Hey There! ^^
Let's talk about pairigin, when I begin this story I don't have think about who can be pair with who. I just want see how this character can grow up by them self. I think it's more intresting this way. What do you think?
Anyway here we go! Next chapter on the stage!XD
Finally the El Search Party had gathered, after spending so much time to turn in the maze of teleporters they could relax. When Rena and Raven defeated the Tyrant the spell of the portals vanished, causing Elsword and Aisha were able to leave the room where they were being blocked by the Golems, now lifeless.
Rena and Raven were the first to reach the entrance of the Underground Chapel. The Over Taker in particular take advantage of those moments to rest, had been hit hard by the Tyrant just before, and his body still ached.
Rena gave him some potions to regain his strength, that the Over Taker drank with pleasure. The wounds began to heal and felt better for short.
Aisha and Elsword arrived soon after, they also do not exactly unharmed. The group stopped to wait for the arrival of Lento and Eve. Even if they were stuck inside the maze once defeated the Tyrant they too would have to see an exit.
Time passed, but no trace of the two. The sky above them does not bode well, from time to time the noise of some thunder ripped through the air, shaking the little magician, so that when one of these was the noisiest of the other, the poor Aisha grabbed forcefully Rena's hand.
"Fool! You're a witch and you're afraid of thunder! "
"If you do not shut up I'll electrocute you! Red-haired monkey! "
Rena laughed gently, sometimes Aisha had some cute side, she thought.
The minutes passed but there is no trace of Lento and Eve. The thing was beginning to worry about the members the El Search Party.
Raven got up and began to walk back.
"Raven?"
Raven did not care about the fate of That Nasod, but could not stay there forever, so he had decided to go back to look for the two missing.
"I go back to look for them. You wait here. "
Rena most everyone knew that the Over Taker had been hit by the Tyrant, could not let him go alone.
"If you go we'll all go."
"I do not need, you just slow me down. You stay here and ... "
"There they are!"
Elsword called out, seeing the two emerge from the rubble. The Sword Kinght ran to meet them first.
"What happened to you? How ever took you so long ?! "
Churches.
"Sorry. We preferred to control all areas to see if there were still enemies around. We saw the bodies of Golem scattered around, but I wanted to be sure. "
The Knight explained. To his delight he found that all the demons Golem had been put out of action, the way to get to the Underground Chapel had been completely freed from the demons. The guys had done a really great job. But he was soon to smile, Lento knew there was still a long way to go before reaching the altar. Outside the situation was less critical, but once you enter in 'Underground Chapel things would get worse.
"You made us worry."
Snorted Elword, Eve was stopping them, seemed fine. Lento ignored him, getting closer to the big wooden door of the chapel. Raven gave a cold stare to Eve, but said nothing.
Lento cleared his throat.
"Well guys. This was the easy part. Once entered here begins our real mission. "
His voice was serious and demanded that kids listen very carefully.
"What's that? Did not you see the demons that were out here? "
Complained Elsword.
"If you think these were strong waits to see what has taken possession of the building. "
Lento looked sternly at Elsword.
"When we stepped into the chapel, our soldiers felt the dark evil aura. You will have seen them down the field. They were literally on the ground. "
Rena thought back to when they entered the camp, in fact she had seen many soldiers with a strange look, exhausted. She believed it was simple discomfort, however, was something more?
"Aisha is possible that it is a spell?"
Aisha was uncertain.
"There are so many types of magic in the world, maybe."
Lento said again.
"We need to find out what's behind That aura."
The man put his hand on the big door, stroking the wood with nostalgic do.
"This chapel is a sacred place and it's in the center of the shrine ... We need to cleanse it before it's too late."
Seemed that Lento particularly keep to that place, this did intrigue the elf, who knew very little about the customs of Feita.
"What exactly this chapel?"
" This was a place of prayers to Lady of El a long time ago. A sacred place to all of us, that is where all the faithful gather to send their petition to the Lady of El."
So it was a place dear to the knight, she thought, who knows how many people and how many events those walls saw, in years and years, and now it had been invaded by demons and in danger of being destroyed.
Lento turned to look at the group, talking with the usual severity in his voice.
"Some soldiers, before finishing victim dark aura, have reported seeing a purple light coming from the back of the chapel, a sinister light."
"What kind of light?"
Aisha asked, curious. Lento shook his head.
"I have not seen it. But this is what I know. Now we enter, but be careful, from here on can not go wrong. "
They all nodded firmly. Lento opened the door, helped by Elsword and Raven, it was quite think and the three did their best to avoid making noise, and alert the demons of their arrival ahead of time. Although in all probability, were expected.
Another thunder, Aisha tightened his hand Rena. Eve lifted her head up, as if she had seen something. Rena watched the Nasod, scanning the sky in turn, above them the sky was getting darker, but aside from black clouds there was nothing.
