The World's Ego (Book 2)

A Shining Star

Third Person POV

Benimaru and Diablo glared up at the sky. Floating there was Feldway and what they seemed to be elite Angels.

"Hmph, such arrogance." Diablo scoffed mockingly, "Does he really think that he stands a chance?"

Benimaru holds an arm out in front of Diablo, "It's fine. We're not the ones to deal with him."

Diablo had a light scowl on his face before nodding, "... I am aware."

"Still, he brought quite a bit with him too." Leon noted

Elmesia hid her expression while keeping an eye on their enemy as he descended, "... I can't say that I welcome you to Sarion, Feldway."

Feldway scoffs condescendingly, "I didn't need you to, Sarion's Emperor, Elmesia."

Diablo glares at him, "Arrogant as always, Feldway."

Feldway returned the glare, "Hmph. Don't try me, Diablo. I will make sure to kill you if you interfere with me."

"I'd rather take the risk to stop your madness, Feldway." Zalario declared

"What?"

Before any spat could continue between them, a feather floated in front of them and Feiyun appeared from it.

"Alright, that's enough." Feiyun said as she turned to the others, "You can leave this area now. I'll handle this."

The five exchanged looks with each other before nodding and leaving, not before sending another glare in his direction.

"I honestly thought you would have given up by now." Feiyun said, crossing her arms, "You know, after being beaten up so badly before this."

Feldway clicks his tongue, "It will be different this time."

Feiyun rolled her eyes, "Right, that's what everyone says."

"Don't try to buy time." Feldway warned her with glaring eyes, "I came here to fulfill the promise."

"I know." Feiyun said, looking at the land in front of Sarion, "I also know about the Army of Angels. Oh well, since you don't like to delay then let's get this started."

There was a strange pulsing from the pillar as Feldway took up a defensive stance, the Angels behind him doing the same as Feiyun held up the black crystal flower gifted by Rimuru with a smirk on her face.

"Now then... Let our game of tag begin."

In a flash of light, Feldway and his elites vanished from the Cardinal World.

"A game of tag, huh?" Leon repeated after coming out of their hiding place where they were watching everything, "That infant has thought up something outrageous."

"Feldway's winning condition was to simply touch her, after all." Elmesia said, "Her words make sense."

"She is rather bold, I can tell you that much." Zalario said with a sigh, "With Feldway in such a serious form, I highly doubt anyone can get away from him unscathed."

"Well, it is Feiyun-dono." Benimaru shrugged, briefly recalling the war with the Empire, "I don't doubt her fighting ability."

"Me neither. Carrera often told me how much of a hard time she can get from fighting her." Diablo chuckled lowly, "Of course, that's only when she manages to get her to fight seriously."

"Isn't it easy though?" Benimaru wondered, "She can get riled up easily."

"Who knows."

"For that Demon to say that..." Leon trailed off as he remembered the help Feiyun had provided so far, "... Well, I can believe it to some extent."
