Noon. The scorching sun that was at its breaking point, was adding to the pain received by the students of Dormant Academy. Yes, they've been cured by Willmurd and Ashley, but that's still not enough. Where they haven't been recovered enough. But one of them, who had previously spoken quite close to Alicia, opened his eyes after becoming a victim.
That guy was a guy of the same age— one year older than Alicia, straight-haired blackish brown and had slightly squinty dark red eyes. He wears the Dormant— Academy uniform just like the others— which is a short white shirt, black tie, and long white robes that have been dirty due to soil stains, and on the back there is the Dormant emblem, which is also used as a, a butterfly in blue.
After a while he remembered what had happened, he stood up, then relaxed his neck and arms. Shortly after, Erigona who had previously split up, came to him. The man's dark red eyes seemed to light up, then he said in a steady tone, "Wait for me Alicia. I'll save you!"
Meanwhile, at the same time as the man regained consciousness, Erigona was present near Hellen and Arthur.
"Who-what is this? Was that Erigona before?" arthur's mind, "*a*pa should I do? I can't do anything like this! To protect Miss Hellenia I won't be able to!" Arthur pressed his hold on Hellen. And without Arthur realizing it, Hellen did something to his wound.
......................
Willmurd and Alicia are about to face off against Erigona, sensing Ashley's mana is weakening.
"What is... why does it belong to Master...?" muttered Alicia. He sculpted.
"Don't tell me he's already..," Willmurd murmured.
Hearing their words just now, Erigona tilted her head until it looked like it was broken, then smiled broadly. "It's over!" his yell.
Alicia gripped her hand, looking at her opponent with emotion. "Oh, so?" he said, "then I'll be serious."
Her semicircular moon earrings were glowing. A purple-colored aura emerged from the earrings then enveloped his body. Seeing the mana change from Alicia, Erigona confirmed the position of her head and licked her lips—like she was waiting for a delicious meal to be eaten.
"Daughter of Alicia, don't force yourself!" willmurd was worried about him.
"Calm down, Mr. Will," replied Alicia, "you better worry about your safety first. Today, your son's getting married, isn't he?" Alicia smile.
"But... You're more important thanpa—"
"Don't do it, Mr. Will." Alicia began to move her legs closer to Erigona while concentrating her mana on her right palm. "Everybody has a family, and I know how important a family is." He then ran to Erigona.
"I knew my attack would definitely sink in. You also must know that my mana is delicious, right?" alicia's mind is running. "Then eat this!"
Alicia who was close to Erigona then threw herself with magic in the legs to punch the core that was in the stomach of the magic creature. However, just before his right fist landed on him, he split in half.
"What-what?!" Alicia surprised.
"Daughter Alicia!!" Willmurd intends to save Alicia as quickly as he can, however....
From her split body, she traps her hands all over Alicia's right arm. Therefore, Alicia's plan to destroy Erigona's body with absorbed magic, thus making most of her mana absorbed.
"Damn! I'm too naive!
"BUT!!"
Alicia did not run out of ideas to fight this enemy.
"Daughter, I'll save you!" pekik Will then ran.
"Don't, or you'll get hit!" reply Alicia.
Realizing that Alicia is about to do something, Erigona accidentally releases Alicia and then moves away from her. A moment after her arm slipped off, Alicia fell to her knees.
"Haaah .. haaah...." Alicia saw her hands tremble.
"For a newly born magical creature like you .. It seems you can know the danger that is approaching you, huh?" alicia said, "even so .. You're still insensitive to her." Alicia smile.
"Huh?" Erigona tilted her head. Shortly after, he panicked. "You... You set me up?!"
"Hoo? Kausadar?" Alicia smiled wryly.
Erigona's body slowly swelled up, which gradually grew and continued to grow.
"Si-shit! I want that good thing again!"
'BWHAAMM!'
The body of one of Erigona's clones exploded until it shattered unceremoniously.
If Erigona hadn't stayed away from Alicia, she could have exploded with Erigona. Therefore, he ordered Willmurd to stay away, so that Erigona would take her distance because she was vigilant. Although naive and very risky, Alicia managed to defeat Erigona. However, due to the loss of much of his mana, he ended up slamming to the ground and lost consciousness.
"Daughter Alicia!" Willmurd immediately ran to Alicia and healed her.
......................
The kingdom of Aurora, since it first existed, has five main walls. The first wall; that is, the wall to be the outermost protection of the kingdom, also included in the South— Region excludes villages located outside the kingdom, such as Lazuli and Lapis for example. Then there are three other walls that line the main areas of the kingdom; such as the North, West, and East. Then the last; is the wall that lines the royal palace.
