THE COLD DAD
THE SECRET BEHIND TATTOOS

The four Spirits fought each other fiercely.. Gira against Roya, Tama against Zaku. Gira the Serpent King raised hundreds of Ice Needles in the air.. Roya smiled at the actions of her friend.

"Hehehe.. Are you sure you want to attack me with your lousy moves huh! The snake is ugly." said the Eagle King underestimated the manner of his friend.

"Hohoho.. Hid.. Hid.. Hid.. Look at you, now your arrogance is almost on par with Zaku. Haha.. Greatable.. Greatable.. What is this that you have gained during the last three years of training!!" sindir Gira was sharp, while laughing at the Eagle King Roya.

Hearing Gira's words, Roya became hot. It felt the anger of the Eagle King, as if burning wanted to come out destroying everything around him. However, he hid his frustration in a calm manner.

"Damn it, don't equate me with that crazy boy! Don't say much, let's start." said Roya immediately flicked one of his brownish gold wings.

"Come, who's afraid!" chirps Gira grinning.

Ice needles that were scattered in the air.. Suddenly crashed, stuck whatever was around him. "Now feel this." Roya took out her Eagle claws and prepared to tear off Gira's scales, which glittered beautifully, then she just grabbed Gira's body and threw them hard.

Seeing that, Gira did not stay silent.he deliberately let until Roya approached him.. When Roya almost clawed and gripped her large body. Gira with a quick response, directly sprayed the ice snow on both feet of Roya.

In an instant Roya's feet and claws, froze into Ice.. Roya quickly flew straight to set her balance, so as not to fall. "Curtain, the base of the Ice Snow is troublesome." his grunts were annoyed, he then slashed with the power of his wind. Roya projected the power of the wind, becoming a weapon that tore apart the Ice ankles on her legs.

"WUUUSHHHZZZWAS.. KREEUUS.. KREEUUSS." Ice had frozen at his feet.. Finally broken. Roya's legs are moving freely again. It flies high.. But this time, he changed his shape to be transparent, and fused with the air so that his figure was not visible to his opponent.

"Heheh.. Let's see if you can avoid my attack this time." he grinned, then immediately slid off and disappeared. Gira who saw Roya suddenly disappeared just like that.

Meanwhile, in other places that are no less fierce. Zaku and Tama are now throwing attacks at each other. The two ran and attacked each other.Zaku's body was filled with the light of White Lightning and Silver Lightning, which was flaming.

Although Tama.. His fire body was blazing hot like lava.. But the Fire in his body was now a bit different from before. His Fire Fox body was more concentrated and somewhat dusky red. The heat is hotter than ordinary fire.

"COGWAAAAARRRR!" zaku's roar, blurted and raised a Lightning Spear in the sky. Lightning Spear that had been formed perfectly. directly hit the sharp direction of Tama. Tama who saw this immediately smirked.

"Hehe.." Tama pointed her hand up, suddenly appeared a large-sized Black Hole, and directly swallowed Zaku's lightning spear, just like that.

Seeing that, Zaku became annoyed. Because of his devastating attack, it simply vanished. 'Shit, you fucking witch. He simply swallowed my Lightning Spear! Then feel this.' he lamented. "Tornado Lightning!!!" the sky, which had blackened, now emitted a tornado mixed with lightning, and began to devour anything around it.

Every time the Lightning Tornado struck, everything became blackened and a silent scorch. Seeing this, Tama's eyebrows began to lift next to her.

'Kheh.. Bawat, if you get hit by a tornado that boy! I can be slaughtered. Then I have to make something to stop his attack.' he thought in horror, then Tama started acting fast, and called out loudly. "The Third Magic Shield.. Pentahedron Pyramid." In an instant appeared a bright red light protected Tama.

"BBWWWUUSSSS! BBWWWPUUSSS! GLEDUG.. GLEDUG.. JEDUAARRR BOOOOMM." Zaku's Lightning Tornado, unable to destroy Tama's Shield. Tama who was inside the shield, grinned for a moment. And he secretly began to cast a spell.