"Eve?"
The Nasod not answered, staring at the sky, Rena approached, carrying Aisha.
"Eve? Did you see anything? "
Only after Eve lowered her gaze on bringing Sniping Ranger, crystal clear and cold.
"Negative."
That said the Nasod walked toward the door now open. Rena, however, was not convinced, yet looked at the sky in search of something, but nothing. What could have seen Eve?
Rena was thoughtful, the voice of Aisha to bring her back to reality.
"Rena ... come ... we go."
The sorceress was pulling hard on the arm elf. She smiled gently, merely walking towards the door. But she was not quiet.
The group quietly entered the chapel, Lento had been well aware not to make noise, it moved silently, stealthily, kept his sword in front of him, on guard against enemies that they could pop out at any moment . Elsword and Raven followed him a short distance, keeping on guard, did not know what it was like inside, but they were ready for action.
To close the row were girls, once entered into the chapel Aisha found her normal security, now that the sound of thunder was far the sorceress felt much better. Eve was concentrated, advancing gracefully, levitating driven by her gravitons, Remy and Moby. Rena could not help but look back, what happened with Eve left her puzzled, occasionally watched the Nasod, but she showed no sign of uncertainty.
Lento motioned to the group to stop. Apparently the entrance was clear of enemies. The first thing you certainly noticed was that the place was very large, before the group a huge hall in ruins, had once magnificent, full of happy people who came from everywhere to honor the Lady of El. The walls were exquisitely decorated with frescoes and colors once lively, elegant pillars and well built, several torches were placed to the side of the corridor, lit up the rubble with their dim light.
"The chapel is very big, there are doors leading in the accommodation of the priests, the other mazes, stay close, do not go off on your own or you might miss."
warned the knight, staring in front of him.
"What is our target?"
Raven spoke. They had to get to the Altar of Dedication, but how they could get going from the chapel? There was some passage that allowed arriving directly?
Lento nodded.
"Is simple. Once over the heart of the chapel there is a spiral staircase that leads directly to the highest point of the spiral tower. Once there we just have to climb to the Altar of Dedication. If it is as I think once you get them we will face the leader of these demons. As I said our soldiers have spoken of howls that came from them. What is the point of origin of the invasion and is definitely them that there is their leader."
Lento had the mathematical certainty of what he said, but it was not even a possibility so far. Also put the monsters guarding the road gave him reason, the only way to discover the truth was going.
"From here on the road is straight, just be careful where you put your feet."
Lento took a few steps forward, but immediately a creak caught his attention, he turned back, scolding Elsword.
"I said do not make noise!"
"But it was not me!"
The red-haired boy was right. Emerged from the shadows, figures now familiar to the group, Glitters.
The demons were at least twenty, crawled out of the dark as snakes, dragging behind their heavy weapons. Bows, hammers, spears and shields forged steel, they prepared in front of the El Search Party, were not going to let them pass.
"They were waiting for us."
Raven laughed mockingly. That welcome was not accidental. Elsword smiled in amusement, they are many, but it was sure of himself.
"We're going to make us welcome!"
"Do not waste energy unnecessarily."
The three swordsmen launched their attack, three against twenty, an unfavorable report. Elsword threw himself to the charge against the five armed with shield, jumped on a pile of rocks piled nearby, like a fury dropped his sword against the first, causing him to fall to the ground. The other four immediately moved to the aid of his teammate, but Elsword by twisting the sword had them back, a flaming wave strikes against the shields of the four Glitter, making them hot. The Sword Knight imposed his sword on the ground unleashing a geyser of fire under the feet of Glitters.
"Flame Geyser!"
Raven instead had launched against those armed with spears, defiantly the Over Taker invited them to come closer, the Spearman Glitters arranged themselves quickly to go back to Raven, each from a different side, all five ran simultaneously against the swordsman to bury it. Before they could hurt the body of the Over Taker, he is protected, wrapping himself in a cocoon of metal pins that infilzarono all Glitter Spearman.
"Charged Bolt-Hedgehog!"
Lento instead had decided to deal with Glitter Pounder, the knight of Feita was not outdone, rolled his great sword, with a single blow managed to hit two Glitter, a strong shock wave was generated by dropping them on the ground, disoriented the other three made their shield of his weapon, charging against the knight, Lento snapped back by lifting the sword and generating a second shock wave that sent him to the mat also the last three.
They were all ... no! Just a moment! They had forgotten the archers!
From behind the five Glitters armed with bows were ready to shoot, but never made it in time. Five arrows shot as a fan, as precisely hit went to hit the heads of Glitters remained. Wounding them to death.
Rena lowered the bow, sighing heavily.
"Sigh .. exhibitionists."
"Yeah."
"I confirm."
