After shooting down the Dullahan Knight El Search Party stopped to recuperate.
Lento had been injured during the clash with the demonic armor, when the giant had rejected Lento had fallen on his leg and the fall was worse than expected.
"Take it."
Rena had approached the knight, gave him a healing potion, one that Ariel had given them before entering inside the place.
Lento thanked, drank the potion, as soon as the liquid entered the circle, the knight felt immediately better.
"Thank You."
Elsword was impatient to return to the road to the altar, and except Lento all the others were in good health. Surely they could not leave the knight alone and helpless in that room. They could get other demons and find wounded he would immediately become an easy prey for those creatures.
"So? When we are going?! "
Raven agreed with Elsword, had to hurry to be there still did not lead to anything.
Aisha struck him with her wand.
"Ouch!"
"Lento was injured! Give him some minutes to recover! "
"But as we give more time to advance to the demons!"
"She is right Elsword."
Lento it was back on his feet, using the sword as a support.
"I'm just slowing down."
Now Lento had seen what they were capable those guys and he realized he could trust, at least a little '.
At the time he realized to be slowing down the group and knew that any time lost could worsen the Feita.
"I'll stay here for some time, will take up the forces and will join you."
Lento said to all El Search Party, Elsword nodded.
"Perfect, then we go."
"Are you crazy !? We can not leave him here! If get some demons he is finished! "
Aisha protested.
"She is right, Elsword, we should stay with him and all go together."
Rena was agreed the sorceress.
"I'll stay with him."
Eve spoke.
"It is not necessary that all they stop here. You preseguite. "
"Are you sure Eve?"
Rena asked to her.
"Oberon will guard. There will be no problems. "
Eve was determined to stay with Lento, he wanted to be helpful and shows that could help the group, even if it was not human. Rena knew, was adorable the way Eve was trying to help the group and to gain acceptance, especially by Raven, who until then had proved hostile to Nasod.
"Then we agree. I, Elsword, Aisha and Raven continue. As soon as you have recovered Lento reach us. "
They nodded to the words of Rena.
"Ok, but the problem is where to go now."
Aisha spoke.
"This room is closed, there was nothing else out which way should we go?"
"It is not so."
Lento interjected, pointed at the wall to the north.
"As we drove away I had not figured out where we were, but now I understand. We in the west. "
Obviously the El Search Party did not know what he was talking.
"Over there ... there's a magical teleportation. It should be under the rubble. It gives off a soft light purple. "
The sorceress shifted where Lento point at. Actually felt something, a slight magical force.
"It's true! I hear something. Elsword move and handle these stones from here! "
Aisha commanded the poor Sword Knight, Elsword complained but eventually moved, beginning to move the rocks.
"Crossing the teleport you will be in another area, from here on it's all so. It's easy to find your way, just that you enter in the two teleporters that you will come and you will be the entrance to the Underground Chapel. "
"Then we will wait the meantime we will free the road from all the demons."
Rena assured the knight, who nodded.
"Be careful."
Rena walked from Aisha and Elsword, who had just finished moving the rocks, actually Lento was right, it was just under a teleportation magic!
Raven was going to move, but not before he had given a warning to Eve.
"Do not make jokes Nasod. If you try to do something weird I dismantled you. "
Raven jumped into the portal, followed by Aisha, Elsword greeted Slow and Eve jumping in too. Rena stood for a moment watching the two, but eventually jumped in herself.
Silence.
Eve sat on Moby and Levy, after Dullahan had been defeated, Eve, did not feel the presence of other enemies, at least not for the moment.
Lento was recovering energy. In about ten minutes would certainly managed to get to his feet and continue with his new friend. Eve was unflappable, focused and perfectly still. The knight was watching, he understood from the words of Raven that the girl was not like him. Even during the battle had noticed that his way of fighting was different, both for his weird weapons, which by the way had analyzed the Dullahan Knight.
"So ... you're not human right?"
