"Hali and Zion are missing?! How come?" Asked Rendrano who was surprised after hearing Yanata and Yiva's explanation. The two girls had told Reon and Rendrano everything.
If Zion and Hali were to disappear like that, they would definitely be in big trouble. Given how Zion is capable, it is impossible if they are lost or kidnapped, unless the person who does it has a high ability or knows Zion's weakness.
Instantly one word appeared in Rendrano's mind. Inimicus. Given the assault and how Zion explained how dangerous her race was, it was clear the Inimicus race had something to do with this incident.
Rendrano activated a magic circle on top of his palm. Not too big, just for communication. Given not too long ago he had also communicated with Zion using a magic circle, it was likely that Rendrano could still trace Zion's magic with it.
"Zion can you hear me?" Ask Rendrano.
"Yes Mr. Rendrano" replied Zion.
"Thank God... How are you doing now? Where're you?"
"Hali and I are fine. Our.. It's at the bottom of the ravine, precisely the Inimicus chief's pet nest. It may take a few days or weeks to return, so in the meantime can the Hero Class and Beast disciples train with you and Brother Reon? I'll judge when I get back."
"All right, what matters is you-"
The roar!!
Rendrano's words came to a halt when he heard a loud enough roar.
"Zion's? What the hell is going on over there? "
"No, just a little monster bully. We're a little busy, if there's time I'll call again."
"alright.. Until later" The magic circle disappeared from Rendrano's hands. But instantly he felt the cold behind him.
As he turned around, it was obvious that the elemental princes who harbored anger with overflowing magic had forgotten from themselves. Some people who are near them also prefer to avoid rather than be the target of anger.
"Sir Hali is very brave... Just watch out when you get home!" Said Leo while hitting his hand.
"Hihi~ is exactly right. We're out of it!" Continue Thory with a sweet smile, but it gives the most terrible impression of the others.
Really? They are not worried but angry? Yanata and Yiva could only pat the forehead looking at the five young men's behavior.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the ravine, the, Zion had just removed the magic circle when she suddenly heard a big explosion that made Zion form a protector so that she was not exposed to stone and dust due to the explosion.
On the other hand, Hali actually leaned his body on the cave wall with irregular breathing.
"Damn..." Her muttering. Red electricity was seen still flowing in the hand of the lightning controlling young man.
Zion who saw him actually shook her head. How not? A Lady Spider bellowed loudly while running towards Hali with his wide smile and exclaimed,
"YAH!!!! PRINCE HANDSOME!! WILL YOU BE MY LIFE PARTNER???"
But unfortunately he was immediately struck to death by the young man.
"Bas based on crazy monsters." Her words are upset. That is one of the reasons why Hali does not like women who are too excessive.
While Zion was just trying to hold back the laughter of seeing the pale face of Hali. Don't like it that much?
"Why laugh? Not funny to know!" Cetus Hali's. That's not funny. What if Zion's in her position? Wouldn't it be more annoying to laugh at?
"Alright well forgive me. But your attacks are good." Praise Zion at last. Yes, no lie, beating the Lady Spider with one strike is great.. Although they are not as strong as Krmya, but the strength of the Lady Spider has reached level 5 which belongs to the type of monster that is quite dangerous.
Hali sighed. At least the job is done now. He hoped that no more monsters would come near.
"We'd better find a way out of here. I don't want to be stuck here any longer." Hali. Zion nodded too. Yeah, after all, who would want to linger in this place, right?
Zion and Hali start looking for a way out. At least with the help of Nero checking the path in front of them will reduce the risk of them getting lost or deadlocked in that place. It's really bad, isn't it if you've been walking around for a long time?
However, it suddenly occurred to a question that actually disturbed Hali a long time ago. Precisely, from the beginning Hali saw Zion fight Neily Cirva. But, is it okay to ask her now? He has asked too many questions. His fear even made the tiny young man uncomfortable later.
"If you want to sing something, just ask." Said Zion arriving.
Wait, Zion didn't read his mind did she?
"Nothing." Hali's Lies.
"No need to lie. From your expression the face is very clear there is something you want to ask."
Okay, Hali can't dodge anymore now.
"All right, what's your core element? Since you first saw you, you've always used different elements. I'm so hard at guessing what your core element is." Ask Hali at last.
Zion's speechless. Questions that trap. Does he have to answer if he can control all the elements? No, that's too blunt.
'Let's just say you're a ground element controller.' Nero said arriving.
'Didn't ground element controllers disappear? If I'm missing, isn't that suspicious?'
