Eps 28: Festival of Lights

"Nala, let's wake up. 30 minutes from the festival begins," Max gently wakes Nala up.

Nala soon woke up though still seemed reluctant, with a giant step Nala walked to the bathroom.

This time Nala wore a bright blue dress with a floral motif, along the ankle with a lacy bottom, her hair in high tie with blue ribbons, white shoes, and a white one, the blue marigold flowers in her hair as well as the fragrant lavender that came out made her the perfect girl of the night.

On the other hand Max is also uniform with Nala, blue noble clothes with blue robes as well, plus hair that is only in a random comb, blue shoes, blue shoes, dark blue dominant trousers and modern watches that Author doesn't know where he's got them from.

Raeky's appearance, wearing a yellow noble suit matching Lyra's, dark yellow trousers with bright robes, yellow shoes, hair combed to the side and of course a golden rolex watch, where did she get!?.

Lyra wears a plain yellow dress with open shoulders, the top of the hair is tied up but the bottom is in the booth with yellow dandelion flower clasps, the necklace should not forget, the white shoes and fragrant flowers also make Lyra look perfect.

Xander wore bright red noble clothes with dark red trousers, disheveled hair (combed males), black advanced watch on the right hand, dark red shoes, dark red shoes, his robe was also bright red with a hint of blood red.

Then Vier uses a bright red dress with light floral motifs, soft dark red shoes, hair on the side tie with a ribbon (in Xander's dandanin let ga creepy really), and, the fragrance of roses makes anyone captivated.

"To this day we do not need to use a mask, quite rich gini aja," said Nala.

"""yeah"""

When they reached the bottom floor of the inn, they became the public spotlight let alone the aura that was accidentally emitted made the guards unwilling to have to submit to their entourage.

"Hey look at those girls, so beautiful and graceful."

"/plaque you don't see the man next to them, they're probably his girlfriend."

"God... Are they noble families? or a great master?."

"Lord.the beauty of that girl made me melt."

Nala and her entourage seemed unconcerned, they continued to walk towards the city park, where the festival center this time.

"Max, this time you must accompany me because tomorrow we will be selection" whispered Nala.

"Yes yes, take it easy" Max replied.

With Nala feeling happy to walk with Max, the rest scattered to see. The light festival this time is very lively, a lot of people from various races and nations gather, Nala's eyes sparkle as soon as he sees the snacks that are rented at the festival.

"His appetite, no one mentioned it," Max reprimanded when he saw Nala who was enthusiastic about eating snacks.

He pulled out a handkerchief and wiped Nala's lips, Nala just smiled as she kissed Max's cheek.

We've got this third person point of view, we're moving to Vier ufufu...

~oOo~

Vier pov's

This festival of lights is so crowded! oh my goodness, I have trouble moving! where's Xander!? geez! this boy even said. I walked up to one of the stalls selling roasted duck meat, bought it and tried. Em. I don't think enjoying a festival like this is bad.

While I was eating, I felt a bad breath, for some reason I was goosebumps, there was a strong demonic aura here! seriously..this is not Xander's aura, this...this leads more to the demon king's aura! jesus...is the demon king going to rise here? please don't, I'm not ready.

Pock

"Well!."

I jumped in shock but it was Xander who patted my shoulder, I heaved a sigh of relief. Xander's face turned serious.

"You feel that too?," he asked softly, I nodded slowly with a serious face.

"Forget it, just enjoy your roast duck," Xander replied to me.

As soon as I kicked him, I don't know what we were thinking until it looked like a cat and mouse haha.

~oOo~

Lyra pov's

I'm trying various snacks around like Nala and Vier, em. yummy, rarely loh can eat snacks gini, usually it is forbidden to mulu same father. Eh. even so confided. Actually I was separated from Raeky, he disappeared somewhere so I went for a walk myself.

The cheeks of the bandits were interested in me, they with their song came close to me. Well... I just keep quiet while eating my snacks, what do they want? either bodo very.

"Hey lady, would you like to come with us? we have a lot of money, "gagged one of the bandits, dih. situ think I'm short of money..!?

"....."

I turned around and looked for other food, unfortunately the bandits were dying. They confronted me with the look of song.

"😒."

