Zeeta and the Wizarding World

Threats

Fifteen years ago, Scarlet, who had brief briefed the students whose classes Willmurd represented, returned to her throne. There, he was spoken to by an Elf.

"What exactly is your purpose in sending those boys down to eradicate Erigona?" asked the Fairy, "why don't you just order the entire academy to help them?

"No, wouldn't it be wise if you took down the magic warrior?"

Scarlet looked at the fairy. "Shut up, Fairy. This has nothing to do with you. Even if I tell you, what's the benefit for you?"

"Come on, aren't we partners in order to build the kingdom of—" the Fairy's remark was broken.

"Huh!? You're just Feline's accomplice, want to say you're doing me a favor? No kidding. I built this kingdom with my own strength and my own people. Don't act like your race has the most power in the world!

"Get it out from before me, right now!"

The Elf quietly gripped tightly onto his hand, then left Scarlet.

"Where can I let my future grandchildren experience all of Feline's prophecies. As long as I'm in power, I will destroy all those who pose a threat to my grandson!" inner Scarlet, with her sharp gaze.

......................

Erigona, a magical creature in the form of a creeping plant, fortunately appeared in the forest far from the kingdom. However, there are a variety of fishy points that will only be smelled by certain people, such as Scarlet for example. And at this time, the most important person in the kingdom was to send his Princess down there.

The disciples consisting of two groups—Willmurd Group and Ashley— Group have now spread themselves and tried various things that they think of to eradicate Erigona without using magic. Like attacking using a sword, spear, and other physical objects. But, baby, none of that has any effect.

A long trunk stuck out Erigona suddenly. It attacked people who were near Hellen, including himself. With his speed that was difficult to avoid, making those who were still students, very difficult.

"Basic, even though his body is big, but what is the speed and endurance of his body?!" lamented Hellen, "how do we cope with his regeneration if the stem is cut off but he is growing more?!"

"Express or you'll get hit!" scream Garren suddenly.

On top of Erigona's body, Garren made a magic circle large enough to paddle their target. The magic circle, like the Rowing emblem, has a rose pattern and is red. Seeing the magic circle, the students immediately distanced themselves.

"Mr Will, prepare for healing magic" whispered Ashley, who was watching from a distance.

"Well," replied Willmurd, then gathered up the mana.

Garren's magic circle then lit up brightly until it almost blinded for a moment all the views that were there. After that, he lowered both his hands simultaneously. As if responding to Garren, a large amount of flood spilled from his magic circle, drenching Erigona.

"What are you trying to do, Mr Garren?" ask Porte.

"A plant ... will not be able to survive after .. receives a lot of water," Garren replied. He was bathed in sweat, also out of breath.

The giant body of Erigona seemed to shrivel and the stems were shrinking. Seeing this, Garren smiled.

"Successfully, will you...?" ask the students worried.

A few moments later...

Alicia realized something. He glanced suddenly. "No!" her screams aloud, "everything, insult—" Alicia who tried to warn her friends.

"GODDH!"

With a speed faster than before, Erigona managed to injure anyone nearby with a sharp prick of her trunk.

No exception for the magic creatures, they also fell victim and dropped the rider.

"Currently, failed, did you?" lamented Garren, who was upset that her magic was not working.

"FUCKING FOOL!" shouted someone who was under Garren. Hearing him, Garren reflexively looked to the source of the voice.

"Didn't you hear the Grand Duchess saying that Erigona would absorb magic?! Even though what you're creating is water, magic is magic!" the one who shouted that was Arthur. He was injured on the left side of his stomach. He was holding the wound with his left hand while grimacing in pain.

"Then what can we do, try to tell me! Besides regenerating, he was also fast!" pekik Garren, don't want to be blamed.

"So-about that...."

Garren frowned. "Huh?! Then you dare protest me, commoner? Don't act like you're better—"

"You two, stop it! This is not the time to fight." Alicia mediated them with her glowing golden green eyes.

"Tu... Princess...." Garren can't dodge, neither can Arthur.

"Look around you, what happens when you fight."

All the disciples fell on the dead ground, as well as his magic creatures.

"Ma-where-me..- I'm losing my breath...."

"What ... does .. happen? My body, can't...."

The disciples did not expect it to be like this. Erigona who continued to absorb mana on the ground, earned a tasty bonus from the magic-talented nobles and disciples. In the end, Erigona evolved herself once again.

Willmurd and Ashley did not remain silent after seeing their students fall like flies. The two transported them with magic shaped hundreds of hands that came out of the students' bodies. The hands passed to the other hand and they went away for a moment to be healed.

Right now, all that was left near Erigona, were Alicia, Hellen, Arthur, Garren, and Porte. Understanding this precarious situation, the five nobles gathered.

"Everyone, I have a plan. Will you help me?" ask Alicia.

"Yes!" Arthur, Hellen, and Porte nodded without hesitation. While Garren looked at Alicia's annoyance.

"Garren, stop being selfish for now!" shout Hellen.

While they discussed while avoiding Erigona's attacks that did not stop....

