CHAPTER 40 FIGHT
Kurinai pov
As we enter the barrier, the cold wind inside the cave was brushing our cheeks and made us shiver, if I wasn’t cast the protection magic before I enter, this coldness would definitely affect us.
It is one of the abilities of the ice barrier that zeberu casted to this place. It may seem normal to look outside with our naked eyes but if you use vision magic, then you will see how this will affect you throughout your journey.
“Your majesty, it seems that zeberu prepared all of this properly” Pitou exclaimed.
“It seems so, be on your guard!” I said to them.
We all know how peculiar zeberu is when it comes to his work so I admire him for being cautious all the time.
As we walk from the narrow way, I notice some markings on the wall every time the wall lighted by the fireball I created.
“Pitou, try not to attack zeberu if we encounter him, I want to ask him first before I will put a verdict,”.
“Yes, your majesty” Pitou replied.
We walked for ten minutes now and we didn’t reach the end yet, it looks like were walking to an endless cave and then we come to halt.
“Your majesty, it’s an illusion. Pitou exclaims.
“I think so, but why is it that my detection magic didn’t work if it is an illusion magic. “I murmured.
“Maybe, he used another method of magic to create this type of illusion if your power didn’t even work out.”
I was in my deep thought when I realized what was happening.
“No, I think he used the secret tablet artifacts. It is the only power stone that can negate my detection magic.” I replied.
If he used the power stone to set up a wide area of illusion then he needs four of them, but using power stone can also fuel a large quantity of mana. What on earth is zeberu doing?
I open my message window and contact zeberu if he will respond to me.
zeberu, where are you now?
After a moment of waiting, I gave up because there’s no reply from him. If it will come to this, then I will have no choice but to fight him.
“[scene destruction]”
A translucent energy that destructs the barrier that zeberu put into this cave shattered into pieces, from that moment the illusion disappeared and a door appeared right in front of us.

Breanne pov
One side of the door opened slowly.
“We should have used the flame sword from the beginning. Well, the follow-up icicle blades were wasted…”
Kai's face twisted into a frown. I had wasted too much time. In order to make up for the delay, we need to use the ancient arrays to teleport us to our destination. Using other ancient items would be very dangerous to us.
This was all the fault of the person who delayed us from our journey. If he hadn’t given the order to scout the suspicious entity, who knew how much more time would have been wasted?
I looked at the sky, cursing my misfortune for being tied by the kingdoms laws. If I were to decide, the entire enemy should be gone right now.
“Master Breanne, the king wants to see you right now”
Suzzane, as part of the 7 hero’s enter in my office located inside the majestic castle of feloria kingdom without knocking.
After the mission that his majesty gave us, we were given the order to not accept any quest right now because of the abnormalities that were happening throughout the kingdom.
The crystal ball that Suzanne possess suddenly appeared and the white crystal ball turned into dark.
“Master Breanne,”
Suzanne gasped and look at me with wide eyes.
“what is it?”
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“The ball just detected that there’s a powerful entity appeared”
“How can you be so sure that it is powerful? “I asked.
“The crystal ball emits different kinds of color, depending on how powerful an entity is, it will also correspond with it. This dark color means that there’s powerful group appeared inside feloria territory.” Suzanne exclaimed.
“Report it to the king, and send a message to the group to come here inside the office.”
“Yes, master Breanne I will go now”
Suzanne disappeared in a blink of an eye then after a moment the 5 heroes rushing in my office. Maybe she used the telepathy to send the message immediately.
Suzanne is the only one that has not arrived yet because she maybe at the kings office reporting this entity.
“Leader, is it true what Suzanne just told us?”
Hyuno is the only one among the group who keeps calling me leader suddenly speak out.
“Let’s wait for Suzanne to arrive before I will discuss it with you. Right now the first thing to do is to ready yourself because I believe that we will be engaging in a battle soon.” I told them.
“Then that’s good, I was bored to death after days of staying in the castle,” Hyuno exclaimed.
Everyone was silent while waiting for Suzanne except for Hyuno who keeps on talking. Among the group, Hyuno has the attitude of being impatient about almost everything and the most talkative but despite of his attitude he was the one who keeps the atmosphere happy.
Suzanne, on the other hand, is his nemesis, Suzanne hate Hyuno the most because she can’t stand the voice of him but behind that fact it is obvious that she has a crush on him. These two people always fight with each other every time they saw each other but today was different when Suzanne appeared out of nowhere with a stern face.
I think I guess what the result of his report was.
“Master Breanne, his majesty just gives his order to not leave the kingdom right now. I already told him about what I discovered but he insisted on ignoring it and just focused on guarding the kingdom right now”.
“”what is about, master?”
Kai voiced out after a while.
“ohh I forgot, Suzanne discover that in the west border, a powerful entity suddenly appeared and we just reported it to the king,” I replied.
“Then we need to kill it before it will reach the gate” Hyuno speaks out.
“His majesty just ordered that we will not leave the premises of the kingdom, can’t you understand? Or are you just dumb.”
“What did you say? Do you want a fight” Hyuno stand up and stared intently at Suzanne?
“Enough! We don’t have time for your childish acts. “I yelled at them.
