Bab 7 : A new secure, A new dangerous

As they were riding their horses together, Vell and Rika made jokes and talked about their dreams. However, they were suddenly surrounded by a group of giants, each standing at a height of 240cm and with blueish bodies. The giants asked Vell and Rika about their purpose and if they were criminals or not.

Vell: "Whoa, easy there big guys. We're just passing through."

Rika: "Yes, we're not here to cause any trouble."

Giant: "What are you two doing here? We've never seen humans this close to our territory before."

Vell: "We're on a journey to the Sacred Kingdom. We heard it's a place of peace and prosperity."

Giant: "That's correct. But why are you traveling through our territory? It's dangerous for humans to be here."

Rika: "We didn't know. We're sorry if we've caused any trouble."

Vell: "Is there anything we can do to make it up to you? We don't want to be a burden on anyone."

The giants talked amongst themselves before one of them spoke up.

Giant: "Very well. We'll let you go this time. But be careful from now on. There are many dangers in these lands."

Vell and Rika thanked the giants and continued on their journey. They couldn't help but feel a little in awe of the giants, as they had never seen creatures so big and powerful before. But they were also grateful for their kindness, and they made a promise to themselves to be more cautious in their travels.

As they were entering the path blocked by the sun, they were suddenly attacked by a rhinoceros-like giant that was 2 meters tall and very fast. Vell engaged in a fight with the rhinoceros, which resulted in his sword breaking and the horse running away from them.

Vell: "Whoa, this thing is fast! I need to dodge its charge!"

Rika: "Vell, be careful! I'll try to find a way out of here!"

Vell: "No, stay behind me! I'll protect you!"

The rhinoceros charged at Vell, who managed to dodge the attack but his sword broke in half.

Vell: "My sword! No, this can't be happening now!"

Rika: "Vell, the horse is running away! We have to go after it!"

Vell: "Right! We can't stay here!"

They started running after the horse but the rhinoceros was right behind them.

Vell: "I'll distract it, you go after the horse!"

Rika: "What?! No, I'm not leaving you here!"

Vell: "Just go, I'll catch up! I promise!"

Rika reluctantly agreed and ran after the horse, leaving Vell to face the rhinoceros alone.

Vell explains what happened to the leader of the query group, who then come to his aid, defeating the monster that was chasing him. Meanwhile, Rika is found by another group called the Zorka, whose appearance is similar to the query group but with slightly darker skin. The wife of the Zorka leader is interested in Rika, so she is taken to their location.

After Vell is rescued, he sets out to find Rika and comes across the Zorka, but they refuse to let him take Rika back. Vell seeks help from the query group, but their leader refuses as the query and Zorka are enemies.

Dialogue:

Vell: Leader of the query group, I need your help. Rika has been taken by the Zorka.

Leader of the query group: I'm sorry, Vell. The query and Zorka are enemies. We cannot help you.

Vell: Please, she's is my daughter. I need to get her back.

Leader of the query group: I understand your situation, but the safety of our group comes first. We cannot risk starting a war with the Zorka.

Vell: I understand. Thank you for your time. I'll find another way to rescue Rika.

The scene then shifts to Rika's situation with the Zorka.

Rika: Why have you taken me here? I want to leave.

Zorka leader's wife: I'm sorry, child. But I have taken a liking to you. I want you to stay with us.

Rika: I'm sorry, but I cannot stay. I must return to Vell.

Zorka leader's wife: I see. Well, I'm afraid I cannot let you leave.

The scene then shifts back to Vell's situation, where he is still searching for a way to rescue Rika.

Vell met with the blacksmith in the query tribe to make a new sword for himself and it was agreed upon by the blacksmith. The blacksmith informed Vell that in order to pay for the new sword, he needed to find the heart core from the giant rhinoceros-like beast. Vell set out to find it and stumbled upon the baby of the giant beast. He took the heart core and gave it to the blacksmith.

