Sanya woke up and decided to go to the kitchen to drink some water. She saw the three, Ashtria, Lucas, and Drico already talking. Ashtria was holding the Luminous flower she took at the mirror lake, the one petal of a flower turns to red. And base on what Sanya have heard, they were talking about the monster in the lake that will soon wake up.

"So miss, you already went to the lake?" Sanya asks after she drinks the water in the glass and safely puts it on the table. All of their attention is drawn to her when Sanya abruptly speaks. "What is that flower?" she asks once more and slowly walks closer to them.

"This is called the Luminous, do you see the red petal? It indicates that the monster in the lake will soon awaken," Drico said, pointing to the flower on a small glass table between them. "I'm not sure if the elders and the chief are aware of the flowers turning red, because they are not permitted to enter the mirror lake when the monster rises up," he added.

    They have now decided to go back to the village and decided to talk about it later in the evening. They are walking and passing by the men who are building a house while the women are in the garden planting and harvesting fruits and vegetables. Children were all still playing with their friends with a ball when suddenly a girl accidentally threw it toward a woman carrying her baby. Her eyes widened when the ball was coming toward her so she quickly turned her back and protected her baby. Luckily, Ashtria was able to save the woman and the baby with her quick response. "Thank you," she said and bowed her head in respect. The children dash toward them, and all of them repeatedly ask for forgiveness for the woman and the baby. "N-no, it's okay. Just be careful next time, little ones, okay?" the woman spoke and smiled at them. The children nodded and took the ball from Ashtria's hand when she handed it to one of them."Thank you, miss," a girl says and smiles widely looking at her then l

    "Not my baby, please!" Shuni cried and tried to stop Ashtria from pointing her swords at her baby's neck. "We won't try to betray you, we just wanted to escape from here, please," Shuni added while crying, tears streaming down her face. Charles stood up and walked closer to Ashtria. He kneeled with his head bowed on the floor. "Please, my wife is telling the truth. We won't betray you, I will even sacrifice my life just to prove to you that we're not on the elder's nor the chief's side. We're victims, and we will never be on their side," Charles said calmly still kneeling and bowing his head on the ground.Ashtria stared at Charles for so long who was still kneeling and bowing his head. She immediately takes away her sword from the baby and speaks. "Get up, I'm just testing the both of you. No way I'm gonna kill a baby without a valid reason, however, if ever I caught you betraying us I won't hesitate to kill you including your one and only child," Ashtria said and placed her sword ba

    "Wait, what? How can you say that? There are two monsters in the lake? Do you have any proof of your statement?" Drico asks her. "I'm not sure, but after seeing the dead bodies in the Black Tower and hearing that the elders and the chief are now always bringing people to the monster every 4 months in a year, that makes even more sense. If I remember correctly, the male monster would be the one to get out of the lake to catch its prey and give it to his mate, but since the chief and the elders were already giving them food, he didn't need to get out anymore and just eat his prey and bring his prey from his mouth to deliver it to his mate," Ashtria said and stops from talking and then continues. "But since the bodies, I saw in the Black Tower, he didn't consume it completely, and just taking a bite means he was planning it for their babies and her wife when the day comes they will get out," she added."I don't think that is valid evidence Ashtria, but it may be possible.

Shuni was with them as well helping them while her husband was at work, Sanya was the one who took care of the baby, carrying it softly with her arms. The library is not that big or small but enough to hold hundreds of books. The style of the library is old and stylish and they thought this was built hundreds of years ago. Ashtria was right, some people come here first before the villagers live here.Ashtria was still wearing her mask and carrying her swords on her back. She continued to find books until one caught her attention. She quickly takes it and opens the book, but then a dead flower falls to the ground, perplexing her. Her brow furrows as she picks up the dead flower pinned to the first page of the book.She turned the first page and discovered the author of the book. She then turned to the next page and discovered something written a

    "Hey, guys! What did you find?" Drico immediately showed up and placed his hand on Lucas's shoulder. "We discovered that the monster who is called Octomorph can lay hundreds of eggs and that the monster in the lake is hundreds of years old," Ashtria said, taking off her boots without looking at him. She then raises her head and looks at Lucas before turning her gaze to Drico's shocked expression."W-what? Can it be true then that the monster in the lake gave birth–wait, does it mean the female Octomorph already lays hundreds of eggs and it will hatch as soon as they get out of the lake?" Drico asks worriedly and takes off his arm on Lucas's shoulder. "I think so, but the monster's eggs only hatch one at a time so they won't hatch at the same time. We just need to kill them and smash the eggs before they turn into monsters just like their parents," Sanya responded while closing the door. "How can we kill it? We can't beat those two monsters with just ordinary guns and swords. It won'

