Slowly, Mara's eyes opened. He found himself in a very white room and his entire body was covered in bandages. His eyeballs glanced around then he pensively momentarily.
"This...., the hospital? my body feels heavy, "inner Mara.
Mara can only move her eyes, head, mouth and a few fingers. Then he looked around again. Mara tried to move her head to look to the right. To his right was Darius sleeping in a chair. Darius slept with his back against the wall, his hands crossed and his head bowed down.
Darius' presence was enough to surprise Mara. Mara had no idea why Darius was in her nursery. Especially now that he was asleep right next to her.
"Why is he here? what the hell happened to me?" inner Mara.
Mara could not remember well the incident that happened to her, all she remembered was her burned body. He forgot the cause that had made his body until it became like this. Mara looked back at Darius, right at the table next to Darius. There are many foods and potions that have been arranged neatly.
"All that food and potion, for me?"
Suddenly Mara felt very dizzy.
The dizziness was felt for a few minutes, along with the loss of dizziness.
Mara again remembered what had happened to her, so she had to lie in a hospital bed. All the events during the training he remembered clearly.
"I've failed. I'm sorry, brother. I've disappointed you. I failed to punish Darius Hunt."
Mara realized her failure but in her heart there was no disappointment at all, there was only a sense of relief. He wondered, why did he not feel disappointment? he failed to carry out his mission.
It was as if his failure was the right thing for him. He doesn't know what makes him feel that way.
"What happened to me? I failed, but I am relieved. Why?" batin Mara glanced at Darius.
"That young man, who is he really?"
Darius began to wake up, he yawned and stretched his body for a moment. He immediately looked at Mara who was already awake.
"Mara, you're conscious. Thank goodness" said Darius.
"Have you brought me here?" ask Mara.
"The medical team brought you here. I was just helping them to get you into the beast called the ambulance" Darius replied.
"he? an animal? he seriously said that?"
Mara was astonished.
"Ambulance car is a vehicle" said Mara.
"Oh....., really? in this day and age vehicles seem foreign to me" replied Darius.
"This age? whatchu mean? where are you from?" ask Mara.
"Oh.., about that. You'll find it hard to believe" replied Darius.
Darius was getting closer to Mara. He seemed to want to say something very serious.
"As a fellow Hunt. I hope you can believe this" said Darius.
"Who are you?"
Mara was curious. Darius had repeatedly surprised himself. They range from his unusual powers to the strange feelings Mara feels when Darius saves her. Mara is very curious, who exactly is this male Hunt.
"I am the Commander of the golden knight group from the Ezius royal era. As well as the brother of the figure you uphold the greatness of magic, namely Drake Hunt."
Mara's eyes were wide. This was a pretty surprising answer for him.
"Sister of Drake Hunt? are you seriously saying that? you're not drunk, are you?" ask Mara streak. He did not expect Darius to say that.
"It's hard to believe, isn't it? that's why I hesitated to say it directly" Darius said.
The nuances instantly changed drastically.
"In the history of Hunt, it is written the name of Darius. However, he was said to be the most trusted subordinate of His Majesty Drake Hunt before he became a master of magic. After all, it's been 400 years. There's no way Darius is alive" Mara explained.
Darius was somewhat flinched, having known that in Hunt's history he was said to be a subordinate, not the older brother of Drake.
Mara also tells that the figure of Darius is still a mystery and no one knows who he is. There is no evidence in history that Darius was from Hunt.
"The figure of Darius is said to be a great Commander who managed to defeat the Dark Lord along with his golden knight group.
But there is no historical evidence to suggest that he was a Hunt or the older brother of His Majesty Drake and I cannot yet believe that he was you" Mara said at length.
Darius was chin-backed for a moment, having heard all the explanations from Mara.
"The history of the war against the Dark Lord has not changed. In that history, my first name is listed well. But why isn't my last name?" inner Darius.
Darius looked back at Mara.
"So, is that what history says about me?" ask Darius.
"That's exactly what its history is and you can't possibly be the Darius that history refers to" Mara replied.
"What else does history say about Darius?" ask Darius a second time.
"Darius was a distinguished commander. Be it in the kingdom of Ezius or in any other kingdom..."
Mara tells what the figure of Darius in history before Drake Hunt served as ruler of the kingdom of Ezius as well as the first Master of magic.
He told me everything in detail. Darius smiled at Mara who continued to tell stories without realizing that the person she was telling was in front of her.
"The amazing thing I remember most about Darius is that he is able to fight an enemy ten times bigger than him and is able to split a meteor with one slash" Mara explained. The history that Mara explains is in Chapter 1.
"You like the sword knight apparently," said Darius.
"Don't misunderstand me. I was amazed at him because thanks to him His Majesty Drake was able to be saved from the threat of the Dark Lord and be able to become the successor of King Reivan. That's it," said Mara.
