Gate Guardian - Song of the Frozen Soul

PHASE 14 - HE IS A LEWD GODDESS!

PHASE 14 - HE IS A LEWD GODDESS!

Rikkun said that all he saw in his <Presage> was a funeral with Kristoff’s name and picture on the coffin. There are no other details about his incoming death. I guess Rikkun’s Guardian Ability is just good in giving hints on some future events.

But still, we have to ready ourselves in the tournament. We have to train hard in order to win the God Core and also prevent Kristoff’s death (provided that he will not die due to uncool ways such as road accidents and diseases.)

The Aether Crusade is divided into two teams: The Tournament Team, which is led by Kristoff, and the Investigation Team which is led by Rikkun.

It is only logical for us to pick Mister Kristoff as a leader because he has more experience in battling than any of us. I may have been a Gate Guardian longer than he is, but I’ve been shut from the outside world until I turned sixteen. Kristoff already fought Eidolons when he was at his early teens, and he’s really strong and smart!

That is why he is taking up the role of our Field Commander in the upcoming Gate Guardians Tournament.

Right now, we are showcasing our skills in this vast red desert of the parallel dimension Yami. Hunting a Level 3 Eidolon would be the best way to demonstrate our battle prowess.

GROOOOOOHHHH!!!

That is the growl of the seven-meter tall griffon we are facing. Its feathers are gold that gives bizarre reflections of the blood moon. It has wide yellow wings like those of an eagle. Its talons are scimitars capable of slicing bones like butter. Its vicious eyes glared at us as if it is a falcon ready to swipe away its prey.

The griffon flew above our heads and circled. It’s waiting for us to make the first move.

“Heushac, Benedict, Drex, frontline!” Kristoff shouted. At his command, the three made a centered stance with their swords and maces respectively.

Kristoff arced his body and raised his bow, making a disciplined aiming stance. As soon as he exhaled, he muttered these words: “<Homing Missile>”

When he released the arrow, it was suddenly flamed and turned into a glowing green rocket! It chased the Eidolon in the vast skies and hit its left wing!

The griffon cried as it slowly lost its altitude and landed in front of us. Angered, the monster opened its beaks and charged a crimson ball of flames!

“Tiara!” Kristoff turned to me.

“Right! All of you, get behind me!” I tapped the tip of my staff to the floor as I shouted: “<Tarrasque Guard>!!!”

A gigantic turtle shell made up of pure prana materialized in front of us that shielded everyone from the incoming sphere of fire! Smoke filled the area, and it made hard for everyone to see.

“Emily, clear it up! Frontlines, attack!” Kristoff commanded.

“<Aero Twirl>!!!” Emily used her drill-tail to cast a tornado drill above us which cleared the dust and smoke in the air.

GROOOOOOH!!! The griffon revealed itself!

“Haaaaaaaah!!!” Heushac, Benedict, and Drex immediately took their opportunity to attack! Heushac and Benedict stabbed their swords to the paws of the Eidolon so that it will stay pinned to the ground, and Drex made a gigantic leap and mauled the chicken head with his large mace!

Pang!

Now that the enemy is utterly stunned, it’s time for the finishing attack of Kristoff! He charged another set of prana on his bow and released the energy all in one go!
