MERCIA
95. Visit the Shadow Temple.

"Uncle Roza, I thought you were gone."

"Mara. I'll leave after I talk to you."

"Uncle.., if this is about Mercia I don't want to talk."

"Mara.., me and Uncle Lor already think of you like our own son, I'm so worried about you."

"I can take care of myself, you don't have to worry uncle.."

"I heard your conversation with him, sorry uncle, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I was outside the mouth of the cave waiting for Famir or Draco to help me down."

"Forget it uncle."

"Rome, I understand how you feel, but if you act like this you'll lose both Mercia and your sister."

"Sister?"

"This token says it, the front side with the dragon carving is you and the back side is your sister."

"Maybe you're saying this isn't fair to you, but have you ever thought that if you were your sister?, she didn't know who she was, she didn't have any powers, you were luckier than her, you were luckier than her, you have the power you know who you are, destiny met him with Mercia, then tested them, your sister was reborn, but her memory was lost. Is that not enough to feel the bitterness of the life he lived?"

Amara just bowed her head.

"Mara. You've grown up all the decisions are in your hands, uncle just wants you not to misstep, uncle leave, take care of yourself."

Amara did not say a word, her eyes glazed over, and the water droplets fell back.

**

Proxima. Sinar city. restaurants.

"i've never traveled this far in my life, thank you for bringing me Isona."

"Elyn, we're friends, your mother's healed, it's time you got to know the world."

"Actually where are we headed?"

"Your mother asked me to visit the shadow temple to meet the head of Vergha."

"Is the temple still far away?"

"We leave at dawn tomorrow, we'll arrive before dusk."

"Are the students there very strong?"

"of course, there's one very strong man he's the son of a Vergha chief named Nevan."

"Is she as strong as Mercia?" ask Elyn.

"Looks."

Unconsciously the chatter of the two of them was heard by a woman who was in front of their table.

'who exactly is this Mercia? this is the third time I have heard his name.'

Suddenly the door of the restaurant was broken down by two women followed by ten men with cruel looks entered.

"The waiter brought us food, they're all going to pay" said one of the women.

"Javelyn, I'll pay for it."

"Hahaha. since when did you pay for your food Zelda?"

The people in the restaurant were shocked and angry, but at once they were terrified when they found out who the two women were.

"Who among you knows of the existence of a man named Mercia?" javelyn said in a loud voice.

Isona and Elyn were surprised, as well as the woman in front of him. Ten men were now staring around, when looking at Isona and Elyn and the woman in front of him, they then approached the three. one of them sat on the table of the woman who was sitting alone.

"You're beautiful and sexy, can I go with you?"

The woman remained silent as she continued to enjoy the food on her desk.

"You two know Mercia?" ask Isona and Elyn.

Elyn looked frightened as someone embraced her.

"Don't bother us, I don't know the guy!" said Isona.

"Hahaha.I never mentioned that person as a man, you take them both." Javelyn ordered.

Some people immediately took Isona and Elyn, Isona tried to fight back, but his strength was less powerful, so they easily tied their hands together.

"How about you beautiful, do you know her?" his hand tried to touch the woman's chin.

Uhh...

Shouted the man when the woman he was teasing suddenly twisted his hand to make a terrible sound on the bone of his arm. did not stop there, the woman then took the chopsticks and stabbed into his throat. the man choked and fell motionless again.

Zelda and Javelyn did not expect that anyone would dare to do such a thing before the two of them, they stared intently at the woman.The people in the room grew increasingly panicked, they finally came out.

"Who are you?" ask Zelda.

"People you don't want to bother." the woman stood looking at Javelyn.

"It seems I've met you."

"Are you talking about your mother?" the woman said calm.

"Women's basis ******.. KILL DIAA..!" javelyn's orders.

One of the nine ruthless men jumped swinging her sword, the woman only shifted half a step to the right, the sword swing only hit the dining table until it split open, the woman quickly grabbed her neck, a red glow flowed from his left hand, the man's body twitched and lit up red before finally becoming red-colored dust.

the other eight men began to look terrified at what had just happened. Zelda continued to stare at the woman a murderous aura seemed to be visible from the look in her eyes.

"Why are you guys quiet?" javelyn snapped at her subordinates.

In front of the remaining people immediately attacked simultaneously.the woman remained silent, they all fared the same, everything became dust when approaching her.

"Who are you really? what does Mercia have to do with you?" ask Zelda?

"My name is Elda, I have nothing to do with Mercia, your people are interfering with my lunch!" he saw Isona and Elyn bound.

"They're my captives don't even think about asking me to let go" Javelyn said as she watched the woman stare at Isona and Elyn.

"I don't know the two of them, but I want to know who Mercia you're looking for?"

"Why do you want to know?" ask Zelda.

"I always hear his name, I want to meet him."

"What do you do when you meet him?" ask Javelyn.

"it's none of your business."

Javelyn clenched her hands, she was furious at Elda's attitude.

"Why don't we just look for him together?" ask Zelda.

Elda took the compass from behind his shirt and watched it for a moment and walked over to Isona and Elyn, Javelyn wanting to block him, but Zelda held him back.

Elda grabbed Isona's shirt and lifted her up.

"Tell me what her features look like?" ask Elda.

Isona silent.

"I just wanted to talk to him, not hurt him" Elda said.

"he's a very strong man, he's handsome-faced, he always defends the weak."

"What is this empty egg..? defending the weak. hahaha.

Elda glanced towards Javelyn.

"What else?" he asked, looking back at Isona.

"I only met him once, which I knew he could heal any wound."

"Where can we find him?" ask Zelda.

"I don't know, he's not from Proxima."

"What?" Javelin looked surprised.

"Is he an elf?" ask Javelyn.

"He's human."

'what is that guy? ah no way, Kallus has already taken his power.' Javelyn thought.

Elda let go of his grip. Then he stepped away.

"You think you can just walk away?" javelyn.

Elda stopped his steps. "Can you just talk?"

Javelyn charged straight towards Elda's stomach with her knees, Elda held back with both palms, that powerful lunge that threw her out. Javelyn continued to attack with fists and kicks alternately, Zelda came out to see the fight.

Isona immediately unleashed her power to untie the bonds in her hands as well as Elyn.

"Elyn this is our chance, let's get the hell out of here."

Elyn nodded, the two of them fleeing through the window of the restaurant that was in that place.

"Is your ability to only evade?" ask Javelyn.

"Are you not able to hit me?" said Elda scoffing.

Javelyn unleashed a blue-colored glowing punch, Elda deflected it with a red radiance coming out from her two fingers.

Duarrr..

The explosion happened both like unaffected, The two were back crashing into each other, Javelyn threw three black needles towards Elda, Elda saw the movement of the needle, he could avoid the first and second needles, he could avoid the first needle, but the third needle pierced his shoulder.

"Akhn..."

Javelyn did not give him a chance to continue attacking Elda, boxing and kicks successfully hit the face, chest and abdomen of Elda, he salted twice to the back and again released his beam blow. Elda did not have time to dodge, he clenched his hands and crossed to deflect the beam.

Duaarr...
