38. Artillery Kingdom

While they're fighting, Thunder Phoenix is watching.

" One has speed and one has brawn. Cool." Thunder Phoenix thought.

Raliz had the hard time of making a blow on Lightning Robin. She was so fast and everytime she dodged another one will appear. There are times that she got hit but not serious. It is because Lightning Robin lack power and strength.

And so as she received those punches, she understood something. The way Lightning Robin attacked has a pattern.

Lightning Robin also noticed something on Raliz. She noticed that Raliz was not attacking.

" Is she trying to learn my moves?"

She didn't bother much on it and continued to attack. After a few minutes, Thunder Phoenix smiled. " Let the show begin."

A fist hit Raliz by the face and another one came down, Raliz just leaned and dodged it. Another one appeared and she dodged it.

Now, none of the punches touched Raliz. Lightning Robin was stunned. Raliz was abled to dodged every move.

In the eyes of an ordinary man, Raliz is fast enough to dodged them but she wasn't. In fact, Raliz is evading the attack more earlier than before. In other words, she predicted where or when would the attack would be.

She knew where would the attack would land next and what time will be.

But that wasn't enough. She wouldn't let herself be stuck at that situation. She analyzed more and she found an opening, a chance to strike back.

This time Raliz didn't evade but put her fist into the air. Suddenly, Lightning Robin was hit directly in the face. Blood flowed down on the corner of her lips.

" You read my moves. Impressive!" Lightning Robin complimented. She raised her hand and lightning is slowly appearing.

It came out and struck Raliz. Raliz was electrified.

Raliz dropped on the ground, convulsing. She stopped and her body stiffened.

" You're body will be paralyzed for few hours. And that means... I win..." Lightning Robin wanted to say more but a huge Vine grabbed her body and made her to stop moving.

Raliz stood up like nothing happened.

" Nature Magic!?" Her eyes were wide opened, she was flabbergasted. She couldn't believe that she have Nature Powers. She thought Raliz was paralyzed. Turns out, it was just a tricked to caught her off guard.

She didn't got paralyzed because Lightning Magic won't work on Nature type users.

" I win." Raliz smiled and she felt like a winner. She was amazed by Lightning Robin's ability too. Raliz has now a new level of respect for her.

She flicked her finger and let Lightning Robin go.

" You're smart and very powerful." Lightning Robin was a little embarrassed by her arrogance.

" Thank you. As well as you, you're fast!" Raliz laughed and a face of amazement could be seen on her face.

Witchita treated them immediately.

They talked for the moment. According to Lightning Robin, she was the daughter of the King in Artillery Kingdom. She didn't acknowledge herself as a princess though. It's because she doesn't like princess's stuffs. Raliz shared some stuffs too.

" So, You're here to deliver something, am I right?" Lightning Robin asked.

Everyone nodded.

" Well, I'd like to help you out but I'm so lazy right now. I was worn out." She said lazily like she really meant what she said.

She stood up and winked at Witchita.

" Well I'll be get going and you'll be get going to deliver it now." She turned around but Raliz asked a question.

" Where are you going?"

Lightning Robin looked at her and said, " I'm going to sleep." She jumped above the tree and rested herself at the branches.

" So she's a sloth?" Harry's eyes twitched.

" Yes, Harry, She is." Raliz sighed and walked towards the Kingdom. The Thunder Phoenix flew down and sit onto Raliz's shoulder. Raliz stroke Thunder Phoenix's feathers, and a few stroke later, it fell asleep.

" What the?! You two are the same. Strong but so lazy!" Raliz grunted. She put Thunder Phoenix back to the Space Storage.

...

They finally arrived at the Artillery Kingdom. Amongst the team, Raliz was the only one who was so curious. She touched almost everything that caught her sight. She looks like a kid.

But not everything really, only for the ones that looks cool and powerful. The name of the Kingdom was derived from its specialty, Artilleries.

They are expert of making weapons such as guns, swords and other weapons. But the most famous kind of weapons they make are Artilleries. Huge guns that had wide ranges and power like no other weapons could have.

These weapons are comparable to Legendary Items and Weapons.

Raliz and her team arrived the Castle and went to see the King.

They arrived at the throne room where the King was sitting. The King is huge and has large muscles. His presence is so scary that it's hard to look directly at him.