My calm and indifferent face makes them uncomfortable, I am ordinary even though it has been at the stake of a knife, a gun and so on.

Gruuduk

The ground suddenly shook, I still looked calm but not with the bandits. They are confused about what happened. A sharp hard ground suddenly emerged from below, locking the movement of the bandits, the motion of a few lives drifting.

I chuckled softly then passed them casually, subconsciously killing some of them. Hahaha.. ouch. they are asking for harm I have kabulin ehh.

"Puppy...."

One of them was so scared, so scared he peed in his pants! hahaa!!😂😂, ngakak.

"Uncle, you're looking for trouble with the wrong people" I whispered wickedly.

I disappeared from sight of everything then the hard and sharp ground that was sticking out was back to how it was, everyone had great goosebumps looking at me that easily defeated the bandits. On the other hand I went into a small and dark alley, I chuckled at the whispers of the people there.

"Yeah!."

I was shocked when my hand pulled someone into an even smaller alley.

Glug

Raeky!? why is Raeky here? the distance between us is very small. I closed my eyes waiting for what Raeky would do.

"Don't make trouble at the festival" Raeky said, opening my eyes.

I saw her smiling sweetly, so sweet that my face turned red. Is he sugar? why is her smile so sweet!?. Raeky chuckled, she raised my chin until our gazes met.

There was a noise outside the alley where we were, we turned our heads and saw many knights in armour complete with weapons. We were curious and decided to take a peek at what was happening.

There seemed to be a black-robed person standing in the middle of the street as if he was waiting for the knights, Raeky and I felt a demonic aura that was stronger than the Vier aura of the robed person.

The action really surprised us, the knights had installed illusion magic so that the civilians did not panic even they deliberately moved themselves to a special dimension, me and Raeky accidentally moved along so we had to hide and suppress our aura.

The knights had prepared all their strongest abilities beyond the expectation of the cloaked man not budging at all even when the amount of magic that led to him, he still did not budge.

The most surprising thing was that, when the cloaked person waved his hand, at that time the dark magic like a black hole absorbed the magic of the knights. Then returning it back, I vaguely heard him say.

"Black hole: absorb."

Then

"Black hole: out."

The magic fluttered everywhere leaving the knights divided. After that hundreds of pitch-black arrows with purple flames at the end rained down on the knights until only 1 person was left and it was seriously injured.

"You won't be able to fight me" said the cloaked man and destroyed this artificial dimension.

Me and Raeky were staring at the spot until that person completely disappeared, could it be that he....... THE DEVIL KING LUCIFER CONTAINER!!?.

~oOo~

Nala pov's

A few minutes before the battle of the knights with the robed man

Hi, I'm currently separated from Max, pretty simple. I'm just waiting in the park chair for ice cream, I can see Vier and Xander from here but I don't know Raeky and Lyra. Suddenly I got goosebumps, there was a terrible chill. My back is breaking out in cold sweat! I could feel the aura of darkness emanating from around me, very clearly until.....

"Hey!."

"Well!."

I was surprised when I turned around to find Ryan whom I had helped in the forest, he was wearing a black robe but the hood was lowered so I could see his smiling face.

"Oh... Ryan, are you cured?" I asked.

"Well, that's it, oh yeah."

Ryan reached into the pocket of his robe and took out a bracelet, he showed the bracelet to me.

"Ta-da~ thanks me for helping me back then."

"😊Makasiiii..."

I displayed my sweet smile, I still felt the aura of pitch darkness from Ryan's body. I know something's wrong with Ryan.

"I'm using ya," he said.

I nodded with a smile, and she put the bracelet on my wrist. Beautiful, it fits in my hand.

"Keep well, I'm leaving. Bye...."

Ryan patted my head slowly and then disappeared, the aura I still felt even vaguely. But there was the same dark aura gripping him from Ryan's bracelet.

Who the hell is he? is he related to our mission?

The festival of light still continues with festive, the more the night the lights are lit. It was beautiful, right at midnight. The peak event begins.

The mayor's welcome and all, this time I'm looking for Max. Why did he say everything! I am tired of her nyari.

"Ouch... Max where the hell is it? this has been until the peak event loh," I muttered with a pouting face.

Tep

Wush

Suddenly I felt my shoulders clap someone and I disappeared from the crowd. When I opened my eyes, I saw the view of the sea of humans at this festival. When I looked back, Max smiled sweetly as he said.

