Volume 1 Chapter 4 - Dragons and Behemoths

Early morning after Loki and his friend rested, suddenly there was a tremor that shook the whole room, and soon there was an explosion sound. Because of that Loki woke up from his sleep.

“Cecilia! Is this what your doing again? It’s 3 a.m you know.” Loki thought it was Cecilia who made that sound.

“That’s not me alright.” Cecilia appeared after she opened the door to Loki's room looking anxious.

“If it’s not you then wh-” before Loki completed his sentence, there was another explosion.

“Is this Cecilia’s doing again?” Helga said before she came out of her room.

Helga looks surprised when she saw Cecilia and Loki while hugging Luke that seems scared.

“Wait, so it’s not Cecilia who created the explosion?”

“Why are the both of you suspecting me?” Cecilia looked annoyed.

“I mean...” Loki said while thinking how many explosions he heard every morning.

“Forget about that. Let’s get out from the inn first.”

Both of them agreed to Loki and then all of them ran straight to the exit door. Before they got out to the inn exit door, they didn’t see the head inn at the receptionist desk.

“Where’s my mother?” Cecilia stopped and asked while looking more anxious than before.

“I’m sure she’s fine Cecilia. She must be already evacuated to a safe place.” Helga said to comfort Cecilia.

Listen to Helga's word, Cecilia felt a little better. All of them then got out of the inn safely. They all looked surprised to see everyone is running for their life. Soon, there was a red dragon throwing fireball non-stop on the north side of town.

“Master that dragon.” Aegis pointed her finger to that dragon.

“Let’s go Aegis.” Loki's eyes were filled with revenge.

Both of them then ran straight to the red dragon.

“Mr.Smith where did you go?” Cecilia asked them but got ignored.

“He’s probably going to stop that dragon, Cecilia,” Helga said

As soon as she said that, there was a nonstop sound of a lightning strike on the south side of the town. But she couldn’t see anything due to a really thick fog surrounding that area. Even though she wanted to go there, she saw Cecilia who still look scared and she chose to stay here for a moment.

“Cecilia, I’m sorry but I have to go.”

“Do you really have to?”

“As a representative of Summoner Faction, I have to do this Cecilia.”

“Oh, ok.” Cecilia still looked sad and scared.

“How about you go to Defense Headquarters then? I’m sure uncle Mark really needs some help and maybe your mother is also there too.” Helga tried to cheer her up

“I guess you’re right,” Cecilia said while wiping her sad face.

“Miss Helga, make sure you’re safe.”

“I promise.”

Cecilia then left Helga.

“Luke, my staff,” Helga said while opening his right hand

“Here you go nyan.” A staff suddenly appeared at Helga's hand.

“Let’s go, Luke.”

“Next to you mistress.” both Helga and Luke run straight into the mist until she couldn’t be seen.

In another place, Cecilia was still on her way to Defense Headquarters. She looks hurried to meet her mother and uncle Mark. But her step stopped after she arrived at Defense Headquarter, the guard was unconscious and looked hurt really bad.

“What happened here?” Cecilia looked terrified.

She tried to wake up one of the guards but he doesn't respond at all. Even though she was afraid but she can’t help her curiosity to know what happened inside. But her curiosity got her best now. It was a bloodbath, there was blood everywhere and both guard and staff looked dead. Her leg stopped working and she fell.

“C’mon Cecilia be brave.” Cecilia tried to stand again.

‘I hope uncle Mark is safe’

With her shaking leg, she tried her best to walk through the bodies and blood. The more she walked, the place looked more worrisome. When she arrived at the elevator, she couldn’t shake her bad feeling. She took the elevator down to the training ground. When the elevator opened, she saw unconscious Uncle Mark and his head is bleeding near the elevator.

“Uncle Mark are you ok!?” she couldn’t help but panic.

But he didn’t respond at all. She kept trying to wake up her uncle, until something that strikes to deep of her skin. She just stopped and stared at someone that the girl stands far away from her without her knowing.

“Oh, I thought I already cleaned my mess.” said the girl while slowly walking toward Cecilia.

Meanwhile, Loki and Aegis almost arrived at their destination. All the buildings that they could see already burned heavily and there was a constant wind keeping the fire lit. Aegis was really concerned about her master's safety. Nonetheless, she trusted her master that he would be fine and she would protect him. Suddenly, there was a huge wind coming up from the sky. Loki then looked up and saw the exact red dragon from what he remembered.

“Finally, after seven years,” said Loki while took a serious look at how the red dragon looked like.

