The Seven Monster Spirit

Chapter 27 - The Fiery Flame

"Nerooonnn!!!" Ceithrein shouted very loudly. He felt upset, sad and guilty, for not being able to save his fallen friend, let alone that the boy had fallen for saving himself, it made Ceithrein feel even more guilty.

"Hey Left, is it over there?" Asked Fiet without looking to the left, the man was focusing on the enemy in front of him. Feit did a quick stab using his fire spear which made Scietile's body in front of him hollow and then lost his life.

"Captain Bara, of course, why?" replied the Left casually as it had killed 2 enemies.

"We retreat, let's go back to the spacious place where we rested earlier" Feit said giving his order.

At the mouth of the cave in front of them there were more Scietile, Feit could beat them all by himself but the terrain he had was unfavorable, so the right move was to order his men to retreat and find the right place to fight against the bunch of Scietile.

"As for captain Bara, just because we lost someone, we will leave mis-" Left turned back to look at the stupid face of the captain who had given the order, and after turning his head, Left knows the reason why Feit gave the order to retreat, and now left quickly ran down Volcanes mountain.

Feit also began to run, he held Ceithrein who was still looking down where Neron had fallen.

"Captain I can't leave Neron, let me go, I'll save him" Ceithrein thrashed in Feit's sling.

"Sorry Miss Ceithrein, no one can survive a fall from here, we have to give the boy away. I'll take responsibility later" Feit strengthened his embrace to keep Ceithrein from falling over.

...----------------...

['are you okay, Neron?'] Loirus was worried about Neron falling from a high place.

['you're okay, aren't you a kid?'] Artaros also asked.

"Aww.. my head" said Neron, who was holding his head in pain from a fall.

['Look at that'] said Artaros, indicating that Neron would be fine.

"Did Ceith survive?" Neron asked the two monsters inside his body.

['yes, you managed to save him'] Loirus said honestly.

It made Neron happy because his efforts were not in vain, but now he does not know where he is now.

['Rather than you worrying about the girl you better think of yourself, take a look back'] said Artaros who was watching the surroundings.

Neron did as Artaros said, the boy was surprised to learn there was a monster behind him.

A huge flame that was shaped like a bird, stared at Neron with its fire eyes. Although this was Neron's first time seeing the monster, but he knew, it was a monster that often existed in legends, the immortal firebird monster Phoenix.

Neron jumped back to keep his distance from the monster.

"Hey Man, did you come here to kill me?" The bird could talk like a human, Although its beak did not move but the monster could talk like a grown man.

['Phoenix, he's a rank s monster or even more'] said Artaros who was observing from inside Neron's body.

"It looks like you're right Art, the aura is very strong, this big bird must have been alive for a long time" Neron said telepathically.

['where did you know Neron?'] ask the curious Loirus.

"Nurses"

Although it was not the answer that the wolf wanted but he was still able to accept it.

'I forgot he couldn't hear it' Neron said from deep in his heart.

"I had no intention of doing that, I fell down from up there" Neron tried to explain What happened to him, the monster just looked at Neron with an indescribable gaze, because Neron only saw flames burning in his eyes.

"No one can survive falling from up there" said the firebird monster who could not believe what he saw.

"I am different"

"You must be a strong man, I have a request" The firebird looked at Neron with a sharp gaze.

"Request?" Neron was curious about the request that the Firebird wanted.

"Please kill me" The firebird asked Neron as he lowered his head as if pleading.

"Why are you asking for that?" Neron wanted to find out what reason made the monster in front of him want to die.

"I have no more reason to stay alive" the firebird said blankly.

"What happened to you that made you not want to live anymore?" Neron asked once again, The Phoenix is famous as an immortal fire monster, but the immortal monster in front of the human child actually wants to die, it makes Neron curious.

"You ask too much, just do my request, after all it will be beneficial for you because you can get some parts of my body" said the Phoenix with a slight snarl.

"I came here to look for the Phoenix Firebird, to pick up its feathers, but after hearing that bird was dying, I wondered what happened to you" Neron said, looking around, "I also don't know how to kill an immortal monster like you" he continued.

"If you don't want to do it let them do it" said the firebird who saw a lot of monsters in front of him.

Neron turned around and faced the monsters that had just come.

"Did they always come to kill you?" ask Neron.

"Yes, but they can't do it yet" replied the fire monster behind Neron who was ready to receive an attack.

"so so it is"

Neron observed the fire monsters in front of him, there were some Scietile, Flameboar and also Volcanoc.

['There are a lot of monsters here, Why did you choose to face a lot of monsters rather than weak monsters behind you Neron?'] Ask the curious Loirus.

Neron turned his head from right to left to see the number of monsters in front of him, there were more than 30 monsters that Neron had to face.

"Lou's like this, if there's a lot of hot fire everywhere and eternal cold fire, which one do you think is more interesting?" reply Neron to Loirus's question.

['I understand'] Loirus nodded steadily.

['This is your sword, I won't help you'] Artaros pulled out the Vrodast sword using his space magic, ['Hey Boy show us Your progress, Dance with your sword'] Artaros smiled, ['Hey Boy show us Your progress, Dance with your sword'], his words were filled with vigor even though he was not the one fighting.

Neron took the sword that Artaros had given him and prepared his horses.

"I don't need your help" Neron's gaze focused on the enemy in front of him, the boy was ready to slash at the fire monsters.

Artaros observed from within Neron's body, for the past 3 years a boy who had always been accompanied by the black Dragon had grown and developed, so now was the time to see the development of the boy.
