A few minutes before Zent arrived in the forest..
"Zent, where are you?" Celine asked expectantly, no longer able to hold the magic dome for longer even with the help of the green light behind the wall.
His right hand was already shaking violently with sweat drenching the body. It has been a miracle he can survive until now for the sake of his two friends who are still unconscious. Not only mana, Celine's energy had been depleted with a blurred look, her body mark had already crossed the line.
Even a Tier 5 knight needed some time to rest, while since yesterday he had not gotten enough rest due to the various situations that occurred.
Celine clenched her hands tightly, trying to fight the fatigue that was slowly ruling the body. He won't give up until the last blood, it's not time for him to fall.
He was a knight and not just an ordinary knight, but a Tier 5 knight that was difficult to achieve without a hard work. He's still a long way to go, there's still so much Celine wants to do, moreover, she doesn't want to appear weak while she knows she can still try.
After going through a much crueler life, he wanted to give up from exhaustion?
That's not gonna happen.
Exerting all the remaining energy, Celine enlarged the dome, shouting loudly to expel all her energy and mana. Each of the cubes slammed out, smashing the walls and ceiling of the cave, giving way for the rays of the sun to enter illuminating the knight who was now smiling in relief with his body no longer powered.
His two best friends were awakened by the thundering sound of a cave that is now gone, looking around, then looking at the friend who began to sway left and right like a drunk before falling down, arrested by Rayven.
"Celine, are you okay?" Asked worried that Rio started reciting a healing spell, putting both palms forward forming a green magic circle which then made Celine's body glow.
Slowly, the energy as well as Celine's mana returned filled, enough to give her power back to the city.
They kept asking how he could destroy a cave located deep enough in a mountain and just eliminate it. Tier 5 Knights were indeed strong, but not this strong. Only those at Tier 8 and above were able to do so
Celine herself doesn't understand how.
He only knew he had to save them or they were buried alive.
Then Celine remembered the glowing wall, glanced back and found another room that looked dark because it still had a ceiling.
Inside there, a spider web and its eggs appear around the pillar. Meaning, the spider was previously protecting the nest, trying to keep out the distress from the children that seemed to soon hatch.
Not far ahead, there was a shadow of a giant creature with the same body as a human.
The difference is, the creature has a dim green line on the head without the face that Celine guessed is an eye.
The closer they got, the more visible the figure was, a figure that turned out not to be a living creature, but something else like a large golem, asleep without showing any signs of waking up.
Rayven and Rio watched the creature up close, tapping on its legs that looked big and sturdy, making the same sound as the artificial cave they were in.
"I don't know. Maybe a Guardian? What we still do not know is in charge of guarding what" replied Rayven pay attention to the large creature carefully, can not take a look at the slightest look at the attractive design, and, especially for the men because this golem has a body like a mighty knight.
"I wonder, how strong would he be if he woke up? Maybe even a Tier 7? Or 8? Why is there no record of it? Intentionally hidden or forgotten? Ohh, I really need to find information"
Rio shook his head at the behavior of his best friend, something that had become Rayven's habit when he found it interesting.
He will be a thief who steals not property, but information. And no hesitation in doing so despite having to face the king as long as he can quench the thirst referred to as curiosity "Stop Ray, you know what will happen if you let your curiosity take control" He said worried because Rayven would not care if he had to lose his life for the information.
Like someone who has been addicted, of course, it is not that easy for Rayven to control himself. Especially after finding something that might hold a big secret, a secret that might change everything. INFORMATION THAT MAY BE
Celine, without restraint, pressed Rayven's shoulder until he fell to his knees on the ground screaming for mercy, promising not to repeat "Control yourself.
You are a Tier 5 knight, lest all the energy and sweat you put out go to waste because you can't resist lust" He ordered, took off the grip, and moved closer to the creature, it felt its know-how surface move once Celine's finger touched it.
The three of them immediately dodged, grasping their respective weapons, ready if the golem came attacking.
However, he just watched them, especially Celine using the green line that was now brightly lit.
The eyes then moved to watch the two people on the left and right, before returning to the figure in the middle that seemed to give off a golden aura.
Following an order long given to her, she knelt in honor of Celine like a knight to the Queen.
The three people did not know what to do to watch the creature with a height of 20 meters kneel on them.
But Celine who followed instinct, put a palm on her head. The golem paused for a moment before rising to its feet, saying "The time is near, we must return immediately, Your Majesty"
Hearing him, made the three people silently stare, not understanding the reason he called Celine 'His Majesty', considering that Celine was only a knight who was under the auspices of the Anderson family.
However, before they could ask that question, they heard a loud noise from an energy explosion.
Celina and her two best friends looked at each other, curious about who or what caused the energy to crash that much because they should only be alone in the forest and no creature in this forest can..
"The zent!" Sahut them simultaneously.
"Go up to me, Your Majesty with your two knights, I will drive you closer to where the energy came from" Pinta golem who then lowered his right arm to touch the floor, make it easier for them to go up and stand on their shoulders.
Once finished, the golem asked them to use mana so as not to fall. Because not until two seconds later, he had run to the previous room, jumped high and landed outside, then continued to rush towards the arrival of energy.
