11 Be careful!: Explosion of light Ethon’s story

Elder Esti, after hearing the explosion, urged her pace. She knew that she wasn't the only one that noticed where the sound came from.

The forest helped her to get quickly where Salgot and Ethon were. During her way, she found two corpses laying next a tree with a black flower in their hands. They died by poisoning themselves "I must arrive before the soldiers" Elder Esti said while she burned the corpses into ashes.

Soon, a soldier found that two of his men were missing "Everyone stopped and keep silence! Someone is following us" all the soldiers got a defensive formation. The one who talked was the Colonel Jakin. Colonel Jakin was an expert in defensive formations so he knew that their formation was at level 4, enough to repel spirit beasts beneath level 5. After waiting some time in silence, a wind spirit appeared looking at them with its white eyes. "Look Colonel, it's just a spirit be..." "Soldier Dast, you should know that Elder Salgot is a spirit beast tamer. Be careful with your words" Colonel Jakin said with a grim expression while the wind spirit disappear. They continue their way.

Elder Esti heard some voices near in front of her, and she recognized that one of the voices were of the soldier who questioned her, 'They are getting closer, I need to make some time' she thought 'Oh yes! It's being long since I did that' she remembered something she did when she was at the academy.

Salgot's home.

"Ok, be careful. Breath and get calm. Then you concentrate where you are going to shoot, you have it?" "Yes" "Good, now concentrate how many force you have and how many you are going to use. Ready? Shoot!" This time the [Sharp Dark Dart] didn't make an explosion and could be seen it's form for a few seconds inserted in the tree and then disappeared "Good shot Ethon! You improve your force control in the second ti... WHO IS THERE?!" Salgot put himself in front of Ethon and shouted with a cold voice looking with a grim expression to a certain direction "I HEARD YOU! SHOW YOURSELF!" after two seconds passed a wind spirit appeared from the shadows "Sorry for making you worried master" The wind spirit bowed her head and continued "I am reporting to master that soldiers are coming to master's home" Salgot looked at her with a serious looked "Thanks for you reporting, I would depend on you to give them a hard time. Something more to report?" He knew that his tamed wind spirit was occulting some information "Two soldiers have died because of the black flower's venom and Elder Esti burned them into ashes, almost she is coming here right now" with that said, the wind spirit left with a cool breeze. Salgot knew that the time was ending and that Ethon needed more time to learn his control in his magic. The good news were that he can control his dark magic and has a new move which he can use to defense himself, but for some reason the magic of light was more unstable than the magic of darkness. "Ethon, now I am going to teach you how to control your light magic. I am not as good as Elder Esti but I remember something of that topic when I went to the academy. Listen carefully" Ethon looked at him with his bright eyes "Like you did with the magic of darkness, you must control you emotions, but instead of making a sphere you will make an arrow like your [Sharp Dark Dart], and tried to keep the form for at least one minute" Salgot to,d him with a serious face, so Ethon understood that the magic of light was more complicated than the darkness one. Ethon continued his training.

"Hehe, now is time to activate it" Elder Esti looked at her most powerful and dangerous spell she invented: Color Primary Square. The [Color Primary Square] consisted in three different elements (fire, water and lightning) that in a certain position appeared something like a square, but when the three of them found their 'balance' it occurs a big explosion which can take with it everything ten kilometers around. When Elder Esti created it, she accidentally destroyed all the third garden which was 2x2 kilometers and half of the investigation department (four kilometers). With some time, she managed to minimized the areas affected, in other words, se managed to reduce the ten kilometers to ten meters around. If someone analyzed the information from the accident, one can noticed that the academy was lucky to just be affected six kilometers around. Elder Esti adjusted the rank to twenty meters around and a wind spirit appeared "Elder Esti, I'm Elder Salgot's tamed wind spirit beast. I am here to help you to keep the soldiers in a frenzy" she smiled at the same time Elder Esti coldly smile to her "If that's the case, I need from you to approach the soldiers to the center, minimum twenty meters or below, please" the wind spirit nodded affirmatively and disappeared in a light breeze "That man and his tamed spirit beasts" Elder Esti said to herself while smiling.

