Chapter 14 - Beginning of the Battle

"Lira, I promise you. I will defeat Isis and Titan Lord for you!".

In the guild's medical room, where it's placed on the second floor of the guildhall. The place with its wall made from woods and a complete medical kit on the corner of the wall with surgeon tool, emergency medical necessity, and many more. Eight patient beds are splitting into two groups. Facing each other.

And there are a man and a dog-eared woman who still on the patient's bed. Who are Mari and Lira lying down on their own bed, on his left and right with the dog-eared woman on the left and a man resembles with him on the right that Both of them are lying down motionless on their own bed with bandages anywhere after the last mission that could make their lives in danger.

The nurses with the white modern nursing dress are coming in and out to giving a regular check to the master grade adventurer and his companion.

Lira had entered the adventurer guild earlier than Lex, as he had a swordsmanship class in the south of Laira Village before he could be able to join. He joined three years earlier than Lex that obviously the guild master knows how to cooperate with him well as he's a daredevil who never once fears against death. But what Lex feared about his safety and life is finally happening. This is no longer the thing he can help. If he did the paperwork and recovery sooner. Lira wouldn't need to face this life-endangering mission. There are no more ifs but regrets on his face as a brother who failed to protect his little brother.

And the guild master with his full blue colored knight armor come to walk to besides him.

"I'm sorry that I'm giving this dangerous mission to him, Lex. I know that Lira is a superb archer with close combat capability, but I never thought he would face a horrible enemy like that".

He tried to console Lex, who's still sitting there silently.

And then, he spoke out of his plans about the Titan Lord raid and Isis's whereabouts as he knew that the guild master is coming and he had to be professional for not meddling his own vendetta to two major mission that he will take the responsibility.

"As you asked, guild master, I will defeat Titan Lord to recover everyone's safety. But in exchange, please leave beheading Isis's part to me. I want to kill her single-handedly for making my brother ended like this!".

He had sensed the strong resolution from Lex. That he replied.

"Don't worry Lex, I will defeat her for you. Everyone is under my guild, is under my protection that I will hunt down every single of being who had hurt my members!".

"Don't ask anyone to join. Not even Silvester. master grade adventurer only comprises I and Lira remaining, and Silvester is the only living Hero grade adventurer and you. Guild master, we can't afford any damage anymore. So I will go by myself".

Richard smiled at Lira as he's finally felt that he forgave him after he gave Lira a dangerous task. But he is being careful as he left the patient room and headed downstairs and asked some Diamond graded adventurers together with him to Laira Medical University for the raid.

but then, Lex moved out from his visitor chair that made using wood with the look that resembles a modern wood dining table chair.

"Wait for me, Lira".

And he moved downstairs then headed to Kiana who is preparing the supplies that piled in boxes to them.

"Lex... can I Join?" she asked calmly, and he shook his head. Then he left the guildhall. Towards the southern Laira Village.

Meanwhile, on Richard's side, he's moved to the eastern of Laira Village.

And at the University. Professor Lore sealed the place using his Rune magic after he just being contacted by Richard over the danger of the demon that appeared on the Trace of Darkness.

Citizens in Laira Village are wondering why a whole march comprising 9 diamond grade adventurers and guild master coming out. Which is the rarest thing that Let alone Diamond grade adventurer, they never even really see a Gold graded adventurer who has one rank below them.

The citizens are talking to each other that something bad must have happened, eight days ago when the attack from a titan lord had damaged a quarter part of the south of Laira Village, and now the attack in university. They are praying for the village's safety for now.

On Lex's side. He has arrived at the southern of Laira Village that still on the rebuilding phase as the last damage caused by Titan Lord.

"Mr. Richeolot?" the man in knight armor covered called for him.

"What is the current status?" Lex asked him in a serious tone.

"The armies who Mr. Richeolot requested. Have arrived at the destination as Mr. Richeolot told".

"ok, it means we are all good now. It would start the attack in the next few hours according to the data we got last week by judging on when the Isis woke up at the time and when the Titan Lord will show up "Lex replied and approved their report as it was what he expected.

According to Lira's letter that he wrote using his blood before he's fainted. Isis had a similar black mark to the Titan Lord and as Lex and Lira's discussion last week. They realized that the Titan Lord died at millennia ago. Which explains why the Titan Lord that known for being docile, would attack them.

"Mr. Richeolot. I think what you predicted had been on the spot. I believe someone had used forbidden Metoria" the commander who talked to Lex previously. reported his finding to him. And Lex agreed that it has forbidden Metoria aura near the battle site that he just remembered what he realized last week.

"It means Isis is a shadow Metoria user. S*it! Report to Richard immediately! He has to bring at least one void Metoria user, shadow Metoria is impossible to defeat without it, also is Seikara's Vanguard is there? She's the void Metoria user who could help me with this raid. And Richard needs at least one powerful void Metoria user to fight against Isis! If I knew this thing earlier... Lira is a darkness Metoria user and Mari is an inferno Metoria user, both of them are having Metoria disadvantage against Isis. I hope you're safe Guild Master!"

Lex sweat up in fear that he worried that Richard will get a tremendous problem like Lira. So he has to inform the findings to him immediately, but Lex doesn't have a Telepathy communicator that Lira has as to own it. To communicate like how Lira able to do to the guild master, Lex has to undergo the hand surgery to implant a lightning Metoria infused micro square-shaped things to his palm that will trigger automatically if he has received lethal damage that it will transmit some Metoria aura from the one who had implanted it to the guild master to speak unconsciously as long as they are alive. It's also the reason Lira doesn't seem to speak as he was getting brutally attacked by Isis, but the guild master could still able to hear and reply to what Lira had said.

And a black-robed woman walks to his side, called him out with Lex having a familiar feeling of her powerful aura of charisma, the aura that made every soldier who is moving around stopped just to look onto her. Her soothing womanly voice is a voice that Lex always remembers.

Without looking back, Lex is well aware of the source of the soothing voice, the charisma that had made him kneel once. and a highly radiated fairy aura that made him says.

"You have come at last. Pharaoh".
