Edenteric

Vanor Festival

Morning in Edenteria is a stunning thing, the very cool mountain air can be found in this kingdom. The wind blew bringing tranquility throughout the kingdom, along with the beautiful singing of the birds that flew from the trees.

Moreover, today, a major festival held annually in memory of the day of interracial peace is held.

Edenteria has now been decorated with various celebratory trinkets. Every corner of the city has been installed flags of the continent of Gondwana which is a symbol of peace.

Not to be left with other ornaments installed by the residents themselves, adding to the cheerfulness of the morning.

The castle is also no less lively, the big banners of Edenteria mounted on the tops of the towers, dancing in the wind. Right in front of the castle a large stage was set up, some shows will be displayed during the festival.

From the main gate of the city, there were many people coming from all over the country. Billing the city streets to the atrium, not only humans, some of the other races also attended to enliven the festival.

Pixies were seen flying here and there with the sound of their bells clattering, as well as a group of Dwarves who were swarming out of the shops, and, there are many more who are enthusiastic about the festival held that day.

"Where's Udzaa?" lian asked as she entered Aldrich's study, finding Nia, Noey and Kevin already there.

"Oh good morning, nice robe" said Kevin teasingly.

Lian did not care about it, she stepped in with a hassle due to her quite large robe at the back.

"I hate this robe" he murmured.

Nia was standing in front of her, staring at the Edenterians who were gathering down there, waiting for the Aldrich to open the festival.

Nia immediately turned her head when she heard Lian muttering resentfully behind her back.

"Where's Udzaa?" tanyakanya.

"That's what I've been asking you since" Lian said annoyedly.

"This cloak, do we have to wear it?" he said again while dancing the back of his robe, the white robe with golden stripes was the robes of the Aldrich, which were only worn at certain times.

"The fool must still be sleeping" Noey said grimly.

"I've sent some bodyguards to pick him up" Kevin picked up an apple from the table, at which point the door opened.

The two royal elders stepped in with flat faces.

"Nia, why haven't you started the show yet" Arion said sternly.

"Ah, sorry Mr. Arion, we are still waiting for Udzaa.. I think he's on his way" Nia replied with a smile

The old woman next to Arion clucked in annoyance.

"Two years disappeared and he came back haughtily"

"I know very well who is haughty here, madam Zola" said Lian skeptically while sharing her smile that even made the old woman again upset.

"Don't know manners" he grumbled softly.

"There is no time for Nia, you have to start immediately" Arion said with emphasis on each word, which made Nia unable to dodge anymore.

"Alright, let's start" he said briefly then walked towards the veranda, followed by the others.

***

Drapery.. Drapery.. Drapery..

In the bustling city were three little girls running, one of them wearing a Second Division badge on his arm, with brown hair tied with twintails making him look cute on the run.

The other girl ran behind him, a girl with a Fifth Division badge hurriedly trying to equalize her steps with her friend. Another girl wearing a simple white dress ran the very back, her long dark blue hair swinging around as she ran.

"Come Tarisa!! Hurry along!! We can miss the opening later!" the twintail girl said to her friend.

"But, Donna.."

"Come Tarisa!! Hurry up!!" the girl from the Fifth Division pulled the arm of her friend.

The three of them ran through the human crowd in the atrium, Tarisa who could not chase the two friends fell while trying to pass a merchant.

"Hey!! Be careful if the way" the hardened merchant was rude and immediately left.

Tarisa complained of pain and then woke up from the fall position. He looked around, trying to find his two friends in the crowd.

"Donna! My risma!!"

He tried to walk through the crowd, quite difficult because of his small body. He was repeatedly pushed by other large bodies. He had reached the center of the city, but he did not know where to go because so many people filled the road, he saw an atrium beside him, a wooden tower built by residents as a decoration of the festival in front of him. He looked in all directions.

"Donna!! My risma!! Where're you?"

"Tarrisaaa!" the girl heard her name called, she turned her head and saw her two friends at the end of the road. Immediately he ran towards the two but did not pay attention to his surroundings, a merchant accidentally touched the wooden tower there which slowly began to fall.

"Tarisa!!" the two friends shouted, but too late, Tarisa turned to the wooden tower that was only a few meters away.

BRUAAAAAKK!!!

The wooden tower fell perfectly. Some people screamed, but luckily no one was hurt. Donna and Risma who saw that were unable to say anything, but before they both digested what had happened, something that looked like white smoke shot down right beside them.

When the white smoke disappeared, Tarisa was seen behind it still with the same shock from before.

"Yarinea!!" the two of them immediately ran towards him.

"You okay?" donna asked with a worried tone. Tarisa who was still in shock could only shake her head.

"Oh you're his friends?" said another figure kneeling beside Tarisa.

"Ah, Aldrich fourth!?" they both were surprised.

Udzaa smiled broadly at the three of them while waving his hands.

"Hey.."

***

The castle was filled with people, residents and settlers, crowded the castle grounds, waiting for Aldrich to start the Festival.

Inside the castle the royal guests were chatting with each other, some of them were the other royal higher-ups, as well as some of the great nobles from the capital.

One of the nobles from Akiba was standing next to the food table, he was seen researching all the food there, from his large body shape can be known if he is a food lover.

"Emmm.. What food is this? Is this delicious?" he muttered while watching the plate of food on the table.

"Ah, that's Bouve Bousquet sir, made from various types of vegetables that grow in this land" a man said next to him, the nobleman turned his head and found a male figure smiling broadly at him.

The man wore a red headband on his forehead, a stark contrast to his dark hair. He also wore a sleeveless shirt, showing off his burly arms emblazoned with black tattoos. One of the temples has a scratch that makes it look scary even when smiling.

That was how the noble felt when he saw the strange man beside him.

"Em, is something wrong sir?" he asked politely, even though it sounded like a threat in the ears of the nobleman.

"Er.. N-no, I-I'm fine" he said nervously as he went away, leaving the man confused.

"What's wrong with him" he murmured while scratching his non-itchy head, he stared at the nobleman leaving but a second later his gaze was sidetracked by the figure of Iro rushing into the castle.

"Aahh~~ Kapteeenn!!" call him loudly while running up to him up the stairs.

.

.

.

.

Iro turned the next corner, he heard the voice calling him and recognized him very much but he had no intention to stop his steps until in the end the man managed to catch up with him.

"During the morning kapteeenn!!" greet the man with spirit.

Iro only glanced at him for a moment, then answered him briefly.

"Morning.."

The man tries to equalize his pace with the captain and then starts the conversation, from the beautiful day to the topic of the Wrecksput pest, the man babbles himself. The captain was finally upset.

"Djabo, don't you have any other duties?"

Knowing the captain had acknowledged his whereabouts, the man called Djabo smiled again.

"Oh no, captain, it's festival day, and holiday, so I guess I'll stay with you, you know, to make sure you stay safe" she said with a smile.

