It had been two days since Yora's appearance in the castle, the spider man who was captured the other day had come to his senses but he was too afraid to speak. Eden stood in front of the prison that locked the man, he had permission from Serva to visit him.
"Tell me, where did you get that magic?"
He still does not answer. The man was still sitting in the corner hugging his knees.
"It's impossible. His soul has been taken away, this person is already insane" murmured Eden.
"There's only one who can handle this, but.." Eden let out a short sigh, choosing to sit on a chair there. "But calling that guy here doesn't seem possible"
Serva came with her three bodyguards. "Hows it? Did you get the answer?"
"Not yet, this guy is mentally already.."
"Oh, yeah. Then, I'll send him to Ajiur Island"
"No, sending him there is like making him not human anymore"
Eden rose from her seat. "I asked him to stay, I'll find another way"
"I understand how you feel, but if he stays here, this castle will be threatened"
"I see, you take it easy, I'll move quickly to deal with this matter"

the Devonia City
In an abandoned rice barn, there were countless children who had no intention of living. Their faces were very lethargic and their bodies were also thin.
They've been locked up there for a week. They only eat rice without side dishes, even then only once a day.
The one who made them miserable like this was Viel, but since he had already been arrested, the children were now taken care of by someone named Gane. Their plan of capturing the children was to be sold to the black market as slaves.
Gane went into that barn. The look on his face was happy, he was accompanied by two of his confidants.
"I'm so grateful to the Security Division for capturing Viel!"
Two of his friends laughed and were happy. "You're so lucky!"
"Really! I've always blessed the goddess of luck. Since Viel has been arrested, these children will be sold and the money will be for the three of us" Gane said. He laughed, making the kids there scared.
Gane walked up to them with his horrible smile. However, the smile faded when he saw someone who seemed to be fast asleep in the corner. His body was covered in a thin blanket and his face was covered by a mask.
"Who is this guy?" ask Gane. Both of his friends shook at the same time.
Gane kicked the man's leg, intending to wake him up. "Hey, wake you up! This isn't a hotel. Hey, you're dead, huh?"
"It's morning, huh?" The man suddenly opened his voice.
"What's? What's with this guy?" Gane is confused.
The man got up, his blanket wrapped around his neck. His hair he trimmed a little and lastly, he stretched his body.
"You're here, too, huh?"
"Huh? This guy is crazy" Gane told friends. "Hey, listen! This isn't a hotel, if you don't want to get beat up, you better get going right now!"
"Oh, yeah. Alright.." the man looked at a little girl sitting nearby. Then he saw the whole kid there.
"You're learning again? This school?"
"Curtain! Much talk. Go or I'll kick it?"
"How much is this girl?" The man had suddenly intended to buy the girl.
Gane and his two friends were shocked and silent for a moment. "Now you're suddenly a buyer. But, it's okay, I'm happy today too"
Gane tells the girl for 5000 gold coins. The man reached into his pocket and gave Gane two gold coins.
"What?! You insulted me, didn't you?!" Gane jumped in annoyance.
"I want these two pieces of gold for all the kids here"
"Basic crazy!" He was about to hit the man, but his hand became unable to move. When Gane saw his hand, his eyes bulged. He found his hand had become completely gold"
"What is this?!" Gane panicked and the man laughed.
"Your hands are gold, you can sell your hands, in exchange for these kids to lose everything"
"Crazy, this guy is insane! You two! Get him!" shout Gane.
"It's time to play" said the man. He took a small iron from his pocket. His hand turned to iron.
The man beat the two with his iron hands. With a single blow, they had already fallen and were difficult to move.
"You suck!" shout Gane.
The man turned to the torch fire located on the wall. He stepped there and touched the fire. Suddenly, his hand was enveloped in flames and it became a burning ember.
"You're this.. What?" Gane sat down while holding his golden hand.
"Meta Art - Fantasy Form"
An ability that allows users to use the power to change the shape of the object they hold.
The man approached Gane with his fire hand.
"Don't! Stay away from me!" shout Gane.
The man stopped right in front of him. He slowly undid his mask and showed Gane his big smile.
"S-shit..! You're. Evil Eagle, Mender!"
Mender laughed off. "I'm very famous here!"
"Please. Oh, don't kill me!"
