Legend of the Moon Crystal

Chapter 32 "The Wall of the Protector of the City of Neredith"

Day One, Month Four, Spring

The roar of the spinning wheel rang out along the streets of the countryside in the big city in district 7. A coachman controlled two horses that pulled one big wagon. Some people were sitting in cars carrying food. Not only one car, but several cars that lined up behind it with basic needs in it.

"How's the order?"

The man who stopped the train from slowing down gradually pulled one person from the train down and gave a report to Cleus Natheon, one of the assistant officials of the city of Neredith.

"All the trees have been ordered sir. Rice is the most abundant commodity. While the rest is wheat, flour and some spice crates." Said a man beside her.

Cleus nodded his head. "Bring everything to the city and store everything in the city storage. Immediately after that data all traders and share their funds with the payment as usual."

"Good sir."

Amid the busy busy listing all the food commodities that enter from outside to the city, noise makes things complicated. The sounds of horse-drawn rings and the cries of people were heard as a group of people dressed in black appeared. With face masks on their faces, no one knew what kind of face was behind that plain red mask.

Cleus looked at them coldly, "Who are they?"

"Call for help while I take care of them." Cleus said making someone beside him nod his head and run away.

Cleus looked around and counted the five black-robed, red-masked people who were messing with their carriage. These foodstuffs were simply spoiled, making Cleus inflamed. Angrily a purplish light appeared in both of his hands. On a clear day, the sound of lightning roared and the flickering broken light gathered in his hands.

"The lightning explosion." He muttered in a cold tone.

The lightning quickly struck towards a black-robed man. But the protective light resisted the attack and split apart without harming the man in the slightest. Again and again, he tried to use the same attack.

When a spear of the water element attacked him from above, he dodged it quickly and let the spear plunge deep in the ground and melt later. His purple bead lifted and found a pair of blue beads that looked sharply at and humbled him.

"Peag of lightning." Mumbled.

The cluster of lightning that struck in his hand formed a huge dragon that flickered sharply and had a sharp current. The dragon very quickly swerved in the air and darted towards someone who immediately dodged. But because it was too fast, the dragon turned around and only hit the right foot of a cloaked man. Screaming, one's feet were numb and could not be moved.

Two people with plant elements attacked Cleus. Eliciting a thorny plant that urged him continuously until slightly away from the man who was hit by the attack on his leg.

"Who are you?!" Ask in a loud voice.

They did not even answer and continued to throw attacks. The constantly desperate Cleus lost the calmness of his breath. His breathing faltered with the wounds he had gotten from the attack of the plant.

Who're they?!

...***...

"Cantik~"

The tense atmosphere was split apart when it heard the humming sound of a small child. Turning his head, Cleus found a girl sitting on the roof of a horse-less carriage dressed in white and transparent flower clothes. Her long blonde mane moved as it tilted her head right and left repeatedly.

Iloania catches a butterfly that lands on her fingertips. He looked at her up close and could not help but smile as beautiful as spring. Stunned for a moment, Cleus immediately became wary. For he was not even aware of the whereabouts of Iloania there, had he not hummed.

"Are you a member of them?" Ask about Iloania.

Iloania glanced at Cleus. Pushing his hand vertically up and letting the butterfly fly away. With a smile, Iloania turned to look at Cleus.

"What member?" He asked with a voice as smooth as the flow of calm mountain water.

Iloania looked at the group of people in black robes and smiled. "Are they cool?"

A purplish light flashed in Cleus' hand. Feeling sure if the little girl in front of him is their member. But before launching his attack, Iloania spoke in a calm tone.

"I just kept quiet. If anyone attacks me, he's the bad one." Iloania said slowly.

Hearing that Cleus was stunned and subconsciously dispelled the magic in his hand. Cleus was startled when from underground the plant appeared and attacked Iloania. Before Cleus could react, his movements came to a halt when he saw the plant stop and could not penetrate anything that protected the girl's body.

A faint golden-colored barrier.

Iloania tilted her head with a smile on her lips, but without a smile in her eyes. "Take the bad ones."

"You're a witch?" Ask Cleus.

Iloania chuckled small, "It seems so. Or what to call it?"

When a water spear shot towards him, Iloania leapt up high avoiding him and landed gently on the ground. His golden bead looked at them and with a faint smile on its face, Iloania ran over giving them punches and kicks. Didn't give any of them a loophole using magic.

"I didn't want to use magic at first. But you attacked me. Did I look like an enemy from the start? Though I said you guys look cool~" asked Iloania in a sad tone.

He furrowed his brows and muttered in the middle of that five-on-one fight. "Then now I'm your enemy out of annoyance, hmph!"

Iloania's last kick made the mask of one of them come off. A pair of beads that were partially covered by strands of black hair was visible. A small part of that face made Iloania stop moving when she saw a pair of eyes filled with hatred visible there.

"Hm?" Mumbled.

"We're backing down." The interrupting sound made the five of them immediately disappear on the spot when help came and was seen from afar.

"Why not go after them?" Ask someone who happened to arrive early and see the five of them retreat.

Cleus stood up and stared flatly at the departure of the group. "Forget it."

His purple bead found the figure of Iloania standing behind him. "Who are you? And why help me?"

"I'm not helping you. It was because I was upset when they attacked me first. By the way my name is Iloania Rexelite. This where?"

That bright smile made Cleus and the people there slightly stunned. I wonder who that little girl is.

...***...

"Have you got the magic beast you wanted?"

The lady in blue and well-mannered manner asked in a friendly manner. Jissiana and Lane looked at their magical beasts. And Jissiana couldn't help but smile when a tree cat with green fur and a pair of leaf ears.

Jissiana nodded her head. "It's Miss Bell. Thank you for accompanying us in looking for magical beasts here."

Lane looked at the woman named Bellestine and threw away her face. Prefer to see the wolf that follows behind him. Lane's wolves have red hair and yellow eyes. It was a fire wolf with a level 6.

Bellestine nodded her head. "Either. You're from Dragonia Academy and of course you're allowed to enter here."

"This protective wall, did this city's magician make it?"

Kane approached Bellestine and asked about a giant barrier protecting the entire mountain area. He could not help but be amazed to see the faint barrier scenery sparkling when exposed to sunlight.

Bellestine shook her head and looked up. "Someone who's not from this town made it. He protected this city from the attacks of evil demons who were trying to affect magical beasts. Here too, that man saved us."

"Who is that guy?" Ask Kane curious.

Bellestine did not reply, but only let out a faint smile.

"Ah, by the way why is Iloania not coming? This place is very good. She must have liked it," Jissiana said, leaving Bellestine stunned.

"Illoia?" Mumbled faintly.