Iro just rolled his eyes, he turned the next corridor. From the opposite direction was seen the Second Division vice-captain, Dinda was walking while enjoying Loliglop in his hands.

"It turns out you're here" said Dinda to Djabo who did not listen at all, without saying anything else Dinda immediately pulled the end of Djabo's shirt to follow him.

"All vice-captains are required to assemble in the yard"

Djabo is forcibly pulled by Dinda into the yard, he tries to fight by holding on to the wall but Dinda's stronger power makes him unable to fight.

"Dindaa!! Unhand me!! Kapteeenn, let me come with youuuu!!"

Djabo is still trying to fight as much as he can by holding on to whatever he can achieve, but for free. Until the main door of Dinda's castle throws him into the night, causing him to fall directly under the feet of a woman.

"Adududuha.. It hurts" he lamented, he stared at the foot of a woman's foot in front of him, looking at her from the tip of the foot, up, up..

Buakhh!!

"What do you see stupid!!" the woman kicked Djabo before the man saw what he should not have seen(?).

Djabo fell back to the entrance of the castle, Dinda walked past him while stepping on his body. The little girl threw a look of disdain at him.

"Kuhajar you later" said Djabo, grimacing.

Dinda stood next to the woman who had just kicked Djabo earlier, the woman wearing a long, high-collared robe with a hemisphere next to her feet, her red hair blazing like a blaze, at the top of his head he wore a black-grey pointed hat that was in tune with his robe.

That woman was Meiza, the vice-captain of the Fifth Division. Folding his arms in front of his chest while staring at Djabo sharply.

"Your eyes always impress me" a hissing voice rang out behind Meiza. Dinda turned her head to the source of the voice behind her expressionlessly.

Even without looking, Meiza knew exactly who was standing behind her.

"I'm not interested in you" he said flatly.

Behind there was a male figure, sitting beside the castle fountain, staring at Meiza with her red eyes. The man grinned creepily, his pointed teeth like wolves making some of the residents lined up behind the fountain step back.

"That's what impressed me" he said again in a low voice, now looking at Dinda who was standing not far from Meiza.

"Hoo, you're also here little girl, are you lost" he said again, showing off a row of pointy teeth.

"Stop your tone it~" said Dinda in a frightened tone, she pursed her lips making her look more like a plain little girl, her eyes enlarged and teary as if she wanted to cry.

"You're scaring me.."

The pointy-toothed man jumped from his seat and landed right in front of Dinda with the clattering sound of Axe chains behind his body, he looked at the girl with his red eyes.

"You scared? Is that true.." God as he grinned widely.

"Stop it, or I kill you" Dinda's teary gaze now turned sharp, her voice turning even colder making the man in front of her instantly silent.

Yep!!

A sword hilt struck the head of the pointy-toothed man. Bella came from behind and hit the man's head with her sword.

"Stop that Akuma!" he said relax while walking.

"Geezzz, you know it hurts so much Bella!" said the man named Akuma while stroking his head.

Bella looked back with a smile.

"You should be thanking me, a little late you can die." said Bella as she raised her chin towards Dinda.

Akuma stared at the shorter Dinda, the girl still staring at him sharply. Akuma lowered himself to be on equal footing with Dinda.

"Hee, you know, I was just kidding.."

Dinda's eyes slowly softened.

"The end of your voice is scary~" he said, who has now returned like an ordinary little girl.

"Tell me that I haven't seen you in a long time, I'd love to tease you." said Akuma with a smile, although still looking creepy with a row of pointy teeth.

Bella looked up, towards the open veranda up there.

"They haven't started yet" Meiza said, which made Bella look at her.

"You look different.."

Meiza immediately looked at Bella with a cheerful face.

"Really!!? Today I used Helene's artificial aura-emitting potion, does it look like the result? Do I look more beautiful?" he asked enthusiastically while touching her face, Bella could only smile clumsily in response.

"I think Helene gave you the wrong potion, your strength is even stronger" said Djabo who walked towards her, still with his hands on his cheeks, where Meiza kicked him with extra energy.

Meiza pursed her lips then turned her face away, feeling humiliated.

Bella smiled again.

"From that, why haven't they started yet?" asked the other men who had just arrived, all of them staring at the man. He was wearing ordinary clothes, a black scarf coiled around his neck. He walked with his eyes fixed on a book in his field.

"ah! Kiruru!" meiza said as she called out to the man enthusiastically.

"How do I look today?" the question is not important.

Kiruru did not reply, she just gave her left thumb towards Meiza without turning her eyes, making Meiza again pout.

Djabo laughs at her who then returns to receive a punch in the face from Meiza.

"You still read that boring book? Heh?" akuma said when he learned of Kiruru's presence.

Kiruru did not answer him at all, upsetting Akuma.

"Can we start this show? I was willing to wake up early just to this place" Kiruru said.

"I think there's a bit of trouble up there" Bella replied as she stared at the open veranda.

"Udzaa hasn't come yet, they're still waiting for her" the girl's figure interrupted them, the soft blue-haired girl walking down the steps with the 4 other girls behind her.

"Udzaa?" Bella raises her eyebrows.

The young blue haired girl nodded briefly. Trying to answer, but the other 4 girls annoyed him.

"Four four of you! Can you just shut up for a second?" he said sharply to the four girls behind him.

The four girls replied simultaneously, making the blue haired girl even more annoyed.

"Please stop them, before Syifa spoils this sunny day" Kiruru said in a forced caring tone.

"Rouge, Bleu, Rose, Violet, you better shut up" said Bella, who did not want the storm to come today. The four girls were silent forcefully, walking towards Dinda with disturbing whispers.

"So, Udzaa's back?" ask Bella who was later confirmed by Syifa. Syifa sighed, her blue robe looking as bright as the sky today.

"Captain told me this morning"

"Well, this festival is more interesting" said Akuma passionately while walking away from Dinda who was surrounded by the four troublesome girls.

"Master also told us last night" Rouge added, the red-haired girl and her red cape. Her three friends, Rose, the haired girl and the pink robe, and Violet, were purple in matching robes, and Bleu with blue robes and hair. The four of them were vice-captains of the Seventh Division.

"Yayayaa.. It's up to you" said Syifa lazily.

"Udzaa is back?" Djabo again walked towards them with bruised cheeks.

"This means it's time I challenge him" he said again, patting his fist.

Akuma chuckled at Djabo's words.

"Keep dreaming, I will fight the fourth Aldrich"

"You doubted me?" said Djabo sharply.

"Make me believe it then." challenge Akuma.

"You two stop" said Dinda, staring up. Kiruru closed her book with a single move

"The work will begin"

***

The roar of the royal trumpet sounds, signaling the opening event of the festival is about to begin.

From the open veranda above the castle, Nia stood facing towards her people. The white robe he was wearing waved in the wind, behind him was Lian in the same robe standing with the two royal advisors, Arion and Zolla.

