The attack on Hage Village
"What the heck is that village?" Liegel questioned himself as he scan the grassy field around him.
"I've been there before, so it wouldn't take me too long." Liegel thought as his eyes narrowed slightly.
After a few seconds, the Megid General spotted a familiar landmark.
"There you are..." Liegel muttered, an evil smirk appearing on his face.
"Are you prepared, Asta?" Yuri asked as he, Finsternis and the dragon-formed teen stood within a hexagon-shaped chamber.
"I hope so….." Asta responded as he glanced around the chamber.
The two of them are alone apart from statues of five eastern-styled dragons placed at each wall with the entrance to the chamber being on the sixth.
"The pyro dragon, Huoyan Long. The hydro dragon, Shuilong. The geo dragon, Dilong. The anemo dragon, Fenglong. The lighting dragon, Dian Long." Asta listened the five Primordial Dragons, feeling slightly nervous underneath the dragon-like gazes.
"Well, time to get started." Finsternis said, making Asta nod his head before drawing Rekka.
"I place Rekka on the platform, right." Asta said as he glance to look at the "wielder" of Saikou and the wielder of Kurayami.
"That's correct. we'll help to start the ritual, but the rest is up to you." Yuri explained, making Asta to nod his head.
The wielders of Saikou and Kurayami stood at two points on the outer-edge of a circle that that is surrounded by runes, where Asta is standing within the centre, before activating their Mana, letting it flow through the circle.
The room was suddenly filled with five unknown Mana.
"Gah!" Asta exclaimed as he started to feel the Mana flowing through him, the Mana going through Rekka first.
Asta let out a scream of pain before suddenly transforming into his Primitive Dragon form.
"I hope that you'll succeed, Asta." Finsternis thought, starting to become concerned.
"It feels like the ritual is starting." Utama commented as she and her sister stood outside of the doors, making sure that nothing interfere with the ritual.
"I hope that Asta is alright." Kecil said, gaining a worried expression on her face.
"Don't worry, little sis. Asta is a strong swordsman after all." Utama pointed out with a small smirk on her face.
This cause the card magic witch to nod her head slowly in agreement before gaining a slight confused expression on her face.
"Since when are you more friendly towards Asta? The first time that we met him you were a bit distance." Kecil questioned, causing a frown to appear on Utama.
"I'm…...not sure really..." Utama responded, gaining a slight confused expression on her face which started to morph into a slight excited expression?
"Sis. What are you thinking?" Kecil asked, started to become concerned.
"I'm just imaging a senario of Asta being a dragon pet with a collar around his neck." Utama responded, starting to giggle whilst blushing slightly.
"Is Sister becoming horny?" Kecil thought, sweat-dropping slightly...although the picture of Asta being turned into a dragon pet seemed enticing for some reason.
"What are they talkng about?" Ekrixi questioned whilst raising an eye-brow as he notice the behaviour of Kecil and Utama.
"Probably girl stuff." Olivia responded as she glance towards towards the two card magic witches.
"With those expressions?" Shan asked with a questioning on her face.
"Why do I feel worried for my grandson's well-being from those two?" Ekrixi thought, him having a strange feeling that the sister's behaviour is linked to Asta for some reason.
"Finally! Found it!" Liegel said as he got closer to the giant Demon Skull.
"Now then, time to go a rampage..." Liegel said as he took out the transformed Alter-Ride book and opened it.
"Wake up, Legend Megid who controls the Phantom Beasts."
The Alter-Ride book announced before Liegel closed the cover and placed the Alter-Ride book against his chest, causing it to get absorb into the Megid General's body.
Liegel then became clad a fiery aura and when the fiery aura burst outwards, the Megid General's monster form which is now possessing the colour gold instead of brown and his white scarf is now red.
"Now. let's see what's this for form is capable of. I hope you come, Saber. You don't want your home village burn down to the ground." The now known Liegel Forbidden commented, an evil grin appearing on his face.
"Do you see anything?" Bahadur asked whilst Sayo is looking through a telescope.
