After the last Bothyture wave, Gileth has killed 87 Bothytures. Watra has only killed 53. For eleven minutes, the two have been sitting and waiting for the next wave.
Gileth’s eyebrows are furrowed. “I’m bored! Let’s just end this. I won!”
Watra’s eyebrows are narrowed as she turns to Gileth on her left side. “Silence! Let’s play rock-paper-scissors again before they come!”
Gileth sighed. “Okay…”
Gileth smirks as he shows ‘scissors’ from his right hand, and Watra shows ‘paper’ from her right hand.
Gileth mocks Watra. “You’re no match for me! Just give up!”
“Just wait for the next monsters!” Watra grumbled.
Gileth smiles. “Yeah! Get ready for my next battle!”
After waiting for three minutes, Gileth stood up as he and Watra saw 10 Bothyghters, 10 Bothwordsmen on their left side, 10 Bothoblins behind them, and 10 Second Form Bothoblins on the Bothoblins’ right side.
As soon as Gileth walks towards the enemies, Watra stands up quickly. She runs past Gileth and places her hands on the ground.
Blue auras appeared around her hands and spread on the ground until they shaped like a 10 m giant ruler.
Watra releases her hands from the ground and stretches them forward. Blue auras appeared around her hands. The giant ruler aura transforms into a giant wave 15 meters high with a giant monster face that releases a roaring sound for ten seconds.
The roaring sound is so loud it shocks Garuvy and Negato, who are sitting on the mat inside the barrier.
After the wave hits all the monsters, the giant monster face releases another giant wave from its mouth. Thereafter, the previous giant wave disappears. The new giant wave features a giant monster face that emits a roaring sound. Then the wave hits the enemies.
The giant wave keeps duplicating ten times. It causes a temporary flood. After that, the giant wave and the blue auras around her hands disappeared. All the enemies are dead.
Watra lowers her hands. “And the winner is me!”
Gileth’s eyebrows are furrowed. “You’re a cheater!”
Watra smiles as she turns to Gileth. “First come, first serve!”
“Fine, let’s wait for another wave!” Gileth grumbled.
Watra walks towards the barrier. “No, I’m done.”
Gileth’s eyebrows are raised. “What?”
Watra turns to Gileth. “I’m tired. The loser gets punished! You stay here while getting rid of the dead monsters!”
Gileth groaned as Watra continued to walk to the barrier. Then he approaches seven dead Bothyghters and five dead Bothoblins that are nearby. He burns them to ashes with the roaring blue fires from his hands.
After Watra almost approaches the barrier edge, Negato stands up from the mat and approaches the barrier edge near Watra.
He puts his right hand on the barrier edge. A light blue aura appeared around Negato’s right hand. It creates a barrier hole.
Negato smiles. “Nice play, Watra!”
Watra smiles and turns to Negato. “It’s not good, actually. I just don’t want to lose.”
“It’s okay! Sometimes we have to do that.” He releases his right hand from the barrier edge. Then he and Watra approach Garuvy, who sits on the edge of the torn mat with both knees bent to her chest and both feet wearing sandals and touching the ground.
The girl smiles. “That was awesome, Mrs. Watra! But I wonder, the monster faces that appeared before, what are those?”
“Oh, it’s called Roaring Bothyner. I use Roaring Water Bothyner, and Gileth uses Roaring Fire Bothyner,” Watra explained.
Negato sits on Garuvy’s left side.
“Oooh… How do you release it?” Garuvy asked.
“I said Roaring Water Bothyner in my mind.”
Garuvy’s eyebrows are knitted. “What? You said it in your mind?”
Watra and Negato’s eyebrows are raised.
“You still don’t know?” Watra smiled before she added. “Ah, yes, you haven’t learned anything about Bothyner, right?”
Negato smiles. “Just teach her now. No need to wait until she enters the Bothyzard Academy.”
“Okay.” Watra nodded before she added. “In order to release our Bothyner, we don’t say the spell with our mouths like most wizards in fiction. We say the spell in our minds.”
“Why?” Garuvy asked as her eyebrows knitted.
“Because that is how the Bothyner Spell works according to the Bothyner World Guidebook,” Watra replied.
“Yeah.” Negato nodded before he added. “TLBC said so too.”
Garuvy turns to Negato. “TLBC?”
Negato turns to Garuvy. “TLBC means ‘The Light Ball Creature’. He is a creature that lives in a place I don’t know where. All Bothyner users who have a unique Bothyner can meet him directly, includin’ me. Then the creature gives us a guide to use the unique power.”