Began. Eve did not stop to guard, not even respond, without a tremor or a gasp.
"What did you call first ... Oberon ... even he was not human."
There was a slight pause, then she replied.
"Affirmative."
The voice was cold, metallic, non shone the slightest emotion.
"So what are you ... a Nasod?"
Lento he never got to see a Nasod before, knew of the creatures only through history, Nasod were not human beings, real machines, with a frightening intelligence, it was they who in the past took to war against humans. It was almost unbelievable that one of those cars now had them with him.
Eve turned slowly toward the man.
"Are you afraid of me?"
What a strange question for a car. Why would a Nasod have to worry about a thing?
Lento said no.
"Why should I? You saved my life a little while ago. "
He said. A Lento does not matter much if it were a Nasod, a witch, an elf or a goblin. That girl was helping her land, was putting his life at stake for a land that did not belong.
"You're here and you're struggling to Feita. I can only be grateful. "
Eve stared Slow.
For a moment the rider seemed to see a smile on the lips of Eve.
"Rest. We must reach Elsword and others. "
Lento nodded.
Nasod eh ...?
Meanwhile on the other side of the wall ...
"Ahiya!"
Elsword had just finished yet another overthrow Glitter. A trail of corpses of demons was on the ground, the El Search Party was rapidly eliminating all the demons that appeared.
"This was the last."
Raven confirmed.
"We liberated the road, now we just have to get in front of the chapel."
Continued the Over Taker looking forward. Still do not see any input, only walls.
"Lento had said that there were other teleports magical. It is with those who reach the chapel. Aisha can understand where they are? "
Aisha nodded. He stopped calling in if the magical energy, Elsword he looked around, he saw there was not any the teleport.
"That way!"
He pointed to the east, Aisha, with his wand. The group continues, no other demon thankfully.
They walked and walked and finally came in front of different platforms.
"There is something strange."
Aisha said uncertainly.
"What?"
"Lento had said there was only one road?"
"You said so."
Rena confirmed.
"And yet ... I feel more of a magical portal!"
How was that possible?
Rena quickly jumped on one of the platforms, the right one, so did Elsword going left. Rena went up, reaching up to the highest point of the platform and once at the top saw. Teleportation.
"There he is here!"
Rena shouted.
"Here there is another!"
The voice of Elsword soon after. The boy had walked the road to the end of the wall and found a second portal.
This was a problem! Lento had said that there was only one portal, a single road, but like there was more than one! What was the right one?
"What now?"
Elsword Rena and returned by the other.
"We should check them both ... Aisha can not understand what it takes to us?"
Aisha shook his head.
"I can just feel their energy, but I can not say where linking. "
"You really are useless!"
"Shut goat!"
Aisha stamped his foot to Elsword with all his might, while the two were fighting Rena was thoughtful, if there was more of a portal probably one led to a trap! The portal more must have been put to shame the soldiers by demons, but if they could create teleporters was not ruled out that they had changed the destination of the teleport, the only thing to do was to control both.
"You think what I think, true Rena?"
"We have to cross them both ... just so we can ... and stop YOU TWO!"
Rena was angry, Aisha and Elsword were not at all serious, stopped quarreled and apologized.
"We have to divide us."
"I GO WITH RAVEN!"
Aisha and Elsword had spoken in chorus.
"I GO WITH RENA!"
Still in chorus.
"Well, then I'll take the portal Raven at the top, while the two of you one at the bottom. We meet here after the patrol. "
Smiled the elf, blatantly ignoring the two.
"BUT! I DO NOT WANT TO GO WITH ... "
"YOU TWO WILL DO AS I TELL YOU OR TROUBLE!"
Still smiling of course, but in a tone of voice that was frightening.
"Ok Rena ..."
"No ... please do not get mad!"
Raven laughed amused, it was fun to see those two bow meekly to the orders of the beautiful elf.
