The trail!
Faesa repelled every attack from the spider's legs. His legs are like steel, it's hard to break them.
"Damn.." murmured Faesa.
"Foot!" exclaim the Elf warrior.
Dozens of arrows were glued onto the spider's body. However, none can penetrate the skin of the animal.
"His body is like a suit of armor" Faesa grumbled.
Arion ran around the animal while emitting ice onto the giant spider's legs. Then, he made an ice hill in order to climb onto the spider's body. Arion clasped his sword tightly as he climbed the small ice hill he had made.
Arion leaped onto the animal's face, then groaned while sticking his sword into one of the spider's eyes until he groaned in pain. His head moved quickly, sending Arion crashing.
"Ario!" jeremy Faesa. Suddenly, one of the spider's legs moved quickly towards him. Faesa was thrown violently into one of the buildings.
"It's difficult. In any case, this animal will not fall in a short time" murmured Eden.
Then, he accidentally saw someone on the roof of one of the buildings there. The man left immediately after Eden looked at him.
Eden was soon after him. Not long after, Serva, Frimeya and the others appeared to the scene.
"Woah, he's big" Frimeya said.
"Prepare your arrow magic!" exciting Serva.
The entire Elf army cast their magic spells, while the non Elves prepared to attack with their Qube.
Dozens of slashes of magic arrows moved swiftly towards the animal's body. There was an explosion when dozens of arrows hit the spider.
The spider groaned and wanted to fall. Frimeya flashed his two magic arrows, the two arrows turned into ropes and wrapped around the neck of the animal.
Trimetra made his sword coated in blue-colored energy. "We'll finish quickly"
Trimetra ran towards the spider. With a single slash of air, the steel body of the spider finally broke through and left a huge scar. The spider fell to the ground, it was already dying.
"Again" said Trimetra, cold.
Just as he was about to strike back, a pile of ice suddenly appeared in front of him. The trimetra became a retreating reflex but its sword entered into the ice.
Everyone there was shocked. Then, Arion appeared there, his head wounded and dripping with blood. He stood between the Trimetra and the spider.
"Stop, please stop!" said.
Then the appearance of Arion that looks to protect the spider makes people who see it become confused.
"This spider is not an ordinary animal, he is a person of the Demi-Human race" Arion said.
"What do you mean?" ask Serva.
"If you're going to protect her, I'm not afraid I'm going to kill you here" Trimetra said.
"Please listen to my explanation!" Arion insisted. "He is of the Demi-Human race. I saw him change himself, at first he was a man"
"Don't make it up!" exclaim the Elf army.
"You're the owner of this animal, huh?!"
"No! I fought him too!" objection Arion.
Arion's position is getting desperate, they are too afraid to hear Arion's words, but not for Frimeya.
"Dad, we'd better consider what he's saying"
"All right then. Explain it!" Serva agrees to Frimeya's suggestion.
"I explained it!"
Not long after, the spider's body began to shrink. The Elf army returned on standby by lifting back their bows. It began to shrink and return to its original size as humans in general.
His body was seriously injured in the Trimetra attack. Arion sat on his knees beside him. "Hold on" said Arion, he raised the man's head. His breath sounded weak.
Frimeya walked slowly towards them.
"Frimeya, no" said Serva. But, Frimeya kept walking closer to Arion.
"Miss Frimeya" Trimetra held Frimeya's arm. "Take it easy" Frimeya removed his own arm from Trimetra's grasp.
"Miss Frimeya?" Arion was a little surprised to see the girl approaching him.
"Let me help" Frimeya touched the man's wound, then came a healing light from Frimeya's hand.
"You're a Healer?" ask Arion.
"I only know a few basic things" Frimeya chuckled softly. "I'm a little impressed by this ability. Well, helping others is wonderful, isn't it?"
"Yes, you're right"
The man's wounds began to heal and his condition slowly stabilized. Serva comes over.
"What really happened to him?" ask Serva.
"Very complicated. I'm still confused to explain it" replied Arion.
"What are we doing, sir?" ask one of the soldiers.
"We're taking him to the castle and interrogating him. For now we're putting it in a dungeon"
"Good" they took the man away.
The trimetra approached. "You're great, Miss. I didn't expect it"
Frimeya shook his head slowly. "You never expected it, Young Master" Frimeya turned to Arion.
"What's your name?"
"Arion Gareins"
"Gosh, are you from Rabadar Kingdom?" asked Serva, surprised.
