The sounds of roaring beast filled the air, the beast from different species came together as one herd which is mind-blowing because this never happened before, long time ago when the beast tide happened they are coming from the same race, the beast is not like the human that could put a side their difference and fight with foreigner to achieve one goal. A beast is an animal, they are territorial and hostile with others that are not their kin.

Lory was astonished by the scene before her, but she had no time to contemplate when dozen of wyvern flew towards her.

​​

"Incoming!" Girsha warns her.

"I know!" Lory hastens her speed as three giant wyverns blocked her way, she swings her sword in one swoop the wind blade strikes the wyvern when the beast startled she slice the wyvern neck that closer to her then leap to another wyvern beside her then thrust her sword to its head, while the other wyvern notices her as a threat they all march towards her.

Lory smirk, she moves in light speed hitting and slicing the wyvern like grass, and one by one they all falling to the ground just like flies, the soldiers below could only saw a strike like purple laser moves in high speed in the sky it actually reminds them with the laser show at the new year's end.

"Dammit, she's so strong!" one of the soldiers mutter in shocked.

"Well, that's Lucient.." the other soldier male light comment while shooting the beast in front of them.

In a meantime, Lory stops for a seconds after she clears the sky slightly from the swarming wyvern but many more still come. The wyvern shriek loudly and more is coming towards them. Lory watches it with a frown.

Like a normal animal, the beast is moved by instinct and when their instinct told them that they face a much stronger opponent they natural reaction will be run but the wyvern didn't show that normal reaction, instead they become more relentless, the falling wyvern that still holding their last breath it's still trying attack everyone near it, the soldiers have to rain the dying beast with bullets to stop the relentless angry wyvern.

"Something is wrong with them" Lory murmured.

"Everything is wrong" Girsha snorted "They are bigger, stronger, and more aggressive than normal" this is not the first time they face wyvern in fact wyvern is not that strong, they are smarter than any other beast just like a bird so their attack is slightly more coordinated than any beast but this wyvern fight like a lunatic, their behavior is so odd, Lory can't help to wonder what's going on with them.

"Is someone controlling them?"

"Or something" Girsha corrected it.

Suddenly a cold win runs behind her like a sharp blade, Lory dodged to the side when she saw a giant sharp beak almost gnaw her head, a grey gryphon shriek at her while flapping its large wings. Lory transforms her sword into a bow then used an arrow made with a wind spell, she releases three wind arrow at the same time than continuously strikes the giant gryphon with arrows, the gryphon got irritated as the beast scarred by the arrow.

The gryphon leaps towards her but once again she managed to evade the strikes, if fighting one gryphon is not enough suddenly she is surrounded by wyvern again, Lory clicks her tongue exasperatedly. She transforms her weapon again into a boomerang and throws it in the air, the boomerang moves swiftly in a circle slicing the wyvern one by one and at the same time Lory's dash flew towards the gryphon, the giant gryphon didn't stay still the beast also march towards her.

Using her water gift, she created an ice wall to block the grphon fierce attack, sadly, the sturdy beak shattered her ice wall, Lory didn't bother too much she kicks the griffin stomach although it only make the beast flinch, she managed to freeze a part of the gryphon body.

The gryphon squawk furiously. Lory hit another part of the beast's body and gradually the ice cover the gryphon's whole body leaving only its head twitching frantically.

Lory jump to the gryphon body, she raised her hand at the same time the boomerang return to her hand, she transforms the boomerang back into a sword again then swiftly thrust the beast head, the sword penetrates from the beast brain to its jaw and the beast falling to the ground with Lory ride on top of it.

'BOOOM!'

The giant Gryphon fall on the ground, the frozen carcass shattered in pieces and the impact throw the other beast near it like leaf swept by the broom, then from beneath the ground thousands thorn emerge and pierce the beasts like a lump of grilled meat. Her move is so mind blowing the soldiers subconsciously stop to look at her.

"Captain, I don't think we can't top that!"

The captain sighs helplessly "Yeah"

Even among the gifted people, Lucient is much stronger than any of them, Lucient have limitless mana and blessed with a powerful weapon like no others, they say one Lucient is stronger than a hundred gifted people combined, the soldiers think that is not far from the truth.

Lory let out a long exhale while pulling her sword from the ground then retract the wing from her back, she looks around her and notices the hordes of beast gradually got thinner but the beast didn't show sign to resign which is very odd. Later the captain approaches her with a giant gentling gun on his arms and a cigar on his mouth, his relaxed demeanor is contrasted with the havoc around them.

"Your highness" The captain nods slightly.

"Captain" Lory replies with smiles.

"Thank you for the help, but the beast seems not to give in yet" The captain show his annoyance.

