Meanwhile, Lily, Sightmund, Fay, Wesley and Reina are heading to the flower garden of the Kingdom of Astarte. It is located right at the junction of the southern gate of the kingdom. Once they got there, suddenly a creature resembling a lizard confronted them..

The monster stuck to the wall of one of the houses was quite large. His eyes were red and spitting out blood that was constantly dripping. While his body was wrapped by scaly black skin.

Those who seemed to be in a hurry immediately launched several attacks towards the lizard. However, they did not think that their enemy was not just the lizard monster.

Before Sightmund and Fay cast fire and light magic. Right behind them appeared a Gigant that had suddenly destroyed several buildings and directly walked towards them.

Sightmund, Fay, Reina stood guard at the front and took part in attacking the giant lizard monster. Lily and Wesley guard the back of the Giant.

By the time Fay unleashed his light magic, they immediately ran towards their respective enemies. Sightmund immediately glided at a speed capable of running on the walls of buildings in an oblique manner.

His blade had shone because of Fay's reflection of light magic. When he jumped onto the roof beside him, he jumped again like a bouncing and at that moment the blade of his sword-eye was pointed up, darting towards the lizard monster that was sticking on the wall.

But because the monster stuck out its sour green tongue, Sightmund who could not change the direction of his attack crashed to damage one of the roofs behind him.

At that time, Fay's magic managed to hit the lizard monster until half of its body became charred. While his hind legs were crushed and shed a lot of blood.

The monster hissed in annoyance, then he jumped up and down quickly. Now Fay is troubled because he speeds the monster makes his shot to be chaotic.

As soon as the monster jerked its huge tail. Sightmund who had risen immediately jumped up and ran by straddling his right leg. Ready to dart sharply towards the face of the lizard monster and thanks to his leg kick that managed to throw the one who wanted to attack Fay.

Fay, with his quick reflexes, instantly gives protection magic to Sightmund, while Reina is preparing for a large-scale magic. Sightmund who noticed it rushed over to lash out a few quick attacks to buy time for Reina.

The lizard monster rose again with its shattered hind legs. His movements became slow, even so he could still spew out some long-range attacks. Sure enough he jumped with the help of his big tail.

High up, then he pulled out a sour liquid from his mouth. However, Sightmund immediately destroyed the surrounding land, the debris that was lifted by his attack he threw towards the sour liquid.

As a result his attack only destroyed those rocks. The steam billows and instantly melts it.

Sightmund immediately strengthened his legs and jumped quickly towards the lizard monster who was still drifting slowly. Fay helped her by speeding up the shockwave and made it through Sightmund's body perfectly.

In the end, the attack hit the lizard monster, causing it to lose its balance, Sightmund spinning on the ceiling while preparing his sword. In one count he immediately pulled it right into his heart.

Unfortunately the attack was successfully resisted, at the expense of both hands. Both of his hands were split into two halves that were finally released, soaring into the sky. Reina was not silent, she also darted towards the lizard monster that had lost its balance and was ready to receive the final execution of her sword.

His robe fluttered in the wind that blew at him, his mouth was smiling small and occasionally the glasses swayed due to the vibrations he produced. A sword appeared from under his hips and instantly shot out like a curve towards the lizard monster's heart.

A single quick snort that instantly split his body in two, splashing his blood everywhere. Covering half of her elegant face. Meanwhile Sightmund manages to land safely right next to Reina.

When Sigmund touched his right shoulder, he turned his head.

"Ughhhm ... Instructor R-Reina, is that you?" her question made sure as soon as she saw Reina's blood-filled face.

But suddenly Fay lost his balance as soon as he saw Reina's face. Compared to a monster or a ferocious creature, it seemed that he was more afraid of Reina's current appearance.

"Are you okay, Instructor Fay?" lily asked while shaking her body.

His eyes began to open and his head slightly raised.

"I-I'm fine. It's a shame because I suddenly felt weak after seeing Reina's face" he said as he touched his own forehead.

Sigmund and Reina looked at each other and asked.

