“Uhuk! Uhuk!”
Alpha stood up from the rubble that was hoarding him. Her body feels crumpled. He wiped the blood flowing from his head.
“Who is the man who appeared suddenly that actually? Why is he so strong?”
Alpha has been defeated. He bounced for tens of meters and hit an old house of residents, the building collapsed and fell on him. Alpha was unconscious for a few minutes before waking up. The man who appeared earlier was really strong. He had no trouble fighting Alpha and Algol at the same time.
“Captain Algol... I have to go back there immediately and see the situation..”.
The alpha who first walked tried to run. He grimaced in pain. His body grew increasingly agitated each time he was forced to move. But the young man was determined to leave as soon as possible, as given how powerful their opponents were it was not impossible for Algol to need his help at this moment.
Alpha has arrived at the battle site. He was surprised to find the damage in the place had doubled. He looked for Algol. His captain was engulfed with blood on the ground.
Alpha's color-different eyes widen when he sees the mysterious man trying to give an ultimate attack to Algol. Alpha shouting loudly, “Hentikaaan!” And his body moved on its own to protect Algol.
Cracks. Cracks. Pyaar!
The sword of light that Alpha used to withstand the slash from the man was smashed into pieces. However, the young man quickly pulled the dagger from his waist and grabbed it at the man.
The man jumped back.
Alpha glanced at Algol through the tail of his eyes. The man in blue was unconscious. His condition is seriously injured. I don't know from the wound where the blood that was holding him. Algol is critical.
‘We have to retreat,’ says Inner Alpha.
But he was disturbed by a powerful explosion followed by a red flash of light from the explosion. Alpha who realized that it was an emergency instantly formed a dome to protect himself and Algol. He was surprised by the force of the explosion, although it originated from the southern settlement but the northern area where they were located was still hit by strong effects.
The Alpha Dome was almost destroyed many times. It continues and continues to drain the power of its light so that the shape of the dome remains intact. Alpha is not worried about him not wearing armor, instead he uses his power of light to strengthen Algol's protection. The side of the dome that protected Alpha was slowly eroded, it left his right arm exposed to the effect of an explosion, his skin blistered.
“Uu-uukh..”.
Alpha head pening. His sight began to blur a little. Although he is still able to keep the dome of light still exist but the shape of the dome is not as neat and as solid as before.
“Sial..” Alpha whimpering. “My strength has almost reached the limit....”.
Alpha collapsing. The dome of light disappeared instantly. Thankfully they were lucky, for right at that very moment the annihilating burst of light was over.
Alpha glanced at the man earlier. The man stood still without the slightest injury. Alpha was astonished, but he was sure the man did not have time to save himself.
“Ba.. how to bis..”
Alpha had lost consciousness before his words were finished. The man just stared coldly at Alpha as well as Algol, then he immediately left the place heading south.
...*** ...
“The explosion is done..” said Kraz, he got rid of the iron board he used to protect the head.
Kraz then observed his body. His clothes were in tatters and injuries were all over his body. So too with Okul and Diphda who are in the same place as him. Because they were close enough to the center of the explosion, they received no small impact.
Though the place was full of ramplite, but now only the three of them are left. Worse, the bodies of the dead ramplite are not in a complete body condition. Most of them lost some of their bodies because they had no defense to protect themselves, unlike star humans who were able to use armor or light domes. It was a truly horrible explosion.
“Source of the explosion from Luxco fight spot, let's go there!” bring Okul.
They ran as fast as they could towards Luxco's place. Fortunately, the distance is not so far that they can still reach it without having to force the condition of the body that has been injured.
Beyond the expectation of those who think Luxco may be seriously injured, the man from Mayall Village even took the enemy. He seems to be interrogating her.
“Mr. Luxco.”
Luxco. He pointed his sword of light at them. With a threatening tone he warned, “Stay there and do not approach. This guy is dangerous.”
“O-oh... well,” replied Kraz nervously, just a moment ago he thought Luxco would attack them.
Luxco is back against Anser. His sword of light was very sharp he pressed on Anser's neck. With a light pressure he scratched the neck of the star man who had turned to resemble that monster.
“Tell me who's the one who ever gave you doping?”
“I said it or not you're going to kill me in the end. Then I choose to die while still making you curious.”
Luxco hurt Anser's neck. Blood flowed from the tip of his sword. “Say.”
Anser raised his face, making a slight distance between the skin of his neck and Luxco's sword. “What I know is he's a stingy information guy. Even if you beat him like you did to me, he's not necessarily going to tell you anything. What do you want to know about him, huh?”
“Tell you can't answer.”
Anser gritted her teeth. He's upset. “You still say that again! Don't think me stupid!”
“Then,” said Luxco, “what do you know of a drug that can make an ordinary human being the star—that I want to ask.”
Anser. He laughed out loud later. A laugh that indicates banter.
“You are really dumb if you think there is such a drug,” he said after finishing chuckling. “No ordinary human being can use the power of light! Do not equate weak beings like them with us! Star people are different, they are special, so they have the power of light.
