Junta & Wizarding World
#34 Monster Spider
It was morning, Junta and Kou were currently continuing their journey towards Polski village, certainly in the same way as yesterday, this is the 2nd day since Junta and Kou received a request from Queen Rana to examine an ancient monster in the form of a large spider, actually, they have been moving since then, since the sun has not shown itself, so it did not take long for them to arrive at Polski village.
“Are you okay Kou?”
After stopping near the crossroads, Junta asked Kou who looked exhausted.
Kou lost his magic first before finally answering his sister's question.
“How did I decrease after using that magic, but I don't think it's too severe, I can still fight”
“If you need a break then just say it, we still have a lot of time left, so no need to rush”
“Sure, I'll tell Brother if I need a break”
After that small conversation, Junta and Kou walked down the path to Polski village, Junta was not surprised by the same and unchanging scenery, after all, not long ago they left this village so it was only natural that nothing had changed, at this time Junta and Kou wanted to talk to the head of Polski village to ask the whereabouts of the monsters they were looking for, who knows if the village chief knows something.
The Junta and Kou stops are actually not far from the Polski village itself, so it did not take long for them to reach the village.
As usual, the village looked busy, many people were taking care of their fields on this sunny morning, from a distance, Junta and Kou could see the village chief was talking to someone, he said, naturally Junta and Kou walked towards the village chief in a relaxed manner.
“Good morning, village head”
The village chief who was still talking to someone seemed to be unaware of the Junta's arrival, so he turned his head to see who greeted him.
“Oh you guys, there needs to be you guys back to our simple village?”
“We won't ask for much of your time, we just want to ask if there's a spider monster around here big enough?”
The village chief looked worried and confused while looking at his interlocutor who was beside him.
“I've never heard of any such report around here, but one of my residents beside me reported that something was bothering the villagers to enter a forest, maybe you want to check it out?”
“Something that bothers you? Can't the villagers get in there?”
“When we went into the forest, there was a kind of aura that was so threatening that we had to leave the forest out of fear, so it could be said that something did not like our presence”
The opponent spoke, the village chief suddenly opened his voice.
“Indeed where is this forest you mean?”
“To be there, across the field you see the forest right? The forest I mean”
Junta and Kou looked at the person's index finger pointing, after finding out that the forest was close enough to this village, this made Junta and Kou think for a moment.
Actually Junta and Kou walked to this village not to help them, but to carry out the request of queen Rana, the request of queen Rana according to the Junta is a request that is classified as important and urgent, that was why he was a little confused about whether to help the villagers or not even though he himself had a request that needed to be resolved immediately, but Junta thinks they don't know where to start looking for the monster either, so the Junta felt that helping the villagers who were here might give them some kind of clue to look for the monster.
“How do you think Kou?”
“Why not? We also do not know where to start
It seemed like Kou was thinking about what Junta was thinking.
“Alright we will check it out, me and Kou will report it to you whatever we meet there”
“Thank you, I'll pay you guys for this”
Junta and Kou looked at each other before Kou finally said.
“No need sir village chief, we are not here to help this village from the beginning, we have other requests to take care of, just save your money for emergency”
“Although you say so..”
“If you really want to pay us village chief, then we do not set a special price, pay us as much as you” can
The village chief smiled at Junta who said so.
“I count on y'all”
Junta and Kou nodded to the village chief before finally walking towards the forest.
The forest was located not far from the village, so it didn't take long for Junta and Kou to reach the forest, after entering the forest a few steps, Kou seemed to sense something.
“It seems I understand why the villagers feel threatened”
Kou said that while walking beside his sister.
“I also feel it, for ordinary people this nuance is indeed very scary”
“Is this some kind of magic? Did someone put this magic to drive the villagers away?”
“I don't know if this is a magic or not, all we can do is walk along where this aura leads us”
“I hope this isn't something that troubles”
Junta and Kou continued their journey following that terrifying aura, to be honest Junta and Kou also felt a little threatened by the aura present in the forest, which was, plus the forest could be said to have many tall and densely-leaved trees, making the sunlight not very able to enter there, anything that gave off this aura, Junta and Kou must be careful.