"Oh, I'll do it" Mender smiled faintly. Quickly, he held Gane's head until he cried out in pain. Mender does it without pity, he even occasionally yawns.
After Gane was burned to death in the head, he dropped Gane's body on the floor and returned his hand as before. He stepped out of the barn and opened the barn door wide until the sunlight entered completely inside.
Mender turned to the children who were still pensive inside. "What's wrong? Don't want to go out?"
They're still silent.
"If you don't want to, I'll eat you!"
The children shouted and asked Mender for forgiveness.
"Then get out of here!" yells.
They all ran out of the barn. Mender let out a short sigh seeing that they all felt free again.
"Ups.." he saw two soldiers. He put his mask on and walked away from there.

midoria
Arion and Frimeya were taking a leisurely stroll through the city while having a casual conversation. Today is the last day Arion is in this city, after nothing has happened and the appearance of Yora is no longer visible.
Arion was just waiting for the investigation of Eden and Faesa who he said was going to be alone in the small hill behind the castle.
As they were laughing together, Arion felt an evil energy heading towards him.
"Stop, Miss" said Arion.
Frimeya stopped in confusion. "What's up, Prince?"
Arion did not answer, he looked around. His eyes widened, he looked up and found a Pteranodon (Prehistoric Animal) darting towards him with an open muzzle.
"Qube Art - Ice Barrier!"
Ice shields formed above them. The animal's beak hit with ice and caused the shield to crack.
"What's that?!" ask Frimeya, surprised.
Arion pulled Frimeya away from there. Someone appeared from above the Pteranodon, it was Yora who was smiling at them.
"I want to introduce myself first. My name is Yora, from the Ethinos organization"
"What does this have to do with me, Big Eyes?!"
Yora laughed loudly. "I. I don't even know if this has anything to do with you!"
"Don't say much!" exciting Frimeya. "How dare you mess up in my town!"
Frimeya shot his magic arrow at Yora, but a burst of flames emerged from behind Yora, burning the arrow to ashes.
Yora laughed cynically. "I think this has something to do with you!"
A girl appeared from behind Yora. His cold gaze seemed to pierce Arion's heart. A girl he knew very well. A girl who always protects him. A girl who always defended him. A girl he considers a sister.
Arion's hand shook, his eyes seemed to want to turn away from him and his mouth was slightly gaping.
"Faesa..?"
Yora laughed again. "'Can? I told you this had something to do with you!"
"Faesa, w-what are you doing with her?"
"I'm sorry Arion, this is my path. I've chosen him" Faesa replied, cold, no longer seems like her always cheerful self.
"W-what do you mean? Come on. k-we go home, Daendra and Kak Yaena have been waiting at home" Arion persuaded while trying her hardest to develop her smile.
"Arion, I'm sorry. Go home alone, they're waiting for you"
"No, we go together, we must go home together. Now, please go home, I beg you"
"Faesh, make your loyalty to Ethinos manifest" whispered Yora.
"Good"
"Faesa?"
Faesa took the mace from his back and jumped up into the sky. Faesa darted towards Arion who could not move due to shock seeing Faesa intending to attack him.
"Ario!" Frimeya immediately pulled him back, but both of them crashed when Faesa hit the ground with his hammer.
Arion fell in front of Frimeya who was holding his body. Frimeya tries to resuscitate Arion from his reverie.
"What'sthis? My body cannot move, I cannot hold a sword. My body is not powered" Arion's inner.
Faesa darted towards them, he turned his gun and prepared to attack Arion again.
Suddenly...
The trail!
A person in black clothes appeared in front of Arion while holding off Faesa's attack with a sword. His golden eyes intimidated someone who saw him.
"Eden." said Arion.
"This is your choice? Alright, I already have no reason to hurt you anymore" Eden let out a black flame from both of her arms. The black flames spread everywhere, circling around all of them.
Faesa took a few steps back from Eden. He held a mace in front of him and mounted horses. Eden stood upright, he was not on standby though, just standing quietly.
Faesa ran towards Eden. He went round and round with his hammer, then hit Eden, but Eden again deflected it with his sword. Eden accelerated his sword movements, making Faesa unable to withstand all of Eden's sword attacks, so Faesa found several slash wounds.