'It's better than saying it can control all the elements. It will be risky in the future. But if you think about it again, your reason for hiding your original magic and using magic tools to be able to control other elements to cover it up will make sense. That's if you don't want to fuss yourself in front of him.' explained Nero. But is it no problem?
"Zion's?"
Hearing his name on the call, the tiny young man immediately turned his head. "Ah sorry, actually I... "
Zion stopped her speech and touched the ravine wall beside her. "[NonMagic: sharp ground]"
The roar!!!
"You can..."
"Yes, I'm a ground element controller. I used a magic tool to be able to use other elements." Answer Zion.
Will Hali believe it? May you believe me!!
But Hali smiled, making Zion confused herself. What was?
"It makes sense that you've been using magic tools all this time. But as far as I know all ground element controllers have disappeared. So you should know the reason? Is something going on?" Ask Hali again.
Zion had expected this would actually make her trapped by herself.
"I-I don't know. I got separated from my family when I was a kid, so I don't know much about that." Lying Zion. Come on, when does he have to lie like that?
"If that were natural. I knew the ground element controllers were deliberately hiding and would show up when there would be danger or catastrophe. Let's just say those who drove the catastrophe away. Just like what the earth element controllers did first." Hali. Zion just nodded hearing that. Honestly, he did not know too much, but instead got information like that.
"You know where it's from?"
"Someone." Answer Hali briefly.
"Who is that? Don't you have a name?" Ask Zion again. I don't know why he was curious.
"He didn't mention his name. The point is, a rebel who hates my family."
Zion frowned. "Hate your family?"
Hali nodded. He sighed a little. "It's about me and my brother."
Zion was silent hearing that. Looks like Hali doesn't dare to talk about his massalu. Unknowingly, they arrived in front of a fairly large pond.
The clear water and a little sunlight illuminated the pool making it look so beautiful. Plus the colorful magic crystal crystal that also illuminated the place gave off a warm and soothing impression.
"What if we rest here?" Bargain Zion. Hali also agreed.
That soothing atmosphere somehow made Zion sleepy. The young man leaning his body on Hali's shoulder made the lightning element controlling youth quite surprised.
"Pretty... Sing dong..." Zion Pinta.
Wait, what? Just be right! Zion's request actually made the young man's face immediately reddened.
"I-i... Can't sing." Reply to Hali while turning her face away.
"Why? Anybody can sing..." Zion's not lying about that. It just depends on the voice and how the person takes the tone.
"I'm serious..."
Zion who heard it puffed her cheeks. It's pretty adorable to see Zion lash that way. "Poooh... Alright... I want to hear the song of Hali..."
Hali was silent. I don't know what to answer this time. Actually he can sing, just shy to show his soft voice.
The atmosphere became silent as none of them opened the conversation. Hali chose to enjoy the soft glow of the crystal crystals near the pond. Zion began to fall asleep because of the silence that made her calm.
Unfortunately, it's not just those who are there. A tiny little cockroach can be seen walking down the street near them. Slowly walked up to that lightning element controlling youth and crept up his clothes.
Hali who noticed something creeping up her was instantly shocked.
"YAHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! " his screams were instantaneous and stood waving his hand beating the poor insect until it was thrown and entered the pool. Not enough to get there, the poor cockroach was directly in the prey of fish in the pond.
What a pity your fate, cockroach... May you be calm in nature...
"Ugh's sick..." Scream someone. Hali who heard that immediately turned around and saw Zion who was lying on the ground in a position that... Makes him laugh right away.
"Whooh!!! Standing up says say dong!! Sick tau!!" Zion complains that she is still in her position.
"Sorry sorry..." Hali said as he reached for Zion's hand and pulled her.
Zion's puffing her cheeks. He turned his annoyed face to the young man. But wait, he's experienced this before. A small smile formed on Zion's lips as she recalled her memories with Zuka back then. He knows how he was in his position.
"What's wrong?" Tanya Hali made Zion aware.
Zion quickly shook her head. "It's okay." Answer her.
Hali who heard that just fell silent and sat himself beside Zion. But the young man was leaning against the wall. Afraid of falling again maybe.
He looked towards Zion who was also looking at him but immediately turned his eyes away.
"If you have a question, just ask." Hali. He is also quite good at reading expressions.
"Pulse... I'm honestly pretty curious about you."
Wait, what?
"Don't think like that! I meani... You are also." Continue Zion.
Tau Hali thought of something else. "alright... Actually was... We used to be unhappy now." Hali's words made Zion more curious.