I decided the four groups were divided. Rena and Raven above, Aisha and Elsword below. They did not know where the portals would lead, but had to find out.
Elsword and Aisha were teleported, they found themselves in front of a long corridor, not too different from that previously passed. Debris scattered here and there along the way, including fractures of the pillars you could see the dark sky of Feita, but for the moment there was no trace of demons.
"Damn, why I have to go around with you?"
He complained Elsword. Among those present just Aisha had to go? Even the Dark Magician was happy to be with the red-haired boy.
"I would rather go with Rena. But because of you she is angry. "
He teased the two, continuing to travel the corridor. Instill it in front of a thick stone wall, there was a new teleportation magic. Aisha spotted him immediately.
"Here's another portal."
The two joined him in little and crossed it, finding himself in another corridor.
The second corridor was very similar to that crossing, long and narrow, it was also possible to see the altar, but no input. The two found a new portal and through him, but still found themselves in another hallway!
Also crossed this, another, another and more! At least five portals crossed the two, but the scenery did not change, only ever a long way they were before.
Elsword was beginning to lose patience, not those portals should have been used to shorten the road ?!
They passed through another portal, and the situation did not change.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH! Damn! Do not take it anymore! "
The two unfortunates were forced to go on, portal after portal ... blindly searching for a demon who probably would not have ever met ...
"We're back to first one!"
Rena exclaimed. As Elsword and Aisha, also Rena and Raven found themselves going in circles thanks to the magical portals, that was already the fifth time that pass through the same corridor, and at this point, things to do were few. Go ahead was useless, for how many times they crossed the portals at the end they always came back to the starting point. It was as if they had been thrown into a maze with no exit. The worst thing was that they could not even communicate with each other. It was easy to imagine that Rena in the same condition were also Aisha and Elsword and not just Lento had also picked up Eve and the rider would end up wandering aimlessly like them.
If only they could know the other, the situation would have been better, but in that situation there was very little to do. He had to think of a way to get out of there, but how?
Raven walked over to one of the walls, knocked a few times to the wall making sure that the other side there was nothing. Rena looked curiously movements companion, not understanding what he was doing.
"Raven?"
The Over Taker did not answer, he continued to knock on the stone wall until it stopped. He reached Nasod front wall, a strong energy concentrated within his hand, which immediately turned into a big ball of fire.
"Cannon Blade!"
The fireball went fast going to hit the wall that exploded! The wall collapsed, with a jump Raven moved, avoiding some of the stone fell on him, after which he approached the hole he had just created. Rena, curious, went up to him, right! If you changed the path, could reach the entrance of the chapel from the outside instead of the inside.
Raven shook his head.
"No way."
As soon as the Over Taker tried to put a hand out something stopped him, a sort of magical barrier prevented him to cross, was invisible, but if you tried to cross in front of you could feel as if there was a boulder that was not possible to move .
"We are in a force field."
Rena concluded. It was not possible to get out and the only thing they could do was to go forward, a real maze with no exit.
Raven sat on the ground, he could do he had done, now the alternative was to wait for him.
"We wait."
"EH?"
"We can not do otherwise not? Expect them to be those demons to come to us. When they do settle them and get out of here. "
He snorted. He would rather fight a powerful demon rather than staying locked them.
Rena did not look like a good plan, it was not impossible that the plan of those monsters would leave them to starve to death, it was said that some demon was going to finish them off.
He looked around, saw nothing that seemed to be somewhat relevant, but there had to be a way out.
"Not much thought. Sometimes you have to be patient to get a result. "
Raven crossed his arms and closed his eyes, as if he were resting, and Rena remained not much else to do but to follow his example. He settled on the ground, sitting up, the elf, gently put his bow to the ground, but left his hand over it, ready to retrieve it immediately in case of enemy attack.
The Sniping Ranger found himself looking at his companion, Raven did not know for a long time, but he had something happen, just look at that arm Nasod to imagine what could have happened to him before, even those clones to watch over King Nasod , Raven must have suffered because of Nasod and that was why now poured so much hate on Eve.
