Chapter 4

"What? what happened to her highness?"

"She's dead."

Silence has engulfed the whole battlefield, nothing can be heard except for the cries of the king and his men.

"Nefarius will pay for this, especially you ophiuchus, I will destroy every last one of your kind!"

"Tauriel, inform the other zodiacs about this, I'll help the king in the meantime."

"yes."

"Gema and Iniel, go retrieve the queen's body."

"will do."

"𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘌𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦."

After a gruesome and bloody battle, the abyss war has finally come to an end. Etheria may have won, but at what cost?

The funeral was held 8 days after the war ended. The queen was buried inside the dragon's tomb. Khel and the 12 zodiacs has cast a seal in the tomb in order to protect the queen in eternal sleep.

. . . .

"De maia?"

"Yes? Ms. Liberia?"

"Inform the headmasters of the 3 universities that 3 of the 12 zodiacs will be attending the Final exams as special guests."

"W. . .Why would you do that?"

"Just to kill time, besides Scorpio and Tauriel are always noisy in this castle, the king can't properly rest with the two of them here."

"Understood, I will relay your message immediately."

After talking, De maia disappeared instantly.

"𝘕𝘰𝘸, 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 2 𝘯𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘺 𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘰𝘵𝘴."

*WHACK!*

*WHACK!*

"Ow, Liberia, what the hell was that for?"

"Yeah, that was one hell of a smack. What did you do that for?"

"Shut your mouths, the two of you! if you don't want to ride my spinning scales again!!"

*sweats*

"N. . .No thanks, we don't want to ride in that thing again."

"𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘶𝘱."

"Scorpio, tauriel, prepare yourselves we will attend the Final exams at Le kradia. We'll go after 30 minutes so prepare immediately."

"WE...DON'T...WANT...TO."

"WE...DON'T...WANT...TO."

'SPINNING SCALES!'

"NO!! we will go, so please, not the spinning scales!!"

"Yes yes, we will go with you so release us.*sob*"

"Okay then, that's the answer that I like to hear. *wink*"

"S. . .She's a demon.*sweats"

"Y. . .Yeah, a real one."

. . . .

De maia arrives at the headmaster's office and knocks on the door.

"Headmaster Alex, this is De maia of Etheria. I have come to deliver a message on behalf of the Libra."

"A. . .A message from the Libra? come in come in."

De maia opens the door.

"Have a seat. So? what is the message of the Libra?"

"Headmaster of the Le kradia university, I would like to inform you that Liberia Ashelia, Tauriel Enrai and Helias Scorpio, the three of us will be attending the final exams that will be held at the Grand Arena as special guests. That's all."

"W. . . What? 3 celestials are coming to watch the final exams? a. . .are you sure about that?"

"Yes."

"Oh, okay then, I'll inform the headmasters of the 3 school about their visits."

"There's no need for that, I already relayed the message to them."

"Is that so, then I'll get back to my work, you can go back now Ms. De maia."

"I'll be leaving then, sorry for taking your time, excuse me."

*door shuts*

Alex pulls out his phone to contact the girl.

[Hello, are you watching Caliel right now?]

[Yes headmaster, why?]

[We won't be able to do it the exams.]

[Huh? why is it?]

[3 zodiacs will be going to the final exams as special guests, and the Scorpio will also be there.]

[what!? then when will we be able to?]

[Tomorrow.]

[Heh, I like that answer headmaster.]

[Good, make sure your group will be able to do it tomorrow.]

[Of course, we will deal with it cleanly and clearly.]

[Hahaha, you really are my best student, Star ranking 4th place, Serie.]

"Hey, isn't that Caliel at the gym?"

"you're right, why is he still training his body when he already knows that he's no match for us with powers?"

"Beats me, let's just go, we might not be able to buy that limited edition bread at the canteen."

"yeah, let's hurry up! the last one to arrive will be the one to treat us to lunch! hahaha."

. . .

"Caliel!!"

"Serie, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing, I just want to tell you something."

"Hurry it up, I'm still training, what is it?"

"Tomorrow, 11am at the central park near the river. Go there in time don't be late or I'll kick your ass."

"Why?"

"Just go there, you'll know why if you go there. I'll be going on ahead, make sure you're there in time, okay?"

"I can only stay there for half an hour."

"it's okay, it doesn't matter."

"𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘺."

"𝘗𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘩𝘢"

"what's with that woman, she know's that I have to train and she's still requesting these kind of things."

Serie pulls out her phone.

*dials*

*ringing*

[Hello, serie?]

[Ren, gather your gang tomorrow, it's time to take out the trash.]

*smirks*[understood.]

"𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵! *𝘨𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘴*"

*The day before the exams*

Caliel got up from his bed and ate his breakfast, afted that he did some exercises and took off for central park.

He walked for 20 minutes and arrived there just on time but when he arrived there he wasn't able to find serie and the only one that was present there is. . .

"Ren, what in the hell are you doing here?"

"Whoa watch your mouth you cripple, can't you see? I'm waiting for you."

"Where's serie?"

"yo, hello caliel!"

"serie, why is ren and his gang here?"

"you're quite slow on the uptake huh? haven't you realized it already?"

"I see, so that's why you wanted to take me here. You traitor."

"Look at you, you're angry but you don't have the ability to show it in your face hahaha, you really are one hell of an emotionless bastard. Ren, kill that cripple."

"ok, brace yourself caliel, you're in for a ride to the afterlife hahaha."

'STAR ENHANCEMENT 5th tier, Taurus!!'

"With this enhancement, 1 hit from me will be able to crush your bones in an instant so prepare yourself."

The fight between caliel and Ren has started. Ren started to punch Caliel using his Stone gauntlets but since Caliel is fast and agile he can't hit him accurately.

'FISSURE!'

Ren smashed the ground and spikes of rock started growing out in a line in front of Ren to Caliel. He managed to dodge the attack but his left arm got hit by one of the spikes which resulted in a huge injury.

"Hahaha, how's that you cripple!?"

'EARTH BIND!'

Due to Caliel's injured arm, he wasn't able to react on time and was caught in Ren's earth bind. He can't get out from the earth bind. Ren charged his fist and punched Caliel with an extreme force that he can't survive from. But after the attack, Caliel was still breathing and asked.

"Serie, why?"

". . . . Ren, finish him."

"Understood. I'm surprised you managed to survive that last attack, most of the other student would've died already from that, but a cripple like you survived it. you have my respect hahaha."

Ren generated a stone spike in his hand and shoved it to the heart of Caliel.

After killing him, Ren threw his body to the river and left the park with serie.

"Ren, you did well."

"Of course serie, anything for you hahahah."