In the back row, lined up the captains of the nine divisions.

Noey, the First Division captain was wearing half-body armor in a red skirt, on the waist of a silver sword shining in the sun.

Then Faruq, the captain of the Second Division, wore his best silver armor, his sword and shield tucked away on his back. Next to him, the captain of the Third Division and adviser to the royal combat strategist, Kevin, stood in his black robe with a hood covering his head.

The Fourth Division Captain, Mou, stood with a smile on her face, the girl in blue-and-white clothes looking cheerfully at the group of people below. Then beside him, Iqbal, the captain of the Fifth Division, yawned lazily, his eyes half closed due to the sunlight of the morning, the red cloth used to wrap the sword on his back dancing in the wind.

Next the captain of the Sixth Division, Zayn with a sharp and cold gaze, his black robe danced with the wind. The muscles of his arms were clearly visible from the exposed part of his robe.

Beside him the captain of the Seventh Division, Dimas, gazing lazily in all directions, dressed in a black-gray robe with a high collar of his feathers, his black sword he sipped on his shoulders.

Then the captain of the Eighth Division, Iro, the dark purple-haired girl as well as the clothes in matching colors, put on a serious face. Two of his short swords he put behind his waist. Then lastly, the captain of the Ninth Division, Fransiska, his long blonde mane swung in the wind. She was dressed in matching clothes with her hair, looking bright with a blend of yellow and sky blue, a red scarf around her neck dancing with the wind. A long golden spear was seen behind his back.

The nine captains bewitched all the residents down there, staring at them in awe. Below, the vice-captains are seen lined up in front of the fountain, staring at the open veranda above.

"I hope it won't last long" whispered Djabo on the sidelines of Aldrich's Second speech. Bella immediately gave him a sharp look, making him silent for a moment.

In the middle of the speech a girl came through the ranks of the population, then joined the ranks of the vice-captain. The girl, without saying much, immediately marched beside Meiza.

Meiza stared.

"Where have you been Jose?"

The girl called Jose looked over.

"I'm sorry, sorry, I had to drag someone in the atrium" he said, leaving Meiza distraught.

While something flew quickly in the sky, right above them.

"What's that?" meiza murmur.

***

Shuuut.. Taps!

Udzaa managed to land smoothly behind the ranks of the captains. Errol floated beside him, giving a white robe towards him which he immediately put on while walking slowly without a sound.

"Look at that, who has just come" whispered Faruq who made all eyes look at Udzaa who with a careful step slipped behind the elders, trying to stand beside Lian without being noticed by the two.

"Based on that fool" said Zayn annoyed. Dimas was yawning beside him.

Errol glided smooth without a sound and landed right on Frans' shoulders.

"Where are you going?" frans whiskey

"We have bad luck gero~" replied Errol slowly.

"We got into a ruckus in the gero~ atrium"

Frans was digesting Errol's last words when Udzaa made it to his place without the elders knowing.

The position of the elders who stood a little more in front than Lian made it easier to sneak.

Lian who noticed his presence scolded him without a sound while Udzaa simply put his hands together while apologizing.

"You're fucked up" whispered Lian as slow as possible. Udzaa just smiled clumsyly while trying to fix his slightly tangled robe here and there. But without the slightest warning, Nia pulled the collar of the Udzaa robe without turning her head.

"Other happy news." said Nia while then showing Udzaa to everyone was like showing off his hunting results in public.

"The fourth Aldrich has returned with us"

Rumbling voices filled the courtyard, leaving Udzaa clueless as to what to say. Nia took off her grip on the collar of Udzaa's robe, then took a few steps back, allowing Udzaa to continue her speech.

Udzaa who did not know anything just stared at Nia with horror.

"What are you doing" whispered Udzaa quietly without trying to smile at the people down there.

"That's a punishment because you're late" Nia retorted, which made Udzaa want to hit her. He glanced at the elders who were now staring at him.

Now that the roar of cheers had subsided, all waiting for the fourth Aldrich figure to begin his speech, Dimas grinned at his spot.

Udzaa really wants to disappear at this time, he is not used to talking in front of many people. But now he wants to not have to do it. In his heart he cursed Nia.

"Ep.. Hi.." he said hesitantly. Occasionally glanced at the elders from the tail of his eyes. He really doesn't know what he wants to talk about.

"How are you guys? Emm, make sure you're all in good health." he cursed himself, his speech sounded like a love letter.

Back there the captains were desperately trying not to laugh, even Dimas had to bite his own sword. Another is the elders who seem to dislike.

"Em, today a big festival will be held, I hope you enjoy it.. Even if I don't, I mean I'm here now, so let's enjoy it together" Udzaa vowed never again, in her life, to do something ridiculous like this.

"Sekian." he said then, bowing slightly to close his speech, a rumble of applause was heard filling the castle courtyard. Udzaa immediately retreated from his place earlier, seeing his friends holding a laugh back there made him want to beat them all at once.

"Let's enjoy together? This is the most ludicrous speech I've ever heard" Iqbal whispered as he held back his laughter. Noey at the end there sighed softly.

Then after the end of the strange speech of the fourth Aldrich, the opening ceremony of the festival ended that day.

***

"You really want to teach me!!" udzaa shouted as they were all in Aldrich's room. Laughter now can not be held back, Iqbal imitated Udzaa speech that made them laugh loudly.

"Let's enjoy it with all the food" Iqbal sneered while mimicking Udzaa's speech with a slight change, making Udzaa look at him annoyed.

Aldrich's room is now full of them all, the opening ceremony of the festival is over and now the residents and visitors are enjoying the day full of excitement.

Nia laughed in her chair, still in her Aldrich robe, looking at her friends who were still mocking Udzaa's speech earlier.

Udzaa pointed at himself in annoyance, blaming him for telling him to make an unprepared speech.

"Will your speech be better if you're prepared?" asked Kevin who was sitting in an armchair not far from the door. Forcing Udzaa to scream at that moment.

Laughter exploded again when Dimas came suddenly while imitating Udzaa's speech, which further upset him. Udzaa picked up an apple from the fruit that the previous waiter had brought.

At that time the door opened again revealing the figure of Arion and Zola behind it. Dimas immediately jumped from his position sitting on the table.

All the laughter died down, drifting in the swift footsteps of the two elders as they entered the room.

"It's very noticeable that you're all having fun" Arion said in a deep voice, staring flat in all directions. Zola beside him added cynically.

"Great speech, fourth Aldrich"

Nia got up from her chair, trying to melt the atmosphere.

"Ah, Mr. Arion, please sit down" said Nia inviting as she glanced at Lian who immediately stood giving her seat.

"No need to bother" said Arion.

"Nobody praised your prilak earlier, Nia" he said coldly. Nia did not reply, just looking flat ahead.

"You know for sure, how the fourth Aldrich behaved" said Arion who is now like a stab at Udzaa who is still in his place.