"See from here it's clearer and more beautiful."

I smiled happily, we were on the roof of a tall 5-story hotel. The view of the light festival is very beautiful from here. Many people passed by and a beautiful light light was everywhere.

"Hey Max see, it's Lyra and Raeky," I said pointing to 2 people who were also on the roof of a 3-story house.

"Then it was Vier and Xander," Max replied pointing to a house that was not far from Lyra and Raeky.

Vier and Xander were seen sitting on the roof of the auction house at that time, a 5-story high place was also.

Psiiuu

Dhars

Lots of fireworks are launched into the dark night sky, I was very enthusiastic to see it. But all of a sudden I was hit by a severe drowsiness, I fell asleep and I didn't know what was going on.

~oOo~

Vier pov's

The longer the festival gets crowded, I was followed by Xander directly from earlier, ni son what? isn't the demon aura gone? but I feel like something's wrong.

I jumped to the roof of a 5-story building, I got goosebumps. It felt like something incredible was going to happen, I brushed off that feeling and tried to calm down and focus.

Tep

Someone patted me on the shoulder, I turned my head and saw Xander sitting next to me. His calming look made me calm again.

"Now, eat the grilled duck," Xander offered a serving of roasted duck.

Em. Good, maybe this will be my favorite meal.

Psiiuu

Duarrr

Fireworks launched making the night sky so beautiful, I smiled gently. It was a beautiful, lively and warm evening, thank you dad for sending Xander to me. He's a good bodyguard and a friend.

I don't know what's going to happen, hopefully it's not a big deal.

After that we go back to the inn, tomorrow is the selection, do not be late.

~oOo~

Lyra pov's

After we saw the shocking incident, Raeky and I went looking for another meal. Although we still feel there will be something, but at least we can calm down.

The deg!

Once again I was goosebumps, someone with a terrible aura had just passed me, gleg. I even froze in the crowd, if only Raeky had not taken me to the roof of a house. Otherwise I'll get hit down there.

"What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.

"So that guy..."

"Sstt. Calm down, he just passed by. Calm down, ok," Raeky tried to calm me down who was even shaking so scared.

"Start."

Raeky jumped down, into a tavern, I could see him buying lollipops. Then Raeky went back to the roof.

"Now, eat. Let it be quieter" he said, offering sweets.

I smiled, thanked him and ate the lollipop, I didn't know that time Nala and Max saw the two of us, well.

I didn't even observe what the MCs down there were talking about, which they obviously said countdown like they wanted a new year. Maybe the new year is better.

Psiuu

Duarr

Hundreds maybe even thousands of fireworks were launched in the dark night sky, right after I felt calmer.

I'm happy, I rarely get rich gini. It was as if before Raeky became my bodyguard haha. After finishing the sweets, we returned to the inn.

~oOo~

Author pov

After everyone returned to the inn, strange things began to happen. Max, Raeky, Xander, Lyra and even Vier feel there is something powerful. It was all from Nala's body, an extremely dense darkness energy.

They even installed a protector so that the aura of darkness Nala not until felt by the knights, can be upset. The aura from Nala's body was more of a demon than ordinary dark magic, and this time it was extremely pure. Vier and Xander can absorb it.

"Why is this so?" asked Lyra curiously.

"Where I know, Xander asked Vier. They were simply absorbing the pure energy from Nala," Raeky replied.

"It's..truly!," exclaimed Xander.

They looked at Xander seriously.

"Why?" asked Max.

"It's like the coronation ceremony of the demon queen!" exclaimed Vier in shock.

The coronation ceremony of the demon queen? what does that mean.....

"WHAT!!!?."

"You mean Nala was chosen to be the queen consort of the demon king!!!!?."

Everyone was shocked, they stared at Nala elaborately. On the other hand Nala entered her subconscious.

"Where am I?."

Nala walks in a kingdom in a black-red dress that is very beautiful but also spooky. Nala went into a room, there were a lot of people in that room. Like a wedding, Nala froze in front of the door. The person at the wedding altar was Ryan.

Nala was silent, until her body suddenly walked itself towards the altar, Nala tried to resist but she was now only conscious. Nala went up to the altar and the priest said the holy promise of marriage.

