the Guardians

Dragons moved slowly attacking from north to south. The condition of Groilandia was the worst because of the attack of the fire dragon and ice, followed by the condition of Nereida whose coast was rocked by the tsunami and big waves rolling in. A dragon alone is enough to make restless. This sudden attack for no apparent reason made things really chaotic.

Cringg.. cringgg.. cringg… Miwamori shrine bells ringing loudly signaling danger is coming. All the Kitsunes who had uninvited guests from the north pole were relentlessly fighting back to repulse. Because they quickly realized there was a danger the opponent could immediately be made to surrender.

“FLAME-THROWER…!!!!”

“SUN-SCREAM…!!!!”

The light of the sun's fire from the magic of the Kitsunes firmly defended their kingdom. The power of the fire was even able to drag the fire dragon back and melt the ice dragon flame. The screams of the Foxes and the roars of the Dragons accompanied the battle. Ryota and the Foxes who were still asleep in the middle of the night were forced to wake up from their deep sleep to fight.

(These foxes can't be underestimated it turns out)

(the fox tails are distracting me..)

(seems to be difficult to disable them)

Cringg… the priest came to face his enemies. His calm presence actually caused an uproar in the giant reptile clan before him.

"Get out of here.. go back to the place where you belong.. don't go against me or karma will judge you immediately.." Ryota's normally brown eyeballs are now red with narrowed pupils. He who is usually shy now seems dominant and has no fear. His bare feet stepped slowly accompanied by seven smoldering tails wrapped in orange Magia. The imprint of his footprints left behind an abundant Magia luster. Even without the need to change his form into Kitsune the Dragons who were there were already frightened.

Miwamori's protective shield from magic stored in paper talismans activates and protects every corner of the kingdom so that the opponent can't invade further in the pine forest. The dragons flew away from Miwamori's borders and decided not to mess with the Fox priest anymore.

(just wait for our revenge..)

(we will come back later when the other kingdoms have fallen..)

(This forest will fall under our control and our King..)

“Good job…” Ryota stroked the head of the Three-Tailed Fox that was beside him. The foxes that had just fought there were delighted to receive the priest's praise.

"Go back to Jijitsuko Jinja your majesty.. we will stay on guard here .."

"Yeah, sure.. if something bad happens I'll know right away."

"take a rest, Your majesty.."

Some of the Kitsunes decided to keep the border guard while the priest returned to his temple. Ryota must take care of himself, no matter what.

Meanwhile.. In Mavr Lykos, the Dragons are seen in the morning local time. Their presence was already marked by the sound of thunder-like groans resounding in the sky.

"This isn't usual... Dragons flocking from the sky is definitely a bad omen..."

“Your majesty, we await your orders…”

".. I don't understand, we just became friends with Erick.."

"Master Damian..!!!"

Damian woke up from his daydream, the two guard Shapeshifters behind him faithfully awaiting his orders.

“Spread a misguided mist along the border as well as the coast.. on land and in the sky, cast spells on the clouds above.. we don't need to strike back.. I still want to trust the King of Dragons..” Damian gave the order with flat expression. He still remembered Erick's gentle smile and the way he looked at Andrew. His sane mind still thinks that something is wrong in Draecorona.

"Yes sir..!!!" The guard shapeshifter complied with his orders.

They lined up together chanting a spell. A spell to disperse the heretical fog after Damian's orders. A misguided mist that won't let anyone or anything pass through. Those with evil intentions will just bounce back into the same place, not finding their way into Mavr Lykos. Be it the dragons slithering or flying through the air, nothing could penetrate the shadow magic.

"I'm not going to doubt you.. I'll prove the truth and I'll decide for myself who I believe in.."

".. O fog that shrouds this country day and night.. misguide them.. misguide those who have evil intentions in our country .."

FWWOOOSSHHH……. Plumes of gray mist rose from the hands of the Shapeshifters and quickly filled the air. The frightened people all hid in their respective homes. Homeowners helped protect people on the way who happened to pass in front of their homes. Everyone was waiting.. waiting for the heretical fog to completely protect Mavr Lykos.

Ggrrraaaa…… fire and ice are gushing out against the innocent again. But thanks to the heretical mist the two elemental forms bounced off, turning towards the attacker.

