The people gave them a farwell and safety to their journey, they also waved back and also said farwell to the people, and the Carraige starts driving while Altair is still waving at the people and Danielle smiling.
•At the Titius Organization•
Canus teleported away from Danger because of Tzukaga's Interference, and when he teleported away to Titius Organization, a Man thats sitting on the throne thats called, "The Curse Throne".
His appearance takes a long black hair with black eyes, and purple pupil thats shaped like an Decagon, and he has a Black-Greyish Outfit with long sleeves, with curses around him, he has long grey pants and black shoes, he wears "Curse wearer gloves" to help him control his curses.
The Cursed Throne, is built by curses from him, which he has a ton of it, by being the Ruler of all Curses.
Canis bows before him and spoke shakingly with fear towards him.
"I failed the mission, Master Scuti."
Yui Scuti, The Ethereal of Curse and One of the Strongest yet ever, he spoke coldly with a slight fury against him.
"How foolish of you, losing to a mere knight..?"
Canis cannot stop sweating and is nervous, he has failed the mission that was assigned him to do by himself because he was Prideful, now his Pride was shattered because of Tzukaga, he Clenches his fists in anger towards that guy.
"I'm sorry master, but will you give me another cha--"
Scuti instantaneously cuts Canis's jaw by just swinging his pinky finger Softly, and he was bleeding and cannot scream because its against the rules of the Titius Organization for one of the 5 Majors to Scream like they need help.
"I'll give you another chance, but.. if you fail again, i'll have to rip you off while cancelling your regeneration."
Canis bowed and nodded respectfully and stood up putting his palm on his chest calmly.
"Yes sir!.."
And he teleported away, while Scuti drinks his Cursed Drink, and after, closing his eyes.
•Back to the Trio•
They arrived at the well known Forest that has a ton of reserves and animals roaming around, rarely beasts and monsters, but they are uncommon in the night.
A sign called "Welcome to Gethsemane's Forest", the forest thats owned by Gethsemane, the Ethereal of Nature,when they entered, they all saw a beaming light, majestic trees, chirping of the birds, and the squirrels running around and many more, Altair had gleaming eyes instantly because of the forest's looks, and Danielle surprised and smiles at the forest that they we're about to set camp in.
Getau gets out of his horse and ties the Carraige and the Horse so the horse wouldn't run away without them noticing, they walked to the forest, The System appears and clarifies and explains the Forest.
< Gethsemane's Forest >
- It is a 1000 year old forest thats always owned by the Ethereal of Nature every century, if the current Ethereal of Nature dies, it's daughters, will take control and care for it.
- It has a small village in it, called the Gethsemane village, it has roughly around 120 people.
- Diameter of the forest around 3 Miles, and is in the Southeast of the Shaul City.
Danielle is Surprised by the Forest, with a village thats equal as prosperous on Shaul City, the Aesthetic and Glorious Forest was blooming on them, and suddenly a hostile curse wolf tried to attack them, but Danielle swiftly dodged and stabbed its core.
Altair investigates the wolf and the wolf was Manipulated with a Curse thats put in the wolf's center.
"That's why it's hostile.."
Danielle looked at the wolf and puts his sword on his Scabbard thats dark in color and spoke while looking straight.
"Come on, we still have time, let's go."
Danielle walked as Altair stood up and followed him behind along with Getau, Getau looked at the wolf and uses his secret skill, "Animal Hearing.", and the wolf spoke like a whisper to him.
"Retreat.. back.."
Getau was in shock when he heard those words to an Wolf thats about to die and was cursed, Getau shouted at Altair and Danielle to stop.
"WAIT!, Guys!, stop!!."
Danielle suddenly stopped and so did Altair, they we're surprised of Getau's sudden shout of them to stop, so Danielle questioned.
"What do you mean..?"
Getau spoke with a shaken voice and reveals his skill.
"I have an Animal Hearing ability.. that lets me speak to Animals and hear them speak.. the wolf said to retreat.."
Altair in shock also got a tingle on her back, Danielle looked behind and looked at them, with a sigh, he just trusts Getau because it's his friend.
"Alright fine, lets retreat in this forest but can't we wait..?"
Altair nods and agrees to Danielle and spoke.
"Mhm!!.. we should wait first, Daniel is strong anyways!."
Getau worried and just shakes his head, and his thoughts we're all worry and shaken.. "What if we stumble on another monster..?", he spoke in his thoughts while his both hands in his head.
Then a sudden loud scream like a creature, it caused an small earthquake and the Trio we're shaken on the sudden scream, after the scream disspears in the depths of the forest Altair and Getau we're both scared and freaked out, Danielle on the other hand, cold, and just looked behind him where the scream is.
"Lets explore deeper."
Danielle walked in the direction of the scream is, Altair shocked with Danielle's brave attitude spoke loudly.
"Are you insane?!!, that creature is probably 100 meters tall you idiot!."
Getau agrees with Altair and is also surprised with Danielle's brave attitude.
"Yeah!, we might even die if we approach it a little!!.."
Danielle just ignored them with a face of annoyance, so Altair just groaned loudly and just followed Danielle's lead, and Getau sighed deeply and spoke.
"I swear i'll hunt you if i die."
After walking for minutes, they saw a village in the distance, they already know what the village is, because theres a sign saying..
<Welcome to Gethsemane Village>
When they entered the village, all they saw was... Nothing, Empty roads and houses, like the people disappeared from existence, all 120 people we're gone, even the system didn't appear because it was also shocked, in confusion.
They all checked house to house, all they saw was empty insides, only some furnitures and stuff in the house, but the lamps were all on, confused, wanted to investigate more further, but they saw no traces of people's outfits, and identity.