NGIIYING..!!!!! (alarm warning beeping).
A warning alarm sounded while the two of them were talking.
..."The warning..! the monster Pyroberus entered the city. Once again, the monster figure of Pyroberus (giant fire dog) entered the city."...
"Sadly, apparently the monster appeared here. Mara, we have to leave immediately" said Darius.
Quickly he carried Mara and went out. Patients and hospital visitors flocked to save themselves. At the exit, they crammed into each other. Calling for a turn to get out. Darius had trouble getting through them.
"There is no other way" said Darius.
Bluarru!!!
Darius smashed the wall nearby. Creating your own way out. He came out through the wall he had destroyed. The Pyroberus monster is getting closer to the hospital. The monster spouted hot material in all directions. Created a huge fire in the Tideo city neighborhood.
In precarious conditions. Raven came by her car. He intends to pick up his master. Darius came running to Raven.
"Are you okay?" ask Raven.
"I'm doing fine. Raven I'm taking him."
Darius hands Mara over to Raven.
"Alright, your weapons have been prepared in the back," said Raven.
Raven opened the trunk of her car. Inside was a sword that became a friend in the war for Darius.
"Thank you."
Darius took his sword and went straight to the monster Pyroberus. Mara who saw Darius' action was stunned.
"Hey, are you crazy?! approaching the monster alone is suicidal..! hey..!"
Mara shouted with all her might, but Darius paid no heed to her. Raven got in the car. He starts driving his car and takes Mara to safety.
"What about him (Darius)? he'll die if we leave him, '" Mara asked.
"He'll be fine, believe me," Raven replied.
Mara does not understand Raven's line of thought that allows a knight to advance alone against Pyroberus. They also arrived at the exit gate. But when he was about to get out of the hospital area, suddenly the road was blocked by fire. Raven had to stop.
"The vehicle won't pass, we have to get out" Raven said.
Raven helps Mara to get out of the car and find another way out. Meanwhile, the Pyroberus monster is getting more and more brutal. The monster started to do something big. He gathered all his strength in the sky. All the hot rocks and the burning fire mixed into one. Creating a meteor that can cause large-scale destruction.
"GRAAA...!!!"
Pyroberus roared loudly and immediately launched his meteor. Mara was shocked to see this. There are still many people who are within the range of the meteor attack, including himself. There will be a lot of casualties if the meteor hits the ground.
"We need to get out of here....!"
Mara was panicking. He doesn't know where to run. The range of the meteor strike was simply too large and vast. It was impossible for him to escape from that gigantic meteor.
"Don't panic. Trust this to him (Darius)," Raven said.
"What do you mean....?! soon the meteor will hit us and you tell me to calm down..?!"
Mara's panic is growing.
"Look carefully" said Raven, pointing to someone in the distance.
Mara watched where Raven pointed. Darius was in the area of the meteor crash. Darius drew his sword towards the meteor directly above him. Mara doesn't think Darius will be there.
"Darius, what's he doing?" mara's inner self, who was observing Darius from afar.
Darius put up the horses and took a deep breath. He concentrated all his concentration and power in one blade of the sword. The sword he held was red. It was seen that a black aura had reappeared on his hand that was grasping a sword. Darius knew about it.
"I don't know where this black aura came from. The most important thing right now..."
Darius jumped high into the sky, blocking the meteor.
"I...."
He took a proper swing to swing his sword. The meteor was getting closer to him.
"I should be able to break this big rock."
Kinggg!!!! 3× (slash voice).
Darius swung his sword, slashing the giant meteor along with the monster Pyroberus.
In one blink of an eye, the meteor turned into tiny scattered pieces while the Pyroberus monster split into two. Mara watched it until she forgot to blink.
"Thank God I could destroy that meteor. But for the umpteenth time, I was overrated. It is very difficult to control this power. For now it may be okay," said Darius.
To be honest, he accidentally slashed the Pyroberus monster into two. Darius intends to fight the monster after destroying the meteor, but instead this is the case. That's beyond his estimate.
Meanwhile. Mara was still deeply stunned by the events she witnessed. He recalled the figure of Darius in history. Darius led the golden knight group. Darius was able to split the meteor with a single slash. Now he was seeing the figure of Darius himself in front of his eyes.
Darius who had finished cleaning up the monsters, immediately came to Mara and Raven.
"You okay?" ask Darius.
"I. i. yes," answered Mara nervously.
"Thank God then."
Darius rubbed Mara's still dumbfounded head. Then I looked at Mara's face.
"Well... Mara, do I look like the Darius you told me about?" ask Darius.
..."The amazing thing I remember from this Darius figure is that he was able to fight an enemy ten times bigger than him and he was able to split a meteor with a single slash."...
...Mara said a few minutes ago....
"Yes, ssss, I've been" Mara replied, full of gloom on her tongue.
Seriate.......
