Chereads / Mariel: The Goddess of War / Chapter 25 - Overnight field trip (part two).

Chapter 25 - Overnight field trip (part two).

The morning dawned with the sun shining brightly, teachers and students all woke up early in the morning. They all took a shower and got dressed in their own private bathroom, then came out to eat a delicious breakfast together in front of the three buildings.

Once everyone was full, it was time to depart for an ancient site further up the valley. The school buses took about two hours to travel to this ancient site. The buses stopped at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the ancient site, everyone felt a mysterious atmosphere throughout the area.

"Welcome, everyone." The security wizard who protected this ancient site walked in and greeted everyone. This person was an elderly man who looked to be in his 70 years old, wearing a long brown robe with a hood over his head and holding an old staff.

"Hello! Please guided us today." the headmaster said.

"You're welcome! Please, follow me. Everyone and children." said the old man, turning around in front of everyone and walking up the old stone steps in front of him.

Teachers and all the students followed the old man up the stone stairs slowly at a time. The atmosphere was like a mystery place while they were walking up to an ancient site. This ancient site was higher than a valley covered by large trees covering all sides.

"It looked very mysterious, Mariel." Frederick said as he looked to the left side, then right side while he saw large trees and smoke covering the entire area, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Yes, I think so." Mariel replied.

Hundreds of steps were walked up to the top floor. When everyone came to the main place, they found that it was a very large and wide arena. Every area had broken rocks and ruins all over the area.

The students felt the atmosphere of the fierce battles in the past, which made them feel very excited. The faint haze and scattered rubble made it seem like everyone was involved in the battle.

"Hundreds of years ago, since the legend warriors had fought against countless demons and dark mages, there were fierce battles that continued until countless times. This battle made this ancient site seem like one of the most important places where warriors and mages came to fight demons. Some people were alive, but others had to leave their lives here. Let's explore this area and we would go inside soon." said by the old man.

Teachers and students walked around looking at this ancient site with determination. Many students took out their notebooks and wrote down detailed descriptions of the various places and atmospheres that they encountered. Some students also draw illustrations for the part in their reports.

Mariel walked around this place intently. She tried to look around every area where the rocky ground was like a sinkhole and all the rubble scattered everywhere.

"All legend warriors and wizards had made their mark in this place. They were all remembered as legendary heroes." Mariel wrote details in her notebook.

*Wink*

As everyone was walking around, Mariel suddenly noticed the remains of only half of the stone pillars in the southwest corner of the ancient site. It looked like a glowing purple symbol, but it couldn't see clearly.

"Did you see the symbol on that pillar?" Mariel called out to Frederick and the other friends to turn their heads and looked at that stone pillar.

"I didn't see anything here. Did you sure about this?" Claire said, looking at Mariel with dazed eyes.

"We didn't see anything. You might be imagining it by yourself." Frederick said in the same way.

After that, everyone continued to look at the other stone pillars. Mariel sensed something unusual and slowly walked towards that stone pillar.

An unreadable ancient Kale-like symbol slowly glowed with a purple color.

Mariel slowly touched the symbols with her hand until...

!!!!!!!!!!

There was a small electric spark at the ancient Kal symbol, then....

*Scream!!!* Mariel shouted with pain.

An electrical current shot Mariel in the head, causing her to fall to the ground. There was no response from her anymore. This caused other people to come in and look at her with concern.

"Are you all right? Mariel." Frederick rushed to be the first to check on her condition and held Mariel in his arms with concern.

Other teachers also ran to them and checked on Mariel in panic and shouted Mariel's name non-stop. The teachers asked other students not to crowd together because it would make Mariel had too hard in breathing.

 

In the depths of darkness, Mariel seemed to have been teleported to this ancient site again, but the appearance was different from before.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of magic casting was like a fierce battlefield until dust settled everywhere. The corpses of hundreds of dead warriors were scattered everywhere, like the corpses of demons and dark wizards who had partially decomposed and lay scattered all over the area as well.

"Multi Heal!" A voice sounded from behind Mariel. When she turned to look, it appeared that a green light shot across her face, barely recovering the strength of the male swordsman warrior who was fighting one on one with the strongest demon lord who was fighting against him.

Clank! Clank! the sound of swords colliding with claws resounded everywhere.

On the other side, sword-shield warriors and wizards were fighting with dark mages and hundreds of winged demons, causing many people to die.

"Victor! Kill the Demon Lord now!" a tall man who wearing heavy armor shouted to the swordsman.

"I'm trying!!!!" Victor shouted back with a serious face.

"It won't be easy to kill me, kids!" The Demon Lord sneered.

