Red Blood

Krairon - Erga (X)

Plaque!

Taring slapped himself trying to revive the mind that had been taken over by the beautiful figure of Ilfina. But still it doesn't help much. His eyes were still lured away unable to turn away even though he had tried hard.

Naturally, due to the excessive exertion Ilfina accidentally released the pheromone* element along with her aura. Then anyone who was exposed to the aura of Ilfina would feel a pleasant effect. In other cases, it is even able to captivate the heart of someone who makes them unable to turn away once exposed to the effects of pheromone. And it looks like Taring received the most severe side effects from the others.

[*] Pheromone \= is a type of chemical that serves to stimulate and have sexual attraction in both males and females.

Ilfina herself enjoyed the moment. The moment where the fangs of confusion tried to reject her beauty but could not even afford her cheeks were red next door.

“Stop doing that!” Said Taring annoyed.

“Do what?”

“It! Stop acting pretentious in front of me.”

“Oh ...,” Ilfina came close to Taring's face looking into his eyes directly, “does I not look beautiful?”

The deg!

The face flushes spontaneously. The blood flow was speeding very fast out of control, even a few drops of sweat had fallen. The man tried his best to keep himself from losing consciousness.

Ilfina gave a small smile looking at the strange expression belonging to Taring.

Well I guess that's enough. Her thought.

The girl spread her hands into the air. The entire yellow aura scattered there was absorbed into Ilfina's body through her forehead. Once everything had entered, slowly those present there became themselves again. The effect of Ilfina pheromone is gone, this makes Taring able to think clearly again. For a moment, she was cursed by a cruel witch.

Taring and Miria sat on the ground limply exhausted. All of Krairon and Erga then applauded triumphantly to Ilfina for the services she had done. Successfully making a mini sun is a job that no one has ever thought of before and it can be done by humans. In their minds only gods could perform such miracles.

Shortly afterwards Ilfina also sat down near Taring and Miria. It turns out he's also running out of energy. The cheering crowd did not care about the three of them who were now exhausted. They are still busy enjoying the independence that they have long imagined.

Taring then approached Miria whispering, “sorry Princess, may I have a meal? I'm starving.”

“Oh,” Miria chuckles, “just relax, it's all taken care of.”

After cheering, they flocked to the palace of King Atalus in the heart of the forest to celebrate the victory. In order to enter the forest, the Krairons had to wear thicker clothes because the air in the forest was so rich in oxygen and they could not breathe it directly.

Arriving at the palace, Taring, Ilfina, and Rhino were amazed to see the grandeur of a super large building. It may be twice the size of a football field. The palace is full of multi-storey buildings and the roof tapers upwards in bright green.

Entering the palace they were all greeted with great joy like kings. A red carpet in the thump with flower petals splashing in the air. Trumpets and other musical instruments sound great welcoming the arrival of their heroes. Surprisingly all that was present within the palace were plants, some lotus flowers standing lined up next to the red carpet like a beautiful hedgerow. Banana trees become musical instrument players in the corner of the room.

King Atalus led the way to the palace's dining hall. The big banyan tree did not even touch its throne at all once it returned to the center of the kingdom.

“Come my country's Heroes, please enjoy as you like.”

Entering the dining room which is also very large, on a long table has provided a lot of food from end to end. Fleshy foods, salads, until drinks are available with very large portions. Fingers gaped in disbelief to see this much food. Whereas before they only ate bread in a narrow and dark cave, now they can eat luxury as much as possible.

Chicken thighs stuck to the mouth while Taring eyes glanced back looking at King Atalus with shame, “don't worry about Taring. Please enjoy it. This meal is indeed we provide for you.”

For a king, Atalus was more flexible. It lessened the awkwardness of the audience there. All Krairon who had lived hungry in the cave also participated in the gathering of food. Except for the Ergas, they only drank some water on the table without touching the food in the slightest.

Remember the Erga are trees, they do not need animal protein for their food. Since there is already an artificial sun that helps with photosynthesis, all the food they need is already available from nature itself, they just need to drink it.

How great are the services of Ilfina, Taring and Rhino to these two nations.

Ilfina politely as a queen took a cup of tea. He drinks politely and is nice to see. While Taring is like a possessed person, his face is full of sauces and creams due to food that he put into the mouth no longer fit.

“Oh so good ...,” Taring sigh.

“Three of you including Rhino have been very meritorious to my country. Especially you want Ilfina, your use of magic is amazing. It must take more than a hundred years of experience to master magic like that, right?” King Atalus praised Ilfina.

“A hundred twenty-eight years more precisely.”

“Huh!” Fingers were startled, his mouth spurting with the chicken thighs still attached to his lips.

Ilfina pulled the chicken thigh, “do not talk while eating!”

“Wait a minute, you're over a hundred years old? Didn't you say eighteen?”

“Since when did I say that? You're the one who guessed.”

“Yeah god, with such a cute face of youth who wouldn't get me wrong? Turns out you're already a granny apparently.”

“Oh, that ten-year-old boy told me.”

The words of Ilfina. Taring could not say anything more while King Atalus just smiled at the behavior of the two of them. Taring mouth tapered great. Miria patted him on the shoulder as if telling Taring to be patient. But the man's patience is heating up.

Oh yes, there is a person from the Lilua nation who from earlier his existence was barely realized. He was at the end of the table facing Taring. The body is rather short for the table, so it should sit on an extra chair. He was sipping meat soup with an expressionless silent face. It was in complete contrast to the people beside him who were filled with excitement. Even the Rhino who was across the table was savoringly enjoying his salad.

“You are a woman of the Lilua nation, are you in trouble? From earlier I saw the frown?” Said Taring.

The little lady then put the spoon into the soup. Get off the chair and come toward Ilfina.

“What's up?” Answer the veiled girl.

Unexpectedly the woman from the Lilua nation prostrated while crying bitterly. Everyone present there was distracted and wondered what was happening.

With tears in her eyes and face touching the floor she finally said, “To-please help save my people!”
