“Okay, I’ll lead one of-” (Claria)
“No, you stay here, Claria,” (Druid Oz)
“Eh?” (Claria)
“Ask two competent leaders to lead, I want you here,” (Druid Oz)
“Eh?” (Azaline)
“Ren!?” (Geeta)
“W-What do you mean by that?” Asked Claria as she holds her cheeks that started to reddens.
“Just as I fear, there are some guardians that got demonized into demons. They are quite strong, and the one leading the two demonic aerial forces this time might be the demonized guardians as well. I want the three of you to face them,” (Druid Oz)
“A-Ah… I see… That, huh…” (Claria)
“Yes, go and tell the soldiers,” (Druid Oz)
“Okay…” (Claria)
Looking at Claria that was just in hype for several seconds before suddenly looks down made Druid Oz tilt his head.
(Did I do something wrong?) (Druid Oz)
“Not different from usual, huh, *Sigh!*” Azaline suddenly muttered as she let out a heavy sigh.
“*Sigh!* True… Now I feel sorry for her,” Geeta followed suit.
“Hm? What are both of you talking about?” (Druid Oz)
“Nothing~ It’s girls-only talk~” (Geeta)
“Yes, it’s nothing,” (Azaline)
“Is that so? Then let’s get focus for a while. I’m getting tired, I want to go back, take a hot bath, and eat,” said Druid Oz as he transforms into his owl form.
“Whoa~ So you’ve gotten the owlfolk’s owl form too now! That’s dope!” (Geeta)
“Since that’s an army of owlfolks, then you must be staying at an owlfolk kingdom, aren’t you?” asked Azaline.
“Yes, I do,” (Druid Oz)
“As expected of his imperial majesty! You even managed to befriend the owlfolk! And made a princess of the kingdom fall- *Bfft!*” Azaline closed Corvus’s mouth that had transform into his mini-sized bird.
“I see… I want to look at the owlfolk kingdom myself. Let’s finish this quickly, I guess,” said Azaline as she drinks a mana potion and ready her bow.
“Want some?” Asked Azaline as she offers a mana potion towards Druid Oz.
“No, it’s fine. I’m in the middle of a thick forest, my mana regeneration is increased for several folds already so it will be hard for me to run out of mana,” (Druid Oz)
“Is that so? Ah. Here they come,” (Azaline)
The flying demonized bird-type magical beast army starts to enter their view. They’re flying towards their direction at a normal speed, and Druid Oz expected, the ones leading the armies are demonized owlfolks with the same guardian helmet that Druid Oz saw before.
“Impossible. I don’t want to believe this… To think that the guardians would get demonized as well…” Claria couldn’t believe the sight since as an owlfolk, the legends of the guardians had been passed down to every kid, while the adults, the soldiers, and the nobles all adore the guardians.
Their powerful strength, their noble presence, and their glorious achievements in protecting the continent have been a story that had become a tradition to pass on. If the people heard about the news about the fall of the guardians, it will make them greatly lose their hope and sense of security.
“Even so, for now, you need to accept the reality and proceed forward, Claria. We’re still unsure whether all of the guardians had transformed into a demon or not as well. There is still some hope,” Druid Oz attempted to comfort her.
“Yes, I know… I know,” Claria gripped her sword tightly as she continues to stare at the demonized owlfolk.
“Corvus, is that a guardian as well? Just like the one that we just captured before?” Asked Azaline.
“Yes, my queen. The one that his imperial majesty and you both young queens just captured are without a doubt a guardian as well, but his rank must be a low one since his strength couldn’t be compared with that two that is approaching us,” (Corvus)
“I see… So how should we play, Ren?” (Geeta)
“The three of you will face the two guardians, I will set it up, while Corvus and my familiars will lower their number, and the warriors from the Galhala Kingdom will finish them with their march from behind of them. Could you guys do that?” (Druid Oz)
“””Of course!”””
