Elsword fought many demons until he finally reached the chapel itself. He had many wounds, but he needed to save Rena.
"Well, well, Elsword ... You decided to come here ...", the voice of a female demon said. "Kizami! I knew it!", Elsword shouted. "You can stop calling me Kizami now that was just my cover! I am the Queen of demons! I am reborn, I am Karis!", she said and stepped out of the shadows. "Dammit!", the red-haired cursed and readied for a fight. "Pathetic human ... I won't be the one you'll fight! It'll be someone you know, someone you thought was dead!", Kizami, a.k.a. Karis said.
Suddenly Elsword heared Rena scream. He looked into the direction the scream came from and ran towards her. "Damn, why always Rena?! Do we have to kill all demons to finally get some peace?!", the red-haired thought.
As he arrived at the heart of underground chapel, he saw Rena. Her arms above her head; chained, her feet didn't even touch the ground and her shirt was ripped. The elf was scared, tears in her eyes as a hooded figure touched her, now naked, chest. "Stop it and let her go!", Elsword growled at the figure. It stopped and turned around to face Elsword.
These yellow eyes, the ones the knight saw last night. This face, it was Ravens. "R-Raven?!", the red-haired spat out. "A dying soul filled with hate, rescued and put into a demon's body ... This is what you see!", Karis said as she appeared right next to Raven.
Elsword wanted to hit her with his sword, but she stopped the blade with her bare hands. "Let's get rid of this annoying weapon.", Karis said and used some of her powers. The sword exploded, leaving only some shards. Some of the shards hit Elsword, some hit Raven. The floor was covered with big and small shards of the knight's sword. Elsword stared at the shards on the floor, than at the ones that hit him and pulled the shards out of his body. "Damn it ... How can I beat him and ... Karis ...", he thought. The knight tried to fight Raven without a weapon but it was no use.
The black-haired kicked at Elswords leg. The boy's leg broke and he fell to the ground, trying to hold back a scream. Raven grabbed one of the bigger shards and pinned the red-haired's arm to the ground.
Elsword stared at Raven. "Can't I do anything?! Chung and Elesis won't come here ... they have to fight other demons ... I am the only one that is here to save Rena! I have to get up!", the knight thought and looked at the elf. "Don't worry ... I will defeat him ... and I will save you! No matter what it might cost ... even if I die trying to save you ... I will save you!", he thought.
Elsword pulled the shard out of his arm. "Big enough to kill Raven again!", the knight noticed. The red-haired used the shard to stab Raven. "You little brat! You'll pay for this!", the demon growled. Elsword pushed the shard deeper into Raven's chest. "Die already!", he shouted and pushed the shard even deeper. The black-haired spat out blood and just stared at Elsword. "Go ahead ... finish it! ... Free my soul ... from this demon body!", Raven said. "You ... you didn't want to live?!", the knight asked pretty much shocked. "No ... first ... Seris died ... and I was forced ... to stay alive ... Rena ... she looks like Seris ... I wanted her ... but she loves you ... there's nothing I live for ... so hurry up and finally end my suffering!", the black-haired explained. "But why did you help Karis then?! Why did you do that to Rena, why did you fight me?!", Elsword asked angry. "Karis is the queen of demons ... she's a succubus ... I had no control over myself ... and even if you don't believe me ... please forgive ... and end my life ...", Raven begged. "I will kill you! But that does not mean I fogive you!", Elsword shouted as he pushed the shard deeper. He finally killed Raven.
The knight freed Rena once again. He took off his shirt and handed it to the elf. "Here ... Wear it ... it might be all bloody but at least you have something to wear now ...", Elsword said. Rena took his shirt, thanked him and put it on. "I ... I'm sorry this happened again ...", the green-haired apologized. "There no need to be sorry ... It's not your fault Karis revived Raven ...", the knight said with a slight smile. "But you got hurt again ...", Rena sobbed as she hugged Elsword, burying her head in his shoulder. "It's okay ... these wounds aren't deep ... they'll heal up fast.", the knight said, trying to comfort his wife.
"I ... We have to go back ... back to my father ... he wanted to see you as well ...", Rena said as she calmed down a little. "Alright ... We should tell Elesis and Chung what happened and that we both have to leave ... We can be at elven village tonight if we hurry up a little.", Elsword said. The elf nodded. Both of them left the chapel and hurried to get back to the village to tell Elesis and Chung everything.
"So ... we will leave again ... this is very important and we will come back as soon as possible.", Elsword said to his sister. Elesis nodded.
Only minutes later the knight and the elf left Velder to hurry back to the forest close to Ruben; of the two used a Nasod machine, to travel a lot faster.
In the evening both of them finally arrived at the elven village. Sentoki was already waiting for their arrival. Rena hugged her father as soon as she saw him and started to cry. "I am sorry ... I couldn't protect Karu ...", Sentoki said sad. "I know you had to protect the others ... And i know it's hard for you too ...", Rena replied brushing away her tears. Elsword looked sad at the ground.
"Your mother wanted you to live as an elf with full powers ... I'll give you your energy back. Karu wanted me to take the rest of her powers before she died ... so you don't have to worry about your husband ... he will live longer than any human when I use Karu's energy on him ...", Sentoki whispered into his daughters ear. Rena nodded.
"Leader! Some of the demons returned and attacked our people!", a elven warrior said as he ran towards the three. "Elsword would you help them please? I have to talk to Rena for a second ...", Sentoki asked. The knight nodded and followed that other elf to help them fight the demons; the red-haired went to fight even though his leg was broken, he knew they needed his help. "I'll give you your energy back ... You are going to faint ... but please don't fight for two days.", Rena's father said. She nodded and Sentoki started to give her her energy back. As he said she fainted.
Sentoki carried his daughter home and laid her on a bed. "Forgive me for what I am going to do ...", he whispered and left a note and a small table next to the bed. After that the leader of the elves searched for Elsword. The knight got hurt in the fight and some elves treated his wounds and his broken leg in some kind of hospital. It was just a very small house, big enough for five rooms. Sentoki sent the elves away and stood next to Elsword. "Sentoki ...? Where is Rena? Is she okay?", the human asked a weak. "She's fine don't worry ... I gave her her powers back ... and since my wife is dead ... I'll give you all my energy. You'll live as long as a elf ...", Sentoki explained. "Why give me all your energy? ... Wouldn't that ... be your death?", Elsword asked. "You're right ... one of my sons will take the place ... and I ... I will be united with my wife in the afterlife ... And now that Rena has her powers back ... I want you to live as long as she will live ...", the elf answered. "If I were you ... I would want to be united with my wife as well ... but ... I think she might wanted you ... to live on ...", the human replied. "I made my decision ... nothing will change my mind ... Goodbye then ... Elsword!", Sentoki said and started give the knight all his elven energy.
Minutes later Sentoki was dead and Elsword had the elf's energy. "I feel sorry ... for what he did ... for Rena ... now both her parents are dead ...", the red-haired thought.