Near Salgot's home.

The soldiers felt that they weren't alone in the forest. Someone was following them, but every time they turned their heads to see their backs, no one was there. "They are getting close" "We need to stop them" But how we stop them?" "Elder Esti told me that she has a plan to slow them" a group of five elemental spirit beasts were talking, and one of them was the wind spirit beast who reported the soldiers' presence and talked with Elder Esti "Listen, we need to surround them and push them near where Elder Esti is. The proximity must be minimum twenty meters, if not, Elder Esti plan might fail" everyone nodded and started to surround the soldiers. "Soldiers! Pay attention to your surroundings, someone is here with us" all of them stopped and made a circle which their backs were protect by their comrades' backs. Suddenly, a strong breeze pushed them five meters far away from their first position "Colonel Jakin! Look over there! They are five spirit beasts!" Dast cried while the soldier who was next to him got hit by a lightning and was pushed three meters away collapsing to a tree and lost conscious, with that, the battle started.

"I must finish, maybe those spirits are strong, but if that person is between the soldiers, they would be in a big problem" an old-woman was writing something in a tree, when someone fell from the sky: it was a water spirit beast. "Are you ok?" The woman asked him, the spirit looked at her with eyes full of frustration and tears "Elder Esti! He is with them! They shot a signal and Wind Spirit tried to stopped it but in the instant she was handing it, HE shot her!" Elder Esti was stunned "How far are them from here?" she asked with a serious face after she recuperated from the news. The water spirit looked at her with a serious face and with a cold smile he said "Twenty soldiers are five meters away, fifteen are ten meters away and forty soldiers are twenty meters away. Their reforcements are coming so the number is raising rapidly in the perimeter of twenty meters". Everything was ready she just needed to activate the spell "Good, can you walk?" Elder Esti asked the water spirit and he nodded affirmatively "Ok, tell your friends to go to Salgot's home and get ready for the attack. If what you say is true, HE will be fine after the explosion. Go! I'm going to activate the spell" after that said, Elder Esti looked how the water spirit's back disappeared between the trees. She turned to the tree where she was writing before and said some strange words. A light appeared for a second and before a sphere appear, Elder Esti teletransported.

The soldiers saw that a light was coming in front of them, they were confused and tired because of the battle with the fire spirit beast, but before they knew it disappeared from their sight, and the light that was getting closer appeared, "Wait a moment. That light is..." one of the soldier's face was turning pale "RUN! EVERYONE RUN!" he yelled with all his might. His companions looked at him and started to run as quickly as how their legs can after seeing his pale face, but the one who shouted wasn't like running for his life, instead he was trying to give the warning to everyone. He knew that he and the others would not survive even if they run "THE [COLOR PRIMARY SQUARE] HAS BEEN ACTI...". The light surrounded them like if that light was eating them.

"Did you hear those screams?" "Yes, but what means [Color Primary Square]? What's that?" the soldiers that were near where the ones who have been devoured by the light got confused, but there was a middle-age man's face turning pale "Start to run in the direction where we came from! FAST!" It was Colonel Jakin. He continued to yell to everyone to run as fast as their legs can. However, even for them was to late.

All the soldiers who were in the twenty meters perimeter were devoured by that light.

A man got near the light and looked at it with his cold eyes. Some soldiers were looking at him while others were looking at that strange light. One of them raised his hand to try to touch it "Don't even dare to try to touch the light" an impassive voice was heard, and everyone's gazes turned to the owner of that voice. The man frowned "This spell... just one person in this world know how to minimize the affected areas..." after some thinking he turned and walk to Salgot's home's direction "So SHE is here" the man curled up his lips withe sinister aura "Be careful and don't touch the light. This explosion of light is hers. My dear teacher". The man looked at his soldiers and then continued to walk while his eyes were flashing with a murderous aura "Elder Esti Midtown, the royal tutor".
