ARGONAUT

The Clown Returns

Bell  sensed immense power flowing through him. Bell can talk to Jupiter, even if she is inside him. She told him how she missed him while she was in prison. Bell assured her that they are going to be together from now on. 

They then talked about Aleera. Her feelings as a doted mother. Bell decided to apologise  to her when they meet again, for not caring her enough. Bell laid down on a bench and slept until next day. 

The next day he wake up with a loud Warning sound. The kingdom is under attack. The  scorpion monsters sourrounded the kingdom. The boss was not there for the fight. They attacked from all the sides.

 Hedin took control of the army. He aligned them to fight  those monsters. Hedin take the North side. Ryu was assigned in the South. Aisha and Welf took the West and Lefiya took the East. Most of these monsters were in the North western side. The archers were firing arrows from the top of the gates.

Bell  analyzed the situation. He wondered which side he should take. The Gods were standing in front of the castle. They were monitoring the situation. Asfi  and her Familia members were guarding them. Artemis looked anxious, while Hestia and Hermes were providing confidence and support to her.

The  citizens were moved to a safer place near the castle. The town  looked pretty empty. Hedin and Ryu were able to completely  control their side. Aisha and  Welf had some tough time dealing with them. Welf uses his magic swords to create more impact. Lefiya's magic destroyed most of the monsters. She was being protected by the knights of  Artemis.

...........................................

The monsters decided to go under the ground  and  get inside the gates.  Hedin used his lighting magic to  stop them. Ryu used Luminous wind to  destroy those monsters  moving under  the  ground. Welf used his lighting magic sword to kill them. But the situation is different for Lefiya. The monsters moved inside the gate through her side.

Now that the monsters got a gap, all of those monsters  moved to the  East. Hedin expected this earlier. So he already placed  soldiers in the East side to encounter them. Asfi  already prepared Grenades for those soldiers. Welf gave them 5 magic swords so that they can defend.

Bell is impressed by Hedin's formation. Bell put up his Jocker mask. He decided to protect Lefiya . Monsters get inside by coming from below the gate. The displacement  of soil under the  gate caused it to tilt to the  side. And finally the gate collapsed  in the east side. 

Lefiya was surrounded by a huge wave of monsters. The soldiers who tried to protect her were outnumbered . Her casting was interrupted. She  kill some of them using her short sword  while doing concurrent chanting. But she was overwhelmed. She saw her life flash away. 

Bell was floating in the air. He pulled her away from the monsters. While floating in the air, Lefiya was been princess carried. 

Lefiya asked politely " W-Who are you?"

Bell changed his voice type. "You can  me Argonaut."

Lefiya with wide eyes and red cheeks" A-Argonaut."

Bell " Miss Lefiya,  now is your chance to cast your magic. "

Lefiya waking up to reality. " Yeah, that's right." She casted Fusillade Fallarica on those monsters who tried to enter through the gate. Her wide area magic attack destroyed many monsters.
