Chapter 8: Double Advancement

omnious: Hi, I forgot to mention Dio and Ley on the passed chapter. So I'll ask them about it. Here they are.

Dio: What a waste of time.

Ley: Don't say thing like that. I found him so cute.

omnious: Egrh... So... What have you done after got the letter?

Dio: Obviously, I went to Forsaken Barrow.

Ley: Oh, you're so sweet Dio. I also got there.

Dio: I was not going there to meet you anyway. I just remembered that I haven't train beside on Training Room.

omnious: Oh, well. But you still got there right?

Ley: Keep talking like that Dio, I found you looking for me there. *laughing*

Dio: Sh-Shut up! *blushed* I wasn't dating with you anyway.

Ley: Right. *singing a little* We were dating with LOTS of Skeletons and Orc Zombies.

omnious: As expected of Demon Couple. I can't imagine they have such a romantic trip.

Ley: Oh, you think about that? Shall I date with you some other time?

omnious: Well... *see at another direction*

Dio: Don't play with him. Or else, he will kill us on this story.

omnious: Hey! I'll not kill the originals. If I have to kill someone, it'll be my own OC(s).

Zeta and Selena: WHAT!

omnious: Maybe...

Zeta: If you try to kill us, I'll bring you to the hell.

omnious: Eww... Not a chance! You can't meet me in real world. HAHAHAHA, oops.

Selena: Let's just go somewhere this maniac won't find us.

Zeta: Okay, let's go.

omnious: Wait! *see them left* Oh well... Let's continue. Dio and Ley, why weren't you ganging up Selena together with the others?

Dio: For what? She has had her punishment enough.

Ley: True, We satisfied just looking at her sorry and cry expressions.

omnious: Oh, that what was happened then? Okay, thank you for coming here.

Dio: Okay, enough of wasting my time. Time to go now.

Ley: Okay, I still have something to do too.

omnious: *watching them walk away* *sweat drop* I'm alone now. *nearly cried* Okay then just let's go to the story.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own GC, I only own my OCs and this story. Any protests permitted but will not change the story.


Zeta's POV

That night, we saw Selena cried. It was so different with our image for her. She was a trouble maker so we thought she had hard head. I mean like Elesis, even she got punished, she still redo it again, so troublesome. I went to my room and sleep until the sun started to look at us from the horizon.

"What a nice morning." I said full of spirit.

'True, this is a nice day.' Razer said.

"Let's just go out from our room." I said and opened the door.

"Someone, please stop that machine!" Amy shouted.

I saw at her and saw a weird machine ran to my direction. I just kicked it so it got smashed and turned upside down. I didn't care about her. If she went mad at me, maybe it was better than got hit by that machine.

"Thank you, Zeta." she said and she brought that machine.

Maybe she brought it back at Mari. I just walked away to the garden and I met Lire, Ryan, Ronan, and Elesis that was being tied on the tree. Before I had a chance to say anything, Dio and Ley came and laugh, mocking at Elesis.

"Hohohoho, you really don't know when to stop, Red." Ley said.

"Her head is just as hard as diamond." Dio said.

"Hey, everyone. Good morning!" I greeted them.

"Oh, Zeta. Good morning." Lire said.

"Morning." Ryan said.

"Good Morning." Ronan said.

"How nice we meet on this morning and we saw this Red fruit already." Ley greeted back and mocked Elesis.

"Hey you! Demon woman! I'll mince you if I got freed." Elesis shouted.

"..." Dio was not responding to me or maybe just not interested.

Then I walked away without asking them what happened. I only got general idea that if Elesis tried to steal the fruit from that tree and she was caught by Lire and Ryan and then Ronan came by.

I could saw that lazy immortal slept at the roof. I just wonder what his reaction was when he fell from that height. Suddenly, Sieghart just slipped and fell down in front of me. I was surprised by that a little and I could saw Selena at the roof.