The girls had a thing happen to those three ... were having a competition to see who was more of a man ...
"Hahaha! All set! We continue! "
Elsword laughed really load.
Slow led the group along the main corridor, no other demon went against them, the knight imagined that later they had prepared something, it was necessary remain vigilant.
At the end of the corridor there was a corner, but just before there was a large wooden door painted in blue. Lento took the curve without hesitation, but Elsword was curious.
"What's behind this door?"
"Nothing important."
Coldly replied the knight, Elsword was annoyed by that answer, but seeing Raven go on, followed. A little further on there was a small staircase and immediately after another door, this one colored blue and golden.
The girls arrived soon after. Eve was the first to pass the door, Rena was just behind her, but while passing something stopped her. A hum ... a slight pain ... for a moment the elf felt a feeling of discomfort, as if something in the air was interfering with the rest.
Aisha's hand grabbed Rena. Eve stopped, sensing something in turn, came from the girls, watching them for a moment. It was not yet very practical of human emotions, but she understand that something was wrong.
"Are you wounded?"
Rena smiled at Eve.
"No, no. It's all right, I just had a strange feeling. "
Aisha's face was purple, his mouth twisted into a grimace.
"I heard something. A presence. Seems to want to disturb the energy that is in this place. "
The Dark Magician said. Eve looked away from the girls to the room, scanning the entire area, there was no sign of demons and did not feel danger whatsoever, at least not at the moment.
"The room is clean."
She informed the two. Aisha concentrated, closed her eyes for a moment, catalyzing their energy in a search. Eve had said that the place was clean, but she felt something, those feelings knew them well now, rarely wrong. Rena also confirmed the feeling of a moment ago.
Calming the young sorceress was led by the magic flow, walked without looking, holding her hand in front of herself. She touched the wood. She opened her eyes. It was the first door.
"Here ..."
Eve and Rena had approached in turn, Aisha was right, even Rena closer he got to the door and felt a more menacing energy.
"The energy of the earth here is disturbed."
"We proceed?"
Eve asked the two, regardless of the three swordsmen who now had opened the door.
Aisha and Rena nodded, but when the two laid their hands on the door the energy felt until then suddenly disappeared!
".. It is gone."
"You're right, I do not hear any more."
Eve, who was the only one not to have felt nothing, did not understand what they were talking. Yet it was clear that something had disturbed not just the two.
"HEY! You three! I told you not to get away! "
Lento was that was calling, criticizing them. Rena took a step forward.
"We heard something coming behind this door. You said that there is the demon that lurks here can use a negative aura, right? "
"Yes, I said it."
So ... it was possible that the demon was just beyond that door until a moment before. Lento became suspicious.
"Do you mean that there is something behind here?"
Lento watched the door, on guard, if the demon that had struck his men was behind that door, his duty was to destroy it.
"No. Not anymore. But I think we're observed."
Lento shifted his gaze on the sorceress and Nasod, if it was true what they said his idea was right, those demons were preparing a second ambush somewhere. Probably if it was not for the three of them would have taken the demon behind.
"They know where we are and we are waiting."
Lento knew what lay beyond the door at the top of the stairs. It was the perfect place for an ambush. The knight raised his voice, so that even Elsword and Raven could hear.
"Listen. I have reason to believe that after this room there will tend an ambush. Be ready. Rena, Eve, Aisha. If you hear anything let me know immediately. "
"All right."
"Really, I do not ..."
Eve somehow seemed to be embarrassed, her voice had become lower, on the other hand was the only one of the girls to not capture anything! Although it was the Empress of Nasod, this lack was unforgivable.
The Nasod came alongside to Aisha, back straight and look straight ahead. She could not forgive any mistake!
Aisha looked Eve, bewildered. What was going through the head of that Nasod? Why had approached that way ?!
"Okay! Let's go on! "
After this little speech, the group of explorers set off again.
Go up the stairs, through the door, the El Search Party found itself in a new area of the chapel. Here the signs of battle were even more evident, compared to the previous corridor. Overturned benches, statues, once beautiful, vandalized and decapitated, smashed doors, deep grooves in the floor and a few column demolished. A place once sacred to the hearts of the people, now reduced to rubble.
Lento looked with disgust that view. Had not been able to protect that place before, but now he was there, with his sword in his hands, decided to take it back to and drive out the invaders.
Raven said nothing, that was the war and he had been there before, nothing new for a guy like him.
Elsword was ready to act, rather than to the local culture, he was interested in defeating enemies.
Aisha and Rena instead were concentrated, probed the air looking for any trace magic, the demon who lived in that place must have prepared something, but they could intercept his track, only had to pay attention.
Eve instead it was acting perfectly in the role of "bodyguard", checking Aisha, reputed by Nasod the weakest and therefore most in need of attention, embarrassment eh?