“Master, if that entity you were talking about has anything to do with the anomaly that was happening in the kingdom then it might be a valid reason for the king to let us go and find out,” Kai exclaimed.
“Right now the kingdom has suffered constant attacks from the monsters that’s why the downtown area suffered from it. But this type of incident never happened before until 2 months ago when we were away because of the mission. According to the report, a loud voice of monster was heard from a distant and an earthquake happened and after that, horde of monsters was attacking the city happened the next day.” I explained to them.
“How it is connected to that entity?” kai innocently asked me.
“If my instinct is correct, that entity was the reason why the horde of monsters keep on coming and attacking the nearby village. ?”
“The last time we scouted the kingdom, there’s no such monsters in the vicinity so maybe that’s what the entity doing in that area. ”Suzanne added.
After a long discussion, a loud noise coming from the bell in the center tower could be heard.
“Master, I think we're under attack!” kai looked outside the window while speaking.
Right after kai told us, a man wearing a grand clothes hurriedly barge inside my office.
“master, were under attack from the horde of monster, in the southern part of the gate and the king wants you to subjugate it,” a middle-age man told us.
He is baylon the secretary of the king and also his adviser.
“Thanks for informing us, sir baylon”
Right after I said it, we transported immediately using Suzanne teleportation scroll and appeared near the tower in the southern part of the gate.
From a distance, a horde of monsters amounting to two hundred or more is coming towards the gate in a fast way.
“shit, why are they rushing this way?” kai exclaimed.
“lets not bother for that for now, all we need to do is to defend this area while the soldiers are coming.” I face everyone and in a matter of seconds we flew directly towards the monster.
A roaring sound filled the world within the area. The ground was lightly shaking due to the gigantic monster heading this way. If we don’t kill them then they will destroy the outer district of the kingdom.
Suzzane voice rang out. “I shall now employ my wide-area magic. All of you please assist me with all your power.” She bit her tongue, and a blood was instantly come out pouring directly into the crystal ball. It began to emit a red glow.
A magic circle appeared in the sky, and the entire ground within the area began to tremble. Vast quantities of wind magic particles poured off of it. I felt a little chill when I saw this type of magic forming in the midst of the monster.
Using a six tier of magic is not an easy thing for it needs an ample of time to activate that’s why we’re here to protect here while doing his enchantment.
Her eyes flickered, but her face remained still. Next to him, kai eyes glittered brightly as he produces a thousand origami blades floating in the sky, as well as the lotus grinding technique. we looked at the horde of monsters, and after she finally done enchanting a gigantic wind appear in the midst with a grinding power that could incinerate the monster within the area.
Then my gaze shifted to kai, and his gaze grew cold while watching the scene. It could be said that the two of them great as a pair because they can maximize their power to the extent.
Kai extends his arms and the thousand blade origami and his lotus grinding flew directly in the group of monsters. In that moment, the gruesome scene was witnessed by the citizen who watches with us.
You can see from their faces the shocked and awe by this destructive power. In the distance the monster died one after another and all their body was shredded into pieces scattered everywhere.
I cast a barrier to the magic circle area to ensure that the pieces from this monster would not reach the nearby village and destroy the house from its corrosive effects.
In a matter of minutes, the hundreds of monster were wiped out and only their shredded body parts were visible on the ground could be seen.
Suddenly, the roaring grew in intensity from a distant. Suzzane face grew pale. We feel a destructive power beyond the mountain and its coming this way. I thought that the monsters coming this way was led by that monster; kai and the remaining hero was stunned by the force which we felt.
“Suzanne cast the eternal barrier before that monster reach the kingdom “I yelled at Suzanne who was stunned watching in a distance.
Using her blood, she then drops it into his crystal ball to touch the spirit of the god of the wind to erect a 10 tier barrier. After that the whole kingdom was protected by the barrier and no one can enter.
After using a high-end, magic Suzanne fell and landed on the ground pale face while panting heavily. Right now this is the only way because we still don’t know what monster it is. If the force we felt is terrifying then using this kind of barrier is appropriate for the meantime.
“are you okay?” I looked at her and help her to stand up.
“my power is depleted so I can’t use it for the meantime. I will put the rest to all of you” Suzanne exclaimed while heaving heavily.
About ten breaths worth of time passed. Booming sounds filled the sky. Suddenly the kneeling statue emitted a roar as… its eyes suddenly began to shine, as if it were alive. It's body… slowly began quiver, as if it were preparing to stand.
Suzzane face grew paler, her eyes brighter. She spat out blood, cause by the depletion of her mana.
“Kai led her to the castle and let her rest until she was fully recovered.”
“Yes, leader” kai exclaimed.
In the meantime, at the cave where zeberu and the team was watching the gigantic iron door. A loud noise was suddenly appear, a deafening sound from a high class monster outside the cave.
“your highness, !” Pitou exclaimed.
“huh,” I sighed and face them.
“I guess I have no choice”
After that, I bit my hand and draw a magic circle and drop my blood at the center. The moment my blood touches the circle, it shines brightly and within a second, zeberu appeared.
“Your highness! ”Zeberu exclaim while shock could be seen in his eyes.