Zaku, who was looking from afar, began to suspect the silence of Tama, who was in the protection of her Magic Shield. He raised one eyebrow, and narrowed both eyes.. He began to be vigilant.

'Shit, that damn fox! He's really troublesome.. He must be chanting his strange Spell. I must be careful, Zaku murmured, inwardly.

While Tama. he is now chanting the Spell. And in an instant something from underground, crept fast, and was heading towards the direction Zaku was at this moment. Zaku felt something coming towards him.. Start getting ready for the possibility that will happen.

And not for long.. A huge root poked out, came from underground, then attacked Zaku's Body.but, the agilely moving Zaku flew straight into the air. And took out the Ball of Lightning, and threw it at the roots, until it became crushed and charred.

'Yes, failed again. And a little more I can hit that big cat!' decih Tama, complaining of annoyance. Both ended in a series.

"Well.. It's boring, we end up balanced again." explained Tama.

"Heheh. No need to complain about idiots, At least the development of our course has been far developed, on appeal it was not!" chirp Zaku, now landing back.

Both of them had finished training, and began to catch up with the two Dragons, who were now resting. As for Roya and Gira, still unfinished, great thumps continued to occur in the air. Attack after attack fiercely, clashing against each other in the sky of the Mana Zone.

All of a sudden.. A sharp claw that was invisible, came out of nowhere! straight to Gira. But luckily what was hit was his Ice shield. So Gira wasn't hurt.

'Hm.. Attack not seen yes!' he murmured inwardly, as he grinned "Then I will make you visible now, Snow Blanket." he grinned.

A deep snow fell from the sky, the temperature of the air became sagat cold. The unseen Roya, is now slowly beginning to be seen, as the Snowflakes give rise to its existence. Saw a lump of deep snow enveloping his body.. Gira immediately projected the snow, becoming a grip.

Roya who realized he had been seen, and found the changes made by Bola Saju, has now turned into a grip. He quickly shrank, and escaped out of Gira's Snow Clutch.

'Haah.. It's almost." Said the Eagle King in relief. Now he began to float and rotate his body at full speed. Suddenly the temperature of the air around which had become cold snow.. It has now turned bright again. And the great Eagle King stopped, then looked at Gira sharply.

'Heh.. What's he gonna do?' thought Gira observing.

In an instant, there appeared thousands of Birds that came out of nowhere? The birds immediately flew into a crowd towards Gira. Seeing the scene, Gira immediately froze the birds, and while he was focusing on freezing thousands of Birds.

Seeing Gira who was being off guard, Roya immediately created the Wind Sickling. He then flew the Wind Crescent, and directed it towards Gira. I realized the danger was approaching.. Gira quickly dodged, and a scythe of wind streaked flying through the Mountain.

'Damn it, it's dangerous.' he said.. Gira, who thought the attack was over, was relieved. However, that terrifying feeling came back again and slashed at him ferociously. Gira dodged, his horned head immediately protruded into the ground.

Until Roya lost the figure of the Silver Serpent King.. Gira who had entered through the ground, now just vanished like in the swallow of the earth. Furious to see the Silver Snake did not come out of hiding. Roya immediately flew the Wind Crescent through and split the ground where Gira was hiding.

'Hum.. There's no reply? Did my attack hit him!!' he thought watching the ground not budge in the least. Suddenly, unexpected things happen.. A silver blue laser appeared from within the ground, and directly shot towards Roya. Saw that.. Roya also took out her transparent laser.

The two defend each other, Gira immediately shot flying pushing the laser to make Roya desperate. But Roya did not stay silent, he pulled back the Wind Crescent that had been sunk into the ground.

And.. Sickle Wind glided up to the surface at lightning speed and aimed at Gira's body. "CUSHHH.. WUSSH.. BOOOM!" A great explosion occurred in the sky, Gira was hit by the Wind Crescent, belonging to Roya.

The five brothers who were watching the Wind Crescent, shuddered in horror, until one of them chattered amid the tension.

