Chapter 24 What A Prank!

  Inside the hangar illuminated with magic spells, Jake and Arlain stood in front of the shooting lights and enemy weapons aimed at them.

  "What did you say Terra Humanist?" Sentria pointed the tip of her sword at Jake who raised his hand.

  "I surrender! I surrender! I'll hand over this Great Noble or whatever! Please spare me!" Jake said in a panic as he watched the large tiger-like animal robots emitting sounds from the large guns on their backs.

  Hearing that, Sentria raised her hand to sign her subordinates to lower their weapons.

  "You betraying Arlain the Great, Terra Humanis?" Sentria asked coldly.

  "Please! Please! Let's make a deal!" Jake begged with a forced smile. "Please! Let's make a deal! I will give him to you for my life!"

  Seeing Jake like that, Sentria snorted from behind her helmet before laughing out loud "Ahahaha!"

  Followed by laughter from her subordinates, the front of Sentria's helmet opened showing her beautiful face and cold red eyes.

  "You're begging for your life now? Even though you were so brave to me before?" Sentria said coldly and her red eyes looked at Jake in deep anger.

  "Yes! Yes! I'm sorry about that! I don't know what I said! But! But now I've brought what you wanted!!" Jake spoke in fear pointing Arlain on his head, while Arlain just watched silently.

  Seeing Arlain who just fell silent, Sentria spoke to Arlain with an insulting tone "Arlain the Great, how does it feel to be betrayed for the second time?"

  And yet, Arlain was just silent, but Sentria knew Arlain could hear her well, watching Jake carefully, Sentria considered her options, there was actually no reason for her to make a deal with this Terra Humanis, all she needed was the Great Noble, although it might be fun to play around a bit, but Sentria could feel this Terra Humanis was dangerous and cunning, from what she knew this might be some kind of trap.

  Deciding on her choice quickly, Sentria opened her lips "I accept your gift, but you know, I hate-"

  "Traitor! Yes! I guessed it!" Jake cut Sentria's words, making Sentria raise her brows.

  "You were just about to cut me in half dramatically weren't you? A classic villain move" Jake's words made all the weapons in the room point at his head once more, but Sentria gave the signal to lower them again, before looking at Jake with sharp piercing eyes.

  "I guess you still have some courage, Terra Humanis, not for long" Sentria said in a low tone as her sword rang with magic.

  "Hey! Hey! Stop! Can you listen to me first! We're going to die if we keep going like this!" Jake said hurriedly, making Sentria narrow her eyes suspiciously.

  "What do you mean?"

  "Yeah, you know this ship lost its power, right?" Jake spoke in a serious tone.

  "That's because you sabotaged the ship core!" Sentria replied angrily, remembering that her father's beloved ship had been ravaged by the two.

  "It wasn't me! It wasn't me!!" Jake shook his head with all his might, before showing the pink slime on his head "He's the one who did it! He's the one who destroyed your ship!"

  Hearing Jake's desperate denial, Sentria spoke "Then what? Do you think I'll forgive you with an excuse like that?"

  "No! Of course not! But there's something even more dangerous, you know that all the energy on this ship is gone, right? Do you know where all the energy went?"

  Jake's words made Sentria furrow her eyebrows once again, indeed all the mana energy in the ship's core suddenly disappeared, even the ship's backup core died for no apparent reason, but the most certain possibility was the work of the Great Nobel in front of her, but she couldn't imagine how he could remove the energy of the entire ship in such an instant.

  While Sentria was thinking in her head, Jake spoke loudly "You know, this slime is planning to blow up this entire ship!"

  Hearing Jake's words, Sentria raised her head in surprise "That's...impossible"

  If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

  At the same time, her subordinates behind Sentria who heard it let out a mixed sound of shock and disbelief.

  "Yes! That's what he wants to do! He's gathering all the mana on this ship to commit suicide! This slime is crazy! You have to help me! I don't want to die yet!" Jake jumped to Sentria's feet and cried with snot in his nose "You have to stop him!!"

  Seeing Jake at her feet with disgust, Sentria spoke to Arlain in Jake's head "Arlain Felfantaria! What are you planning!!"

  Hearing Sentria's angry question, Arlain answered flatly "To blow up this entire ship and kilometers around it"

  "You bastard-".

  "That's why! You have to stop this crazy slime!!" Jake shouted before standing up from her feet, and shouting towards the ceiling, then dramatically fell to his knees in despair.

  Seeing Jake's overreaction, Sentria felt unable to follow the situation.

  "Arlain Felfantaria! Quickly tell me-"

  "Oh! I know where he put his magic circle!" Jake said loudly cutting off Sentria's words once more.

  "Magic circle?" Sentria frowned at the words she just heard.

