All Mei subordinate has gathered. Then Mei has given the order to them.

“Listen all of you. It looks like our king has missing. We will return to the place that we came before and looking for him. I know all of you have been tired from the journey, but I hope all of you can cooperate and help me to find our king.” Order her to all her subordinates.

All of them start moving to find Roy. None of them are disobeying Mei's order. This is because they know Mei doing her best to be a captain at a young age, even though all her subordinates are oldest than her. She is a responsible person and never easily gives up on the work that she doing. That why her people always respect her.

They all move to the north where the last time they been with Roy. As a leader Mei is leading them to make sure all of them are save from a dangerous monster.

“Are you sure this is the path that we took before?” Ask Aoi to her women subordinate before. She feels strange because this path is a little different than the time they come. It too silent.

“I think this is the right path. Probably” Answer her not very confident.

“What do you mean by probably?” Mei asks her again.

Before Mei gives a chance to her subordinated to reply she realized something is wrong. It feels like they have been followed by something. She gave a hand signal to all her people to stop walking. She tried to look up at the tree surrounded.

Swoosh!

Out of blue, a group arrow is flying towards her and her subordinate.

“All of you duck” Shout Mei.

All of them quickly duck after hearing Mei's voice. However not all her people have time to evade that arrow. Some of the arrows has penetrated two of Mei subordinated head. Without wasting any time, Mei draws her sword which she slipped near her waist, holds it tightly with her right hand, and ready for the next attack.

As an aspect, another arrow attack coming out, but Mei is ready this time. She swings her sword as fast as she can and repel all the arrow attack.

“Who there.” Ask Mei louder after finished repelling all the arrows.

It looks like there is no reply. Then Mei swings her sword and lunch an energy attack towards a tree where the arrow comes from.

Boom!

Her attack hit the tree and make a group of people come out from there. There are about 10 people with a hood was come out. Some of them are caring a bow in their hand. There is no mistake, they are the ones that attack her and her people.

“Who the hell are you guys. Why you attack us.” Ask Mei with an angry tone.

They still no reply but one of the hood persons walk forward and said “Human get out from here. You don’t belong here.” With a girl's voice. Its looks like she is the leader of the group.

“Listen we don’t want any trouble. We just want to find one of our members that have lost in this forest before. So…” Without giving time for Mei to finish her sentence, the girl with the hood dash towards Mei with a double dagger that she uses as a weapon. However, Mei is more faster. That attack was successfully blocked by Mei with her sword.

Clang! The sound between their weapons clash.

“It looks like it is useless to talk to you. Fine by me, if you want our weapons to talk then bring it on.” with a serious tone.

Mei uses a little bit of force and pushes the hood girl backward. Then she launched an energy blast from her sword toward that hood girl continuously. However, all the attacks successfully evade by her. That girl has a very sharp instinct and a fast movement. All Mei attack is just hit the air and ground.

Then the hood girl jumps into the mid-air and lunch a wind magic attack. “Wind cutter.”

Bam!

That attack is blocked again by Mei using her sword. The hood girl land and attacks with wind magic again and again from a different direction.

Bam!Bam!Bam!

Because of the continuous attack from that girl from a random place, not all that attack can be block by Mei. Some of the attacks were hit Mei's body and scratch her. Mei tried to counter her magic attack with her attack but it was useless. It did not hit at all. Mei steps back.

“What an agility. All my attack was successful been evade.” Praise Mei.

“Captain, let us help you.” One of Mei's subordinates offers their help when they look at Mei being struggle to fight that hood girl.

“No, all of you get out from here. I don’t think I can protect all of you.” Mei giving orders to her subordinate. “Moreover this person is crazy strong. This is the first time a person other than Holy Knight makes me trembling.”

Swoosh!

The hood girl dashes again toward Mei and clashes her dagger with Mei's sword. Every attack from her is very strong make Mei move backward.

Mei steps back and finds a place to cover. “Its looks like I don’t have any choice.” Mei lifts her sword.

“Holy Mode activate”

***

Mei's body is covered by a white aura. “Now it’s my turn.” Talk Mei to herself. Then she dashed toward the hood girl, but her movement is even faster than before. The hood girl tried to block Mei's attack but the difference in their strength make her thrown away and falling to the ground.

Mei jumped into the air and tried to attack the hood girl's body. The hood realizes Mei is coming for her body and quickly rolling over.

Grump! The attack was missed and hit the ground. The ground is grumbled.

The hood girl stands up, chanting another magic attack, and attack Mei. “Wind blast” a continuous wind blade comes toward Mei. However, this time Mei is more faster. All the attack is successful being evaded by her.

“It’s useless. When I active this mode my speed and agility will be increase. You will never hit me again.” Said Mei to the hood girl.

Then Mei lunch another energy blast toward the hood girl but with a faster speed. Some of Mei's attacks finally land on the hood girl's body. However, it was strange because none of Mei's attacks is hurt or damage the hood girl.

“Tchhh…” muttered the hood girl. Then she lunches a continuous wind attack toward Mei to counter Mei's attack. They exchanging magic and energy attacks continuously.