"Nope. nothing yet..." Sayo responded whilst a small part of her is thinking that maybe the visions that Finsternis saw won't happen.
"I wonder how Asta is doing. Do you think that the process of calming Primitive Dragon is starting?" Bahadur questioned, causing Sayo to drum her fingers against the telescope...a bit too hard in Bahadur's opinion
"Maybe. I hope that Chief Olivia is keeping a close eye on Finste-!" Sayo began to say, but was cut off when she and Bahadur suddenly felt a ominous source of Mana.
"Looks like trouble has appeared." Bahadur stated, a serious expression on his face whilst taking out Endless Dash.
"Yep. Let's see who has arrived." Sayo said, yet already have an idea on who could be attacking Asta's home village, as she took out Holy Sword Illusional Driver.
The two Holy Sword wielders began to move just as an explosion occurred.
"Come on out, Saber! Do you want your village burn down!" Liegel Forbidden shouted whilst summoning orbs of different elemental attributes before firing them towards Hage Village, causing more damage and screams can be heard.
Dangerously close by towards the approaching Megid General, Sister Lilly is hiding by a stone wall, she having been doing some shopping for the church.
"This monster wants Asta?" Sister Lilly questioned in her head as she glanced over the wall quickly to look at Liegel Forbidden before quickly ducking back down again.
"Will Magic Knights even come? I know that the Grimoire tower master will likely contact the Magic Knights, but will they even come?" Sister Lilly thought, believing that the Magic Knights will just ignore them, and even they do, they would, they will just send a Magic Knight from a different squad rather than the Sword of Logos.
Back with Liegel Forbidden, the Megid General has walked further into Hage Village and glanced around, deciding on what to attack.
"What should I/Knew it would be you, Liegel." Liegel Forbidden began to thought, but was cut off just as Sayo and Bahadur appeared.
"But what is that form? It feels powerful." The two Holy Swords thought, becoming on guard as they felt how high the ominous Mana is coming off Liegel Forbidden.
"Huh? It's just you two? Where is the swordsman of flames?" Liegel Forbidden demanded as a flame-like aura appeared around him.
"I'm sorry, but Asta is busy at the moment." Sayo responded, causing Liegel Forbidden to growl slightly.
"If the swordsman of flames doesn't want his home village destroyed, I highly suggest you call him." Liegel Forbidden commented as he prepared an attack.
"Liegel seems more transfixed on fighting Asta." Sayo thought as she place all three personal Wonder-Ride books into the Illusional Sword-Driver whilst Bahadur placed "Dusty Cat" into Endless Dash.
Unsheath the Illusions/Shift the Sands!
The two voices announced whilst Sayo and Bahadur become clad in their respective armor.
"They're the same as Asta!" Sister Lilly thought as she stared at the two transformed Kamen Riders.
"If you're so eager to die, then I'll gladly grant your wish!" Liegel Forbidden exclaimed before charging forwards.
"Sand Trap Magic: Sand Cat's Lance." Shamshir announced as he slammed a hand on the ground and when Liegel Forbidden's foot made contact with the appeared magic circle, multiple sand-made lances sprung up and pierce the Megid General.
However, the attack didn't seemed to do any form of damage to Liegel Forbidden.
"Is that all you got? How disappointing." Liegel Forbidden commented in a cruel tone of voice
"So that form grants Liegel greater defence." Shamshir thought whilst gaining a slight annoyed expression underneath his helmet just as the Megid General began to move again.
Kris moved forwards and using a combination of Shinkiro and her "Mirage Magic: Illusional Fox's Tails" spell, managed to halt Liegel Forbidden's charge.
"Tch" Liegel Forbidden said before managing to jump back and swinging his sword, releasing a slash of fire.
Kris managed to avoid getting hit the attack by doing a backward cartwheel, letting the attack hit the ground instead.
However, the swords-woman of mirages did felt the heat coming off the burnt ground.
"It would be bad news if we get touched by any of Liegel's attacks..." Kris thought, becoming concerned...just as Liegel appeared in front of the two Holy Sword wielders and began to swing his sword.