He wielded a pair of large gloves that have spike knuckles. He looks so powerful.

" Wow! He might be close to Legend Level!" Raliz was baffled by the King's power.

" King Armogard, we are here to deliver something to you from the Queen of Witches." Raliz released the box. She gave it to the servant and the servant brought it to King Armogard.

King Armogard opened the box and smiled.

" Thank you for delivering this successfully. You might have caught a lot of trouble when delivering this, haven't you?" King Armogard was amazed.

Raliz was shocked. King Armogard could foretell what happened earlier. Raliz thought all of it was just a coincidence but it had been that thing inside the box that caused and attracted many troubles.

That's why the Alpha's sometimes looked at some point of her. It's like they were looking for something.

King Armogard looked at Raliz's team.

His gaze fell onto Witchita. " Princess Vanessa!" He greeted.

Vanessa bowed down. " It's nice meeting you King Armogard."

King Armogard looked at each of Raliz's team members. His face looks weird.

" A Holy Knight! A Dark Knight! The Famous Wizard! The Princess of the Witch! A Prince of one of the powerful Kingdom! This team is not bad." King Armogard thought so.

" You must be the leader, I presume." King Armogard guessed and didn't looked at Raliz anymore. He focused on Aldrin

" No, Your majesty. I'm not one of the team. I'm just a guard for the princess, temporarily. The one in front of you is the leader." Aldrin corrected The King politely.

The King's expression became grave. She looked at Raliz with disdain.

" Is this a joke? Because it's funny." He said.

Raliz was a little hurt by the insult. She didn't want to make the King mad though. Raliz was about to say something when someone appeared beside the King.

" Father!" Lightning Robin greeted King Armogard.

Lightning Robin noticed the group and smiled.

" Father, I say to you this once. Don't judge the book by its cover." Then, she smiled.

Her father understood by what she meant and looked at her surprisingly.

" So you have met my daughter, Charlene. And she gave a lot of respect to you.You must be powerful. But why is... your level is still on Warrior." King Armogard interrogated Raliz. He was curious.

" It's because I was blessed by a god." That's the only answer she said.

King Armogard looked like he remembered something.

" I see. You're the one who joined the fight between with the Dark Monsters in the Dark Forest when they tried to attack the Kingdom of the Queen of Witches." He came into understanding but he wasn't satisfied. He knew that something was amiss.

He stood up and the place distorted. They arrived outside.

Raliz and her team couldn't help but gasped. Space powers!

The place was near at the castle, it must be a garden or a training ground

King Armogard punched Raliz very, very fast. Raliz jerked in surprise and jumped.

" What's wrong with this family?! Why are they so rude at me?! is this how they welcome someone?!" Raliz thought.

Dust appeared when King Armogard's fist hit the ground. Raliz couldn't see a thing. King Armogard came out and lunged an attack. He was holding a gun and he fired it at Raliz.

Raliz reacted immediately. She was in the air, so it'll be hard to dodge it. Green array appeared below on her feet and she jumped to dodge the bullet.

King Armogard's face was painted with surprise. He was familiar of the green array. And so, he whispered, " Air walker."

Raliz wouldn't stand a chance. He was a King and she was in the air. King Armogard looked efficient in using long-ranged weapons like guns. A bullet slit pass through her shoulder.

She knew that King Armogard didn't want to really hit her, he was just testing her. Raliz pulled out her gem and it turned into a Revolver. But something happened. Her revolver changed. It changed into a Rifle.

She was happy. She put her power into it and countered. Green power bullets came rushing down at King Armogard.

King Armogard's eyes opened wide. He laughed. He really underestimated this Kid.

Raliz was very efficient in holding and using guns. Plus, she has a very good accuracy. She hit King Armogard three times but unfortunately, those bullets didn't do a thing. King Armogard's armor looks hard.

After few more exchanging bullets to each other, they'd stopped.

Raliz had many wounds and abrasions on her skin. While, King Armogard, had a small scratch in the face.

Raliz was exhausted by the fight. King Armogard was powerful. He even just used small amount of power in that fight and it made Raliz exhausted. He was so scary.

" Well, well. Good job. You're powerful. You're accuracy looked good and accurate. You should join the contest here." King Armogard turned back and the place distorted once again. They're back at the castle.

Vanessa treated Raliz immediately.

" Thank you, your majesty."