After quite a while of walking in the direction where the aura was leading, Kou felt something was moving behind him, making Kou quickly have to levitate several arrows made of ice towards the enemy.
The enemy can avoid the arrow and make the arrow stick in the tree.
“Kou! Are you crazy?!”
Apparently it was Zonya.
“Oh Zonya, I thought you were enemies”
“What are you doing here Zonya?”
“That's exactly my question, what are you doing here?”
The zone was moving closer towards them.
“We run a request here, and you?”
“I don't know what requests you're running but you'd better get out of here”
“What's up?”
“In this forest there is an ancient monster that is the target of the Association, the monster is considered to be in class 6 so this monster cannot be underestimated even for class 5 like me, especially for you guys class 0”
Junta and Kou looked at each other with suspicious faces, then Junta said.
“What monsters are the targets of this Association are spider monsters that are big enough?”
“Where did you guys know?”
Junta and Kou looked at each other again before Kou finally said.
“Once it seems, the Association turned out to have moved first, let me make sure once again, is this monster a big spider monster? And also this monster is the reason for the Association to conduct a massive operation?”
“What information has been leaked to the public?”
“So, I understand now”
Junta said that while folding both his hands on the chest.
“Then what you said earlier is our sentence Zonya”
“What do you mean Junta?”
“You better leave this forest, the Association will not be strong against this monster”
“Hey, I know this is a class 6 monster, but the Association is not as weak as it”
“Don't that mean you as a class 5 can't beat that class 6 monster?”
“True, more precisely not if alone”
“But you're alone right?”
Zonya let out a long sigh before finally speaking.
“Association actually divides us the 5th class in a group, each group consists of 2 people and is tasked to search for this monster by splitting”
“Dan.. Where is the one other person who should be next to you?”
His zone clucked his tongue before continuing.
“My partner is Galtier, the man wearing a white general-like shirt who approached me yesterday when we returned to the capital”
Junta and Kou are seen trying to remember something before finally realizing what really happened.
“What do you mean the person you call Gal? Who carries a thin sword like a katana on his waist?”
“That's him”
“No wonder if you guys split up, it looks like you guys do have a personal problem”
Junta said like that while scratching his head.
“I don't know what Gal's thinking, but that's the situation now”
“Why are you still on this mission? I mean isn't it the same as risking your life if you search for this monster alone?”
“I think that's what they call responsibility and professionalism”
Junta and Kou look at each other, and Kou moves his hand like a man who doesn't know what else to do.
“Because we have the same target, why don't we cooperate?”
“Junta, I will tell you once again, this monster is a class 6 monster, I alone cannot defeat it, I cannot guarantee your safety”
“Whatever you warn us, it won't work Zonya, me and Kou are running an important request, we can't just leave here”
”What are the important requests that you are running? Which fool is using you class 0 on a dangerous mission like this?”
“To put it simply this request requires us to check on that spider monster, that's all, we were not ordered to kill him”
Kou answered Zonya's question in a relaxed tone.
Zonya who heard Kou's casual tone could only sigh shortly.
“What can I do, let's cooperate, but I warn you if I can't guarantee your security at all if something bad happens”
“No problem, don't worry about us”
And so Junta, Kou and Zonya walked through the forest following that threatening aura.
The journey was silent, both Junta, Kou and Zonya were silent and focused on feeling where the threatening aura was leading them, after walking for quite a while, Zonya finally opened her voice to break the silence.
“Do you know what monster you are looking for?”
Zonya said that without turning her head back to look at Junta and Kou.
Kou replied in a confused tone.
“Monster we killed in Sorz forest, that's what we're now looking for”
“What? Then why are we here?”
Junta asked in a confused and surprised tone.
“Because the Association received information that there was a movement of the monster here, after all I was more worried about 10 Fingers than the monster itself”
“Leader The Fingers, last time when we found the spider monster there was indeed someone who looked like one of the leaders of The Fingers, he said, but are you sure that he is one of the 10 Finger Zonya?”
Junta asked in a serious tone.
“You can say that I'm pretty sure of that”
“It's troublesome Brother, if we meet that person again”
Kou said in a very serious tone.
Of course Junta knew what his sister meant, the last time they met that person, Junta had to be forced to allow Kou to use his Full Potential in order to kill that person.
