The battle between Mei and dark skin girl continues. This time, all the attacks from dark skin girl have been blocked by Mei, and sometimes, Mei lunch a counterattack towards her. The dark skin girl feels strange because her attack before was hit Mei but now every single attack had been blocked. The dark skin girl steps back to think about her next strategy.

Looking at the dark skin girl stepping back Mei ask her a question “What the matter? Where your confident before?” tried provoking her.

“Don’t get too cocky. I can move even faster” said the dark skin girl with an angry tone. “Moon Night speed”. The girl continues to attack Mei with a more faster speed. However, all the attack was repelled by Mei using her sword with just only one hand.

“it’s useless. I told you before when I active this move, there are no one can defeat me. I am ruled of this world.” Said Mei with a cynical smile.

“Then I will move even more faster than before. Moon Night Acceleration” Then, even with a faster movement, the dark skin girl tried to attack Mei again. Her movement Is so fast until making a 10 shadow appear. However, her attack still can be blocked by Mei. “Impossible, no matter fast you can be, that attack should cannot be blocked.” Said her with a shocked expression. “Shit… how can you be so fast?” Ask her to start to lose her mind.

“Fast. No… I did not move even faster. My movement doesn’t not change at all.”

“What (Nani)… what do you mean?” with a shocked face.

“I told you before… this is my world. I control everything here. Your speed, strength, even the magic.”

“So, you mean…”

“Yes, I not moving faster at all, but your movement getting slower. I had slower your speed to catch up with my movement. No matter how hard you increase your speed, in this world, I have control over everything.” Said Mei cutting the dark girl sentence. “So, it’s better for you to give up now.”

“You control everything you said. You got to be kidding me. My magic belongs to me, not yours.” Said the dark skin girl while trying to calm down. She had to calm down and think about the next move. In the fight, she had to always remain calm because every magic had its own weakness. “It looks like I don’t have any choice.”

Then she closes her eyes to increase her focus. Suddenly, her magic power becomes increases. Her magic becomes double from before or even more higher.

“I had told you, it’s useless. In this world I control everything”. While lifting her left hand to control the dark skin girl's magic. However, something is wrong. Mei cannot control all the dark skin girl magic. It looks like the dark skin girl has increased her magic power until exceeded the limit that Mei can control.

“What (Nani)… how strong your magic was?” Ask Mei to the dark skin girl.

Then the dark skin girl opens her eyes and said “It looks like you had made me use this. There is no one ever push me to this point before. This is my all-out move.” Her blue aura around her body becomes even more bigger. Then the blue aura suddenly changes into a big wing and surrounded the dark skin girl's body. “I don’t have enough energy to fight anymore. That why I have focused all my magic into a single point and lunch a single strike.”

“Amazing (Sugoii)… I don’t believe that you still have a trump card. Then, I will also focus all my attacks on a single attack.” Said Mei tried to copy her enemy action. Mei's body suddenly releases a huge amount of energy. Then all that energy was absorbed into her sword making it shine.

“Here I go,” said Mei while lifting her sword ready to attack.

“Come” Reply the dark skin girl while also lifting her dagger response to Mei's action.

Then the two of them dash forward at the same time with a faster movement. Their movement is so fast until making the ground that they use as a stepping place is destroyed. Their sword clashes and make a big explosion to the surrounding.

From the outside the Mei magic the Mei subordinate is facing the hood girl subordinate. While fighting one of Mei’s subordinate said

“Shit… What is happening in there” Ask him to his friends while struggle fighting the enemy. From the outside, the Mei magic looks like a big black sphere

“That is our captain's ultimate. Time Dimension. It’s will trap the enemy inside her world and defeated them there. In that world, she will rule everything making her enemy disadvantages fighting her in there.” Reply his friends. “So, while our captain is fighting their captain in there, it is our job to hold the enemy outside so they can disturb their fight.”

Some of Mei’s subordinate is fighting as a duo and trio. With their number is higher than the enemy making them advantages. However, even with a double or trio taking down even one enemy is hard. This is because the enemy is so strong.

Ka-boom!

Out of blue, the ground was shaking making all the fight is stopped. Then, the sphere is slowly disappearing. All of them are looking inside the sphere. From the inside, its look like the two women is standing while holding their weapon and not moving at all. The two of them are Mei and dark skin girl. It looks like the fight is over.

“Who? Who wins that fight?” Said Mei Subordinate while looking at the two of them not moving at all.

Suddenly, Mei's body slowly falls to the ground. It looks like she has passed out. She has lost the battle.

“Captain!!!” Shout all Mei subordinates while running toward her place.

“Are you alright?” Said one of them while caring Mei's body into his arms. However, there is no response from Mei. Her body is not moving at all. Its looks like Mei is completely defeated.

“Now your captain had been defeated. It your people turn next.” Said the dark skin girl with a gasping breath while lifting her weapons. She still has a little energy to fight.

“This is bad. With a captain like this, there is no one who can defeat her now. Moreover, our motivation is also reduced without the leader. We are completely lost. There nothing we can do now.” Said Mei’s subordinate.

The dark skin girl dash toward Mei's place ready to take her head. However, her movement was suddenly stopped by another one of Mei’s subordinate that caring a shield. The attack was blocked. Then another Mei subordinate that caring sword comes and attacks the dark skin girl until makes her flying away. One by one Mei’s subordinate was gathered around and form a circle around Mei's body.

