Chapter 10 - Saving children of nature

A little fairy flew at a high speed and slipped pass dense greeneries in a fluid motion. Its wings shone when kissed by sunlight creating sparkling afterimage.

It had just come to this world, although it innately knew many things, it did not know why the magical energy gathered to that direction. Instinctively, it knew that there was an opportunity awaits at the source of this. If it could exploit it, it would be beneficial for its growth.

But leaving its birthplace means exposing itself to danger. And the journey was filled with danger. This primal world was dragon's pool and tiger's den with danger lurking in every corner. Since it needed to be constantly on the move, it could not use concealment, exposing itself to the world.

As the little fairy was getting closer to the end of magical energy trail, it discovered its own kinfolks that were also heading to the same direction. It was over joyed by this encounter.

There is strength in numbers. The little fairy went towards its kinfolks and decided to travel in group towards their destination. Despite being born in less than one day, they could communicate among themselves with their own language.

The little fairy actively led its kinfolks towards safer and shorter route. It assigned survey tasks among them to every direction so that they would be notified by incoming danger. Because of its charisma, other fairies followed the order of the little fairy and managed to avoid danger multiple times.

But their journey met a setback. A murderous aura was fast approaching from behind and soon came to sight. A two-legged reptile-type ancient primordial beast was chasing after them and ploughing through the forest in a straight line.

The fairies panicked a little as this reptile-type ancient primordial beast was league stronger than any primordial beasts they had encountered. With its speed, it would catch up with them in a few breaths.

The little fairy hastily ordered its group to accelerate. Since their presence was found, the little fairy decided to abandon cautiousness and risked it to move at higher pace.

Their speed was suddenly doubled and left the reptile-type ancient primordial beast in dust. Do not look down at their tiny figure, their body was packed with magical energy equivalent to magical energy needed to keep magical engine running for years.

When the reptile-type ancient primordial beast saw that its delicious preys were no longer insight, it was enraged. It had just caught up with its preys yet was left behind again. It could still sense the presence of the fairies so the reptile did not give up on this opportunity.

"Roar!"

It released a powerful fire breath clearing the trees hindering its path and sprinted forward with its two muscular legs. Its upper body leaned forward and its meaty tail stood horizontal to the ground, giving the reptile-type ancient primordial beast stability when sprinting.

If Earthling saw the reptile-type ancient primordial beast, they would surely describe it as the apex predator of Jurassic world, the tyrannosaurus rex and confused as why a T-rex could run so fast. But it was only similar to T-rex and essentially was an otherworldly ancient primordial beast.

The little fairy could hear the commotion so it told the group not to slow down their pace. They took higher altitude and flew above the tree tops so that they could move in straight line without the trees hindering them.

But it seemed like lady luck was not on their side.

Far in front of them was another ancient primordial beast, openly blocking their way. It was a feline-type ancient primordial beast with a jet-black pelt covering its body. It stood there as if knowing the fairies would come to where it was.

Now the fairies were cornered from North and South. Cunning feline-type in front and aggressive reptile-type at back.

Going sideways would also be the same result with them cornered from front and back. Slipping pass the feline-type ancient primordial beast would be a death wish. Bypassing the reptile-type ancient primordial beast would be a waste of energy and extension of their journey.

The little fairy exhausted its mind thinking of possibility to keep the group alive. The last resort was to split up and run to every direction so that the ancient primordial beasts could not catch them together.

This would increase the probability of their survival but certain sacrifice must be made. The little fairy did not want to abandon any of its kinfolks. It needed to distract the two ancient primordial beasts to buy some time.

When the little fairy closely observed the two ancient primordial beasts, it suddenly got an idea. It hastily led the group towards the feline-type ancient primordial beast.

When the fairies almost arrived at the feline-type ancient primordial beast's range of activity, the reptile-type ancient primordial beast was even more enraged than when it was left behind by the fairies.

It had considered those fairies its own prey and did not plan on letting any of it free even more so sharing it with other, but now the feline-type ancient primordial beast wanted to snatch its food, it was very angry. It hated this sneaky kind of beast the most.

To defend what were rightfully its, the reptile-type ancient primordial beast promptly launched an attack towards the feline-type ancient primordial beast. A red ball of fire suddenly fell from high altitude towards the feline-type ancient primordial beast, lighting the sky red.

The feline-type ancient primordial beast sprang to its right, evading the sudden attack by inches. Although it was not directly hit, the feline-type ancient primordial beast suffered the impact when the fire ball exploded, charring its fur.

