~Chapter 64: Out In Battle~
The next morning, Seris and Alex were welcomed with a bright smile from Rena who had woken up, a sad smile from Raven, and suspicious glances from the others. Even the king himself was wary of the two guests. Seris cold feel cold shivers going through her spine. Alex merely ignored the suspicious stares and made himself comfortable.
Breakfast went along peacefully. A silence that went on, but it was not of an awkward silence. Raven was surprised at the peaceful silence. He took quick glances at Seris and quickly looked away when they made eye contact. Rena noticed these quick glances and smiled softly with a certain, familiar emotion coming back to her. Their king coughed softly as he grabbed their attention.
"Today... Is another day of war. I will be joining the battle this time, so hopefully you guys will watch over Hamel while I'm gone."
"... I would like to fight for Hamel. Please let me fight."
Eve immediately spoke up without a hint of hesitation. Chung choked on his food as a certain image of her entered his mind. He abruptly stood up and spoke without hesitation.
"I would like fight in place of you! Father, I'm your son and not once have I fought in your place. This time, I'll fight. And also... I want to protect Eve out there as well..."
"Then I'll go as well. I have nothing else to do other than... Taking care of Aisha."
Elsword had a faint blush from remembering his recent activity. Rena giggled softly, staring at Elsword's blush. Curator was surprised with their attitude. He smiled softly before nodding his head.
"Rena, Raven, Ara... Stay in the palace and watch over it. There are things to do here."
They immediately understood Elsword's words. What he actually meant was to watch over Seris and Alex's actions as closely possible. Ara gave them a thumbs-up as from the corner of her eyes, she stared at the two suspicious people. Rena and Raven nodded their heads silently. Their roles were divided. Chung, Eve, and Elsword are going in war against Altera. Raven, Rena, and Ara will be watching over the palace.
Soon enough, Chung, Eve, and Elsword were dressed in their gear, ready for battle. Leaving the gates, citizens cheering them on and soldiers following them with deep respect. As they walked through territory, time pass by peacefully. Eve kept track of monitoring both Hamel and Altera's side.
"Sword Blasting."
There was a swift movement within the bushes, Eve's screen gave out a sharp sound as a red dot appeared. Elsword immediately head out with his blade in hand. He thrust it forward, stabbing his target before letting the three formed Cornwells piercing his target. Blue sparks of electricity flowed around as he threw his target out for view.
"A Nasod.. Altera.. Is here."
Upon those words, a huge fist came crashing down. Within a moment, Eve pushed herself and Chung out of the way as half of their army were crushed from the sheer strength of fist. A soft giggled sounded out as Eve immediately recognized their opponent.
"Apple.."
"Oh my. Princess Eve is also here? That's no good. I can't hurt you..."
"Why are you here?"
"By the orders of our King. Proto and I have permission to leave the academy for temporarily and help Altera out in times of war. Of course, the academy was quiet without you and the others around to keep us company~"
"Cut the crap."
Elsword charged forward using brute strength, aiming his sharp blade at Apple's neck. She dodged it as Charon clashed blade with Elsword. Eve's attention was on another rather than Apple. Ignotum smirked lightly before charging forward. Apple, sensing Ignotum charging forward, she called back Charon who carried her out of the way. Ignotum crashed into Elsword, pushing him back greatly. Elsword could feel a sharp pain going through him. Chung immediately fired a set of homing missiles that went after Ignotum.
"Energetic Heart! Particle Ray!"
This gave Elsword enough time to retreat and Eve enters battle with one of her own. Blue electron wings formed from her bare back. A condensed beam of particles was released from Eve's fingers as it divides into multiple beams that targeted Ignotum. However, the homing missiles from Chung's Destroyer and Eve's condensed beams of particles barely made a dent to his armor.
"Giga Stream!"
"Rage Cutter!"
Behind the hill was Proto and a large group of Nasods and also civilians of Altera. An aura of killing surrounded them as they waited for their bait. Eve cursed silently under her breath as she gathered a certain amount of energy, concentrating it into pure power as she creates a large force field. Elsword immediately appeared behind Eve, stabbing his Cornwell into the ground, creating a magic circle, summoning mini-Cornwells that erupt from it.
Chung immediately sneaked away from the eyes of the enemy. He went through certain short cuts as he watched Proto and her army carefully. His helmet covered his face as he rushed out. In a swift movement, he jumped into the air before rocketing forward, impacting the ground.
Proto was caught by surprise as Chung locked her in his continuous assault. He immediately swung his Destroyer around causing some Nasods to be flung back, crashing into their comrades. He sent Proto into the air and immediately fired off strong blasts. A Nasod appeared and attempt to slash him, however Chung released a blast from his Destroyer.