"Damn, if it gets hit by his Wind Crescent, it's very dangerous. How can Roya control when she herself is fighting against Gira's attack..!!" chirps Tama curious.

"Right, all this time the boy had never shown his Wind Sickness during training. But why is it only now that he's showing it, and using it to attack Gira?" Zaku.

"Hem.. It's because Gira has been teasing him." Rabarus' chirps suddenly appeared, making everyone shocked by his presence.he was interested in hearing their conversation, And floated closer among the four Giant Mana Beasts.

"Hey, what did Gira say, so much so that she got so angry?" ask Saga curiously.

His four brothers continued to pay attention to Gira and Roya, who were currently fighting. A big explosion happened.. To make black smoke billowing, spread covering the bodies of both. The Sickle of Wind has hit Gira's body, but.. As the smoke from the explosion slowly began to fade, the opposite happened, leaving everyone stunned in disbelief!

Gira's body now turned into a metallic skin full of luster.. The one who is immune to attack or the Wind Crescent, belongs to Roya. 'No way.. How can my Wind Sickle not hurt him??' he thought he couldn't believe it.

"Haihi.. You must be astonished! Why is your Wind Crescent unable to penetrate my skin, right?" he said grinningly, making Roya's eyebrows raised next to each other. Roya was silent, waiting for an answer.

"Human.. But it's a secret, hahahahaha." she laughed and passed away leaving Roya, who looked very curious.

"Curtain, you fucking snake. I foolishly believed and seriously waited for the boy's answer. Eh instead he left me just like that, without giving an answer." his grunts were annoyed, Then went following his friend to the other four Mana Beasts. Both exercises ended in a series, just like the others.. Except Jura. He always won in training, against his five brothers.

"All right, now it's time for you to rest. Enjoy your rest as much as possible! I'll be gone for a while." Rabarus said and disappeared.

After the departure of Rabarus, the Sixth Mana Beast had returned to Human existence. They walk together. In the middle of their relaxing time.. Tama.

"Cih, where else is Old Man going..? It's always this way.. Every time he finished training, he would just disappear. As for us, just being cooped up is not allowed out. We've been here too long.. I can't wait to get out." Tama grumbled.

"You're right, I'm too tired to stay here, just doing the exercises every day, without being able to see the outside world." Zaku said.

"Heah.. If this continues, we will rot in this place for a long time. Especially after finishing Evolving, we were immediately forced to practice, with your father. Huh.. Our fate is really unlucky, since your father's arrival." Roya continued, making the others laugh.

"Fuck you, you should just protest him.. Not on me shit." said Tama annoyed, who was greeted with laughter by the fourth, his friends.

"Heh.. You are his son. You should have just wooed her, asked her for some leeway.. So that we're allowed out of here." Roya replied again.

"Currently, if it's as easy as you're talking about, you don't have to say anything, I've been doing it a long time ago. But unfortunately.. He who is now, is not my old father! Easy to talk to.

If I keep forcing, I might die silly in Old Man's hands. If you're good at talking, why don't you just ask." Tama said, annoyed.

"You're his only son, you can't! moreover, I'm stupid." Roya replied again.

"Heah.. It's up to you, I'm lazy to argue with you." said Tama lazily, Then the atmosphere became quiet again.

...😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈...

At the border of ADOLLAS and BORAMA.. The Duke was sitting next to his Spirit, the Black Panther Icarus. Who is now listening and listening to his Master.

"I've never told anyone this matter before, including my own Spirit" he said instantly dropping down, and sat cross-legged by crossing his hands. Lannox was silent for a moment, looking at the green grass meaningfully.

It was as if his mind was now drifting far away, while Icarus was just silent waiting without asking for the cause! And a few moments later.

"This is the problem I just told you about!" Ambiguous talk. However, Icarus only listened without any intention of interrupting. Lannox was silent again... A few moments later, he muttered again.

