Chapter 15:ALONE??

The next day. Voltrania was sitting in her office alone, she was making the Lyovianne codex which would be a guideline for life and law for the Lyovianne nation, in a few days she would announce the inauguration of the Lyovianne codex to her people.

In a few moments of silence, Lily knocked on the door and entered his office while carrying her tablet.

Lily bowed respectfully before speaking.

"Your Majesty, we have found an unusual Destroyer, it seems that it is absorbing energy in a destroyed area that we found through a patrol drone."

Voltrania looked up from her work and looked at Lily.

"An unusual Destroyer?"

Lily began.

"That's right."

She handed her tablet to Voltrania. Voltrania took the tablet and looked at what Lily was talking about. The screen showed a destroyed area with only the rubble of collapsed buildings left, and the camera zoomed in on a video showing a giant lizard-like Destroyer with a robotic body absorbing a lot of energy in the area, seemingly enjoying it.

The Destroyer saw the drone that was recording it, it quickly pulled the drone and destroyed it. Voltrania was surprised by the movement, she had some questions in her head, how could the Destroyer know it? She had a strange feeling about it.

Voltrania held her chin in confusion.

"Hmm, how could the Destroyer know our drone and attack it? This is very unnatural. I feel something more than just a monster, the Destroyer still has the mind to do it?"

Voltrania realized something, immediately stood up with a serious expression, she looked at Lily.

"Is there anyone who has no work today?"

Lily shook her head.

"No your highness, all the Crimson Wings are busy doing their respective duties and missions."

Voltrania looked at her desk.

"Damn it!, I guess I have to do it myself, get my motorcycle ready!"

Voltrania put her sword sheath and knife on her back waist, she also put her inventory on her waist, she pressed the button on her necklace to change her clothes into her old battle clothes that had been updated, now she was ready. Voltrania rushed out of the base where her motorcycle was waiting, the gate opened slowly, she started riding at full speed towards the coordinates that Lily had given.

During the motorcycle ride, Voltrania felt the electricity in her sword and spear begin to react to something similar to a strong magnetic field, meaning she was getting closer to her destination.

Voltrania finally arrived at the location, she looked at the surrounding buildings floating in the air, and the most surprising thing was that most of the materials of the buildings were iron. From a distance, Voltrania saw the Destroyer that she saw through the drone earlier, the monster was absorbing the magnetic energy around it to strengthen itself, the strong winds around it carrying dust and small objects.

Voltrania drew her sword from its sheath and prepared to charge at the monster, but before she could take a stance, she heard small footsteps behind her. She spun around and leveled her sword, looking around slowly to make sure she didn't miss anything.

Finally Voltrania saw something light blue behind the rubble, she slowly approached the object carefully and remained alert, she finally saw something behind the rubble. It was a little girl with light blue hair in plain white clothes and eyes as blue as the ocean, she was holding a mysterious black cube-shaped object, the little girl was very scared when she saw Voltrania.

Voltrania stared at the little girl for a moment then lowered her alertness, she knelt in front of the girl and asked softly.

"Hey girl, why are you here?"

The little girl looked at her in fear before answering in a trembling voice.

"I... don't know... I'm hungry..."

Voltrania knew the little girl's purpose for being here, she was hungry and looking for food in a place like this, but this place was very dangerous for a little girl like her, especially with the Destroyer in the middle of the city.

Voltrania reached out her hand towards her and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Come here, I will take you to a safe place and give you food."

The little girl hesitated for a moment, she didn't know whether she could trust her or not, she was so afraid of trusting the wrong person, but all she saw was sincerity through her gaze. After a few moments of silence, the girl took Voltrania's hand slowly and tremblingly.

Voltrania smiled slightly and started to carry the girl to her motorcycle, she turned on the Celestial Shield on her motorcycle which protected the motorcycle and the little girl.

Voltrania said softly to the girl.

"Wait here, after I'm done, we'll eat well until you're full. Understand?"

The girl nodded slightly while holding the black cube in her hand tightly. Voltrania turned around and held her sword sheath tightly, she took a stance before finally moving at lightning speed towards the Destroyer, her body was already filled with red lightning and a very thick Crimson energy aura.

Meanwhile, the Destroyer Lizard was still sucking up the magnetic energy around him, his expression was like he was enjoying a pleasant warm bath, but he saw something in the distance that was approaching him very quickly. Suddenly Voltrania appeared in front of him with her sword already drawn from its sheath, she slashed it with a very strong attack that hit the Destroyer's body and made it fly very far, the absorption process stopped and the Destroyer fell to the ground.

The Destroyer slowly stood up and smiled while sticking out his tongue, he didn't feel any pain at all, he stared at Voltrania for a moment before finally starting to speak.

"Ah~ so you are the great Voltrania."

Voltrania froze for a moment in her thoughts, why could this Destroyer speak? And how did he know her? Many questions popped up in her head, but she wanted to focus on the battle first before knowing all the answers, she stared at the Destroyer and said flatly.

"How did you know about me?"

The lizard bowed and replied.

"I know all of your accomplishments through the information I have gathered, and it is an honor for me to be able to fight you."

