78 Mighty Bahamut
The Bahamut is a mighty monster that came from the soul of a fallen dragon. A beast that, according to people, was one of the hardest monsters to kill. It roared even before all of its body left the portal. Most of the soldiers were injured and fallen. Justice looks at his brother. He doesn’t want to look desperate, although the youngest, he is the crown prince of this kingdom.
Justice grabs the arm of his brother Jason, and talks to him while calling for all the captains in the area, “Brother, we need to do something. We have time. The large size always has a delay when they tried to get out of the portal.”
“You’re right, maybe if we make a holy trap we could cage him for a while.” Said Jason.
Xavier warned Jason immediately, “No, Jason, do not do it. Bahamut may be a dark element, but going with the holy element will be easy for the Bahamut to destroy the trap.”
“That’s the only way for now. Look at the soldiers. They were exhausted, and we already lost too many.” Jason’s voice was cracking. He was tired, just like the other.
“Yes, but dark and holy elements complement each other, unlike the other elements.” Vale coming from the other side. He was in the middle of supporting Henry, who’s passed out on his shoulder.
Justice and Xavier were surprised to see Henry’s condition. They run into their friends and look at a ghastly open wound on his stomach.
“What happened?” Asked Justice.
“The bog yeti gets him good. We need to get him into the healer tent immediately.” Said, Vale.

A girl with purple color hair came towards them. She brought her leather medicine bag with her.
“Henry! Oh my God, quick, bring him to the healer’s tent!” Anne pointed at the farthest healer’s tent located inside the marketplace. They never asked her reason to put Henry in the deepest part of the tent.
They put him in the bed, and she treats his wound immediately. The wound was severed, but Anne was positive that it wasn’t a life-threatening wound. “He lost a lot of blood, but he will be fine, no organ failure. He was lucky.” Said Anne while casting the first aid spell on Henry.
Vale felt a tingle in his senses. She uses his magica from inside the elderwood bangle. It felt strange, but also fascinating for him at the same time. She stopped the bleeding using the first aid spell and afterward mixed the correct medicine to apply to the wound.
Justice saw something unusual when Anne rubs the medicine. “Wait, why don’t you bandage the wound right away?”
“We need to wait for the certified healer first. I’m not qualified to give the final assessment to a patient.” Anne gave an apologetic smile to Justice. She felt like she couldn’t give her best in front of people in Gaftan.
“How’s our patient here?” Asked the healer with a sergeant pin on his sleeve.
“I gave him first aid and also half sheperdoes and lavengar, mix with crystal water.” Anne nervously explained her method to the healer sergeant.
“Wait, we are run out of sheperdoes, where do you get it?” The healer sergeant looks at the strangest girl in a round of the important people in the kingdom with curiosity.
“I came here as the crown prince’s attending healer. I realize Gaftan is in the valley, sheperdoes grow in the forestry area. I pick up as much as I could because I thought Gaftan healers will need it.” Said Anne carefully to the healer sergeant.
The healer sergeant gave her a smile, “Thank you we really need it, please go to the herbalist section, they will help you make it into a paste, as for captain Henry, I’ll attend to his wound,” He looks at Anne and finally realized something, “You’re that silver pass girl that will be evaluated here as the substitute of the third exam, right?”
“Ye... yes, it was me.”
“Great, I can see a lot of potential in you,” said the healer sergeant to her. “Now go, we need a lot of sheperdoes now.”
Beaming with the recognition from the healer sergeant, she excused herself from the tent. They saw her running with a much bigger purpose and recognition from one of the certified healers in Gaftan. Justice asked the healer sergeant to treat Henry and all of them go back to fight the Bahamut.
“Now, tell me, does someone have some kind of a clue of how we are going to fight that b*stard?!” Justice looked around from Vale and Xavier, hoping for one of an idea to fight the beastly monster.
“I do. We need to use an elemental shield. It will tire the rest of the magi, but we can give you time to rally the troops and attack the Bahamut from all directions.” Said Vale to Justice. He wasn’t confident of this plan, but at least it will be sufficient until the other soldier gain some stamina. He took a small glass bottle from his pocket and drink all the liquid inside immediately. It was the energy potion from Anne, the potent liquid give him so much energy he yell at all the magi and instructed them to cooperate for the elemental shield, “Remember, focusing on the body of the beast, not on you and the other, we want the Bahamut to be contained, understand?!” Said, Vale.
Justice proudly smiled at his friend. He turned to Xavier, “Just look at him, being all and mighty.”
“Let him shine, for now, it must be because he was bragging about the energy potion that Anne gave him,” Said Xavier while laughing.
The Bahamut finally came out from the portal. The magi cast the elemental shield on the Bahamut. There were eleven magi left, including Brom and Martin. The size of the Bahamut was a problem for the magi. The Bahamut is huge, and they were fewer of them. Vale endured for as long as he could until he and the rest of the magi fall to the ground. They couldn’t manage the elemental shield for long.
Justice and Jason rally the knights and huntsmen as fast as they could, Jason looks at his brother and before they reach for the Bahamut, he does something unexpected to his brother. Jason knock him into the ground until he passed out. He called for one young private to take him to the farthest healer tent.
Xavier saw everything before he could ask Jason. The prince gave him the reason, “He was the crown prince, and the kingdom needs it him the most.” Jason then runs towards the Bahamut, leading the troops while Xavier looks at him in awe.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat’s when Xavier knew how Jason love his brother dearly, he smiles and promised Justice to protect Jason as best as he could. The attack was brutal. They were in the lost, the colossal monster against the tired and beat-up soldiers, not to mention they weren’t that many of them in the first place.
The Bahamut did not even use his powerful attack, his arm just swing around. Some knights made a small cut here and there, but it was not enough to even make the Bahamut stop the attack. Xavier saw the opening. He called for three huntsmen to help him. They attack the same point at the Bahamut foot; it was one of the toes, and they succeed to cut the toe of the Bahamut together.
The Bahamut went berserk and the yellow eyes glow, all of them prepared for their fate. Xavier looks into Vale on the ground. They smile at each other, waiting for their fallen to come. But then, the sound of the galloping horses comes from behind the Bahamut. They look and there are hundreds of soldiers coming to assist.
Five magic knights attack the Bahamut riding the Pegasus, twenty new magi cast full protect on all the tired soldiers, including Jason. The new arrival knight and the huntsman asked them to go back inside the town with the newly arrived healers. Vale and Xavier all helped the injured, while the reinforcement handled the Bahamut.
The fight did not last that long. The slain Bahamut head is now on display at the gate, with people cheering along. Jason gazed at the clandestine tower, the orb color now back into the green color. Gaftan will be safe for a while. He walked inside the tent and saw Justice already conscious.
His red ruby eyes glared at his brother. “What the f*ck brother?!” Berated Justice at Jason.
“I do what I need to do, which is to help our kingdom from losing their cherish crown prince.” Said Jason calmly to Justice.
Justice stand up from his bed and punched his brother. “But what about me? Do you think I will be happy if I lose you?!” He walk out of the tent, while Anne and Henry saw everything inside the tent.
Someone tucked on Anne’s shirt. It was Henry. He whispered to her suddenly, “Go... he needs you know.”
Anne nodded her head at Henry. “I’ll be back for you, okay?”
She rushed outside the tent to look for Justice; she tried to look at the other tent, the crowds that welcomed the new troops. The crown prince was nowhere to be found. When she turned to see into another area, a voice calling her from behind.
“Miss Anne, fancy meeting you here?”
She turned around to see Heirim in her armor, smiling at her.
