MERCIA
63. Nyx Help.

"Lady Minerva your sister and a man want to see you" said a waiter.

"Comeone? Oswyn?"

"we don't know him."

"let them in."

Freya and August enter the room with a guard. August observes Minerva, a domineering, mystical, cold, and cruel aura mingling with him. Minerva did the same, too, observing August intently.

'Who is this guy? she was so different, only this time did I meet a man who dared to look me in the eye' Minerva thought.

"Is this guy your girlfriend, Freya?" ask Minerva.

Freya unexpectedly got the question, before she replied August suddenly stood beside her embracing her waist, making Freya's face flushed red.

"How do you know?" ask August.

'Fuck, how did Freya get this guy?' Minerva was a little upset, but she didn't show it.

"What do you mean you're meeting me?" ask Minerva.

"Sister., I want you to free both of his friends" Freya said.

"his friends?" Minerva was a little confused.

"an elf and an Armeda." August added.

"Hahaha... So you two pretending to be lovers are asking me to free them both?"

"Quite, I as your sister will remind you one last time."

Brakk..!

Minerva hit the table, she was furious at Freya's words.

"you're challenging me Freya?" ask Minerva.

"If that's the last way."

Minerva snapped her finger, and Aruna appeared to walk and stand beside Minerva. August was surprised to see the change in events, Aruna seemed to not recognize him.

"Are you surprised? Armeda is already my guard dog. hahaha."

"Minerva what have you done?" August clenched his hand.

While it was still in the black castle area of the other side, Helena managed to enter the underground holding room, the dozens of guards she managed to disable. Helena checked one by one and finally found Sylvana. Sylvana looked furious at Helena's arrival.

Helena brought her wand closer to the chain that bound Sylvana, the chain disappeared, and, Sylvana who had been freed with a quick movement of a bow with a rope and an arrow made of gold-colored light appeared in her hand, she then pointed it at Helena's neck.

"The damned woman you saved, but you paid her back badly" Sylvana said.

"Calm down.., I know I'm wrong, but right now we're on the same side, me, Mercia and Freya will avenge you both."

"Why should I trust you?" ask Sylvana.

"i already know who he is, I'll be standing next to him" Helena said.

Sylvana loosened her arrows, as soon as the arrow and bowstring disappeared again.

"where's your friend?" ask Helena.

"The devil woman ruined her mind."

"Dam.. Mercia's in danger" Helena said.

"what do you mean? where's Mercia?" ask Sylvana.

"meeting Minerva, she must have ordered your friend to kill her."

"Quickly we'll catch them" said Helena.

August stared intently at Minerva, making Freya very worried.

"settle down Mercia" said Freya.

August did not speak to Freya, he lunged at Minerva with his fists, only less than two meters away a hand caught his fist, stopping August's movement.

"Yin..!" not yet over the shock Aruna kicked hard August's stomach with his right leg, making August bounce a few steps back.all happened so quickly

"Hahaha.this is very interesting.You kill that man..!" minerva's orders to Aruna.

Minerva moves her fingers through her hands a portal appears behind August as Aruna lunges towards him. August bounces back and enters the portal and so does Aruna.

"Now we're both left are you sure you still want to challenge me Freya?"

"as long as you're still hurting others I'll challenge you."

"do you remember those people who hurt us, no one wanted to help dad, mom who ended up getting them both killed."

"Do you know what I've sacrificed to take care of you? prevent them from hurting you! and you want to challenge me now?" minerva.

"Sister., you've been living in hatred all this time.You've grown tired of looking after me, take a break.., let me take care of you this time" Freya said.

"What are you waiting for Minerva is the time.!"

A woman's voice echoed in the room. As Minerva was pale at the sound, she seemed to know who the owner of the voice was, Minerva approached Freya.

"Freya get out of here, before it's too late." Minerva half whispered.

Knowing something's wrong Freya's getting more alert.

"So you want to betray me Minerva?"

the woman's voice sounded again.

"Then you will die with him." threatened the voice.

Minerva and Freya pose a threat to each other's backs, guarding each other.

"Who is he?" ask Freya.

"Gessora, my teacher she wants me to kill you, she wants to drink your blood" Minerva said.

"Drinking my blood?" Freya surprised.

"he had to drink the blood of a hundred white magicians to perfect his power, he needed one more person, and you were the last person he targeted."

Suddenly the door of the room broke down, Minerva and Freya looked towards the door that Helena and Sylvana appeared. Sylvana immediately pointed her arrow at Minerva but Helena prevented it, Minerva herself was surprised to see the two of them, but her concentration returned

to Gessora whose figure was yet to be seen.

"Wait..!" said Helena.

"You can't stop me from killing that demonic woman" Sylvana said.

"Look at them something's going on."

