Hogo No Yujin (Protective Friend)
Episode 58– New Friends

Return to where Tanaka and Cat Onirida are. There, Tanaka was unable to stand. His body's all limp. Even when the Cat Onirida let out a shadowy hand and raised Tanaka's body by grasping his tentacles, the man could only resign.

"Ah, can't what? I'm just gonna rest it's not easy." The complaint of Tanaka who wants to sleep is always disturbed by the behavior of Cat Onirida on him.

The cat Onirida looked at Tanaka's face with a smile. "I won again, dong~ said it was strong? But your strength is the same as it used to be."

"I'm just so lazy to fight with you. Bosens. You mulu, you mulu who fought with me." Tanaka looked up and finally he wanted to talk by looking at his opponent. "I don't want to fight a traitor like you. You naughty cat."

"Tch, you won't understand." The cat Onirida throws away its face, then scratches its non-itchy back head.

"That reason again ...."

"You don't know anything about my life!"

"You actually chose the wrong decision. If there's a problem, what's wrong with talking to other members?"

"It's none of your business!" furious with the words Tanaka, the Cat Onirida threw Tanaka's body into the ground until the ground there cracked. He was not listening to anyone anymore because there was no one he could trust right now. The trauma of his past is still there.

Tanaka's body was not moving. But he still wakes up. Then shortly thereafter, the ground under Tanaka also let out a great shock to make the Cat Onirida sit down.

When she felt the shock, Tanaka just smiled and started to close his eyes. "Finally came too. Now I can sleep safely." He muttered before he ended up unconscious.

"What is this a–ada?!" The Cat Onirida got back up, then avoided the shaking ground. Soon enough, the ground around Tanaka showed a great crack that made a huge hole that made Tanaka's body look like it was swallowed by the earth. Get into the ground.

The cat Onirida was shocked. He wanted to check into the hole and look for Oniroshi, whom he defeated. But suddenly, the hole was covered with ground again. Cat Onirids have lost their prey. He becomes very angry and will finish off anyone who has disturbed him.

Never to meet the hidden assailant, Onirida Cat was attacked by a sudden sandstorm. The storm made her vision blurry. When I opened my eyes, it felt so painful. So rather than walk on land, the Cat Onirida decided to jump high and avoid the storm.

From above the sky, he saw a human being in the midst of the storm. The cat Onirida landed back on the ground, and before long the sandstorm slowly disappeared and formed a ball that grew longer, smaller in size. The figure that the Cat Onirida saw was beginning to look clear.

It turned out that that person was a young man of Tanaka's age who was an Oniroshi with the elements of Earth and Wind. Not only that. There was a girl who joined in as well. Adorable teenage girl who uses natural elements and her ability to communicate with animals. Right now, the girl was riding on a tiger that she could tame easily.

Due to her territory close to the forest, the girl's strength increased. She quickly ran to the Cat Onirida, then the girl pointed her hand forward and the ground shook again.

Sensing something bad was about to happen, the Cat Onirida decided to leave the place. Suddenly, he felt someone touch his shoulder. As he looked back, the creature saw a man waving at him, then quickly punching his face until his body fell down.

Then before long, a swarm of thorny roots shot out from within the ground and instantly wrapped around the entire body of the Cat Onyrid. The creature rebelled to escape. But the more he moves, the more pain will increase due to being pierced by thorns in the roots.

Feeling that she had been caught and unable to fight back because she had been seriously injured, Onirida the Cat decided to flee. He still did not know any information from the two Oniroshi he had just met. And then he will back off first.

"You won today. But I will not give up on avenging you!" the Cat Onirida shouted, then her body let out a lot of black smoke and instantly, her body disappeared along with the smoke.

The girl and the Oniroshi Man heaved a sigh of relief, then looked at each other and smiled happily. Soon, someone came out of the forest. That person was Fely who was treating Tanaka with his red thread.

"He's gone?" fely asked while chuckling around looking for a dangerous figure earlier.

Oniroshi's man nodded. Then the girl beside him waved at the Tiger who had helped him. The beast went to its habitat.

"Annu ..." Fely himself had just met the two people. He did not know what to call her. So to make it easier, the two Oniroshi began to introduce themselves.

"I'm Zaidan. Then this is my friend Lea." The man also allowed the girl who was much younger than him. The girl just waved, then said, "Friend Zai, is my friend as well. Salken."

"Ah, salken too. Call me Fely. By the way .. You two are so great!"

"Yes because we were trained by our teacher." Zain replied while scratching his head. Then Lea continued. "By the way .. have you guys seen our teacher? We came out of hiding to look for him."

"Teacher said he felt a great power outside. So he decided to go."

"But I'm not coming back."

"I'm so worried!"

"Me too!"

Zai and Lea looked compact in speaking. They're like twins. Fely who knew nothing just nodded. Actually, he doesn't understand either. Then shortly after, someone behind Fely approached Zai and Lea. Both were surprised to see it.

"Eh?! Divan?" asked Zai with a surprised expression. Then Leah followed along and again they both asked the same question. "Kok you're here?"

"Eh? You guys know each other?" ask Fely.

Zai and Lea nodded compactly. Then the girl replied, "He's our teacher's darling."

Soon, he opened it again and asked his three new friends questions. "Anu .. Who is your teacher and where is she?"