But in fact, what the Junta and Kou fought against was a shadow, or rather the possibility of a shadow, the Junta still did not get a definitive answer as to whether that person was, the one who can avoid the True Slash launched by Kou, is really a person or not.
But there was one thing that Junta knew, whoever he was fighting, he had a magic ability that Junta could not cope with his current condition without Full Potential, he said, Junta still remembers the magic his enemies used to disrupt Zonya's teleportation magic, and the Junta estimates that magic is top-tier magic that Junta and Kou cannot overcome without activating Full Potential.
Top-tier magic certainly required a comparable ability to use it, which was why the Junta of that time allowed Kou to activate his Full Potential, which was his, because with the presence of top-tier magic it is enough to prove the ability of his opponent.
And if the Junta meets the opponent again, no matter what he will do, indeed the Junta has some kind of drug-like item that he bought when he was about to leave for Polski village, the drug could add Mana and add Mana regeneration as well, but since the Junta had never tried the drug before, then the Junta did not want to take the risk and started thinking about other measures.
As Junta was thinking, suddenly Zonya signaled her hand to stop walking.
Junta and Kou who understood what Zonya meant started hiding behind a sizable tree.
In front of them, there was a huge spider, even bigger than the spider that Junta and Kou killed on the riverbank close to the Sorz forest.
“I think it's profit-labanya”
His Zonya said that while reaching into his robe looking for something.
“The spider was bigger than the one we killed yesterday”
“I agree with Big Brother, than that, what does that monster do?”
“He looks like he's wrapping something in his spider web.. What do you think Zonya is?”
“I don't know, where I put it..”.
His zone continued to reach into his robe like he was looking for something, on the other hand, Junta hinted Kou to take out the crystal that Queen Rana had given him.
Kou understood his brother's intentions and began to channel Mana into the crystal he held in his right hand.
After a while, the crystal gave off a very bright light that made Junta, Kou and Zonya have to close their eyes, the light kept getting brighter and suddenly, there were sounds of shards.
It turned out that the one that broke was the Kou crystal that he was holding, the crystal that had been held by Kou now became small fragments and this made Kou panic a little.
“Uh... Do I use too much Mana?”
On the other hand the monster let out a very loud and loud screeching sound, making their ears hurt even though it was closed, it seemed like the monster did not like the light that the crystal released just now, he said, after making that sound, the monster quickly found the position of Junta, Kou and Zonya and started chasing them.
Naturally Junta quickly ran away from the monster along with Kou and Zonya.
“What brother should we do? Is this crystal broken?”
Kou said that with a panicked tone.
“I don't know, but we'd better bring that crystal fragment back instead of throwing it away”
The junta replied with a convincing tone.
“Why do you guys look relaxed?! Behind us is a monster class 6!”
The monster turned out to be very fast, its legs moving at a speed that melted their running speed, he said, the spider moved quickly and knocking down whatever was in front of it made it seem as if it was running on the airy ground.
On the other hand, Junta, Kou and Zonya were quite troubled in escaping, as they had to avoid the trees that were in that forest.
The Zonya who ran the lead in front seemed to have managed to find what she had been looking for all this time from under her cloak, she quickly threw the item that ended up stuck to a tree, she said, after the spider had enough trees affixed by the black-coloured item, there was suddenly a considerable explosion.
Junta and Kou who were a little surprised by that great bang and vibration made them stop running and look back.
“What it was”
His zone that realized that Junta and Kou stopped running started approaching them in a hurry.
“It was my magic as well as a signal to the other 5th class if I found the monster”
After the smoke from the explosion subsided a little, it could be seen that the huge spider was unable to move due to being hit by many trees, there were also the roots of the large tree that bound its legs thus restricting its movement.
“You're holding that spider Zonya?”
“Yes, I know I can't kill him alone, so I better hold him back and wait for the others to come, but that magic won't be able to hold back that big spider for good”
His zone looked at the spider with a very watchful expression.
“Junta, Kou, I advise you to leave here while the monster is still-”
Not finished talking, the monster managed to pull its feet from the roots of the tree holding it back, the monster also managed to rise from the pressure of the trees that fell on it and started chasing them back.
