23. Sarkofagos Asterias

Time fractured has begun, and now the sky is turning red and there is no sign of life other than them(The Valkyrie and Justiciar).

This time... They are not alone in this Time Fracture, there is a mysterious monster that they have never seen walking around in the middle of the city. That monster appears not in the time where they should replace by the other monster.

Its body moved slowly, its has one big eyes, the monster was like a starfish. It moved by hanging part of his fingers to the city poles that were on the side of the road.

In the middle of the road, it continued to slither without a clear goal.

TACK, TACK, TACK!

Ira quick step heared by wearing her Valkyrie costume to find a person who just went out from her place of work and left the mess in that place.

"Where is that girl? How could she have gone so fast, is she was a ninja?" Ira grumbles as she's holding her knees.

Her breath at this moment was already on her limit, she could not run any further. She must catch her breath for a while.

Even though she was a club leader of track and field club, but she's still human. She also has her stamina limit.

"Do I have to fly?"

"But when I do... Celicia might catch me who try to meet with a justiciar."

"I'd better look for her by walking through the alleys of the city alone, but..." Although she had intentions to do it, but when she saw the deep alley, and branching passages, her intentions instantly faded away.

When her intentions had decreased, she sighed and looked at the sidewalk resignedly.

But thanks to that, she remembered something. "Oh! Why my head did not think about that earlier? The Valkyries move according to where justiciar moves..." She held her forehead as she sighs.

"What foolish of me..."

"Eye of the World!" In that instant, a map appeared and detected the presence of Justiciars in this city.

On the map, there are many dots that are in one place, it is likely that the Justiciars are already preparing to capture new monsters that will appear this night.

But Ira's eyes locked to the dot who being alone with no one accompany it. Maybe it was the person she was looking for.

"Got you, Farida." Although it is still possibility, but she can be sure if the dot is the person she is looking for.

THUD!

A girl in full armor kicked an innocent trash can in the alley of the city.

"Stupid! Stupid Ilham, I know guys must look strong in front of girls!"

"But..." Unknowingly, behind the girl's glasses, tears was coming down and soaked her cheeks. "... Not that mean, they have to desperately maintain that self-esteem..." The girl's voice become low at every word she said.

Slowly the girl knelt down like a fainted person, but when she was about to fall completely, her body held back from it.

She knees on the dirty floor of the alley and crying like a loser.

"Crying?! So this is how the leader of Justiciars is? No more than a crybaby..." Suddenly from next to her, a Valkyrie looked at her with hands in waist.

This is a natural thing, Farida is a girl who is known to be strict and merciless when she becomes Justiciar, but now Ira sees the opposite. That girl, she's so weak and crybaby. She even yelled and make Randy embarrassed in public.

That obviously could not be forgiven by Ira easily. Getting angry is the only thing she can do right now.

But as a Valkyrie and girlfriend of that justiciar's friend, she must not show her true anger.

It would only ruin her image on Randy.

"So what?" Farida dodged, and wiped away the tears behind her glasses.

Hearing that, Ira, who was holding her anger, immediately walked with a loud stomp towards the girl.

When she was near, Ira lifted Farida together with her heavy-looking steel collar. Her eyes looked so scary because of her anger.

"If there is a problem, just say it! You think public shaming is fun?!" A loud shout was thrown by Ira right in front of Farida's face.

But, instead of coming to her senses, Farida resisted Ira's pull and kicked the Valkyrie in the stomach.

THUD!

Ira's body bounced back and almost got hit by the fence in the hallway.

Upon landing, Ira's face turned like a witch and the veins on her face were clearly visible.

"So this, your answer?! So this is how you treat people who care about you?!"

"You not care to me! Your only care because this problem was connected to Randy, right?!"

Hearing that, Ira's heart was pierced and couldn't brush aside those words.

"Yes! So what? I did this for him, but at least I didn't lie about it!"

"Only a fool would say such honesty!"

"Only a fool shouts at her best friend for not being able to endure the pain of a self-locked problem!" Ira replied to Farida's sentence, and it was a checkmate.

After hearing that, Farida fell silent and raised both of her palms.

"Myriad Alysida!"

Shortly after, a myriad of chains appeared in her hand and were ready to be directed to the girl in front of her.

Seeing what Farida was doing, Ira immediately take a stance to parry her opponent attack with her elemental magic.

"So that's your answer?! What a shame, after not being able to fight back my words, you even sudden-"

SPLASH!

Just as Ira was still babbling and insulting the justiciar, a chain fired and flicked towards Ira's cheek. That chain like slap the bitch cheeks.

A red mark was imprinted on her cheek, Ira reflexively held onto the mark of the chain whip.

"It hurts you know!" Her voice is cold while glaring at her opponent.

Getting a less comfortable answer from Farida, Ira immediately fights back and now is merciless.

"Leafball!"

"Fireball!"

At the same time, Ira shoots a fireball and leaves.

This was done to make the fire she shot tangible and could hit the girl's hard armor.

But, she realizes and remembers that she fight the leader of Justiciar, Farida will not be easily defeated by a cheap trick.

She brushed off the Ira attack with just one whip of her chain.

"You attacked me with this kind of toy?! Stop playing around, you NTR girl!" Farida smiled sarcastically at her opponent.

"How dare you call me like that?! You know, fighting you was not my plan at first! But since you insist, then I can't help! So, I must fight back!"

"What a lame!"

However.... Shortly after the unstoppable quarrel.

BUMP BUMP BUMP!

The earth trembled, and the whole city was shaken by an earthquake.

Something has caused it.

"Did it come from a monster?!" Farida wondered as she looked at the sky from the narrow of the city alley.

"I don't know, but it's different from yesterday!"

"Yesterday?!"

Ira slipped.

No one knows how the Charybdis made an echo on the seabed back then the three of them.

"Just forget it, but this time it is surely different!"

As the shaking sound drew nearer, they turned to the end of the alley that was behind Ira.

As they turned their head, a tentacle-like object gripped the roadside pole and shifted the monster's main body.

"What the hell is that?!" (Farida)

"Octopus?!"(Ira)

They stared frightened at the monster.

The appearance of the monster is very painful to look by the eyes, the holes in the skin make people with trypophobia amused when they see it. And the fur that was on the bottom, added to the disgusting impression of the monster.

Once more, they had to deal with disgusting sea monsters.
