Chapter 3

Wally could not believed what just happened.

Those "brats" were about to destroy a big part of his army and he still did

not got his hands on Rena's holy elf energy to complete his plan.

But there was no sign of Rena since she went searching for the El-Scouts to ask for

their help.

Nevertheless Wally believed in his plan to become a success since there

was no way for him to be beaten twice by this group.

"There is no way that they can beat my new super invention! HAHAHAHA!"

He said that to himself shaking of any self-doubt.

Aisha still bound at her feet and arms could not believe she was so helpless

at a time like this.

If it were not for the Mana seals, she could have easily unlocked them.

Another problem was that she felt powerless because her Mana got sucked

up by Wally's weird machines.

"Just you wait Elemental Master! My Nasod will defeat your friends right

in front of your eyes and the Grand Archer will become mine to complete the

functions of my ultimate Nasod!"

"Why don't you fight by yourself? You coward!"

"Fight by myself you say? Why would I, a god have to fight such

unworthy creatures?"

"You...!"

"Do you see what I mean?"

He pointed with his finger at Raven who has been smashed through

the entire hall against a wall leaving a big crater.

"Uff... that damn Nasod...!"

"Raven..."

Raven could not hear Aisha because they were too far away.

"I have to get more time!"; he knew that he was not able to beat such

a strong enemy just by himself but at least he could damage the thing.

Raven jumped out of the crater falling directly on a platform beneath him. Readying himself he jumped a few meters in the air.

"Shock Wave!"

He slashed his sword down into the air causing a big shock-wave

which materialized and got bigger with every meter on the way to its

target.

The huge shock-wave hit the Nasod directly and left a huge scar in its

chest.

"ERROR, SERIOUS DAMAGE TAKEN, ACTIVATING DEFENSIVE

SHIELD"

"What's he talking about?!"

Raven rushed forward again. He won't allow the Nasod to recover from the

huge scar he had caused in his chest.

"BESERKER BLADE!"

His blade suddenly stopped as if something was protecting the Nasod.

"Impossible..."

Again, the giant Nasod moved and smashed Raven through the entire hall

again.

"AGH...!"

"Why didn't my blade go further? It was like an invincible wall

protecting it. Furthermore it seems like his scar keeps closing... What the

heck is going on here?"; Raven thought of a solution of his big problem but

could not find any.

"Hahaha... You are too stupid to get an answer. So let me tell you that the

shield is created from the Elemental Master's Mana!

She would be the only one who could damaged my invention. What a pity

for you that she is my hostage now!"

"Tch! Damn old jerk...what is he trying to say?!"; Raven thought

about what he has told him.

"Magic! You have to use magical attacks!"

Wally instantly grabbed her mouth at once and sealed it. She

struggled but there was no help after all.

"At least I could help them a bit..."; Aisha thought for herself.

"This is bad..."; Raven whispered. Since Eve uses only a bit of

magical attacks, but still was stuck up there and Elsword was a

physical fighter as well as Raven. It was like everything had

gone as planned by Wally.

-Deus Ex Nasod- charged at Raven again.

Even if it was tall about ten feet, it moved incredibly fast for its

size.

The Nasod shot a yellow laser which he barely managed to dodge and

jumped away.

"Ugh!"

Again the Nasod fired a second laser which was now unavoidable for

Raven. Suddenly he heard a faint voice which was

familiar to him.

"Please Odin give me strength and assist me in our fight..."

The Nasod shot into the direction of Raven, but because the targeting

process was kind of incomplete, the laser hit the floor first forcing its way

to him.

He closed his eyes and was ready to be hit by the deadly laser.

"GUNGNIR!"

Eight giant arrows looking like spears fell down on the Nasod with

outrageous speed.

They did not just fell down to pierce the opponent in addition to that they

spin with high speed creating tornadoes destroying everything near to

them.

All of the eight spears pierced the shield and even the metallic armour of

the -Deus Ex Nasod- causing it to miss with the laser.

With just a single powerful strike of Gungnir the giant Nasod fell down

like a big tower.

"Phew... I thought I wouldn't make it in time!"

"Rena!"

Shouted all the friends of her relieved about her arrival.

