"With the blessing of the Great Dragon Argentia, grant me strength beyond measure: Draconic Vigor!" (That is to say, With the blessing of the Great Dragon of Argentia, grant me immeasurable power: The Power of the Dragon!)
A dazzling light emerged from Faelan's body. Immediately the light dissolved the bond that twisted Rikka and herself.
“What is this enough?” faelan said while standing quietly.
Faelan's body was now overflowing with a blazing golden blue light. Behind him, Rikka had already transformed into a Goblin, standing ready with her huge, unsheathed mace.
Faelan has really turned into a different person. The aura that emerged from him was indeed incompatible with his age which was still very young.The look on his face seemed wise with a sharp stern look.
Faelan signaled to Rikka not to attack Mithra, who now seemed wide-eyed and trembling. Smiling, the man in the prophecy said, “Do you believe now?”
Mithra's body shook. Abundant of haru and guilt at once, to the man who had long awaited his arrival by him and his tribe. He immediately put his wings in, pounded on the floor and bowed in front of Faelan, tearfully he said, “Pardon this self that is so presumptuous and arrogant. I am Mithra Labouf, the direct descendant of the great wizard Mathra ready to devote his whole life to the savior”
Faelan smiled with satisfaction, inwardly he said, “Thank God it worked, Elysia”
“Iya,master. I was worried about that too”
“Master, do we have to forgive him just like that?” Rikka looked very upset.
“It's okay Rikka. After all it is not the most important now” Faelan then turn to Mithra, “Stand! What makes you so sure? I just use magic without the rapalan”
Mithra stood up timidly, “I've been completely convinced. I'm sorry that I doubted the savior. In addition, using magic without neatness, the savior had just used Runalith stage one, whereas from magic energy, the savior had only reached MagiEssence stage 5+”
WHAT'S??!
Faelan and Elysia were both shocked.
Faelan now realized he had just used magic far above his ability. He immediately panicked. Now he realized that there was a hot liquid that began to fill his throat. It felt like vomit was gushing up from the stomach and chest.
Faelan couldn't help it. He coughed violently, spewing fresh blood that also flowed from his eyes, nose, and ears.
“Master??! Ughh!!” Elysia felt a terrible headache.
“Master, are you okay?” Rikka let go of her big mace and grabbed Faelan's body which now looked so frail and weak.
“Restore Health!” Mithra restored Faelan. “Once again forgive me. This all happened because of me”. The red-haired elf now truly looked regretful. His head even hit him very hard on the floor while prostrating to apologize.
The atmosphere suddenly felt calm. Only worry hangs in each person's jidad.
“HAHAHAHAHA” Faelan suddenly laughed out loud.
Mithra and Rikka looked confused.
“Rikka” said Faelan while still holding his stomach, “Either this is funny or not, but I think your soft voice really does not match the appearance of Goblinmu”
“Pffftt..” Mithra covered her mouth with both hands. Trying not to laugh.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA”
Everyone then laughed.
Including Rikka who looked timid and finally returned to her human form.
***
That night Mithra invited Faelan and Rikka to eat typical dishes of the continent of Ignaria.
“This lizard fire meat is one of the rare foods here. Lately, their populations have become endangered due to the rampant poaching. Thank goodness I kept some in this basement. Think of this as my apology” Mithra said as she served a few fat roasted lizards in front of Faelan and Rikka.
Although the lizard was only seasoned with salt, but Faelan could feel how tender and sweet the lizard's flesh was.
“Rikka's clothes! Your eating style doesn't match your appearance” Faelan smiled.
“Hahaha” Mithra laughs, “thank you if you like it. Eat until full. Well I know I can't serve bread or soup. That's too expensive.. Oops! I meani... The situation here is very unfriendly”
Rikka and Faelan did not hear Mithra, they were solemnly eating fresh, smoky meat.
“This alone is already amazingly delicious. Really!” Faelan chewed and swallowed it quickly. It seems he does not want to lose greedily with Rikka.
Mithra smiled, “After this, take a break. You need a lot of food and enough rest. Tomorrow morning will not be easy, because I will take you to that place”
“To Ignatius relic?”
“Iya. The savior must collect each relic before embarking on the journey to purify the world”
__
The morning has arrived.
At that time Faelan was following Mithra down hundreds of steps, towards the basement.
“Relik dragon Ignatius protected by Phoenix. In this world the sacred bird was only a few. But, Elder Phoenix there is only one” Papar Mithra.
“Lantas what difference?” ask Faelan.
“Elder Phoenix is a special bird. It is the Alpha of every Phoenix and other firebird. His intelligence is not playing. The only one who can speak like a human. You will know soon after entering” Mithra pointed to a towering stone door.
From the stone door, there are so many carvings that at first glance the carvings look the same as the carvings in the caves that lead to the world of the dragons. Only, the dragon there looks to have a different body and head structure. The dragon's head was noticeably taper and its wings were formed from engravings that looked like blazing flames.
Mithra explains that the dragon carving is the dragon Ignatius. Between Ignatius' front legs was a circle that looked like a deep enough howl, so that the tip of the howl almost looked perfectly black.
Faelan felt familiar with the carving. At first glance, it was similar to the Argentian dragon carving. Only, his body looked smaller.
“To be, only you and your servant can enter” said Mithra, “because later the Phoenix elder will test your eligibility. But.” now Mithra seems worried.
“What's up?” chase Faelan.
“Hopefully this is just my hunch” Mithra started chanting the gate seal opening magic.
A light shot up and whirled between Mithra's tiny body. His body was like it was shrouded in that red circle of light. Then the circle now began to turn into a solidified fireball, from within it seemed a red flame that was burning.
Wuuuss!
The fireball now shot towards the stone ball which was in the middle of the circle carving guarded by the dragon Ignatius.
The gate is now open. The tremors from the towering stone walls felt like a violent earthquake.
A few moments later the gate was wide open. There was a cave with a high ceiling engraved on it with glowing stones that looked like flashing stars taking turns. There was also a collection of fainter glowing rocks that looked like a river of the sky. It was as if the ceiling of the cave was a miniature of a high sky, the dwelling place of the sky dragons.
The dungeon's atmosphere felt very different, like a place completely separated from the outside world. The vast cave has its own ecosystem.
“Welcome to the Ignatius” dungeon Mithra said as she bent down and stretched her hands towards the entrance, as if welcoming Faelan and Rikka.
They had now arrived inside the dungeon. The stone gate was closed so that the magic stones above their heads now seemed to light up brighter than before. The dim rocks that formed the sky river now shone extremely brightly. The river seemed to extend with rocks as if its light was running towards an even deeper passage. The Dungeon of Ignatius was leading them to the relic they were looking for.
“Mr Faelan, you must pass the test yourself. All you can do is waitress. Phoenix will test the feasibility of the child that has been predicted” said Mithra.
“You said it before. Then why are you walking with us?” Ask Rikka ketus. Apparently he was still angry because he and his master were treated vilely yesterday.
“I'll just keep an eye on” Mithra's gaze looks different. Deep in the heart, it is deep. Elder Phoenix was a saint beast that was extremely sensitive to dark magic. If you are not careful, this test can turn into a massacre, and the only man who bears the burden of the world will disappear for good, killed by the Phoenix Elder who was supposed to help the hero. Faelan, he's a strange boy. There is nothing in any prophecy manuscript that says that the savior will be endowed with dark magic. Mother Mathra, guide me...
