"Hey! Can't you tell which one is your partner and which one is your enemy?!!" Upset man who has a tail, because every attack, Levy always launch an attack on the man as well.
"Basic is shameless" said Levy, staring cynically at the man.
"Agha!!!" Shouted the Ice Woman.
Manticore looks very wrathful, even his strength increases.
"Ck, you fucking guy." Levy ran very fast towards the man who had the tail, he launched his kick and hit the man's ribs.
"Stop it right now, you son of a bitch!!" Levy Umbat.
"What are you doing?" Irwin asked while blocking Levy's movements.
"Keep out of my sight" said Levy, not forgetting her sharp gaze.
"If you take a step forward, I will attack you immediately." The ice lady pointed her sword at Levy.
"Clean my way" said Levy, giving orders to his partner.
His orders were received very quickly by Zero and Loki. "okay!" They say.
"Hey! You guys want to fight at a time like this, huh?!!" Irwin who still avoids Loki's attack.
"Don't get in the way" Zero said.
"Based on a bunch of lunatics" said the ice woman.
Once his path had opened, Levy again launched an attack on the man. Of course, the man did not remain silent. The man simply dodged Levy's attack without any intention to retaliate.
"Yeah!"
Levy immediately averted his gaze, he could see Elzel who was drooping weakly on the ground due to the Manticore attack.
"Salamanders!!" Shouted Levy, when Salamander was hit by a stab from the tail of the Manticore.
"Ups, sorry, Levy. I can't protect her" Salamander said before disappearing.
Levy seemed to be burning with flames of anger, he directly attacked the Manticore blindly. However, no matter how many incisions and punctures he launched, the Manticore remained standing upright as if his body was immune to any attack.
Zero, Magma, and Loki help Levy. Attack after attack they leave two hours. Now their bodies are almost at their limit, while the Manticore does not look tired in the least.
"My mana is almost over. What do we do?" Ask Loki.
"Kill that damn guy" said Levy, staring at the man with the tail.
"Why him?" Ask Zero.
"He was the one who drove the Manticore crazy. I don't know what's on his mind."
"Me and Zero will hold off Manticore, do what you think is right, Levy." Loki pulls Zero away.
Irwin and the ice woman were busy facing the Manticore, Levy immediately ran towards the man.
"Whatever's in your head, I'm sure it's just garbage" Levy told the man.
"really that? Well, I'm so disgusted with my head" said the man with a laugh.
The fight between Levy and the man happened again, clearly the difference in strength between them. Levy knew that he was only considered a 'toys' by the man.
"Your movements are so easy to read, you don't even use magic. Do you think you're strong? Don't joke." The man kicked Levy in the back, until Levy was thrown away.
"What do they actually do?" Ask the hooded woman who was just watching.
"Come on, play maybe" replied the man next to him.
"The world is so cruel, a snot like you would cry if you were in a dangerous place." The man is still attacking Levy.
"And a man like you is nothing but trash in this cruel world" Levy replied with her sword as a shield.
Instantly, the man's face looked sour, "Yes, I am a piece of trash. Do you know what it's like to be trash? It feels so excruciating!!" Said the man.
The man was uncontrollable, his behavior was like a wild beast. His nails were elongated and extremely sharp, his speed increasing. He was no different from the Manticore. Levy began to be overwhelmed to face him, until finally his face was hit by the man's claws. His hood was torn, revealing a curse mark engraved on his face.
Degg
As he looked at the writing on Levy's face, the man stopped his movement, "Those marks ...you ...who are you?" Ask the man.
Levy did not reply, instead using the opportunity to launch his attack. Finally, the man fell to the ground as a result of Levy's attack.
Levy was sitting right on top of the man's body, with his sword stuck next to the man's face.
"Why are you still alive?" The question left Levy confused.
"What do you mean?" Ask Levy.
"The curse. You should have died because of that curse. Why can you survive with that curse on your body? And why isn't Levy?"
Levy was further confused by his words, "Did anyone you know get cursed like this too?" Ask Levy.
"Keep away" said someone from behind.
It was the man who stopped his fight with the ice lady earlier.
"Stop your game, they've reached their limit" the man said.
The man with the tail snapped his fingers. Suddenly, from the head of the Manticore came out a small blue light, before long the Manticore fell. They could finally breathe.
"It turns out you're the mastermind," said Irwin with a hint of annoyance on his face.
"Children," the ice woman's lips.
***
"What!!!" Shouted Loki, Magma, and Elzel.
"Where do you know that?" Ask Zero.
"The head of the village." Levy pointed behind Zero.
Out of nowhere, the villagers and the village chief had gathered inside the cave.
