Chapter 66 - Essence Of Serenity: The Ice Within

King Lacrimus escorted them to talk to the Priestess of the Romanicians.

"We are here to seek for your help, Priestess Vezhna. We would like to know the location of the Crystallis." King Lacrimus asked the Priestess. "Calm winds in clear minds, the shards of serenity, unleash the coolness inside. This riddle will lead you to what you are seeking but there's only one of you who has the essence of Serenity." Priestess Vezhna replied.

"What do you mean, Priestess." Karen asked.

"It's for you to find out young ones. There is a huge trouble ahead but don't be worried as you have the power to release the beast within you. The stars might fall but your light will shine brightly enough to conquer all your enemies." Priestess Vezhna said.

The Priestess vanished all of a sudden leaving them with a riddle and premonition. She dropped a blue crystal shard. WarMits picked the shard. "Maybe she's talking about the remaining parts of this shard's whole." WarMits said.

"Calm winds... hmmm... I guess I have an ide..." ShadowGirl said and all of a sudden a huge meteor crashed and landed to Planet Roma. They were all alarmed and they experienced tremendous earthquake.

"What is that?!" SkyRick asked. "It's one of the Star Eaters! Let's move and protect the planet!" King Lacrimus said. They protected the planet and face the Star Eater. JackSpark lead the warriors. He used the Solaris Igneous to fight the monster. He used the Lock and Load again and delivered a strong slash to the monster. It was hurt by the slash but its energy keeps on increasing as it continues to absorb the power of the nearest star. "It just grows stronger and stronger. We need to annihilate it in a single blow." King Lacrima said. Jack used Zeus' Eternal Spark to the Solaris and the Star Eater was shattered into pieces. "I think that would be it." JackSpark said while panting heavily.

The Star Eater was rejuvenated in an instant and began attacking them again. Jack was plummeted really far as the Star Eater grew even stronger. Jack already used the last ounce of his energy through the Eternal Spark and fainted. The Star Eater is about to finish Jack but SkyRick saved him by the use of his flying gadget. He continued to dodge the sparkling beams of the Star Eater and got hit by one of the beams. They were toppled by the beam. SkyRick can hardly get up and the Star Eater rushed to Jack. It ate the Solaris Igneous and It exploded like a volcano. It turned shiny red as the power of the Solaris Igneous is inside the body of the monster.

"How can we beat that monster now?! It is way too strong for Jack to handle alone!" Pola said.

The Star Eater released an enormously powerful Flame Breath attack to destroy the core of the planet but SpecLady used the 3rd super wood spell of Harry, which is the Mighty Trentavine to hold the attack but her energy and Harry's power is not enough to hold the attack of the monster for a long period of time. She was hit by the breath attack and became unconscious, however, she was able to deflect the attack so it will not hit the core.

"Karen!!!!!!!" ShadowGirl rushed to her side. She cried heavily when she checked Karen's pulse.

"How's Karen, Stephanie?!" WarMits asked while shielding them.

"She's gone, WarMits!" Stephanie answered while crying. "Nooooooo!!" WarMits was enraged with anger and attacked the Star Eater. "WarMits! Wait!!!" Stephanie screamed to him but he didn't hear her. They all kept on attacking the Star Eater but their attacks doesn't hurt the monster due to its very strong energy.

One of the tears of Stephanie formed the second shard. She picked it up and thought for the riddle. "I think I know what is the answer to the riddle. It refers to the characteristics and representation of ice. The riddle is Ice!" Stephanie thought. The third and final shard formed in front of her and all of the three shards were all gathered to her hand to form a shining ice.

Harry used his fourth super wood spell, which is the Tree of Life and it healed Karen as she is still alive. Everyone is about to be conquered by the Star Eater when Stephanie released the Virsacrux (it is the hidden technique of Demetria used to freeze any being including the Gods). That technique does not melt as it froze the Star Eater. They have all witnessed the girl who wielded the Virsacrux and they were all amazed when the Crystallis formed on the hand of Stephanie.

"That's incredible! She is really the one who can wield the Crystallis!" King Lacrimus thought.

The Star Eater is about to break the Ice due to its energy but ShadowGirl delivered the Sparkling Crystal Dash and destroyed the Star Eater into pieces. Jack regained his strength and caught the Solaris Igneous from mid air. "I'm really glad to see you as a wielder of the Crystallis, Stephanie. Aaron will be so proud of you. Hehe!" Jack jokingly said to Stephanie. "Let's finish this, Captain! Stop fooling around." Stephanie replied.

"The Star Eater is reviving its body again. It will be more powerful again!" King Lacrimus yelled at them. "We won't allow that to happen, your majesty!" ShadowGirl yelled back to King Lacrimus.

"Are you ready, Captain?!" ShadowGirl asked JackSpark. "Lead the way, Ms. Cool stuff soon to be a Whitlock! Haha!" JackSpark responded while charging the Solaris Igneous. ShadowGirl activated the Verax Freeze by throwing the Crystallis to the ground near the scattered parts of the Star Eater and those parts froze while JackSpark delivered the Grand Dracona Burn to disentigrate the parts of the Star Eater. They celebrated their victory.

They checked on SpecLady and the rest of the Archadians and they are all alive and well.

"I told you, I will always protect you my Love." Harry said to Karen. "Well done, Harry! Thank you so much!" Karen replied.

SkyRick was covered by a huge debris so he didn't witness the last part of their battle. WarMits was still unconscious but he's still alive. Pola hugged Jack and King Lacrimus approached Stephanie to talk to her.

"It is a great honor to meet the true wielder of Lady Demetria's weapon, the Crystallis." King Lacrimus said while kneeling down in front of Stephanie. "It is my honor to protect all of you too, your majesty." Stephanie replied. They all went back to King Lacrimus place and discuss something before they all rest to their ship.

"We will be your allies in battle now, Lady Stephanie Baynes. I will allow the Vesuvius to accompany you with your journey towards finding the last three legendary weapons." King Lacrimus said.

"But who will protect this planet if the Vesuvius will come with us? We can do this, your majesty, we wont allow you to be in danger again once we are all set to leave. We will come back soon and I will take the responsibility of protecting your planet and your people from harmful elements like the Star Eaters. I promise you, we will come back." Stephanie said.

"It's been a great experience to fight alongside you Romanicians. You were all like Earthians. We will consider this planet as our third home." Jack said.

"Thank you so much for helping us find the Crystallis and beat the Star Eater. We are really grateful of your hospitality." Karen said.

"It's been a tough time fighting that monster but nothing can beat our teamwork. Thank you for all of your support." Rick said.

"You really are strong in battle like us and we believe that we will still see each other again someday. I wish to fight alongside you again." Takeo said.

"All of us are so blessed to find each other. We will definitely win against the Dark Gods this time." Supreme Kai Janus said.

"Thank you and I hope you all stay safe as always." Pola said.

"If that is your decision, we will respect that, Lady Stephanie. We do expect for your return here on Planet Roma. We also expect you to return and celebrate with us, Earthians and Hexians. Good bye and see you again, our friends." King Lacrimus said his farewell to the crew.

They all rest to their ship before leaving the next day. They have already found the Crystallis and three more Legendary weapons to go.