He had decided that he would speak and what better occasion than this?
"Raven can I ask you a question?"
The man did not answer, but nothing made him think that he had not heard, because the silence that reigned at that place was almost surreal.
"I do not know what happened before you, but you do not seem to be a bit 'too hard on Eve? She is a Nasod, but has shown on many occasions to be ... "
"Stop."
Rena not finished speaking that the Over Taker had already stopped.
"I Nasod are what they are. We are human, these creatures are different from us. As you strive to look like humans or show emotion, they have no idea what they are for real. "
A Raven Nasod i did not like, not hiding, had no shield kind words for him Nasod were all eliminated. No exceptions.
"We are all human you say… I'm an elf. "
"Is different."
"How is it different? I'm not a human being and we elves live a lot longer than you. Our ways of thinking and acting are different. "
"The elves have never begin a war."
Raven opened his eyes, puntadoli of Rena. He wanted to try to improve the relationship between him and the Nasod, but the elf did not understand, those were just machines. Nothing more. Their feelings and their emotions were just a pale imitation of the human ones, they could never reach an agreement. He hated all Nasod, even that arm that had been implanted. He hated the fact of having to have, yet the power of that arm saved him on many occasions, that Raven could define hypocrisy in a sense, he understood that. But as far as we thought what he felt for Eve was no different from hatred.
"What has done Eve? She do not ever done anything. Did she even saved a little while ago? She is good. "
Rena wanted Raven to understand that not everyone was equal, maybe it was too early for a reconciliation, but had to remind him that hate Eve like that would not have changed his life, except for the worse.
"She was not human is true, but she feel emotions or at least she try in her own way. I find it very cute when she tries to socialize with us, when she try to show what she's thinking. You should not despise her in this way. "
Raven did not want to hear, for him that speech did not make sense. Eve was what it was. This could not change. What should he do? Pretend that what had happened up to that point had not happened?
No, those were not things you could simply delete it.
"Maybe not today, but do not despise it so much."
Damn Rena, with her talk was making to mind bad memories. Those her movements, the hair, the eyes, the voice ... the way he was behaving more and more like Seris.
Do not talk to that voice.
Do not show with that face.
I do not want to remember.
"Could you do that for me?"
The voice of Rena became sweeter, Raven's head began to pulse, to think of it even Rena liked that much ... he did remember.
"Stop."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I am exhausted! "
While Rena and Raven had decided for a less impetuous Aisha and Elsword were still looking for a way to cross those portals and get away.
The two poor boys had run like madmen for more than ten minutes, after crossing portals portals but always coming back in the same spot.
Now they were on the ground exhausted, unmotivated.
"Do not take it anymore! We continue to move forward but the room does not change, we will remain stuck here forever ?! "
"Do not mention it as a joke! I have to save the world! I can not stand still here ... "
The look of Elsword stood on a wall, or rather of a crack in particular, opened his eyes, open your mouth ... that crack would say something but ...
"A-a-a-a-ha!"
"What's going on ?! Elsword"
Aisha whipped around, ready to defend herself, what he had just seen the guy? The girl held the wand in front of him but ... no. There was no one there!
The only thing I saw was a wall!
"... But that's just a wall."
Elsword jumped up, ran to the wall and pointed to one of the cracks.
"Look! LOOK I SAY! "
Aisha snorted, perhaps was beginning to go crazy.
"What?"
"This! This crack I still remember! We've been here! "
Aisha looked closely at the crack, but it did not seem too different from those seen so far on the other walls of stone, if he had indicated that pile of stones near the portal maybe he could ... a moment!
Aisha races stones, knelt down and studied them carefully.
"You're right."
She had already seen those stones! Then the red-haired monkey was not going crazy! They were really going in circles!
Aisha stood, furious, how dare those demons make fun of her ?! Powers or no powers would do something for those damned portals.
