Elementalists
Chapter 56 - Orange Witch

A bright orange light shot out from the end of the umbrella and split the body of the Colossal Violet Centipede into two pieces, Arya and Lexa exhaled a sigh of relief as they managed to dodge in time.

If they were a little late then the nadip both would be the same as the poor centipede. Her body parts were still able to move around as Lexa tried to nudge her a little, M approached the two while asking about their situation with an anxious look on their face.

"We're fine, but I never thought you had such a great ability" Arya praised as she dusted off her clothes.

"Ahahaha big brother is too much" she replied shyly.

"That's not true, I'm not sure I can handle it alone with Arya" Lexa stroked Rake's head gently.

M's face grew reddened to hear the praise of the two people before him, but suddenly the look on his face changed like he had just realized or remembered something.

"Ahh yes! You're right Aura. The core"

He then climbed up the lifeless body of the purple centipede while looking back and forth, seeing that Arya and Lexa exchanged a look of astonishment. The two soon followed the little girl.

"Are you looking for something M?" ask Arya curious.

"Mmm...actually—Ah! That's it!"

M moved quickly towards the head of the Colossal Violet Centipede and pulled out something that looked like a purplish-colored ball to Arya. M's eyes twinkled enthusiastically at the thing, he couldn't hide his feelings.

"Well...that's beautiful, what's that thing?" Lexa interrupted as she approached.

"This is the Core of the Colossal Violet Centipede earlier" M thrust the round object at them.

He then explained that there were some Imaginary Animals beings who gathered magic energy without them noticing, the energies gathered and turned solid to form what they called a Core.

The magic content in this Core varies, the older Imaginary Animals will be the greater the magic stored in the Core. This object is commonly used as the main material for making magic tools.

"This is the reason I want to help you find this place hehehe" he concluded with a big smile.

"Ahh so so, doesn't that mean this thing is very valuable?" Lexa stared fixedly at the Core in M's hands.

"So—"

"But M, what do you want to do with the Core? As a magic tool?" Arya immediately asked.

Hearing the question M was silent for a while, he then tilted his head with his forehead slightly frowning "I"

THE HUT!!!

"HUH?!" yelled Arya and Lexa together.

"Ahaha actually Auralah asked me to look for her so—"

"aura? What kind of thing is that?!" Lexa scratched her dizzy head.

As M is engrossed in explaining things to Lexa, Arya sees something that catches her eye. In one of M's bracelets, there is a small beautiful carved inscription that appears to be made of precious stones.

Arya reached for M's right hand to see it more clearly.

"mmm? What's up, brother?" ask M confused.

"M.M" read Arya with narrowed eyes.

"Ahh...exe? This is the initials of my name" M said to answer Arya and Lexa's questioning gaze.

"Then? What's your real name?" Lexa.

"Eee..don't know"

"Huh?! Time name yourself you're not—"

"Lexa?" hold Arya.

Lexa was immediately silent as she felt Arya's gaze change.

"So all this time you didn't even know your real name?"

"Ehehe that's it sister, I call myself M because of the writing on this bracelet and Aura who also always calls me that" he replied innocently.

"Thank God we can still call you by that"

"Hehehe forgive me, brother"

"For what?"

"Because you've introduced yourself well and even helped me but I can't even tell you my own name"

"That's not something to think about" Arya stroked her head gently.

"Thank you for forgiving this forgetful me" he replied with a sincere smile.

After chatting for a while, M finally said goodbye to them. He wanted to immediately bring the Core home and did not want to hold Arya and Lexa for too long to enter the Ice Temple.

"Bye bye!" M waved at the two cheerfully.

The two of them returned the wave as well while saying goodbye, but before it got too far. The girl looked back at them and looked at Arya deeply.

"Sister, whatever path you'll choose later. Big brother will always lose something valuable to big brother, so I thought. I wish we could meet again, Dah....!"