Eden sprayed six black fireballs at Faesa. Faesa avoided it by retreating while jumping up and down but the final fireball hit his arm. Faesa fell and fell to the ground.
Eden turned to Yora who was still above the Pteranodon. As soon as he directed the fire towards the animal until it burned, Yora was forced to go down the street and face Eden.
"Wake up Faesa" he said.
"Good" Faesa got up while enduring the pain.
Arion felt sorry to see Faesa being forced to stand up as he was in such pain. Taking a deep breath, Arion also got up and stood beside Eden. Frimeya got up anyway and stood beside the two of them.
Arion drew his sword and prepared to fight with them.
Yora also prepared, as did Faesa. With a single breath, they ran towards each other. Eden darted very fast towards Yora, they again clashed with strength.
Arion jumped up and attacked Faesa. While biting his lower lip, Arion raised his sword at Faesa. Meanwhile, Frimeya helped the two of them from behind with her bow.
Arion and Faesa did not say a word while fighting. However, Arion's lack of focus led him to be hit several times by Faesa's mace, until his sword slipped out of his grasp.
Faesa was about to hit Arion's chest with a mace, but he was shot by Frimeya's magic arrow.
"Ario!" Frimeya shoots Arion's sword, then the sword moves back towards Arion.
Faesa took out his dagger and spouted it out with fire. The object shot towards Arion, but Arion caught it with his ice hand.
Moving to Eden.
Yora smiled broadly at Eden. He was very good at playing his sword, making Eden a little overwhelmed.
"You're getting weaker, how could you possibly defeat me!"
Yora slashed her sword exactly one inch in front of Eden's eyes. Eden retreated immediately, but Yora had appeared beside Eden, kicking her down from there.
Having just hit the ground hard, Yora appeared above Eden. Eden immediately dodged and took out his lightning Element.
"You think that's enough to beat me?!" Yora took out her Water Element, a huge wave of water appeared behind Yora, then Yora took out her Lightning Element to increase the attack power in that enormous wave of water.
Eden's eyes widened. He would not be able to withstand the attack, nor could Arion turn the wave water into ice completely.
Yora summoned two iron golems to hold Eden. After that, he shot towards Arion.
"Well, the blood and energy of this child is completely different from the rest" Yora murmured.
"Damn! Miss, quickly protect Arion!" exclaim Eden. Frimeya nodded, he took out the Lower Arc and blasted it at Yora and hit her.
"Damn it!" Yora became furious. He turned around and ran towards Frimeya.
"You!" Yora strangles him and lifts Frimeya's body until his feet no longer touch the ground.
Arion realized that. "Miss Frimeya!"
Seeing Arion off guard, Faesa stabs Arion in the back. Arion was startled and silent for a moment until he spewed blood. Slowly he looked back, his eyes slightly widened as he saw Faesa shed her tears.
Yora throws Frimeya from there and lands on the road. He coughed, his eyes blurry. He saw Yora walking closer to Arion.
"Arion.." and then, he fainted.
The water waves flooded the area. Eden became furious, he quickly finished the two golems and then held the wave with the strength of his eyes.
As a result, the big wave swirled in place and did not spread everywhere but Eden seemed very difficult there. He glanced at Frimeya who was lying on the ground and turned to Arion who was in danger.
Yora holds Arion's forehead. "What are you? Why are you so attractive?"
"Take me off" said Arion, cold.
"Oh, that? All right, I'm sucking your energy right now"
Faesa. "S-in a moment, we don't have to kill him"
"Do you want to ban me?" ask Yora.
"T-no" Faesa looked down.
Yora was about to suck up Arion's energy, suddenly Yora's body was bound by a halo.
"What is this?!" Yora was panicking. Then, the sword of light slashed at his body so many times that he screamed in pain.
"Dimensions!"
Eden opened the teleportation gate under Arion's footing. Arion was shocked, he fell into the teleportation gate and disappeared from there.
"Bad!" yora Exclamation. With all his might, he broke away from the circle and then shot towards Eden.
Eden ran towards Frimeya and entered the other teleportation gate. The two of them disappeared from there, the wave of water wanted to fall onto the ground.
"Alright, see you at the next meeting" Yora and Faesa went straight from there before they were hit by the electric wave.
That day, Midoria is hit by a disaster and Arion is lost somewhere.
