The Guardian: The Elementalist

Massacres

"Isn't this too cruel? Why did they tell you to go to a place so far away? your destination is almost twenty kilometers loh!" geni.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, what are twenty kilometers?" ask Gord. "Take it three thousand feet long" replied Alesse.

"Hmm? Three thousand feet? so long! I didn't know that the distance from place to place could be calculated that way, usually we use the time to explain it, like a half-day trip and so on" Gord said.

"Yeah, if you walk. twenty kilometers is the same as a quarter of a day" said Geni. "Who? From where is it far away? The quarter-day trip was very close!" said Gord.

"If compared to them...further the destination of Alesse! They were only about two to five kilometers away from the ruins! Yeah, even so Alesse can go there with a short time," Geni said.

"Easy! I walk, but why are you guys so noisy?" Alesse was getting annoyed at the noise in his head.

He took the stick on his back and turned it into Levy.

"Isn't it very ineffective? You have to change your wand at all times, I think it's very troublesome" Geni said.

"I also think so, the longer it feels to be lazy" said Alesse. "What are you guys talking about? I don't understand" said Gord.

"Technology-blind men are silent" said Alesse. "Good friend, let me explain everything. It's best not to disturb Alesse," Geni said.

After entering Levy, Alesse drove him to his destination, he got down from Levy and hid in the bushes, and Levy turned into a stick again.

"Look, it's a waste of time, you have to change it every time you need it. You also need that stick as your weapon, right?" ask Geni.

"Hm! Damn right! It's a hassle, I better make Levy separately, maybe I won't use this stick anymore" Alesse said.

As he was busy conversing with Gord and Geni, suddenly a rumbling sound emerged from the sky, followed by a puff of black smoke.

Alesse checked what was going on in the army tents. People were running with panicked faces.

"What's going on? Why are they running?" ask Alesse astonishment. "The black smoke seems to be burning there! He must be a high-level firebender!" geni said, he even looked pale-faced.

"What is that terrible thing?" ask Alesse. "Look! The smoke was like a former volcanic eruption!" geni.

Out of curiosity, Alesse finally tried to check around the army headquarters using binoculars he made with his cane.

After looking through every corner of the region, he finally found a burly man figure floating in the air.

"Who is that? His body was almost the same as Gord's, but bigger!" alesse said, he watched the figure of the burly man attacking the troops in a row.

"That's not the firebender, Geni! That's the electric controller!" alesse said, he could see how the man had harnessed the lightning bolts that were in the cloudy sky to channel him towards the troops mercilessly.

"It's cruel! They were attacked without a fight! They're really not picking!" geni said, his face looked pale to see people one by one burned.

Alesse could smell the roasted meat from a distance. At that moment he felt his chest tight.

"What's this about? Why is my heart beating so hard?" Alesse. "Maybe because they saw their tragic fate" said Geni.

"It seems right, it's a massacre! This was different from a war that involved many people to put up a fight! That guy's.... He deliberately attacked in the afternoon when people were already getting tired and stopped doing activities!" Alesse's face began to pale.

He felt a bad feeling from the burly man. "Well, it looks like we could die in just one strike" Gord said. "We'd better get out of here, Alesse!" geni.

Alesse tried to sneak out of the bushes. Unfortunately he stumbled over a twig and made the sound of a broken twig. His face was getting sweaty while the man floating in the air looked straight at the source of the sound.

Alesse was able to see the man's face after a flash of lightning made the sky instantly bright.

"That guy..... Just Stephen? What's he doing here?" Alesse. "Who is Stephen?" ask Geni.

"Wait first! Just Stephen? Isn't that the Dark Warden?" ask Gord. "That's right! I never thought I'd meet her here!" Alesse.

After she moved from her fallen position, Alesse was completely shocked that Ray had found her, currently looking at her suspiciously.

"What's wrong with me? Why is my body shaking?" alesse did not understand. "You experienced it too? I thought I was the only one trembling" Geni said.

Ray grew increasingly suspicious of Alesse's constantly distracted gaze. "Why is a child like you here? Are you a Warden follower, too?" ray asked, a flash of electricity appeared on his right fist. That made Alesse instantly fall in fear.