"And what you did was, at least tarnish the good name of the kingdom in the eyes of the big guests, let the fourth Aldrich speak in public even if he did not have that ability" Udzaa huffed. Arion continued his words.

"I expect better decision-making next time" he said then turned to Udzaa.

"And to you, the fourth Aldrich.." Zola squinted her eyes.

"I demand that you be better at your attitude, your position is highly regarded as one of the leaders of the kingdom, I won't question where you've gone these two years, but you should know.." arion said, which then sounded colder.

"You know exactly why.."

Hearing that was enough to make Udzaa run out of patience. He put the apple in his hand on the table and pressed it firmly, trying to contain his anger.

"I know what I'm doing, and I won't let anyone manage it." he said no less sharply as he stared at Arion. The apple on the table has now been destroyed because it was pressed too strongly.

"I don't care who it is.."

"Aldrich fourth!! Watch mouth! You don't know who you're talking to!" hardik Zola stared intently at him.

"Oh, I know.." Nia tried to hold him back but Udzaa raised her hand, telling her not to interfere.

"You're afraid of dirty blood like I made a mess, right?"

Arion and Zola stared at him sharply.

"I warn you." said Arion sharply.

Udzaa sneered sarcastically, picked up another apple from the table then walked away leaving the room.

Blams.

The room was quiet again after Udzaa closed the door. Leave a stifling aura.

At that time Lian tried to take over the atmosphere

"Ah, Mr. Arion, that one.."

"Nia, I'm going to act like nothing's going on, instead, I think someone should give your friend some discipline" Arion said as he walked away with Zola behind him.

***

The city is now bustling with visitors, various merchants peddle their wares on each side of the city, luring visitors with good items or even food. Children run around enjoying the holiday cheerfully, relaxing with their families, touring the city while enjoying the festival today.

Udzaa was walking alone in the crowd, he stepped in lethargicly, kicking some pebbles he had met on the street.

"Ceh, the old man sucks" he grumbled. He passed every merchant there lethargic, staring blankly at everything he encountered.

He saw a merchant selling a variety of good food that he had never met, this made him change his mind.

"Who cares about the old man's bullshit, it's festival day" he said brightly then ran towards the food stall.

***

"Udzaa seriously yaa" said Mou as she was walking with Frans and Iro. The three of them had left the castle and were now enjoying the festivities in the city.

"I think the master has his own reasons for saying that" said Iro who walked beside him. Mou did not reply, she was busy staring at Frans who had been silent since.

"Hey, Frans, are you okay?"

Frans regained his senses from his daydream, then smiled at Mou while switching the conversation.

"Ah, the festival this time is more crowded than last year huh!"

Mou nods in affirmation, then laughs as she pushes back the food Frans bought in one of the shops.

"Sir Iro, this is just ordinary food" Frans assures. While Mou was still laughing, both her hands were full of grasping food.

"Iro, until when do you hold on to that suspicion of yours, there's no way this food is poisonous" Mou said on the sidelines while Iro was still strong with his stance. Frans just shook his head with a small laugh.

"Ah captain?" someone made the laughter of the three girls stop. Mou looked at that figure.

"Jose?" said it.

"So you can have fun this time?" he said it again with confusion.

Jose, aware that his hand was now full of trinkets of a girl from the festival, looked at him with a red face.

"That's not so, captain, you should know.. It's.."

Mou patted his deputy's shoulder.

"Jose, it's a day off, and you know it never hurts to relax a little bit" he said. Frans giggled at the look on Jose's face that was starting to turn red.

"You look sweet now Jose" he said, which then made Jose even more misbehavior. Jose still defends himself that all the goods in his hand are not his but it only adds to Mou's suspicion.

"Already, admit it, it's not strange if a girl buys a beautiful ribbon" he said, taking a pink ribbon from Jose's hand.

"I think the colors are pretty good" Iro commented with interest.

"These captains are nothing like.." Jose hasn't had time to finish his words shouting someone made them turn their heads.

From a distance, Udzaa was running to quickly divide the festival crowd with a bag full of food in his hand, he shouted telling everyone to pull over, although it sounded unclear because his mouth was still busy swallowing a grilled meat.

Two royal guards ran after him, shouting his name, trying to make him stop.

"Aldrich fourth!! Please stop!! You shouldn't walk without a guard!" shouted one of the guards.

"Akhu right whehawal!!! (I don't need a bodyguard!)" udzaa shouted while trying to run away from the guards. He ran past Mou, Frans, Iro and Jose just like that, leaving dust on the road he passed.

"Always full of commotion, that person" commented Mou, Frans just shook his head, not knowing what to comment.

On the other side, Noey walked from the atrium with the three other little girls who were seen carrying a lot of stuff in their hands.

"Oh, you're here too?" hello Noey.

Iro replied to Noey's greeting as well as Frans, another with Mou who even commented.

"Sir Noey, what are you doing?" tanyakanya.

Noey.

"Oh, I just got back from the gun shop over there, they're selling a variety of weapons I've never seen before, so I guess I bought a little, you know, for the collection" he explained casually.

Mou just looked at him strangely, something that little bit was inversely proportional to the visible reality. The three girls in front of him seemed to be holding heavy loads because of the many weapons they were carrying.

"Em, Brother Noey, I think they're having a little trouble"

Noey's not listening. He even greeted Jose who still held trinkets in his hands. Mou insisted that Noey was so outrageous that she told the three girls to bring her belongings.

"You why the hell? They were the ones who offered to help me" Noey said. But Mou didn't take it for granted.

On the other hand Frans bent low enough, so that he could align with the three girls.

"You guys all right? It looks quite heavy" he asked softly.

"We're okay Miss Frans" said one of them firmly, her twintail hair swaying as she shook her head.

Frans smiled, he could see the Second Division badge on the girl's arm, then the Fifth Division badge on the other, but did not see it in the white dress that stood to the left.

"You're from a different division.."

"That's right, miss, but even if we've just joined, we're not as weak as we seem" said the twintail girl excitedly. Although then grimaced because one end of the sword he carried slightly pierced him.

The girl from the Fifth Division also showed a feisty face, as well as the girl with the white dress there.

"Who are your names?" Frans asked.

The girl replied with a zeal to tell her name, until Frans now knew their names. The twintail girl was Donna then Risma from the Fifth Division then Tarisa who was wearing the white dress.

Frans smiled at the spirit of the three little girls, then he glanced briefly at Noey who was still arguing with Mou.

Feeling everything was safe he flicked his finger, simultaneously the item the three girls carried lightly raised.

"Aah!" the three girls were shocked, then Frans blinked one eye which was reciprocated by the bright smile of the three.

"It's up to you" Noey said, ending the pointless debate, then looking at the three girls carrying his turf.

"You guys are still strong?" tanyakanya.

The three girls nodded steadily, glancing at Frans who was smiling smallly.