Sylvana observed Freya and Minerva as their eyes swept around the magnificent but slightly dark room on the ceiling, as if they were indifferent to her arrival. Sylvana increased her inner strength, on her forehead began to appear a red crescent-like mark with both of her pointed sides facing upwards.

"There's a huge energy force" Sylvana said

then closed his eyes for a moment, without opening his eyes he lifted his bow and pointed it to a point on the ceiling of the room quickly.

Wuutts...

On the other side of proxima a portal created a man bouncing out of the portal as if he had been lashed something, the man was August, August, shortly afterwards Aruna also appeared from behind the portal and after that the portal was closed and disappeared.

In August's mind he began to think of Aruna's question a few days ago.'Your power is immense, but are you capable of killing me?'

"Suck..!" August is angry, but his anger is not directed at Aruna but Minerva, the person who made Aruna suffer.

"Aruna realize, it's me August. I know you're still in there."

Aruna was not affected by August's words, he continued to attack, August only dodged or repelled, he was completely unable to reply, but he continued to speak to resuscitate Aruna. Aruna suddenly stopped his attack, August immediately saw a glimmer of hope, but it did not last long.

"Aruna are you conscious?" ask August.

"Now whether you can still dodge" said Aruna in her right hand appeared a golden spear.

'fuck it. Finally the golden spear appeared.' August began to be extra vigilant, he knew the ability of the spear, he also increased his energy, irony now precisely he had to face the golden spear.

Aruna swung her golden spear, a yellow beam shot out from the tip of the spear's eye towards August, he dodged by jumping into the air.

Zap. blast...

the yellow beam hit the tree trunk, there was no explosion but the tree instantly turned into wood powder.

'I can't fend it off with my shield, it would be dangerous to turn around, damn what should I do?' think August.

Aruna did not stop his attack, when he saw August jump into the air, he stretched his hand to the side of his golden spear floating in front of his chest and then as if it was split into two pieces of the same size, the size of the same size, Aruna again grabbed one of the spears and let the other one stay afloat, the still-floating spear split into dozens or even hundreds of small spears then shot towards August, while the spear in his grasp continued to emit rays attacking August blindly.

Wuss. wuss. zap..

August avoided the light and the little spear that followed him, until a single beam struck his chest, causing him to bounce against a tree, causing it to disintegrate. August spewed blood, it felt like he was hit by a high-speed truck.

'If not Pendragon's upholstery shirt maybe my chest is broken he thought, August tried to neutralize the pain, but dozens of small spears now move quickly surrounded and ready to hit his body, August was not able to dodge, he said, he raised his left hand to protect his head.

A triangular shield appeared and then suddenly a golden dragon came out from inside the shield protecting August by holding back the small spear and the light that was pointing at him.

tret.tret.. DUARR..

The sound of sparks, and metal clangs rang out as dozens of spears hit the dragon's body, as well as the dragon's body, while the big explosion occurred because from the mouth of the dragon came a large golden beam that collided with a dozen rays from the golden spear.

August was shocked to see what was happening, he did not know how the golden dragon had emerged from his shield, he saw Aruna bounce tens of meters motionless.

"Yin...!" august shouted he tried to get up but still felt heavy because of the wound on his chest.

"He just fainted, heal yourself, you just healed him." the dragon spoke.

August was surprised. "who are you? how did you get in my shield?"

"I'm Nyx, I'm the last thing Pendragon can't have."

"Is not Pendragon the king of the dragons?" august asked as he poured healing energy into his chest and the pain finally slowly disappeared.

"Yes, but in time his golden dragon suit was newly formed and rudimentary, now that the battle suit is on you and it's perfect, my power can be fused, and you are my master I will take care of you." Nyx.

"You haven't answered how you got inside my shield?" august asked and rose with a single jump he was already beside the unconscious Aruna.The golden dragon still followed August.

"The daughter of the dragons brought me to you" Nyx said.

"Daughter of the dragons?" August surprised.

"Is Amara what you mean?"

"True, he is one of the descendants of the pendragon" Nyx said.

'so Amara is a descendant of Pendragon, before I knew if Lyra was a descendant of Calanis, would I have met one of the other three master descendants of the owner of that crystal power?' think August.

"do you know how to treat his mind as a result of that magic?" ask August.

The golden dragon flew around Aruna's body and opened its mouth a thin golden smoke began to envelop Aruna.

"once the smoke is gone you can heal the wound I'll be back in your shield, you can call me by saying my name."

"Alright, thank you Nyx."

The golden dragon flew back up and disappeared leaving behind a trace of golden dust.

'Mara the more I know you the more you look awesome.' August thought with a thin smile in sight, but that smile disappeared again when he remembered Amara's words about his blindness were due to a fight with a woman with a spear. August is very worried if they fight back to whom he will side, Aruna or Amara? inner raging.
