Altera Core
A battle was undergoing at the Altera Core. This battle was between the Alliance of Ponggos, Humans, Elves and some Nasods against an army of tainted Nasods.
The two armies clashed against each other. Everywhere there were screams, curses and cries. Arrows and balls of magic flew from the side of the alliance while lasers and electric balls flow from the Tainted Nasods. At first the armies were in a stalemate up until the arrival of the Nasod King. Due to his massive size and great power he was able to flung away squads with ease leaving the alliance into disarray. In a short strategic meeting, the leaders decided to charge into the heart of the Tainted Nasod army. They believed it was best strategy at the moment and performed it splendidly. They managed to disperse the battalions of Tainted Nasods and reached the Nasod King.
"Black Hole!"
Eve shouted sonorously shouted and a black hole appeared in the middle of the guards of the Nasod King sucking them all in leaving the Nasod King unguarded, suddenly the Ignis and Leviathan managed to crawl out of the hole before Eve imploded it. Seeing the chance both of them channelled their energies and made the sky rain giant blocks of Ice and meteors. Eve managed to avoid it and she then flew high up into the sky before landing beside Rena.
"Eve! I Need your help over here!" Elsword shouted while parrying the Large hand of the Nasod King with his Armageddon Blade"
"I'm coming!" She said
"Gungnir!"
Rena the shot an arrow to the sky, moments later eight giant arrows came falling down towards Ignis which then created tornadoes ripping apart the Nasod.
Raven then ran towards Leviathan after destroying the Crow Rider shooting 70 blasts of heat towards Leviathan annihilating the him from existence.
"Aisha! Are you still not ready!?" Elsword shouted
"Shields are Failing. Requesting back-up" Eve said with crackles of lightning around her
"Ice, Fire, Lightning, heed my call and Unleash you fury! Elemental Storm!"
As Aisha shouted, the entire sky darkened giant spikes of Ice formed around her destroying the Armor of the Nasod King revealing his core in the open.
"W-wha!? What is this power?" He thunderously said
"It's not over yet! Hayaaa!"
The Nasod King moved his giant arm to protect his core from the lightning .
"Oh no you don't, Armageddon blade! Spiral Blast!"
A giant wave suddenly prevented the arm of the Nasod King from protecting his core and then almost in sink Lightning then went in and Striked the core. Aisha then used spatial magic to blink inside the Nasod King and then created a giant vortex of fire creating whirlwinds and shaking the earth defeating the Nasod King.
What remained from the Nasod King was a giant Shard of Dark Eldrit with a length of 250 meters. Looking shocked, Echo then ran towards Elsword and the rest shakily speaking.
"Guys, that giant shard of Dark Eldrit is shining dangerously!"
"Energy, peaking at irregular intervals" Eve mechanically said
"What!? What's going on?"
"In about 2 minutes and 30 seconds, that shard will explode with a diameter of 2 kilometres" Eve replied
"Huh!? What Did you say!?" Elsword said questioned
"Have the army retreat immediately, all the Tainted Nasods have already been confirmed to have been deactivated. We had won this battle, but it's too early to celebrate yet!"
"Affirmative!" "Okay!" Elsword and Eve simultaneously said
"Wait! Everybody I have something Important to tell you!" Rena stopped the gang but had let the army retreat leaving them behind.
"Once that shard explodes, Dark energy will destroy this land an render the island infertile for the next 80 years. Demons will ran amok and make this their breeding ground!"
""""What!?"""" Everybody except Rena exclaimed.
From the side Echo then said to the gang.
"Yes, it may render the floating Island inhabitable so our only choice is to abandon this island and have the Ponggos relocate to the ground below.
"I see" Elsword said begrudgingly and tightened his fist and agreed in frustration
Aisha
I felt a bit dizzy and fatigued for casting that great magic leaving me almost devoid of El mana.
I could only understand bits of pieces from what they were talking about. The only things I could understand where Dark Eldrit Shard, Explosion and inhabitable.
From there I concluded it to be dangerous and stared at the giant Dark Eldrit Shard. I then remembered a spell from a grimoire of dark magic about taking in mana from the objects in the environment. I then then looked at Eve and said to her telepathically.
I'm going to suck the mana from that thing dry to prevent the explosion. So please help them if I won't be able to return.
I pleaded to her.
I don't agree with your course of action.
Eve worriedly tried to stop me
Please, it's the only way to protect your home and the Ponggos. So I'm counting on you.
With that said I quickly cut off the line and then pushed Elsword from the back making him fall head first.
"Let's just quickly get out of here! Eldork, is your small brain still trying to comprehend this situation!?"
"Gaaah! Hey grape! I know already, but the Ponggos will lose their home if we don't do anything!" Elsword screamed
"it's only temporary, and have you forgotten that Eve will be able to help the Ponggos 80 years from now, since that already plenty of time to let her rebuild her Nasod Kingdom back to it's former glory, though we won't be there to help her, I'm sure she'll be able to do something since we already know how powerful she is or you don't believe in her power to drive the demons out of here?"
"Okay, okay. I believe in her, I mean she's my friend and that I already know about her power so just shut up and stop lecturing already grape"
After saying that, Elsword then turned his back and began to run with Rena giggling beside him along with Raven, Echo and Eve.
Sorry.
I spoke those words low enough that no one would be able to hear them besides me and then blinked towards the giant Dark Eldrit shard leaving behind an illusion of me running behind them.
I then started to focus my will and tapped into the darkness inside of me and started to take in the energies of the shard in front of me.
Madness, Hatred, Grudges and Fear started to grip my very being and I felt so much pained that I was unable to hold my scream.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHH!"
The pain was so intense that getting stabbed felt like a pinch in the cheek if compared to this. I started coughing out blood and felt an ominous aura starting to surround me and then I heard a voice from within the darkness.
