88 So It Comes (1/2)
”With this, our troops will make the most out of the new monsters we are about to face,” Luna immediately stated. He was aware of the negative effects the EXP Agimat might bring to his nation.
But why would he live in fear? So what if eyes fall on the <Sovereign Nation> even more? If they're strong enough, can anybody do anything about it? Hold back and lay low with it? Why would he? Of course, if other people from weaker Nations were to find it, they would definitely keep it a secret.
The <Sovereign Nation> was built so it wouldn't have to worry about things like that. Now, with even more numbers on their side, as long as everyone else was trained, they weren't just quality over quantity. They were quality in huge quantities.
”Lord Luna, there is no longer any reason to hesitate. Let us walk forward unto the next phase.” Elder Aran suggested.
”Agreed,” he replied as he pressed his palm towards the ground. ”Come to me, Sarimanok.” Flames appeared on each one of his fingertips. He didn't melt a hole directly, but rather manipulated the flames to form a cage around it first. It was better safe than sorry, after all. ”Whew,” Luna breathed a sigh of relief. ”I was somewhat afraid that my flames would be stopped mid-way like some ridiculous plotline in a role-playing game.”
Soon, the Sarimanok was in Luna's hands. He held it with both arms, not allowing it to wriggle free.

”Shall we head back, father?” Maxene's sweet voice sounded from behind Luna.
”We've lucked out this time. There's nothing else for us here. Let's head out,” Luna replied as he patted her on the head.
As soon as they got back, Luna personally set up the XP Agimat> within his own residence, one of the safest areas within the <Sovereign Nation>. Much to his and everyone's surprise, the Sarimanok dashed off into the distance at a speed not even Sura herself could match.
Luna remained calm. After all, he was already the official possessor of the XP Agimat>. The only thing he was feeling, was curiosity. Sensing the Sarimanok's location, he eventually found out that the Sarimanok had made the <Cradle of Evolution> it's new home. The very same one located in between the <Life Trees>.
”Sigh. What a willful Chicken. It actually made the Cradle of Evolution it's home,” Luna said.
”It'll slow down the birth rate of our Elven people, but I can't complain. The EXP Agimat! We really procured it!” Elder Aran was still in disbelief.
The very same Agimat that resulted in their defeat to the Dark Elves was now in the possession of the Sovereign Nation!