Then the silhouette disappeared in the distance, M's last message was ringing in Arya's head. Whichever path he chooses then...Then? Should he just stop walking?.

"A strange child" Lexa chirped a few minutes later.

"He is not a strange child, the child has a curse in his body" Arya said with her eyes.

"No way, you mean—"

"True, the curse that put him in a state of not being able to remember anything. Even his real name"

------<<>>------

In a dark room there suddenly sounded a sniffing sound, coinciding with it. Appearing the silhouette of someone who was seen trying to stand up straight, he began to put his luggage and took off his clothes one by one.

A dim light seemed to fill the room slowly, the man stepped into a giant mirror there while staring at his reflection. He stood like a statue for a while.

Then frowned softly while holding his head, as it was no longer strong. He immediately sat down and buried his head on the desk there. When the person's breath has started to get regular.

A bright light shone on his body that was without wearing a single piece of clothing, his body parts began to grow at a terrifying speed. The beginning of his form that looked like an eight-year-old child was gone.

Replaced by a woman about twenty years old. When the bright light disappeared, he began to stretch his body as he muttered.

"Hoam"

Just as he said that, a knocking sound rang out from the door of the room. He glanced lazily and allowed the knocker to enter. A girl with white hair and yellow eyes entered the room, wearing black clothes from head to toe.

"Welcome back Nyo—"

"I told you to stop calling me that Morgiana, we're the same age" cut the guy down quickly.

"Eee...but kan—"

"Nothing buts, what's the need?"

"I just felt that you had come back and decided to say hello" Morgiana replied gently.

"Ahh so, I just woke up anyway" replied the original person.

"So...how was your trip?"

"Mmm. Well, I don't know. Wait a minute, I have to put on my clothes first"

After wearing a clean white dress, the person picked up a round-shaped object that was on the table.

"Wah wow it seems like I managed to get the last ingredient to make Confinement Crystal" he said satisfied.

"Heh?! Mean you? When did you go looking for Colossal Violet Centipede?"

"You want to ask me how I won't be able to answer, you know that's Morgiana?"

"Any right, too"

"Hello Aura, how are you? Did you miss me?" he whispered happily.

He pointed his umbrella towards the pile of goods earlier while saying.

"Apotablesma"

The items began to rise into the air and fuse with each other to form a beautiful, purplish-colored crystal. The woman cheerfully took it and smoothed the cheek into the crystal.

"Finally, with this complete already five Magical Tools mine"

"I congratulate you, even if you are the only one who uses more than one Magical Tools" Morgiana smiled awkwardly and could only clench her hands tightly with envy.

Magical Tools are the magic tools used by Wicths to perform their activities. The average magician in general can only use one type of Magical Tools.

However there are some special cases of Witch being able to use more than one Magical Tools, they can use them interchangeably. But the person in front of Morgiana is a different level.

He could use all five types of Magical Tools without the slightest burden, moreover he was the master of one of the Miracles Iris Catra. That is why at this young age, he has a high position among the Witches.

"Ahh yes, I also want to tell you an important information" Morgiana realized from her daydream and just remembered the message she wanted to convey.

"Hmm? What'sthat?"

"We managed to find the whereabouts of the Silver Magician"

The woman immediately stopped her activities, she looked at Morgiana with a facial expression like a starving creature.

"really? Where's she?"

"Underground Paradise"

The woman picked up her umbrella and darted towards the door.

"Eh?! Hey Mary where are you going?!" ask Morgiana gasp.

"Morgiana Lefay, I command you not to tell anyone where I'm going" she said formally.

"A.ap.t.tu..wait a minute! You are Marylin Merlin, one of the Great Witches and the Seven Arcenciel Witch. Orange Witch, where do you think you're going?!"

"That's why I asked you not to tell the others, especially the Great Witches. I'm going to Underground Paradise to pick up the Silver Magician, bye....!"

"Hey wait du—MARY!!!"

