213 The irregularity
“Arthur, I’ll stop the carriage, and you should attack the monster right away with Xavier and Xander.”
Henry asked him while giving a code to wolf Xavier beside him.
“Alright, let us handle the big abomination first. Don’t take too long,” said Arthur with a grin on his face.
If it’s not for his blind adoration towards Anne, Henry could probably befriend him, but then, he thought, he could probably beco their drinking buddy. Arthur jumps from the carriage, while Henry stops the carriage. Justice and king Edward get out of the carriage.
“Let us help.” Said king Edward to Henry.
Henry blatantly refused. “No, his majesty. Please stay here with Justice to protect Anne and princess Alia. I’ll go there with Vale.”
They agreed and right away Henry and Vale run towards the large shadow. They can see the spark coming from afar, probably from Arthur, and when the two of them saw the monster, their mouths went agape.
“F*ck! Is that?!” Vale couldn’t even say any words afterward.
“Bahamut…” said Henry while taking a deep breath.
.....
Xander ad Xavier was attacking by jumping and clawing into the Bahamut’s body, Arthur using his climbing skill to use. Giving Vale and Henry a confused feeling.
“What’s Arthur going to do by climbing Bahamut’s body?” Asked Henry to Vale.
“Don’t know? So weird though.” Muttered Vale.
Arthur looks at them from below, while avoiding Bahamut’s hand, “What are you doing? Help ! Bahamut’s real weakness is the small gem in between its eyes!” He angrily points at the small gem, which was almost invisible if it were not for the sun shining through the gem.
Vale imdiately cast a wind spell and lifted Arthur before the Bahamut clawed into his body. Wolf Xavier was able to jump onto the Bahamut’s arm and bite the hand. The monster roared once again, and Henry took the chance to climb into the Bahamut.
Vale repeatedly cast full protect on everyone, because the attack coming from the monster was intense. Henry manages to go into the shoulder of the monster and calls for his crystal sword, the beautiful crystal sword with light reflected on the sword. Wolf Xander ca and tried to signal Henry to jump into his body. With a doubt, Henry reluctantly sits on wolf Xander’s body and then he clawed into the face of the monster. Xavier held onto the right hand of the Bahamut, while Arthur made the right hand busy with his attack.
Vale cast the last full protect on Henry while he jumps from Wolf Xander’s body and pierces into the black gem between the Bahamut’s eyes. The monster wailed and fell to the ground, and not long after, the dead eyes of the Bahamut looked into them.
“Gods! This was intense!” Said, Henry. He sustained so mild injury, and Anne was already beside him, healing their wound.
King Edward was stunned when he saw what kind of creature they had fought. “This… This is Bahamut, although it was the dium size, it’s in fact Bahamut.”
“Yes, strange… Bahamut only appears on the Hoard. How co it was here on the dark and mischievous road?” Justice ca forward and take a closer look at the monster.
Xavier and Xander shifted back to get treated by Anne, he looks at the monster and shakes his head, “How co the hoard’s type of monster could jump into the dark and mischievous road?”
“I don’t know, but I’m sure we will hate the answer.” Muttered king Edward.
They go on their way after Anne was done helping everyone. They finally arrived at the swamp where they saw Leon call for them from the ship. Anne was glad to see her friend’s face. He asked to go back, worried about Nathan’s health. As soon as they t, Anne gave him a warm embrace.
“I’m glad that you’re alright. I was worried when Vale told that you insisted on going back here.” Said Anne to Leon.
Leon look so concerned and whispered to Anne, “It was Nathan, he got worsen.”
Anne took a sigh and asked Leon about his whereabouts. He told her that he gave him so sedatives. Brom ca outside and imdiately seeks Anne. His hand holds tightly onto her arm.
“She ca again, right?” Brom doesn’t even aware of his surroundings, where everyone focuses on their conversation.
“Brom, everyone is here, look around you.” Whispered Anne, warning her friend.
Finally, realizing his mistake, he make a small smile and rustled his hair, “I am sorry, got a little tense, let’s go inside, it will be a bit cold here.”
Taking her hand, Justice whispered to Anne, “He was talking about the witch, right?”
“Not right now. We have another thing to do, rember?” Anne whispered back at Justice.
They go inside the ship, and Anne looks so impressed by how clean the ship is. She knows who’s the one who cleans everything. It was Leon. She knows the man is a clean addict. Vale put Alia in one of the rooms, he also cast so lock spells. Brom tilted his head and asked his primary captain.
“She’s the new bride of prince Javier, right? Princess Alia?”
“Yes, and also part of the plan of the attempt assassination of the crown prince.” Said, Vale. He pours liquor into the glass and looks into his magica. “I need to lie down, almost drain my magica.”
The primary captain goes to the captain’s room. Anne excused herself with Leon to the healer’s room, checking on her senior’s condition. Justice, Brom, Xander, Arthur, and Xavier are now sitting together, thinking of a good strategy to attack the port, while Henry and King Edward are communicating with the reinforcent troops through their familiar.
“We need to wait for the reinforcent. We don’t know what kind of skill and how many troops that the enemy has.” Said Arthur to Justice.
Justice’s hands brushed into his chin, where the stubble already appears, he nods his head and agree with Arthur, “Alia could give us so insight.”
“She could lie to us, though?” Xavier added to Justice, “Already tried once.”
“True, but we need to know sothing, just anything.” Justice begins to look so desperate.
“I can help,” Brom said while raising his right hand. All eyes go to him, and a smirk appears on his face, “But it could be harmful to her.”