Garuvy’s eyebrows are knitted. “Light ball creature?” Her eyes are wide and her eyebrows are raised. “Oh, yes! I met him in my dream before!”
“You met him?” Negato asked.
“Yes!” Garuvy replied.
“I met him too,” Watra interrupted.
Negato and Garuvy turn to Watra.
“All Roaring Bothyner users have met the creature,” Watra explained.
Negato smiles. “Yeah, because Roaring Bothyner is truly unique.”
“But when I met him in my dream, he didn’t explain about my power. He just said that I will become the Death Angel,” Garuvy explained.
Watra’s and Negato’s eyes widened as their eyebrows rose.
Negato turns to Garuvy. “The Death Angel?”
“Yes.” Garuvy nodded as she turned to Negato. “He said so.”
“What does it mean? Will you become a figure of death? For what?” Watra asked.
“I don’t know.” Garuvy shook her head as she turned to Watra. “That’s why I asked you.”
Negato’s eyebrows are knitted. “We don’t know either. That creature is still mysterious to us.”
Garuvy turns to Negato.
“We all suspect that he created Bothyner. I asked what his purpose was when I met him in my dream. He won’t answer, and he threatened that he’ll destroy one of my cupboards in my house if I try to fight him. After I woke up from my dream, I noticed that the cupboard in my bedroom was destroyed,” Negato continued.
Garuvy’s and Watra’s eyes widened as their eyebrows rose.
“What? Is it real?” Garuvy shouted.
“Yeah.” Negato nodded before he continued. “But luckily, the clothes in the cupboard were not torn.”
“The same incident happened to Gileth,” Watra interrupted.
Garuvy turns to Watra.
Watra’s face is crumpled. “After Gileth asked TLBC about the creature’s motive, Gileth was threatened that 10 people near his residence would die if he tried to fight the creature. After he woke up from his dream, he received sad news from 10 of his neighbors.”
Garuvy’s eyes widened as her eyebrows rose highly.
“Yeah.” Negato nodded before he added. “That’s big news. I’ve heard about it.”
Watra looked down as her face crumpled. “The incident made him have to attend their funeral because he felt guilty…”
“He dared to kill too?” Garuvy shouted.
Watra turns to Garuvy. “Yes. It means TLBC can kill anyone and destroy anything, depending on his wishes.”
Negato’s face is crumpled. “We can’t ask the creature’s purpose…”
The three remain silent for a minute. Outside the barrier, Gileth releases roaring blue fires from his hands towards four Bothwordsmen and five Second Form Bothoblins.
“Okay.” Garuvy nodded before she continued. “I want to ask about the Bothyner Spell to release your Roaring Bothyner, Mrs. Watra.”
“Oh, for me, if I want to release the Chain Water technique…”
“Wait!” Negato stood up from the mat before he continued. “Let’s show the technique in front of her. I’ll ward it off with my Reflect Bothyner."
Watra smiled as she turned to Negato. “Oh, okay, sir.”
Watra stands on the ground quite far in front of Garuvy and faces Negato, who is quite far away from her. She stretches her right hand towards Negato. The male Bothyzard does the same thing.
“Okay, Garuvy, if I want to release the Chain Water technique from my right hand, I must say Roaring Water Bothyner: Chain Water: Right Hand in my mind. If I want to release it from my left hand, I just need to change the last two words to left hand. To release it from both of my hands, I must say left hand and right hand after saying Chain Water,” Watra explained.
Negato smiles. “My Reflect Bothyner is different. If I want to create a semi-circular reflective barrier like I did when I first appeared here, and I want to release it from my right hand, I must say Reflect Bothyner: Semi-Circular Reflective Barrier: Right Hand in my mind. After that, I must control the Reflect Bothyner inside my body to determine how big the barrier is.”
Garuvy’s eyebrows are knitted. “What? Controlling your Bothyner?”
“Yes.” Watra nodded before she added. “You can’t just release your Bothyner with a spell. You have to feel it and control it.”
“And if I want to create a circular reflective barrier like I did when I reflected your rocks with my right hand, I must say Reflect Bothyner: Circular Reflective Barrier: Right Hand. I must determine the size of the barrier too,” Negato continued.
Watra smiles. “Alright, let’s get started, sir.”
Negato smiles. “Roger.”
Watra releases a blue electrical spark around her right hand that turns into a blue aura after a second. Then she releases a stomach-sized water splash from her right palm. The splash has a monster face that releases a roaring sound for ten seconds.
