Elsword was impatient to arrive in Bethma. He looked out of the wagon observing the landscape, the green of Reuben was gone for a while, they had passed Elder recently and finally appear the first rocks and cactus, typical of Bethma. Elsword was agitated, still smiling waving the sword inside the wagon, threatening to hit more than once Aisha.
During the journey Lowe had explained what was going on there. How Stella had found Allegro and what they had talked about during the night.
Lowe did not know the real situation of Feita, but by the words of Allegro, he could tell that it was a bad situation.
"There is nothing to worry about. We are El Search Party, the demons do not scare us, we will free place in an instant. Hahaha! "
Stonck!
Aisha had just hit Elsword head with the stick.
"Hey brat, what are you doing ?!"
"Calm down! You're making me nervous! "
"What you're saying ?!"
"Stop to take it so easily! You've never faced a demon before! "
"Just hit with my sword!"
" See? You do not understand anything !"
"Come on you two, stop fighting."
Rena smiles trying to calm them down.
The two began to argue. Raven sighed watching the scene, they were just two brats. Raven crossed his arms, focusing his eyes on Eve. The Nasod. It was very clear, he was against her, he don't want her to come with them, but Elsword did not listen to him, that boy was too naive.
Raven was worried. Not only would have to keep an eye on that infernal machine called Eve, but even about the trip, Feita, in the Kingdom of Velder, his hometown, they all knew him there. He is known as the Captain of the Crow Mercenary Knights and as a criminal, he wondered if even Feita knew of his past.
He closed his eyes thoughtfully. In one way or another once set foot in the Kingdom of Velder he would have to come to terms with his past.
As if the situation with that Nasod was not already heavy enough.
Elsword and Aisha continued to argue, Rena got up, moving close the two of them. Firmly grabbed their heads and forcibly made them collide. Forehead to forehead.
"What? Rena No no! "
"AIHA!"
"I told you to stop fighting."
The elf sat up as if it were nothing, while Aisha and Elsword were unconscious.
"At least now they will be good until we get to Bethma."
Raven snickered.
Eve was sitting near Rena and said nothing about it, she realized that in the hierarchy Rena was on top of Elsword and Aisha, then do not contradict her.
The Nasod however was curious and wanted to know more about the place.
"Rena. I need more details about this place called Feita, in my archive there is little information. "
Rena smiled, she think Eve was very cute. She's very awkward with emotions but she try to express in her own way. Felt curiosity and tried to learn.
"Feita is a place, near to the Kingdom of Velder."
Rena explained, even she not knew a lot actually.
"I've never seen Feita before, you Raven? Know something? "
Raven snorted, crossing his arms.
" The area is almost completely deserted, except for that temple called Temple Feita. People go there to pray, is a useless place, there are only fools to pray. "
Raven was not a religious one. Not explained to them almost nothing. He glare at Eve.
"What you need to know these things, Nasod?"
Responds annoyed.
"Come on Raven she just wanted to know something more. '
"She should not even be here."
Eve set her eyes on Raven, staring intently, did not understand why that human was so hostile towards her.
" You don't like me?"
"Of course not. You're just a machine without emotions. Do not have anything human, you're just dangerous! "
"Raven ..."
Eve lowered her head, in some way seemed to be sad. Rena put a hand on her shoulder trying to cheer her up, but Raven did not care, for him, that Eve should have been destroyed since the beginning.
Passed some time and finally they arrived at Bethma.
"We have arrived!"
Lowe comes down off the wagon, followed by Raven, Rena and Eve. Elsword and Aisha with headache, surely because of the blow received by Rena.
At the entrance of the city there were Stella and Allegro. The Secretary of Feita was fine. Seeing Stella Elsword ran to her impatiently.
"So? Where is the man of Feita? Where Is That? Where Is That? "
Elsword wanted to immediately leave for Peita! Elsword starts spinning around the entrance of the village, looking behind the rocks, behind the cactus, among the stones. Allegro smiling, so those were the persons Stella had spoken.