"Alright, come on" then Noey walked back to leave Mou who was still grumbling.

"Basic.." lamented Mou annoyed. While Iro just looked confused towards Frans who smiled strangely.

***

On the other side of the city, Udzaa finally managed to escape from the pursuit of his bodyguards. He hid in the roof of a shop, tricked the two guards and came out with a happy face.

"Haha, it's too soon a hundred years to follow me" he said proudly and then intended to walk away, but not aware he was still in a high place. Eventually he fell off the roof of a shop.

Greb!

Luckily, a hand grabbed her collar before her face followed all her food that had touched the ground.

"Heee, my food!" he screams with regret. He looked up, seeing the figure that made him now hanging in the air because his collar was grasped.

"Hey stupid! You know what you're doing!! You made my food fall!!" meaning to that figure.

"Don't get mad like that dong, fourth Aldrich!" said that figure who is none other than Djabo. He showed off his grin.

"Or would you rather fall?" threatened later.

Udzaa snorted in annoyance.

"Then hurry, let go of me!!" revolting rough.

"Quietly, I'm here because I want to invite you to finish our fight." said Djabo who now smiles widely again. Making Udzaa speechless, seeing Udzaa speechless, Djabo knew if it meant yes.

"I'm sure you'll be interested" he said again.

Udzaa was silent for a moment with the situation still hanging in the air. Then he glanced at Djabo seriously, then gave another grin.

"Take me to the place of the fight." he said, who then replied with a creepy smile from Djabo.

.

.

.

Taps.

"We're here!" said Djabo sharply when they have arrived at the place of battle.

Udzaa smiled cynically.

"May also have your taste in choosing a place"

"Thank you for the compliment, Aldrich fourth!" reply Djabo no less cynical.

The two looked at each other sharply, the fight was now inevitable. On this supposedly peaceful festival day, there was a commotion that was about to occur. The fourth Aldrich against the vice-captain of the Ninth Division.

"You ready?" ask Djabo.

Udzaa smiled condescendingly.

"When you want to"

"I hope you don't mind if you add one, Aldrich fourth"

Udzaa glanced at the pointy-toothed man.

"Geez, whatever I have to fight, it won't have any effect on me"

"Good, because I also brought a referee" Akuma said again while pulling the collar of another man who was none other than Kiruru.

"Yes!" kiruru said in a tone without interest.

"How's it?" he asked Djabo.

"It's up to you, but don't expect to win from me" Djabo said confidently.

"Khukhu! Just ring the bell now"

.

.

.

.

.

It's Dakk!!!

"3 BIG BOWLS SPECIAL MISO!! PLEASE ENJOY!!" shouted a young man suddenly while putting three large bowls of miso in front of the three of them.

"Yeah, start~" Kiruru said as she raised her hand without enthusiasm, while her eyes were still glued to the book in her hand.

Then the three of them immediately finished the large bowl as quickly as possible accompanied by the excited voice of the three.

"UWOOOOO!!!"

"What do you guys do?" said Mou who just came with Iro and Frans.

***

By nightfall, the sun was falling further west, leaving a tinge of orange on the white clouds. The birds were flying, racing back to his house, looking like black shadows floating in the sky.

The state of the bustling city does not just subside in the afternoon, some visitors may return to the inn to rest for a while, but not a few who remain in the city to enjoy the festival even longer. Moreover, later tonight, a closing ceremony that will certainly be more festive will be held in front of the castle, making visitors reluctant to miss this opportunity. Instead of returning to the inn, many of the visitors choose to warm themselves in the tavern.

Toads Head, a small shop on the edge of the city's main street has lit up its lighting like any other store. The signboard installed above the tavern also lit up, swinging with a creaking sound as the wind blew.

In the shop, there were three men lying helplessly on a table with a large pile of bowls on the side.

The battle they called the man-to-man fight ended in balance, none of them were now strong enough to raise their heads.

"I thought, we're a series this time" said Djabo who was very helpless even to talk.

"Khukhukhu, I didn't think you two were strong either" Akuma added.

Udzaa almost regurgitated the miso he ate.

While the girls who looked at him just sighed at their behavior. Kiruru still did not care about the surroundings.

"You are.." said Frans with a look of disgust towards the three.

"What is a fight between men"

"You didn't fight this time, too?" mou asked Kiruru who was still serious about the book. Sometimes he wondered, actually what the man read so that he could divert all his attention from the surrounding environment.

"Since when did I join this stupid fight" Kiruru said flatly, then she closed her book, then looked around.

"Eh, captain? Since when are you here?" ask her in a surprised tone that is not made up.

Mou looked at him annoyed.

'So since then he thought there was only himself in this world?' inner Mou.

Frans answered him briefly, then finished his drink.

"Ah, brother Kiruru.." Kiruru raised her hand, stopping Frans' words.

"Kiruru only" he said.

"What would a captain call his deputy a brother"

Frans frowned in confusion, because he did not know what to call his deputy. His reverence for the older demanded him to call them sis.

This was not completed until Udzaa woke up from his sleep.

"Ahhhhhhhh.. Where'sme? am I dead?" said weird.

"So you've been asleep since" Mou said in surprise.

Udzaa ignored Mou's words, he tried to control himself. His stomach felt nauseous and finally what he had been enduring since had happened as well.

"You are really disgusting" said Frans sharply towards his brother who is now vomiting in his seat.

"I'm grateful, I'm not dead" Udza said, Iro approached him and patted him on the back.

"Quiet master." he said soothingly.

"You will die quietly after this" Iro said again, showing a paper with bills to pay.

"I'm really dead!!" udzaa shouted loudly, not heeding anything, even the nausea disappeared just like that.

"My saving.." sadly.

"Ahaha.. Take it easy Aldrich fourth!" a middle-aged man with a headband reading 'welcome' laughed at Udzaa.

"Miso this time I give for free to you" he said again which then makes the light of life in the eyes of Udzaa again radiated.

"That's really uncle!!"

"Of course, just think of it as a welcome gift back from me" he said with a laugh.

"Ah.. Uncle!! You are the best!!" said Udzaa while pointing his thumb forward interspersed with laughter from the others.

***

The night had come, now the city was already sparkling with lights that were lit, in the atrium more sparkling with the light of the fairies flying around.

Visitors have again thronged the city streets, waiting for the closing ceremony to be held in a moment.

Udzaa had already returned to the castle with a full stomach, intending to just lay down his body in Aldrich's room, but just as he reached the top of the main steps, Errol floated quickly towards him without warning.

"Ehh.. What the hell are you doing!" shouted Udzaa who was now pulled by Errol. He was pulled to the other side of the castle, towards the big building over there.

"Oi! I'm tired, let me rest for a while"

"Nia's waiting for you in the Research Division" Errol said.

Udzaa sighed lazily.

.

.

.

.

Arriving at the Research Division he was immediately greeted with a throw of his greatsword by Lian.