"Come on, come on! Is that all you're going to do, retreating?!" Liegel Forbidden questioned as he continued to swing his sword, releasing Mana slashes, forcing Kris and Shamshir back.
"We need to force Liegel out of Hage Village!" Kris called, causing Shamshir to nod his head just the pages of his Grimoire began to turn before stopping.
"Sand Trap Magic: Sand Cat's Storm." Shashir announced, and when Liegel Forbidden touched the magic circle, he became trapped within a sand storm.
"Really? This means nothing to me!" Liegel Forbidden shouted before swinging his sword, easily destroying the sand storm
"Mirage Magic: Illusional Fox's Heads!" Kris announced and the Megid General is immediately attacked by three fox's head, obstructing his movements.
However, this didn't last long as Liegel Forbidden easily cast the fox heads to the sides...yet was immediately assaulted by Kris and Shamshir, both swinging their Holy Swords in a quick manner and somewhat managed to push Liegel Forbidden away from Hage Village.
"Tch! You two are are annoying!" Liegel Forbidden exclaimed before summoning lighting which seemed to take on a form of a dragon.
This resulted in both Kris and Shamshir to immediately back away.
"Running away won't do any good for you!" Liegel Forbidden called just as the lighting-made dragons split into four smaller lighting-made dragons which then started to chase after the two Holy Sword wielders.
Using high concentration of Mana-Skins on their legs, the Swords-woman of mirages and the swordsman of sand barely managed to avoid getting fully struck by the lighting.
"Let's mix things up, shall we?" Liegel Forbidden questioned as he raised his sword-fee hand which began to glow, causing the lighting-made dragons to turn to ice.
"Why did he turn the lighting into ice? That just makes them easier for us to break them." Kris thought before swinging Shinkiro.
However, not only did the lighting-turned ice didn't shatter, but a large current of electricity ran though Kris's body.
"Damn! the ice still has the same quality as the lighting!" The swords-woman of mirages thought as she felt her body starting to become stiff.
Liegel Forbidden then appeared and used his scarf grabbed Kris's leg.
"That was certainly a big mistake, swords-woman of mirages." Liegel Forbidden commented in a mocking tone of voice before swinging Kris over his shoulder, effectively slamming her into the ground.
"Ghe." Kris managed to grunt despite how her body is still feeling stiff.
However, the swords-woman of mirages did managed to sense something.
"Is Liegel's Mana…..unstable? Or is it his body?" The swords-woman of mirages thought, sensing that despite the large quantity of Mana that the Megid General has obtained, something feels wrong.
With Shamshir, the swordsman of sand took out a deep blue-boarded Wonder-Ride book which has an image of a narwhal underneath the title of "Horned Whaling Thrust". The swordsman of sand opened the cover of the new Wonder-Ride book.
"The tusked whale swims through the frozen water, prepared to pierce it's enemy."
The voice announced, catching Liegel Forbidden's attention, halting his assault on Kris, as he watch as Shamshir replaced "Dusty Cat" with "Horned Whaling Thrust" on Endless Dash, making the standby sound to start playing for a few seconds until Shamshir pressed the trigger, causing the newly placed Wonder-Ride book to open.
Shift the sands!
The voice announced and the blue mechanical narwhal swim around the swordsman of sand before merging with him, cladding the middle section of his armor with a blue narwhal-themed armor with a narwhal's head placed on Shamshir's chest and his sword-horn piece has also changed.
"So what? Changing your armor won't change anything." Liegel Forbidden stated in a bored tone of voice.
"Let's see about that!" Shamshir responded before the sword-horn piece of his helmet suddenly shot forwards, surprising Liegel Forbidden has he tilted his head to the side, letting the flying horn miss him.
However, this gave Kris, using the aid of Mana-Skin, the chance to attack Liegel Forbidden's scarf by throwing Shinkiro to break free.
"Darn." Liegel Forbidden muttered in annoyance as he saw what had happened.
However, before the Megid General can do anything, Shamshir dashed forwards and started to swing Endless Dash, forcing the Megid General away from Kris.