"Ah, you don't know?" Zai asked back, but Lea answered him. "He's the strongest Oniroshi of all!"

"Eh?! Then where is he now?"

"Hmm .. When I was in town I felt the aura. But since I got here, I don't feel it anymore. It's weird." Divan touched the chin.

"She .. was at school," Tanaka who was sleeping behind Fely began to let out her voice. Everyone did not know what Tanaka said was true or not. But after Fely remembered, he seemed to forget something important.

"Oh, yes! Dylan!!" Fely recalls her sister being in danger at school. He invited everyone to go to his sister's school to help everyone there. Fely hopes his sister is still fine there. Because he knew that Dylan's closeness with Takana was very bad for his sister.

...****************...

While at school, Oni Lucid was still busy fighting Irvan in her bad fashion. They were solo and nobody helped him. The others could only pay attention to the drastic changes happening to Irvan. The man looked great in Takana's eyes and he was completely amazed by his friend's new strength.

Irvan used her full strength with skill and occasionally physically attacked using her weapon. By now, he had completely overwhelmed Lucid and by this time, Oni It had already started to get seriously injured from the attack from the brutal Irvan.

The man could not stand still before his opponent completely collapsed. He just kept attacking and hitting his opponent. But Lucid himself could not hit Irvan because his opponent was moving as fast as lightning due to the help of his lightning element.

After making his opponent fall due to lack of balance, Irvan went to face the front of the Oni Itu, then used both of his kris to make a final attack. His knife eye he friction and instantly appeared a strong flow of electricity enveloped the weapon and the body of the user.

"Naizashi." Irvan uttered the name of his nurse, then with lightning fast, his body approached Lucid then disappeared and appeared again with a position behind his opponent.

Everyone who saw that still stared. Lucid's body didn't happen. But suddenly, Oni It felt a tremendous pain then before long, his body was burned by a strong flow of electricity hitting his body. It turned out that without him noticing, an Irvan dagger had stuck into his back and channeled that great electrical power.

Not only that, Lucid's right hand touched his chest and instantly his mouth spit out blood, coupled with a large torn wound there. His body had been flooded with blood and before long, the creature instantly fell on the spot. Everyone was shocked to see her, including her sister Lucid who was angry to see her brother dying.

Then he quickly took out the many Mochi Bombs he had formed, then threw them towards Irvan. The bluish-yellow-haired man immediately glanced sharply at Lucia. He quickly moved towards the next opponent. Even her swift horn, Lucia could not see her movements and suddenly appeared behind her.

Quickly, Irvan stabbed Lucia in the back with his weapon. The woman grimaced in pain and directly attacked Irvan. But because his attack never hit, he formed a Mochi Bomb and was immediately thrown in place. The mochi exploded. But it only gave off a very bright and dazzling light.

After the light disappeared, Dylan and Bell who were close to the Demon girl earlier were surprised because they did not find the existence of the dangerous creature earlier. Takana's down there too. He had not seen Lucid's body and only left a puddle of fresh blood in the middle of the field.

"He .. fled." Takana muttering. Then he looked up and saw the clear sky again. It was not as dark cloudy as before and it seemed as well, the barrier that the twin Devils had created earlier had disappeared. Now everyone can get out of the school environment.

But when Takana was attentive, there were some disciples lying unconscious on the ground. It seemed like they were no longer possessed by the strange black squid that was plaguing their minds. But when it is thought that everything is safe, Takana is shocked by the sound of an explosion from the top of building three. That's where Dylan and Bell are.

To check it out, Takana quickly enters the third building and climbs the floor until he can get to the roof.

While on the roof, it turns out that the attack was the work of Irvan who still uses the same power. But now, he's getting out of control. All those who live near him, he will disappear right now. Dylan and Bell had no idea what had happened to their friend.

"I–Irvan? You're okay, right?" Just as Bell wanted to touch the man, Dylan suddenly pushed him because Irvan wanted to attack Bell as well. The two of them fell together and began to be cornered. While in front of them, Irvan even a horrifying look on his face began to prepare his weapon.

"Naiza–"

"Eit, eit, eit .. not as fast as it~"

A woman's voice was heard. Then suddenly some ice walls appeared before Dylan and Bell as if to protect them.

Irvan stopped his attack after seeing the ice wall. Now it was getting colder than before. Irvan glanced around and he felt a great power nearby. But he did not know it yet, suddenly appeared chunks of ice from under his feet and immediately trapped him. Half of Irvan's body was covered in frozen ice and he could not move anywhere. His gun also fell from his grasp. The man could only rebel.

Dylan was curious as to the origin of the ice attack. Then before long, he heard the sound of the feet walking towards him. From the right side, Dylan saw an adult woman dressed in all-white approaching Irvan who was still trapped in the ice. Then the woman touched Irvan's nape and looked at her face.

"You've reached your limit. So don't push yourself, will you?" The woman slid Irvan's neck with her long nails. Then before long, Irvan's body began to calm down. The woman let go and hugged the man's body. Lay him in place and let his thighs be a pillow for Irvan to rest.

Shortly after, the roof door opened. Takana has finally arrived. His breath was puffing as he ran up the stairs. But after seeing the all-white woman, his eyes immediately widened in shock and pointed.

"Ka–kau kan ... THE STRONGEST ONIROSHI ALIVE!"