That was the words to describe what she felt now?
An annoying feeling!
Straight in front of the group there was a huge fountain, or rather, what was left of a fountain, a work of art that reigned at the center of a huge circular room, depicting two angels who opened their wings, surrounding a figure armed with sword, the artist who had sculpted the masterpiece must have been really inspired, the bill of his work was exquisite, full of details. Unfortunately, at present, the superb masterpiece, was little left to admire. The heads of the angels had been removed, the damaged base, several pieces were now on the ground, the white color was now dirty. A work of fine art, turned into an ode to destruction.
Lento spoke coldly.
"upon a time this was one of the main area, many people gathered here to watch this fountain."
It had to be hard for a resident of Feita watch that show. Lento advancing first, followed by Elsword and Raven, the three were very careful where they walked, the ground was uneven. Part of the road was blocked by high debris, could hardly step over.
"We have to continue that way until the end of the north corridor."
Raven studied the place, leading to an inevitable conclusion.
"If I were, I would have prepared a second ambush here. This is the place is perfect."
It made sense. A room full of debris, where it was difficult to move, which judging by his quick inspection showed only one access road. It was the ideal place.
Eve scans the room looking for an alternative route. Nothing to do.
"I confirm. The only possible way is the one that turns back to the fountain. It is only one way. "
They would have to turn back to the fountain, go through an area full of obstacles, a place definitely not suited for combat.
All were aware, the demons were there waiting, but no one stepped back. Lento as always the first to go on.
Rena noticed that around the fountain there were several things, many doors, some of these had been smashed. The elf moved soon after, ahead Aisha and Eve.
The group moved cautiously, arriving before the fountain, still a hundred yards and they circumvented the obstacle. But just as Aisha and Eve had passed the threshold, the pings began to resonate throughout the room.
Glitters!
They were many, this time thirty, were hidden inside the basin of the fountain and now revealed their presence, everyone turned towards the fountain holding their weapons, ready to do battle. It was not over them.
"Look at them!"
Elsword shouted to alert his companions. From the north corridor, the one where they were going, about ten Stone Golem made their appearance, but they were much more armored than those faced in the first Spiral Corridor, dressed in a manner very similar to the Tyrant, Rage Stone Golem!
"A full-scale ambush."
Raven said with a smirk.
"How could this happen?"
Eve's eyes narrowed, had happened yet! She had not heard anything, this embarrassment ... she did not like it at all!
Glitters behind and Golem forward, not a good situation.
"We will have to fight. I, Elsword and Raven'll take care of the Golem. "
The two boys nodded ready to charge.
"Aisha, Rena and Eve, Deal with Glitters.
"All right."
"Affirmative!"
Lento knew that would not be easy, but they could make it.
"Let's Go!"
The battle began. Lento charged against the first of the Golem in front of him, lowering his sword from above, against the body of the monster, the blade crashed against the heavy armor of the demon. It was pretty damn resistant.
Elsword performed a spin, releasing coils of fire against the demons, Raven instead struck in the head one of the Golem, who barred his way.
These Golem were much stronger than the previous, much more aggressive, it was as if they do not feel pain. With fury loaded the three swordsmen, forcing them to retreat, Elsword fell to the ground, but Lento loomed just ahead to defend him from a body slam.
Eve launched Moby and Remy to attack, the two small graviton charge in a full belly Glitter Spearman, end up doing it again in the fountain. Rena was in charge of the archers, the Sniping Ranger was accurate, hitting his targets with skill, putting k.o. one after the other.
Luckily these Glitter were no different from those encountered before, they were definitely the weakest of their category.
Aisha used her poisonous cloud to protect her and her friends, thanks to it, whenever the enemies tried to approach were immediately poisoned and became easy prey of the Dark Magician.
The battle was furious, half of Glitters had been put out of action, the problem was the Golem. They come from the north corridor more and more, before they were ten, later fifteen. They seemed to never end!
"If you're finished with Glitter come and help us!"
Lento shouted, committed to dismiss the charge of one of the demons.
"We are fighting. Do you see it !? "
Replied nervously Aisha while she teleports on a spur of rock, to dodge an enemy arrow. Other Glitter however began to arrive, this time from the south, ten Spearman ready to attack.
"There's other from behind!"
Rena warned others, plant an arrow in the chest at a Glitter Pounder. For many it killed the enemies kept coming. Three Golem perished, but the other five it did appear. The Glitter of the fountain were almost all eliminated, but others came from the south.
It was a battle of attrition.
"Oberon"
Eve summoned her servant, Oberon. The Nasod appeared slashing the dimensions, jumped in front of her summoner, parrying two arrows directed at her with a protective shield.
The Nasod put forth her hand toward Glitters just arrived.
