Invicinble Colorless Butler

Chapter 149 - 51

When hundreds of world tree roots were attacking Ziel, Kalya and Laurel suddenly felt strange. They felt their bodies tremble, more precisely from their contracted spirit. They were currently some distance away from where Ziel and Crossel were fighting.

"Silphy, what happened?" Kalya asked worriedly at Silphy inside her body.

"Undine, are you okay?" Laurel asked the same thing as Kalya. Their contracted spirits were suddenly acting very strange.

(I'm fine. It's just that I've been feeling goosebumps since a while ago. I thought something was going to happen. But I'm not sure what it is, or maybe it's just our feelings because the spirit is sensitive to the natural changes that occur around us)

Silphy answered in Kalya's mind. His voice trembled and sounded like someone was scared.

(Hmm…I feel the same way as Silphy. I hope nothing wrong happens)

Undine was a little calmer when she spoke, even though she was in almost the same state as Silphy.

Kalya and Laurel looked at each other after hearing the answers from the two spirits. They couldn't do anything if the spirits didn't even know what made them feel that way. Currently, Kalya and Laurel can only focus first on the battle in front of their eyes that will determine the fate of the Elven Kingdom.

(Please win, Ziel!)

Laurel prayed sincerely for Ziel from the bottom of her heart.

When Kalya and Laurel were watching Ziel battling, they were interrupted by the sound of footsteps from behind them. They turned and saw nothing. But not long after, three beautiful girls appeared out of thin air before their eyes. They were Lilith, Princess Freya and Princess Iris. Princess Freya and Iris used their unique camouflage ability, whereas Lilith used the mana that enveloped her body to dispel her existence. Laurel also got to know them when she joined the tea party this morning.

Kalya frowned after seeing their appearance. She thought they would stay in that building to look after the academy people, especially Lilith. If Lilith weren't there, the academy's people would be in danger.

"What are you guys doing in this place?" Kalya wants to hear the reason for them coming there.

"I want to see the fight. Ooh, if you're thinking about the safety of the academy's people, you don't have to worry. The person from the divine race had been defeated, and the elven knights had already retreated." Lilith explained the situation to Kalya.

After hearing Lilith's explanation, she could breathe a sigh of relief. He and Laurel already knew the reason why the elven knights retreated and didn't attack the people from the academy anymore.

"I understand. But why are they coming with you? Don't they know that it's perilous here?" Kalya glanced at Princess Freya and Princess Iris, standing behind Lilith. They didn't say a word since coming to that place and only looked in the direction where Ziel was fighting Crossel.

"That…" Lilith wanted to explain, but Princess Freya answered first.

"Can't I come here while you can? After all, if the place where Ziel is located isn't safe, then it won't be a safe place in this world." Princess Freya walks up to Kalya and smiles provocatively at her. But Kalya is not angry with her attitude and words. On the other hand, she strongly agrees with her opinion.

"There's no safe place if you're not with him, huh… hehe. I like your words." Kalya muttered and repeated Princess Freya's words. She had to admit that Princess Freya's words were something she had in mind as well.

Laurel felt that there was something strange about Kalya and Princess Freya's conversation. They look like friends, but on the other hand, they also look like rivals. Suddenly she thinks of something and looks at Kalya for confirmation. When Laurel saw Kalya nod, she was surprised. It's like she told Laurel before that she wouldn't be mad if another girl liked Ziel. Currently, she is friendly with a girl who also likes her man. This was not only painful for Laurel but also for Princess Iris. Somehow they feel like they were eliminated from the competition.

As the two of them were drowning in their complicated feelings, Lilith said in a high tone and brought them back to reality.

"What the hell is that!? Wouldn't it destroy this entire kingdom if it exploded?" Lilith pointed at the silver energy ball getting bigger and bigger. Lilith admitted that her strength was incomparable to the power Crossel was showing right now.

The girls trembled after feeling the horror of the power contained within the energy ball. After it became enormous, they saw the ball of energy thrown by Crossel at Ziel. Even though they believed in Ziel's power, after feeling the power of the silver energy ball, but after feeling the power of the silver energy ball, they couldn't help but worry about him. What's more, Ziel just kept quiet and didn't show any signs of dodging or parrying it.

"Ziel! Be careful!" The girls shouted in unison. Even Lilith also warned him.

They originally wanted to help Ziel, but they immediately gave up their intention. It was because Ziel swiftly slashed his sword at the energy ball. The girls watched the space around the energy ball being sliced in half for a moment, and then they saw the energy ball disappear and the dead Crossel split in half.

They widened their mouths because of the absurd attack that Ziel showed them. Lilith even trembled and was grateful that Ziel didn't use that move when fighting her back then.

Ziel left the battlefield and flew towards them after confirming that Crossel was dead.

Kalya quickly jumped into his arms after Ziel landed in front of them. This added to the surprise of the other girls for a different reason.

"It's all over, isn't it?" Kalya mumbles and cries in his arms. Before Ziel could answer, there was a roar that sent chills down their spines.

Rooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Their legs went limp and suddenly fell to their knees as if they had lost their strength to stand. Even Lilith, who possessed the strength of a true god, couldn't say a word.

(What kind of power is that!? Just a scream makes me limp in fear like this!?)

Lilith couldn't stop her body from shaking continuously. The other girls even had difficulty breathing after hearing that roar. Ziel frowned after feeling the power of the creature that suddenly appeared. He quickly shrouded them with mana and aura to suppress that negative effect.

