Chapter 33 - Chapter 33: Secret Sky City

Scene – Doramai School, Class First-B.Bun is teaching in front of the students.

Bun: So today, we'll learn about one of our most trusted allied kingdoms.

Precious (thinking): I was the one who created it, but still, it'll be fun to see what story the world believes.

Bun: Six years ago, deep inside the Green Land Jungle, there were many goblin villages. Then, one day, a goblin appeared who united all those villages into one. Not only that—he merged other races too, like bats, spiders, shapeshifters, dragonuets, dragons, and many others. The village became a single powerful city, and he named it "Secret Sky."That goblin's name was Goblin King Rantel. Later, he merged the Spirit Land and the Fairy Kingdom into Secret Sky too. That's how the Secret Sky City was formed.

Tame: Wow, that goblin must've been really powerful!

Nimi: Yeah! King Rantel gathered some of the strongest beings into Secret Sky!

Bun: That's how it was created. Now let's talk about its army. In Secret Sky, each race has its own army — the Spider Army, Dragon Army, Goblin Army, and so on.All of them are commanded by a single goblin general, Grass, who oversees the full military.There's also the Dragon Princess, also known as the Dragon Leader, who leads the dragons — she was the same one who fought during the Primordial Black vs Shin Kingdom war.Next, there's Fairy King Pluto's army, led by his personal commander, and Spirit Queen Shanti's army, also with its own leader.And lastly, Primordial Black's Black Army, which General Grass doesn't control — that one is led by Primordial Black's first power, "Black."If we count all the forces together, I'd say Secret Sky has around three hundred thousand soldiers in total. That's the strength of Secret Sky — each army is incredibly powerful.

Shai: So even if we remove the Spirit and Fairy armies, the Primordial Black's army alone is terrifyingly strong.

Scene – A little later, during lunch break.Everyone is walking around outside.Nimi is walking through the school building when a teacher calls out to her.

Teacher: Hey, kiddo, can you help me for a second?

Nimi: Yes?

Teacher: Could you put these boxes in the storage room for me?

Nimi: Okay, sure.

She takes the boxes and walks downstairs until she stops in front of a room.

Nimi: Here it is—the storage room. There are so many weird items in here… better drop these boxes quietly and get out fast.

She enters the room. Upstairs, we see Shai, who notices Nimi entering the storage room.

Scene – Inside the storage room.The room is filled with swords, shields, and all kinds of strange items—creepy dolls, tiny trees, and carpets with mysterious patterns.

Nimi: Whoa… there's so much stuff here.

She sets the boxes down carelessly and turns to leave, but her foot hits a doll lying on the floor.

Nimi: Ah! Oh… a doll?

She bends to pick it up, but as soon as she touches it, the doll's eyes begin to glow red.

Nimi: !

The temperature drops suddenly, and the room shifts into a red-colored space — a strange domain.

Meanwhile, Shai, who entered the room, gets pulled into the same domain.

Shai: Huh?!

The doll's head suddenly twists creepily and starts laughing.

Doll: Hee-hee-hee-hee…

Nimi: What?!

She throws the doll away, but it stands upright again.

Doll: Hihihihihi!

Nimi: W… who are you?!

Doll: I am Achar.

Nimi: Why are you here?

Achar: The principal of Doramai School sealed me inside this place.

Nimi: Then how did you get free?

Achar: Only the principal or someone from his family could break the seal… which means you must be from that bloodline! Hihihihi!

Nimi: !

Achar: I'll take my revenge… on you!

Nimi: tsk! Hmm… smirks Let's see who's stronger then.

Achar: Four Hands!

Four floating hands appear around Achar, suspended in the air.

Nimi: God of Thunder—THUNDER BLADE!

Light gathers around Nimi's hands, and she hurls it toward Achar.But one of the floating hands blocks the attack.

Achar: Hihihi! Such weak magic can't even scratch my hands!

Nimi: !

Achar: Red Rod!

A red glowing rod appears and shoots straight at Nimi, striking her hard.

Achar: Hihihi! Game over.

But suddenly, Nimi appears behind her.

Achar: What?!

The Nimi in front of her fades—it was only an illusion!

Nimi: Hell Bound: Havala!

A fiery wind filled with burning particles swirls around and slams into Achar.

Achar: Agh!! Aahh!!

Her head droops… then suddenly jerks up again.

Achar: JUST KIDDING!

Nimi: Wh-what?!

Achar: Doll Prison!

A giant doll appears behind Nimi; its front opens, and two massive hands grab Nimi, pulling her inside.But the hands are suddenly sliced apart!

Nimi & Achar: ?!

The attack came from Shai!

Shai: Are you okay, Nimi?

Nimi: S… Shai?

Shai: Hey you, doll — how dare you touch my friend!

Nimi: B-but how did you enter this domain?!

Shai: Well, I saw you going into the storage room. I figured it wasn't just any normal place — weird stuff is stored there, so I followed you just in case.After all, it's a classmate's responsibility to protect another classmate.

Nimi: S… Shai… (blushing softly)

Achar: Hahahaha! What a sweet story. Anyway, kid—you're going to die here!

Shai: Oh? Let's see about that.

He draws his sword, Demander.

Shai: Air Slice!

With one clean swing, he slices Achar's body in half.

Achar: A-aah?! H-how?!

She's still alive, but can't regenerate.

Shai: So you're still breathing, huh? Looks like you don't have any regeneration skills.

Achar: Damn you!!

She sends her four remaining hands flying toward him, but Shai easily cuts them all down.

Achar: Ahh?!

Shai: Now it's your turn.

He slashes her into many tiny pieces, then traps her remains inside a box. The domain collapses, returning everything to normal.

Shai: I'll bury this thing underground later.By the way, are you okay, Nimi?

Nimi: Y-yes… (blushing softly)