"Oberon! Genocide Ripper! "
Nasod immediately rushed as fast as lightning against the group Glitters approaching, the blade of Oberon cut and tore the flesh of demons, quickly moved to the right, left and above. Glitters I could not even understand what was attacking them, who were already on the ground lifeless!
"Good job Eve!"
Congratulated the elf, thanks to Oberon, the Glitters most all eliminated, there remained only a couple to settle, after which would be passed to help Elsword and others.
Morale was high back, Aisha threw fireballs against a Glitter Defender, who had made the mistake of entering the toxic cloud created by the sorceress. Rena was about to finish one Spearman when something stopped her.
The head of Sniping Ranger had started to hurt, Spearman realizing of what happens immediately took advantage, charging against the elf decided to pierce her chest.
Rena noticed the movement of the demon, tried to jump backwards, but she would never have had time to dodge!
"Oberon! Shield! "
The intervention of Eve was providential. Oberon parried between Rena and spear, shield energy pushed back Glitter, who fell backward, losing his grip on his weapon.
"Rena, damage?"
Eve waited for a response from Rena, but Aisha was talking.
"I feel ... I feel it again!"
The face of the sorceress was changed again, the same grin she had when she heard that energy before.
The face of the sorceress was changed again, the same grin she had in face when he heard that energy.
"... This buzz is tremendous."
Complained Rena. Eve scans the ground, only the demons, did not feel else. Aisha stopped struggling, looking for the point of origin of the malicious energy. It took a little to find the right direction.
"Is this way! Comes from here! "
The sorceress began to run, teleported past the fountain, from the opposite side to where they were now, leaving Rena and Eve alone. The Sniping Ranger went back forced her to recover, with a long leap put her on the pedestal of the fountain.
"A-Aisha! Wait! "
With rapid movements the elf moved to where Aisha had reappeared, just in time to see her disappear through a door partially destroyed by the fury of demons.
Lento was the first to notice what was happening.
"What are you doing ?! Where are you going !? "
Yelled the man disconcerted.
"I can not let they go by themselves."
Eve took flight, leaving behind the Glitter remained and the three swordsmen. She flew over the stone fountain, chasing Rena and Aisha ...
Lento Elsword and Raven now remained alone to face a small army of demons that continued to advance.
"Do not distract the rider. We can not lose you too. "
Shouted Elsword.
"Girls can do it, think to stay alive."
Raven spoke, throwing away one of the Golem that had tried to surprise him with a mighty shove.
Three against an army.
Aisha ran and ran. She passed the door, quickly, inside another long corridor, but this was much narrower than the previous. Ruins everywhere, flags ripped, destroyed walls, compared to the devastation of the main this was less affected. The sorceress continued to run following the lure of dark energy, overcame another door without thinking about what could have waiting for the other side.
"Aisha!"
Rena had just entered the small hall, the elf looked quickly around the room, no enemy, no trace of the Dark Magician, where could she have gone?
There were doors, all open, she could have taken any one, there was no time to check them all! Would have risked getting lost, Lento said that place could be a maze for those who did not know it!
The feeling of discomfort was increased, whatever it was to provoke it had to come from the.
"Report on the situation?"
"Eve!"
Rena was happy to see Eve had followed, the Nasod popped up from the door a few moments later Rena.
"Aisha has to be entered into one of these ports."
Eve studied the room, lifted her hands, making it appear two dispaly and keyboard, with her usual coldness she began analysis.
"Search Mode: Start. "
The scan would take some time, but certainly thanks to the skill of Nasod would be able to ...
"Iaaaaaah!"
...
"Search Mode: Completed."
"That way, quick!"
Rena ran fast in the direction it came the scream, followed by Eve. As soon as she crossed the threshold Rena was ready to shoot her arrows against the enemy, what she saw, however, was bizarre.
The witch was on the ground, trembling, while a little demon featured spherical was near her, the little guy in the mouth, had a pale blue ball, two vacant eyes. Rena was disoriented for a moment, the little demon glanced at the elf, for a moment ...
"R-Rena ... careful ... .He ..."
Aisha whispered weakly, it was as if the Dark Magician had lost all its vitality.
The little demon jumped up, spreading a strange wave of energy, in a moment Rena felt drained of all her magic power! Elf legs buckled, private by its energy could not even use the arrows to fight back. A large ball of blue energy set off from Rena's body, heading for the mouth of the little guy, who swallowed it with a gulp!
That was the first time she saw a Mana Eater!
"My ... how ...?"
Rena's voice was low, tired, tense her bow, but her arms trembled, she was too weak even to create a single arrow. Luckily with her was Eve!
The Empress of Nasod, darted toward the creature, flying at full speed, the look of cold Nasod was scary. The Mana Eater was taken aback, Eve movement her arms and the little one was already a goner!
