The Butterfly Trap

The Part 25

I opened my eyes because I felt nothing as the tail of the monster hit me, I could see it bounce off, aware of that condition I opened my eyes and got up, look around at what has happened.

‘ What happened? Did the Prophet save me?’

I turned to the Prophet who was still fighting fiercely against the other monster, Stella was also still cowering in pain so there was no way she could have done it, the monster that had been bouncing back rose to attack me but this time I could see the light coming out of my necklace, it formed a shield that repelled every attack from the monster.

Not long after, the Prophet bounced near me, his body drenched in blood, he groaned in pain holding his leg.

“ Oh no, the Prophet has also fallen”, I muttered then I turned towards Stella.

“ Stel, can you stand?” ask him.

She shook her head.

“ How is this? why did the twelfth zodiac knight come so long?” I bit my lips, anxious about the situation I was in.

“ Si, help the Prophet first, it seems that your necklace can protect us while the time”, Stella said in a soft voice that was almost inaudible.

I nodded and immediately moved closer to the Prophet before the two Monsters attacked us, we gathered at one point while the attacks of the two monsters hit the shield protecting me.

“ Oh no, another monster emerged from the portal” said the Prophet tried to get up but unfortunately it seems his leg was broken due to a monster attack just now.

“ If you continue this way, your shield will not be able to withstand their attacks, have you contacted the twelve Si zodiac?” the Prophet asked with a groan of pain.

“ Already, but I don't know why they haven't appeared” yet.

I anxiously rolled my eyes all over, hoping for help to come soon, while the portal returned to bring out the monsters I did not recognize at all, the gemstone in my necklace began to crack, and I realized it was a sign that the shield protecting us would soon be destroyed.

‘ Is this the end of my life?’ I thought but suddenly a white shadow shot out in front of me, and the portal where the monster appeared was covered by a hard ice stone and all the monsters that attacked us died drenched in blood on the ground.

I was surprised to see the handsome man in white standing in front of me, he was seen to be adjusting his breath and holding his chest, after he killed all those monsters with his ice knife he turned towards us.

“ Just a moment ago I took my eyes off you, now you are in danger again!” the grunt faced me while taking a breath.

‘ How can he always show up when I almost give up? Zeju...you really are like ma..’

“ Angel”, said Stella cutting my mind.

“ And he Speak” added the Prophet as he stared in admiration at Zeju who was still holding his chest by hand.

He looked towards the portal that was already frozen by its ice power, then glanced towards the Prophet and Stella.

“ Looks like your friend's condition is very serious, he is in a condition berserk” he said staring at the Prophet from toe to head.

“ What!? “ shouted Stella then she turned to me.

“ Si, you're a purifier right? Can you purify him?”

“ Fear it will not work Stel, but I will try it” I replied then touched the hand of the Prophet who had started to feel cold but none of my strength came out and channeled to him.

I shake my head at them.

“ It's okay Si, I can still hold it kok!” the Prophet said with a clean word.

“ We cannot linger here, my strength can only hold the portal for a few minutes, so we must….Shit!!” he shouted before he could finish his words and disappeared in front of us.

Not long after the twelve zodiac knights came to coincide with the destruction of the ice covering the portal.

“ There are two injured people here!” yell one of them at the other.

Capital is struck by the emergence of a portal that has never happened, society is shrouded in fear that makes the twelve zodiac works extra hard to convince them that the current state is still fine.

I waited for about two ages in the waiting room of the hospital when the Prophet and Stella received treatment, and it seems that the twelve signs still could not seal the portal that suddenly appeared.

“ How many people have been injured?” a healer asked the officer who was there.

“ If calculated with the previous one, there are already about thirty people who were injured”, replied the officer.

“ Do you know the latest condition of the scene at this time?”

“ It seems that some of the twelve zodiac commanders have intervened, I also heard the news that at the border of the monsters have also sprung up, so that the defense section is currently being hit by anxiety, as well, not to mention the many purifiers that are still quarantined”

“ God, what really happened ?” said the healer while rubbing his head and then walking closer to the patient who came back.

The hospital situation was very busy, the healers and patients passed by in front of me who was pensive.

‘ What is this? Does this have anything to do with the case I'm investigating? Was the mastermind behind all of those events a monster? What is the goal is war with humans?’

I took my breath, if all that was true then all of this started to make sense, the killing of my family, Emperor, Grand Duke Dagaras and the extermination of the purifier with the Q garaga, all began to connect.

“ You okay Side?” said a rabbit that jumped at me that made my mind distracted.

“ Zeju, are you okay?” I asked while hugging the little body.

“ Release!” he shouted while stomping his feet in my hands.

“ Sttttt, what if anyone hears you?”

“ I told you only you can hear me!”

I looked at him then smiled, a few drops of tears flooded my cheeks, the rabbit was shocked.

“ Are you hurt? Why are you crying?” ask her with a worried tone.

“ Zeju....thank you very much, without you maybe we no longer exist in this world, I don't even know how to say thank you”

“ Ap...what are you talking about?”

“ You know, you're like my guardian angel, you always show up when I'm in danger, you always come in when I start giving up to hold on, thank you so much” I sobbed and covered my face with both my hands.

“ You... You don't need to thank me, I will definitely make you return the favor to me later!”

I smiled in the middle of my crying.

‘ Really rabbit who can't be honest’.

He put his tiny foot on my hand, but he threw away his face and just listened to all my babbling without denying or asking, he was silent but his tiny foot did not move from my hand, maybe that's how he calms me down.

A little while later the healer in charge of the Prophet came out and informed her that the condition of the girl was fine, and thank God besides his broken leg he only had minor injuries but he needed a long rest considering he was not only injured but was also in a third-stage condition.

In contrast to Stella who was still unconscious after a small operation because found some weapons such as bones that pierced her stomach, he said, according to the healer, he had passed through a critical condition and was just waiting for him to wake up and his coma, fortunately Stella did not experience berserk conditions considering the country was in a purifier crisis at this time.

I sat there sighing and thanking my heart many times, but there was one thing that stuck my mind, Zurich.

‘ Is he not in the capital? How could he not meet me when he heard the monsters attacking capital?’