"Thank you, we can finally live in peace" said the village chief.
"No, you're wrong" Levy argued.
"What's wrong?" Ask one of the residents.
Simultaneously, Levy and the ice woman put their palms together in front of their chests, "Rest in peace" they said.
"As I said, the villagers are dead. Manticores spread their toxins in the streams that are their source of water. After their bodies were paralyzed, Manticore came to fill his stomach" Levy explained.
They looked shocked, the villagers didn't even realize they were dead. It is anger at the Manticore that makes their spirits not calm and roam around as if they were alive.
"Then, what about their invisible village?" Ask Magma.
"It was the patron of our village for generations. Our village will look far away for people who have evil intentions, and at night, the village can only be seen if it goes down the cliff" said the village chief.
After hearing the explanation from the village chief, silence began to strike. Don't know what they're gonna say to the spirit in front of them. There were sobs from the villagers. They still did not believe the harsh reality that had happened.
"Again, thank you for saving our village and making us aware. We will not forget your kindness." Slowly, their bodies began to disappear.
"Thank you" the two words continued to be spoken until their bodies were completely gone.
"Pity" said Elzel.
"May their spirits be calm" said Magma.
When their eyes were still fixed on where the villagers were, suddenly a bright light emanated from the back precisely from where the Manticore fell.
"Levy? Since when?" Magma Kaget.
Unbeknownst to them, Levy has made a contract with the Manticore.
"Bas with you, I was the first one after him!" Shouted Magma.
"What the fuck? I defeated him, I should have made that contract!" Irwin said no.
"Who's fast, he's got it" Levy mocked.
"Levy, is your body okay?" Tanya Elzel approached Levy.
"Yes, my holy creature has also returned. Don't worry." Levy smiled.
"What are you really?" Ask the man who has a tail.
"Man" Levy replied.
"That's not what I mean, you idiot."
"Then, what do I have to answer, you crazy bastard?"
"You have Mana, but why are you able to summon holy beings, make contracts, and possess the power of Magi?"
"Because I am a very beautiful fairy," Levy replied, then left them.
A very pretty fairy? Someone's inner.
They parted without a goodbye, all as if it had never happened. They go back to their respective places.
The Black Shadow Guild
"Manticore? Really it?!!" Shocked the Guild members, when they heard Loki's story.
"Of course, we beat him. Levy even made a contract with him" Loki said proudly.
"Uwaaah .. You guys are so great!!!" Praise them.
"Is Levy okay?" Someone from behind.
They suddenly saw the owner of the voice, "Master," they said simultaneously.
Master Kilua, he is the 4th Master of the Black Shadow Guild, a magician who can control plants. Although his hair had turned white, his face was full of wrinkles, but his strength was still very difficult to match.
"Emm .. yes, he said after the fight, the sign of 'it' was instantly gone," replied Elzel.
Not many know the condition of Levy's body, only Meldy and their Master know. All because of the Master's ban.
"Not that, but the contract. Is he able to endure the pain of the Manticore contract?"
"Yes? What do you mean, Master?" Ask Loki.
"If you make a contract with any creature, surely the body of the contract maker will feel pain depending on the creature chosen. If the contract maker cannot withstand the damage, then it is likely that he will be paralyzed or even die" explained Magma.
Of course Magma knew, she was a Magi user. And he knew how tormenting it was when making contracts with Mythological Beings or other powerful beings.
"Yes, that's right. Manticore has almost the same damage as 12 Zodiac stars. Listen, the contract maker can't move for a few days. Magma, aren't you like that too?" Said a man named Pain.
"Yes, Cerberus' contract makes me feel almost dead." Magma shuddered remembering her situation back then.
"Elzel, go see Levy's situation" Zero said.
"What's wrong with me? And, why are you gathering?" Who else if not Levy asked.
"Levy?!!" Shock them.
"Am I a ghost, huh? It's rude of you guys" Dejected Levy.
"Why can you walk?" Magma asked still a little surprised.
"Because I have legs" Levy replied.
Tak
Magma flicked Levy's dahu very hard, leaving a reddish mark.
"What the hell?!" Annoyed Levy.
"You okay?" Ask Master Kilua.
"Is there a reason not to be okay?" Ask Levy back in confusion.
"What about your contract and Manticore?"
"Walk smooth, same as always. What's wrong?"
"As usual? Did you feel the damage?" Ask Loki.
"What damage?"
"It's nothing" said Master Kilua, not wanting to continue the conversation again.
Levy looked at Elzel as if asking what had happened, and was only pulled back by Elzel.
"Levy, come with me for a minute." Master Kilua directly walked out of the Guild, followed by Levy.