Vell: Excuse me, I am here to see the blacksmith.

Blacksmith: Ah, you must be the one who needs a new sword. What happened to your old one?

Vell: It was broken during a fight with a giant rhinoceros-like beast.

Blacksmith: Hmm, I see. And how do you plan on paying for the new sword?

Vell: I was told I need to find the heart core from that beast.

Blacksmith: That's correct. It's a rare and valuable item. Do you have it with you now?

Vell: Yes, I just got it from the baby of the beast. (Vell handed over the heart core to the blacksmith)

Blacksmith: Excellent! This will more than cover the cost of your new sword. I'll start working on it right away. Thank you.

Vell: Thank you, I really appreciate it. I hope the sword will serve me well in future battles.

Blacksmith: I'm sure it will. I'll make sure it's the finest sword you'll ever own.

And with that, Vell had a new sword and was ready for safe rika.

Vell sneaked into the area of the Zorka tribe and saw that several Query tribe members had been kidnapped and were being used as sacrifices to empower their leader. Vell attempted to rescue the captured Query tribe members, but failed as he was unable to fight against the leader of the Zorka tribe. He managed to escape and reported the situation to the leader of the Query tribe.

Vell: "I need to tell you what I saw. The Zorka tribe has kidnapped several members of our tribe and they're using them as sacrifices to empower their leader."

Leader of Query tribe: "What?! We must act quickly and save our people. Did you try to rescue them?"

Vell: "I tried, but I was no match for the Zorka tribe leader. I had to escape and report to you."

Leader of Query tribe: "We will gather our warriors and rescue our people. We cannot let this injustice continue."

Vell: "I'm ready to help in any way I can."

As the 9,000 soldiers gathered on their horses and flying steeds, they prepared to attack the Zorka tribe. The Zorka tribe soon became aware of the impending attack through the visions of the tribe leader's wife who had the ability to see potential threats to the tribe. The Zorka tribe quickly prepared their own 11,000 soldiers and mounts for battle, heading to the green meadow where the two tribes would clash.

As the two armies clashed in the middle of the battlefield, Vell and the Zorka tribe leader collided, beginning a fierce battle. Despite Vell's efforts, he was no match for the tribe leader. Suddenly, Vell felt a heat in his veins, his skin melting and turning into a fiery skull that surrounded his body. The battle resumed with a new strength, and Vell was now even more powerful than before.

"You will never defeat me!" Vell shouted as he charged towards the tribe leader.

"Ha! I've been waiting for this moment!" The Zorka tribe leader laughed, ready to take on Vell's new form.

The two clashed, their swords clashing against each other in a shower of sparks. The two were evenly matched, but the heat from Vell's fiery form proved too much for the tribe leader to handle. Vell was eventually able to strike a final blow, defeating the tribe leader and ending the battle.

As the soldiers gathered around Vell, cheering for their victory

After the battle, Vell turn to his normal dorm and continued to take the flying horse and went to the area of the Zorka tribe to find Rika. 200 soldiers from the Query tribe followed Vell.

Another battle took place in the Zorka tribe area. Vell ran to the Zorka palace and found that the wife of the Zorka leader had been killed . Vell was shocked, but he didn't let that stop him. He immediately embraced Rika who was in a state of shock.

"Rika, what happened here?" Vell asked, trying to calm her down.

"I-I don't know. I just woke up and saw her lying here," Rika replied, still in shock.

Vell quickly looked around the room and saw that there was a bloody knife next to the body. He picked it up and examined it.

"This knife belongs to the Zorka tribe. Rika, did you do this?" Vell asked, looking at her intently.

"No, Vell. I swear I didn't do this," Rika replied, tears streaming down her face.

Vell believed her and put down the knife. He hugged her again and whispered, "It's okay, I'm here for you."

Vell: "Who are you? Did you kill the leader's wife of the Zorka clan?"

Demon : "Yes, I did. What's it to you?"

