The commander clucked in annoyance, thinking what more could he muster to defeat the female figure in front who was now standing still, staring at the white-haired man behind.
In his heart he began to wonder, was it possible for that man to hide his true strength? Why is someone this strong, so interested in him who already has trouble using which shield?
Feeling inadmissible, the commander used more mana until both hands trembled, powerless to withstand the flow of so much mana.
However, he did not care, all he wanted was a confession from Celine and he would do anything to be able to defeat the figure named Zent.
In two steps, he had already slid swiftly towards her, swinging the sword in the hope of at least attracting the attention of the woman who was holding back his attack using only one finger.
Strong wind created from the impact was accompanied by a powerful energy blast until the wooden boxes around were thrown backwards.
The commander gritted his teeth, annoyed that his attack could not even catch his attention. He was then bounced back by a slow push from his index finger.
When just about to step foot, several arrows shot from above, forming a circle with the woman inside.
Up there, Rayven raised his right hand parallel to his chest and closed it tightly, creating a green cage that shrank, attempting to destroy the figure inside.
But of course it won't be that easy.
He managed to hold the cage with both hands and was about to jump. But being stopped by Rio who also appeared from above, swinging his huge hammer with all his might, hit the woman's body just as Rayven opened the cage "Celine now!"
Then not far above them, a transparent golden sword glowed brightly, larger in size than before.
Celine plunged down with the huge mana sword, smashing her figure into the ground, creating a huge crater and destroying several buildings around.
Celine landed on the road safely, panting after exerting that much mana and rushed straight towards Zent without realizing that the commander called out to her with a smile on his face that instantly turned into hatred. Watching from afar, the figure of the woman he loved now embraced another man.
"Zenti! ZENT!!" Celine shouted as she ran over here and grabbed me so tightly that I had a little trouble breathing "I thought you were gone! I found your body has been-been.. " A sobbing came out, no longer able to be held by Celine with her arms getting stronger until it felt tight.
"Cel-Celine.. You're choking me" My screams are more like a whisper.
As soon as he regained consciousness and stepped back, I immediately took a deep breath, filled the lungs that had been almost empty, then exhaled, feeling more relieved.
"I-I'm sorry, I.. " Celine couldn't finish her sentence. The knight's face suddenly turned red like a boiled shrimp, making me wonder, what might he want to say?
The commander came over, putting on a fake smile that looked so well trained "Celine! It's good to see you're okay. I can't believe you've grown stronger" he praised with contrived happiness.
Celine certainly did not realize this and considered it a sincere compliment from the heart "Oh, thank you. I can do it thanks to Zent"
The last name he mentioned managed to make the commander's face change completely, full of hatred and anger.
As a result of his jealousy, he forgot to control the look on his face in front of Celine who saw him looking at me so sharply. If it were just the two of us, I'm sure he would have come forward to kill me.
"Loid, she-she
"Zent use your mana shield!"
Thanks to Z, I was able to use my mana shield and fast-moving ability to withstand the attack of the woman who knew about had appeared beside Celine.
Celine is not silent.
He re-deploys the mana not a little to send him flying smashed into the building across to penetrate into the building behind "Rayven immediately check the state of Zent!" His command before jumping into the building was with Rio and followed by the Commander.
He watched me for a moment before catching up with them.
"Zenti! How are you doing?" Rayven cried while climbing into the pile of rocks "Oh, I forgot you have the ability to regenerate" he said when he saw me fine. It was as if it had never hit a wall so strong it was destroyed using its own body.
"Where is the princess and Mr. Anderson?" I asked while patting my clothes.
"They were safe in the camp, using the secret paths of the palace. Take it easy, they're okay. We just have to face the woman, and then everything goes back to how it was"
"I don't feel that way. I just feel like this is just the beginning, the beginning of a big storm we've never felt" We walked out, search where the three of them are and find flashes of bright lights in different colors in the distance.
I can't believe they've gotten that far. They were all on different levels, what could I do other than become a living shield?
"You can't beat him"
We simultaneously turned around, finding Mr. Anderson was standing not far behind while looking in the same direction as "Mr. Andersen! What are you doing here? What about the princess?" Asking me worried.
"Luna is safe at camp. Now he is sleeping while hugging Mr. Ted. Thank you for finding it for Luna" said Mr. Anderson while bowing the body I hurriedly lifted slowly while shaking slowly.
"No, Mr. Andersons. It wasn't me who got it, but two goblin brothers. We just happened to meet them and their short story gave the doll belonged to the princess" I explained, only able to look down, feeling a failure towards myself.
Mr. Anderson laughed out loud, patted me on the shoulder and said "You're putting yourself down too much, Zent. I heard everything that happened while I was there. You deserve to be proud of your achievement, but.. "
Suddenly bright blue electricity appeared out of his body, snatching onto the street with a creepy sound "We still have things to do. Let's talk further when all this is done" When the new will step, Mr. Anderson was reminded by something and hurriedly reached into the pouch, throwing a transparent blue box at me "Use it, a gift from Luna. He asked me to give it to you"
In just a blink of an eye, Mr. Anderson knew it was already on top of the roof of the building in front. A long electrical path was created from where it stood until its figure which a second later had disappeared. Just leaving a bright electric tail, telling us which way he's moving.
These.. Glory!?
Rayven was about to say something, but hearing the fight in the distance made him abandon his intentions and leave first after saying "Follow when you're ready!"
I nodded, watching the alien-feeling cube, confused as to what to do with this.
Suddenly, the cube floated in the air, spinning rapidly with blue light appearing brighter before finally the cube separated into several pieces.
There were threads of light from one part to another that moved closer, attached to my body, forming a futuristic armor in white decorated with golden neon lights.
I smile at Luna's gift, say "Thank you" and catch up with Mr. Andersons.
Not until two seconds later, a lightning bolt struck not far ahead, sign Mr. Anderson has joined the fight.
Thanks to him, I believe the fight will be much easier than before.