'She got a hard head also, heh?' I thought.

"Are you alright, Sieghart?" I asked him and helped him to stand.

"What is this? Why am I on the ground? I thought I slept on the roof." Sieghart said as he was standing and went into the mansion. Maybe he went to the roof again or slept at the crouch in the lounge.


"Breakfast ready!" Arme shouted.

"Breakfast already? Okay then. Go to Dining Room now." I said for myself.

On the way there, I bumped with Jin and I saw Mari walked towards us. I saw Jin's expression like the one being chased by a ghost.

"Don't let him go." Mari said, so I grabbed Jin's arm.

"Please Zeta, let me go. I still want to live." Jin said with sorrowful expression.

"I don't know what will she do, but also don't think she will kill you." I said, smiling.

So, Jin got pulled by Mari and they went to her lab. I could hear Jin's screams all the way until I got myself to the Dining Room. There I could see lots of meals and in front of Lass it is a cherry pie. I remembered its taste. But I'll not dare to take it. I saw Elesis hunkering down and his arm on the table targeting that pie. Lass slammed her hand and she freaked in pain. I don't know how she freed herself. But I could see Lire and Ryan who were coming in still mad at her. Ronan who was following them only got a sweat drop. Dio and Ley followed them and Amy also got inside together with Sieghart and Zero. We waited for a moment for Mari and Jin but they seemed not came to have breakfast. Selena was also nowhere to be found. I thought she had been a minced by Sieghart.

"This is strange, why aren't they coming now?" Arme asked.

"I saw Mari brought helpless Jin to her laboratory. I don't know what she wants with that red head." I said while starting my meals. "Don't worry; I'll bring their foods to her lab."

Selena came in and hugged me. I got chocked by my fried chicken. I hurried search for my glass to drink.

"Selena!" I said with a little anger added. "Just sit and eat." I said, suppressing my anger.

She just sat next to me and started to eat the meals. I also continued my meals.

After I finished, I asked Arme, "Where are their share? I'll bring it now."

Arme gave me a plate of meals. I took that plate and went into the lab. I knocked the door with my knee, my hands were full. The door opened.

"Mari, this is breakfast for you two." I said.

She only nod and took the plate from me. I could see Jin was so exhausted. His face was pale and I could see that he looks like a person who hadn't eaten for a week. I only got a sweat drop and closed the door.


I went back to Dining Room and saw a figure with red armor joined the breakfast. I saw Elesis not like her usual; she became more polite this time. I knew what caused this, because that figure was Knight Master. If she was here personally, so there was a mission to be done.

"Good morning, Knight Master." I said.

"Good Moring, Zeta." she greeted back as she paused from eating, then she continued to eat.

After she finished, she said to us, "This mission is so urgent, I rushed here until I forget to have breakfast."

We only looked at each other.

"What kind of mission is that?" Elesis asked.

"Our scouts have found out that some monsters gathered at The Temple of Fire. I want you to clear this situation." Knight Master said.

"If that is the case, we will go now." Elesis said.

"But our situation's grimmer as lots of monster ready to attack Serdin Castle. I hope most of you help us to defend the castle." she explained more.

"Maybe I could go and the rest could help here." I volunteered myself.

"Wait, I'll go too." Selena said.

"Is there no objection?" Knight Master said.

The chasers nod in unison. They seemed to ready to defend this castle with all their life. Mari and Jin came into the room afterward. They seemed to be confused. Elesis explained the situation to them.

"Arme, I want you to help Zeta and Selena. They won't be able to go out from the castle with those monsters around." Knight Master ordered Arme.

"Okay." Arme answered.


We were teleported to The Temple of Fire's entrance. When we arrived, lots of monsters readied to welcome us. We unsheathed our weapons and started to charge at them, kicking their butts.

"Their numbers have increased; there is no end if we fight them here." Arme said.

"If that's the case, let's just charge in until we meet the boss here." I said.