"From wherever you are, I've been bored all day here" he complained.

"When the festival's out there, but I'm locked up here"

Udzaa placed her sword against the wall, then looked at Nia who was standing not far from him.

"What the hell do you want? I'm so tired, I want to rest for a while before the closing ceremony later" said Udzaa lazily.

"There is no time" he said ignoring Udzaa's words. He immediately walked to the other door across the room.

"Follow me.."

Inevitably Udzaa followed lazily, followed by Lian behind him who again threw a large sword at him.

The door leads to another room, a large room full of cauldrons with suspicious liquid, exploding, and several other strange objects that are not understood what their usefulness is.

Nia stopped beside a flat circle-shaped ornament that floated in the air, on her side visible scratches that did not understand.

Udzaa stared bored.

"Then what?"

"Hoo!! Aldrich fourth!!" a voice shocked them, a man in a dusty worn-out dark robe who was flashing dazzling eyes came over. His appearance was completely chaotic, with a Google pair of glasses he was wearing as well as some black soot on his face implying that he had just been hit by a violent explosion.

"I've heard about your return"

Udzaa raised his eyebrows.

"You sure you didn't just get an explosion or something?"

"Or even he himself exploded" added Errol who floated on the ceiling of the room.

"No no" he said quickly.

"Alvian, we don't have much time" said Lian, who had just entered the room.

The man called Alvian smiled widely and returned to his main goal.

He swept a flat disk that floated in the middle of the room, then looked at Nia who seemed to understand and threw a Tiara taken from his pocket.

"Hey!! Be careful with that!" Udzaa.

Alvian put the rock tiara right in the middle of the ornaments floating there.

"Ohh, obviously there's something dark in there" Alvian said. Then he took a few steps back.

"What exactly are we doing here?" ask Udzaa.

"We will try to see what it is" said Nia, Udzaa raised next to his eyebrows.

"I've mastered some of Aldrich's first techniques"

Nia's words made Udzaa quite surprised, it was not too difficult to remember some of Aldrich's magic parchment was first stored in the storage cabinet and can be accessed by other Aldrich. But it is not an easy problem for Nia who in fact cannot control her Cloe stably, even the easiest technique will be very impossible.

"From your face, it's obvious that you don't understand" said Lian smiling with mystery, irritating Udzaa. Lian pulled Udzaa back, giving room to Nia.

"I warn you" Nia said as she glanced slightly at Udzaa.

"I won't be able to withstand this for too long, once the barrier is established I want you to immediately remove the Kiso Boukutten seal from the Tiara, whatever happens I will hand it over to you" Nia explained.

Udzaa swallowed his saliva deeply. Then Lian immediately gave the big sword to him.

"I'll start" Nia said after making sure everything was in a safe position.

Nia closed her eyes, then quickly the aura around the room felt even more stifling. Udzaa held onto his greatsword tightly, he had no idea what was happening, but he could feel a strange aura gathering around Nia.

"W-what happened? What is he doing?"

"Over these two years, it's not just you that's developed" Lian said with a smile behind Udzaa.

"He's absorbing Cloe's earth"

"Me-absorbing what?"

Suddenly a huge air pressure exploded along with a gust of wind centered on Nia. Fly some parchment in all directions. He opened his eyes which now had his pupils completely blackened.

"The aura is very painful gero~" cried Errol who immediately darted down a table.

Without a meaningful pause, he looked like he was whispering something. Then suddenly appeared a transparent red barrier along with the stretch of his hand, surrounding the black ornament as its center.

"Now" Nia said as she continued to stretch out her hands with all her might.

Udzaa did the only thing that came to his mind, he stepped forward, passing through the barrier which then immediately solidified after he passed through it.

"Hold on for a while huh." he said to Nia who was standing outside the barrier.

Udzaa touched the Tiara with his sword, focused his mind then the seal of Kiso Boukutten was immediately absorbed into his sword. Leaving the black groove of the seal mark in his sword.

"How's it!?" nia asked with a stifled voice, it seemed like she was trying hard to defend the barrier.

"Wait a minute" replied Udzaa, who was now watching Tiara in front of him. Nothing happened for a while, but he just wanted to say safe, something happened.

From the Tiara came a very bright light, making the glare of the entire room. Simultaneously, came a wild shrieking sound from within.

KHHIIIINNNG!!!

The voice was deafening, Alvian got to her knees to hold her ears. Lian looked worried, holding her ears.

"Udzaa!! Seal back!!" shouted Lian who saw Nia groaning held back the barrier.

"Gerooo~" cried Errol craze.

Inside the barrier, Udzaa was stunned, staring blankly at the Tiara, staring into the glint of light that should have blinded her eyes. He could no longer hear anything, but without realizing it, he shed tears. Then a great explosion occurred.

DHUAAR!!!

***

Meanwhile, it was raided west.

"Huaaaahhh" a guard yawned widely, indicating that he was tired. He blinked several times, trying to get rid of his sleepiness.

"Hey, are you sleepy?" scold one of the senior guards. The guard nodded.

"Hurry wash your face there, lest you fall asleep while on duty" the senior guard told his subordinates.

"But chief, can't I get a little break? I'm so tired" he said, yawning once more.

"Ck! You were weak, you were just on duty this afternoon, and now you are tired" said the senior guard, shaking his head and telling his subordinates to wash their faces.

"Ah.. All right" he said lazily then stepped away.

"Basic, the young man today has just briefly stood guard is tired" said the senior guard but suddenly.

Sett!

"Ah, chief... Can I take some lemonade." said the guard, looking at his senior, but suddenly a dagger pierced his forehead as he turned.

The black-robed figure that drew out the dagger whispered softly in the guard's ear.

"Shh.. Don't be noisy, your chief is asleep"

Then the guard fell down with his head full of blood, the cloaked figure stared at his victim with a pus, licking his bloody dagger.

"Hey!! Who're you!!" a shout from the other guards sounded from behind his body. The figure turned his head, revealing his face as well as his dagger.

"Let's guess." said the figure.

"Pe-infiltrators!!" shouted the guard but did not last long because a moment later he was lying on the ground with his head drenched in blood.

"You're salaaaahhh!!" speak the figure with an outstretched tongue.

***

The condition of the city increasingly night looks increasingly crowded, all waiting for the closing ceremony that will soon be held, in front of the castle there are woods arranged in such a way as to form a tower, like a tower, the pile of wood will later be burned into a large bonfire that becomes a symbol of the spirit of peace.

Although it is still a few hours before the closing ceremony takes place, but there are already many visitors who are crowded the castle grounds.

"Wahhh!! Look at that, it's high" Tarisa said, pointing to the wooden pile in front of the castle.

"Tarisa, don't get too close, you'll get burned" Donna warned as she pulled her friend back, then sat on the edge of the castle grounds with Risma already there.