The man with hair blacks seemed to be very strong, as well as the elf, if Stella had told him that he could trust them would.
Elsword finished look and walked over to the sheriff, sulking.
"So where is he?"
"E-uh ... I…It's me..."
Allegro raised his hand, smiling. Elsword looked unconvinced.
"You? You would be the man of Feita? But you're just a little ki ... Ouch! "
He did not finish the sentence and Rena punch him. Smiling.
"Nice to meet you."
Smiles, Elsword touched his aching head and Aisha laughed.
"Hello Rena, Aisha. I do not know the guys there. New friends? "
Eve nodded.
"I am Eve."
Eve said. Stella watched the face of Eve, what was that crystal on her head? But did not think too much, looking then Raven.
"Raven."
He said, annoyed.
"Well, let's talk."
The woman introduced Allegro.
"This is Allegro, the secretary of Feita. The request comes from him. "
"Hello There."
"You do not mind me accepting His request for you, do you? Haha! Go, and make Those Demons regret what they've done! "
Elsword recovered and walked near Allegro.
"So really YOU are from Feita! Ah! Do not worry I will manage to defeat those demons! "
Allegro smiled, those guys were a bit 'strange but seemed reliable.
"Thank you for coming It's going to be a tough fight, but I have great faith in you."
Maybe it was more despair ...
The chariot of COBO resumed his journey, this time to Feita. Lowe was left on Bethma, but even he would be leaving soon. Stella had greeted them and wished good luck. So now the El Search Party heads for Feita.
Through the Pilgrim's Gateway. Elsword looked Allegro, wanted to know more.
"You're not a soldier, right?"
"No. Absolutely not! I'm just a secretary! "
Elsword had understood from the beginning that this was not a warrior, was enough to look at his face!
"Not all of the warriors are mindless Elsword like you."
She laughed.
"Maybe he has some magical power."
"No. I'm just a secretary. "
"Oh ... then you're useless."
"Ehehe ..."
Poor Allegro ...
"You two ... shut up! Rude! "
Rena scolds both.
"What happened exactly Allegro?"
Allegro shook his head.
"I do not really know either. Everything was normal until a few days ago. Then at night we heard howls coming from the Altar of Dedication, we rushed there and saw what was there. A group of demons had appeared, small and great soldiers who were there tried to attack but were routed in the least. We had to withdraw, leaving the temple at the mercy of the demons and now we camped near the area. The problem is that demons are pushing ever forward, if they continue to advance we will not be able to fight them off. "
Allegro tried to explain the situation as best he could, making use of all his memories, Lento had sent him to Bethma, hope they could help them, but is not the only reason. Allegro realized that he wanted to keep him away from the battlefield if things went wrong.
He clenched his fists. Dropping his head, just sobbing.
"Still those guys are right, lady elf. I am really useless. "
If he had been a soldier would take his sword and would fight at the side of Lento, if it had been a magician would do the same, but he was just ... the secretary.
Elsword watched him for a few moments. With a bored expression. He walked quickly to the young man and mercilessly punched him on the head.
"Oh!"
"Each of us must do what we can do. You're not a hero like me, but if it was not for you we would not be here now. You did your job. Now we'll do ours, we will set free your land! "
Elsword don't like that attitude, of those who gave already defeated. Would demonstrate that boy that without him there would be no miracle possible. The El Search Party will defeat the demons for sure!
"O-okay ..."
The crossing was rather slow, COBO's chariot was forced to slow down more than once because of the sudden change of weather.
Since he had set foot in Feita the sun was gone, the sky was filled with dark clouds, the green had reappeared but very different from that of Ruben. Elsword and Aisha looked at the landscape, was desolate.
"So is this Feita?"
"Yeah."
There was no sign of people or any of the demons Allegro had spoken. Eve looked over the scene, in turn, looking forward.