"Oberon! Cut! "
The faithful servant unsheathed his blade, a clean cut, which split in two the body of Mana Eater, an instant and the demon was dead.
From the body of the demon rolled off two balls of energy, the same pale blue in his mouth, Eve walked and picked up. Weighing, as if wanting to study better.
"So. This is a sphere of mana. Without this, you can not work. That'S Interesting. "
Aisha and Rena stared the Nasod, without answering. Who in agony, who embarrassed.
Poor things.
"Okay, okay you were great, now give it to me, quick!"
Aisha was eager to get back his ball, stretched out her arms weakly towards Eve, who gave a ball to the sorceress, the other the elf. As soon as the ball came into contact with the two, as these were absorbed from their bodies, to revert to the normal state of health.
The Dark Magician stood up, dusting off her skirt.
"Okay. Now I can move on. "
She was about to resume running but the sharp voice of the Rena braked.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!"
Aisha shivered ... knew that tone of voice ...
"You do not move without us."
"But I was looking for ..."
"I also feel the same, but you can't go alone. If it should happen again, we could not be there to defend you."
Eve went to the sorceress, as wanting to stop all movements. Rena took a moment to think, the right thing to do would be to go back and help the rest of the guys with the demons, but she could not ignore that unpleasant feeling, the demon manipulator dark aura had to be there, in those rooms. Once removed it was possible to happen as with the Tyrant, that all his demons cease their functions. It was not a chance to discard.
She looked on the Dark Magician.
"Can you figure out where to get this aura?"
Rena was able to guess the area most affected by the aura, but not to identify it precisely as Aisha.
"Yup. It is from the ... that way. "
The sorceress pointed to the east, them there was another door. Rena took the lead.
"That's what we will do, we will move forward, we will find those who dominates this aura and settle. Then we'll come back to help the boys. So let's do it fast. "
The plan was simple. Eve and Aisha nodded, all agree the girls were ready to move forward.
"I'll lead. Aisha you Tell me the way. Eve, I count on you. "
The Sniping Ranger had established roles. Brooked no argument. Having said that began to move, before taking to the road to the east gate, sat between her and her companions about ten meters, so be sure to be able to spot the enemy before, in case of danger, the other two would intervene. They were only three, had to organize themselves well to survive.
For now, no enemies, it was all very quiet, yet there was something different in the air, like a suffocating cloud of negative energy that permeated throughout the room, had to be the right way.
Asiha could say precisely what the path is, so they can't get lost. Eve memorized the route, in order to be able to go back without difficulty once removed the demon, Rena instead dealt garde.
"There."
Aisha said, Rena nodded proceeding towards the area indicated by the companion, but a luminescence drew attention elf.
"What?"
A light purple, very faint, came from a one of the premises, not the same as indicated by Aisha. What could it be?
The three girls were attracted by the strange light, but Rena stopped.
"Aisha ... you feel something there?"
The sorceress shook her head.
"Nothing."
Rena was uncertain, however, a purple light, as described by Lento, Aisha felt nothing, but could not leave anything to chance, maybe it was some strange device of demons, something that is not exploited the magical energy, there was also this possibility.
She had to check.
"Wait here. If I don't come back in ten minute, follow me. Be careful. "
She said seriously. The place was full of danger, might even be a trap, in that case it was better not to fall them all.
Stealthily the Sniping Ranger, advanced.
"Ku..kuku..ku ... kuku ... kuuuu kuuuu ... ..."
A sinister sound, a sound never heard before, came from inside the roomit was not possible hear it from the corridor where the girls were, but the closer one gets, the more clear became.
A young man was in the room, standing in front of a pile of rubble and corpses of demons, massed maniacally. The dress was white, as well as hair, was enveloped in a strange purple glow, this created many small discharges of energy, which occasionally shining stronger.
The sound continued, but it was not a demon, but human. Of that human.
"... Ku ... .ku ... .I know ... I know ... it's ... it's ... here."
Words muffled, a trembling voice. The walls of the room were almost completely torn down, one of these was possible to admire the sky, dark as ever.
The young man was standing still, talking to himself.
"I ... my ... tools ... not ... they are wrong ... .never ..."
The voice became higher for a moment, but the words died in his throat.
"I must ... I must do ... find ..."
He put a hand over his face, covering his eyes, as he drove toward strange. A cold wind moved the curtains, hitting him, causing him to tremble in cold.
"Kuukuku kuuu ... ..."
Following the sound, Rena, could easily find who or what emitting. The elf immediately recognized the human features, those of a young man. The Sniping Ranger walked silently, without speaking, to the right she noticed a row of corpses of demons, dressed differently from those encountered up to that time, dressed in long robes purple, rich in detail and stones around them ten magic wands, those demons had to be magicians!