“Aegis battle mode activated!”

“Understood!” suddenly Aegis's body shone brighter with green light, there was some kind of tattoo lines that lined up from her hand to her eyes. After that, green mechanical wings sprouted from her back. She then flew toward the red dragon to attack it. The red dragon responded with Flame Breath and all of Aegis’s body was engulfed with it. But she kept fly toward the red dragon, and finally got out from the Flame Breath without any injury or burn.

“Energy Burst Cannon.” there was already concentrated energy in both Aegis hands.

She immediately shot it at the red dragon. But the moment the red dragon got hit, it exploded into some red gas while Energy Burst Cannon kept flying through it. Aegis looked confused, but for a moment she could feel massive magic power somewhere around City Defense Headquarter. After that, she then floated toward her master to give info about it.

“I should have known this was a bait.” he looked bitter because his emotion got the better of him.

“Master, there’s another powerful magic source near City Defense Headquarters. Do we need to check it?”

‘Think clearer Loki, you better than this.’

“We need to help Helga first. Aegis can you locate her?”

“Understood.” Aegis closed her eyes and tried to locate Helga.

“Found it! Follow me, master.” Aegis opened her eyes and started running to the south side of town.

Meanwhile, on the south side of the city, the mist started diminishing the longer Helga walked through the mist. she could see a lot of electric pulse near her, but thanks to her barrier that she already cast before hand, she and Luke are safe.

“Mistress be careful, I have a bad feeling about this nyaa,” said Luke

“It’s okay Luke. With you and me here, everything is going to be fine,” said Helga with a warming smile.

Soon, she found a place with no mist or electric pulse. Felt this area is safe, she started dispelling her barrier. But the moment the barrier was gone, a bolt of lightning already tried to strike her. Thanks to Loki act fast, he nullifies the attack with his hand. Suddenly there was a big shadow wrapped their whole body.

“Oho, you still keep that crying cat eh my useless little sister.”

“This voice!” Helga recognized this voice and immediately looked at where the sound came from. She saw a blue behemoth with a golden pattern all over its body standing in front of her. On the top of its head, Helga saw some girl with short hair while holding a staff.

“Big sis!?” Helga surprised saw her sister.

Helga didn’t realize that there was a tremor in the sky.

“Thunder justice!” the short girl shouted out loud from the top of her behemoth head.

There was a lot of lightning striking around her and started to attack her. But both Luke and Helga could withstand those lightning attacks.

“Diana, why do you attack me?” asked Helga while holding her ground with all the lightning strikes.

“Don’t let your guard down mistress just because it's Diana nyaa. I can feel there’s something different with Diana nyaa,” said Luke while maintaining the barrier.

“Behemoth, ready for Earth Demolition.” Diana then jumped while holding her staff and then she hit the ground with her staff.

“Mist, come forth.”

Suddenly a fog emerged from the bottom of the staff shrouding the entire field. Helga and Luke watched the fog became thicker until they couldn’t see Diana and the behemoth.

“I have a bad feeling about this nyaa,” said Luke looked alert to his surrounding.

But there was nothing happen, even the lightning stop attacking them. Suddenly Helga reminiscing about how her sister always mocked her because she always on the defensive every time they sparred with each other.

“Luke we need to attack Diana now!” said Helga in hurried.

“What is it nyaa?” asked Luke in confusion.

Luke never saw that her mistress going for the offensive side. But this is because Helga remembered her sister talk to their teacher about her new spell. Unfortunately, the teacher got angered because the spell Diana was too dangerous. Diana didn’t need a second to leave her teacher, Helga remembered she could see Diana's frustrated face.

Helga tried to locate Diana with her magic. The moment she found Diana, the mist cleared little by little until there was a huge shadow. It was the behemoth but this time the entire body was covered by thunder spark.

“You’re late little sister.” every side of Diana's body was covered by thunder spark while holding her staff.

“Heaven’s Wrath, Earth Demolition!” Diana hit her staff to behemoth head.

Behemoth’s head started to glow and then all behemoth's body started to shine really bright until it blinded Helga and Luke. Followed by an earthquake and the ground started to crack. Then from the beneath of cracked ground, there was some kind of electric spark sparkling continuously. Finally all the electric spark outbursted from the ground and it soared to the sky just like a lightning strike. The sky then responded with a lightning strike into the ground again.

Loki and Aegis still on their way to Helga until they saw a pillar of lightning. Loki worried after saw that pillars of lightning kept happening continuously, both of them make haste to help Helga.
