Spelling Distance And Limitations

Episode 22 Trapped in Shadow A

“We've been waiting for you,” Uncle Tiger said.

“Thank you, Uncle Tiger and friends are willing to accompany my trip. I'm moved,” Felicia said.

“No problem, I will slash all the necks of demons that interfere with our journey,” Kagaya said.

“Thank you, Brother Kagaya,”

“We'll help you, Felicia,” Will said.

Everyone gather for a moment. Five white knights prepared to accompany Felicia and Ares' journey. The supplies and everything were prepared. It took them only two days to complete the journey in the wilderness of Deolinicia with this thorough preparation.

Especially with him the white knight who will move this journey. The wild beast and the wild monster Deolinicia were nothing. The strength of the white knight was enough to face all the dangers that would come later.

Nero looked at Felicia with his cute grin.

“Kak Nero, I miss you. Everything you give and teach is so helpful during the journey to the Zelinekia Labyrinth. Thank you,” Felicia said as she jumped to hug Nero.

There is a longing scattered in Felicia's heart that paid off by hugging Nero. Nero is like his brother.

“I, know. You're a brave child Felicia, you're capable of completing the Zelinekia Labyrinth. You're great, my potion only helps a small part of your predicament. But you are truly the extraordinary yourself. Congratulations yes, now we will take care of you on this journey,” Nero said as he stroked Felicia's head gently.

“What Queen Ajanta gave this message? You all set out to help me?” Felicia asked the white knights. Felicia looked at the five white knights in turn.

Felicia's gaze contained a twinkle of curiosity.

For a moment they were silent. It was like there was a sad thing hidden by the white knights. Felicia frowned confusedly with their lethargic-looking faces.

“What's up? Why did you become moody when I asked you about the Queen? What happened?” Felicia asked the white knights.

Felicia was starting to feel uncomfortable.

Selly sighed softly. Something was clumping in his heart. And now he has to tell Felicia the truth. Selly opened her mouth.

“So, when we were driven by a strange portal who did not know who did it until we teleported to the desert. We had a fight. But Thamuz is missing. He said he would set up many traps in the Deolinikia wilderness.

So, we decided to escort you on your way safely to the Capital of Deolinicia. Queen Ajanta is now still in the desert fighting Axdiel alone. Queen Ajanta said that she was okay and we ended up here,” Obviously Selly at length.

He looks heavy-hearted. Of course the knights were worried about the Queen they left alone in the desert.

“Then we should leave immediately and slash the neck of that annoying demon,” Kagaya said in an exasperated tone.

He raised his big sword.

“Alright, we must leave immediately and complete the task. I'm sorry, if I trouble you guys,” Felicia said.

Felicia climbed onto Ares' back. They set off with Selly leading the way. While Uncle Tiger and Kagaya were at the very front of the line. Ares and Will in the middle. Nero in the back.

The journey begins with the permission of the holy power of Deolinicia that flows from the Labyrinth of Zelinekia. The breeze sends a message to Queen Ajanta that the knights have done their duty.

Thamuz

Far away among the mountains, darkness enveloped everything. The only light that existed was lava flowing in bottomless cracks. Since the beginning of the Abyss in Deolinicia, there have been many demons who have been loyal followers of the Abyss. With their strong beliefs, the demons worship the Dark One.

After guarding the Abyss for centuries, the Fire Demon tribe had finally become the ruler of the Abyss. Thamuz, the Fire Demon king along with his people made the Abyss shrouded in an unusually strong air.

Thamuz used to be a great knight with a high temperament and did not hesitate to use harsh methods to achieve his goals. With his natural strength uncharacteristic, Thamuz was eventually appointed chief of the Abyss and led his army to conquer all the underworlds.

To Thamuz, all his enemies were nothing but worthless trash and did not deserve to live in this world. In his eyes, he was the only one who deserved to lead. He could not accept Alice, as one of his relatives because she was impure. After all, Alice was not worth enough to lead and fight.

With the opening of the gates of the Abyss, the demon army eagerly awaited Thamuz's arrival. Though, if Thamuz returns, he will burn and kill all the weak demons.

According to him, only the strongest ones deserved to be a part of the Abyssal Army. Thamuz waited for the day on which he led the Abyssal Army to Deolinicia and shouted “Only the strongest deserve to rule!”

The wilderness of Deolinicia becomes its own irony for every inhabitant of this continent. The wilderness of Deolinikia stretches from West to East with the surrounding sapling forests.

Felicia fell asleep in Ares's arms. The company proceeded cautiously after entering the wilderness of Deolinicia.

The day is approaching dawn. The night beasts in the forest had already begun to prepare themselves to return to the nest. While the animals that seek life during the day instead prepare to come out.

As before when Ares entered the forest to save himself. The deeper the forest, the deeper it becomes. It was busier than the forest in the North that he had passed through with Felicia to head to the labyrinth.

The white knights were still with their lethargic faces. Ares knows it must be very hard to choose this decision. The white knights are the knights loyal to the queen. They must have wanted to fight with their queen.

Uncle Tiger and Kagaya were chatting ria. The two men seemed to be trouble free. But from the line of his face it remains visible that they harbor a sense of worry. Selly himself looked back many times. Then, respond to a small chatter from Kagaya and Max Tiger.

However, the queen's absolute orders are also important. They obeyed him and chose to escort Ares and Felicia on their way to the Capital of Deolinicia. The white knight also knew very well that Ares and Felicia needed their help.

Especially when Thamuz disappeared and said he wanted to trap the troupe that passed through the wilderness of Deolinicia. Their decision is right. Axdiel wants to fight Queen Ajanta alone. Same with the queen.

Ares himself is worried. Is Felicia's heart worried right now? There was fear creeping through the air within this forest. The dense aura of darkness made Ares know he had to be vigilant.

Ares doesn't know. Whether the decision is right or not. All he knew was that he would grant any request from Felicia.
