The Explorers of the Universe

Volcano Against Ven

Volcano aka Saga entered the palace through the balcony of his bedroom window. The Forest Guard Spirit who had turned into a flying eagle accompanied Volcano. The Spirit then perched on the balcony railing.

Volcano stepped into his room. He took off his clothes that were already smelling unpleasant by sweat. Then he went to the bathroom to clean himself up.

Volcano out of the bathroom. He wears softer clothes. He wanted to rest after going through a grueling fight.

Unwittingly, since the presence of Volcano and the Spirit, someone has been present in the room unnoticed and unseen. Someone was inside the walls of Volcano's room. His body that could adjust the atomic elements of each object easily fused within the hard palace walls. That ability has been used as a way to spy.

When Volcano had just laid down his body, a human figure inside the wall came out and appeared. The figure of the man was now standing in the room.

“What plans will you prepare, Saga?” ask the man.

Volcano. He got up and got out of his bed. “What are you doing here, Ven?” Volcano is very unhappy with the nature of this one Ven: harnessing its ability to spy and get into other people's spaces without permission.

“What's meds? Huh!” Ven folded both his hands on his chest. He stepped around the Volcano's body. His eyes were staring at Volcano.

“I heard you had a plan with Rinn. What plans are you guys planning? And, almost two months you went nowhere. Is that part of your plan?”

“You eavesdropped on my conversation with Rinn? Basic sneaky!” Volcano sharpened his eyes just like Ven did. Affirming that he was not afraid by Ven's bluff.

Ven looks more and more underestimated Volcano.

“You're the one with the rotten plan. You're sneaky! You used Ghanda for your benefit. I know you don't like being his follower. But you survived because you needed Ghanda to launch your rotten plan!” volcano said without the slightest trace of trepidation. “I go anywhere, it's none of your business. Stop taking care of other people, Ven! And another one, call me Volcano!” emphatically.

“Know what you know about me? Huh! You're just a new kid here. You were 21 when Ghanda brought you to this palace! You were only used by Ghanda. When the time comes, you will know it!” ven said no less sadistic and mocking.

Volcano held back. He does not want to be provoked by emotions Ven.

Ven took a few steps back from the Volcano side. “Look it, how about we work together. We make our own plans. Your intelligence and my strength will be the perfect blend.”

Ven is approaching again. “How?” whispers in Volcano's ear. He placed his hand on Volcano's shoulder to make it look more familiar.

“If I have a plan, I don't need you at all. How strong do you think you are for me to rely on? Our cooperation will only hurt me, because you will not be of much use,” Volcano said casually and spicyly.

Ven offended by the Volcano. “You are indeed Ghanda's favorite child, but that doesn't mean you are better than others. Don't be arrogant just yet. After Ghanda completes his mission, you will be discarded and rendered useless.” Ven doesn't want to lose arrogantly.

Volcano is not hooked at all. He laughs as naturally as possible. “Completing mission? Then dumped? Hey, hey, hey, it's your plan if I accept your offer of cooperation, right?” volcano said in a condescending tone.

Ven is not warted.

“You are indeed cunning, Ven!” Volcano. He then stepped closer to the bed to continue his rest plan. For him Ven is no longer important to serve.

Meanwhile Ven did not accept getting humiliation from Volcano who is physically younger than 7 years from him. Within the Dark Dimension, one's physique would not change since the first time he came, even though he had lived in the Dark Dimension for tens or even hundreds of years. The Dark Dimension can lock in human growth. When the Volcano brought Ghanda to the Dark Dimension about a hundred years ago, Volcano was 21 years old. To date Volcano's physical remains as a 21-year-old man, and a 28-year-old Ven.

From behind, Ven punches Volcano to the ground. Volcano who was surprised by Ven's attitude immediately got up and jumped to the opposite side of the bed. Volcano was immediately wary of Ven's actions.

A ball of Holy Fire shot out from Ven's hand towards Volcano's face. Luckily the Volcano was able to escape. The fireball hit the wall.

Ven changed the atomic elements in his body to resemble the floor and palace buildings. Ven sank into the floor as if into the water.

Volcano who realized that Ven wanted to do it increased his vigilance. He stepped towards the window cautiously. His eyes glanced at every corner in anticipation of the appearance of the unknown Ven.

Ven appeared from the direction of the entrance. He immediately threw his Holy Fire at the Volcano.

Luckily the Volcano can quickly dodge. Ven's Sacred Fire shot out the window. This time Volcano did not want to take it lightly. He prepared himself to fight.

Ven runs, jumps and pushes the Volcano until both are pushed out the window. Both fell from the Volcano room at the top.

Volcano, just below Ven, hit Ven with his fist many times. They glided from a height of several hundred meters above ground level. Ghanda Palace is located on the top of a towering hill and steep to the top.

Ven's hand grip on Volcano's shoulder was very strong. From Ven's palm, came out a fiery red flame. Volcano felt the heat burn his shoulders and neck. The heat of the Sacred Fire of Ven was so painful that Volcano's eyelids were closed to feel the pain.

Once again Volcano hit his head with Ven's head. His two hands grabbed Ven's head and he let out a volcanic fire in his hand.

Ven felt the heat but he could endure it. Seeing Ven able to withstand the volcanic fire, Volcano also issued a hotter fire with a little liquid that flowed into Ven's face.

Ven is surprised to learn Volcano is able to emit a fire liquid that is able to burn his face. Ven had trouble seeing the impact of the volcanic flames on his face. Ven released his grip on Volcano's shoulder. The fire in Ven's hand was dim.

Ven tried to clear the fire liquid on his face. He has trouble seeing and controlling himself. He also fell to the ground.

Volcano breathed a sigh of relief. He floated a few meters above Ven, which had been freed from the volcanic fire. His shoulders that had burned Ven's fire created a fine puff of smoke. Volcano body that has been fed by volcanic fire liquid has protected it from the Holy Fire is very hot and able to burn anything. Despite still feeling hot on his shoulders, Volcano still feels lucky with his new abilities.

Downstairs, Ven was already able to stand. “Wait for my revenge!” shout Ven.

Volcano refused to respond. He flew to his bedroom window. He wants to rest immediately. Actually, if he wanted to, he could bring out more and more of his volcanic fire liquid during the fight earlier. But he did not want to prolong the problem. The match earlier, for him, was enough of a lesson for Ven.

Volcano arrives at the window. The eagle the embodiment of the Forest Guard Spirit said in Volcano's ear, “Why didn't you kill him, when you were able to do it, Friend?” said.

“No need. I don't want to dirty my hands by killing a sneaky person like him,” Volcano said as he stepped towards his bed.

From the window in the other room, Rinn sat sweetly on the fence of her balcony wall. He watched the battle of Ven and Volcano as it fell from the window. Rinn further admired Volcano with his victory against Ven.

“Ghanda did not kidnap and brainwash him. He will be a true fighter,” muttered Rinn.