Look at the human. Seemed to be in a trance. Now that was close, she realized that he had to produce this strange sound.
"Kukukuuuu ..."
The elf wondered what on earth could do them a boy, he's not a soldier. He was ... lost?
Rena reached out to him, he was shaking, and how if it was shaking! With gentle voice called him.
"Hey ...? Hey! Boy what are you doing in this place is dan ... "
Gently laid a hand on his shoulder, calling him. But that contact unexpected snapped something in the young!
He raised his voice, shouting, gave a strong push to Rena, who drew back immediately.
"GUHAAHHAHAH!"
"…ger…huh ?!"
The young man had turned revealing his features, a young man with a pale face and white hair, purple eyes, with an expression somewhere between crazy and terrified.
"Stay away from me! Ghost! "
"GHOST ?!"
That said something darted against Rena, like small daggers, but did not come from the front but from behind! These brushed skin elf, causing a sharp displacement of air that ruffled her hair. Rena closed her eyes, bringing her arms to protect the body. She opened her eyes, but the young white, was gone ...
Eve and Aisha came from her soon after.
"Rena! What happend ?! "
"You have screamed."
Aisha checked the status elf, but seemed to be well. Just a little 'disoriented.
Rena same was not sure what had happened, there really was a boy there? Or not? Maybe he was a ghost?
She was confused.
Eve saw the corpses massed demons.
"You killed them all?"
Rena shook his head.
"I Have Not. They were already dead when I got there. "
Aisha knelt next to the demons, to study them, those robes, those chopsticks, the slight trace of magical energy still in the air ... everything was to indicate that the creatures were using magic to strike.
"Necromancer."
That's what they were. Glitter Necromancer.
"Necromancer?"
"Exactly. These demons practice a kind of dark magic, the residue of energy that emanate is very clear, these rods are typical of the Necromancer. "
Aisha knew her stuff. She knew all kinds of magic in the world, no more than she could say what it was or what it was.
"Our enemy uses black magic. It is the darkest and most powerful spells. "
The voice of Aisha shuddered for a moment, as excited for a sorceress had to be exciting to find something before that until then was just a pure theory.
"Sure. Necromancy explains everything. The dark aura, the change of mood in the soldiers ... Why did not I think of that ?! "
Aisha was certain of what she was saying.
"Now we know what our enemies are using to hit. But we have to find them. "
"Hahaha. Now that I understand this will be a joke. Trust me. "
Aisha was really excited, seemed not wait to fight that demon. The eyes of the enchantress sparkled, almost happy.
"Come on! Let'S Go! "
Aisha started walking again, back on the right track, Eve and Rena looked for a moment, the Nasod was the first to move, Rena looking back for a moment, watching the room. She shook her head. There was no need to think now about what had happened.
Going forward the girls discovered that all Glitter Necromancer had been eliminated.
That's why they had not met until then!
A trail of corpses them showed the way. Soon the girls found themselves in front of a heavy wooden gate, this was very different from the others, the most decorated, most especially, rich in stones and the deep purple color.
"Is here."
Aisha felt that behind that door was the demon that they were looking, feeling sick Rena, increased, the closer she got the more she felt suffocated.
"Yes ... I can feel it."
At the gate there was the corpse of a demon much more special than others, red tunic and white, his body was larger than that of Glitter.
"Proceed with the elimination of the subject."
With these words, Eve did open the door to Remy and Moby, just after they crossed.
The room in which they found themselves was definitely great. It was magnificent, a stained glass window of many colors was placed behind the altar, many torches illuminated the one that had all the air of being the main chapel.
The ceiling was very high, the details on the pillars indescribably beautiful. But the room was empty.
"I do not detect any presence."
There was none.
"I'm sure this is the room, I feel it clearly."
The sorceress walked towards the main hall, the sides of the stairs, a carpet on the floor that seemed to form a cross, where all roads met. Rena also warned that energy, but saw nothing.
Aisha, led by the trail of magic, he stopped in the middle of the room.
"Is right here."
The young man turned to his two companions.
"I am not mistaken, is certainly here!"
"AISHA BEHIND!"
While she was talking, a purple blaze started from under the floor, a monstrous hand emerged from the ground, the sound of chains being dragged boomed between the walls.
The demon showed the girls in all its power, Aisha teleported away, now she could see him. Purple tunic, chains, purple flames on his hands, but the thing that was most striking was the body. There was not. It was just a ball of energy glowing purple, as a core, pulsing with life. That ball was the origin of the aura.
Rena was nauseated.
"This energy is really ..."
... disgusting, was about to say.
That force had nothing to do with nature, was the exact opposite, smelled of death.
"Magnificent."
The only word that came from Aisha's mouth , the eyes of the sorceress were lured into a hypnotic from the sphere of energy that was the core of the demon, Amethyst.
