"Hahhh.. huh.... huhh...."
Already thousands of miles Kaleena ran without rest while carrying Mio on her back.
Even though the woman had also not rested at all since leaving the Levana Empire, she kept on spurring her legs to continue running nonstop. Several times the woman's leg was sprained to the point of breaking, but she did not relax her speed. Every time her legs were in trouble, the woman slashed her own legs until her legs grew back so she could keep running nonstop.
Painful indeed. But not being able to do anything even if his family was cruelly killed was much more painful.
Other than because his sister was dying and in need of help, the reason he continued to run without rest even a moment was because...
"Did you see this woman?" ask a man in golden white armor to the villagers while showing a paper with a picture of a woman's face.
"No.. What is it, sir knight? Did this girl do anything?"
"He's fugitive! Fugitives with the highest crime rate. If you see him, call us immediately! And if anyone dares to hide or help him, then they will become enemies of the Sacred Continent!"
The reply from the knight made the villagers shudder in horror. They nodded in fear and planted the words of the knight in their hearts so that they would not fall into danger.
"Damn it! They're so fast! It had only been 2 days since it had spread in the Magic Continent," the inner being of a brown-robed woman was irritated.
The woman lowered the same-robed kitsune girl who was her sister under the tree. With that woman's skill, she made the trees cover their bodies and auras.
Currently the dryad woman was in the southeast of the Magic Continent. His destination which was by the sea required him to go quite far from his initial position. Maintaining an Epic level magic that could freeze time in a small area for a long time depleted his mana. Kaleena several times forced to kill plants that he should have protected by being sucked his life force to be used as mana.
The woman could hear the screams of the plants in pain or that railed against her actions, yet she did not care about it at all now. Although the plants were his friends, he was willing to kill them in order to save his sister.
"My guess is right. Who would have thought that mad whale was doing something so strange that one empire teleported to the eastern end of the Sacred Continent!" inner Kaleena.
"It's good that there are no casualties, so Mio is not billed with divine punishment. But that jala*g immediately branded us as the highest level of fugitives to be taken alive or dead! To his astonishment, exactly where did that woman get such great strength from!? Teleporting those 1 empires included Mythic level magic!! That woman is just a creature within the limits, actually how is it going!!?"
BUUUUGGGHHHH
Kaleena hit the tree next to her until her hand was hurt.
"Son, that doesn't matter now. Importantly, that woman had such hidden strength that she could use Mythic-level magic, she was indeed dangerous! I must get to his place immediately!"
"Right now, the only one who can protect us from that madman is just him!"
Kaleena stopped resting even though she had not taken off Mio for 15 minutes. He immediately carried Mio again on his back and again ran straight to the southeast. Kaleena herself has never met anyone who might be able to help her. Only, his master had once told him...
"Kaleena. If someday after I'm gone, you run into trouble or one of you is seriously injured and needs protection. There will be someone who can help you. He was an awkward and dishonest person, yet he was a good person. If you say you're my students, he'll definitely help you."
"He who's the master?"
The Great Witch smiled, "He is my teacher."
It was her master's message that Kaleena's last hope was to save her sister. If he was alone, then Kaleena wouldn't have made it this far. Because Kaleena can turn into a tree completely and experience the condition of "sleep" for a long time. Long enough for people to forget about him. But that means he ran away alone. And he didn't want that at all.
"Hold a little more, Mio. We'll be there soon! To the master's place!"

Arc-Angel Palace, Floating Continent
The anxiety that enveloped the palace of these angels never subsided. How not? One of the four remaining Arc-Angel has not yet opened its eyes. Another Arc-Angel had silenced the mouths of the angels in the palace so that the anxiety did not come out, although the result made the angels inside even more anxious.
"It's been more than 3 days...when will Lucy wake up?" said Gabriel worried.
"He's not gonna die, is he?"
"Hush!!! You're it!!! Yes, Arc-Angel can die just because it runs out of mana. Anyway Ury and I have filled it back up!" raphael was a little angry.
"Then why isn't Lucy awake????" gabriel Mewek.
"That-that's..."
Seeing the anxiety of his two sisters, Uriel only pensively looked at Luciel who was asleep in his dream.
"Lucy won't do anything. Don't worry so much. He's strong, he's Arc-Angel's strongest after Azrael, right?"
"Rather than taking care of something like that, it's better to turn your mind to something else" Uriel said.
"?"
"What thing?"
Uriel glanced out the window of her room. "Something Lucy cares about."
Raphael thought for a moment, then he realized Uriel's intent.
"Ah, that boy!?"
"Yes" nods Uriel.
"That kid..he's the one who made trouble with the Sacred Continent and became a fugitive, right?" timpal Gabriel is not happy.
It's not that he hates Mio or anything like that. It was just that he did not like the fact that the artificial spirit beast made his sister willing to do this kind of reckless thing.
"Why with the kid?"
Uriel sipped her tea, "If this continues, sooner or later the boy will be captured by the Anessa Empire."
"Why indeed? That's none of our business" Raphael replied honestly.
It was cruel, but what Raphael said was true. Ordinary angels were forbidden from engaging in human affairs and similar races, let alone Arc-Angel who was their leader. They must be so cold to maintain the balance of the world.
TUKS
Uriel put back the tea cup. "You sure? If that kid gets caught, we don't know what kind of reckless thing this stupid sister is gonna do."
"Well..."
Instantly the three looked at Luciel who was lying on the bed with tired eyes. Were it not for Luciel, how could they have bothered to think of a being within the boundary who would not have been involved with them as long as they had not broken through.
"But the kid's been through, right?"
"Yes indeed, the child who had just broken through so directly using Mythic-level magic alone despite not having the blessing of a hero like his teacher, I'm sure his body and soul were destroyed."
"meaning?"
"I mean it could be that his power is damaged or even completely lost. Worst possibility.The girl could not use magic anymore because the flow of mana was permanently damaged or her level dropped considerably."
"Why don't you think death is the worst possibility?"
"He won't die."
"Much pede, can you ask?"
"Not going to."
Gabriel and Raphael were upset that Uriel was so confident.
"Why is that impossible!!?"
Uriel let out a small sigh, "Have you forgotten? Someone who will definitely help them because of their relationship with the Great Witch?"
Gabriel and Raphael fell silent for a moment, thinking about who Uriel meant.
"Don't say!?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"The only creature that sided with the child (Great Magician) when he was just about to arrive in this world. The only creature that did not discriminate against any race was at once the guardian of Demetria. And the only person called Master by the woman who defeated the demon lord."
"The man will definitely save the girl at any cost" Uriel said.
"True, if it was him, it would have been safe. Although I don't know how it will be," said Raphael
"What's the matter how the dying man went to that man's place?" ask Gabriel.
"Easy, Lucy already predicted this. That was why he sent a letter to the first disciple of the Great Witch who was in the Levana Empire back then. Not for the sake of saving the little Kingdom, but for the sake of saving the child and bringing it to that person because Lucy knew that the Great Witch must have told the location of that person to her disciples," Uriel replied.
"Lucy predicted all that and did it in such a short time!!?? Great!!!!"
"Well, because he was ignorant, careless and reckless, we are often made to forget that he was one of the first 3 Arc-Angel that had power, he said, intelligence and experience higher than ours."
"Pufftt.. hahahahahaha, really."
"Alright, back to the topic. We can leave the kid's business to that guy, even if he breaks the law because of it, it's none of our business."
Uriel brushed Luciel's hair gently. "All we have to do is for Lucy not to act rashly once she wakes up and is still within the bounds of the law so we don't get punished is help ensure the Anessa Empire can't find the child."
"OK!!!!"