Human you interest me, I haven't been interested in another human since 500 years ago. From the things going on here, if you continue on doing this you won't be able to stop the explosion and will only die a futile death. Say do you want power? Do you want an unlimited source of power able to stop this situation with ease?
From the voice I quickly concluded that he was a demon. Leaving me no choice I swallowed down a mouthful of blood and saliva before mustering an answering in my mind withstanding the excruciating pain.
Y-yes! I want power!? Enough power to protect this place!
Hahahahah! Very well human. From this day forth you hall be the Princess of Darkness! The Void Princess! You shall rule the demons that crawl and lurk in the shadows of the Demon World! Know this Human your soul is no contracted to me, Angkor! The Great Phantom King of Demons! I amd the Demon Lord of the Shadow Demons!
With that said I suddenly fell down from the sky and was caught by Elsword before hitting the ground. With a stupid face he then said to me with a sour look on his face.
"YOU IDIOTIC GRAPE! WHY"D YOU TRY TO SACRIFICE YOURSELF!"
"I WON'T ALLOW IT! I WON'T, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY! I'M YOUR COMRADE, YOUR FRIEND! I! I HAVE ALREADY…"
I then limply raised my right hand and tried to caress the hair of Elsword then said
"Idiot…. I… I won't die… s-simply from this" I then heard Angkor say
Human the preparation for the contract is complete, as a repercussion for the contract your body will regress in age by 4 years. Know these three conditions I will give you for this contract, First you shall wear the clothes I have prepared for you and second your are not allowed to leave by my side and third you shall be living in the demon world for 1 year to learn about demon magic and the dark arts.
After saying that, I then felt a surge of Dark El flow to my body and an oddly shaped bat appear from a portal blowing away Elsword and the process.
"For now Princess, I shall heal you fatigued body and assist you in eating this Eldrit Shard, I am a spectre of Angkor and shall appear in this form from now on"
A dark aura then surrounded me and I saw Elsword look my way with a dumb look on his face. I then felt my body becoming lighter and my energy coming back to me.
"I have now finished you're healing Princess, with this you are now able to eat that shard with ease."
Eat? I think he's saying that I am now able to suck the energies from the giant shard beside me. I then flew up again and started to suck the energies from the crystal.
Compared to the last time, this time it was a lot easier and instead of pain, my body felt as if my hunger was satiated. I felt that I can still suck the energies at a stronger rate, I increase the amount of draining to its maximum.
Within a few moments I was able to stop the shard from exploding and then I landed beside Elsword punching him in the gut in the process.
"Idiot! Why'd you come back!? You really are stupid if you think I won't be able to do something about the situation! I'll have you know, I was once known as the prodigal magician who was already the best of the best when I was still at the age of 12"
Shocked, Elsword then closed in on me then said.
"Did you just become shorter? Grape?"
W-what!?
"A-Angkor, why is my body shorter" I then raised a question to the bat, which is kinda cute, resting on my head.
"Princess, I have already told you that your body will regress by 4 years of age which means as of now, your body is that of a 14 year old teen." He quickly replied with ease
I then see the familiar smirk form from the red haired knight in front of me before saying
"So, does this mean I'm technically older than grape now?" He mischievously asked the bat
"Yes, technically that is so"
His smirk becoming more conspicuous then yelled to the others.
"Hey! Everyone, Aisha became younger! So I'm now older than Her!"
Saying that I then saw Rena and Raven stare at me while I saw Eve and Echo looking at me as if I'm some sort of object to experiment.
This is bad, I gotta get outta here.
Rena then exclaimed!
"Aisha! You're sooo cute! I can't believe you're so cute!
Eve the said
"I am reading immeasurable amount of Dark El power radiating from Aisha, this is a cause of concern cause this amount can kill a human within seconds. Strangely enough, I don't see symptoms of Mana Overload or Dark El poisoning from her body"
Echo then said.
"Oooh, what a great magic! Aisha is now shorter than me!"
Elsword then rudely patted my head and said to the indifferent Raven
"Isn't she short? Right Raven? She became much shorter now! Hahahahah!"
The then punched Elsword in the face and said.
"Eldork!"
After that we then slowly walked to the allied army only to get hostile gazes from the Ponggos, Humans and Elves. They became cautious then said
"A demon is here!? Kill the Demon."
"Look, she emenating Dark El Energies from her body!"
Elsword then said to the army
"Everyone, she's the one who stopped the explosion!"
"She is already corrupted with Dark El"
The army then started to charge towards me.
Feeling disappointed I then created a mass of pure Dark El mana to shield me from any attacks.
Elsword and the rest tried to stop them but were instead pinned down by the others. Beside me Angkor then said
"Princess, this place has become hostile, I think its about time for you to go to the Demon world and train there"
I almost forgot about the conditions, I then reflected on what to do before saying to the gang.
"Everyone, it has been fun travelling with you, but as you can see I've already become tainted with Dark El so I can't come with you any longer!"
"With this I'm going to say goodbye to, I hope fate will bring us together again."
With tears falling down from my eyes, a spear managed to penetrate through the shield and scratched my cheek making blood fall down.
Angkor the said:
"Then I shall transport you to the demon world"
Taking my last look at everybody and Elsword, I then nodded towards Angkor
With that, Angkor's mouth then spewed out a mass of dark Aura then opened a portal leading to the demon world tearing me away from the people whom I cared for before screaming.
"GOODBYE EVERYONE!"
I then threw away the ring which was given to me by Elsword and the rest to the ground.
(Well that's it for now, hope you like it. :3 gonna update this again if I have time. Next chapter will be about the rest of the El gang after Aisha left to the demon realm)
