A bouncy sound and hot lead hit the foot of the soldier desperately running in the middle of the forest. The only soldier who managed to escape from the bloodstained place fell to the ground, his legs were completely crushed but he still tried to escape by crawling on the ground.

“Why did you betray us!!? Why do your loyal people do this!!?”

The soldier was completely frustrated, leaning against the fir tree and readying his gun. Pointing into the darkness without knowing where the hot lead that smashed his leg had come from, he was literally trembling in fear. Adrenaline serim can not eliminate the pain completely, pain radiates throughout the body from his legs are destroyed until the bones are seen.

From within the darkness, a flash was seen and a bullet of .30 caliber shot out quickly. Unable to react, the soldier's head was instantly pierced and blood and flesh splashed onto the tree trunk behind him. With his eyes wide open, his body collapsed to the side and died in terrible conditions.

From the darkness, a woman with a violet cornea eye approached. His eyes looked empty, but tears were flowing across his cheeks. Bowing his head in front of the corpse of his colleague, he said, “You are grudge-free and curse me there. I will not apologize to you .... This is indeed a mistake, from the beginning indeed the world is full of errors.”

Behind him, Ra’an approached and looked at one of his colleagues who died. He looks sad at first glance and the sense of sago begins to grow back. “What ... Second Lieutenant believes this decision is right? What did the young man say could be trusted?” asked the First Lieutenant's Assistant anxiously.

“Entahlah .... In a world like this, no one knows which is right and which is not. We can only know that at the end. However, of all the options I think this is the most appropriate than letting this Michigan mainland back a massive war.”

“But ..., we're up to killing our own comrades like this. If this decision is wrong, we will definitely be called—”

Dor!!

The sound in the darkness. Before he could finish his words, hot lead shot up from behind and right hit Ra’an's back until it penetrated into the stomach. Blood splashed onto Di’in's face that was in front of him. With trained reflexes, the Second Lieutenant immediately pulled his partner and jumped into the bushes to hide.

“Ra’an!”

Blood flowed profusely from the belly of that shoulder-length blonde woman. Di’in frantically put his rifle to the ground and was about to do first aid for his colleague. But before being able to tear off the camouflage cloak to cover the blond woman's wounds, gunshots were heard again and hit the bushes where they were hiding.

“Why is there still one more ...? I counted their numbers ...”

Di’in prepared his weapon, tracked the direction of the landing and saw someone hiding behind one of the cypress trees. The Second Lieutenant immediately took off his robe, picked up the stones that were around and wrapped them in camouflage robes, then threw them out of the bushes. The bait worked, the man from behind the tree came out from behind the tree. He immediately took aim with a shotgun, then shot the robe.

Without wasting the opportunity, Di’in immediately aimed and finished him with one place in his head. His head immediately ruptured from being shot from less than 100 meters away, the man's left eye coming out of the cavity with the nerve muscle still connected.

Not caring about it and immediately dropped his weapon to the ground, Di’in without wasting any time immediately took the robe that Ra’an wore and used it to stop the bleeding of the blonde woman.

“Quietly, Ra’an .... It's just a minor wound, keep your consciousness! Don't lose it!”

“Mam ...” Ra’an's face grew pale, blood unceasingly coming out and wetting the robe used for first aid.

“I'm here! Stay conscious, Ra’an! Keep awareness!”

“I ...” The blonde woman touched the cheek of her boss, smiling lightly with a relieved face. Before he could say what was in his mind, the woman's hand fell to the ground and her eyes slowly closed.

“Ra’an! Raa’an! Raaa’an!!! Ra—!!”

Suddenly the tip of the rifle touched the back of Di’in's head. It made the Second Lieutenant speechless, trembling in confusion and slowly looking back. Seeing who was pointing at her, the female body instantly trembled in surprise with a gaping mouth.

“Yo, PTP Special Unit Chairman, Second Lieutenant Cornelisa Di’in..”.

“You ...”

The one who aimed the submachine gun at his head was a High Elf who was the top brass of the Moloia kingdom military faction. She was the personal servant of the daughter of Ulla Vrog Ma’tar, a former second-generation concubine of King Moloia, Laura Sam’kloi. Although only a few times met him, Di’in is very familiar with emerald green eyes and pointed ears of the blonde woman.

Seeing the military clothes with complete equipment worn by Second Lieutenant of the military faction, Di’in briefly understood what was going on and explained why the number of soldiers increased without him knowing. The haired woman raised both her hands up as a sign of giving up, then asked, “What for ... have you come alone?”

“You know, our Princess is very rarely interested in something like this. He is very humble and reluctant to deal with the issue of the seizure of the throne. However, this time he did not usually show his interest in politics .... We supporters of the 30th Princess, Ulla Vrog Ma’tar, will seriously participate in the seizure of the throne. Don't think bad, it's the same as what you did for the Master you served.”