"You go anywhere" said Risma who has been looking for both

"Tarisa walked towards the bonfire there, lucky I saw him, otherwise he could have been burned" said Donna a little annoyed.

"Sorry" Tarisa said as she pursed her lips.

"Tarisa, if you're on fire, you won't be able to get a badge" Risma teased the girl who now shut her mouth as if she didn't want to do anything wrong.

The three of them laughed later.

The residents increasingly crowded the castle grounds. Flocked together through the main gate of the castle. Reach out to each other. Add to the fun tonight.

"Hey-hey, you know what, the kind-hearted brother who helped us get Captain Noey's equipment this morning" Tarisa said.

"You know his name?"

Donna seemed to think for a while, then wanted to immediately mention her name but interrupted Risma.

"Fransiska" said Risma proudly while Donna pouted.

"Captain of the Ninth Division" Donna added quickly, before Risma managed to explain.

Tarisa nodded in understanding.

"Sister Fran is good." he said with a smile.

"So better than me, huh?" noey's voice cut through the talk of the three of them immediately rising from his chair.

"Captain Noey, ka-kami. bu-kan we mean"

Noey laughing.

"You guys, do I look like I'm gonna eat you guys?" he said while laughing. Then he offered each of them a cotton candy.

"Thank you for helping out this morning" he said, which made the girls smile.

"Bribbing the little girl with the candy is not a good deed" a voice erupted, Noey clucked in annoyance, without turning his head to be sure who was behind him.

"So how are the kids? Is this fierce brother rude to you guys?" said Faruq who just appeared with Dinda beside him.

Different from usual, Faruq now did not wear his armor, instead a casual dress attached to his body wrapped in a black warm shirt. On the other hand Dinda looks sweet with a white dress that looks the same as Tarisa.

Noey immediately stared intently for a moment after Faruq said that. It made Faruq slightly back a few steps. But then his eyes returned as usual.

"It's up to you" Noey rolled her eyes, then once again thanked the three girls and then left.

"Heh.. What the hell is with that look" Faruq said.

"Maybe you stink" added Dinda who further irritated her.

"Captain" said Donna, bowing respectfully.

Faruq looked at the girl, then saw the Second Division badge in his hand.

"Hoo, you're from my division yaa" said Faruq cheerfully while Dinda threw a look of disgust at the man next to her.

"Um, I just passed the selection this week" said Donna.

"Ahahahaa.please help him yes" said Faruq friendly.

"Em, the same dress as mine" Tarisa said as she realized the dress Dinda wore. Dinda stared back at the girl in front of her flatly, her mouth still busy with loliglops.

"Eh.. Ano, eto vice-captain is not Tarisa's intention." said Risma awkwardly.

"Your name is Tarisa?" dinda asked flatly, Faruq who was standing next to her was a bit worried to see Dinda staring at the girl in front of her like that. He memorized the nature of his vice, Dinda could not bear to see another girl who was sweeter than him.

"Emmm.. Dinda, do you want more candy? I think we can get him." said Faruq, who tried to distract his deputy, but Dinda threw him with a loliglop.

"I'm not talking to you"

Tarisa fell silent, then she nodded. Then unexpectedly, Dinda smiled at him.

"I'm Dinda" he said as he extended his hand, asking her to shake hands.

Tarisa immediately welcomed the helping hand with a smile. Then Dinda smiled too. While Faruq stared at the horror with cold sweat pouring profusely.

'He's not gonna tear it up, is he?'

***

In the middle of the city, Mou is walking with her two friends, Iro and Frans. The three of them were walking towards the castle to see the closing ceremony.

Interspersed with laughter, the three of them were seen having fun with the aura of the festival.

Mou recounted her funny experience while carrying out her mission recently, making Frans even Iro laugh.

Until arriving at the atrium, the main street of the city is increasingly crowded with residents. It brings a pleasant atmosphere that they only feel once a year.

On the sidelines of the festivities, Frans fell without warning. Iro and Mou were shocked.

"French!!"

"You okay?" tanya Iro made sure, Frans shook his head. Mou immediately invited the two of them to sit in the sidewalk seat.

"Frans, this is drink first" said Mou while giving a drink.

"What's up Frans?"

He nodded, then smiled at the two of them. Trying to eliminate the worry on the faces of his two friends, although he could not eliminate the pain in his head at this time.

Something was bothering him, but he didn't know what it was. His head felt like it was stung, hot, like it had just been hit by something.

He looked up at the sky as Mou blabbed wildly. The sky full of stars twinkling like looking back at him.

"I'm fine, let's go" Frans said.

***

On the other hand, just above the city's border wall. A black-robed figure was seen sitting on top of the dead body guard while playing his dagger, behind him dozens of guards lying covered in blood.

The figure evaporated bored from behind his hood.

"Bahhh.. Is there anything interesting?" he said while playing his dagger boredly, thrusting it many times into the body of the big guard at his feet.

"I guess someone could comfort me in this place, apparently..."

Jamba! Dakk!!

He landed his dagger then violently stepped on it right into the corpse of the guard below.

"Membosankaaaaann~"

"I'm sorry, I think the party should end here" a voice made the figure a little surprised, behind him now stood Noey with a sword drawn forward.

Knowing that, the cloaked figure laughed. Then stand up from his sitting position.

"Khukhu!! I couldn't feel your presence until the last moment, I think I've found someone interesting" he said, turning to face Noey, her hood slumped down revealing creepy red eyes with a tongue that stuck out like a snake.

The dagger under his feet was magically raised towards the grasp of his hand. He licked the blood dripping from the silver dagger as he looked at Noey passionately killing.

His messy brown hair stuck to his cheeks with blood, he threw his robe everywhere.

Noey frowned at the male figure in front of him. Grasping his sword tightly.

"Who are you?"

"Well guess?" said the man in a loud voice.

Noey raised his eyebrows.

"Freak?" he said origin with a flat tone.

The figure shuddered, his body trembling before then leaping wildly towards Noey.

"You're salaaaaaaaahhhh!!"

***

Return to Research Division.

The explosion made the room fall apart, parchment sheets flying everywhere. Several cauldrons fell out of place and spilled their contents onto the floor.

"Ukh!" Lian rose from the position of the fall, the explosion made him thrown backwards, as well as Alvian who now looks more chaotic.

Lian looked ahead, seeing Nia who also fell on her knees with a severed breath, as she approached him.

"You okay?" the question made sure, Nia did not answer, some parts of her cloak look torn here and there. Nia glanced at it for a while while nodding. Then Lian circulated her gaze, looking for the figure of Udzaa and found it from behind the thick dust that flew.

"Geeh!! Almost" the figure of Udzaa from behind the dust was slowly visible, full of dust and chaos, what makes Lian surprised is that some of Udzaa's body was devoured by fire.

"Hey.." Lian had not had time to warn, Udzaa had devoured the flames that licked his body, all the flames just entered his mouth making Lian stunned.

"You ate.."

