[Nowo's POV] Arphen stood up and began to create a portal. It only meant that the four of them had already reached the foot of the mountain. At this very moment, all of us were excited to see them once again. A few hours had passed, and then the portal that was cast and opened by Arphen began to lighten up. A few moments after that, three people came out of it, including Blaze, Raiden, and Jack. I could see a range of emotions through their eyes and on their faces. I started to have a bad feeling about the disappointing look on their faces, but I didn't want to attract any negativity at this moment because, essentially, it wasn't the right time for it. I badly wanted to stay positive to lead them well, so I kept hoping that another one would come out from the portal. But then my hopes fell and began to shatter into pieces the moment Arphen closed the portal. "What are you doing, Arphen? Let us wait for Fraise," I asked him, trying to be as calm as possible. They didn't give me a r

PART 70[Narrator's POV]After the defenders had prepared for the impending battle, they regrouped at the training ground. Their determination to defeat the dark lord and his servants, especially Raiden, who had lost the woman he loved, was palpable.“Um, Raiden,” Blaze approached the guy who was in the middle of his training. He was trying to concentrate on hitting the small spot on the wall, a few meters away from him. He didn’t utter any response, which left the female defender down.Blaze thought that maybe at some point, Raiden wanted to blame her for Fraise’s death, that she should be the one who died instead. She knew it isn’t right for her to have such a negative thought, especially during this time when they were just about to face their enemies. She couldn't also deny the fact that if only she became a much braver person at that moment, then maybe she could have saved her comrade. But it's indeed too late for her to think about the flaws that have happened.In an attempt to

[Narrator's POV]The male fairy continuously follows and always sticks around Lane after the incident that happened to her dearest Nowo. Tala knew that she needed him now the most, that she badly wanted to have someone where she could at least talk to and no one could possibly do that other than him. Lane still does the same routine she did right before Nowo got into an accident; she still helps Luna and Crystal in making the powerful potion which will be done soon. Even though she badly wanted to stay on the side of her dearest friend, she still couldn't forget the good advice of Talaa.Lane knew that Nowo is the type of woman who doesn't want to be disturbed while there were so many thoughts that she needed to think about, especially if it's kind of bad. But still, Lane never fails to pay her a visit every hour or day that counts."Any news about Nowo? Did she already talk to you?" Moha asked the female fairy who was about to get inside the potion room. Talaa let her in, and then af

[Narrator's POV]"I believe that all of you have prepared yourselves well enough for this fight," the king uttered to the remaining eight defenders who were all standing in front of him.Today is also the day when Luna finally finished the potion they needed to drink, which would grant them immunity towards the curse of Algea's blood. She started giving everyone their shares of the potion."Better be sure that this potion could really protect us from danger," Jack mumbled.Due to the incredible sense of hearing that one of them possessed, Maison clearly heard Jack's doubt and told him, "You should refrain from having negative thoughts, Jack. Because that might bring you into trouble."Maison wasn't trying to pick a fight with him, but he was tired of hearing him whine every time they were about to embark on something uncertain. Like fighting without knowing if they could return safely to the base. In addition to that, he didn't want to hear anyone underestimating Luna's skills and dou

[Narrator's POV]Life is indeed full of surprises and uncanny events that will leave you dumbstruck for the whole moment. It is quite hard for them to catch their emotions the moment they all figured out that their female comrade is still alive. They didn't know whether to celebrate the happiness they are currently feeling right now or to put their attention to the growing fear and sadness, seeing her in a very unwell condition.The dark lord went somewhere behind Fraise. He clasped his hands on the female defender's shoulders, and then he his near the side of her face. "Wake up and take a look at those wonderful despair painted on your comrades' faces."Raiden was completely annoyed about what the dark lord did. "Don't touch her or even come near her."Pricus quickly lifted his hands away from Fraise's shoulders, "Oh my, I'm scared." He said, and then he started chuckling. A few seconds after that, he began to flash a smirk on his face and touches Fraise's hair gently, and then he su
