Chapter 7 Part9 (1/2)

Chapter 7. We came, we saw, we won.

7.5 Their Story.

[2] Ria El Nermia's Story

”A collaboration, is it?”

I became a little confused when I heard the president's words through the communication orb.

The message I got was simple.

I was told to take care of the students of Yugrasia with Arucia's help.

Was it because Aris managed to keep most of her students safe? Even so, I couldn't understand the need to work together with Arucia.

No, before that.

”How in the world did they manage to capture that Elemental Core?”

Nerkia Nes Leria.

Despite having been born from a low-ranking n.o.ble family, he managed to garner the respect of everyone in his school.

He was an enemy that was extremely difficult to fight, due to his use of numerous low-ranked and high-ranked elementals.

Arucia managed to capture someone like that? Honestly, I couldn't imagine anyone but me being able to capture him.

-We don't know how they achieved this. But, the important thing here is that one of the rescue members from Yugrasia is Ricen di Roa.

”The trickster, is it?”

Ricen di Roa, the trickster. He was a person who managed to contract a G.o.d.

It seemed that the synergy that he shared with his current council president was immense. The Elemental Core who was a powerful strategist, and the trickster, who was skilled in creating variables. It could even be said that the reason Yugrasia didn't fall till now was because of these two. Plus, this was all before the man even formed a contract with a G.o.d.

”Bahaha! Doesn't this sound fun?”

Sutr said this next to me. He seemed happy to be out after so long, and managed to laugh at just about anything.

”Can you fight it?”

”Demons were made to fight G.o.ds since creation.”

-If we manage to neutralize the rescue force, the people of Yugrasia we'll need to deal with would go down to just ten people. So please… Nermia… no, Ria.

I nodded.

”Let's go, Sutr.”

Shuffle, shuffle.

Sutr made his move with his unusually quiet footsteps.

”By the way, have you taken a liking to my shoulder or something?”

”Nah, just too lazy to move.”

Sutr seemed to be a little bored of just walking, for him to ask this question. His shoulders are unexpectedly comfortable to sit on, so I did just that. I trained hard after meeting the instructor… no, my teacher, but according to the teacher inside me, I was still just a couch potato. I must still have the characteristics of a mage in my blood.

Bang!

”Already?”

I frowned as I heard the explosion in the distance. As expected of Yugrasia, they attacked much faster than I thought.

”Sutr.”

”Mm.”

The moment the giant began to run, everything in front of me instantly moved to my back. Sutr's speed was nothing like what his size might suggest. He could probably outrun a high-cla.s.s wind elemental in an instant.

And once we neared the half-destroyed base in front of us.

Flinch.

”Sutr! Release!”

”Uooh!”

The moment I jumped off of Sutr's shoulder, I released one of the chains that bound Sutr's energy.

I could see a shadow resembling an wolf charge towards the roaring giant.

”Fenrir?”

The wolf that not even Sutr could handle easily. I frowned once Sutr said the wolf's name out aloud.

”Demon wolf Fenrir?”

Fenrir. The demon that was said to have devoured a G.o.d.

It was a demon that resembled a giant wolf, and one that was often called the staff of destruction. It was a demon that could even fight Sutr one on one.

”d.a.m.n it, it's not the real thing, but… be careful!”

I quickly got out of the location I was in, and… I found a joker holding a black scythe standing there.