Villages located outside the kingdom do not mean they do not have protection. If the main nobles have the right sense of responsibility, then the villages will always be protected even though they are outside the kingdom. For example, if the villages in the Northern Region were a problem of magic creatures or other threats, but the main nobles of the Northern Region were not in the position of the Territory, he said, then the other major nobles were allowed to take evacuation measures or emergency protection by entering the people into the kingdom.
Now, this is what's happening. All the villagers in each of the main areas of the kingdom were evacuated. This could be done in just thirty minutes since Emergency Alert One was announced by Brandia, Orima, and Elze, because of their teleportation magic and magic tools that allow to move places within a certain distance instantly, called Glass Port.
The royal soldiers, by order of Scarlet, were on standby at every wall of the main territory in full preparation. Although it seemed that something tense was about to happen, Scarlet still did not tell why she did this all of a sudden, even to the main nobles who were currently with her at the gate of the Southern Region.
The nobles who had gathered, felt Alicia's mana drop dramatically all of a sudden.
"Queen ... Princess..;" said Brandia, with an anxious face.
"No. Whatever happens, they won't be helped" Scarlet replied, "we have a big responsibility here." Scarlet gripped her hands firmly.
Orima and Elze could only silently stare at the grip of their Queen's hand.
Moments later, Scarlet opens a portal of her magic. The portal shows the village of Lazuli. "Follow me," he said as he entered the portal.
When they reached the deserted village of Lazuli after the evacuation, he took out his Magic Book. "You too!" his orders. They follow Scarlet's orders without knowing what she really means.
"Queen Feline, get your nose out right now!" scream Scarlet.
"Eh?!" Orima, Brandia, and Elze were so shocked after hearing that.
"A-a-a-what are you going to do, Your Majesty?!" Brandia is panicking.
"Shut up and be ready with your magic. I'm sick of what they did" replied Scarlet. He answered her while looking at the forest across from them.
The main noble looked coldly sweaty. Inevitably, if they had seen Scarlet like this, they could only obey her orders.
A few moments later Feline showed herself.
"I've been watching you since you ordered Emergency Order One, what do you want to do?" ask Feline.
"Oh? You keep an eye on us, huh? Then, tell me, where is Morgan?"
"Morgan...?" muttered Elze, "The one who is always with you, Your Majesty?"
"Yes. He thought I didn't know what he was going to do. Who am I to be considered a pebble...?" scarlet replied, "Queen Feline, you sent Morgan to me. I don't want to say that you're the one who told her to evolve Erigona into perfect form, but tell me where she is!"
"W-what?! Morgan who...?" Elze can't believe it.
"Hmm...? You mean... Morgan deliberately wanted to take Miss Alicia's life?!" asked Brandia, whispering to Elze.
"Yes. She also wanted the Grand Duchess" Elze replied.
"Hey hey hey... What do you mean we're going to war with the Elves?!" Orima panic.
"No, you shrimp brain!" scarlet chuckled, "just because one Elf looks like Morgan doesn't mean all Elves are equal to her."
"I'm sorry for our discourtesy. I'm being squeezed by time" Scarlet said, representing her subordinates.
"Hm." Feline frowned, "then, what do you mean take out that Magic Book? What threat are you going to make? Just so you know, without me you wouldn't be—"
"Be aware of the situation, you insensitive Fairy! Are you really going to assume that we came here without any preparation, if there's something in the woods that you're hiding?"
Feline looked a little surprised. "How could you know?" tanyakanya.
"I said, what's the point for you? Now, more importantly than that, quickly tell me where Morgan is!"
"You're really a Human who's very easy to get enemies, yeah, Scarlet." Feline smiled.
Hearing this, Scarlet gnashed her teeth. "Quick say, Fairy! My daughter's life is under threat!"
Feline doesn't seem to want to change her decision. "Scarlett. Don't you want the easiest way to avoid Aurora's future getting brighter?" ask Feline, "why don't you just let Alicia die at Erigona's hands, and that kid named Zeeta won't be born a destroyer of the world?"
Brandia, Elze, and Orima were shocked to hear it.
A dark red aura appeared with its pitch. The ground shook, the birds flew in fear. His red eyes lit up.
Brandia, Orima, and Elze could only be stunned and hope that everything would be fine.
"You're really serious about saying that, after three hundred years? If you want an easier one, why would you let Aurora's kingdom live?"
Feline smiled. "Haha. Relax, I'm just kidding. Morgan was in the forest of the Western Region, he was still enjoying his spectacle."
