14 Fire of passion.

"Elder?" Called Ken loudly as the white-bearded elder sped up quickly, but of course, the white-bearded elder just smiled faintly without turning his head, he seemed to ignore it and only focused on his speed.

Seeing the white-bearded elder who had always cared for him was gone, now Ken looked down helplessly, he truly felt lost, as if the white-bearded elder would never return.

A few minutes later the atmosphere in the place was very quiet and there was almost no sound except the sound of monsters rampaging outside the light shield.

"Ken?".

Asuka, who couldn't stand it anymore, approached Ken and stood in front of him and smiled faintly holding back her sadness as she gently touched Ken's cheek, Ken just glared with a slightly trembling body when he felt a soft touch from Asuka's hand.

"Ken, you must be strong, now you are the only leader we have, if you continue like this, everyone will lose their fighting spirit.

I'm sure everyone feels the same way as you do, Elder is the teacher of all of us, he has devoted his whole life to taking care of us and making us stronger, so I'm sure he will be very disappointed to see you like this.

You just made a fire but now you have invited water to put it out so I beg you to make a bigger fire and cheer us all up, don't we have a task to complete?". Asuka explained in a soft and sorrowful manner.

Hearing that Ken started to wake up a little, he looked closely at Asuka's face, then turned to everyone who seemed to have lost their enthusiasm,

"Huu, Asuka, thank you. I'm sure the elder will be fine". Said Ken who looked very calm as he got up slowly.

After regaining his composure and throwing away all his sadness, his eyes immediately stared intently at everyone.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't be like this, elders are teachers and I have considered them as my own parents, even though I feel very lost, I'm sure you guys must feel the same way too". Ken looked down sadly as he apologized sincerely, then lifted his head again with sharp eyes.

"One thing we must remember. He has put his hope in all of us, for the sake of saving the village, the elder had to face off against that bastard monster alone just to buy some time for us to escape, so I want all of us to inherit his determination and courage your heads and save all those tears, there is something we have to protect, family, friends and all residents, they are all precious people to all of us, we have a task to complete". Ken shouted loudly and excitedly.

The magicians were slightly stunned at the same time stunned and slowly raised their heads to face Ken who was staring at them all, they finally caught fire with enthusiasm and began to raise their hands while shouting loudly.

"That's right, we have to protect everyone, only we can do it now".

"Yeah...".

Everyone started cheering excitedly, Ken's words and attitude had brought their spirits back, of course, it was because they knew Ken was the closest person to the elder.

Ken looks so strong despite the loss of the most precious person, so there is no reason for them to grieve any longer.

Asuka and Jero who saw this situation could smile in relief, "You bastard, you should have done it sooner". Inner Jero was very impressed with Ken.

Suddenly a signal began to appear in Ken's head.

"This?". He was very familiar with the signal.

"Ken, I'm out of the purple wall, you can start moving now, we don't have much time". The sound signal that echoed inside Ken's head came from the white-bearded elder.

"Okay, I understand". Ken answered curtly.

"Thank you, I entrust the rest to you". The elder replied casually with a faint smile as he continued to move quickly through the trees on the beach.

Then the white-bearded elder's signal was immediately cut off.

"Alright everyone, the elders have come out of the purple wall and are now moving through the coast to the west, our job is to distract the beasts, we don't need to defeat them just defend and conserve your energy as much as possible.

I'll divide you into two groups, it is meant to minimize the attacks of beasts that have many types of attack elements.

A melee attack type mage can only give a few attacks and immediately retreat not too far from the group.

For long-range attackers you just need to stay behind and make the best of opportunities to attack the vital points of the beasts, I and the two defensive-type mages will be at the front to withstand the attacks of the beasts". Ken immediately announced his plan to all the wizards.

"Okay, we understand".

Everyone agreed with Ken's plan, after all, they were used to fighting in groups, so it should help a lot.

A moment later everyone had prepared, about 14 people were standing in front of the door of the purple wall, with full confidence they were looking at the beasts that were still rampaging outside the purple wall.

"Start".

Ken shouted while lifting the big hammer in his right hand, the purple wall door began to open slowly.

"Now".

The magicians immediately shot out, leaving only a cloud of dust and a faint shadow.