Everyone noticed what just happened as Eve and Elsword kept fighting.

Rena wanted to help Eve and Elsword against their numerous

enemies but got repelled by the shouting Elsword.

"We are fine! Go help Raven and Aisha!"

She stopped for a while and finally nodded rushing to help Raven. He

was still chipped but standing on his feet.

"Rena... thanks for helping me out."

"Hm, hm..." She shook her head. "We are friends after all!"

While smiling at Raven she noticed that Wally still had a serious face.

"No..."; she thought for herself. It was a face of secured victory.

Rena saw that -Deus Ex Nasod- began to move again and just in a

blink of an eye rushed for Rena and Raven.

Raven just managed to turn around not believing that this thing is still

moving and even faster then before. However Rena pushed Raven

away leaving no time for her to escape.

The punch of the Nasod hit her directly and was so strong and fast

that Rena was sent through the entire hall crashing with full speed

into the next corner creating a huge crater.

"RENAAAA!"

Raven shouted with all his might for the elf who was just a second by

his side.

"EMERGENCY BATTLE MODE ACTIVATED, UNLOCKING ALL POWER SUPPLIES."

"Haha, that's right -Deus-! Now finish the others off!"

"You damn piece of junk! I'll tear you to pieces!"

Raven shortly had a check on Rena. Normally a human eye would not see a thing since the distance was too far, but because Raven was half nasod, he recognized that Rena went unconcious

"Eve, I'll assist Raven."

"Go then. I will help your way through."

Both of them already defeated countless enemies, but there seemed to be no end to them.

Raven got enraged by the fact Rena was hurt because of him. He activated his -Awakening Mode- to be certain to finish off -Deus Ex Nosod-.

-Deus moved with such a speed, he could not even recognize that it was in front of him again. It raised its giant arm to crush Raven, but suddenly stopped when the Lord Knight appeared.

"SANDSTORM!"

Raven and Elsword managed to dodge because of -Sandstorm- scattered the vision of the giant nasod.

Raven used this opportunity to get next to the feet of it and

yelled.

"FLYING IMPACT!"

Raven span upwards with indescribable speed cutting any metal and

any cable on his way to the top.

Since -Deus Ex Nasod- shield turned off due to Gungnir, it was now

possible for Raven and Elsword to land some critical hits again.

At the top off the Nasod Raven stopped spinning ax -Deus Ex

Nasod- was split in half and fell to the ground.

Reaching the floor, the Nasod exploded with a huge bang leaving a

huge smoke cloud covering the podium and the entire area around its

graveyard.

Soon Eve got surrounded by soldiers and Nasods.

"BIEP, BIEP, object trapped. Chance of elimination 100%"

"It seems you have miscalculated something."

The shining metal dust aura began to circle faster around her.

The Nasod and some soldiers that were left did not even think

about losing and charged in her direction to defeat her once and for

all.

"Don't you dare underestimate the Queen of Nasod!

Iron Scraps!"

The metallic dust formed into countless sharpened needles piercing armour

of the soldiers and even the steel of the Nasods. Finally there were no

enemies left.

Eve bowed down a bit putting her hands on her knees.

It was her first fight where she drew all of her power and even some of her

back up power.

"I told you to leave the area otherwise you would get hurt."

She spoke to the corpses lying lifeless around her.

"Battle sequence standby. Returning to Standby mode.

Total enemies defeated: 465"

It was a status report sent to Eve by her system. Now the black stingers

behind her back and the metal dust aura were gone also the Nasod Battle

Drones sunk to the ground expressing tiredness.

"Raven you go and have a look on Rena. Wally mustn't lay a finger on

her."

"But Elsword you..."

"Just go! I still have to make up for my mistake!"

"Hmpf... being selfish again!"

Raven turned around with a faint smile on his face.

"Don't you dare lose."

"Heh, like heck I would!"

Both of them ran off into different directions. Since they defeated the

giant Nasod in front of the huge podium, Elsword reached his location

faster than Raven did.

Each step was filled with pain for both of them but Eve did a good

job protecting her friend who were able to recover a bit from his

previous wounds.

But still Elsword had pride in his sword, not leaving all the cover of

him to Eve.

