"We have to protect Azusa no matter what happens, remember that," Raven commanded as he once again conjured a fire Phoenix.

"We understand," they replied.

Their bodies are reaching its limit, their energies too little for them to even bring out their weapons. They made a mistake by bringing White down with all they got. And now, a far stronger appeared and they couldn"t even do anything other than to put a but on his cape.

Silver flicked his finger and another phoenix appeared devouring what Raven have conjured.

Azusa have lost consciousness a while ago when Silver almost got her. Mamoru was just able to create a ball of earth around her, Karen did the same and strengthened the earth. Hideyos.h.i.+ and Theo placed another layer of protection with their winds, Feena added another with water and Raven finished it with his fire. Despite being inside this ball Azusa could still breath just fine.

"How futile. It is obvious that you all just got this strength. How pathetic," Silver laughed as he once again attacked them.

"Sorry," was what Feena and Karen said before they finally collapsed as well.

Raven have sent the flare for a while now ever since those guys appeared. He already have a bad feeling about their appearance, he knows help will come not long after. But in the end they are still a day away from the kingdom. They just decided to rest before continuing as they plan for what to do in this escort mission.

he thought as they try to defend the attacks coming from around them.

Silver might be alone but his abilities are all element abilities. And the way he controls it only means that he is far far stronger than White whom they fought a while ago.

"I"m getting tired of this," Silver said as he released another tornado attack.

Defending it caused both Theo and Hideyos.h.i.+ to collapse as well.

"I don"t think I could hold any longer too, sorry Raven," Mamoru said as he defended another attack to Azusa who is still inside the ball.

Silver laughed before flicking his finger and more water appeared, like a tsunami trying to engulf them. This finally caused Mamoru to collapse.

Raven used all he got to create inferno, but with his development in controlling his ability. He was able to make inferno, not an attack one but a defense magic. Engulfing all his friends and the other knights protecting them from Silver"s onslaught.


"I am amazed, for you to have reached this point in controlling your fire. But it"s sad I have to end your life here, I don"t need anyone becoming a threat to us," Silver commented as he conjured a ball of ability comprising of all the elements.

But before he could throw it down, his head snapped to the direction of Aurora kingdom. Raven have already lost consciousness after releasing inferno so he didn"t feel it.

"What monstrous aura," Silver muttered.

"Silver, what are you still doing? Return now," the voice calling for him a while ago have called once again.

"Yes, my lord. I"m on my way."

He then threw down the ball and used dashed away using his wind. He waited for the explosion but nothing came. Though curious as to why nothing have happened he decided to leave it for now. And go on his way.

"What took you so long?"

"I and White have encountered some knights from Aurora Kingdom, and decided to play with them. It"s just we have underestimated them and it caused White"s life. I was about to finish them when I felt a monstrous aura coming from their kingdom. Then you have called for me, my lord," he reported as he knelt down.

"A monstrous aura?"

"Yes, my lord. If I evaluate it he might be half of your own."

"Half of mine? Hmmm intriguing. It could be that person. But we will leave that for another time. For now I called you back because that place is almost ready for the attack. I wanted you to oversee their final preparations. As for white, well we could just find a replacement for him on another world," the lord commanded as he turned his back.

"And… No it was nothing, I"ll be taking my leave now," Silver then left the room.

He was about to say something about Azusa but have decided against it. If his lord finds out that even he have not taken Azusa back then it might be his end. He almost killed her as well when he threw that ball of abilities.

"I want to meet that person, if it is indeed true then the end is near," he laughed as he watched the outside from the window.

Eureka coughed up a mouthful of blood before she approached Raven. That attack just now, caused her a lot. But she is still happy that all seven of them are alive, but Raven is on the verge of…

She stopped thinking and approached him, a few moments later Yukimura came, completely shock of the damage on their surroundings.

"Is something wrong with him?" he asked Eureka.

"Help me bring him on a secluded place. He won"t make it back in Aurora kingdom. We can only help him here," Eureka replied.

"Is he gravely injured?" Yukimura asked as well as he carried his son.

"He is indeed injured but most of all his energy is almost gone."

"Bring the others back to the kingdom, we"ll just follow after you," Yukimura commanded as the other generals appeared.

On a part of the forest where the trees are big enough to hide them.

"Once I gave you the signal inject your energy on him. Remember do it slowly. Raise it when I told you so and you can only stop once I said so," Eureka said as she clapped her hands and placed it on top of Raven"s chest.

Yukimura did as she has instructed, time pa.s.sed and slowly Raven"s complexion have greatly improved. After who knows how long, "You can stop now sir."

Eureka leaned on one of the tree"s roots and Yukimura did the same.

"Are you alright?" he asked seeing how weakened she looked.

"I"m fine sir. Just tired. Doing this three times in a row just drained me. Even after that month of rest was gone," Eureka replied as she weakly stood up.

"We have helped him now with his energy we have to bring him back to the kingdom to help tend his wounds," she said as she rode her own horse.

"What did you do?" Yukimura asked as he carried his son on his horse before riding it himself and left.

"Raven did something stupid again and ended up having energy deficiency. Our energies would of course regenerate on its own but he used too much ending up with his body that could no longer regenerate the energy that was lost. If you didn"t came then we would have lost him."

"Will there really be no helping him if I didn"t come?" Yukimura asked.

Eureka thought but did not speak.

Yukimura understood that she has a way but it has its own negative effect. Their ride back to the kingdom was quiet and fast.

Upon arriving to the hospital, Akito took charge of him and brought him in one of the rooms that is lined up.

"What took you so long?" Akihiro asked. When everyone was brought in he was completely lost for words. Some of those 50 knights that have joined them were gravely injured, all six of them are obviously almost our of energy at the same time wounded. His heart thumped when Yukimura, Eureka and Raven didn"t come with them but was left behind. What was reported to him is that Eureka and Yukimura have to tend to him before bringing him back.

"He is out of danger now," was what Yukimura said as he approached Mutsumi.

"Why didn"t you send the generals on this escort mission, your highness?" Eureka suddenly asked.

"Cause I know that those seven are strong enough for this escort mission."

"Why didn"t you listen to my request back then?" Eureka once again asked

"I have a lot of things in my mind, and it slipped from it," Akihiro replied. His voice still have its authority.

"How many times have I asked you for something your highness?" she asked another.

"I don"t know. I am not taking note of all the requests asked to me by knights," he replied emphasizing the word knight.

Eureka clenched her fists, "I don"t care if I am merely a knight. But is this what you have wanted then, your highness?"

Akihiro did not answer.

"I asked you not to bring them out yet, but you ignored it and sent them on a mission. And now you are acting high and mighty with this outcome? YOU SENT THEM OUT TO BE KILLED!! WHAT OF IT DON"T YOU UNDERSTAND? I PROMISED YOU, YOUR HIGHNESS. I PROMISED YOU I"D WAKE THEM UP BUT YOU JUST HAVE TO GO AHEAD AND DISTRACT YOURSELF WITH IT."

Her eyes that should have been blind is actually showing a sign of anger within them.

"You sent them out when we aren"t even in an alliance. You sent them out when you could have sent the generals," she said.

"Even if I sent the generals wouldn"t this still be the outcome?"

"No, don"t belittle your own people," tear dropped from her eyes.
