~Chapter 55: No Mere Bombardment~
Eve slammed her drones against Elsword and Elsword found himself kissing the hard, cold ground. Thanks to Eve, Elsword was saved from a sharp blade. Elsword was thankful, but at the same time, annoyed at how Eve managed to save him.
Rena silently crept across the walls until she noticed the walls starting to open up small holes with arrows. She silently jumped off the walls to land on the ground, however... The ground split apart and sharp spikes appeared. Arrows were fired and aimed for her. Rena screamed loudly while Chung jumped from an edge, rocketing forward, grabbing Rena by her waist and landed on a safe area.
"Rena?! Are you okay?!"
"Y-Yeah! Chung saved me!"
Aisha sighed in relief as a spike headed for her head as she levitated in the air. Rena's sharp eyes caught this, as she held her bow up. Swiftly, she released three piercing arrows that went in three ways. One of them clashed with the spike heading for Aisha as it exploded. Aisha got away safely before releasing a glowing blue sphere of energy from her staff.
"Magic Missile!"
"Thousand Star! Energetic Heart! Giga Stream!"
"Scare Chase!"
A special gear was summoned behind her as glowing electron wings spurt from her back as she released a beams of condensed energy. The beams went in many directions as Chung released series of exploding missiles towards the traps. Ara grabbed Elsword by his shirt and ran across the room, jumping over traps swiftly.
Within a moment, the area was in ruins as the gang escaped successfully. Elsword spotted a miniature Wally. He smirked lightly, impaling his blade into the hard metal before an even larger one appeared.
Elsword retreated as a metallic arm headed for him. Chung went and blocked the attack with his Destroyer. Ara jumped out from behind and swiftly impaled him with her spear. However, it wasn't enough... A red light surrounded the larger Wally and Ara was pushed back.
"Phoenix Strike!"
"Infernal Wave!"
"Dimension Link Guardian!"
A blazing arrow was fired a sit rapidly formed a large flaming phoenix that penetrated its enemy. Aisha swiftly slammed her staff against the Nasod and quickly released a shocking Lightning Bolt and finished her attack off with a blazing Meteor Call. Eve pointed her finger at the Nasod and behind her was a portal. Behind that portal, glowing red eyes appeared as it jumped out as it bowed down slightly with its hand on its chest before slamming a fist down onto the ground. In a moment, the area was in flames, including the Nasod.
Eve walked out from behind the destructive flames with a poker face. Elsword began to wonder if she knows how intimidating she currently looks. Chung chuckled softly as he read Elsword's expression. Finally, they continued on their way.
On surface, Raven watched over Aren and Elsa. Elsa wasn't breathing nor was her heart beating. Aren's breathing was heavy and his heartbeats were faint. Raven looked down from the ship and found himself staring at the a certain place.
'Altera?! We're already in Altera?! Impossible! No matter how fast this ship is, it should be in Bethma! There are Nasods on this ship, and Altera has been known for the creation of Nasods and they've been on terrible terms with Hamel. Hamel... This ariship's purpose... Is it really going to destroy Hamel or... It has a different purpose that's hidden?'
On the ground, citizens of Altera stared at the airship soaring through the sky. They grew nervous as they feared for a battle.
"Mama... When is the war going to end?"
"Soon... This tragedy will end. Don't cry.."
A pale mother with dark hair that was braided tried to smile brightly for her son, however, it turned into a sad one. As she bit back the tears behind her eyes, her son couldn't do anything for his mother as he stared blankly at her.
In another family, they prayed for the end of this war. As long as the war goes on, then there won't be any peace. Every citizen of Altera had many things in common... Tragedy and the wish to be in peace with Hamel. The on-going war... Will merely kill them all.
From the palace, Ignotum smiled darkly as the Cargo Airship was soaring through the sky. Oberon and Ophelia stayed by his side, hiding their emotions as they remained silent.
'Hamel... A mere bombardment is not enough...'
'If Hamel were to lose everything.. What would they do? What if Hamel's existence were to erased from history forever and... Where Hamel lies, is where the tragedy will be cast upon them.'
Their fists clenched tightly while Ignotum stood up from his throne and walked towards the balcony where he chuckled.
"Soon... Hamel will be gone."
Back on the airship, Elsword slammed his head against the wall as they were forced into a dead end. The Wally's fired their lasers as Aisha casted a spell at the same. Dust were gathered and rapidly formed a statue of herself. The lasers were absorbed as they were safe from the barrage of attacks. Aisha raised her staff and levitated into the air as she casts flaming meteors.
"Meteor Shower!"
"Phantom Sword!"
The statue disappeared as Elsword rushed with an independent blade behind him. He took down the remaining the Nasods. Aisha and Elsword gave each other a high five as they respected each other's skill.
"Scare Chase!"
Chung slammed his Destroyer down and reloaded it before a homing missile was fired as it collided with a wall, creating a medium sized explosion and a large hole in the wall. Behind that wall...
"Oh? You already reached to this point? Congratulations. It looks like I can't avoid being the bad person hurting innocent little brats who don't know their own limits."
Glowing amber eyes glared at them with an arrogant smirk. Ara glared back with her own deathly glare. Her grip on her weapon tighten as she proceeds to approach him, however Aisha stopped her from doing so. Chung's expression darkens as each second passes. His Destroyer was fully reloaded and Chung was the first to rush in.
"Detonation!"
He thrust his Destroyer against Wally from behind as he boosted himself with a blast. Chung released barrages of powerful blasts from his Destroyer. Wally spun around and clashed his metallic arm against Chung'd Destroyer with a faint blue fight surrounding him.
"Photon Flash!"
"Call of Ruin!"
Eve immediately interrupted Wally's next attack with a plasma dummy. It exploded within contact. Eve grabbed Chung's hand and managed to pull him away. Rena appeared with spheres of energy were released. It extended large, sharp spikes in an instant as she created a wide slash, causing them to explode, however... It made almost to no damage.
"What?!"
"Rena! Don't use any physical attacks!"
"As expected of Eve of Altera... She has already figured out why."
Aisha focused on Wally's appearance as his core was lighted up with a yellow glow. Her eyes widened in shock.
'When did it light up?! It was clearly inactive until now. Was it because of Chung's initial attack? But.. It was magical based.. Or was it because of Rena? Her previous attack was physical, but... She attacked after.. Wally's tactics are different..?'
~Author's Note~
And we'll stop there. I had an amazing time in Knott's! And I got an award along with Obama's letter.. Anyways.. In Knott's, my group of 4... We were soaked from top to bottom in Big Foot Rapids.
And the Log Ride was fun, but... The positions were awkward! One of my other friends who was in another group, joined us in the Log Ride. She was at the back, I'm in front of her, and my best friend is in front of me while my other two teammates were in the front seat. We all sat down, and... The friend behind me.. Ate my hair. O A O!
And my last ride was Ghost Rider. The drops were terrifying and... My best friend somehow managed to convince me going on it. It was so bumpy! Anyways.. We went on more rides, but I'll just you guys the rides I had fun with.