In addition, Lily and Wesley were dealing with a Gigant with a height of approximately equal to three adults. Its massive burly body makes the creature slow in motion.

Wesley began to disappear in the wind, his presence suddenly hovering above the huge creature. While Lily was focusing on summoning the spirits around her place.

A wind******pick appeared from Wesley's direction and fused with his body along with a sword twisting in the middle. The attack was now on the silent Gigant.

"WHAT?!"

But the attack was stopped by the Gigant using only his index finger.

From the other direction Lily shot out two red and white fiery slashes. Cross-shaped and glide fast to hit the Gigant. His attack was successfully fused with Wesley's abilities.

Flames fizzed between the wind gales that blew past him. Emptying the houses around it black and long-darkened into charcoal and then destroyed. But the Gigant figure is still visible in the middle of it, both Lily and Wesley were back in a standby position.

But that huge silhouette of shadow suddenly moved, then ... BHASS!!!

The wind****** the fire pickaxe instantly disappeared in the blink of an eye and gave rise to a giant monster who was smiling vilely. His fist raised rapidly then shot rapidly towards Wesley and Lily simultaneously.

Due to their much greater attacking power, the three of them bounced far away to knock down several buildings in one strike.

"Ahkss .. I didn't think the monster was so strong" said Wesley, who began to rise again using his sword as a pedestal.

The giant began to walk up to him, his gigantic wall-like body blocking the lighting. Makes Wesley's vision a little runny, but he knows that now the creature's right hand is starting to lift.

And... THE SLEBSSS!!!

Suddenly, a sword struck the back of the Giant. Behind that sword Sightmund was trying to further deepen his sword thrust. Wesley did not waste the opportunity.

The giant finally collapsed drenched in blood, the sound of a fast-moving footstep sounding not far from the direction they were. It was Reina who had cleaned her face back from the blood and also Fay who had calmed down.

The two of them simultaneously cast fire magic that enveloped the sword they each held. At the same time they jumped high into the air, the sword raised and then inverted until the tip of the blade was below.

Like the fall of a small comet, the tip of his sword blade shrouded by fire screamed loudly from the sky until it finally destroyed the place where the Giant was located, fortunately Wesley and Sightmud had evaded before Fay's attack and Reina managed to make the huge creature roar in pain.

His voice echoed in tandem with the warheads of both Fay's and Reina's swords together, creating an enormous and massive explosion. The puff of smoke overflowed and expanded to enter the sidelines of the city that was very difficult to reach.

When all the smoke had disappeared, a huge figure of a monster had been lying mouth-open with a reddish-black skin surface.

"Finally, we have to go back, quickly" said Sightmund.

***

On the other side of the city of Mea, Nheil, Hiro, and Fiana were heading towards the north gate to make sure no one entered through that gate. Before they got there, they had been intercepted by dozens of Ogres as well as some pretty big Homogoblins.

Fiana did not buy time, she just broke through with her ferocious sword. It gives off very cold and sharp ice.

Everything in his path instantly became an ice sculpture instantly.

With a touch of Hiro's magic and Mea's arrow shot, the ice sculptures instantly shattered into tiny shimmering fragments. Nheil immediately jumped high until now walking on the roofs of the house.

He saw that other groups were also trying to get to the middle of the kingdom. Fiana is ready to read the magic. With Nheil's help maximizing the area's magic range, he made it area magic.

They easily penetrate the defense of a group of Ogre with shrewdness and also the swordplay owned by Fiana.

His sword danced beautifully. Each step of his foot became a stretch of ice that made him quickly move and slide like playing Ice Skating. While the sword does its job well by giving way so as not to be restrained by enemy forces.

The slash after slash was launched by Fiana with the help of Mea who blasted the wind arrows at the speed of sound. All the creatures that were in front of them also disappeared leaving behind slapped body pieces.

Now Mea begins to lead by using her eagle-eye abilities coupled with her ability as an accomplished shooter, making her the most accurate shooter with the widest range.