    The claws of the baby Octomorph and Ashtria's swords clang as they fight each other. Ashtria was having a hard time beating the monster as even though it is still a baby, its strength cannot be underestimated.She jump backward away from the baby Octomorph and saw him gritting its teeth while looking at her. She thought that she did something and that the baby Octomorph was angry at her. The baby Octomorph dashes towards her and notices that it is avoiding the Luminous flowers, it is climbing from side to side and up to avoid the ground as the location where Ashtria was standing was surrounded by the Luminous flowers.As the baby Octomorph approached her, she took one flower and scattered the petals on her two swords. When she realized it was already a few steps away, she drew her sword as its claws began to attack her. Her eyes widened as she noticed its skin was burning, causing the baby Octomorph to groan in pain and attach itself from the side."So the book was telling the truth,

    Both Ashtria and Sanya were locked up in their storage room. Ashtria is sitting on the floor thinking while Sanya was still lying on the ground, she rests her head on her lap and looks at her sleeping.She let out a heavy sigh and speaks softly. "If only I hadn't let us go with Drico this won't happen but it will be more dangerous if I let that monster live with their babies. I wish they didn't notice that the flower can be used as a weapon."Moments later, someone opened the door of the storage room and was shocked to see Shuni with her baby carrying him on her back. "Marie! Are you okay? There are no people in the village anymore as they are all busy doing the preparation and for the ritual later. Hours later, the monster will appear!" she shouted and take the knife from her bag and help Ashtria free her hands from tying up."Thank you, but, why did you come here? It will be more dangerous for you and to your baby," Ashtria asks her while Shuni was trying to cut the rope that was ty

    [Before the Betrayal Happened] Ashtria went out to go to the mirror lake after she scattered the sleeping powder to Drico while he was sleeping. However, Drico always had this medicine he always drink not to be affected by sleeping pills if ever someone will try to attack him. When he senses that Ashtria finally left, she gets up from the bed and looks at the door that's now closed. He goes to the kitchen to drink water and speaks. "I guess she'll be going to the mirror lake to pick some Luminous flowers. Is she already know about the secret passage I accidentally knew before?" After a couple of minutes, she was about to sleep again when Lucas immediately get out of the room with Valdo and quickly goes to Sanya's room where Ashtria sleeps. "Hmm?" Drico hummed as he grin looking at Lucas catching his breath while looking at Sanya's room from the door. "You cared for her, huh?" Drico asks him which made his head moves to look at him solemnly. Drico began to laugh fakely and gets clos

    The two of them were now exhausted trying to gasp some air as they were holding their swords. It seems that Ashtria can be able to catch up with him now causing Callan to grit his teeth in frustration and Ashtria to smirk. "It seems the lady did something that made her stronger or maybe because of eager to save her kidnapped friend?" Callan smirked as he stared at Ashtria. "Think what you want, Callan. This time this lady you are looking to will not run away from you anymore." Ashtria tightened her grip on her sword and started attacking Callan. The lad defended himself from her attacks and was surprised to see how fast Ashtria's movement was. The two just keep on fighting with their swords clanging and causing a spark. They push each other until two of them decide to jump backward. Ashtria began to attack again, sliding her sword to cut Callan's hands but the young lad was able to hold the tip of his sword and tried to take it from her hand but Ashtria

They locked her hands and feet causing her unable to move. One of the scientists, the team leader forcibly held Sanya's face and pinched it. "Your blood is important to us. If we can't take your blood as samples for our experimentation then it is better to make you one of them and tame you to follow our orders." Sanya spit her saliva towards his face and cursed him. "As if you could tame someone like me! I am my brother's sister, and no one would be able to tame me if it was not him! I will only follow his and Ashtria's orders!" The team leader slaps her face causing it to turn red. Sanya glared at them. "Inject it into her body." Sanya started to shout and tried to kick them but her strength alone could

He was thinking about how could Akeria was able to have something ability like an eye that could see right through the darkness. "Are the eyes that were put in her all experimented eyes? Or maybe it is from the monster's eyes?' he thought to himself. 'I needed to end this but how could I do it?' he thought to himself again.

That is why I am part of the Elite Force you, right?" she speaks as she continues to walk closer to Lucas but Lucas doesn't even bother to move and gives Akeria a stare as well. "Then let me experience a battle with an experimented woman, miss," Lucas smirks causing Akeria to get mad. She changes her sword into a tall stick with sharp metal that could cut a person's body on each end of the stick. Her strength became twice as strong before causing Hero to doubt his skill.'An experimented person? Can I beat her?' he thought to himself as he twisted his sword and prepared himself for the battle. Akeria immediately dashed towards Lucas and bent her left knee, sliding her right legs while twisting the stick tar

    They all attacked and only injured some of them; they didn't try to kill them because they needed their strength to attack the government and save Sanya.Only Ashtria was the one who focus to attack and fight the leader of the group but even though she keeps on attacking him nonstop, she still hasn’t laid an attack on him. The man didn’t even use his weapon to fight her which made her feel so inferior. It wasn’t a surprise to her as she already knows how strong the man is but even didn’t gave him a scratch, she feels so irritated and disappointed in herself about how weak she really is. Mr. Blacksmith was correct; the man is much stronger than she is, but she must control that man or it will be too late for them. If she can't beat him with strength, the only way she can win is to beat him with knowledge. But how can she beat him with that? The man is also wise than her. "That’s it?
