Amanda & Flugel VS Heralds Part 1

If an ordinary human could come to this world, he would be in for many surprises. The wildlife, the trees and plants, the environment, and even the air of this place, would be of great surprise and shock. But something that would catch their attention, would be a heavenly sight if they looked up at that moment.

That of a colossal white serpent was flying unimpeded in the dark skies. Its scales shimmered, and it looked like a sea serpent, swimming in the skies, proclaiming its own in its own right. Amanda, the huge serpent, was returning to the battlefield, unhurried. She had just finished connecting with the several wooden Golems she had created and knew that her cub was fine. It hurt her heart to see him so wounded and tired, but she knew that if she ran to help him now, it would be very bad for him, so she held this pain in her heart, and continued on to meet the Heralds of the matriarch.

Amanda no longer needed her wings made with the Plant element. Magic beasts that have reached Rank 10, have such a great increase in the quality of their spiritual energy, that even 100 Rank 9 magic beasts could not compare to the combat power, density or amount of spiritual energy that a Rank 10 magic beast has.

Amanda knows that she only stayed alive in her fight against the Eternal because he wanted her to. If he had wanted to, he could have killed her with a move of his arm. She knew she would have died if not for Eternal's arrogance and desire for revenge. She knew that, but she couldn't accept it.

Just like San Meili, Amanda did not accept being beneath anyone. She was proud and being one of the youngest magical beasts to reach Rank 10, she had the right to be arrogant. Plant element magical beasts are usually pacifists not because they are calm and kind, but because they don't know how to use their Plant element for combat.

Amanda followed the tradition of her species and created and perfected many techniques, and today her combat power does not lose to any element of the Pillar of Destruction. This happened for a very simple reason. Amanda didn't want to be protected by anyone, to have to depend on anyone. The only time she depended on anyone, she lost her partner, and she still hasn't forgiven herself for that.

Soon, Amanda was surrounded by 5 magical beasts, all at Rank 10. They were the heralds of the matriarch. The judges, attorneys, and executors of all the magical beasts in the central region.

"That's unfortunate, Amanda. Good thing the matriarch never let her guard down. She knew from the beginning what a traitor you are. Surrender now, and we promise a painless death for you, and your cub." A 3000 foot (0.91 km) black turtle, with a black snake wrapped around his body, spoke in a deep, authoritative voice. He was the grandfather of Antara, a powerful Rank 10 magical beast with strong Water element powers, and the serpent coiled around his body, was black as night, and was also huge, over 1 mile (1.61 km) long. Unlike San Meili and Amanda, however, it did not exude majesty and arrogance with every little movement of its body.

The black snake wrapped around the black turtle had the Earth element, and both created absolute defense and offense, living an almost symbiotic relationship.

"Why, Amanda? Why betray the one who has protected us so much, for so many years, who has gone through so many hardships to keep us safe? I myself interceded for you! Everyone accused you, but I stood by you! Why betray the trust I placed in you?!" A female voice full of bitterness was heard at that moment.

A Rank 10 magical beast that looked like a deer with horsehair and a phoenix tail was the one who spoke these words. Its fur had the color of a sky-blue, like the incarnation of the sea. Compared to all the other magical beasts in this place, it was not very tall, only 20 feet (6.1 m) high.

Seeing that forced display of affection by the deer and the turtle's acidic words, all Hellen did was laugh. She laughed and then laughed. Her voice was like the most beautiful melody, echoing through the air and spreading in all directions.

"You speak to me of loyalty to the matriarch? My mother spent millennia serving the matriarch, but all she gained was years and more years fighting the Eternals, and not a single thank you was heard from the matriarch's mouth. She died on the battlefield, 1 year after becoming a mother, and yet the matriarch gave nothing to her offspring or at least tried to protect them. Almost all of my mother's cubs died because of this. Do you say you defended me? All I saw was a greedy creature, trying to win the favor of a naive magical beast. You wanted to use me, and you would have succeeded if it weren't for him. Don't talk about loyalty to me, you old blind dogs! If you have nothing else to say, come and fight me!" Amanda's voice oozed venom, anger, and hatred, which have been suppressed for too long!

"How dare you doubt my goodwill, you ridiculous serpent! A thousand years of death and torture will not be enough for you to pay for all your sins!" The turtle and the serpent wrapped around his body released their spiritual energy, and like a torrent, the surrounding air disformed, and he soon advanced toward Amanda, using his Water element power, while the serpent conjured meteors with the Earth element.

"You disappoint me, Amanda. You must have gone crazy after losing him." With those words, the deer shook its head slightly, and soon released all its spiritual energy. The surrounding air became wild, and soon she advanced toward Amanda.

As the other 3 Rank 10 magical beasts prepared to attack Amanda, an overwhelming pressure descended on them, and in the distance, they saw a gigantic bird bathed in green flames, which stared at them with murderous eyes, filled with hatred and resentment.

Flugel was furious! He personally trained the heralds, taught them everything they know, raised them as if they were his children, and today, they dare to show their claws to him? Unforgivable! Simply unforgivable!

"You traitors! I raised you as if you were my children, but you still dare to follow orders and attack your father? Today, here and now, I renege on any relationship we ever had! And any future relationship between us will be one of the enemies!" Flugel's voice sounded like thunder, echoing in all directions.

Although wounded, Flugel was still incredibly powerful. Any being who underestimated his power would die before seeing him move!

"Stop talking nonsense, Daddy. After all, we're just doing what you taught us!" One of the 3 magical beasts that did not attack Amanda spoke up.

He had the body of a goat, his hooves and horns were on fire, and his eyes seemed to be made of magma itself! At 395 feet (0.12 km) tall, The Burning Goat raised its huge horns skyward and soon advanced mercilessly toward Flugel.

"Don't you dare call yourself my father, you murderer! You killed my whole family! For 2,000 years, I have waited in silence for the chance to take revenge. And after all this waiting, the great Flugel is finally tired and wounded! I will wash the blood of my kind to your blood, Flugel!" A lion with a fox's tail and stag's antlers raised its head and roared into the sky, causing the firmament itself to tremble, and soon launched itself against Flugel.

An earth-shaking battle ensues!
