THE COLD DAD
COVER ME!!

Argus was looking for his master in Duke's study, seeing that Lannox didn't come today.. It makes Argus disappointed.

'tumben once he didn't work today!! Huh.. I have something important that I need to talk to him about. Mm.. Where is he now? Should I look for him!!' as Argus, standing in an empty room thinking about his Master's whereabouts, was unaware of Zion's presence.

Zionpun appeared, but with a very annoyed and disappointed expression. Because it's.. Not finding the person he was looking for, but meeting someone he didn't like.

"cih, what are you doing here? Where is the boy! Why are you even in this room?!!"

"oh, it turns out you're the fierce cat! Mm.. How about yes.!!" he thought as he turned his eyes in another direction, which made Zion even more irritated when he saw her reaction.

"quick say, don't beat the shit!!"

"I don't know where he is either. Incidentally, I am looking for him now. But, what I found.. Just an empty room, and the presence of a fierce cat." said Argus with a cynical smile.

"hey.. It's a waste of time talking to you." said Zion, glancing at her at a glance, then passed away leaving her.

"hey.. Wait for the Cat, don't you want to find him too? So, let's go find it together! Because I also have important needs with His Majesty."

"no, I can look for it myself" he answered, then disappeared.

"huh..he's so fierce? Why is it that every time he meets me, he is always like that, even though we are both His Majesty's spirit!! Yep.. Although, he is more senior than me. Oh, forget it. I'd better find him now." Argus left, leaving the room empty.

Elf world, Queen, and King. They were sitting together enjoying their company, in the flower garden, behind the royal palace.

"my husband, is there any word from our son, Argus?" ask the Queen gently.

"puffin.." The king, who was sipping warm tea, almost spurted out.. I still haven't heard from Rudolf. Hm.. Was he given a bigger bait? To dare to ignore my orders!! That damn kid, he really likes to make trouble.'

"honey.. Why are you quiet.. Didn't you hear me?" said the Queen, seeing no response from the husband.

"that's right, o. speaking of the boy, a. I've sent Rudolf to look for him, using your belongings. But." answered the king.

"but why, dear? Didn't that kid come back either..?!!"

"he. he's.. That's it, until now I haven't heard from her, I'm sorry my wife!" replied the king, scratching his non-itchy head. "A.. moreover, your father and mother, also do not know anything about this..!! I'm worried, if they know about this.. They will definitely blame me." said the King, worried.

"hem.. I'm not surprised Rudolf betrayed you for our son. You know it yourself, don't you! They both grew up together. Since childhood, They are also like friends, although sometimes Argus acts indifferent to him. He remains faithful to our son. Hm..Hm.. They both look like you and Badr, don't they?."

"what!! You must be very dear, equating me with him cih, of course we are different. Me and Badr are more like enemies than friends! We really don't fit" said the king, folding his hands together.

While the Queen only smiled gently, witnessing the childlike nature of her husband, for refusing to confess the truth.

'hem.. He still hasn't changed, still like a child.' he thought to himself. "if Argus still hasn't come back, I'm forced to intervene!!"

Hearing the reply from his wife, the King looked delighted.

"that's better my wife, if you do.. The child will definitely obey him immediately." replied the spirit king.

The queen nodded in agreement, and continued to sip her warm tea.

"Here you look, it's only fitting that I didn't find you." Zion had just appeared, hearing a familiar voice, Lannox turned to the voice. "Oh yeah! I just met your beloved Elf Boy, in your study, like.. There's an important matter he wants to talk to you about!"

"really..! then.. You alone, what's looking for me?"

"forget it first about me, you better meet that kid! Don't let him come to see you. I don't like him, I still hold him until now, it's because he's your spirit. If not, I've been attacking him for a long time. And again, doesn't he also not know about the state of your daughter, as well as the whereabouts of the other Spirit Kings?."

"what do you mean?"

"well, this is just my hunch. My feeling is that the boy cannot see your daughter!! You better get to him soon." he forced it on Lannox.

"huh.. Alright. Though, I just wanted to relax, and spend some time with my daughter."

With a heavy heart, Lannox got up from his seat, and went to meet Argus. As he was lazily passing through the door, he instantly disappeared.

While Jura who had just listened, now focused on paying attention to Zion.

And so do other spirits.. Busy themselves with their own activities. Some read books, and play chess.

"mmm.. What do you think Jura? From the moment I noticed, it was like you were hiding something from us, are you sure you don't want to say anything!!" Zaku came to sit opposite Jura.

As usual, Jura still looked calm, Even he did not feel bothered in the slightest, with Zaku's suspicions on him. Hearing Zaku's sudden pertanan made other Spirits become interested in hearing it. and waited for Jura's reply. Jura who was sitting relaxed while smiling, only answered briefly.

"there's nothing I want to talk about."

Zaku's eyes narrowed as if he was probing, aware of Zaku's seemingly incredulous gaze. Jura responded with a smile, made Zaku and the other Spirits give up, then just ignored him.

"haaah.. All right, you son of a bitch.. From the past until now, you've still not changed, it's always been a matter of words."

"not really, it's just your feeling" he replied seriously.

"cheek, but that's the truth." Zaku won't lose.

'haaah.. Thank goodness he didn't ask her again, If I hadn't been calm, he would have been suspicious and knew I was lying. I don't know why my shoulders are getting heavier!!' the weakness in the heart.

...****************...

In another dimension.. The masked Man's feet became stiff for a moment, as they could not be moved at all.

"what's going on? Don't-don't he..!"

"he.khe.. Did you just realize it!! Yeah, that's right, I deliberately exposed myself to your attack" in Tama's heart.. Though it was a lie, the truth was that I was indeed unaware of his presence, which was sudden.'

"so you deliberately took my attack for granted!!"

"yes, so that you may not see the trap that I have set. And now, slowly your body will harden."

"chew, you think I can just believe this stupid trick of yours!! by trapping me like this, it doesn't mean I can't move, you suck. "

The Masked Man cast a bit of a Spell, In an instant, the man could escape the shackles of magic, which Tama had created.

"if it's just like this.. Low-level monsters, can also release low-level magic like you. Heh..have you lost your power!! Until you get weak like this?"

Tama's face turned lazy, hearing the rant from her opponent.

"are you done talking, huh?? It was just a joke." Tama spoke casually while folding both of her hands. "Well, I'm tired of it. Your game doesn't change, khi. khi.. But, if you want me to be serious!! All right, I'll follow your will. Khehs.. Get ready!!" Tama turned her left palm up, then held it tightly. "(METEOR RAIN!!!!)" his screeches.

'uh, what will he do!! The energy around him changed.'

Suddenly an attack from the sky came, hundreds of fireballs rained down on the Masked Man like rain. Although he repelled it, the Fireballs were endless.

'from the dance, he had already prepared this many attacks, without my knowledge! where did he get that much energy??' "BELUUUUUSSSSSSS protect me!!" he shouted at the Earth Monster, his creation.

Hearing the screams from his Master, the Monster quickly ran straight towards his Master, and protected with his body as a protector. Rain of Fireballs fell from the sky, hitting the body of the Monster.

"cherry, where could he get this much power??"

After a minute passed, the Monster's body was burned.

"you've worked well Belus, Now it's my turn." he said as he looked at the body of the monstrous monster, now the Man glances sharply at his opponent.

"hey.. You are completely useless, even willing to sacrifice your own creation, as your protective gear!!"

"heh, that's what they were created for."

"all right, I'm getting bored now, let's get our business done" Tama said, getting serious.

Tama, start chanting the spell.. Seeing the change in the tama aura, which seemed different from before, made the Masked Man stand by.

'no way, this..'