“All of you… (Minna)” Said the one that caring Mei's body.

“We are not defeated yet. Until you cut down every single one of us, we will never lose.” Shout the shield guy giving motivation to his friends. The shield guy is the second command of this group. If anything, happen to Mei, he is the one that responsible to carry Mei's duty to protect his friends.

“All of you all is really annoying. Then I will cut down every single one of you.” Said the dark skin girl after getting up from her falling.

The dark skin girl lifts her weapon again ready to attack. However, before she starts her attack, one of her subordinates come from the back, touch her shoulder, and said something to her.

“Wait, captain… We need to retreat for now”

“Why… what the matter? Do you feel a pity towards this human?” With dissatisfied tone.

“No… I just got a new message from our investigation team. It looks like a group of trolls about 50 of them with their boss is coming this way. We have to retreat. With our group and your condition now, there no way we can fight anymore.” Explain him.

“Then, how about the human?”

“It looks like we don’t have any choice. We have to let the troll to finish this job. Consider, themselves as unlucky because to have another fight.”

“I got it.” Agreed with her subordinated decision. Her fight with Mei before had used much of her stamina and magic. If they stay here anymore, they only will add a lot of casualties to her group. “Let retreat.”

Then the dark skin girl and her troops suddenly vanished one by one. This is because they using teleport magic to get out from there.

“Did they run away?” Said Mei subordinate that caring Mei in his arms.

“No, they just retreat from here.” Said the shield guy. “Did you not feel it?”

The guy that carries Mei feels the surrounding atmosphere begin to change. Because of the many fights that they facing before, all of them can feel that enemy aura from far away. And from the experience, it looks like there are strong monsters is coming here.

“What we gonna do now?” Ask him. He begins to trembling. His hand was shaking and his body is shivering. This is because, without their captain, there are no one will be able to protect them from the enemy anymore.

The shield guy turned around and face the guy that carries Mei in his arms. He then touches the guy's shoulder and stares into his eyes with a serious expression. Then he said to him “Listen here, if you don’t have any courage to fight anymore then it will better for you to take Mei and run away from here. I want you to find Roy and take Mei to get out from this forest.”

“Wait… then what will happen to you all?” Not satisfied with this plan.

“I will stay here with everyone and buy time for you to run away even… it will cost of my life.” Reply the shield guy. He was very determined to stay and fight. Even it will cost of his life, he will make sure his captain is saved.

“Stop joking around.” Its looks like he has to stop trembling. After a look at the shield guy's determination, he realizes something. He slowly laying Mei's body to the ground gently. Then he stands up and said “It no point for me to run away and leave my friends behind to die. I rather fight and die as a hero than run away and live as a coward. That was what we had taught when joining Mei division.” See shield guy determination has opened his eyes that there is nothing to be afraid of as long as they stay together.

“Well said. Then let us fight together to escape and life as a hero.” Reply the shield guy with a big smile.

“That was actually happened,” said Mei after finish tells the story to Aoi. “When I wake up, I had been captured by the trolls. I tried to fight back, but I had enough strength and energy because of the fight before. I just about to give up, when the trolls want to cook me and my subordinate alive but thanks to you and your brothers coming there for saving us.” Add her more.

Then the two of them been silent for a while. They continue walking. While walking Aoi is thinking something from Mei's story.

So, that was what really happen. All the animals here are running away from here not because of the trolls, but because of the fight between Mei and Dark skin girl. Their fight is so intense making all the animals feared and leave the north forest. Aoi feels guilty because she had to blame all the problems on the trolls. The one that should be blamed now is the Dark skin girl.

The Dark skin girl. That the first thing that comes out from Aoi's head. In the Elf Forest, there only one clan that has the dark skin, and all of them come from the North Kingdom, Edhellond. Edhellond kingdom is the birthplace of the dark elf. Out of all kingdom, Edhellond kingdom is the only one that differs from the rest because all of it people has a dark skin.

And from the Mei story before, the one that attacks them is not an extraordinary dark elf. Yes, the one that attacks Mei none other than the strongest Elven in the Edhellond kingdom and one of the guardians of the Elf forest. “The Godness of speed. Calen.” Without Aoi realize, the word comes out from her mouth.

“What the matter?” Ask Mei with a smile when listening to Aoi talk to herself.

“Ahhh… nothing matters. I just thinking about something.” Reply Aoi tried to cover. Luckily, there is no one other than Mei is listens to what she was said.

“It was something important?” Ask Mei more.

“No… it’s not important at all.” Said Aoi while shaking two of her hand.

“Then it ok then.” Mei continues walking.

If really Calen had attack Mei, then this is not something smaller. There must be a reason behind Calen's attacks. As guardians as well Aoi knows that they cannot attack people without a proper reason even they are strangers. There must be some secret behind this, but the real question is why? Why did they attack Mei? Did the tragedy that happens is connected to the quest? Many questions have come to Aoi's mind.

“Aoi…” Called Mei from afar when she noticed Aoi is left far behind. It looks like Aoi is thinking about something making her walking movement slower.

“Coming” Reply Aoi with a smile while quickly run to Mei's place. Now, all of that is not important anymore. Just, let the time to answer all of that. The most important now, she had to help Mei to find her lord because she has been friends with Mei now and friends must help each other.