The sorceress stood in front of the portal but not through it. Called in if all the energy of mana that could accumulate. Elsword approached.
"Did not you say no ..."
"Forget what I said. This demons think they can make fun of me. Aisha, the great magician! Now I'll show you! "
The girl was angry, let her do that figure, it was as if those demons they had mocked her and this could not stand it!
Stretched out the staff in front of her, beginning to recite the formulas of Elsword did not understand a word.
The flow of mana that the girl had drawn now became visible to the swordsman, a purple energy had surrounded the girl's body. A light that grew stronger!
"Ahhhhh!"
Aisha imposed his power on the portal, the energy accumulated inside her broke out across the portal, this changed, the light that emanated became less kept up to change color, blue, wave magic wavered as if the magic that kept opened the portal had been disturbed. That was the moment.
"Soon Elsword!"
"Yup!"
Without thinking about the two boys ran inside the portal, leaving behind the damn corridor.
"That's what we were waiting for."
Raven stood. The magical portal had changed color even there, somehow Aisha had created a magical interference with all portals connected. None of them could tell where these portals would lead, but at least now there was a chance!
"Better than staying here!"
So even Rena and Raven crossed the portal.
"I did it!"
Aisha was satisfied was successful in her intent. The corridor in which the two guys were finished was very different from the one where they were before. The walls were less damaged and you could not see the sky, even the altar, was a room completely closed, except for a large wooden door.
"Haha, you finally proved you are useful, Aisha!"
"But how dare you ...!"
Elsword walked quietly to the door, was in good condition compared to local crossed until then, even the hallway seemed to have been spared from the fury of demons.
The Sword Knight reached out to open the door, but something stopped him. A pentacle magic appeared before the door, as if to block him the road.
"What ?!"
Needless to put strength, when pushed Elsword could not get to the door! A moment later he turned back Elsword, Aisha had surrounded the sinister shadows, the sorceress did not seem to have realized, the boy lifted his head and then he saw them.
Demons!
"Golem!"
Aisha looked up and saw them! In a flash teleported away, next to the swordsman. It was a trap!
Ten Golem Stone jumped down, landing with a thunderous roar.
They could not escape, there were portals and could not even go back the only alternative was to fight!
Aisha took a step back, defensively.
"They are a bit 'too much ..."
"What, are you afraid of?"
Scoffed Elsword.
"Not at all!"
The sorceress came forward lifting his hand up. A thick cloud spread in the green, a poisonous cloud.
"Poisonous Cloud! Remains in here, draw them in! "
Aisha had created that cloud to protect themselves if the Stone Golem had tried to approach were intoxicated instantly!
"Charge!"
Elsword and Aisha had been blocked by the Golem, and their only hope of getting out alive was to fight and win ...
Rena and Raven found themselves instead in a rather large rectangular room, there were many platforms on which to climb, the walls were crumbling rather consumed, there were several weapons to the ground, pieces of armor, blood. It was as if in that room there was a bloody battle, it was easy to imagine what had happened in that room some time before.
Rena advanced to before climbing on one of the platforms. Raven nodded, he would inspect the bottom of the room.
The Sniping Ranger advancing cautiously, holding the weapon ready, other pieces of armor scattered here and there, the young elf continued to rise, but soon found himself in front of a dead end. There was no sign of it magical portals, it's an output, the only thing to do was to return to earth, perhaps Raven had been more fortunate.
The Over Taker proceeded safely, apart from the rocks on the ground and the remains of the battle there was little to see. Raven went to the far wall, but nothing. He put his hand on the cold surface of the stone, caressing.
"Over here there is nothing."
Rena had just descended from the platform, Raven turned to the girl, not moving, as suddenly the earth began to shake. An earthquake?
The walls were vibrating, the stones were moving, the clang of armor rumbled here and there. The wall behind Raven began to move.