The Zonya who saw this immediately ran followed by Junta and Kou.
“Sial! As expected of Class 6!”
Zonya said that in a tone filled with anger, then she reached into her robe again to look for another object.
On the other hand, Kou seemed to be thinking of something.
After Kou was sure of his decision he moved his hand in the air like he was drawing something, then suddenly appeared a large spear that pierced the spider's leg which finally made the spider unable to move.
The spider let out an extremely loud screeching sound once again that forced Junta, Kou and Zonya to cover their ears.
After the shrieking sound was over, Kou quickly picked up the small black bottle he bought at the beginning of the journey and quickly drank it.
Junta understood what Kou was thinking, so he waited for his response.
“This medicine.”
Kou looked at the little black bottle after drinking all the liquid inside.
“What do you feel Kou?”
“I feel Where I am is indeed increasing.. But in small quantities.”
“What?”
Junta said that as he snatched the small black bottle from his hand.
“The amount of Mana increased, the total regeneration of Mana also increased, but not too much.. Did I drink it the wrong way..? Might have to drink with another drink.?”
“What are you doing?! We have to keep going!”
Zonya ran towards Junta and Kou who were staying beside a tree.
“Then this medicine is useless”
Junta said that in a slightly irritated tone, Junta's annoyance could be felt by anyone because he paid the bottle for a price that was not cheap at all.
“What medicine do you mean Junta?”
Junta gave the little black bottle to Zonya.
“This medicine.. Where did you get it?”
Junta wanted to answer, but the spider monster had already managed to break the ice that pierced his leg so that the monster could move again, unique to the faster movement even though his leg was badly injured by the stab.
Knowing the monster was able to move again, Junta, Kou and Zonya continued their run.
“Junta, do you still have this medicine again?”
“Of course I have, why?”
“Good, give it to ku”
Junta sped up his footsteps so he could catch up with Zonya who was in front, after receiving the black bottle from Junta, Zonya drank it and quickly threw something she held in her right hand.
After something thrown was stuck to a tree, Zonya suddenly stopped running.
Naturally Junta and Kou were surprised by this.
“What are you doing?! You told us to run now you stop?!”
After the Junta shouted, the Junta realized that there was a movement of roots from the big trees accompanied by the ground shaking quite violently, the vibration of the land made the monster pause to maintain balance.
Not long after the roots of the tree enveloped his Zonya like a protective suit, after Zonya had been fully wrapped by the roots like he was wearing protective clothing, he said, the plant armor he wore grew bigger and taller, making his Zonya grow taller and bigger so that his Zonya's size and height were now almost on par with that monster.
After the earth tremor was over, Zonya ran with the giant armor she was wearing and struck the huge spider with a crushing blow.
“Junta! Kou! Get out of this forest! I will hold this monster until another 5th class arrives!”
After saying that Zonya threw another hard punch at the huge spider, the huge spider that received 2x the blow from her Zonya looked a little dazed.
“Do we have to run Big Brother?”
Kou asked with a breath of breath.
Junta thought for a moment, they could actually help Zonya to kill the spider monster, but suddenly Junta remembered the order of Queen Rana to as much as possible not to kill the monster.
“Zonya! Don't kill the monster! That monster could have been dangerous if it was killed!”
“Do you think I can kill a class 6 monster by myself?!”
Zonya said that while resisting the attack launched by the spider monster.
“After all the final decision whether this monster will be killed or not all depends on the situation, all I can do now is hold this monster until another 5th class comes”
Zonya said that while resisting the attack that the monster had launched.
“Quick go! Don't worry about me! Another Class 5 will be here soon!”
After saying that, Zonya kicked the spider with a powerful enough kick.
Junta seemed to think, what Zonya said had a point, Zonya was class 5, she could take care of herself, she was the strongest in the Association, she was the strongest, after all, his 5th class friends will soon arrive to help him, and most importantly, Junta's mission is not to kill the monster, someone who has a mission to take care of the monster is the Association, and most importantly, Junta's mission is not to kill the monster, it's not Junta or Kou.
“Take care of yourself!”
After saying that, Junta and Kou ran away from the fighting arena, they chose to hand this thing over to Zonya and the other 5th class.