"It's really bad" he said as he stepped closer.

"But.have you done, how are you doing?" ask Lian.

Udzaa stretched his body, making some of his bones crackle.

"Not so good actually" he said.

Alvian rose from his fallen position, shaking his dusty robe. Then a crazy scream saw the room was chaotic.

"What did you do to my paradise!!"

"Norro!" Errol groaned from under the table.

"You okay?" udzaa asked towards Nia who looked very tired. Nia nodded briefly, then she turned towards Lian.

"I think we did it" he said, offering a Tiara that now looks shiny, like it is made of pure crystal.

"What really happened?"

Udzaa was silent for a while, remembering what had just happened. A light, a deafening shrill, then a strange glint that made his chest tight, then the explosion.

He looked at Lian immediately.

"I also don't understand, it just happened" he said quickly, hiding the fact of the flash he saw.

"But whatever it is, the explosion was quite dangerous, lucky I had absorbed it, yes even though it is not perfect" he said while showing his great sword which now has a large crack in the crystal.

"What the hell, Candellion cracked like this" Lian said as she stared at the sword in front of her.

"Even seal Kiso Boukutten.."

"Ikut is gone." added Udzaa.

"Whatever it is." said Nia who is now trying to stand up even though her legs are slightly shaking.

"I think it's safe now, and we know that Tiara is not just an ordinary Tiara" he said. Lian nodded in agreement.

"There's nothing we need to worry about right now, that Tiara, I think it's pure, that explosion erased the black magic" Udzaa explained.

"And also, whatever you did just now, don't ever use it again"

Nia smiled cynically.

"Chey, don't get me organized"

"She was right, Nia." added Lian who immediately cut off Nia.

"Not to worry, I just haven't gotten used to using it" he said immediately.

Just now Lian wanted to say something, a loud screeching sound. Followed by the footsteps of the guards who arrived, stormed into the room.

"Sorry to bother Mr. Aldrich!" said a guard.

"We've got an attack!"

"What!?"

***

Drap drape!

Brakk!!

"What's going on!!" lian's voice boomed as she opened the door and stormed into Aldrich's room.

Kevin was there with Bella.

"A surprise attack" said Kevin briefly.

"Explain!" said Nia while walking in a limp followed by the others.

"I don't know for sure, it just happened" Kevin explained

"A huge explosion occurred in the diatrium, making everyone panic, then out of nowhere appeared hundreds of Undead from every corner of the city" he added.

Nia looked ahead, from this open veranda she could see the entire city. There were shouts from the residents down there, and it could be seen, a group of ugly, skinless, chaotic creatures besieging every corner of the city.

"Damn! What the fuck!"

Drap drap drap!!

"Mr Aldrich!! Noah from the Third Division reports!" said the figure of the woman who had just come in a hurry, some wounds were visible open on her body.

"Continue" Nia said without looking.

"There was chaos everywhere, many residents were injured, the enemy's estimation used the mid-level Undead as his accomplice, ohookk!!" he said that he suddenly coughed, fresh blood spurting from his mouth.

Lian looked at the woman's wound.

"Poison, you were poisoned." said Lian then turned to the two guards at the end of the room.

"You two, take him to the Medical Division!" lian's orders.

"Wait for Mr. Aldrich.. Ohook!!" blood spouted from the woman's mouth.

"You're dying, don't say much, you two quickly take her!!" lian's orders were harsh.

But the woman named Noah clasped Lian's clothes hard, her face was pale, but she looked at Lian with the rest of her strength.

"Mr Aldrich.. Capcaptain.. Ohook!! Ka-captain No-Noey Ohookk! At.. The gates.. U.m.mor.."

After saying that Noah no longer spoke, his eyes stared blankly, then blood gushed violently from his mouth, splashed on Lian's face, then the woman's grip on Lian's shirt loosened.

Nia closed her eyes, she cursed herself who could not move freely at this moment. Strongly he struck the porch barrier until it cracked.

GRAKKKK!!

"Kevin!" nia orders in a high tone, Kevin turns his head, ready with all the orders handed to him.

"Light the level 3 danger sign, I want the captains of each Division to clean up the living corpses of those bastards!! Prioritize to protect the residents!! Secure the area around the main gate!!" nia's orders were immediately obeyed by Kevin.

"Youngzaa!!" he said again with a sharp look ahead.

"A good time to go berserk" Nia said again.

Udzaa nodded in understanding.

"Errol, let's go!" he said, then melted into a white smoke puff which then shot away followed by Errol who flew behind him.

***

While it was at the main gate, the fierce fight was almost over.

The figure of Noey who fell to his knees with a body full of wounds, the left shoulder protector has been released, showing a large wound there, and there, he could no longer move due to his ruptured kneecap and nerve-lubricating poison that was now spreading in his veins.

Several incision wounds also adorned his face, a line of blood slid down from his temple, dripping down through his chin.

Around him, the bodies of the guards and fighters of the various Divisions lay lifeless with open wounds. Removing the fishy smell of blood into the air.

Noey, at least had fought long enough, but his opponent did not look tired in the least. Even more passionate.

The pain in his shoulder was not comparable to what he now felt. Seeing his friends being played to death like that, made him want to explode.

However he resisted, none of his attacks left any significant injuries. One thing he can confirm now.

The man in front of him, not the man.

With a breath he looked at his opponent.

"Who are you really?"

The man before him smirked madly, looking at him with a gaze full of killing intent.

"It's interesting that you've been able to get this far." said the man shuddering happily. It's like finding something really fun.

"You're crazy" Noey said sharply.

The man just laughed, laughed louder and louder. Then it stopped suddenly while looking at Noey wistfully.

"That's it.." then he laughed again.

Suddenly help came, several guards stormed the man together.

"Knighteek!!" noey shouted, but too late, it didn't take long for all the guards to fall.

"Antikaayann!!" imitate the man in a mocking tone, then laugh. Lifting up one of the undead guards on his feet.

"Khukhu.. It's night, isn't it better to sleep?" he said interspersed with the guard's shrieks, while Noey was completely immobile with his broken kneecap.

"Why? Can't be closed?" said the man was still playing with guards who were whimpering more and more.

"Then let me help you" he said in a trembling voice as he thrust his dagger into the guard's eyes.

Blood gushed profusely followed by the guard's roar, unpretentious with the man's laughter. Noey only grimaced in his place, forcing his body to move, but the poison in his body had completely paralyzed his nerves.

"You ********!!" raung Noey, made the man take his eyes off.

He removed the dead guard from his hands, letting him fall.

The man looked at Noey. His expression changed, there was no more laughter and a grin on his face, now he stared intently at Noey.

"I don't think I'm interested in you anymore" he said as he stepped towards Noey. Blood dripped from the silver dagger in his hand.

The man grinned just as he was in front of Noey.

Lifting his dagger high.

"Congratulations.. malaaaaaaaaaaamm~"