"Over there."
Elsword and Aisha went to look at the point indicated by Eve. What they saw were tents, a camp, some people here and there, soldiers. Many of these were on the ground, sitting, looked tired. There was no sign of joy, as if the dark sky had sucked all the joy in the air.
Shortly after the chariot stopped, Elsword jumped off running toward the camp.
COBO's chariots had attracted the attention of one of the soldiers, a man with black hair and great sword with him.
"Hey. If you are visiting the temple you should go back. We are under attack, this is not a place for children. "
"I know that you are under attack and I'm here for this!"
Elsword replied angrily to the knight.
"Child, there is nothing to joke about. Go home. "
"I am Elsword! Member of the El Search Party! Watch your mouth or I'll give you a lesson! "
The knight snorted bored, while Elsword pulled out his sword.
"This is not the place to play, get out..."
"Lento!"
Allegro interrupt that conversation, the boy had just arrived, followed by the rest of the guys, Lento gave up and went to meet his friend.
Puts hand on Allegro shoulders making sure he was all right.
"Allegro what are you doing here ?! I told you to stay in Bethma after asking their help. "
"I could not stay safe while you were here to fight for Feita."
Lento spoke in a worried voice, looking at them you could say that Lento was the brother of Allegro, cared for him and his safety.
"I brought some friends, they will help us defeat the demons!"
Lento shifted his gaze on the El Search Party members. Lento was not at all convinced, just Raven seems to be strong, but the others did not seem to be anything reliable, especially the girl purple-haired and red-haired brat.
"Haha! What did I tell you? I'm here to defeat the demons! My name is Elsword see to learn the name of who will save you. "
Elsword spoke proudly, Lento does not even answer him, from his point of view, that was just a little boy with the syndrome hero.
"Allegro ..."
"Do not be fooled by their appearance! They are very strong! They defeated King Nasod and recovered the Ruben Eldrit! They will definitely help Feita! "
Allegro had faith in these guys, but Lento was not convinced. He ignored Elsword and spoke to Raven, who among all gave the impression of being the most reliable one ...
"What is your name?"
"I am Raven."
"Rena. I am an elf. "
"Eve."
"I am Aisha and I am a witch."
"And now ..."
He did not even finish Elsword speaking when shooting.
"Listen Raven, here there is a real war going on, are you sure these kids are useful?"
Raven crossed his arms.
"This question does not have to do it to me, but to our leader."
He pointed Elsword, still angry about how he was treated by Lento.
"Yeah! I am the leader! I say that we will succeed! "
Elsword shouted offended.
Lento shook his head, Allegro what you had done?
The guy with the glasses took Lento's hands, he understood that the knight did not trust those guys.
"It's going to be a tough fight, but I have great faith in all of them. Lento, trust them too. "
Allegro looked straight into his eyes, as if to trasmit him all his faith, Lento sighed, would give him a chance.
"Let's see what they do."
Lento led the group to his tent, where some soldiers were guarding, that Lento had to have been appointed head of the camp's why you gave all those tunes thought Elsword. Allegro Lento explained to what had happened to Bethma as they walked, so for him to understand the situation better. Lento nodded.
Once all were in the tent Lento taken place to a chair, there was a table and on a map of Feita, Rena and Eve were the first to look at the map. They were marked with some names and there were various signs above. Raven took place, as well as Aisha and Elsword while Allegro sat near Lento.
"I am Lento, the Knight of Feita."
Will officially present.
"I'll brief you on the situation. People used to worship the Lady of El at this Shrine of Dedication, before the El Explosion."
He explained shortly what had Feita. Everyone in the world knew the story of the Lady of El, and the explosion of the division at the El. It was something that had happened many years before and had made the world the place that was today.
"Now it's fallen into the hands of the Demons. I do not even want to imagine what those are doing inside our holy shrine! We must secure an advance route to enter the Shrine of Dedication. To do this we must liberate the entry. That's your job. "
All looked Lento, particularly Elsword.