Behind Laura, there were green dots of light burning in the darkness. As the moonlight entered through the leaves and illuminated the land, the platoon figure of all Elves was seen. They did not carry weapons more sophisticated than what Di’in has and only in the form of shotguns, he said, but it was clearly modified and there were some magic runes that increased the weapon's abilities with spells that were the Elves' skills.

Mylta city hall. Then the crowd of people still color the place, economic activities as if there is no rest since the coastal city's land trade route is open freely without the care of the bandits. The glittering light from the street lights that sourced the magic crystal light was visible on every corner of the hall, the cold wind that blew under the starless night sky seemed to be down the skin of Odo and Mavis who had just arrived at the center of the city.

“Very strange it feels .... They really didn't ask about me huh, My son.”

Hearing Mavis's words walking next to her, Odo glanced at her glance and replied, “I want them to ask.”

Mavis glanced back, smiled slightly and said, “For sure if they ask you what do you want to explain?”

Pointing his index finger forward, Odo briefly smiled widely and said, “I will make a background if you are actually my older sister who has been separated for a long time. Mommy is the paternal child of a different woman, accidentally met when I went out of town and decided to hide the mother from the family because of the heir issue.”

“Eeeh?” Mavis's forehead shriveled slightly when she heard the neatly arranged babble. With a light sigh the woman said, “What kind of background is that? Will they believe?”

Odo returned to face forward, kept his feet with his mother and said, “I think they will believe. Mother herself knows that father is quite famous among women when young, right?”

“Uwah~” Mavis put on a withered face, covered her mouth with the tip of her right hand and said, “You know, my son. It was just a misunderstanding, the nonsense was spread because the members of the Devil Killing Party used to be mostly filled by women. After all, they were also just Julia and Fiola. What is famous among women.”

“Hmm, so it looks. I'm relieved ...”

Mavis was slightly astonished by the words and was curious to see the expression of her son. Pulling up Odo's shirt sleeves, the blonde woman asked, “Lega why?”

Odo looked at his mother, pointed back to the forefinger and replied, “I'm afraid to inherit the nature of a father who likes to play women. Honestly it's troublesome.”

“Eh? Why?” The answer even added to make Mavis confused, do not understand because a man should like to be approached by many women. Considering a few things, Mavis smiled faintly and said, “Ho-hoh, is there a woman you like, so it will be difficult if there are other women approaching, yes?”

“Not it ...” Odo looked away and felt that his mother was starting to look like a gossiping aunt. Sighing lightly and glimpsing at the fountain in the middle of the town hall, the young man in black hair replied, “In history and fairy tales, the ones that destroyed men were very often the cause because of women. I don't want to be ruined because of that shit.”

“Be-So, yes ...” Mavis at first glance felt that it was a subtle innuendo to her.

“Yes, that's it. I want to avoid things like —!!”

Odo's footsteps suddenly came to a halt, his face instantly pale and immediately wrapped around his own right palm. His mouth was slightly open, looking panicked and trembling. Seeing his son's strange behavior, Mavis came to a halt anxiously and asked, “What's wrong, my son? Your face ... why pale?”

“Ya ..?”

Mavis approached, coming to see Odo's palm. On the surface of the palm of the young man the black hair looks written, letters and runes are bright blue which continues to change every second. There are some that turn red and some that blacken.

“Can I ask your mother for help?”

“Ke-Why? What's with the rune in your hand? Is that magic? We instead want to go to the downtown government office and discuss with me—”

“Please mother represent me and discussion with them ...” Odo stepped away, his anxious expression turning wrathful at something and in a stern tone said, “If it is troublesome! Mommy just go back to the store and don't leave before I come back!”

“What are you talking about? Why are you suddenly panicking like that—”

Odo took out a dagger from the dimensional robe, then directly pierced his own palm with it. Blood splashed out and slightly hit Mavis's face and clothes. The woman's body trembled at the sight of blood flowing out of her son's hand.

“What are you doing?! Why did you stab your own hand?!”

A gust of wind suddenly shot out loud from the young man's body, pushing Mavis backwards and until it made the people who were at the town hall turn their heads towards them. The blood flowing out of Odo's hand did not fall into the street, it floated in the air and made a dark red magic circle pattern above the young man's head.

Raising his hand and touching the magic circle, Odo began chanting the spell, “Aquila Aurea .... Alba solis, altum quiddam .... Surge angelis in hoc ludo!” The red magic circle instantly disappeared, changing with a halo with a radiant pointed exterior that appeared above the young man's head. The light is so bright and makes it the center of attention, like a glint of the sun at night.

Mavis who saw that up close could only be stunned with her mouth gaping. He clearly knew what halo appeared on his son's head and who it should belong to. In disbelief he said, “Ke-Why is Ayunda's power in you, Odo ..?”

The young man who easily performed the angelic manifestation turned to Mavis, staring with blank eyes as if his soul was not in the body. He reached out to the blonde woman, then in a double-sounding tone of voice said, “Day just go back to the store or to the Mansion ..”.

