CHAPTER 7 REINELL
Previous story:
Denis faced Emerta and he lost. Emerta let out a poisonous black fog that paralyzed everyone in the arena. After clearing everything up, he intended to leave. But suddenly a strange barrier appeared. He could not break the barrier and the cause was Marquis Zent, the old man who was almost forgotten by everyone.
***
The marquis raised the magic tool he had in his hand to the sky. "This is a Bomb!" he yelled.
His words made everyone look up in shock.
"When I touch the button, Duar! Everyone in this place will go to hell hehehe"
Some of the trapped nobles looked at Marquis Zent with panicked gazes.
"Marquis Zent you're crazy!"
"What are you doing?!"
Some people threw themselves into the barrier, but their bodies bounced back. Some attacked the barrier with their magic. But their attack magic disappeared upon touching the strange barrier. Some tried to hit and cut, but the barrier was not destroyed at all.
Sayn and Eva also tried to get out but in vain. Even Eva's light magic and dark magic were also absorbed by this strange transparent barrier.
"You're all dead!" The marquis pressed the button without any cue.
Denis quickly hit the Marquis and made the man bounce back. Then Denis quickly took the magic tool. But he couldn't do anything because the button that was pressed couldn't come back. The marquis who saw that only laughed out loud as he wiped the blood in his mouth.
The barrier slowly changed color. The color, which was initially transparent, turned red. And keep blushing. Everyone felt an extremely intense heat as the barrier grew even more red. The barrier was ready to explode.
Denis pulls Jean in and she activates her magic protective gear. Emerta pulled everyone in and started protecting them. Emerta also told everyone to use their protective magic tools. Everyone does everything they can to protect themselves and survive.
But suddenly the red color on the protector faded. And slowly the heat dissipated and the transparent barrier disappeared quickly as well.
Marquis gawking confused. He thought that his magic tool was broken.
"Stupid Man" a voice suddenly echoed. The voice was very calm and cold. Although the owner of the voice did not shout, the echoes of his voice spread all over the place.
Everyone looked up, and saw a foreign figure that was quite shocking to them. Dark skin, pointed and long ears, and shiny silver hair.
"Elf !" some people are screaming.
Ren came on time and heaved a sigh of relief for successfully stopping this stupid fight and saving the person he knew.
***
Prince Erick actually realized something was approaching towards them. They are a group of soldiers. But they were not warriors from the Kingdom of Well or the Kingdom of Kano. Their striking silver armor was a sign that they were not from this region. There was no one in this region who was dressed as lavishly and conspicuously as them.
Prince Erick was worried. He was afraid of dealing with foreign enemies with their numbers quite a lot. He would rather face the soldiers of the Well kingdom than these foreign silver warriors.
He waited for them until their hearts were beating. Soon, the silver army appeared and headed to their camp. But they stopped at the border. A person who looked like his leader advanced towards them along with the two warriors on their horses.
"Greetings respectfully. Forgive us" The leader got off the horse and began to speak politely to Prince Erick.
"Yes?" Prince Erick looked at him with puzzled eyes. "Do you have any business with anyone from our camp?" he asked without a stale word.
"Sorry interfering. Actually we want to ask. Are you from the kingdom of Well?"
Everyone was immediately nervous when they heard the question. Prince Erick too. He did not know whether the people in front of him were enemies or comrades. If they were enemies, he couldn't possibly defeat her because their numbers were too many. If they're friends, maybe he can get them to help the Duke's army fight the Well kingdom. It's possible that Duke has other acquaintances and they're the ones.
"Not" replied the Prince directly. "We are from the kingdom of Albion. I am the prince of the kingdom of Albion. My name is Erick" he said. He chose to look for safety and he did not lie with his identity at all.
Erick deliberately said he was from the kingdom of Albion. The Kingdom of Albion has nothing to do with this civil war. So that they will be considered as neutral parties who do not know anything.
"Albion's?" the other party nodded in confusion. But he changed his attitude quickly. "I'm sorry for our impoliteness, Your Majesty. But why is His Majesty in the royal domain of Well?"
Hah~
Prince Erick let out his breath, as if resigned to something. "I came with my servants to visit the kingdom of Well to offer cooperation on the exchange of resources. But who would have thought that I would be caught in a civil war. Previously, my father and I also visited the Kano kingdom and learned some things in that kingdom" Prince Erick explained cleverly. He mixes lies and truth into one perfectly. "I really have bad luck"
"So it's like that. Sorry to bother Your Majesty. We'll pull ourselves out first"
"Wait first. Who are you and where are you from? What's your relationship with the kingdom of Well?" this time it was Prince Erick's turn to ask.
The leader looked at the two beside him and said, "We are a gathering of saints. Our ancestors were the founders of the sacred temple" he said in a somewhat trusting tone.
Prince Erick is shocked. "Holy temple? The sorcerers of light?" He did not expect that the organization that had perished still existed. And moreover, these hundreds of people were light magicians that were admired all over the world!
"Yes." the leader nodded. "My name is Reinell. I was the leader of this small organization." he took off his warrior helmet and began to formally introduce himself.
"Actually our goal here is to catch a dark witch hiding in Well's kingdom. Based on the information we got, it was this dark witch who caused this civil war to take place. Then we get additional information some dark witches are hiding will also help him" Reinell added. "This is a golden opportunity for us to capture all those demons" he said, not hiding any hatred in his voice.
"Oh..." Prince Erick rolled his eyes awkwardly. "Alright, then may luck be with you" she gave her most beautiful smile. But in his heart, he shouted. "They're enemies!"