The dark red aura disappeared suddenly, "Everything, I'll—"
"If you're ready with Emergency Order One, you better stay here. Erigona is no match for them, if in large numbers," said Feline.
"Don't-don't...?!" Scarlet looks panicked.
"I don't know, you're definitely staying here. I'll help you defend."
Scarlet lost her Magic Book, followed by another major noble.
"I'll never forget what you just said whether it was a joke or not. For now, I'll keep your game, Queen Feline." Scarlet opened the portal to the warrior headquarters.
Without answering Scarlet, Feline could only smile and follow Scarlet from behind.
Meanwhile, at the same time....
......................
Hellen and Arthur, who were dealing with another Erigona clone, were still in the same position— for some time. With a slow step, Erigona was ready to eat where she felt from them. He prepares his pointed hands.
Seeing that Erigona was getting closer to them, Arthur was getting closer to Hellen. "Miss, forgive me for almost an hour, just being able to go silent without doing anything" said Arthur, "I feel ashamed and unworthy to have touched a major noble like you...."
"Arthur, if you can fight right now, are you sure you can beat him?" ask Hellen.
"Y-yes, I'm sure."
"If it's one to ten, how confident are you?"
"Nine."
"Oh?" Hellen smiling. "Do it!"
"Eh? Th-but...."
"Are you so eager to hug me that you don't realize your back is back to normal?" ask Hellen. "*Kyaaaa! Why can I say it so confidently?
"Ba-ba-what if he's aware of my feelings*?!"
"O-oh...? You're right!" without taking off the crack on Hellen, Arthur lifted him up and made a distance from Erigona. Right now, he was carrying the style of the princess, and it managed to make the seventeen-year-old girl beat fast and red as a tomato.
"Hellen, can you stand up?" ask Arthur, who got carried away. Hearing herself being called by a direct name, made Hellen even more thumping.
"I-I'm not strong.." said Hellen. This time he was honest in his heart.
"All right, leave it to me. I'll get this over with quick." Arthur makes a floating pink cotton cushion and sits Hellen there.
"Which belongs to the Princess and the Grand Duchess is weakened, I don't have time to play with you!" arthur exclaimed, giving off a white aura.
He made something of his magic, a vacuum cleaner whose head was made meljong. "If you absorb, I'll absorb you too!" he said it, while being one hundred percent sure that he was cool.
But, the show of strength was not so he did. Suddenly, Erigona disappeared like smoke.
"W-what's that...?" Arthur removed his "dust cleaner.
Suddenly, he heard a man's voice.
"Arthur, do you hear me?!" scream that voice. He sounded panicked.
"Hazell Levant, huh? What's up?" ask Arthur. Hellen heard Arthur speak for himself.
"Don't ask me anything, how about where you are? Are you all right?"
"Yes, I just healed Miss Hellen."
"Then help me! Erigona's going to attack Aurora!"
Arthur squinted his eyes. "What am I supposed to do?"
"Make protector. I'll—"
The words of the man named Hazell were interrupted, they heard another sound that sounded like a buzzing— like through a large speaker.
"slowly. You're late, man!" said the voice, "i've absorbed Princess Aurora's mana! Ah.. It tastes so delicious! It looks like there's a much better one on the wall. No one would dare to bother me, otherwise." The voice from Erigona's source paused.
Hazell—the black-brown-haired, red-eyed man who previously wanted to save Alicia, is near the real Grand Duchess and Erigona. He's wide-eyed.
Erigona did the same before he expanded against Ashley. With more numbers—hundreds of Erigona— are formed through trees in the forest that have been plugged a pointed stem from his back. The hundreds of Erigona turned their pointed rods into wings, then shot into the kingdom.
Aware of the danger, Hazell shouted. "ARTHUURR!!"
That loud shout was faintly heard by Arthur. He who had coated his body with a white aura, rode on horseback.
"That voice... Mr Zell? What's this bad feeling?" inner Hellen.
"I'm not going to let that creature do anything! Right now, I must surpass my limits!" inner Arthur.
"HUAAAAGGHHH!" Arthur's white aura enlarges— is larger than his muscular size. At the same time, he stretched out his hand, then patted and locked his palm.
The ground rumbled, slowly but surely, a tanned-white protector appeared circling the area that became their battle arena— was even much larger.
Aware that the protector would trap them, unfortunately, many Erigona escaped before the protector was completely covered.
Seeing the large number of Erigona who escaped and trapped, Hellen was wide-eyed.
After his protective cover was covered, Arthur fell face down. Her cotton cushion magic is also gone. His hands and feet trembled while panting, he lost quite a lot of mana.
