, isn't it?!"

.

.

.

.

"If .. if by the power of the Spirit Yggdrasil, the Dragon, and the Dwarf who had forged this staff could feel what I felt....

"Please...."

Suzy saw Gerda whispering something. The green clump then grew around the two and absorbed the blood flowing from the brothers' bodies.

"Haha! Just a decoration to beautify your deaths, huh?! Hahahaha, humans are so stupid!"

Soon enough, it rains heavily, extinguishing the black flames of Danny and immediately turning the atmosphere completely silent. Nothing could be heard but the sound of falling rain on the ground and the sound of thunder as if nature were angry. The roots of Gerda's magic left on the ground, responding to the rainwater, then growing leaves and twigs. Seeing it, it naturally shocked Suzy.

He turned his gaze again towards Gerda and Danny who were already motionless with eyes that remained open. Suzy's view was empty. He doesn't know what to do after this. He felt he was not doing anything. Only the emptiness he felt. He then looked at his hand that still left Danny's blood.

"What ... is the truth ... I did...?

"Am I .. crazy...?" he looked up at the sky with an unchanging look.

When the remaining four members of Crescent Void, Marcus, Colette, Novalius, and Mellynda arrived there, they found this bitter look. "Gerda! Danny!" Mellynda ran over to the two, while the other three members gaped. "It's ... a lie, isn't it...?" said Marcus.

"Hey!" call someone very familiar Suzy. When Suzy turned her head, her "dead" gaze, came to life. "You ... Klutzie...?!"

Undebuted, Klutzie hit Suzy on the cheek with her right fist. Suzy's body spun in place before bouncing far back. The thump of his punch even caused the ground to be eroded long by hundreds of kilometers.

"I know you're angry, but control your power, Lutz! Those who die, can be affected!" exclaim Siren.

"No ... no! Don't do this, Gerda, Danny!" sobs began to pour from Mellynda. "You've been Zeeta's friends for a long time, haven't you? Then don't leave Zeeta alone! Don't .. don't do this don't do this. don't.. don't...."

Meanwhile....

'PRANG!'

Grilda was making coffee for Recko, breaking the cup and spilling the coffee onto the floor. Both have a bad feeling.

At the same time, Zeeta holds a pendant containing a photo of herself and the villagers of Lazuli. Her tears never stopped wetting the photo. "Willow ... Gerda.. I'm sorry. I'm sorry...."