Getau sighed and scratched his head.
"I'm going out for a bit.."
But when Getau opened the door, he flinched, in shock in his face, there was cursed wolves, their eyes glowing in purple, Getau backed away and making the mistake that he left the door open because he was scared and stumbled loudly on the ground.
Danielle heard Getau stumble loud, and first Altair came to check running, and she saw Getau in the ground scared, she looks at the Cursed Wolves with shock on how did they enter, but she noticed that the door was open.
He looked at Getau with a mad expression on her face, eventually, Danielle came and pulled out his sword, and slashed the manipulated cursed wolves easily, but unfortunately for them, when Danielle walked outside, the house that they we're in, was encircled and full of Cursed Wolves around them, Getau and Altair also noticed, terrified.
Danielle's pupils instantly became red and Heptagon shaped, and his blade glows, an effect of the Supreme power of the Dark Angel, and he uses his technique when he faught Canis, "Overwhelming Tide", by twisting his sword 120 degrees and slashing the air, causing a Enormous air tide pressure towards the horde of Wolves, most of them died because of the insane force and breaking their bones, but there was a ton left that either dodged or survived the Technique miraculously.
Altair's eyes we're suddenly all sparkling white, and she puts her hand on Danielle's Shoulder.
"Let.. me handle this.."
Danielle in shock, looked at her white sparkling eyes, confused and startled with questions, but Altair softly pushed him back, her hair became white, and her pupil became blue in color and it's shape being Decagon, her scared look became a cold and majestic look.
The wolves came at her with full speed, but for her, she freezes them by turning their temperature of their bodies negative 3,433 Celsius, the System appeared on Danielle's face, with his look surprised of her shown secret Ethereal of Snow power.
<There are currently 500,000 wolves around you.>
But for Altair, froze all 500,000 of them withen a second with her Ethereal powers, she is titled the Snow Princess due to her Ethereal status and powers, after her awakening she wears off, her hair turned blone in color again, and her eyes became crystal blue with her pupil being white diamond again.
She was surprised on what happened, she looked around the 500,000 wolves.. we're all frozen and dead, while Getau and Danielle, in pure, deep shock because they had only seen Altair as an Beautiful, but scared girl.
Altair looked at them with a silly face and scratching her back of her head, while her tongue out, Danielle walked towards her, and hugged her tightly.
"I didn't know you we're that powerful.."
Altair in shock that Danielle hugged her, but she hugs him back while having a soft smile, Getau being left out, just gave a thumbs up.
"Cool, nice."
And he just inspected the wolves that we're freezed to death by Altair, and Danielle smiled towards her, and looked at Getau being left out, he chuckled and Altair nods towards him, so he walked towards Getau.
"Hey dude!, you did great by your skill to speak to Animals!!"
Getau smiled and chuckled while looking away because of Danielle's compliment to his skill.
"Thanks... i guess."
Danielle pats Getau's back and laughed, so did Getau, he smiled and Altair walked towards them and laughed softly, The Trio laughed joyfully and happily after the Cursed Wolves Incident.
They explored deeper to the forest, wanting to discover on the scream that caused a little earthquake before, when they went deeper.. and deeper, the more dangerous monsters appear and interfere to their journey on the Gethsemane's Forest.
They had some struggles to come through, but Danielle just casually killed most of them with no sweat, when they finally came to the place where they heard the loud scream, all of them.. we're in shock, their eyes widen.
It was a beast, it has an appearance of an 80 Meter Lion, called.. "Jagoza", Danielle gains his confidence, and activates his wings, except his halo, and flies towards the beast's head, the beast tried to kill him instantly by swinging his hand towards Danielle, but with Danielle's precision and agility, he dodges and lands at the Beast Lion's fur.
He lifts his sword up in the air, and preparing to stab him, he charges his blade with his mana, making the stab even more powerful then ever, his Pupil for a second became a shape of a Decagon, and it switched to Heptagon, then.. Danielle stabbed the Lion's skull and brain with his new technique called, "Dark Voltex".
Altair and Getau is in a safe distance, so they wouldn't get hurt by Danielle's outstanding techniques, the Lion screamed in agony and pain, causing a massive earthquake that can shatter houses, The Trio we're all shocked, and tried to hold on to the massive earthquake, caused by the Lion, after it calmed down.. the Lion is dead.
"Finally.. that earthquake was crap.."
Danielle sighed and pulls his sword out of the Lion's head, and puts it back on his Scabbard, Getau falls down to the grass, huffing and puffing while speaking.
"Can't this journey end?!, this is why we should bring Tzukaga.."
Altair nooded in agreement towards Getau, while crossing her arms.
"Mhm!, we should've bring Tzukaga!!--"
Danielle interrupted them with annoyance, and spoke.
"That guy is literally on Duty, he literally has an Oath.."
Then Danielle spoke seriously and looked at his hand.
"But it's weird that when back then, he puts Divine Protection for both me.. and Altair, but when i faught canis, it.. didn't work."
Altair spoke in shock and also realized.
"Now that you mention it.. how..?"
System appeared Infront of Danielle, Danielle looked straight to the system.
Getau interrupts him and pats Danielle's shoulder.
"We should go now, a ant said.. 'our journey is over'.."
Altair stretches and finally hyped because the journey to the Gethsemane's Forest is done.
"Finally!.. ah, that hurts."
Danielle looked around, and looks behind him, Altair and Getau was ready to leave, so he sighed and spoke.
"Alright.. let's leave.."
The Trio eventually walked their wat out of the forest after an hour of continuous walking, and they are ready to explore more, dangerous, deeper missions!..