"I'll clear our path." Selena said; she casted Holy Spears and launch them in one direction.

"Good job Selena. Now let's hurry. I am worried about the castle." I said.

"Okay." Selena and Arme responded.

We rushed our way until we reach where the boss was. I didn't know what monster awaited us. I searched the entire places while slashing every monster in my way. I saw at Arme and Selena each time, I didn't want them to be wounded. I saw something had its attention at Arme and ready to give her a present, a fire breath. Of course I rushed my way to defend her.

"Arme!" I shouted.

"What is it, Zeta?" she answered, did not realize that she was being targeted.

I jumped and block that fire breath with my left hand. I only though of a way to supress that attack so Arme wouldn't get hit even if I sacrificed my body. But I didn't feeling hurt or even burnt. I only felt my hand was hot. I looked at my left hand and found out that some kind of elemental protecting me.

"Is that you Void?" I asked.

"Right, but also wrong. I'm a part of Void Elemental, but I'm not her. I am Ruby Elemental, fire element master." she answered.

"Thank you, Zeta." Arme said. She sat on the ground because she shocked when I defended the attack.

"Don't say any thanks. We must beat that monster." I said; I pointed at that big monster.

"That is Basilisk, the boss here. I'll cast my most powerful spell." She said.

"Okay, I'll cover you." I defended against lots of Fire Breaths from Basilisk.

"I'll take care of those small fries, so just concentrate on chanting your spell." Selena told Arme.


After a few seconds, Basilisk stopped its attacks and I quickly charged my mana and started a stance of my skill. I heard Ruby Elemental said to me.

'You must remember this, the one within you are not rage, but it's a fiery flame on your heart. You must realize now that you're not a Rage Knight. You are a Fiery Knight with Fiery spirit that never cold down.'

I though it a moment and I chose to believe her. I am a Fiery Knight and I have Ruby Elemental within me to control fire element. I ignited flame so it was covering me and I focused it at Os Gladii's tip. I pointed it at Basilisk. I knew Arme had finished her chanting and used her spell.

"Meteor!" she shouted and called some meteors to fall on Basilisk.

Basilisk's body fell into the ground. I found that this was my chance to hit it.

"Fiery Charge!" I shouted and dashed at Basilisk, thrust it, and split it with my burning sword.

I got some burns on my arm, this was because I was not the one who control that flame. I saw at Selena. She got troubled facing those Elite Anmon Scouts. I and Arme came to help her. I dashed at them and do my refined skill with Ruby Elemental's support.

"Fiery Assault!" I shouted as I created a fire wall surrounding me, converted Os Gladii into Os Hasta, and do a powerful Mega Thrust.

Lots of them were killed and more of them had became prey for Arme's magic circles and bombs also from Selena's Holy Spears. The remnants got scared of us and started to flee for their lives. We saw them go away. We though that there was no need to finish each of those monsters.

After we finished that battle, Arme saw an orb from Basilisk body.

"We could bring this orb as present to The Queen." she said cheerfully.

"Just bring it, we don't have time to waste. I have a really bad feeling for Serdin." I said.

She nod and readied to cast teleport. I remembered something and told her.

"Arme, teleport us to outside of Serdin. We can do a surprise attack at those monsters." I sugested.

"Okay." Arme said.

"Let's cheat them!" Selena added.


We teleported to outside of Serdin and we saw monsters had already done their assault.

"Selena." I called her.

"Yeah?" she responed to me.

"Can you help me to reach that Orc Lord?" I asked her.

"Of course I can. I'll bring you to the sky." she said and grabbed my hand.

We flew until we were on Orc Lord's position. She dropped me like a bomb and I faced at him.

"I was not killing you that time. I though you won't create some trouble. But now you're dead! Fiery Blast!" I said as I landed. I slashed him with Os Gladii and changed into Os Hasta, sliced him again and finished it with a fire blast.