"Go away!" Liegel Forbidden exclaimed as he summoned a dragon-shape gale of wind, damaging the swordsman of sand along with throwing him back.
Luckily, Shamshir managed to recover by stabbing Endless Dash into the ground before firing another sword-horn piece, something that Liegel Forbidden easily deflected with his sword.
"Like I said, that new feature of your armor won't change anything-!" Liegel Forbidden said before sensing a presence behind him, causing the Megid General to turn around...just in time to be assaulted by Kitsune Tales.
"Yes. Keep going!" Kris cheered as she slowly got back onto her feet.
Unfortunately, Liegel Forbidden managed to grab Kitsune Tale's face and throw the white nine-tailed mechanical fox away from him.
"Don't…..get…..too excited….." Liegel Forbidden said whilst taking deep breaths.
"He's already feeling tired?" The two Holy Sword wielders thought with the swords-woman of mirages remembering her observation from earlier.
"This is only the beginning…..I will kill you all…..as well dragging Saber into the open!" Liegel Forbidden stated as he started to gain an aura around him.
"Hmm. Back here." Asta muttered with a frown on his face.
Currently, the dragon-formed teen is the forest setting where the human form of Primitive Dragon for the first time.
However, this time, Asta can feel the chaotic Mana being more denser.
"I must have transformed into my Primitive Dragon form in the real world." Asta muttered before turning his attention towards the mass of chaotic Mana.
The dragon-formed teen made his way towards the mass of chaotic Mana and is now standing in front of the barrier-like structure.
"…...Now what? I can feel the new Mana going through me, but…." Asta thought whilst glancing down at his hands, feeling the Mana of the five dragons going through him, yet at a low tone.
"Hesitating?" A deep voice questioned, causing Asta to spin around, but saw no one.
However, he could sense who is taking due to the warmth nature that the Mana has become.
"That's you, is it, Huoyan Long." Asta spoke and he could sense Haozai nodding his head.
"That is correct. But the question still stands, why are you hesitating?" Haozai asked again.
"I'm not hesitating! I'm just…..preparing myself." Asta responded, making Haozai chuckle slightly.
"True. This an important trial you're going to face." Huoyan Long commented in a musing tone of voice.
"Well, you're not getting anywhere if you are going to stand there all day!" A new voice snapped, making Asta jump slightly.
"Be calm, Shuilong. The boy is going to calm a kin of ours that has been consumed by great grief." Huoyan Long explained to the newly "appeared" water dragon.
"So what?! It has been ages since someone have entered Dragon's Ground and tapped into our Mana, yet is just standing still." Shuilong said in response, "turning" her head to the side.
"She sounds like Noelle." Asta thought, sweat-dropping slightly.
"Don't get side tracked, move forwards, otherwise your body is going to get consumed by the chaotic Mana." A new voice said in a calm tone of voice.
"Yeah, you're right, Fenglong." Asta said to the anemo dragon, the dragon-formed teen sensing how the density of chaotic Mana is increasing.
Closing his eyes, Asta focused on the Mana of the Primordial dragons and envision himself "putting on" a Mana-Skin.
After a few minutes, the dragon-formed teen can sensed the Mana of the Primordial dragons increasing and when Asta opened his eyes, he saw that his body is glowing with five different colours.
"Well, here goes." Asta thought before taking a deep breath and taking a step forwards.
And there we go, Asta starting his task of calming Primitive Dragon whilst Liegel transformed into Liegel Forbidden and started to rampage at Hage Village before being confrnoted by Kris and Shamshir. The chapter revealed the identies of the Primordial Dragons, all of them based on eastern dragons.
Please review and until next time.
Arturwho: Thank you.
Guest:
1) I'm sorry for not being able to show Primitive Dragon/Saber using the other Wonder-Ride books.
2) Don't worry, Donna will try to fix her mistake...in a way
555: Whilst Damnatio may have been spared from a quick, yet brutal, death from Primitive Dragon/Saber's rampage, but Primitive Dragon's unknown magic attribute will surely have an effect on his already damaged body.
Imperial: I can assure you that Asta won't be stealing anything.
