Chapter 316 - The Ark Of The Beast That Save A Child

"I am not like the others. I will make you into my lab rat to test out all the poisons of the world. And when I finally get to my goal of making the Corrupt Element into a virus, I will destroy Earth as well. So, I will give you hell for the next few years," threatened the man as he tightened his grip.

"As if! My whole life is already hell, you won't be able to beat that!" spat the child, with a grin.

"Why you..."

Suddenly, a roar rang throughout the area. The man stopped and released the child from his grasp. He had forgotten, the two of them had run out of the town that they were in. He looked around frantically, trying to figure out where they were.

The place looked barren like they were somewhere foreign. There weren't any signs of life around, nor any greenery. All, except for the roar they had heard earlier. He then shook his head and grabbed the child once more, trying to head back.

"Release that child. NOW."

Now, the voice sounded directly above him. He looked up and was met with the giant underbelly of the beast. The famed Bahamut that Alice had been talking about. The man was fearful as he refused to let the child go.

"And let you eat her? No way!" shouted the man, trying to shield the child.

But at this point, it was clear that the kid wanted to get away from the area. The Bahamut was fearsome, with its wings conjuring up a storm. Its roar could definitely be heard from the next continent away. It struck fear into the child but she was hopeful that the beast was better.

"Release her at once. That is my final order."

"No."

"Then you leave me with no choice."

The Bahamut landed onto the ground, kicking up a dust storm. The ground shook as it landed, with her claws digging into the dirt. It let out a final roar before baring its fangs at the hooded figure. The child had already lost her balance and was on sitting on her backside on the ground.

She then looked around and saw the terrifying beast in front of her, who was busy scaring the man. But there was something awfully familiar with this creature. Especially the creature's eyes and wings. She then recalled the people next door.

It was the mother and child who she dreamed about playing with. As soon as she knew it, the little girl stood up and shouted.

"Help me!" she hollered.

The beast then stood on its hind legs and stretched its wings as far as it could. It p[pointed its snout into the air and let out a deafening roar. It shook the ground violently, making the area seem like it was going through an earthquake. But with all the bombs happening, no one could tell.

The Bahamut's eyes widened as it lashed out onto the man. The man drew out a large scythe and proceeded to face off the fearsome beats. Though the man was small compared to the Bahamut, it would seem that he had experience in killing these types of beasts.

The two battled it in grand style, with both using some sort of Magecraft. The area was dazzled as the child watched on. Her mouth was agape as she tried to hold her excitement. It looked magical, even if she knew was a battle.

But things were going to end soon as the Bahamut drew up to its and height and threw its head back. There was some form of light or energy that surrounded the Bahamut. Unknown to the child, it was an Elemental Aura. It was difficult for the child to see but now it was clear.

"Battle Outfit: Topaz," chanted the Bahamut.

It opened its snout and prepared to aim for the man. But the man was also prepared. The child freaked out but caught the Bahamut's eyes. She was right, the voice and the eyes... They were all belonging to the mother next door.

"One of the frontline Bahamuts, huh? Well, that doesn't scare me too much. But it is it ċumbersome," complained the man.

The man stood strong and spun his scythe, creating a makeshift windmill. It conjured up a nasty wind, making the child cough with all the dust scattered about.

"Cascada; Third Moon..." said the man, as blue light gathered within his scythe windmill.

"Topaz Wings..." growled the Bahamut.

"Wave of the NIght."

"Burst Of Flames!"