“Shit… I need a more strong attack.” said Mei to herself while dogging the wind magic attack.

“Then I will use this.” While lifting her sword around her shoulder. Her sword absorbs the energy from the surroundings and begins to shine. It looks like Mei will end the fight.

“This is the end. Holy blast” shout Mei while swinging her sword.

Boom!

A big energy attack comes out from her sword and hits the hood girl's body together with the surrounding area. The Mei attack is so big until affects the surrounding area. Because of the Mei attack before the mist from the ground is up and blocked the view.

“Did she did it?” Said Mei’s subordinate who is looking at their fight. He was amazed. This is because the Mei attack has destroyed many of the trees and make them vanished.

The mist slowly disappears. Then the girl with dark skin and long ears comes out from the mist with a torn cloth. It was the hood girl before. The Mei attack before just only tears up her hood.

“It looks like I underestimate you human.” Said the dark skin girl when the mist slowly disappears.

“Impossible. No one ever survives when taking a direct hit from a Holy Blast before.” Said Mei’s subordinate with a shocked tone. “Holy Blast is one of the Mei's strongest attacks. Only the one that same level as a Holy Knight is capable to block that attack.”

“Argh…” Mei starts to kneel with one of her legs. She tried to catch her breath. It looks like she has used too many energies.

“Captain” shout Mei’s subordinate.

“I fine. It looks like I am using a lot of energy than I imagine but… it's ok. I still can fight.” Mei tried to get up and lift her sword ready to fight again.

“I praise your determination human. I never thought you can even scratch me.” Praise the dark skin girl to Mei. “But your luck ends here.” With a serious expression.

“Moon Night mode activate."

***

“Moon night mode active.” The blue aura was covered the dark skin girl body. “Moon Night speed.”

Zup!

Then the dark skin girl suddenly disappears from her place.

“Captain behind you.” Shout Mei’s subordinate giving a warning to Mei.

Mei quickly turned around and she sees the girl is ready to take her head. However, with a quick reflect she dodge that attack and lunch a counterattack, but before her sword reaches the girl body, she disappears again. This time the girl appears on Mei's left side. She attacks Mei and makes Mei thrown away.

Mei tried to get up. “So fast. I cannot follow her movement even with my Holy Mode.” Mei admits that this girl is very fast. Even with her Holy Mode and speed she still cannot catch this girl's movement.

“But I will not lose. Concentrate.” Mei closed her eyes. “Predict her movement next, her breath, her sound.” Mei tried to listen to their enemy movement and predict the place she will appear next. “There.” She turned around, open her eyes and swing her sword. As a prediction, the dark skin girl was appearing there. However, before the Mei sword touches the girl's body, she was disappearing again.

“Impossible! My timing was perfect.” Said Mei with a shocked expression.

“What the matter. Can keep up with my speed? I can go even more faster than that.” The dark skin girl tried to provoke Mei.

“Tchh… Never underestimate me, girl. If I can keep up with you then I just have to destroy the surrounding area. Take this. Holy Explosion.” Mei thrust his sword to the ground.

Boom!

Suddenly, a huge white explosion comes out from the ground and destroyed the surrounding.

“Did I did it?” Mei said to herself.

“Moon Night shadow”. A soft voice coming from Mei's back. From the back, it looks like the dark skin girl is not even harm by the Mei explosion. Then dark skin girl backs up and lunches a relentless attack from three sides. Her movement is so fast that makes the shadow left behind and makes her look like a three-person. Mei tried to block that attack but because of the enemy speed, she cannot block all of that. Some of the attacks scratch her body.

“This is bad. If continue like this my energy and stamina will drain. I have to think how to defeat her before this Holy Mode is canceled.” Mei talks to herself.

“Look like I don’t have any choice, I will use that.” Mei stepping back.

“What the matter. Give up already.” The dark skin girl stopped her attack when see Mei step back.

“No… I just realize something. I cannot catch up with your speed. There are no ways I can win this battle.”

“Then it will better if you just give up and let me take your head.” Said the dark skin girl while dash toward Mei with her dagger to cut Mei's head.

Cling!

“Maybe I can win against you in this world, but… what will happen if you be in my world?” Said Mei while blocking the dark skin girl's attack with her sword.

“What?” Said the dark skin girl with a shocked expression.

Then Mei stomping her right foot to the ground. Suddenly the big magic chant symbol appears at their feet. The dark skin girl tried to struggle but her body cannot move at all. It looks like she had caught by enemies’ magic.

Zoom!

Then the surrounding area suddenly starts to change. The surrounding area change from a light to a dark place. A sudden dark sphere begins to appear and cover the battlefield. However, only the two of them had been trapped in there. It looks like Mei wants to settle their battle in there.

“What is this? What kind of magic is this?” asked the dark skin girl with restlessness. This is because it was her first time seen such a magic like this.

“This is my ultimate move. This move is called Time Dimension. I only can maintain this world for a few minutes. After using this move, I will not be able to move for 2 hours… but when I enter this world there is no one will be able to defeat me. So, prepare yourself, girl. Let see your speed or my ultimate move. Which one is more stronger?” Mei lifted her sword and ready to attack.