Finally Elsword reached the top of the podium.

Aisha's mouth was still sealed and Wally stood next to her. A mixture

of unbelievable rage and confidence in victory signed Wally's face.

"You still think that you can touch a god?"

"Your troops are gone and that mad Nasod as well! It's over!"

"Haha! I was reborn by someone who programmed the whole Nasod

Core so I do know how to fight all of you!"

Elsword now thought that Wally has gone insane, but it seems there was a true content behind his words. Someone must have resurrected him since he would never survive the fall from the cargo ship.

Wally prepared himself and drew a red light saber, holding it to the right.

In this moment, Elsword was confident that Wally wasn't saying the truth, because he never fought by himself. There was no way that he had fighting skills in his previous life.

Elsword took the fight seriously since he felt that something was wrong with this man.

He briefly looked at Aisha.

"Just you wait. I still have something to tell you."

Elsword now prepared himself and activated his -Awakening Mode- forgetting everything about his injuries, he charged at Wally.

"Hmpf. Look at your boyfriend dying by my hand!"

"Mpf...Mpf!"

Wally slashed directly at Elsword's body but he saw that coming and rolled beside him.

"SONIC BLADE!"

Wally parried Elswords' move without any hesitation. He aimed to

slash Elsword's body again but his instincts saved him avoiding that

slash once more.

"He is fast!"; Elsword talked to himself but in that instant he felt that

something was wrong.

"Aaah...but how...?"

He was sure that he avoided Wally's slash but when he looked down

on his chest there was a huge scar covered with blood running down

from his left shoulder crossing his entire chest.

"If that would have hit me completely I would be cut into half by

now...";

Elsword still asked himself how Wally had managed to hit him while

grabbing his wound.

"Oh congratulations! I thought it would be over by now but at least

you can keep me entertained! Hahaha!"

"Just what are you?!"

Without waiting for an answer Elsword kicked off the ground and

attacked him again. His sword and the light-saber crossed several

times but Wally only parried and slashed little by little back at

Elsword not aiming for any vital points. Elsword's movement became

slower in the upshot and he sunk down on his knees.

"You bastard... are you making fun of me?"

Elsword noticed that Wally was just parrying his attacks. Wally could have

slashed him several times but hesitated.

"No. I just keep entertaining myself... but it's boring by now... Say farewell

little brat!"

Wally raised his deadly red light-saber.

"I will finish you and your companions off and finally get the Grand Archer in

my hands! I can always reproduce -Deus Ex Nasod-. Though it consumed

much effort I am going to make you pay for IT!"

"NOOO! ELSWORD!"

Finally Aisha loosened the grip of her seal attached to her mouth. Elsword

looked angrily at Wally's face while his saber went down.

Time had nearly stopped for him. Elsword could have not accepted that he

is going to be killed by him though he managed to wake up from his

hallucination and fought his way through the enemies to get that far.

Suddenly Elsword noticed a blue shining projectile behind Wally's back.

It flew with an outrageous speed and was even faster then Wally's deadly

strike aimed at Elsword.

The projectile hit the left arm of Wally just in time with a giant impact due

to its speed and separated Wally's arm from his body.

"AAAAAGH!"

Elsword did not know where the thing was shot from and did not

even know who.

Nevertheless there was no time to miss the chance as raised his

body again.

"GIGANTIC SLASH!"

Elsword's sword grew twice as big as the flowing energy made Wally unable to move. What ocurred next were countless amounts of slashes aimed at Wally. All of Elsword's attacks sliced several pieces of Wally.

"YEAEAAAAH!"

Elsword finished of his attack with one final slash in the air.

"NO! THIS CAN"T BE HAPPENING! I WAS GOING TO WIN! I WON'T ALLOW THIS! NOOOOOOOO!" shouted Wally as yelled his final breath.

Several pieces of his body went lost. Elsword barely stayed conscious

and rammed his sword to the ground while sinking onto his knees.

What he didn't know was that someone else was indeed at the laboratory. He was a man who was around Elsword's age, wielding a cannon and had a smile on his face.

"He'll thank me later." he said as he left the crumbled up Laboratory.