"He's not just from there, he's one of Rabadar's Princes" Faesa appeared holding his arm.
"Faesa" Arion approaches him. "You're okay?"
"Well, this is not my best moment" Faesa laughed weakly.
Serva immediately told her soldiers to take Faesa to the healer for further examination.
"Stay in our castle. You two are our guests of honor" said Serva.
"Ah, no need, sir. We came here too suddenly" Arion smiled awkwardly.
"You are our guests, let us serve you both" Serva said.
"Alright, what can be done" Faesa smiled and agreed.
***
Arion stepped towards the balcony of the castle while holding his back.
"Cock sick? Well, this must have been a wound this afternoon"
His intention to the balcony was to enjoy the fresh air but with the pain in his back made him not want to move.
"Faesa how, huh? Is he recovering?" Ask Arion to himself.
"What about Eden? I haven't seen him since the mess last day"
"Prince? You're here as it turns out" Frimeya came from behind. Arion looked towards the girl.
"Miss Frimeya? You looking for me?"
"Yes, I didn't see you last night at dinner. Miss Faesa was there earlier"
"Faesa is recovering, yes. I'm sorry, I can't attend, my body hurts so much but don't worry"
"really? It could be bad, where's the pain?"
"Um.. here" Arion pointed at his own back.
"Do you want to treat?"
"Ah, no need, Miss! No, let me just treat him later"
"It's okay, let me treat"
Frimeya touched Arion's back with both hands. Then, he stroked her gently but vigorously.
"The incident was this afternoon, from where you-"
"No need to be formal, miss"
"good. The incident was noon, where did you.. find out?"
"I came here because of a friend. He was also investigating the same thing and we accidentally found the man"
"So. You're here because of your friend's suspicions, aren't you?"
"so. At first I also did not know what it means to call me here, it turns out about this. Supposedly, he called someone who was professional or more experienced than me"
"What... invitation to this application event.to Rabadar Kingdom?"
"I guess until. My father had asked my brother, the Crown Prince, to come here but he refused and we have no representation"
"There's no representation? Wh why? Are you not considered?"
Arion laughed a little. "No, I'm a minor and not yet eligible to propose to a girl. I don't have a plan like that either"
"Oh, yeah. Then, what's your plan?"
"Umm. I actually have some plans. But, I would rather explore this world and understand it. I don't want power, I just want to give that power to a decent person"
Frimeya was silent and accidentally pressed down on Arion's back even harder, thus making the man scream in pain.
"I'm sorry!"
"I-yes, it's okay"
Frimeya stood beside Arion. "Are you serious about what you said?"
"I've never been this serious"
Frimeya pondered for a moment. He thought he should have made a plan like Arion. He wants to be free and do what he wants. Not like this, shackled with an endless application event.
"Miss Frimeya" call Arion.
"Yes?"
"I think you're a hard woman to conquer"
Frimeya blinked his eyes many times. He was confused but his cheeks turned red.
"What do you mean?"
"Today I've seen a lot of men coming. I as a man judge them to look handsome and dashing. Why don't you accept them?"
"Maybe it's not time to get engaged yet"
Arion raised both eyebrows. "So, yes" he turned his head forward, looking at the city adorned with lights.
"Sister!"
Vaya came running towards them. He gaping at Arion, it made Arion feel a little strange.
"Sister's been proposed, huh?" ask Vaya plainly to Frimeya.
Arion and Frimeya's faces were both flushed.
"T-no, no... K-sister has not been asked by anyone" said Frimeya.
"Oh! Then, whose brother is this? Brother's girlfriend?"
"N-not! This brother is. b-derived from Rabadar Kingdom. He's our guest"
Arion smiled awkwardly at Vaya.
"Ooh, so. Why aren't you guys dating?"
Frimeya screamed, he could not bear to hear Vaya's very innocent babble.
"It's been, it's been, it's been late. Vaya's not sleeping? Come on, Brother take you to the room" Frimeya pulled Vaya's arm away.
"We'll excuse us" Frimeya was already at the boiling point, his face as red as a tomato, not even daring to look at Arion.
Arion let out a long sigh after the two of them left.
"You're so alluring"
Suddenly, Eden appeared beside him while sitting on the edge of the balcony.
"Gosh" Arion became shocked.
"You stole his heart" Eden said.
"What's? Don't make it up, where have you been?" ask Arion.
"I'm chasing someone and getting something"
"What's that?"
"The person behind all this is the Demi-Human race itself"
"Huh?!"