Voltrania gripped her sword tighter.

"Tch!, you pest, state your identity." She said while pointing her sword.

The lizard replied.

"My name is Metallic, I was assigned by my master to do something."

Voltrania was once again surprised by the answer, a Destroyer who had a name, could talk and had a master, all of this was the first time she saw something like this in her life. She asked once again flatly.

"What is your real purpose?"

Metallic jumped towards Voltrania very fast and tried to hit her with his big hammer, Voltrania moved behind him very fast and slashed his back, but the slash was stopped in the air as if there was a magnetic field that surrounded Metallic's body. He exploded a magnetic energy that made Voltrania fly away.

"So tough," Voltrania muttered.

Metallic grinned.

"My body is not to be destroyed that easily."

Voltrania wasted no time. She stepped back and raised one hand, gathering Crimson Lightning energy at her fingertips. In an instant, a red flash shot out of her hand, targeting his body.

CRACK!

However, something unexpected happened. As soon as the lightning touched Metallic's body, it disappeared instantly—absorbed by his iron body!

Metallic raised his claw, showing the sparks of energy that were now swirling around his body. "Not just absorbing," he said, before suddenly shooting the electricity back at Voltrania.

Voltrania jumped back, but the attack was faster than he expected. A bolt of electricity struck her shoulder, making her flinch slightly. Her body felt heavier than before.

"It's not just your electricity that I can absorb," Metallic continued with a grin. "My magnetic abilities can also interfere with your movements."

Voltrania clenched her jaw. She could feel the parts of her body that had come into contact with Metallic's attack starting to stiffen slightly. It was as if there was a magnetic pull affecting his movements.

However, she would not be defeated that easily. Voltrania quickly changed strategy. She put away her sword and replaced it with a long spear, which she immediately spun in her hand.

"Do you think I only rely on electricity?" She said coldly.

In an instant, she shot forward, her spear spinning through the air at a terrifying speed. Metallic tried to react, but Voltrania was much faster. In one motion, she thrust her spear straight into one of Metallic's metal joints, impaling it hard.

Metallic let out a loud growl. Despite his strong body, his mechanical joints still had weak points. Voltrania seized the opportunity, raining down a barrage of spear strikes on the creature, targeting the joints and gaps in his body that were not protected by the armor plates.

Metallic felt pain in some parts of his body, but he immediately jumped towards Voltrania and hit her with his big hammer towards one of the buildings, Voltrania was thrown into the building and crashed very hard.

Voltrania immediately stood up again and rushed towards him to attack, but the monster pulled some debris from the ground to create a shield to block his attack, but Voltrania destroyed the shield with the tip of her spear which was already charged with very strong electricity.

Metallic saw the opportunity, he avoided Voltrania's attack by quickly strangling her neck and then slamming her to the ground, Voltrania was surprised by the movement and immediately tried to escape from his grip.

Metallic smiled sadistically and spoke.

"Now you are one of my meals." He absorbed the electricity inside Voltrania's body on a large scale which made her in pain, Voltrania screamed in pain as her power was absorbed.

After some time, Voltrania's body began to weaken and almost lost consciousness, the monster dropped her to the ground hard and began to leave her. Metallic jumped away to find the object he was targeting because he was sure that the object was near him.

Voltrania felt very tired and could not move, her eyes forced her to sleep, all her electrical energy had disappeared in her body, she did not expect to lose to a monster that could talk. Suddenly Voltrania realized something, the Crimson energy in her body was not absorbed at all, that meant she could use it against him.

Voltrania stood weakly and spoke flatly.

"You can't absorb other energy besides Electricity, right?"

Metallic stopped in his place, he replied sarcastically.

"Even if you know that, you still have no chance of defeating me."

Voltrania slowly drew her sword from its sheath, a blood red aura slowly emerged, she wore her pointed sunglasses as her body was filled with a strong red Electric current and Crimson energy.

Metallic held his hammer again and spoke in a disdainful tone.

"Huh? You still want more? I'll give you twice as much as before."

With that Metallic jumped to hit Voltrania with his large hammer, but Voltrania dodged with lightning speed and launched a very powerful slash from behind him, Metallic was hit by the attack and was thrown into one of the flying fragments.

He couldn't predict Voltrania's movement this time, Before he tried to move, Voltrania threw her spear at him and stabbed his stomach. Metallic felt pain while coughing blood, why did the spear penetrate his armor and also hurt him, he tried to release it but it was too strong.

Suddenly several lines appeared in the air around him, Voltrania appeared as fast as lightning behind him and put her sword in its sheath, Metallic was shocked by the very fast appearance, suddenly Metallic felt dozens of invisible slashes on his body which made him scream.

"AAAAHHH"

Metallic finally got away from Voltrania's spear and fell to the ground, his body making a small earthquake around him as it hit the ground very hard. He opened his eyes and saw Voltrania already on top of him pointing her sword at his face, Voltrania looked at him very cynically before finally stabbing him with her sword.

Voltrania looked at him flatly.