Negato releases a blue aura around his right hand that can spread to the surrounding area within a radius of 20 meters. The aura transforms into a transparent light blue semi-circular barrier that makes the roaring water splash turn around 180 degrees. Then the reflective barrier disappeared.
“This is called a roaring water splash, Garuvy,” Watra explained.
Watra makes the roaring water splash release a duplicate roaring water splash from the monster’s face. Thereafter, the previous water splash disappeared.
The duplicate turns to Negato after releasing the same roaring sound. Negato releases a semi-circular reflective barrier to reflect the water splash. The action repeated until Negato reflected the tenth duplicate water splash, the splash disappeared, and the blue auras around Negato’s and Watra’s right hands disappeared.
Garuvy smiles. “That was cool! What about your other techniques, Mrs. Watra?”
“If I want to release the Roaring Water Gun technique from my right hand, I must say Roaring Water Bothyner: Roaring Water Gun: Right Hand,” Watra explained.
Watra’s right hand is coated with a blue aura before it turns into a roaring water gun that looks like a European dragon head that is made from water. It has the same size as a human head and releases a roaring sound for ten seconds.
“If I want to fire the gun…”
“Wait!” Negato stretches his hands towards Watra as his eyebrows rise. “Don’t fire it at me! I can’t ward it off because I can’t release my reflective barrier rapidly! I need an anti-technique barrier to reflect your water gun, but only the two Illboth Supreme Leaders who have that kind of power!”
Garuvy’s eyebrows are knitted. “Illboth Supreme Leaders?”
Negato turns to Garuvy. “They’re the supreme leaders of Illboth, one of the enemy organizations.”
Watra smiles. “It’s okay, sir. I just want to show this to her.”
Negato smiles as he turns to Watra. “Thank you!” He lowers his hands.
“
I almost died!
” Negato said.
“Alright, if I want to fire the gun, I must say Roaring Water Gun: Fire.” Watra explained.
“No, don’t!” Negato laughed.
“I didn’t say it, sir!” Watra laughed.
“Yes.” Garuvy nodded before she continued. “I saw the shot earlier. It’s so strong!” She smiled.
“And if I want to get rid of the water gun, I must say Roaring Water Gun: Deactivate,” Watra explained. The roaring water gun in her right hand disappears.
“Next, if I want to release a flying water dragon head from my right hand, I must say Roaring Water Bothyner: Flying Water Dragon Head: Right Hand: One,” Watra explained.
Watra releases a blue aura around her right hand. The flying water dragon head that came out from Watra’s right palm was the same as the dragon head that was used as a water gun earlier.
“I control the dragon head’s movement with the blue aura in my hand.” She makes the flying dragon head move around in the air by directing her right hand at it.
“If I want to make it charge at someone or something, I must say Flying Water Dragon Head: Charge Attack: One after directing my right hand to someone or something,” Watra explained.
Watra directs her right hand to Negato. “Prepare yourself, sir!”
Negato smiles. “Affirmative!”
The flying dragon head flies at Negato. He dodges its charge attack before it flies away and approaches Watra.
“I will summon another flying water dragon head from my left hand with Roaring Water Bothyner: Flying Water Dragon Head: Left Hand: One.”
Watra releases a blue aura around her left hand and summons a flying water dragon head from her left palm.
“I can make them charge at a target with Flying Water Dragon Head: Charge Attack: Two.”
After directing her hands at Negato, the two dragon heads fly at him. After Negato dodges their charge attack, they approach Watra.
“I can make them release water spray with Flying Water Dragon Head: Water Breath: Two.”
Watra directs her hands to the ground. The dragon heads release water breath towards the ground.
“If I want to make them disappear. I must say Flying Water Dragon Head: Vanish.” She makes the flying water dragon heads and the blue auras around her hands vanish.
Watra puts her hands on the ground. “If I want to create a giant wave like before, I must say Roaring Water Bothyner: Monstrous Wave.”
“No!” Negato stretches his hands towards Watra. “Don’t create a giant wave here!”
Watra chuckled. “I just put my hands on the ground, sir.”
She releases her hands from the ground and smiles as she turns to Garuvy. “That is all I can tell you about my ability. Anything else, dear?”
“What about Mr. Gileth’s ability?” Garuvy asked.
“Oh, don’t worry!” Watra smiled before she added. “I will call him here! Come on, Mr. Negato!”
Negato smiles. “Okay!”
Negato and Watra approach the barrier edge to create a barrier hole. Garuvy looks down.
“
They can fight monsters. I can only hide in here…
” Garuvy said.
Garuvy’s eyebrows are furrowed. “
I must do something.
”
To be continued.