Merlin directly slammed the door and darted away, he put on Aura casually as he said.

"Alright Aura, on our way to Underground Paradise. Can you tell me what I'm doing as long as this body shrinks?"

------<<>>------

"It's over" Arya saw a thin layer of ice in the distance.

"Fwuh...finally! Brr....shh why is this place so cold?" Lexa hugged both of her shoulders with trembling hands.

"Of course it's cold, that's why it's called Ice Temple. Wear this"

Arya throws her cloak at Lexa, accepting it but looking reluctant to wear it.

"What about you?"

"You seem to need it more, I'm not cold anyway. Wh why? Don't you like the smell?"

Lexa shook her head quickly and immediately put on Arya's robe, warmth slowly running through her entire body. He started sniffing the robe while laughing wryly.

"Ehehe...aroma in—"

He failed to finish his sentence because he saw Arya who suddenly kept her distance while looking at him with a scared expression. Arya then reached out her hand.

"Eee...After I thought I could ask my robe back, seeing yourself sniffing it like it made me uncomfortable"

"Eh?! Where can it be like that! You want to take back the robe you gave a cold girl?!" push Lexa down.

"Then stop sniffing it with that kind of facial expression!" arya was upset.

Arya pointed her hands towards the thin layer of ice before them, then miraculously the entrance began to melt at an unreasonable speed. Lexa whistled softly seeing that.

"At least the entrance of this place is nicer than the Earth Temple"

"That's just a matter of how to open it" Arya sighed in disbelief.

They entered a high-ceilinged room like the one they both found in Earth Temple, the only difference being that this place was covered with ice everywhere. It is no mistake that this is a contract creation.

"Here I bring your things" Lexa volunteered before being called for help.

"Et! Waitaminute! You... won't sniff out—"

"Of course not! Stupid arya!"

She then immediately moved away with Arya's belongings while putting on a sullen face, Lexa once again turned her head towards the back of astonishment. He hoped Arya would move immediately to make a contract, but it turned out that the boy was just still not moving from where he was.

"What's wrong?"

"eeee....The lexa? How do I do it?"

"Do what?"

"Certainly make a contract!"

"Well?!"

"I don't know how to do it" Arya began to panic.

"If you don't know how I know yourself" Lexa replied casually.

"It's not that you've made a contract with that filthy creature!"

"Stop calling him nekil! It just happened"

"But nothing happened here" Arya protested again.

"YES WHERE DO I KNOW!"

With a little annoyed Arya headed towards the middle of the room while thinking hard, as she remembered the time Lexa made a contract there was a light that just appeared. But why now did that light not appear in this place?.

Confused, he finally decided to sit cross-legged in the middle of the room.

"Now let's think, how to relate to the spirits. Do I have to get my soul out of this body?" his inner.

"Sir, you are too tense, calm yourself" Mandalika reminded slowly.

"As for how I might be able to te—"

"Rileks, you just have to let everything go, as it should" Mandalika added in a soft voice.

Immediately the cold aura coming from Arya's body blows around the room, it makes Lexa more and more close her cloak. Arya's eyes began to light up brightly and her consciousness was no longer in that place.

When he opened his eyes. He is greeted by an all-white sight, Arya starts to circulate the view and stops at one point. There a white wolf stared at her deeply, slowly changing into a beautiful woman.

"Welcome, I'm—"

"My Guide Vision?" cut Arya.

"Truly, introduce my name is Mirianne. To complete my final assignment, I will guide you in the making of the contract, let's follow me"

The woman immediately turned around and stepped gracefully, Arya trailing behind her while trying to digest what was going on.

"Mirianne? Can I ask you something?"

"mmm? Of course what do you want to know?"

"What do you mean by last assignment?" Arya tilted her head in a sign of not understanding.

Mirianne simply smiled then replied softly "I was actually an Elemental Beast before, in other words. Elemental Beast belongs to your mother"
