24 - Chapter XIV

"Y-You have two guardians?!?" The dragon asked Luke. He immediately flew in the sky as Sakura was able to cut his tail next. "Damn it! You are not even one of us! Are you from another group?!?"

"Group? Yes. I need the Holy Book for my boss." Luke answered as if he was also a virtual terrorist. "From what group are you?" He asked the dragon just taking a chance of knowing something from him but the dragon just breath fire and fired a huge fire ball towards Sakura.

"Enough talking! Let's end this! Aura, by my command spell, use your final skill!" He ordered his guardian to use her final skill once again.

Aura jumped in the sky riding the dragon. She raised her sword as Aurora Borealis appeared forming a cylinder. "*Finale Skill: Light Came from the Heav—" She stopped casting her skill as she noticed that both Luke and Crysta multiplied.

"Wh-What are you waiting for?!?" The master shouted at Aura. "Do it!!!"

"I-I don't know where's the exact target!" Aura is confused as copies of Luke and Crysta was all over the place.

"Tsk! Hold your final skill! I'll find the original! By my command spell, I will use my final skill, *Melting Fire Blast!" The dragon fired its final skill, trying to hit all of the copies below them. Smoke came out as a result of the fire blast. The sand was melted as if a volcano erupted and its lava flowed all around. As the smoke vanished, so as no copies of Luke and Crysta was left. "G-Gone? Did it get them?!?" Aura and the dragon are still searching below to see if Luke and Crysta was still there.

"Hey." Luke called them. "You're not the only one who can fly!" They looked above them and saw Luke carried by Crysta. Luke then jumped and landed on the dragon. "Crysta, with my command spell, I order you to use your final skill!"

"Yes master!" Crysta dived towards Aura. "*Finale Skill: Fairy's Touch- Crystallization!" She touched Aura and Aura immediately became crystals then was broken afterwards.

"Sakura, by my command spell, I order you to use your final skill!" Luke ordered Sakura next to use her final skill.

"Yes master!" Sakura appeared behind him. She jumped high from the dragon. Crysta lift Luke and flew away from the dragon. Hundreds of cherry blossom petals gathered near Sakura. She slashed the dragon with her dagger covered with those petals going downwards. "Finale Skill: Final Strike- Dancing Petals in the Wind!"

As Sakura came down on the sandy ground, the dragon was like slashed a hundred times. The petals were like hundreds of blades that did a great damage on the dragon. The dragon fell on the ground and went back to being a human. His right leg was still cut-offed and has a lot of wounds all over his body. Luckily, he only has 4% left on his HP.

Crysta brought Luke down close to the master. Luke touched his head with the glove.

[Yuna]: Data analysis. Searching.. Search successful. The person is Dominic Hernandez. He has a lot of criminal cases like robbery and murder. Lately, he was hired by a group named Rouge Virtual Crusade. I've sent his exact location.

[Z-One]: Thanks Yuna. Nine, finish him.

Luke defeated the master and won the round.

[System]: Round 4: Region 8 is over. The victors are Master Luke Martin and Guardian Crystal Fairy. Congratulations! You will now proceed to the Final Round. The schedule of your next game will be v-mailed to you. You can now log-out of the game.

Luke logged-out of the game. Arthur had a talked with him.

"Mukhang nakatagpo tayo ng malaking problema." Arthur said. "Rouge Virtual Crusade.. malamang may mas malaking grupo ang may kinalaman dito. I-rereport ko muna ito kay Pegasus." He added. "May isang linggo ka na pahinga bago ang final round. Sa palagay ko hindi lang nag-iisa si Hernandez."

"A-Ano pong ibig mong sabihin?" Luke asked.

"May same reports din kasi hinihinalang virtual terrorist players sa regions 5, 7 and 11. Lahat din ng future gamers na assigned ay natalo. Ibig sabihin nakapasok sa Final Round yung tatlong virtual terrorist. I-update kita sa mga susunod na araw. For now, rest and continue your Team SAVE task."
