12. Eyeless Stare
A giant creature that looks like a worm appears in the middle of the rice field. It has a giant mouth full of sharp teeth wrapped around its mouth. It wriggled to search for water for itself to use as its habitat. Don't know what happened, or why the sea worms could be stranded in the middle of a rice field that lacked water.
The Justiciars began to arrive and circled the Charybdis. One by one, they cast magic to make a magic circle toward the monster. There is a total of 7 magic circles that takes 5 people to make the giant magic circle. The red sky is full of girls with armor right now.
Farida, the leader of Justiciar raised her right hand to give a signal. "That monster still can't do anything!" She said it will put an optimist's face.
She seemed oblivious to the horrors of Charybdis' past.
The current Charybdis was still weak because it had no water that can wet its body. When it let out its anger in the middle of the rice fields, then this place will turn into a deep and dark ocean.
Even though they have advantages to fly, still, it couldn't help much. According to Dalor's story, this monster is the most dangerous from all the monsters that will come out at the Time Fracture.
"FIRE!" Farida ordered the Justiciars to unleash their magic at the monster.
Various kinds of magic from fire, ice, electricity, darkness, wood, imaginary, to psychic were unleashed by them just to kill the monster. It's all just for the sake to keep a little key.
On the other hand, Randy was crawling among the tall rice fields. His face was smeared with mud, but he ignored it. Instead, he stared at the horror of the monster from there.
"This is the true horror..." Randy was amazed mixed with anxiety when he saw it.
"As I thought, it's a different Charybdis." Dalor stared disappointed at the monster.
"Hmm." Randy just nodded sadly when Dalor said that.
"So can we catch it?" Randy asked while scratching his hair.
"The creature was too terrifying to fight. It doesn't look dangerous right now, but when it was on a rampage. No one can see a light anymore."
"I don't have a ball to do something risky like this..." Randy wiped the sweat off from his face. "Dalor, can we win against it?" Randy was not confident enough.
Dalor just stretched out his four arms and stared weakly at him. "For now, it was not possible. Let's just skip this monster and find another monster on the next week." Dalor advised Randy.
Looking for other monsters is piece of cake, but if they leave this monster with J and V was around. Maybe bad things will happen to them.
If Dalor can't even match against it. Then how about those girls? They will surely be slaughtered by this monster.
"So, what do you planning?" Dalor asked while dejected.

Shortly after, the Valkyries arrived after the justiciars.
Celicia's surprised face couldn't hide when she see the horde of Justiciars are flying around at monster.
The war was really will be going to happen. Both sides bring many units to the same place. The clash will unavoidable here.
"So, you already see through my plan, huh?!" Celicia looked wryly at Farida.
Farida didn't understand what Celicia said, but she understood that this time she would be destroyed by them tonight.
"Never should come here!" Farida summon out her spear.
A war broke out between those two factions, and again, they forgot the monster they were supposed to be fighting.
"What makes them so foolish like that?" Randy stared up at the chaotic sky.
In the sky, it looked like there was a firework festival was taking a place.
Too bad, he is the only one who could see this.
"What do you mean by a fool?"
"If I had a brain, then I will surely see something strange! They keep fighting till forget their true goal to collect the key!"
"Hmm, after you said that. It sounds weird now..."
"By the way, how many keys have they got?"
"I think about 3 for Justiciar and 6 for Valkyrie."
"That much already?!" Randy was surprised and raised his voice.
Luckily the sky was too noisy and made Randy's voice sound so low.
"Of course, they already have that much! They've been doing this for about 2 years."
"2 years?!" Randy was surprised and then lowered his head.
"How stupid of me, for 2 years not realizing that." He felt sad because he didn't know what Farida had been all this time.
"Come on, don't be sad... Now what is our plan? That monster seems to be getting annoyed by the noise at the sky." (Dalor)
"Yes yes yes, listen carefully... Telepathy!" Randy active his magic.
"You're using that skill? What are you going to do with that?" Dalor immediately asked.
"Just watch!" He scolds that demon.
"Ira! Hannah! Can you hear me?!" Randy called both of them by using telepathy.
"Sorry, on fighting!" (Ira)
"What is it?" (Hannah) They both gave different responses, but it didn't matter to Randy.
"You two, get the hell out from the field, quickly!" Randy shouted at them.
"Why?!" (Hannah)
"I'm on fight right now! How can I leave this place?!" (Ira)
It would be difficult if Ira still continued to be in the middle of their clash. Randy looks at the sky with putting annoyed face.
"Just get out of there!" Randy uses 'Justice of Word' to make those two students obey and leave the clash by force.
"You said you didn't want to use that power to force them, right?!" Dalor scolds Randy.
"It can't be helped, they're both in danger!" Randy scold back the demon.

GWARRRR!
The ignored Charybdis suddenly groaned and made those two factions stop their fight. They were dumbfounded when watch the angered Charybdis groan.
"Shit! I'm late!" Randy stood up from his spot and looked up at the sky.
At the same time, Hannah and Ira arrived to meet Randy. This was not the plan, Randy told them to leave the area, not to meet him.
"Randy?!" Those two called him with a puzzled face.
"Wha-what happened? You didn't try to catch it?" Ira asked him worriedly.
"Is that monster too strong? But it looks like it still can't do anything for now." Hannah asked with a confused look on her face. She likes already know about this monster.
Randy could only take a deep breath and looked at both of them with a frightened expression.
"Just keep standing around me! Air Dome!" Randy kick the mud in the rice field while activating his magic.
A shield resembling a dome formed around the three of them.
"What happened?" (Hannah)
"Why are you scared of this?!" (Ira)
Randy could only catch his breath while warning them.
"Soon, this place will become the ocean! No need to worry about the others! I think they will surely be safe because we will be here as the bait." Randy explained his plan.
"Ba-bait? What do you mean?" Hannah was suddenly frightened. On reflex, Ira gently grabbed Hannah's shoulder.
"Relax... Randy, me, and you've had already enough to beat it." Ira calmed down a frightened Hannah.
"They (J and V) will not be able to dive into the sea that will soon appear. It will be very risky." Randy explained the situation.

GWARRR!
Charybdis finally spit out a lot of seawater in the rice field. Instantly, the once muddy rice fields have now become the ocean. If it is estimated, about 5 villages were flooded due to the vomit from it.
It will become their horror experience. Being at the bottom of the dark ocean during Time Fracture really made their courage shrink.
"Light of the Evil!" Randy makes light to illuminate them.
"Get ready! It will definitely be provoked by this light, right?!" Ira summons her sword and prepared to slash anyone who try to came into inside the dome.
"Heh...? Bu-but I-I-I'm still a little shivering. It's so dark in here. Not to mention, but the monsters we will fight have a horribly form." Hannah followed Ira to summon off her weapon.
Ready or not, the three of them must be prepared to fight the creature.
Dalor once said that fighting these monsters was impossible. But if they hurt it gradually then it will have a small chance that the creature can be defeated.
They don't have to win; they have to survive.
Finally, that worm shows his damn eyeless head. It's slowly coming inside to the dome.
"It's coming! Get ready!" Randy said as he summons out his axe.