......................

The elf who had previously spoken to Scarlet, used her magic to teleport towards the Erigona area that Alicia and her friends were fighting against.

"Scarlet, I'll make your arrogance into your own suffering!" he looked for Erigona's whereabouts. After finding him, he smiled widely.

"Haha! What is this, what is this, what is this...?! I've never seen Erigona reach this big! If this is the case..how would Scarlet face if her favorite child died because of her own orders, yes...?" the Fairy's smile grew wider.

The fairy gathered mana at one point—in front of her left index finger, then chanted. "O land .. O water .. O wind .. O nature which is the pillar of my strength, as the Elves command you. Make Erigona perfect!"

Various details of mana gathered on the fairy's index finger. The collection of mana turned red and was as big as marbles, then moved forward towards Erigona.

"Aaah.I can't wait to see Scarlet's slumped face." he muttered with a big smile.

At the same time, Ashley and Willmurd who were curing the condition of the disciples were startled by the intense feeling of pressure.

"Hmm?!" Ashley and Willmurd are wide-eyed.

"What the fuck is this?!" willmurd said, "and where does this go...?"

After realizing it, they panicked instead of playing. "Miss Alicia!!" both of them followed Alicia and her friends.

......................

"There's one thing I'm aware of with Erigona's rapid growth in size. He must have had a core under his body that was covered by the ground. Therefore, Porte, I want you to find out where Erigona's roots lie.

"Me and Garren will lift up the ground that the roots don't pass through. Hellen and Arthur, you help us to fend off the rod while we're lifting the ground, and then I'll destroy the core with my magic."

Alicia had already finalized her plan, however....

"Tu-Tuan Putri..Where is this...?" Hellen looked cold sweaty. But that's not the case with Garren, Porte, and Arthur.

"See that!" Porte pointed backwards down.

The red ball of mana went into the ground then fused with the core of Erigona. With a flash, Erigona's body simply disappeared.

"W-what happened?" murmured Arthur.

"What is that heavy, gripping red ball? No, wait. That red ball...." Alicia tried to guess what happened. "God! Everything la—!"

'DDWWUUMMM!!'

The blast of strong wind blew away the five nobles and magic creatures they rode on until they scattered. Everyone was hurt, including Alicia. He was thrown into the ground for a moment, making a deep hole.

Garren got stuck on top of a tree and lost her consciousness. While Porte, managed to shrink the impact of his fall with the crystal he made to land, but he actually banged his head on the crystal and made his head spill blood so that it eventually made him lose consciousness as well.

Hellen who crashed near Arthur, just fainted in the middle he floated in the sky. Realizing that, Arthur immediately grabbed Hellen tightly. Seeing that they were about to fall, Arthur put his back on to protect Hellen from the impact of dead tree trunks, and then finally they landed on the ground.

"Damn it, my back is definitely broken!" arthur's mind endured the pain. Shortly after, Hellen opened his eyes. He realized that he was being held tightly by Arthur.

"A-a-what are you doing? Unhand me!" scream Hellen, who was actually pounding.

"Don't move much first! Since my back is broken, I guess you should hold on in my arms even longer." Arthur's words made Hellen blush red. "I'm sorry if I'm so presumptuous, Miss Hellen." As if falling from the sky, Arthur made Hellen pout.

"Based on heroism, when you accidentally knocked me down!" hellen.

Arthur was made to think for a moment, then he remembered what this Lady Noble meant. "intentionally? No no, I did see your shoelaces come off," replied Arthur.

"Tali...?" Hellen remembered it. "Ah...he was right.. When I was preparing to leave earlier, I just realized my shoelaces were off....," his mind was embarrassed. "It turns out he really did protect me...."

"I'm sorry I was wrong...." Hellen pinched Arthur's arm.

"A-oh, why are you pinching me?"

"Hide on! You can't move much, stay like this, okay? I'll cure you." Hellen's serious face made Arthur flinch a little.

"Ba-good. Thank you." Thank you."

......................

Willmurd and Ashley came late. What awaited them was not the Erigona they knew and the absence of the figures of those disciples as far as the eye could see.

Slowly ... slowly but surely behind the white smoke, a creature appeared. Just in case, Willmurd and Ashley took out their Magic Books, while Willmurd also rode on horseback with his rapier sword. Yet....

"Agd!" Willmurd suddenly fell down. His right eye was injured.

"Mr Will?! What is—"

"Hehaha!" the creepy sound of laughter, like it wasn't the laughter of a Human, shocked Ashley.

"By Aurora, what are you?!" Ashley shivered, her eyes bulging after seeing the figure that had come out of the white smoke.

The figure is human-postured, dark brown body, muscular, hand-held, legged, but pointed fingers. The head has two black horns, not eyes but mouth. His back is overgrown with pointed rods bent down and black in color.

Without answering Ashley's question, the figure poked his feet, then lunged at Ashley at a high speed that he might not be able to fend off.

Everyone involved in that day will never forget that the Erigona crackdown had a start and a surprising end.