A rock hand emerged from the wall, the pieces of armor on the ground began to levitate, moving at great speed against the wall, Raven was able to jump away just in time to avoid being hit.
"What the hell ?!"
The stone wall was not a wall, it was transformed in the guise of a gigantic Stone Golem, but unlike normal Golem this was much larger, dressed in a purple armor, with a mask on his face.
"He must be the leader of the Golem!"
Exclaimed Rena making back, ready for battle.
The Golem was no longer just a Golem, was Teach the Tyrant!
The beast stone immediately identified the two invaders, Raven stepped forward, putting himself on guard, the demon Tyrant screamed to the sky, rushing toward the two. Every step that moved the demon shook the whole room, so much so that his weight was big. The demon leaped, making a perfect body slam!
Rena had managed to get away but Raven not.
"Raven careful!"
The Over Taker was ready, Raven Curl up like a hedgehog, sharp metal spikes fires in all directions. The demon Tyrant impact against the body of Raven, but he was not the guy to be damaged, the thorns of metal had penetrated into the structure of the monster, damaging it.
The giant stone shifted, pieces of his armor had fallen, but they recovered quickly, with his strong arms took the pieces of rock scattered around, pulling against the two, Rena pulled her arrows guided against the rock, making explode before they could reach both she and Raven, small stones flew in all directions.
Raven lightning approached the body of the Tyrant, to be his opposite, channeled the energy of fire inside of his arm after shooting a fireball against the body of the monster!
Pieces of the Tyrant flew away, had been severely damaged, Rena materialized other arrows, throwing them against the monster, two magic arrows hit the right arm and the left-Tyrant, and the last he hit his head.
The Tyrant fell to the ground lifeless.
"Perfect."
"It was easy, right?"
Now that the Tyrant was shot down the two could discover so was beyond the rock wall that was before the Tyrant.
A road.
"Look at Raven. We can go now. "
Raven nodded, after all those demons were not anything special.
The two resumed their journey, approaching sure the wall now disappeared. The land, however, taken to tremble again, hard enough to alerting the two adventurers.
The big arms of the Tyrant now floated back to the two, Raven managed just in time to move, gave a boost to Rena, strong enough to make her move.
"Go!"
Before the Over Taker could defend himself the arms of the Tyrant he will clap with his hands, dealing heavy damage to Raven.
The boy spat blood, the blow was strong.
"Raven!"
Rena shoots a concentrated magic sphere force into the ground, releasing a powerful wind blows away the Tyrant That explosion.
"You all right?"
"What the hell is going on?"
The Tyrant composed herself, her arms clung to the body now alive again.
"It is recomposed!"
It had to be like the other, the Dullahan, had to have a core of magical energy that moved him somewhere. But this time no light purple, only a huge block of stone.
"The only way to stop it is to attack with enough force to prevent him to compose himself."
Rena had come to the same conclusion as Raven.
"Then I have something for us."
Raven had something in mind, but he needed time.
"Let me buy time!"
"Ok!"
Rena slid forward towards the monster, shooting four arrows in rapid succession against the head of the Tyrant, the monster tried to hit the Sniping Ranger, but she was faster, a quick jump and unleashed the energy of the wind against the arms coming , the demon I step back.
"Rena! Get up! "
Raven had completed their preparations, the elf hearing the voice of Comrade moved immediately, the Over Taker began to laugh in an almost sick. Summons a giant machine nasod That falls from the heavens. It squashes the Tyrant and explode!
He Hated Nasod ...
But what I hated most was having to admit that without quell power would not be able to fight as he did.
This time the Tyrant was really gone down.
The Stone Golem all slumped to the ground as dead.
"Eh? What happend? "
The magical field that had blocked Elsword and Aisha broke at the same time when the Golem Stone went to the ground.
They had made it.
The group met, now that the Tyrant was shot down the road leading to the chapel was free.
The sky was full of clouds threatening, but someone was watching the events from above ...
"Kukuku ... finally ... I found it."