"Think you can defeat the demons at the entrance?"
Elsword smiled mockingly.
"Haha! I eat them for breakfast! Let me show you what a kid can do! "
Rena smiled amused, it was fun to see how Elsword be angry for these things, Lento had underestimated and he wanted to show him what he can do, as an hero.
"Always give the show ..."
Aisha protested putting a hand on the forehead, never once be quiet.
"We Will See."
Lento left the tent followed by the boys.
As soon as they were out someone called them.
"GUYS!"
A girl dressed in clothes typical of COBO ran to meet them, was blonde with big blue eyes, it was Ariel.
"Ariel ?! Even you here ?! "
Elsword was surprised to see her.
"I understand that you want to take care of the demons, I could not come to assist. I've got something for you. "
The girl pulled out of potions that he distributed to all.
"I hope you will help during the mission. I count on you to free Feita! "
She smiles, Ariel already knew them knew that if anyone could liberate Feita, those were the guys at the El Search Party.
"Well now, and follow me. Allegro. You'll stay here in Feita. "
"But I ..."
"Allegro I need someone to control the situation at the camp while there are. You're the only one I trust. "
Allegro nodded sadly.
"Okay ... I'll wait here. "
Lento smiled after which they set out.
Lento led them along a road, at the end of the road there was a gate, the more they approached the gate plus the number of soldiers increased. Eve was the first to perceive something.
"I feel the presence of a large number of enemies after that gate."
"Exactly Eve. After that gate there are demons. "
Lento confirmed.
Arrived in front of the gate Lento told the soldiers to open, the men began to work and Lento turned to the group.
"From here we can't go back, if you wanna quit say it now."
"Stop talking and open up!"
The soldiers opened the gate and the guys crossed the threshold. The road in front of them was all tiled brick, the road was a kind of spiral that turned to go back to the great temple, Elsword drew his sword and prepared to fight, Lento was next to him, as well as Raven. Behind Aisha, Eve and Rena.
"Look!"
Lento said pointing forward, a group of armored demons was about forty feet from them, but still did not realize the group.
"Well, it's time! Attack guys! "
Elsword ran forward brandishing his sword.
"Wait, stupid!"
Lento yelled.
"What an idiot we could surprise them!"
Aisha protested!
"After him!"
Rena began to run followed by Lento, all moved to reach Elsword. The Sword Knight ran the first of demons, a Spearman Glitter! Elsword slashes once the demon then charges on and pushes him back!
"Mad Charge!"
Elsword Which knocks back enemies, dragging not only the first but also two other Glitter Spearman behind him!
"A joke!"
"Idiot behind you!"
A Glitter Defender was running against Elsword uploading with his shield! While a two Glitter Archers were about to strike. Before the Defender could reach Elsword, Raven blew up then he dives down, slams the enemy into the ground!
Meanwhile Rena gains four arrows, two for the enemy, hitting them in the face! The enemies went to the ground.
Elsword lifted his sword in victory.
"This is the power of El Search Party!"
Exulted looking toward Lento. Suddenly a Stone Golem popped out from behind a column, raising his arms ready to hit the Sword Kinghit.
"Get out of there!"
Elsword turned away, but Aisha was faster, Aisha instantly moves near Elsword, raising her wand.
"Binding Circle!"
Aisha disables the movement of the Stone Golem, who stood with his arms raised, Elsword smiled, Strike hard on the ground to create a pillar of fire that struck the Golem killing him.
"Hahaha! here's no other swordsman as tough as me! "
Elsword started laughing and Aisha struck him with her wand.
"Stupid!"
"Ouch! But what do you want? Are they dead? "
"That's not the point!"
Lento sighed, had managed to knock some demons, but it was still feasting, that seemed more luck than skill.
