Without waiting for Marianna to come closer, Zeeta immediately acted. While using his Catastrophe Seal stick, he swung his right hand over— which gave rise to an ice-pointed cliff soaring into the sky. Then, he turned his hand several times—breaking the ice cliff into several pieces. After that, along with the backward jump, he lengthened the pieces of ice towards Marianna. Marianna of course took it for granted and was about to destroy it with her monster hand.
Yet....
Zeeta leaps backwards, not only giving her more distance, but from her feet, unbeknownst to Marianna, the roots of the savanna, she uses to tie Marianna—'s legs even when she touches it, some of its roots were instantly charred. Aware that from the feet alone is not enough, he forces both of his opponent's hands to be tied as well.
Unfortunately, the result was still nil, and Marianna managed to hit Zeeta and landed a heat attack on him. His punch had an effect on his left hand which instantly felt how much pain, soreness, and pain the wound was. "Gaaaakkhh!" his erang.
Despite this, Zeeta is still able to roll, then use his stick as a brake. At the same time, the ground, which was scratching its staff, quickly clumped and formed large fists that tried to attack Marianna. Realizing that just that would not be effective, Zeeta forces Marianna to soar into the sky after she stomps her right foot by making a cliff of land that catapults her. From the lower sides of the cliff, came the same three big fists. Two of them hit Marianna from the right and left, and the other one hit her backwards.
‘BYUSSHH!’
The sound bounced around him as if a cannon was fired. The final impact of the bounce was Marianna buried in the ground. Silence occurred for a while, while Zeeta was on standby for the next attack.
Later then....
The ground was emitting red light from below. An explosion followed him. Quickly, Marianna lunged again towards Zeeta, twisting three hundred and sixty degrees to speed up again. Zeeta gritted her teeth—then changed her staff with a shield.
‘BWYINGG!’
The shield did not suffer any damage after receiving a hard blow from Marianna with her fire-covered right hand. However, inversely proportional to him, Zeeta actually grimaced in pain. With just one hand, he was unable to withstand such a powerful attack. Zeeta bites her lips, tries to ignore the pain, then absorbs the magic from her hand into the shield. Aware that it was dangerous, Marianna quickly moved away but she was a few seconds late.
'KABWAAAMMU!!'
The explosion was so powerful that it caused ringed tree smoke, which again became the center of people's eyes. Zeeta and Marianna were blown away as a result.
“Hahahah...,” Zeeta's laughter with pain-resistant face, “already expected, Rune's power is indeed very great...” He was lying on the ground with a black stain on part of his body.
“GREAT, YOU SAY?!
“Tell me that you're serious about it too, Zeeta!”
Zeeta hears Ozy's voice again.
“Duh, come on Ozy, since when did you become noisy like Aria and Azure sister?
“Of course I'm serious! Don't you realize I've been using runes in my every attack?”
“You think your teacher's eyes can be lied to? Of course I'm aware! But I know you can be more than that!”
“With one hand?”
“....
"Yes.”
“Uegh. Who am I? Already, if you just want to chat, later on.” When Zeeta stood up, she realized that her shoulder was not too painful. Then he smiled. “Basic...thank you, yes, Reina...you guys too, Elf....”.
“Already expected, you can still be more serious than this.”
Zeeta is again plagued by voices, but now, not from Ozy. He had heard it yesterday, and he still remembered who the voice belonged to.

“Don't make me do anything, dong, Ifrit. I know what you mean talk to me.”
“Oh...? Try saying. A human like you, moreover you are still a naive brat, considering being able to understand the thought path of an Ancient Spirit like me?”
“Cih. Fucking rune!”
“Not that I want to reject your offer of help to heal my shoulder, but once you do, I will also definitely have that ability.”
“Have?! So arrogant!
“That's a contract!”
“Ah .. uhm. Like that's.
“I'm glad you want to help me again after resurrecting me, but .. if this time—with the strength I've been practicing for six and a half years doesn't prove—at least to myself....
“I feel I have no self-respect. Both as a Man and a Princess. What's more..”.
“Hmm?”
“Honestly, I'm afraid.”
As it was electrocuted, Ifrit who was residing in .. was interrupted by the fearful speech from Zeeta.
Zeeta is breathing. He then turned his shield into a magic wand, then he twisted it— made a cloud slowly cloudy—so it slowly darkened and brought thunder. Just after doing so, Zeeta turns up, then sticks her stick, then followed by a bowing motion.
With a speed that did not change, as Zeeta lowered her head, Marianna came with a foot strike. Missing, he continued by twisting a little of his body to the right, then punching. With the help of his Kaunaz Rune, he could avoid it by rolling on the ground. The missed attack made a hole around the head. Zeeta did not stay silent after his head was threatened with being crushed by his feet he used to clean. The ground was made like a rope, then pulled Marianna back and immediately slammed her to the ground. After slamming, Zeeta stands up, and uses her right hand to turn the rope to tie Marianna. The Nauthiz rune looked above the magic of that land.
However, again Zeeta is made to grit his teeth. “Damn it, Aurora is indeed very strong, to the point that I feel annoyed myself!” snarl.
Marianna could still rebel— who slowly destroyed Zeeta—'s magic when before, the rune was able to force her to weaken.
Zeeta pulls out her wand, then wears it like a broomstick. He swooped into the dark sky and entered through it. Not staying silent, Marianna followed him.
......................
Meanwhile, Hazell, several palace guards, and dozens of large mana owners, filled the front courtyard of the palace. Among the owners of the great omnipresent, there was the nobleman of flowers, Orchid; a Levant doorman, Ebenezer; and Arthur. There were also local nobles from each city of his territory, which could be known from the way they dressed. They are recovering from Guinerva Hospital, Crescent Void; Marcus and Danny.
Currently, the owners of the huge mana were waiting for the arrival of Scarlet— as the originator of their collection request. It was in the midst of them waiting that a fight capable of blowing up anything nearby, or even changing the weather in a short time between Zeeta and Marianna— occurred. In addition to being shrouded by curiosity what Scarlet wants to say later after her appearance in “dahsyat” time like this, those who are called also "do not want to know" what happens to Zeeta and Marianna after a catastrophic fire-light tornado.
Then, not long after, Scarlet came. Before his form was seen intact by his people, Scarlet said firmly, “There is no need to lower your head or any other formality! Right now—we all have to work together regardless of status!” after that, Scarlet showed her form. Smiling faces greeted them, especially at Arthur.
“No time to waste. Listen to me carefully, Aurora people are strong and brave!” scarlet exclaimed with her voice. Those who have lived in the glory days of Scarlet, feel the longing terobati—so make touched.
“Do it after I say it, so listen carefully!
“The battle of Zeeta and his enemy this time is very dangerous, you must have seen it for yourself. There's nothing we can do in that fight, even for me, Alicia, and Hazell as her own family!
“But!
“There are other things we can do by uniting our forces....
“It...”.
All those who heard carefully, were wide-eyed afterwards.
“A-what is it possible to do, Mistress?!” ask Arthur.
“Of course! I won't call you when this is impossible!”
“Astaaaga... I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't help Her Highness Zeeta directly, but, well. if we can help her, we're ready, Mrs Scaaarlet.” Orchid bit the rose in his pocket.
Scarlet grinned widely. “Now, do as per my commandments, brave people!”
“YAAA!!”