With the dust everywhere, Mariel couldn't see everyone's faces very clearly.

Victor suddenly concentrated his energy on his sword, which had a handle patterned like a dragon.

"The Infernal Fire Dragon Sword!" Victor shouted as his sword released the highest level of fire magic power until the temperature in that area was as hot as it would be burned to ashes.

"Ultimate Dark magic Claws!" The demon lord released his dark magic energy to his metal claws, preparing to fight against Victor.

Mariel was most excited about The Infernal Fire Dragon Sword being about to collide with the Dark Magic Claws in just a few moments.

CLANK!!!!!!!!

Two extremely powerful magical powers collided with each other, causing a loud noise to be heard all around. A bright light, glowing red and black, spread throughout the ancient ruins, almost bursting into pieces.

Mariel suddenly felt like she was being sucked back into the darkness again. She hadn't even seen the end of this fierce battle yet.

"Mariel! Mariel! Wake up!" The female teacher's voice continued to shake her body and use her magic power to cure Mariel's unconsciousness without any effort.

Mariel slowly opened her eyes until everyone was relieved and happy that she had regained consciousness again.

"We are really worried about you." Frederick said worriedly.

"How long did I had been unconscious?" Mariel asked.

"Almost an hour. Did you want to go back and wait on the bus first? I would teleport you and me to the bus together and took care of you." the female teacher asked.

"Never mind. I was getting better. Maybe I didn't get enough sleep last night." Mariel said.

"If you felt dizzy again, please told me, ok?" the female teacher said, walking beside Mariel in case she fainted again.

"Ok." Mariel said.

Everyone then walked into the main hall to look at the stone carvings of many ancient gods and warriors who had created legends of defeating the Demon Lord.

The students wrote down details from the description of the uncle who protected this ancient site about its history which included the history of each of the 5 warriors who left their work to successfully seal the Demon Lord hundreds of years ago.

The time has passed. They all walked downstairs to the parking lot to take the school buses to the various flower gardens. It was not very far from this ancient site.

The headmaster, teachers, and students all waved goodbye to the uncle who was the protector of this ancient site. As soon as the three school buses drove out of sight, the uncle raised his head and looked at the sky that was shining brightly below where he stood.

"Lord Victor! The 2nd generation legendary swordsman has appeared!" The uncle said with a smile.

 

In the sky, somewhere there appeared a large white marble castle floating in place. There were countless rooms inside of this castle.

On the window of the castle's top floor, it appeared as a legendary swordsman who was wearing silver warrior armor, looking curiously at the ground below.

"It's already happened!" The legendary swordsman said with a smile.

"Is there something wrong? Victor." a tall and muscle man who also wearing heavy silver armor asked curiously while standing behind him.

"It's nothing. Don't mention it." Victor replied before turning around and preparing to walk back into the inner castle.

"Hope that to see you soon, the 2nd generation legendary swordsman." The young warrior turned his head to look out the window again and spoke.

Then the two of them walked back into the inner castle together.

 

The 3 school buses drove to a garden with many kinds of flowers. The students relaxed in nature and admired these beautiful sights and almost forgot about time.

"The flowers were very beautiful." Frederick said, pointing at the bright red flowers in front of him.

"Yes, I think so." Mariel replied, who was also amazed at the flower garden.

Mariel and Frederick, along with other couples of friends, came together to admire the many beautiful flowers until the evening fell into the evening. The teachers called all the students' names and headed back to their accommodations.

When everyone returned to their overnight accommodations, they all separated into their own rooms to shower and changed into their pajamas. Then, they came out to the courtyard in front of the three buildings, they found that the teachers had prepared 10 different dishes along with many fruits and juices that looked delicious.

The teachers and students ate dinner until they were full. Then they talked about what they had visited today. As night fell, they separated into their own bedrooms because they would have to return to the village where the parents would be waiting at the school before the school buses arrived.

 

In the middle of the night, everyone was asleep. Mariel suddenly woke up and went to the toilet. When she was about to return to her own bed, it felt like there was a voice calling outside the building. This voice was called from a forest covered throughout the buildings.

Mariel looked out the window and saw that it was a ghost that looked like a girl who looked at Mariel too.

"You...come out to me please." A ghost girl called out.

Mariel seemed to be hypnotized and slowly opened the window. She walked to the back of the building where she lived.

A ghost girl slowly reached her hand out to touch and Mariel also did the same as her.

"Let's go and find a place to talk." A ghost who was a girl with long silver hair, silver eyes and wearing a long white robe said with a friendly smile.

The ghost girl then led Mariel into the deep forest without anyone knowing.