"Pay attention child. More and more awaits for us, more stronger, you can not make similar mistakes. If it was not for your friend you would have been hurt. "
Aisha laughed, Elsword instead snorted. Sermons, always preaching.
Eve lifted her head up, felt the presence of a large number of enemies, but did not see, its data could not be wrong, but in front of them now the road was clear.
"I feel it too, Eve?"
Eve turned to Rena.
"The energy of the earth is disturbed, here there are many enemies, yet we do not see."
"Affirmative."
"We pay attention from now on."
Eve nodded to the words elf.
Lento going on followed by Elsword. He would be open to the row. Continued for several hundred meters, but no new enemy showed. As if the demons were withdrawn.
Lento was on alert did not trust that calm.
"There's something wrong. The first entry was full of demons and now instead ... "
"Ah! They will be scared to see me! "
"Do not be silly. There must be something ... "
Rena and Eve were restless, both felt the presence of many enemies, but there was no shadow of a demon them. Rena was looking to come back, but nothing.
Sensors Eve sensed something and ...
"Look! Up!"
Eve warned her companions of the danger, above them the demons were stationed on the columns and were about to pull boulders against the group! Here is where were the demons!
"Get out of here!"
Raven yelled realizing the danger.
"Follow me boys!"
Lento led the group towards the end of the road, however the demons poking out from both sides of the road, the Glitter Spearman mercilessly threw rocks at the group!
One of the stones crashed to the ground very close to Elsword that ran like a madman.
"Move!"
Glitters threw, they had closed the road at the back of the group, impendendo them to go back, Lento wanted to guide them to a maze but before he could take the road that he knew the demons had begun to pull boulders, closing the street!
"Damn it here where were those demons! They set a trap! "
"I do not think talking to run!"
Another Stone Golem appeared out of nowhere, jumping down from one of the columns! Straight on Raven. Eve called Levy and Moby to accelerate and pushed Raven.
"Nasod !?"
"Oberon!"
Before the Stone Golem could crush Raven, Eve had started in the middle, evoking the servant Nasod, Oberon!
Oberon created a protective shield that pushes the enemy back, saving Raven. Aisha was sick of all those flying stones.
"Binding Circle!"
Thanks to its magic sorceress managed to block in midair lle falling stones, just in time to allow the group to pass.
"Now I'll take! Guided Arrow! "
Rena shoots three magical arrows That will chase demons on the pillar, The Glitter Spearman were hit in full and fell back, but it was not enough, as soon as they were dying, other demons took their place.
"What ?!"
Rena could not believe.
"No matter how many glitters we take down! Demons just keep coming like zombies! I think there are some Domens casting necromancy to control this! "
Aisha shouted desperate!
"Could not you tell us before ?!"
"We go in there!"
Lento struck a heavy wooden door, splitting it, the group ran inside, leaving behind a trail debris.
Aisha sat on the ground exhausted.
"Pant, pant, pant ... ... what a run."
They were in a room apparently closed without another exit, only rubble, the demons drew them there on purpose. It was a dead end.
Everyone was tired for the race. They were not even entered and already had been cornered.
"I told you that this was not a job for the children."
While Lento spoke a strange noise began to invade the room, but it was not clear where he was coming.
"What's that noise?"
Aisha was frightened and backed putting back Rena. The noise continued and grew stronger.
"Oh! Look! "
A creature of metal was emerging from under the rubble of the pillars collapsed. Rena gestured to the others what he had seen. Raven got in the guard position, as well as Elsword and Slow.
"Damn, we're in trouble."
"What do you mean?"
"What is The one that's guarding the shrine entrance. Durahan Knight! "
"What would it be?"
Asked Raven.
"A headless knight That demonic attacks With its shield and sword! No One Has Been Able to pierce through His thick armor and the huge shield. Many of our soldiers died in an attempt to destroy it. "
Lento lifted the weapon.
"That's why we have drawn in here. They want him to kill us. "
Lento came forward.