Vell: "Nothing just Prepare yourself for a fight!"

Demon: "A fight? You think can defeat me?

Vell: " I don't know but you are dangerous "

Demon: " If that what you want "

The demon chuckled and drew out his own sword. Vell charged forward, swinging his sword with all his might. But the demon easily dodged and countered, striking Vell with a powerful blow.

Rika: "Vell, be careful!" she shouted, drawing her bow and aiming at the demon.

The demon swatted her arrow away and grabbed Rika by the neck.

Vell's anger boiled over, he summoned all the power he had and launched an attack on the demon, but once again he was easily defeated.

Demon : "You are no match for me, human. Give up now before I end you."

Vell: "I won't give up"

Rika: "Vell, don't! You can't beat him alone."

But it was too late. Vell continued his attack, determined to defeat the demon no matter what.

But once again been defeat

Vell, lying on the ground, struggled to keep his eyes open as he watched the battle between Rika and the demon. Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from Rika's hand and hit the demon's chest. The demon turned its attention to Rika, but Vell stood in its way, pushing it out of the palace.

The demon and Vell engaged in another battle, but once again Vell was defeated. Just as Vell was about to take his last breath, the leader of the Zorka clan, Fazui, arrived on his flying horse and crashed into the demon. The two of them were evenly matched in strength, and the demon asked Fazui who he was.

Fazui: "I am Fazui, the leader of the query clan."

Demon: "query clan? I've never heard of them before."

Fazui: "We are a group of warriors who have pledged to protect this land from demons like you."

Demon: "Ha! You think you can defeat me? I am one the strongest demon in this world!"

Fazui: "We shall see about that."

And with that, the battle between Fazui and the demon began. The two of them exchanged blows, each trying to gain the upper hand. Rika watched from the sidelines, trying to catch her breath after her battle with the demon. Vell, meanwhile, slowly regained consciousness, watching in awe as Fazui fought with all his might.

As the battle raged on, Vell realized that this was the moment he had been waiting for. He picked up his sword and stood up, determined to help Fazui defeat the demon.

As the battle raged on, Vell and Fazui continued to unleash powerful attacks against the demon. But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't seem to penetrate the demon's defenses.

Fazui then summoned lightning to his sword and swung it at the demon, finally managing to wound it. Taking advantage of the opening, Vell quickly lunged at the injury with his sword, but failed to connect. Meanwhile, Rika was keeping her distance, aiming her bow and arrow, which was imbued with her own power. With all her might, she released the arrow, which shot towards the demon with lightning speed, hitting the wound spot precisely. With the demon weakened, Vell quickly finished it off by stabbing it with his sword.

"We did it!" Vell exclaimed.

"Thanks to Rika's quick thinking," Fazui added, smiling at the young girl.

"I'm just glad I could help," Rika replied, blushing slightly at the praise.

After the victory over the Zorka troop, Vell and Rika returned to the base of the Query tripe. The remaining soldiers of the Zorka tripe were forced to switch their allegiance to the query tripe. Vell and Rika took some time to rest and recover from the injuries they sustained during the battle against the demon.

Fazui expressed his gratitude towards Rika and Vell for their help and assistance during the battle. They all had a feast to celebrate their victory. After two weeks, Vell and Rika resumed their journey towards the Holy Kingdom.

"I am so glad to have you two with join us just now to fight a demon ," Fazui said, addressing Vell and Rika. "Without your help, we wouldn't have been able to defeat the demon."

"It was our pleasure," Rika replied with a smile.

"So, what's next for you two?" Fazui asked.

"We are continuing our journey towards the Holy Kingdom," Rika answered. "We have been on this journey for a long time, and we won't stop until we reach our destination."

"Well, if you ever need our help again, don't hesitate to ask," Fazui said. "The query tripe will always be here to support you."

"Thank you, Fazui," Rika said, feeling grateful for the support and kindness shown by the tribe troop.

And with that, Vell and Rika continued their journey