  "Oh...you don't know? That's right! The magic circle will explode and it's already set in time! It's his special advanced magic! And I know where he put it!" Jake explained wholeheartedly, still maintaining his dramatic gestures.

  "You know?" Sentria, who was completely absorbed in Jake's story, asked in surprise.

  "Yes! I know! But we have to hurry!" Jake nodded enthusiastically.

  Hearing Jake's explanation, Sentria hesitated for a moment before speaking.

  "Then tell me where it is! And if you're lying..." Sentria said as she pointed her sword at Jake's face, but Jake shook his head in panic.

  "No! No! No! I'm not sure of the exact location! And if we take too long to find it, it'll be too late!" Jake urged before continuing "It would be faster if I could tell you where the magic circle is from this ship's map!"

  Hearing Jake's words, there was a slight reaction from Arlain in his head, usually Sentria would notice this subtle change, but She was now too focused on saving her father's beloved ship and preventing the failure of Gordoban's meeting with the Great Noble, moreover such an explosion would be able to blow this space station into space debris and kill everyone inside, even if they survived, after this they would definitely be hunted by the Great Noble on charges of murder or attempted murder, at that time they would really be hunted all over the galaxy.

  With these thoughts in her head, Sentria's common sense was momentarily stuck and her judgment was impaired.

  Unaware of what Jake was actually looking for, Sentria obediently took out a 3D hologram map of the ship in front of Jake.

  "Quickly tell me, where the magic circle is installed, Terra Humanis" Sentria urged Jake who immediately approached and stared at the map carefully.

  After a few seconds of looking at the map, Sentria began to feel uncomfortable, something was wrong here.

  "Terra humanis! Don't play around with me!" Sentria shouted impatiently, she could feel the mistake with her instinct.

  "Ah yes, I'm sorry" Jake said and smiled confidently, that's when Sentria knew, she had fallen into the Terra Humanis' plan.

  "Hey Arlain, Can you memorize this shit" Jake said to Arlain, but Arlain didn't answer but instead chanted his magic "Ultimate barrier!"

  A moment later with a loud metal sound, Sentria's sword hit the blue shield.

  "Uwah... I can't see her movement" Jake said with a stiff smile seeing the slash marks on the shield.

  "You're really stupid" Arlain said but his voice sounded really happy before chanting another magic "Explosion!!"

  "BOOOMMM!!!" with a huge explosion and light filling the surroundings, Sentria closed her helmet before being thrown back, while her subordinates fell into confusion and some were injured from the huge burst of fire, a moment later, Jake and Arlain had disappeared from where they were standing, focusing her Mana sense, Sentria who quickly regained her posture shouted.

  "They're behind!! Chase them no matter what!!"

  Behind the barricade, the automatic iron door that was the main door to the hangar had been forced open.

  As her subordinates got up and ran to chase the Terra Humanis who dared to deceive her, leaving only the predator robots that were too big to enter the ship's corridor.

  Sentria stood in the middle of the flames that burned the hangar before looking back, behind her, There the five Fighter jets had been burned and damaged, seeing Her beloved high-class fighter jets that her father gave her, had been badly damaged, Sentria holding her face angrily, Sentria felt an anger that she had never felt before boiling in her heart, she would definitely kill that Terra Humanis... no, that would be too easy, she would make him pay for daring to toy with her.

  "Terra Humanis!!!" With a blast of thruster from her armor's back, Sentria shot out with a killing intent that she had never had in her life...

  ####

  A few minutes later, Unbeknownst to anyone, the main cargo door of the hangar opened. But instead of Gordoban's subordinates boarding the ship, only Fain walked slowly into the hangar, her clothes soaked in blood while she casually hummed a tune.

  "Hm? Looks like there are some cute cats here" Fain said as the drone robots took a standby position for Fain's arrival, but Fain didn't even feel threatened by the robots.

  "... I can feel his presence, almost found him, but it seems he left again, even though I brought a nice gift for him" Fain spoke with a little disappointment different from his usual emotionless tone, before looking at the robots in front of her who had already loaded their weapons.

  "I guess I should go after him, Jake Carrack" In Fain's hand something fishy and dripping with blood swayed with her footsteps...

  Running with all his might, two people laughing out loud with a mixture of excitement, happiness, and nervousness.

  "turn left" Arlain said, before Jake crashed into another door with the shield protecting them both.

  "Ahhh!!! I can't believe we made it!" Jake said with a big smile while Arlain who was also smiling widely from behind his slime body replied "If all Terra Humanis were as crazy as you, who even needs magic!"

  With laughter echoing between the two, Arlain and Jake felt like junior high school kids who successfully pulled the biggest prank in school.