"Stand back. This is not like the Glitters we've faced so far. "
Elsword shook his head. He would not let that Lento fight alone, so he would also shown what he could do!
"I will not leave alone to fight!"
Without thinking the Sword Knight lunged forward, jump overhead, knocking down His targets. But before he could hit Dullahan Knight lifted his great shield defending himself from the blow of Elsword.
"Wah!"
Dullahan Kinght spoke.
"Invaders ?!"
"E-eh ?! That thing can also talk !? "
"Is a demon! Not a stone! "
Dullahan Knight rejected Elsword sending him flying towards Aisha and Eve.
"No no no!"
Eve was taken in the arm by Oberon who saved her, while Aisha was taken in full by the fall of Elsword!
"Dumbass ..."
"Shut up ugly!"
Lento came between the boys and the Dullahan Kinght. The knight knew that the fight would have been hard, but could not escape. He had to fight. With rapid movements of the rider rides on the side of the demon, unleashing a blow to his legs, but the sword of Slow impact against the armor of the demon, was too strong to be scratched!
Lento jumped back, making a feint, lunged forward, jumping over a pile of stones, bringing behind Dullahan Knight, Slow wanted to avoid the shield and hit behind, hoping that they would be less resistant armor.
Nothing to do!
Lento down quickly slash His sword three times against the back of the demon, but nothing.
"Give up!"
With a quick movement the Dullahn Kinght whirled, will stab Lento With His sword. The knight fell to the ground, wounded.
"Ugh!"
"Lento!"
Suddenly a rain of arrows fell down from the sky, Lento could barely use his sword to deflect them before they could strike.
"Damn! Look up there! "
Rena pointed to a platform on which they appeared three Glitters Archers, they were ready to shoot their arrows against the group.
"I'll take care of them. You guys take charge of that beast! "
That said Rena fires four arrows Rapidly, they hit right in one of the three Glitters. Now that Rena was occupying the archers could do was take care of their leader.
"I'm analyzing that armor."
Eve speak. The display of Nasod materialized in front of her, was studying the Dullahan Kinght, so she can help her friends to fight it.
"I'll find his weak point."
Elsword stood up, Raven tried to hit the demon. Raven summons three metal spikes from the ground, pointing to the legs of the demon.
"Useless!"
With one shot the Dullahan Knghit tore the spikes. Lento had recovered and was back on guard.
The Dullahan however had sensed something, soon he will summon six blades rising against the three swords, they took to the side to avoid the blow.
The demon took advantage! Dullahan will run across the stage while using ITS shield to knock anybody along it's path! That someone was Eve and Aisha!
Aisha teleported away before he could reach it, but Eve was to be hit!
"EVE! MOVE!"
Before that could happen Oberon intervened, creating a shield between his Empress and the demon.
"Finally we are!"
The Dullahan will charge Oberon he ended up on the ground, there remains no one between the demon and Eve now.
"His weakness is that crystal light on its head! Destroy it! "
"Okay Eve!"
Elsword ran toward the Dullahan Knight, ready to strike.
"I'll help you! Power Aura! "
Aisha meanwhile, used her magic to boost the strength of Elsword, the red-haired boy jumped on a platform, ran to the end and jump against Dullahan Knight with all his strength.
"Ahhhhhiyaaaa!"
Before the Dullahan could turn Elsword had was on him, the boy had managed to jump on the shoulders of the demon that began to stir.
"What ?!"
"You're finished!"
The boy had seen the stone that Eve said, he forcefully strike hard on the magic stone, creating a pillar of fire that destroyed the ball!
"Flame Geyser!"
"Waaaah!"
The stone went straight into a thousand pieces, armor lost his life and fell to the ground with Elsword. Rena had placed archers and she came back from the group.
Everyone ran to see what had happened to the Sword Knight, who triumphantly raised an arm.
"Ehehe, I told you? I'm not a brat, I'm a hero. "
Lento had to think again.
Those guys were really strong.