All of the sudden a giant wolf jump toward them, the captain swiftly aimed his gun at the beast's head and the beast exploded into pieces "Have you seen a beast tide like this before?" he asked nonchalantly.

"No, never…" she answers calmly.

The captain's eyes filled with apprehension "What is going on here?"

"I have no idea captain, but we better leave the question later since we got a job to do" Lory raised her sword as she make a fighting stance.

Dozens of giant orc, trolls, and beast have surrounded them, their gnash their sharp teeth and howl towards them. The captain spit the cigar to the ground and sneer "What an ugly mother fuck*r"

"They sure are…" she agrees.

As like before she moves in lightning speed using strengthened body spell follows with the wind spell she moves lightly, swiftly and sharply, her sword dance in the air slicing and dicing the beast around her, for someone who has enormous mana inside her she could use multiple spells at the same time, the ice thorns emerged from the ground killing and hurting beast insight while the captain used his gentling and bomb to attack the beast.

Although the captain is not the gifted people but that didn't make him less stronger than them, in fact, there is only a small percentage of gifted people especially outside Harland kingdom, most of the military depends on 'the creator' to created weapon and defense mechanism against any threat, one of them is the Gatling gun and the mech war machine that the military used right now.

The hordes of the beast are no match for a Lucient heir and fierce captain, they fighting nonstop when the captain slowing down Lory throws him a recovery potion, in one gulped the captain back in action again. Harland's potion is known twice better than normal potion in the market so the captain accepts Lorient's kindness excitedly.

Suddenly the ear-splitting roar came from above the cloud and the sky begins to rumble, the sun loses its luster, and sudden darkness gradually covers the blue sky turn the day to black night. Everyone stares at the sky with shock, no one knows what had happened then a blaze of fire pour from the sky and burns the ground at extreme speed.

"RETREAT!" the captain shouted.

The captain holler abruptly awaked the soldiers from their shock and they run immediately, Lory remain on the ground as she looks at the pitch-black sky "Girsha, What is happening?" Lory stunned.

Girsha got out from Lory's chest, he transforms to the size of an eagle then he flew above her "This is not right, I feel darkness everywhere…"

From behind the dark red cloud a giant shadow hovers above her, the shadow gradually bigger it even bigger than Girsha in his original size.

"Lory – SHIELD!" girsha warn her in haste.

Lory subconsciously created a giant transparent shield that protects not only her but everyone around her, the soldiers are not from Harland so this is the first time they saw the Lucient shield that they used to hear about it, a transparent purple dome with a weird symbol magnificently covers above their head, they look at the shield in amazement at the same time they jealous with the Kingsmen that saw this scene all the time.

They stop admiring the shield when they saw a giant black claw slice the cloud, the size of it feet is as big as football fields, a thundering roaring sounds force them to cover their ears.

"What the name of God is that?" the captain bulged his eyes in fright.

"Dragon…" Girsha said.

Lory shakes her head "No, we fight with dragon once….it's nothing like this"

Girsha narrows his eyes "This is not just a common dragon, this the first ancient dragon, the King of all Dragon, the bearer of destruction, he is Nazareth"

"Wait Nazareth is only a myth!" the captain gasped.

Girsha suddenly remembers something "Lory, retract your shield!" he shouted.

"What – no – they would die!" Lory looks at Girsha as if he lost his mind.

"You will kill them if you not retract your shield!"

"What?"

"LISTEN TO ME!" he shouts in distress.

Stunned by Girsha coercion she retracts her shield then girsha pierce to her chest and giant white wing appear again on her back but this time the wing cross at each other and cover Lory body. In the sky, the cloud dissipated and the Giant dragon with black scales appear, the soldiers without Lory's shield is run for cover.

Nazareth sniffed the air, his red eyes swept the ground below him, he make another thunderous roar he spread his enormous wings that block the sky, the dragon threatening pose frightened everyone who saw. The dragon waves his wings then it swoops down on the ground and shatters everything on it's way later on the dragon soar to the sky and disappeared.

Knowing the Dragon has left Girsha open up his wings, a second later the wing behind Lory's back disappear and Girsha appears in front of Lory, Lory look at Girsha with a puzzled face "What's going on?" Lory feel guilty for not protecting the soldier but fortunately, no one is dead, not that she knows of anyway.

"One thing that Nazareth hate the most is Lucient descendant, if that thing knows you are here, you and everyone in this city will be burned to the ground," Girsha said.

"What, why?" Lory was dumbfounded.

"Is the old grudged because Lucient is the one who put Nazareth in caged, Nazareth had been caged for millennia just imagine how much grudged he hold?" he stared at Lory deeply.

"Oh my god, is that mean….oh no, Father, Lucas…"
