"I'll keep an eye on you, and what should I do to you?" said Clara disappeared her shield and looked at the rare animal in front of her seriously.
Slowly Clara approached the Lion Devil who was really in a dying state, usually this rare animal will be with herd but why can only himself even more be a victim of worship. There must be witches preparing for the white lunar eclipse later, but who are witches strong enough to know how to cultivate the worship with the blood of the Lion Devil.
His one right hand tried to flow his light element which could provide healing even if it was only a little, because basically his light element only worked on holy sword weapons. Seeing the Lion Devil starting to open his eyes wider, Clara further channeled her light element so that the rare animal could at least return to its herd.
"Go back to your family, I know with your blood that my portal can take you to the right destination. Come in and take good care of yourself, sorry I can't deliver you." said Clara opened a portal with a few drops of fresh Lion Devil blood.
Wuuush...
"I'd better circulate wherever I am, at least I know exactly where the flower is. " muttered Clara after closing the portal.
By circulating her mana, Clara used her inner eyes to look at every inch of the Vexia mountain. Cliffs, valleys and climbs are quite steep with various types of trees, various types of ordinary and rare animals are seen with several groups of hunters who are at some point, until reaching the top of the mountain of Vexia.
A roomy place with soft green grass, the sound of water gurgling sounded from the top of the mountain. Seemed very quiet but felt tight, his vision seemed to meet the sight of others.
"Hopefully I'm not wrong, why are there eyes inside this mountain? Isn't this neutral territory, then who's the eye? " the murmured Clara looked up at the sky as if looking for an answer from nature.
Wuuush....
With her portal, Clara had turned to the top of the mountain to climb the soft grass that felt very obedient. Every time the footing was lifted, the grass would again stand up straight as if no one had ever stepped on it, Clara could feel the eyes watching her every crack.
*Leave it, I just want to take the flower and treat Starla immediately. I guess this aura just wants to know my intention.* Inner Clara by continuing her footsteps.
Tests... Tests.. Tests...
The sound of water was increasingly heard but not so swift as if the origin of the water was not from the waterfall, his steps stopped right on two trees that seemed to merge with the interlocked branches above. Clara's hand stretched out to touch the tree which she found quite strange and interesting, but not yet her hand touched, the ground was already shaking as if an earthquake struck making Clara stomp her one foot to stop the tremors.
The ground stopped trembling alternately with a rain of arrows crashing at Clara from behind, making Clara take out her sword to fend off any approaching arrows. The arrows kept coming made Clara use her fire element to burn down the rain of arrows that made her lose time even for a moment.
"OUT! " clara cried with a sword that stuck on the grass.
The vortex of wind seemed so great it began to approach Clara with rolling snow, getting closer and closer to the speed of the storm. But Clara's face still remained calm with a meaningful smile, the last second the blizzard touched Clara swallowed her and made the figure that did all of that emerge from behind her hideout.
"I guess that girl is a masterful one, apparently just a snot girl! But also quite, unfortunately it has flown to where. Hehehe." said the figure by holding his stomach for holding back his laughter so as not to overdo it.
"Based coward! I'm right behind you!" clara exclaimed and wiped her hands on her chest.
"HUH! You survived, how could you?! I must be a hallucination, well definitely." muttered the figure rubbed his eyes several times but clearly the girl in front of him was still standing with both feet.
"Kc.. Ck.. Ck.. Like your Knight's soul has been wiped out, old man!" clara said casually.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!" shouted the figure with his red face.
"OLD MAN! " clara replied in a deliberately louder voice.
"Basic boy! It's so brazen with an older person." scowled the figure by throwing a dagger at his arm.
Calmly Clara dodged as if it wasn't a difficult thing, looking once this old man in front of her was like a wanderer. Her clothes were far from decent, but one symbol was seen in between her torn clothes, a symbol that Clara was quite familiar with as a Queen of the Sky Kingdom. With her air element, Clara sped up her movements until within seconds of standing right in front of the old man and took the symbol that was on her chest, moving back to the starting place away from the old man.
"Go, or should I throw this away? " clara said showing the symbol towards the old man.
