The Journey of Eternity

Trace 59 - Final Test.

Arlo stood limped by holding his bloodied right arm, with Eri beside him. Slowly, the injuries on their bodies both began to recover until they were completely fine. Stare sharply at the lushness of the plants and roots of the vines, thinking of ways to get rid of them.

Until the right moment, Arlo darted as fast as he could towards her with the scythe and fire cores already in his grasp. He slashed and burned everything he passed to the end of the road. Just as his hand was about to touch the jewel, a number of plants held back his arm and nearly swallowed his body in.

Arlo had not yet jumped away, the jewel shone back and then blinked slowly. The longer the light gets brighter, followed a moment later is a bigger explosion than before. Because of this, the gems are getting buried in the ground and getting closed. He crashed far away and hit a tree in the forest, until the tree fell on him.

“When it continues like this, the gem will be further immersed in the ground.” Eri gazes sharply towards the cliff.

“I-It's my important task, as long as I'm not dead.

Arlo raised slowly his trembling body due to the severe injuries that had already filled his body. His limped steps, slowly began to straighten back up along with the wound that was slowly recovering. He ran as fast as he could towards the jewel before it was completely covered by vines.

Until his body was completely blown into the scope of the gem, his body began to be enveloped. At the same time, his fingers managed to grab and touch him, and at that very instant, his fingers and hands disappeared instantly as if swallowed by the jewel. In the tailings from behind, this time the plant completely engulfed its entire body until it completely disappeared.

“Arlo..!”

...(----------------)...

On the edge of such a dense forest, the six orrangs ran as fast as they could towards the north with the six weapons in each hand, opening a path blocked by the huge roots in the middle of the road. A moment later, the ground shook violently in the aftermath of the dusty explosion that was billowing down on the northern tip.

“What is Mr Arlo!”

“Definitely! We're close.”

Step by step until the six of them managed to stare at where Eri who was slashing the lush plants with a burning pednag was burning violently. With a look of hate and resentment, he slashed and blindly until there was no time for the plant to attack or even to recover.

“Fucking plant!”

The same explosion occurred right from within that golden sword, instantly destroying whatever was in its path. Inside there, a man was struggling to grab a red gem that was set right in front of his fingers. But because his body was wrapped around it, he was unable to touch it.

“Nona!” someone shouted from a distance.

“What!!” Eri turned his head with a terrible look, while continuing to throw his sword.

“Call Miss, Mr. Arlo will definitely be fine..”.

“I know! Therefore... I will open a way for her to come out!”

One huge blow blew up the hole that swallowed Arlo's body and everything came into sight. Arlo floated in the air along with the red jewel that was right in front of him. The scythe that suddenly appeared just like that in front of him, was kicked with his left leg. Darted and struck the jewel until it fell out.

“Can!”

Water overflowed from under Arlo's body and became his foothold to dart towards the jewel. The finger of his left hand that had managed to touch right on the surface of the huge jewel, disappeared instantly without leaving a trace, as if sucked. Recalling the previous problem, Arlo swallowed the jewel with his water magic, forming a ball that completely managed to swallow the jewel.

“Hah!” Arlo flinched as the gem just slipped off and fell.

A group of people memorized it with irregular breaths, they stared intently at Arlo with amazed gazes. While Arlo grimaced in pain with bruises and minor injuries that filled his body.

“What's this as bad as? Prince Verles..” Arlo glanced at a man standing not far from him, with a faint smile.

“Yah..”

“You can indeed be expected, yes.”.

As long as they spoke, the gems were swallowed back into the ground with the same plants until they were completely invisible. Therefore Arlo immediately breathed and put on a lazy face.

“Returned like this.. I really feel bored once..”.

“Arlo..!”

“You are really...! just make people worry...”.

Eri hits Arlo and hugs him tightly, forcing him to let go of his painful arm.

“Be careful... I will be careful, so please let go Miss. Arkh...!” Arlo groaned even more as his embrace grew tighter.

Until finally Eri released his embrace and retreated slowly with his face very red extinguished.

“Aa... Miss Eri? Are you okay?” chirps Ferdi slightly held back a laugh.

“Stop bothering women!” Calissto.

“Good... Break it up here first, we settle this important one...so, what are your plans, Young Man?” Verles turned to look at Arlo who was holding a scythe firmly in his hand.

“We enjoy this... senior Raizel...” said Arlo, glancing at the man in a white robe and a big sword on his shoulder.

The two of them opened a wide road. With his greatsword, Verles slashed through the ice through his sword until everything froze instantly. While Arlo dijalannya, removing the burning fire with a scythe in his left hand and the Core of fire that floated beside him.

Although the combination did not match, the two of them managed to open a path so wide that no one could now stop them both. A huge blow shot out very quickly, smashing the target of the point where the jewel was located to make a huge hole that cut through.

The jewel was again thrown in the air, the scythe struck from below and struck it increasingly into the air.

“Now how!” verles shouted from behind Arlo.

“How about with cold ice?”

Verles threw his sword towards his jewel and instantly upon direct contact, the two of them instantly sank into the completely white ice until something inside was nowhere to be seen. For a moment the jewel floated in the air frozen with the Verles sword that managed to stick in it.

“Does this work...?”

Just like Arlo did before, the ice magic from Verles did not affect him in the least, the jewel fell back to the ground and was swallowed in it.

“Now what?” Verles turned his head towards Arlo who was suddenly staring intently towards the front.

“It...” he pointed at someone from behind a tree.

“No-Miss Leira!”

Samar a woman was standing right under the forest tree with a portion of her body somewhat hidden, staring blankly at the two of them. Verles flinched, his two eyes wide open with the one he saw at the moment.

“Nona... are you still alive..?” verles said in a desperate tone.

Trudgingly, he walked slowly closer to the woman. Until he stood right in front of her, he tried to reach for a body that only looked vague. He managed to grab the woman's shoulder and touch her for a moment, then his hand went through as if there was no one behind it.

“Lho…! No-Miss? Are you...?”

“You're back? Mr. Verles..” said the woman with an unchanging look on her face.

...(----------------)...

Amidst the complicated fight, suddenly something happened between Arlo and Verles on the front line. Apparitions from a distance, Verles limped towards the figure hidden from behind the tree. The five people behind him immediately memorized Arlo and asked what really happened.

Until they both can see for themselves the truth. Under the tree, Verles groaned into pain with his stomach already hollowed full of blood. While beside him, was the same female figure with her hands covered in blood. Slowly, the woman walked to the spot where the jewel was and dripped blood on the hand, on the plant that covered the gem.

Instantly, his gems instantly came out and pierced through whatever was before him. It floated in the air and stopped right in his hand, until he brought it back to Verles. He pointed it right in front of the face of the man who was holding a wound on his stomach.

“You have to pay for it...”