Ramplite, they were basically born with the interference of the power of light, hence they could also use the power of light. But ordinary humans are just weak beings who have nothing. Where is there an ordinary human with the power of light? Don't make it up!” hatch Anser.
“Ordinary humans with the power of light really exist. You just haven't met him, but I've faced him. And he's stronger than anyone I've ever faced.”
“Hah! Bullshit!”
“A proud person like you won't accept it, I know that, so I asked you about the person who once gave you doping. So, say.”
“Good. I'll let. Come to her and see how she'll react with that stupidity you're talking about. Name—”
“Find you, Anser Vulpecula.”
Luxco immediately turned his head to hear a heavy and cold voice from behind him.
His eyes widened in shock. Body stiffens. It was a voice he recognized. And the figure that approached him now was the one he would never forget.
Luxco retreated slowly unconsciously. His body warned him not to get too close to the man.
“Who are you?” Anser asked.
“People who will kill you.”
“Hey, hey, what's going on? Today so many people came to kill me. I don't even have any business with you guys,” Anser said.
“You are a madman who experimented on my men, because part of my plan failed. Accept my condemnation.”
“Your men? I don't remember making humans guinea pigs. I just did it to the ramplite—”
“They are my subordinates.”
“That's funny! You also said another silliness. Humans will never have a relationship with ramplite! What's up, huh? You want to say that you also have the power of light as the man talked about?”
The ordinary man did not answer anything to Anser's scorn, instead he actually conjured up the power of light from his right hand. It left everyone there shocked, especially Anser.
“A-what? N-no way! How could?! Though only a human bi—”
A slash!
Zraash!
With a single move the man's hand slashed Anser's body into two pieces with a huge sword of light. His body was cut in the middle, separating between his right and left halves. Blood gushed out instantly. The stakes Luxco made vanished and left Anser's body lying on the ground.
The man protected himself using the shield of light that he appeared before him.
Okul, Kraz and Diphda gaped at the sight. They could hardly believe his vision. An ordinary human could actually use the power of light. Moreover, he was a ruthless person and sided with the ramplite.
Siinin!
Luxco unsheathed his sword of light. His face showed no fear at all. He even grinned gleefully.
“I found you,” Luxco said. “This time I finish you.”
The man just glanced at Luxco. “I have no intention of killing anyone who is not my target,” he said flatly.
“I am your target! I'm Luxco the resident of Mayall Village! You're looking for the villagers, aren't you? This is where I offer myself. I'll kill you. I'll avenge my defeat six years ago.”
Luxco fishing is working. The man completely exposed himself to Luxco. He stared hard.
“Then kebetula—”
Dziiby!
A swirling arch light shot out very quickly towards the mysterious man. He could fend it off with just the thunder of a hand that let out a beam of light. The attack bounced. It turned out that the origin of the attack was an Alpha who came with Algol on his back.
“My fight with you is not over yet! I haven't lost!” yell Alpha out loud.
Luxco is surprised by the arrival of Alpha and its challenges. While Okul and others were shocked by the condition of Algol who was injured very badly and unconscious.
Alpha puts Algol very carefully on the ground. After that he put the horses ready to fight. Seeing that made Luxco panic.
“Stop, Alpha! He's no match for you! If you fight him you'll die!” yell Luxco.
But too late, the man had already gathered light in both of his hands. He was preparing to carry out an attack. But alas, an unexpected person suddenly landed from the air and interrupted the fight that almost started—a ramplite.
Arriving next to the mysterious ramplite man removes his wings. Now it looks normal like a human in general, but with very pale skin.
‘Figure one level top..’ Luxco.
“Master, I brought an important report.”
The man stopped his attacking intent. It removes the power of light. “Say.”
“The person carrying it is not far from here, Sir. And she's just alone.”
Hearing that, the man was angry. He strangled the first-ranked ramplite. “Then why are you even here?”
“Ugh. I-I tried to fight him.. urgh..” The ramplite was holding his neck.
“Say until done.” The man let go of his giggling.
The ramplite coughed for a moment. He then continued, “I and my troops have fought him, but my men managed to defeat him in just one attack. He's very strong, sir. Weak people like us can't deal with it.”
“Take me to where the person is.”
“Understand, Sir!”
The ramplite again took out a wing from its back, a strong and sturdy eagle wing. He lifts up the man's body, takes him flying.
“Don't run! I won't let you just run away! I will beat you!” scream Alpha fast. He then fired a light attack upwards.
The ramplite could dodge it easily.
“Should I clear them, Mister?”
“No. Let me just.”
The man pointed his hand at Alpha. From there came a streak of light that directly hit down. The sound of a loud explosion blared.
“Luxco!” exclaim Alpha realizes that Luxco is holding the attack for all of them.
“Lumayan,” said the man. He looked at Luxco. “My name is Enceladus Herschel. If you come to me then I will gladly face you.”
After saying this, Enceladus ordered the ramplite, who took him away. Luxco stared at the man until he was lost from his sight. His brain repeated the name Enceladus Herschel many times.
“Males who always carry threats, Enceladus Luxco.