"Mr Lucifer, are you ready?."

"I'm ready."

'Lucifer? isn't that Ryan? is.... impossible! he's the demon king!?, Nala's inner being shocked.

"Miss Elma, are you ready?."

Nala was silent but her lips moved on their own and answered.

"I'm ready."

"Congratulations, now you've both legally become husband and wife. The groom can kiss the bride."

'No, please, please. no! ow...!.'

Cup

Then Nala's consciousness was pulled back into a garden, where she was standing in an empty place. Nala saw a beautiful woman pregnant. Then a handsome man walked up to him.

"What's up?."

"So, I feel like there's gonna be something bad."

2 The men were Lucifer and Elma, and Nala didn't know why she was pointing this out. His consciousness was back in the far pull to a field, where there were so many corpses from the fight and Nala's body was pierced by 2 running figures.

2 The figure is Elma and Lucifer, Elma carrying a baby in her carrier. Behind him were people chasing them. Follow them to a forest. A dragon came out from Lucifer's hand, a deep purple dragon.

"Dragon of illusion, stay in this bracelet and protect my child and wife" said Lucifer.

The bracelet was the one Nala wore, as time went on. Nala's consciousness was pulled where it made her feel dizzy. Until he sees and hears Lucifer's ultimate goal, looking for his two children and his wife.

Btw the first kid tuh cewe and the second boy. The first child was Vier's mother, Inez. The second son is Ryan, but Ryan is frozen in a place and protected by an illusionary dragon. You don't know yet, do you? of course, Author:v.

After that a great war between the demon race and the angels. Lucifer is sad because he can't find Elma and her son.

Nala's left wrist, precisely in the bracelet Ryan gave shine. A small dragon crept from the wrist all the way to Nala's neck, tied around her neck and whispered.

"Have you seen everything...?"

Nala was silent, she wanted to talk but her mouth was locked.

"You know what Ryan gave me to you for?."

Nala kept quiet, she couldn't talk at all.

"She wants me to protect you, she wants you to be friends with her but I want you to be her queen."

The deg!

Nala goosebumps to hear it, she doesn't want to marry young woy!.

"But when I expressed my intentions, he was angry and just wanted to be friends with you, you freak."

Nala was silent.

"Oh I forgot to take off the magic in your mouth," the dragon murmured and then giggled softly.

"Down."

The cold intonation and gushing from Nala successfully gave the purple dragon goosebumps, he immediately descended from Nala's body and stood in front of her.

"Who are you?" asked Nala.

"I? I am a psicionic-type demon-race dragon or you can call me an illusionary dragon, you could say from now on I am your familiar" he replied.

"Wow... Familiar! em... You have another name?."

"Nothing, the king just gave me the name of an illusionary dragon."

"ah! tell you what, from now on your name is Kimi."

"Hm.... Kimi's? all right, from now on my name is Kimi, thank you!."

Kimi floated in the air as she was twisting in place then purple smoke began to cover her body. From the smoke also appeared the body of a small child in beautiful clothes, precisely he loli.

Kimi himself was surprised by the change.

"That's your form?" asked Nala.

"Somehow, I just knew naming was a blessing" Kimi replied happily.

"Ep... Kimi."

"Yes?."

"Where is this?."

"Oh. This is the dimension of the space in your bracelet, and what you saw was just an illusion" Kimi replied.

"You..... How do you create that illusion?."

"The way is easy, I just stay focused on a story and the character and focus which many are channeled slowly to the focal point after that boom! the illusion is made."

"Can I do it?" asked Nala.

"If you have a supply of mana or psicionic spiritual roots or maybe both, you can use illusion magic or other magic that is a branch of illusion magic" Kimi replied casually.

Nala seemed to think, she started sitting cross-legged. Focusing her mind on thinking of a vast place without limits then when Nala opened her eyes the beautiful meadow, Kimi was even amazed. It's the first time, but Nala's been successful.

Make an illusion, not into the dimensions of the bracelet's space.

"Miss, you're so great! being able to enter the dimension of space just by thinking about its shape!," Kimi chirped made Nala cough up blood.

Kimi who saw it instantly made Nala sit in a cross-legged position, Nala coughed up blood not from surprise but her mana use which drained a lot.
