Princess Seraphina
CHAPTRE 22

The weather turned cloudy, enveloping the sky with darkness. That is what is seen from the eyes of humans, including Safy. Although unable to see it, Safy can feel the changes in energy flowing. In the middle of the dark night, Seraphina stood outside the house, observing for three hours. After making sure that there were no strange events, he decided to take a break.

That night, the air felt hot like daylight, even though the sky was overcast. People are also curious about this phenomenon. One of the people interested in finding information is Dina, Seraphina's co-worker. He did a search on the internet and found a notification from a site. It shows that cloudy clouds release heat energy located not far from the surface, which causes a rise in temperature. Even so, Dina still felt something strange, because the heat from the clouds made the skin feel like it was exposed to fire. With her phone, Dina sent Seraphina a message regarding the weather conditions. After a while of waiting without a reply, Dina tried to send another message, but still there was no answer. Dina tried to wait for a reply while lying down, without realizing she had fallen asleep.

Seraphina and Safy are still asleep. The time is still showing at 1 am, but the stars are still on guard at home. They take turns to keep each other outdoors and inside the house, their protection is also always active. But when it was 2 am, the cloud in the sky turned charcoal black. The wind rotation inside the cloud was getting louder, in the middle of the cloud vortex there appeared a red light accompanied by lightning.

The stars continued to observe every movement of the clouds, until finally a magic circle with flames blazing on each of its lines appeared behind the clouds. The sound like the growling of a mountain crater rang out loudly in the ears of ordinary humans, as a result of which many people woke up from their sleep including Seraphina. When the flames were already making a sound, it instantly disappeared.

Many residents who heard the voice tried to find out where it came from. Some argue that it is the sound of a volcano, while others consider it to be the rumbling sound of lightning. Seraphina felt a strong energy circulating around her house, and immediately rose from her sleep.

However, in front of the gate, a young girl appeared. She was wearing a red dress and a fiery crown on her head. The girl walked slowly into the courtyard of the house, the stars protecting the house were already prepared to face her. However, the girl easily passed through their magic shield without any difficulty. The girl stepped forward, each step of hers leaving a trail of fire from her shoes.

The stars gathered, forming a line around the girl. One of the stars shouted,

“One! Two! Three!“

An S-level or higher-level magic attack was launched by the stars, thousands of lights united attacking simultaneously. However, the girl was able to dodge attacks easily. With just a single movement of his hand, the light from the stars turned to ashes.

“Waaa! Why not get it all?“

The stars began to panic, until someone recognized the girl.

"Wait on! You guys are unconscious? She was Princess Ariel, the lord of fire and the contract holder of the fire god," sounded the explanation from one of the stars.

The stars close their ranks, realizing that they may not be able to deal with it. Ariel, the master of fire, stepped forward. His every step was followed by fire, his eyes were burning red, and his red hair was unraveling with a sharp gaze.

"Tell me, where's your employer? Don't worry, you're gonna be okay,"

After Ariel spoke, Seraphina appeared right behind her, “A little bit you touched the stars, then don't expect any peace between us, Ariel!“

Ariel answered, "Oh, is that it? Is that what you call a greeting? Although I must admit, it's quite rude, Seraphina."

After speaking, Seraphina launched an attack from her hand. However, Ariel quickly dodged the attack, then retaliated. The two engage in a physical fight, with punches and kicks constantly being awarded. Ariel continued to attack relentlessly, and when Seraphina was cornered, she retaliated with a counterattack. Their physical battles grew fiercer, with their respective martial techniques being used.

However, Seraphina realized that she needed to change her approach. He gave a trick by outwitting the attack towards Ariel's feet, then quickly changed the direction of the attack to the top. Ariel managed to dodge it, but Seraphina firmly threw her hand towards Ariel, making her fall a considerable distance away.

Not accepting that brief defeat, Ariel got up and started to activate the flames from her body.Air felt hot around her, and her footsteps began to lift up from the ground. The grass below him slowly became ash as the heat reached 800 degrees.

“Seraphina! You have treated me in martial techniques, now I will seriously fight you.“

"Stop, Ariel! Don't use your powers here,"

However, Ariel did not seem to be listening and instead further strengthened her magic. But it did not make Seraphina retreat, just the opposite, her emotions rose because it had been underestimated.

So, Seraphina took the ring from her magical storage. The ring has a dark stone with the strongest black power. He immediately put it on his index finger. When Ariel attacks, Seraphina also activates the power of the ring. Black magic came out of the ring, binding Ariel's fire magic. It didn't take long, Ariel's high-temperature fire magic suddenly disappeared.

After his strength just disappeared, Ariel looked puzzled, trying to understand what was happening. Then, Seraphina approached him and nailed his head violently.

“Tuk!“

“Ouch! How strong you hit me! Seraphina!“

Once again Seraphina came back to snare at him fiercely,

“Tuk!“

“Ah! Stop, what are you lakuka..“

For the third time, on his feet again,

“Tuk!“

“Enough, enough, Seraphina. Please don't be in the shit again.“

But the request was not listened to by Seraphina, instead the more Ariel asked, the more power will be added. Until finally Ariel really gave up, she knelt down indicating she had been helpless again.

“Why? What's with your spirit, Ariel. Are you not the daughter of the king of fire, the contract lord of the god of fire?“

Ariel answered him on her knees, “Seraphina, I'm sorry. My intention is just to make a surprise.“

Seraphina extended her hand in front of Ariel, and Ariel reached for the hand.

After standing up, Ariel hugged her tightly, “Welcome, Ariel. Nice to see you again after so long.“

“Uhmm. I've missed you since I graduated from the academy, but besides. How about my surprise?“

Seraphina let go of her hug, then she gently nudged Ariel's forehead, “Don't do that again, your surprise isn't making me happy but worried.“