"Mom...no! I'm not a Warden!" Alesse. "Then what? Why are you even here? You look fine. Definitely not their prisoner. The only thing that makes sense is that you're a Warden follower" Ray said.

"Hey! Wait up! Let me explain what I mean by coming here! I'm not a Warden!" said Alesse with a high tone, he was immediately upset because Ray origin accused.

"Hey, what are you doing, Alesse? You're gonna ignite his anger? We're finished!" geni.

The electric glint in Ray's right hand grew larger. "It looks like it's no longer helped" said Gord.

"It's annoying! That stupid guy can't be talked to!" alesse said annoyed, he immediately grasped his staff firmly.

Before the man finally let go of his fist covered in electric flashes, Alesse instantly turned his wand into an ice bow and aimed at Ray's right arm.

When the ice arrow stuck in Ray's arm, he immediately ran with his shoe.

"Well! It's so great that the shoes can create an ice field" said Geni. "This is not the time to be amazed! Watch Ray's whereabouts so I can turn this stick into Levy.

"I think impossible! You're still in his range, once you stop you're going to get hit by his lightning strike" Geni said.

Finally Alesse continued to pedal his hockey shoes to slide faster. "Why don't you use roller skates? Isn't that easier than hockey?" ask Geni.

"The ground here does not support to wear roller skates! While hockey shoes only require ice fields in order to slide, this is more effective, so at the same time this shoe also makes ice lanes so that it can be passed easily," said Alesse.

Even though he had run as hard as he could, Ray could still catch up to him. "Duh! How's this? I'm getting tired!" Alesse. He continued running with intermittent breathing.

"My heart feels like it's going to explode!" he said as he continued to run into fatigue, he occasionally closed his eyes so that he could run as hard as he could. It was then that he slipped as the ice field generated by his shoe crept into the stream, creating a sloping field that sent him thrown into the air.

"Damn it! I instead made my body an easy target for him," said Alesse annoyed, at this time his body was being thrown in the air while Ray had already shot a flash of lightning towards him.

"Arts? The gord? Where are you guys?" alesse asked astonished he did not find them both in the moments before being struck by the lightning flash.

"Oh, so is that it? You will disappear at the same time as my death? How sad! I wouldn't be able to live again if struck by lightning, unlike when frozen in ice" Alesse closed his eyes. He hoped that being struck by lightning would not hurt.

"Don't give up!" one of the men shouted, Alesse opened his eyes in surprise. It was then that he found the world he was in so slow that even now he was still floating in the air while the lightning flash continued to propagate towards him even though it was not too fast.

At this time his body position was being reversed, he found Baraq in front of him. "Don't give up, Alesse! You can turn things around!" Baraq.

"That's impossible, even when the world suddenly became this slow, there was nothing I could do anymore, nor could I move as fast as the flash of lightning chasing me," alesse pasrah.

"You don't have to move fast, you just have to face it with confidence! Let me guide you," said Baraq, holding Alesse's right arm, holding an ice bow.

Just then also the ice bow in his hand turned into a double-edged sword with a sword eye that was zigzag-shaped like a lightning emblem.

"Ma... What do you want with this thing?" ask Alesse. "Trust me! Breathe slowly, let your body follow my will," said Baraq, swinging Alesse's right arm and pointing it at the lightning flash.

Instantly the lightning instantly turned towards the sword that Alesse was holding. A great vibe made Alesse surprised instead of playing.

"Don't take off that sword! You have to make it turn around!" Baraq. Alesse tried to use both of his hands to twist the direction of the sword.

The remaining flashes of lightning caused some parts of his clothes to burn. Finally Alesse managed to swing his sword.

Instantly the lightning flash that was at the end of the right sword eye crept into the left sword eye.

"It's time to strike back!" exclaim Baraq while pushing Alesse's arm. Instantly the sword eyes were pointed at Ray, making a flash of lightning that should have struck him back to his master.

"This is your chance to leave!" Baraq. Finally Alesse immediately changed the sword in his hand to Levy, he went straight inside and made him go as far as possible from Ray.
