The night after the fight in the rain, Arka awoke in a state bound by iron chains. He was in the throne room of Lucius Nox Fleuret, surrounded by Lucius' own family. Onyx was there, and there were two other girls. They seem to be arguing. Lucius and Onyx.
"Back him in a cell, until you get his sword!" Jerky Lucius. "Interrogate him every day, torture him if he doesn't answer!" His ideal.
Onyx obeyed his father's will, then ordered his pious army to take Arka away from there.
"Don't touch me!" Fussy Arka, thrashing. He overwhelmed the Onyx and was forced to play rough.
Of the two Lucius girls who witnessed it, one commented. "Don't hurt him!"
Lucius glanced at him, then said. "You don't know him, Luticia! Don't interfere!"
The girl named Luticia (pronounced lutisia) was silent in her position. The other girl next to him who was her sister seemed to calm Luticia down by giving her a warm hug behind the shoulder.
The arka is then pulled like a dog. Luticia and her sister could only look upon Arka's departure with pity, while Onyx responded with a disappointed look. Disappointed to Lucius, his own father, who was sitting haughty on his throne.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Jojo lightly touched the white bandage tied to his stomach. The wound was the first one he received. That wound shouldn't be there. They should not have lost that battle.
"Don't be too hard on yourself." Said Shiro who had just come to Jojo's room. They were gathering at the Apartment Lighthouse, Seinaru's headquarters.
Shiro was injured on the shoulder by a Scarlett rifle shot. Scarlett immediately helped Onyx when Kira was successfully paralyzed. Kira is now dying. The chances of survival are very small.
"Onyx Lucis Caelum." Call Jojo. "What strength does he have?"
Shiro looked gloomy as he recalled the Onyx's face. "Anti magic."
Jojo seems surprised, and feels that everything is getting more reasonable. "How does it work?"
"I don't know how it works, but only with physical strength can we win against it." Shiro. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you all this sooner."
The sound of knocking on the door made the two look over. "They've come." Farel.
The Satsujin Mashin, they are what Farel means. Satsujin Mashin is a group of demon hunters who move directly under the rule of Saint Angel. They came to Seinaru's aid in opposing Lucius's depopulation. Considering that Shiro's army has been wiped out by the Phoenix.
Satsujin Mashin is headed by Gindaijin Satoru. The young man in brandal clothes who was familiarly called Gin was a genius. Makes him and his group the only group of demon hunters who use advanced technology.
A light-energy shot, a folding sword, was also a knife combined with a teleportation spell. They came with limited weaponry, but fit to face the Phoenix's assault rifle troops.
They also brought in a medical group that was able to heal the fatal wounds of Kira and Guntur, as well as other Seinaru troops that still survived.
"So, you guys are submissions from the magic academy?" Jojo asked, to Farel who was watching Thunder from a distance.
"really. Sorry we didn't help much." Farel.
"No, it's not your fault." Sergey Jojo. "I shouldn't have fallen first."
Farel glanced at Jojo, then returned to face the front. "You know Arka?" He asked, after a moment of silence.
"Yes. He's a strong boy." Jojo. "I hope he's okay out there."
"He must be okay." Firm Farel.
Jojo laughed, then looked at Farel. "You're from the Enka clan, right?"
Farel nodded.
"Well, I thought it was extinct." Celtap Jojo. "Have you mastered that technique?"
Farel shakes. It made Jojo sigh because he felt a little disappointed. "You know, right? If that technique only harnesses brain power."
"Did you ever meet a member of the Enka clan?" Farel.
"I was friends with one of them. He is a strong man. But unfortunately he died, killed by a witch." Jojo. On Jojo's face, painted a thin, deep grudge. "I remember once the witch's face. And I really hate her face."
"I'm really sorry." Farel Sahut.
"It's okay. I'm just telling a story." Answer Jojo. "You have to master that technique, Farel."
"Never forget your origin. Don't let them die." Jojo's Advice. "Bequeath the technique to your son, and repeat the entire branch of the lineage beginning with you."
Farel tightened his fist, then said: "I'll work on it."
At the same time, Thunder got up from his bed and asked: "Where is Arka?"
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
3 Days had passed, and Arka was still struggling to eat. He could only remain silent in the corner of the cell, thinking of a way to attack the giver, and then escape from the cell. But when he tried to pull the chains of handcuffs stuck on the cell wall, it felt impossible. Yesterday he tried to smash it with a black glint but the technique never came out.
"It looks like they put an anti-magic spell in your handcuffs." Onimaru Hypothesis.
"A magic spell?"
"Yes. Because during my life, only that spell had this effect."
Arka grieving. "That means we can just wait, yeah..."
Arka sat back in the corner of the cell thinking. With so many thoughts, Arka fell asleep. After two minutes after Arka slept, the giver of food came as usual. But this time it was a little strange. Usually the giver comes during the shadow of the sun at 12.05, for today the giver comes at 10.20. The giver also did not hit the iron fence of the Ark's cell. The giver of food just opened the cell door, then entered. And this is the strangest, the giver of food... She is a blonde woman.
Arka immediately stood up from his place and looked at the woman's cynic. Arka felt that she had already known the woman. Arka was reminded of the woman standing beside old Lucius.
He sat back in his place. "What are you doing here?"
The woman sat by the cell door and said: "My name is Luticia nox fleuret."
Arka lowered her gaze, then looked back.
"A-I'll try to free you from here. And- uhm-Anu..."
The girl was nervous. But just hearing it made Arka a little surprised. He immediately looked at Luticia and said: "then take off these handcuffs."
He pointed his handcuffed hands in front of Luticia
"But on one condition!" Said Luticia who was trying to look firm. "Restore the city of lestallum as it used to be".
Arka nodded. He doesn't care about Luticia. Right now, all he cared about was himself.
Arka brought her hands closer to Luticia. "I promise. So, hurry up, take these cuffs off." Pinta.
Luticia nodded, then activated her power. Arriving alone, 6 holy swords appeared around him. He immediately took one of the swords and slashed down Arka's arm.
"Hey, tungg--"
Arka screamed, then exchanged thoughts with Onimaru to heal her arm. They can work together because Onimaru doesn't want to go out there either. He is still in the waiting phase.
"Give me all the information you know about Lucius and Phoenix." Pinta Arka, who was still hissing in pain because of the wound earlier.
Luticia nodded loudly, then began to describe everything she knew.
Arka would not win if it had to collide directly with them without knowing their strength. Arka must play smart and be patient by exploiting weaknesses and negligence from the opponent's side.