(what's this..)

(the mist belonging to the shapeshifting clan..)

(seems to be difficult to penetrate)

(They're afraid to fight us, aren't they? Hahahaha you cowards)

(naturally our king said we deserve to be at the top)

(DRAGONS... WILL DEFINITELY CONTROL ARC CHAESTRA..)

While Vouna who at that time still didn't have a new leader, somehow none of the Dragons dared to attack. Even though the position of the Vouna kingdom, which is at the center of the Arc Chaestra and separated by the sea from Draecorona, can be considered an easy target for attacks.

A group of fire dragons flew across the sea to the south, towards the kingdom of the Demigods. From a distance the white towns can be seen. Vouna is bordered by a solid wall which is also white. On the sides of the walls were guard towers where the occupants were not ordinary guard Demigods, but high-ranking soldiers. Upon noticing a group of Dragons flying close by, one of them confronted fearlessly, standing at the top of the tower bravely. The Demigod didn't say anything, just stared at the approaching group of dragons.

Calm water, drifting away.

Sometimes we don't need to throw a tantrum and prove dominance with force. The group of fire dragons retreated, as if knowing the outcome of their battle with the Demigod just by looking at his eyes and courage.

(dare to oppose us means dare to defy Heaven.. we will not be the ones to punish you but the height of the Gods..)

Unfortunately another mess ensues in the blue, deep ocean. The Siren clan along with the sea creatures were the targets of the water dragon's attack which failed to penetrate Nereida.

“... GO HIDE.. IN THE TRENCH..!!! QUICK...!!!!!!”

Andrew the Earl of Sirens, his actions are the same as the Command of the Beast, namely protecting his people first. Water wave moves slid from his hands. Assisted by the guard Siren as well as the Priest, the battle in the water was no less fierce than those who fought desperately on land.

Chaldene, the attack came after sunset local time. The Unicorns teamed up with the Chaldene wizards to create an impenetrable magical wall.

"Mr. Peter, they are getting closer..!!!"

"Are you ready..?"

"YES..!!!"

SWOOSSHH…!!!!! A fireball shot out from the sky. The red of the smoldering fire blended with the orange of the sky that had just passed. Peter the magic knight dashed forward and plunged his sword into the ground.

“DANCING CLIFF…!!!!!” a solid stone wall created from his magic, dispelled the fireballs that were approaching.

BOMM..!!!! The sound of explosions sounded very loud when the fireball hit Peter's stone wall.

"NOW..!!!"

The knights who fought together with him in unison helped build a stone wall that was no less sturdy. The high wall.. so high that it blocked the light of the newly rising moon there. The Unicorns also played their part.

"..the protectors of this land are not only the Knights, but we are also the horses that descended with Adam and Eve.."

The horns glowed white, emitting a magical sheen lining the walls the knights had built. Not only that, the magic shield also swelled up to form a protective roof that enveloped the entire Chaldene. The white horses also looked tired after using all their Magia to build the kingdom protective shield.

"Thank you, Cyari.. this will dispel them for a while until we find a bright spot of attack .." A Froura's tinkling sound when it was put into its sheath sounded loud. Peter stood tall staring at the dragons flying above, still trying to break through the magic shield with the fireball and ice coldness.

(I have never liked the horses from the first..)

(yes.. they are arrogant just because they teach magic to humans..)

After recovering a bit of strength, Cyari stood up and replied to Peter's words.

"Silverstream seems like a good kid even though his appearance says otherwise.. whatever steps you and the other 6 Kings take I will support."

"That's right.. my other friends, what will happen to them huh.."

"Let's go back to Gi Ankalia, we'll call your friends there .."

"yes..!!" Cyari's footsteps as he ran could be heard breaking the silence of the night. Many of the population consisting of adults preferred to stay awake because slowly the Dragons that were spreading not only tried to break into the Chaldene border section but also from the sky high. Parents hugged their children, dimmed the house lights to avoid attracting attention, and locked the cattle pens. The Dragons' flaming eyes and their breaths were terrifying. As if those who were there could be pounced on at any moment.

“.. Adryan, Cyrus, Damian, Ryota, Andrew, Nathanael.. Erick.. I hope you are doing well..”