The demon did not wait, launched suffered the first stroke. Amethyst will throw a purple mist-like object from his hands That acts as a boomerang, aiming straight at Eve. The Nasod was invested by the energy and fell to the ground.
"Eve!"
"Unacceptable."
Eve set to attack Moby and Remy, the two tried to hit him, but the demon was fast, he managed to dodge all the shots.
Another energy beam was fired from purple Amethyst, the target was Aisha, the sorceress teleported just in time to avoid being hit. Rena threw four arrows in rapid succession against him, but the arrows pierced the body of the demon.
"What ?!"
"The core! That's what we have to strike! "
Cried Aisha, Monster was the equivalent of a real ghost! Once you hit the nucleus would go to ground too.
The sorceress teleported again, coming close to Amethyst, Aisha casts a stone from Hell That continuously spins in front of her. But the demon was clever, as Aisha, he was able to teleport, avoid the blow of the sorceress.
"Oberon! Cut! "
Eve called Oberon, quickly threw himself against the demon, pulling blows to hit him, but Amethys was fast, dodged the blows with skill, in a moment he was behind the servant imposing his hand against his back, let out a heavy discharge of dark energy sent to earth Oberon.
"Really ... useless!"
Poor Oberon ...
"I have to hit the core, right?"
Rena lifted her bow, three arrows magical chased the Amethyst, putando to the core, as the demon tried to teleport away, he could not dodge and arrows against crashed into its core, striker.
The girls cheered for a moment, but it was not finished, he was still standing!
"It takes a bit 'of energy!"
The Dark Magician used her magic to enhance her and her companions, so they could shoot down Amethyst faster.
The demon, however, was not stopped. Having the chance, Amethyst will conjure up a rain of dark energy diving down at girl's side. When the rain touched their skins, this began to suck them off the energy, albeit slowly.
"If we suck away the mana is the end!"
Amethys had understood the weakness of the human ones, clasped his hands, calling to his servants, two blazes purple and new enemies realized.
Two Mana Eater were evoked by Amethyst, Aisha saw them just in time, managed to teleport away from the two, but Rena, the elf was hit by both, remained without mana fell to the ground, exhausted.
"Ahh!"
"Oberon! Cut! NOW! "
The two mana Eater were sliced, from the blade of Oberon, this time the Nasod had managed to hit, field of blue energy rolled on the ground, but before he could reach her Rena, Aisha was to take possession.
" I borrow this!"
The Dark Magician stole the mana of Rena, welcoming it within themselves. She had prepared a special magic for types demanding as Amethyst!
"Let's see if you can dodge this!"
Aisha freed all her magical power, the body of the girl became bright. Grinned.
"Plasma Cutter!"
Aisha points her finger and casts a laser straight ahead, this struck in all directions, as Amethyst tried to escape the laser reached every corner, and was finally struck.
The demon began to writhe, the dark rain disappeared, as well as its negative influence, as long as the ground there remained only the tunic ...
Aisha panted for a sec, but still smile.
Rena sighed.
"You did it."
Although to defeat that demon, Aisha had not hesitated to leave her with no forces ...Rena would make her pay.
"No need to push yourself, I'm the great Aisha. You can't win."
The sorceress walked toward the remains of the demon, noticing something among his clothes. The core was still intact. The sorceress picked it up.
Eve and Rena came.
"We should destroy it."
Rena said.
"I agree."
Aisha looked at the ball of light that he had in his hands, only a magician of his caliber could understand the real value of that sphere. It was not just a core, that was pure power.
For her, that she had lost her magical powers in a manner so silly, that was a real opportunity, a delicacy. She could not allow the elf and Nasod destroy, a ball so precious to her than trying the quickest way to recover her magic.
She smiled.
"But I have a better idea."
Aisha continued to smile, a smile that does not promise anything good.
"This will become mine ...!"
Aisha squeezed the ball in her hands. The core of dark energy shone, Rena and Eve they were dazzled, Aisha felt that energy was extremely strong, but she would have dominated, imposed its will on that core, the was rejecting her, but she was stronger. Forced the energy sphere to merge with her, making that would release energy throughout the entire inside her small body.
"Aisha! What are you doing ?! "
The light became more understanding, Rena and Eve were forced to close their eyes, but once you open the sorceress had disappeared.
"Aisha ...?"
"No longer detect Aisha presence."
Eve was certain, Aisha was no longer here.
Rena was speechless, where she was? Had disappeared? She was dead?
Why she had done such a thing ?!
"EVE GO BACK TO THE OTHERS! CALL THEM HERE!"
Rena was in a panic, he did not know where to look for Aisha.
"Roger."
The Nasod flew off at great speed, and return to find the others. Rena was left alone in front of the altar, trying to feel the energy of the sorceress. But nothing.
Aisha was gone.