Some of them was at chaos knowing their leader was killed. Most of them were Goblins and Orcs. their numbers only around 10% of all monsters gathered here. The rest of them were Harpies, Skeletons, Gorgons, and many more.


I, Selena, and Arme rushed into Serdin Castle. We saw Ronan fighting some monsters inside the castle.

"Ronan, what has happened?" I asked him.

"Those monsters just attacked a few moment ago, while you were gone. Sieghart and Jin guarding Queen's Throne Room and the others guarding the mansion." he explained.

"Arme, Selena, help Ronan here. I'm sure there are a lot of Serdin Knights injured. I'll help the others at the mansion." I decided.

"Just with yourself? Are you trying to commit suicide?" Arme warned me.

"I know, this is crazy, but I have some experiences with monsters assault. Judging at their numbers, there is around 5000 monsters attacking here. We are doomed." I said.

"What do you mean?" Selena asked.

Then Dio and Ley came to our location.

"It means, we will all get beaten up by those monsters." Dio said.

"I like to beat them, but their numbers too much." Ley said.

"Where are the others?" I asked.

"At the mansion." Dio answered.

"Thanks." I said and rushed there.

I ran and sliced every monster in my way and saw Elesis struggled there. She got unguarded and a monster readied to chop her head. Suddenly Zero slashed that monster and they faced back to back. I thought I saw two Elesis of two Zero with red and white hairs.

"Elesis, Zero, I've come to help you." I said.


Selena's POV

I could see Ronan exhausted. He could only defend against monsters attack with his Sword Shield. Dio started to get some wound on him. Arme got hard breath because she overused his mana to heal those Serdin Knights. And Ley...

"Ouch, that s hurt!" she screamed.

She got attacked by Harpy and that Harpy got smashed by one of her summon, Garouille, a Gargoyle.

'This situation just as Zeta has predicted. We will be beaten like this.' I thought.

I kept using my Holy Spears and Healing Circles to attack and healing. Lots of my feathers fell down and I didn't have any time to charge mana. I wondered if this is the time to do it. The time was here to break my oath. I really didn't care what would happen to me. I only didn't want to lose my friends here. The ones who were always with me. I didn't care about heaven again.

"I won't let you get the worst of us!" I shouted.

I readied a big magic circle above of Serdin. That magic circle covered all of Serdin's suroundings especially those monsters. I chanted some weird spells and at the end of my chanting, from that magic circle could be seen a silhouette of a kingdom faced down.

"This is my first and last to use this spell! Heaven Fall!" I shouted.

That silhouette became lots of ray and pierced everything above it. But the one got damaged just the monsters. The others got healed. As soon as that spell ended, I felt extreme pain on my body. It felt like my mana escaped from my body and another mana with different attribute came into me. I also felt like my body got crushed by a giant boulder. I fell down to the ground and got unconscious. The next thing I knew was I was on a room, my room, on my bed. I could see everyone faces full of worry, except Zeta and Zero. I tried to get up.

"Don't. Your body still weak." Amy said and she pushed me back so I lied on my bed again.

"I feel alright already. I am only curious about your faces." I said.

"Let her just know her condition." Zeta said.

"Do you think it is alright for her?" Lire asked with a wavy voice.

I got more curious, so I jumped off from my bed and saw a mirror. What that mirror reflected was not me, I mean, my former self. The one reflected in the mirror was a girl with black eyes, black blond hair to her waist and black wings. I got shocked when I touched, saw, and realized that my wings became black. I only knew that black wings are only belongs to Fallen Angel. Am I became the one of them?


omnious: End of the chapter. Long chapter.

No one back, so I'm alone here... Oh well... Just keep R&R, okay?

note: I shorten this one. Zeta's feeling about the assault got erased. Arme's detailed situation when got attacked also got erased. Detail about the damage of the castle and mansion got erased also. If I kept them, this one will be too long. I'll update Selena's job 2 on my profile soon.