“A-What are you talking about?!”

Light particles began to gather and form a pair of light wings on the young man's back, widening and slowly raising his legs from the surface. Without saying anything more, the anti-gravity of the halo was maximally active and the wings as direct control made the young man's black hair fly rapidly into space leaving Mavis.

“Odo!! Wait Odo ...!”

Mavis activated her Magic Core. The woman with the weak body forced her body to run and jump into the air, then used floating magic. He desperately tried to chase his son using the magic and flew as fast as he could. But the speed of the angelic manifestation was not something he could achieve in human form, until above the main gate Mavis could no longer see the figure of Odo soaring rapidly into the sky.

The woman's body was completely trembling, unable to believe what had happened so quickly earlier. “Ja-So it's true that some of the power of Ayunda's consciousness goes into her body. Therefore ..., since Odo was born my strength is reduced,” Mavis's mind with an anxious look. His face paled, a body that was not yet full of healthy was too forced and aggravated his condition.

At the crowd below, Mavis's attention was distracted and she stared at the people who made the scene a spectacle. As he slowly descended and wanted to disperse them despite having to dismantle the identity, suddenly his consciousness began to fade and the blonde woman plunged freely down.

Someone from the crowd jumped up high and caught Mavis, carried her like a princess and landed on one of the roofs of the building near the main gate. Slowly opening his eyes and staring at the person in the hooded robe outfit who saved him, Mavis said, “Fiola ...? Why ... you ..”

“Yes, it's me, Mistress .... I hid the presence among the crowd since then .... Sorry to disobey your orders and come here.”

The night breeze opened the hood of Huli Jing, the two ears of the blackish-brown female fox were visible and twitching. With a serious face he asked, “Yang darted very fast earlier ..., he was right Mr Odo, ‘kan?”

“Yes .... Odo easily gets into the angelic manifestation, then goes.” Mavis came down from Fiola's sling, stood on his servant's doorstep and anxiously looked towards her son to leave.

“So so ...” Mavis was not surprised, further sharpened her eyes and in a serious tone said, “If Mr. Odo can perform the manifestation of the Gods, then, of course he can also perform Angel Manifestation and get high mobility from light entity.”

“Manifestation .... Gods ..?” Mavis was surprised to hear that, but because her body was still limp she could not move freely and could only stand on Fiola's side.

“Yes .... When fighting the Ancient Demon King, he had once used it. But unfortunately Mr. Hunter lost before he could show the original strength of the form, I also did not have time to ask more details.”

“Why didn't you tell me that!!” snapped Mavis.

He pushed Fiola, forced his own body to walk and was about to activate his Magic Core again. But the woman's body was too weak to use magic in the long run, her body collapsed again and was again swept away by Fiola.

“It .... I don't want to make Madam worry.”

“Keep now how ...?” Mavis looks very pale, so anxious and tears blaring her cheeks. With a sobbing cry he said, “He just went with the angelic manifestation form .... If anything happens to him .... If his personality is as damaged as Ayunda, I have to how ...?”

The woman kneeled to cover her teary face, sobbing softly full of anxiety. Looking at the people crowding under more and more, Fiola knelt before his master and said, “What ... Madam knows the purpose of Mr. Odo .... Let me pick him up, if I have to forcibly. Madam rest only ..”

“Mana I know .... “ Mavis raised her anxious face, tears welled up and the woman was really too fragile in Fiola's eyes. In an anxious voice the woman said, “Dia ..., Odo suddenly panicked as he looked at the Runes on his own palm ...! He instantly performed the angelic manifestation, then flew out of nowhere ..”.

Fiola stood up, immediately facing the direction Odo left and began to make hand seals by crossing his two palms overlapping forward. On the palm of the foremost right hand, an instant Mana gathered and sonar was released into the city wall. The vibrations from the sonar at the speed of sound spread over a radius of tens of kilometers, although still within that range Odo Luke was not detected.

“Has he gone too far? Or is it still at an altitude that sonar cannot reach?” fiola's Mind.

The Huli Jing took a deep breath and deactivated her magic. Activating his power in full force, the nine Huli Jing tails came out from under the cloak and seemed to be dancing under the night sky.

“Then I will use my Inner Eye to track his life. I've remembered the aroma and shape of Mana Mr. Odo, with this ...”

Fiola weaved his fingers together, formed a hand seal with the symbol of a god and activated the full power of the power of the Inner Eye that the Huli Jing race possessed. Closing his eyes, he recalled information such as scent, body temperature, sound, Mana, the aura of life, and everything he knew about Odo Luke. His consciousness was blown away, moving rapidly beyond the speed of sound and searching for the existence of the young man flying in the minds of the angelic manifestations.

“Me!” Fiola directly opened his two eyes, then said, “He went to the territorial border of Mylta city! In the highland area!”