“Miss owlfolk princess, try not to slow us down and become a deadweight, ‘kay?” Provoked Geeta as she ready her greatsword.
“That’s my line,” Claria replied unwaveringly as she transforms into her owl form.
“Then that’s good. Make sure to not get hit by my arrows,” (Azaline)
“I won’t!” (Claria)
“Here they come, prepare for battle!” (Druid Oz)
“””Yes!!”””
Druid Oz’s plan is simple, rather than having the two demonized guardians have a match a duel with either Claria, Geeta, or Azaline, it would be better if it became a 3 vs 2 fight. And to do that, all he needs to do is to lure the two demonized guardians to get far away from their army.
(But to lure them, I don’t really need to do anything, I guess. If my guess is right) (Druid Oz)
“They’ll be coming right to me,” (Druid Oz)
Just like the guardian that dashed to him alone before, it’s clear that the command they got is to kill Druid Oz. If not, then they won’t be sending the army that they’re going to send towards the Ablux continent to attack him.
(In short, they’ve concluded that I’ll definitely hinder their plans and have decided to get rid of me as soon as possible, huh…) (Druid Oz)
And just like what Druid Oz guessed, the two guardians immediately dashed towards Druid Oz’s direction when they spotted him. But without making the slightest move, Druid Oz remains calm.
*BOOM!!!*
The two guardians that dashed towards Druid Oz attacked him from two different sides, ignoring the others and only focuses on getting rid of Druid Oz. And that’s their blunder.
!?!?
Before the guardians could get near him, Geeta and Claria blocked their attacks, preventing them from touching Druid Oz.
“Good, I’ll leave this place to the three of you,” said Druid Oz as he slowly flies in his owlfolk’s owl form.
“Okay~” (Geeta)
“You can leave it to us,” (Azaline)
“Careful,” Unlike the others, Claria continues to show her concern for Druid Oz despite knowing his strength. And without her knowing, that behavior of her irritates both Geeta and Azaline.
“Yeah. Let’s go, Corvus,” Replied Druid Oz as he flies together with Corvus the sky king, and dashed towards the army of demons together with his other familiars.
“Yes, my liege,” (Corvus)
But of course, the two demonized guardians won’t let him go that easily. One of them immediately dashed to chase Druid Oz, but suddenly-
*Whoosh!*
Two magical arrows suddenly pierced his body.
“Tsk!” The demonized guardian clicked his tongue as he avoided the other magical arrows that were about to hit him. The arrows shot by Azaline are precise, quick, and powerful, making it hard for the guardian to dodge it and end up getting hit by several magical arrows again.
But of course, Azaline and Geeta know that the damage given is not enough to defeat the demonized guardian yet.
“Smash!” Geeta that appeared behind the guardian swings her greatsword towards the demonized guardian with her powerful strength, sending the demonized guardian crashing to the ground, but this time, it’s not the same as the demonized guardian before.
“Did she get him?” (Claria)
“No. That demon blocked it,” Answered Azaline as she narrows her eyes. What Azaline’s focusing her sight on is not on the demonized guardian, but towards the strange expression her best friend has.
(Geeta is shocked? That’s!?) (Azaline)
Azaline spotted claw marks on her armor.
“Claw marks…? Geeta! Are you okay!?” Azaline calls out in worry. Druid Oz did Warn them not to get even a scratch from any demonized demon since they might transform into a demon because of the infection, after all.
(Why did he order us to battle with the guardians in the first place then!? The opponents are the legendary guardians of this continent! Get a single scratch and we might turn into a demon! Doesn’t this felt like he’s asking the three of us to die!?) (Azaline)
Azaline strongly protested inside her heart, and at the same time, she mocks her own self for not realizing this since the beginning.
“I’m fine! It’s just a scratch on the armor! It didn’t even break the-” As Geeta rubs the part of her armor that got grazed by the demonized guardian, she felt something unexpected on it.
“T-This is?” (Geeta)