Fiana who opens the path below while Mea with her archery ability, Hiro with her ability to cast magic and Nheil with her ability to use her silver spiral spear that can attack enemies from a distance.

Everything went smoothly until they reached the intersection close to the bell tower. The bells clang and let out quite loud and clinking sounds repeatedly.

Suddenly it began to calm down and a giant shadow appeared near the bell tower. To be precise to his right, a hand appeared and crushed the foundation of the bell tower with just a single grip.

Then followed by a black leg, drops of red liquid come out of the pores of the foot. Now the part of his head that came out, both eyes narrowed with irises like wild animals. Beaked and have jaws

and also sharp pointed teeth.

It only has one wing torn off. When he has appeared with clearly visible circumstances, Nheil, Mea, and also Fiana prepare in an attacking position—

"CHATRAT!!!"

The figure suddenly disappeared and appeared between Hiro and Nheil, so shocked they both immediately tried to stay away, but unfortunately they were too late. The beaked monsters had first grasped their arms and directly threw them away smashing into the bell tower itself

“ARghh!!!—“

“Aghkk!!—“

Their eyes widened while spewing out from his mouth. The shocked Mea unintentionally released an arrow that shot towards her head.

The attack without being based on consciousness had strangely managed to jolt his head until it pierced out and dripped blood from the tip of his arrow's eyes. But the strange beaked monster fell silent, its head spinning slowly so that its two narrowed eyes saw Mea who was shuddering.

His mouth smiled cheerfully, he immediately laughed out loud. His voice was furious and also hoarse. Even his sizeable existence had suddenly disappeared from Mea's surveillance. His huge body was now right in front of him with an open beak and gave rise to a row of pointy teeth filled with blood.

His head that was still stuck with arrows did not have too big an impact. His right arm was raised to cover Mea's sight. But Fiana immediately jumped, he immediately launched a sideways kick.

The monster slammed out of Mea's presence. Its massive body violently smashed the ground surface and a giant fireball followed and blew it up along with the blazing streets.

"Huh-huh, ughh. It hurts, but I was finally able to cast the magic that Instructor Kuro forbade," murmured Hiro.

Unfortunately the creature is still silent, until its existence jumps high to avoid the attack launched by Hiro. However, Mea did not let it, quickly her right arm flanked several arrows that were ready to be launched from her nest.

The first was four, then three, and followed by five followed by a single shot of Hiro's lightning magic. The long-range attack hit him and made him fall right in front of the bell tower..

When the silhouette that appeared on his body fell, on the other side Nheil who looked in pain had prepared with his police attack. His legs were strengthened like riding a horse.

Both of his eyes were focused and his spiritual spear was ready to strike the monster, when he wanted to jump at it. The monster got back up while shouting indistinctly. Even Nheil did not care and still lunged at him while brandishing the spear right towards the monster's heart. However, his attack was caught by the beaked creature's hand.

He began to moan in pain until finally a black light appeared from within his pointed beak. Nheil could only continue to suppress his spear, but as Nheil's efforts progressed the black light in his beak continued to grow.

But it is not expected that two punctures managed to clog the light. Two puncture pieces immediately shot out from behind Nheil, penetrating his beak until it came out of the back head. And thanks to the prick the strength of his grip became weak, in the end he attacks his managed to penetrate the heart of the beaked creature.

Keep pushing it until it presses firmly its large body flat along with the road. His huge body was now drenched in blood with a blank look his head was pointed upwards. His pointed beak opened up blood.

"Huh, huh. Thank you for your help" said Nheil lightly.

Seeing the two who were battered by the beaked monster attack, now the two smiled because they managed to hold the victory. Although their ribs have not fully healed but such a fatal attack could have put them into a coma instantly.

After that Mea and Fiana help Hiro who seems to receive the most injuries to walk limping. They made it through and also defeated the monster in a landslide.

Not far from their position appeared a figure of blood-soaked creature who was chewing a piece of intact hand.

“Khahahaha!!”

He also licked the rest of the blood on the edge of his mouth. After that swallow the hand whole while grinning widely.
