The last hope carried by Iris has disappeared. He could not believe that the wolf saved Nestor and not his master Risa and then Iris shouted, "You stupid wolf, come back! You've taken the wrong person!"

But the wolf did not look back. It continued to run as fast as the wind, avoiding the beasts one by one, but they did not leave him alone. Some bests saw the wolf running and begin to chase him. 

They begin to attack them with magic, and the wolf activates a barrier to protect himself, but he could not Reflect all attacks. It got hit by some after their escape. Then the beasts begin to chase him.

Iris was in shock because he could not believe the wolf had left his master to die and said to himself, "Why did you save someone you don't even know? How do you betray your master?"

Although Nestor was ready to die, although he only wanted to die, then he was rescued. Nestor was aware of what was happening, but he did not know why the wolf saved his life and not his master.

The bests began attacking, and Iris tried to defend himself and Risa, but how could he drive them away on his own when all the soldiers were slaughtered and torn into pieces. Iris sheds his last tear in grief, not for himself, but for the sake of Risa. She was more than his leader, but as her servant, who watch her grew.

"Risa, I failed to keep my promise to your father. It seems I will die today."

Risa Aztera is from a noble family, and she is the eldest daughter in her family, and her father is the ruler of Astaria in the northeastern kingdom of Taria. 

It's was her the first time that she went to the Forbidden Land. Her family was in a difficult financial situation. Her father collected all strong soldiers who can use magic in the city and made Raisa the leader of this expedition.

The mission was simple to kill the beasts and collect magical crystals from them. Magic crystals used for everything from making armor, magical items to everyday life equipment, and Iris was the head guard of her family, and he was sent to serve and protect Risa in her mission.

"I hope you will forgive me in the next life, but" Iris took a red and black colored pill and swallowed it. Then his veins pop out and become red, his skin becomes darker then start cracking.

"I didn't expect to use this. But it's better to kill myself and Rise than to let these beasts eat her body".

* Explosion* wraps the surrounding area. The red and black pill eaten by Iris is used to sacrifice one's body as a last resort to kill yourself and the enemy.

At the same time, in the woods, there is a white wolf dyed with his blood running with a young man in his mouth who was still trembling with fear and dread with three magical beasts chasing them and attacking them. The wolf kept running while the attacks severely damaged him.

After a long chase, they arrived near a cliff. It was so high that it was hard to see the ground from where they stand. Then the wolf stopped and turned around to see the beasts behind them after that.

The wolf turned to the cliff and jumped without hesitation. The beast did not stop. They were like without mind following them.

At that moment, the wolf turned itself and made Nestor in his chest while it was falling his back. It was desperate to save Nestor, even if it is to sacrifice itself. Nestor was unable to react or think of what had just happened because they were falling too fast.

As they were falling, Nestor, for a second, saw sunrise revealing the beauty of this world. It was his first time he saw something as beautiful as that vast open land, floating islands, and waterfalls that fell from it, creating rainbows and mountains touching the sky before they hit the ground.

Since Nestor came to this world and opened his eyes, he did not have time for rest problems after another, and death was in his back. But now finally, he is resting without care but unconscious near the body of his Savior, who sacrifices his life, even though Nestor did not know why he saved him, but he did, and without his sacrifice, Nestor should be long dead. The bodies of their chasers around them also not moving.

The sun was high in the sky, shining on the bodies of dead men and women. Half-eaten, mashed, and torn. The camp was gloomy silent as cemetery, and the place smelled foul of blood, which attracted rodents and worms, but suddenly there was a movement of rocks falling and then a hand coming out of the rocks. This was Risa trying to get out and pulling herself out of the rocks. Whether by chance, miracle, or luck, she survived.

When Iris exploded, the necklace around Raisa's neck shined and formed a barrier around her before the explosion reaches her. The neckless was a magical item, used to block one fatal magical attack before it wears out, it cost a fortune, but it saved her. It was a gift from her father when she got accepted into the Magic Academy.

After the explosion, the place around them destroyed, stones fell from near hills to cover her body with rocks. When the remaining beasts saw that no one is still alive, they left after they fill their bellies with human meat.

After getting out, what she saw, made her froze like a statue, and then she starts shaking, seeing the dead bodies everywhere, torn, half-eaten, parts of their bodies all over the camp, and the land was colored in red.

"Is the one who did this a human? Do they have a heart? Or are they beasts in the form of humans body?" Risa did not know what happened when she was unconscious. In her mind, the ones who did this were Nestor and the masked man.

Risa fell on her knees at the horror of the scene in front of her, dirt covering her body. Now the strong and arrogant woman has been broken. She starts screaming, but no one could hear her screams.

The death of her faithful servant, his body was not even found, the soldiers who were supposed to bring them back to their city after the mission finished got wiped. 

How can she go home on her own without a single soldier? How can she explain their deaths?

Everyone in their city depends on this expedition to collect magical crystals. Without them, they will die the war is coming, and they will be dead without them, and now they even lost most of their soldiers who use magic.

After a while, she wiped away her tears and started digging the ground, taking the remains of the bodies and burying them. After she finished, she clenched her hand and said.

"Rest in peace. I will take revenge on these two men's and cut off their bodies as they to did you".

Then she looked at the horizons while the trace of the dry tears could be seen in her face and said, "Your name I will never forget Nestor!!".