"If you want my Electricity, then I will give it all"

Voltrania flows her electricity into Metallic's body very much, this time it is not ordinary electricity that can be easily absorbed by him, this is Crimson Lightning made of pure Crimson energy. Metallic screams in pain, he should be happy to be given more power, but this time it feels very different, it feels very painful and very torturous.

A few moments of the flow of Crimson Lightning, finally the energy tube in Metallic's body finally explodes due to excess capacity and makes him thrown far away.

Metallic hit the ground coughing and making the place around him covered in dust, he looked at the wound on his stomach and wiped some of the blood there before returning his gaze forward. After the dust cleared, his pupils shrank when he saw a red light extending towards the sky, it was Voltrania who used her ultimate technique or her final technique, burning Crimson energy appeared on his sword as it was above her head.

Voltrania asked dryly.

"I'll ask you once, who is your master?"

Metallic started to deny it.

"N-no way, I won't answer that."

Voltrania smiled sarcastically and began to pronounce her final decision firmly and with authority.

"Before the might of the universe, You will be judged by the hand that brings truth! By the power of justice, I end this chaos! Perish in the merciless judgment!"

Voltrania slashed Metallic's body very strongly, the slash of Crimson energy made the air and the ground vibrate greatly, a kind of crack and wave of space appeared, Voltrania channeled a large Crimson electric energy in the attack. Metallic's body was split into two and turned into ashes, making the ground around them vibrate violently and some fragments were thrown away.

After Voltrania's powerful attack was over, Metallic's body had become dust on the ground, the Crimson energy attack began to subside slowly and left Voltrania standing there.

Voltrania took a deep breath before finally remembering the little girl she met earlier, she tried to turn around to go back and check on the girl on her motorcycle.

The remnants of the battle between Voltrania and Metallic were still felt in the tense atmosphere. The rubble collapsed slowly, and silence reigned over the 910 area.

However, amidst the destruction—Applause was heard.

Clap… Clap… Clap…

The voice sounded relaxed, seductive, but also held an intimidating aura of danger. Voltrania immediately stopped in her tracks and sharpened her gaze.

From the sky, a woman with a seductive appearance descended. Valentina.

The woman wore a long black and red dress with a high slit that showed off her long legs. Her long hair was dark purple with blood red gradations, flowing freely on her back. But what stood out the most were her golden eyes that shone sharply, filled with a sense of superiority and sadism.

"Gosh…" Valentina's voice was soft, containing a dangerously seductive tone. "My poor Lizard… was completely crushed like trash by the Supreme Judge Lyovianne. How pitiful~"

She slowly walked towards the rubble where Metallic's body was shattered into pieces. Her high heel stepped on one of the still smoking metal remains of Metallic's body.

Valentina grinned sarcastically.

"And you… can't even fight a woman on your own? How disappointing."

The woman's tone was gentle, but filled with cold scorn. She then turned to Voltrania, her smile widening like a predator who had just found an interesting prey.

"But I must admit… you amuse me, Voltrania."

She looked the great judge up and down, as if assessing her prey.

"That red electricity, your magnificent Crimson slash… You are truly an interesting woman."

Voltrania was unfazed. Her eyes remained sharp, full of alertness.

"Who are you?" she asked coldly.

Valentina put her hand to her chest with a mock offended expression.

"Oh, it's a shame you've never heard of me~" She then bowed slightly, as if in greeting, but still with her sly gaze. "My name is Valentina. And I am one of the higher-ups of… 'Alone' (Abyssal Lords of Never-ending Extinction)."

For a moment, the air felt heavier. The name sounded strange, but somehow… it gave me a bad feeling. "Alone?" Voltrania repeated suspiciously. Valentina smiled lopsidedly. "That's right, dear. We are an organization that stands outside the moral boundaries of this world. We are not bound by stupid rules like the ones you made in Lyovianne. We are free will. We are eternity. We are… the ones who will erase you one day."

Valentina's relaxed gaze slowly turned menacing.

"And Metallic is just one of the many pawns we have."

She then let out a long sigh, as if bored, and stared at the remains of Lizard in disgust. "Unfortunately, I did not come to avenge Metallic's death."

Her gaze shifted back to Voltrania, this time with a smile full of intrigue.

"I simply wanted to see how interesting our opponent would be… and it seems I am quite satisfied."

She then turned around, as if to leave. But before disappearing into the shadows, she turned her head briefly.

"Oh yes… Voltrania."

Her tone was now colder, more serious.

"I hope you are prepared… because this is just the beginning."

With a single movement of his hand, a thick purple mist appeared and engulfed her body, dissipating it in an instant. Silence once again enveloped the 910 region. However, Voltrania knew… this was the beginning of a much greater threat.

Voltrania gripped her sword tighter, now she realized something, all the Injustice Virus must have something to do with this 'Alone', so the enemy that hid behind the tragedy of the extinction of men years ago was their doing. She gripped her hand and sword very tightly because of anger.

A few moments later, she took a deep breath and let it out slowly, she would tell the others when she returned, but for now she needed to bring the little girl back to the Crimson Wing headquarters so that the little girl could get treatment.

To be continued...