It was clear that the old man's eyes were increasingly glaring and looking for his symbol around his torn clothes but nil because the symbol had now moved into the hands of the girl in his jail. With eyes glaring mixed with nose kempis then clearly visible anger is billowing in the man's head, Clara only behave bodo time in return for his cowardice.
"Give me back! If not, " cried the old man pointing his sword forward.
"Let's fight and get yours." invite Clara to make the symbol roll with the water element into a cristal ball.
"Look, I didn't save her. Take that! " clara said with her sword.
Quickly the old man ran up to the cristal water which was right in the middle between himself and Clara, swinging his hand the man tried to lower the water cristal with his air element. But Clara also hindered every effort of the old man by breaking every spell of the element the old man had.
"Si@l! Watch you! " the old man exclaimed towards Clara with his air element accelerating his footsteps.
Traang, Traang, Traang...
The colliding swords honed each other's abilities with several dodging body movements, clearly the ability of the two could not be doubted. Clara could feel the level of knowledge that the old man had, but the old man was like a stone that had not been carved. Had his training been like the one he got himself or Starla, surely the old man would have had better skills in fighting.
*The light shield* Clara said with a twisting motion of her body and moved behind the old man with one step.
Slowly the shield of light began to envelop the old man, stopping any movement and leaving the sword that had fallen from his hand. The hand that had started to look wrinkled was trying to hit the light shield despite the nil result, Clara only shook her head at the old man's effort.
By allowing the old man to give an oath that was enough to make Clara's ears hot, his hand preferred to take the old man's sword and feel and see who the old man really was. Overview of the old man's life, Clara freezes in the chamber of time. It was unbelievable what he witnessed, making Clara speechless with a sharp look at the old man.
Without caring about the old man's oath, Clara took the symbol that was still covered in water cristal. Holding the water cristal by flowing its fire element, this was the easiest way to destroy his cristal, the difference elements that would be bound together and separated at the same time.
Byuurs... (Crystal water melted and disintegrated due to Clara's flow of fire elements)
*The Holy Scriptures*inner Clara by opening the boundless room in her hand.
Not caring about the old man's sharp gaze or scathing speech, Clara confirmed something written in the book and behind the old man's symbol. His eyes did not stop reading repeatedly, making his eyebrows meet.
"Is this what the prophecy meant? Then where are the other pieces! " clara murmured shut the scriptures and put them back into the room indefinitely.
"Who are you really? " ask Clara touching her shield of light for the old man to hear Clara's words.
"Let go boy! Give me back mine! " excited the old man by pointing at the symbol in Clara's hand.
"I don't have much time, I'd better send him to the illusionary forest. Surely the old hermit knew about this. " murmured Clara stared for a moment at the old man in front of her.
"I'll send you to someone, follow whatever they want! If I want to give it back mine! " clara orders by opening a portal to move the old man to the border, where the old hermit will meet him after the telepathy that Clara did.
Wuuush....
"Let me get the antidote for my sister, my business with her is still not over" said Clara and stepped closer to the strange-looking tree.
The aura with magic was very thick felt, making Clara pass through the middle path of the two interlocked trees, once her steps moved clearly visible changes from the previous condition. From the inside here you can see what's going on out there but from the outside you can't see what's inside here, suddenly four bodyguards approached her lowered their heads and their hands seemed to let her in to follow where they were going.
Not the flower garden in the wide expanse left right of the straight path, but instead so many coffins that have the same color with different sizes. It was as if the place was indeed for the exhibition of chests, but it was clear that the aura inside the mysterious place was very mixed with the air of life and death.
A throne with an eggplant skull headdress in front of Clara at a distance of five meters, the four bodyguards left Clara and did not say a single word.
*How is starla? * clara's telepathic words to the Queen Mother.
*Where are you? As her poison began to spread again, even the healer was overwhelmed to look for the antidote to this poison.* replied the queen mother in her anxious voice.
*Don't healer grandma, prepare a room with blocks of ice and put starla on it! I'll be right back!* said Clara by deciding her telepathy because she felt an aura that looked at her sharply as if finding the mistake Clara did.
"What do you need snow roses for?! " ask someone who looks at Clara without blinking.
"For my sister's life! " clara replied firmly and followed back the gaze of the person in front of her.
