Adventure In Another World Eclipteria
Chapter 7: The Journey to The Abyssal Spire (2)

Arriving at the source of the sound, Lily and Haruki saw a sight that

staggering. A Saintess is being chased by a group of people who

it seems to be a knight. That saintess, looks desperate and exhausted.

Lily and

Haruki sensed that they should act immediately. Quickly, Lily

leading their horse carriage closer to the situation while shouting,

"Stop this!" His voice, filled with authority, made the

the knights were shocked, and they decided to slow down their pace.

Haruki

jump off the horse carriage and stand between Saintess and the knights who

pursue. Calmly, he said, "What's going on here?"

The people who were chasing Elina looked surprised to see

haruki's sudden arrival. One of them, which appears to be

the leader of the group, spoke cynically. "It's none of your business, so

go, young man. We're just after a criminal."

Elina, who was still panting, tried to explain, "They

I misunderstood, I am not a criminal. I'm a Saintess who went for

taking on the duties of the Sacred Temple."

Haruki

looking at Elina for a moment, she turned back to the people who were chasing her.

"Do you have any proof that he's really a criminal?"

Leader

the group looks doubtful, and seeing that Haruki has no intention of retreating, he

start to feel anxious. However, one of his men tried hard to

provoking the situation by shouting, "We don't need evidence! She must have

guilty!"

Lily

seeing the situation getting heated up, and he's ready to act if

are necessary. Meanwhile, Elina remained standing in place with a gaze

anxious.

“You know I don't want to riot on a beautiful night

like this~” The air around Haruki's hand turns into like a particle

the metal particles created a fairly sharp dagger.

“It looks like there should be a bit of violence here.” Haruki

with a threatening tone.

Feeling threatened the knights pulled out their swords

from the scabbard and prepare to attack.

“You challenged us with a little dagger like that brat, it seems

you are ready to go from this world.” Speak to the group leader before

finally, it shot towards Haruki.

“Prepare to die boy!”

The leader launched his attack towards Haruki. Haruki

still in his position to see the movement of the enemy that looks slow, slow,

smirked.

Trangs...

Their weapons collide creating sparks, Haruki holds back

his attack was relaxed. The expression of the leader looks very

tried hard.

“Lumayan you're a boy too!” Shouted the leader before

launched a very fast attack. Still with a flat face Haruki

holding all his attacks easily, only his hands moved

he was still standing in the same position.

Trangs...

Trangs...

The fight went on so fast, that it made

wind blows, and make the ground crumble which makes a little smoke screen

which covers them.

Trangs...

The leader stopped his attacks, out of exhaustion. “hosh..

hosh.” Slowly the smokescreen disappeared, Haruki was still standing in that position

the same without flinching.

“Are you done, old man?” Ask Haruki who is bored

because he thought it would be a great fight, but it looks like he

too far off.

Haruki moved very fast and was now in front

that leader. The leader was surprised and held out too late.

Zrass..

Haruki's attack managed to cut off one of his hands.

“Aargghh.. You son of a bitch.” Take the Leader with

holding his severed hand, whimpering in pain.

“Didn't you want to kill me old man?” Unsteadily Haruki

directly slashed the leader's neck using his dagger.

The leader's head rolled towards the knights

else, it made the knights afraid because their leader was defeated

easy by a kid. The knights ran away because of them

seeing an enemy that would easily kill them.

I pointed my hand at the knights who were running.

“Hell Fire.” An extremely hot black flame attack shot out

and immediately snatched towards the knights who were trying to escape. The knights are

it was scorched without leaving a speck of ash.

“Haruki..” Call Lily out of worry, because

haruki had never before acted this cruel to his enemy.

Haruki turned his head, the moonlight that had been covered with clouds now

able to emit light again, Haruki's red eyes are visible

shining, for a moment it looks very beautiful like a red moon but it is getting longer

looking at him would make the person who stared at him for a long time seem to be drowning

in a nightmare.

Haruki who was looking at Lily with a face of anxiety and fear, finally

realized.

“Sorry to me, has shown such a spectacle.” Haruki said in a more tone

friendliness, reducing the pressure around it.

Haruki felt guilty, and now his mind was blank. I don't know why

it made him remember something that finally triggered his anger.

Lily who saw that tried to melt the atmosphere.

“Already, it's all over no.” Lily patted the shoulder

Haruki, make him now think clearly again. Before finally getting closer to

the saintess.

“U... May I ask you who and why you are being chased by

they?” Lily asked the saintess.

Saintess, who was still in a state of anxiety, answered the question

Lily, "I came here to take on the important task of the Sacred Temple.

This task involved the retrieval of an extremely valuable saint artifact. However,

when I arrived in the city, I was immediately chased by this group, and I

running into this forest."

Lily and

Haruki exchanged glances, then Haruki greeted Elina with a warm smile,

"I'm Haruki, and this is my friend, Lily. We're actually heading as well

to Abyssal Spire, a large dungeon in this area. However, if the artifact is related

with your mission, we can work together."

Saintess,

who felt grateful for their help, smiled, "I am Seraphina

Whitecloudmore. You guys are right, that artifact is inside the Abyssal Spire, and I

almost managed to take it. However, there was a betrayal within the Sacred Temple,

and someone tried to stop me. I don't know who can

trusted again."

Haruki

listen to seriously. "We'll help you get the artifact

that and uncover who's trying to get in your way. But we have to

be careful and vigilant. Abyssal Spire is not a safe place."

Temporal

that, Haruki began to examine the corpse of the group leader he had defeated.

He found a parcel that appeared to contain documents and a warrant

to catch Seraphina. After reading carefully, Haruki showed

the letter to Lily and Seraphina.

"Looks

they were given orders to arrest you" Haruki said. "However, this

freaky. This letter has no signature or official stamp of the Holy Temple. This

it could be fake."

Seraphines

looks more worried. "I don't understand why someone would want to

I am in this sacred duty. The artifacts I had to take were very

it's important for the safety of the Eclipteria."

Haruki and

Lily exchanged a glance. They felt that there was something strange inside

this situation and they want to find out more.

"Seraphine, please,

we will help you complete your task" Haruki said firmly.

"But first, we have to know who is trying

obstructing you. We have to find out why the artifact is so

essential”

‘Dan

hopefully this is not from the temple who wants to throw you.’Inner Haruki

finished reading the whole letter. And burn it out, without leaving

ash at all.

Seraphines

nodding, relieved that he was not alone in his mission. All three

then decided to rest because it was getting late and not

safe in the woods like this.