"Roar!"

The feline-type ancient primordial beast roared towards the reptile-type ancient primordial beast in anger.

The fairies had already taken the chance to run further away from the area. It was tiger's and dragon's fight. They would only suffer if they stay. The little fairy was pleased that its plan worked and led the group to safety. But the little fairy could not celebrate for so long.

The feline-type ancient primordial beast did not follow the usual script. Although it was attacked by reptile-type ancient primordial beast, the feline-type ancient primordial beast just evaded the attacks without counterattacking. Its focus was still on the group of fairies.

The feline-type ancient primordial beast noticed that the fairies were fleeing. It did not have time to mess around with the reptile-type ancient primordial beast. So, after successfully evading the barrage of meteor showers, it sprinted towards the fairies.

The reptile-type ancient primordial beast was ignored and ditched for the second time today. It felt really insulted. It needs to teach the fairies and the feline-type ancient primordial beast an unforgettable lesson for ignoring it.

Although the reptile-type ancient primordial beast could run fast, long endurance activity was not its specialty. Current speed was its limit. But now it was very enraged and wanted to reach the fairies at all cost.

The reptile-type ancient primordial beast focused its magical energy to its legs and leaped forward. Tear! The reptile-type ancient primordial beast could hear a loud tearing sound from its leg and burning pain that followed after, but it steeled it and made another leap.

The reptile-type ancient primordial beast sacrificed its vitality in order to move at the speed of sound. It had not done so other than a live-and-death situation since the backlash was very severe. But even a lion used all its might to hunt rabbit, what's more so this mighty king.

Because of its sacrifice, the reptile-type ancient primordial beast once more caught up with the fairies and the feline-type ancient primordial beast and even overtook them.

The fairies were surrounded once again. Now the reptile-type ancient primordial beast blocked the front and the feline-type ancient primordial beast blocked the back.

The little fairy was helpless. Its plan had failed. Now it could only resort on splitting the group and run to all directions.

Both ancient primordial beasts looked at each other and instantaneously pounced towards the fairies.

Just as the little fairy was about to order the escape, a humanoid figure abruptly appeared before the fairies and blocked the attacks from both sides. His wide back faced them. His hands spread left and right.

Both ancient primordial beasts were still a distance away from the figure, but their advances met a thick wall. Wide glowing magic circle appeared under them and thick thread conjured out of it binding the ancient primordial beasts to the ground.

Every parties were alarmed by this sudden event.

After some observation, the fairies sensed no malice from this figure and accepted his good intention of helping them. The little fairy let out a sigh of relief as they were saved.

However, the ancient primordial beasts were not relieved as the fairies and felt frighten instead. They could not muster their energy and were mysteriously bounded to the ground by this small figure. They loudly roared in anger.

The figure looked deeply at the two ancient primordial beasts. Suddenly, a cyan longsword appeared at his hand.

With two swift strikes, the figure decapitated both reptile-type and feline-type ancient primordial beasts.

Before their heads fall to the ground, they were promptly stored inside the 'Void Storage'. That was the end of two hegemon that brought terror throughout the continents.

The little fairy was fixated at the figure that heroically appeared before it. It vowed to itself to become as strong as this figure to protect its loved ones.

The figure that ended the ancient primordial beasts was none other than Ebraham.

But simultaneously, similar events happened throughout Northern Hemisphere. Similar 2meter-small figures appeared when the fairies were attacked and saved them from being devoured.

After thanking the figures, the fairies continued their journey to the end of magical energy trail. As they turned around, they found a long floating channel leading to the end of magical energy trail, unknowing when it had appeared.

The fairies curiously entered the straight channel and followed its direction. Sensing no obstructions inside the channel, the fairies flew at top speed and safely arrived at the end of magical energy trail.

At the end of the long channel, the fairies found themselves inside of a tall and large building. The high sky-scraping atrium that allowed sunlight to shine inside the building showed that the building was very tall.

At this opening, there were five other channels going to five directions other than the one the fairies came from. At the centre of the wide atrium was a ground-to-sky 1meter-wide blue glowing pillar. The end of magical energy trail was this pillar.

When the fairies examining the blue pillar, other group of fairies also arrived at the building from the other channels. They eagerly mixed among themselves and became siblings in no time.

When the fairies went at the base of the blue pillar, they found the figure that saved them from danger.