"Heah... I actually have a lot of magic in my body. Big swing.. My grandfather sealed some of my magic. Because at the time of my age, who had just stepped on three years, I still could not master the magic.

One day while I was training with Grandpa. My magic suddenly overflowed out, and began to rule my mind. At that time I could not control it at all because of my very small age.. For fear of the dangerous Magic engulfing my entire consciousness, and devouring my body.

I, who was half conscious, saw Grandfather who loved me so much, looked so worried and panicked to avoid that unwanted incident, Grandfather sealed it.

When I came to, I asked him what was going on, and why did he seal it? but He said, if until my Magic overflows and overwhelms my consciousness.., I will turn into a stranger, which is very contrary to my true nature! That's why he sealed it. But after I grew up, those memories slowly began to return.

And I remembered that incident again. Since then I know that Grandpa is lying for my own good. But, the impact of the sealing, there are limitations when I use magic. Even I can't use it to fly like the others, every time I use it during practice. I can only create a Portal or Shield to protect the others.

But I can't use it to attack or protect myself.. And that's very sad. I am skilled in using Mana and Aura, but not with Magic..!" he said there was disappointment on the surface of his face.

"Hm.. If your magic reaches the seal with your snicker! That means, he also must know how to unseal it, right? Did he teach you how to break the seal..??" ask Icarus to make sure.

"Human.. Unfortunately no. Since then he has never again discussed Magic, nor told how to unseal. He kept silent until death to pick him up..! That's why I'm so weak, if I get a magical attack. If only I could use it..!" he continued expectantly.

"Then, why don't you tell this important matter to your other Spirit? And why did you even tell me, who just became your Spirit..!?" icarus asked in astonishment at the attitude of his Master.

"Hm.. I don't know, maybe it's because I feel comfortable telling you.. Because you're a bit different from the others." she smiled faintly.

Icarus was silent after hearing his Master's words, inwardly, he was digesting and contemplating how to remove the seal.

"If I may know, where is your grandfather, sealing him?" ask Icarus curiously.

Lannox undressed.. And show his back. "Did you see the Tattoo of a Crow swallowing almost the whole month, and leaving only a little. Then the two are in confinement??" he said as he showed his back, to Icarus.

"Yes, I saw it." said Icarus watching him, questioningly in his mind.

"The cage is the seal itself.. While the crow that was swallowing almost the entire month, was part of my Magic that had disappeared. The remaining part of the moon.. It was my magic at the moment." she explained, while putting her clothes back on.

"Hem.. It's very interesting. Honestly, if you look carefully.. The crow's eyes were swallowing almost the entire month! it looks like it's alive. I don't know if it's just my feeling, or not! That's obvious.. His eyes were glimpsing towards me!" obviously Icarus, who suddenly felt a horrifying feeling from the gaze of the crow.

"really? I also don't know, actually what secret Grandpa has hidden, from me! I did remember him as he looked panicked and sealed my Magic. But what happened after that, I can't remember! Because my consciousness has been swallowed up by darkness." he said.

"Human.. Boy, all this time has anyone known, or suspected, the Tattoo on your back??" Icarus asked suddenly, making Lannox stare questioningly.

"No, no one knows or suspects my tattoo. They consider it just an ordinary tattoo. Why the hell?" tanya Lannox was interested.

Icarus was silent for a moment, he stared blankly at the mist-touched grass, as if he was pondering, wanting to tell or not. Lannox watched his Spirit's behavior, and waited patiently, with what he would say next.

'What is he thinking? To the extent that he frowned..!?' thought Duke, observing.

'Hem.. I remember that superstition story! After hearing the story of this child.., I thought back to it. Is it possible that the story, there is something to do with the story of this child!!' he said in his heart, Icarus dissolves in his own mind. So that he is not aware, if at this time.. The Master was staring questioningly at him.

A minute later, Icarus again let out his voice. "Actually.., this is just a hereditary story, which has been passed down from our forefathers! In my opinion, it's just superstition. I'm also not sure if this story has anything to do with you, or not!" he still doubts.