"Ziel, what kind of creature is that?" Kalya asked in a trembling voice. Not only her but also Silphy trembled in fear and kept warning her about the creature.

Particles of green light suddenly appeared around them and merged to form the figure of a girl with wavy turquoise hair and wearing a dress made of leaves. That girl was Dryad, the girl in prison that Ziel and Lilith had met inside the world tree.

"Ken! Dangerous! The dangerous creature appears!" Dryad screamed in panic while clinging to Ziel.

A vein appeared on Kalya's forehead when she saw what the girl had done. Laurel chuckled when she saw Kalya's expression.

"Who are you?" Kalya asks Dryad. But before getting an answer from Dryad, Silphy and Undine manifest themselves first.

"Silphy from the wind spirit clan pays homage to the spirit queen, Dryad."

"Undine of the water spirit clan pays homage to the spirit queen, Dryad."

Silphy and Undine greet Dryad very politely. After hearing what the two spirits said, Kalya and Laurel were shocked and quickly knelt in front of her.

"I apologize for my rude behaviour earlier. My name is Cattleya Venetia, Princess of this kingdom. I pay my respects to the spirit queen, Dryad." Kalya lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Dryad.

"I am the knight commander of this kingdom, Laurel Candyce. I pay my respects to the Dryad queen." Laurel saluted in a stiff tone.

Princess Freya and Iris were shocked when Kalya and Laurel suddenly kneeled. They felt that the Dryads had a higher status than the current queen. They were even more amazed when they found out that the girl was the Spirit Queen.

"Forget manners like at a time like this." Dryad only glanced at them briefly and then looked back at Ziel.

"Ken! How about this!? That creature is very dangerous!" Dryad shouted at Ziel.

"I already know." Ziel answered curtly in a hoarse voice.

"Eh? Do you already know? But, how is that possible?" Dryad tilted her head cutely after hearing Ziel's answer. When Ziel and company travelled to conquer the divine race, the creature did not appear, and information about it was prohibited from circulating. Dryad was confused as to how Ziel found out about it.

"One of the 4 guardians of the continent. Nine-headed imperial dragon. I know from the book the empire has left behind." Ziel answered to clear her confusion.

Dryad and the other girls were shocked after hearing Ziel's answer, especially after mentioning the creature's name.

They looked to where the roar was coming from and saw a giant nine-headed dragon there. Each head has a different colour and shows the elements used. Each head possessed the power of a true god and mastered the pinnacle of elemental power.

Red: fire

Blue: water

Yellow: earth

Green: wind

Brown: metal

White: light

Black: darkness

Silver: space

Gold: time

"What I remember is that that creature didn't even appear when the Divine Race invaded this continent hundred of years ago. So why did that creature appear in this place now?" Dryad pondered and tried to find the answer. Suddenly her body trembled when she thought of one of the possibilities.

"Could it be…the purpose of that creature coming here is…" Dryad looked at Ziel. She hoped that Ziel would refute her suspicions. But Ziel's answer betrayed her expectations.

"You are right. The monster had indeed come for me and seemed to know of my existence because of my previous fight. To that monster, I was an abnormal existence that needed to be exterminated from this world." Ziel answered it like it was none of his business. Everyone in the place trembled after hearing what Ziel had said.

"Dryad, open this forest barrier. I have to fight it." Ziel added his words.

"Do not! You can't fight that monster!" Kalya screams in panic and holds his hand. Lilith and the other girls nodded in agreement with Kalya.

"Sorry, this is my decision. If I don't fight that monster, we won't be able to return to the human region." Ziel tried to free himself from Kalya's grip.

"I do not care! We can stay in the demi-human region forever! I beg you not to go! I know you're strong, but I feel like that monster is in a different dimension." Kalya strengthens her grip on Ziel.

"I promise to return safely." Ziel looked directly into Kalya's eyes. He stroked her hair gently. Kalya trembled slightly and loosened her grip.

" I will remember your promise to me. If you don't return safely, I promise to die with you!" Kalya threatens Ziel and removes her hand from him. Ziel nodded in response.

Another girl was in awe of Kalya, who boldly made such a promise. They feel Kalya will surely do as she has said.

"Dryad! Open the barrier now, or I will break through it." Ziel looked at the Dryads seriously.

"Okay!" Dryad clicks her tongue and reluctantly makes a hole in the barrier for Ziel to get out.

"You are hiding there. Go back and tell the academy people about this except about me." Ziel said to the empty space far behind the girls. He quickly flew past the barrier and came to the imperial dragon.

The girls who heard Ziel's words immediately looked back, but they didn't see anyone there. Only Lilith and Dryad noticed it but decided to keep quiet since Ziel didn't mind it.

When Ziel saw the imperial dragon, Ziel felt like a flea. It was even much larger than the golem Rosier. Ziel was already holding a black and white sword in both hands. He had also put on his divine dress. He released all of his mana, aura and spirit power.

Ziel didn't know how strong the king of the divine race, Azael, was before he fell to the Clorius continent and lost all his divine power. All he knew was, the being in front of him was far stronger than Azael he had fought hundreds of years ago.

"Okay. We will see who will be eliminated first from this continent.." Ziel strengthened his grip on his swords and charged towards the imperial dragon with full force.