'I won't let anyone shed any drop of my blood. I'm going to destroy them before they destroy me.'
"Carpet Bombing! Dread Chase!"

I just found out what the wedding skill is and it's effects. :3 Oh yes, my list of skills for my Deadly Chaser and Infinity Sword will soon be finished! :D By the way.. I'm going to try to use the new skills when Assassin's Love is out and when they give us full information on the skills. Eternal Soulmates... The current skills/old skills will be used~
Here are my replies to my reviewers~
The Cynical Asian: Yeah, eventually.. XP I don't think I've lost to a Raven before.. *hands you a dynamite* Here you go~ :3 *cheers and gives you tray of brownies* I won~ :3 Get inspiration from listening to music and focus on the lyrics and think about them! Do not worry! You'll be saved one day. :D
CHANELE SOLAR SYSTEM WOLF: O A O Oh god. Seris! Get ready to be butchered...
sOdAPopgrl133: No worries! It'll be daily and two days. :D Well, I don't blame you. At least you try to update as often as you can. :) Thank you for your compliments. XD I don't particularily care much for other pairings, but I must be fair to all couples. :D I'm honored to be praised by one of my favorite authors! :3 In fact, you're my first favorite Cheve author. You sound unnatural...? XD Eh, I prefer any kind of way you review. You might be serious, but at least your words are meaningful. :D
Konjiki No Yami: XD Elsword... You disgusting pig? Insolent fool? XD Oh, I don't know about Seris now.
Kat Neko983: Your 2nd time being a reviewer one shot person. XD Alright, Elsword x Kat and Angel x Ace pairings in one story? Yes, my queen. :) It's not too much, so no worries!
YZ19: :D Me too! And thank you for your compliments!
Tsurara-Oikawa Chan: XD Of course, since I'm following it closely and reading your brother's mind. ;D I know, you shouldn't be too excited. XP My RS friend.. She was killing herself over it. :x Code Nemesis's skills were a bit easier because I play one and researched it carefully. ;) Deadly Chaser... I play one, researched and it's still too hard! Nice! :3 Glad to hear your friend getting a B rank. Yeah, it's long because she reviewed long. XD Hope you'll love your glasses. :D
Orithia WindBell: XD Aye! Poor Elsword! XD Because he figured that Rena would be with Raven at the moment, so he'd rather do it himself. He's independent. XD She'll forever hate him.. That means devastation! OAO Well, Rena and Raven are hesitating while the others are obviously suspicious of them. Ooh, hell. :x Well, you gained your freedom! :D
WitchOfMadness: Woot! And it's alright~ You can review anytime!
Sweet Trickster: Of course. They're not doing anything in the bed yet. XD Elsword is obviously shy around girls. XD Well, your guesses are great, but they're not correct. :x I'm not tired of words like that. XD You're welcome, plus the idea is nice. :) I know all those songs~ :3 I researched as many songs of them as I can. Well, I meant manga, anime, and books. XD But I do have a attraction to the songs as well. :D I've listened to them already. :3 And thanks, I'm better now. :D
Kiyo-Kun Bladeheart: Yay~ *pats your head* ;D They are bold. I wonder if you and Sera are as bold as them. ;P And.. Be a good boyfriend and do just like Elsword. XD
Someone I: Thanks for your "compliments" :P And I don't particularily care if you think it's weird or not. Not suit to your tastes, then try reading RubyCrusade's stories, The Cynical Asian, MarioFireRed, Orithia WindBell, Kiyo-Kun Bladeheart, An0n Author, Infinitespada, Tsurara-Oikawa Chan and a lot more which I do not think I can name them all. Your review is perfect for advertising, but unfortunately I couldn't name all of the authors.. I fail. OAO Or you can try to be an author and show everyone your potential? :P
BIAxDiA: She is... Technically~ I can't imagine it either, that's why.. Borrowing comes in mind. XD It's hard to ignore. XD Plus.. I can't be rude to someone who reviewed. XD Well, I don't particularily mind. So no worries and cheer up, ne? :D
RubyCrusade: The world is cruel.. :x And I'm glad to be one of those authors to convince you. :) I don't know why, but I think they're just confused. OAO Dirty Aisha?! Well, it's not desperate.. O: Oh! Anti-Situational! :D Junk Break.. It's just.. It's too easy to mana-break. :x I aim for the effective skills. XD Queen's Throne and SharpShooter Syndrome. To make it more even..? They gave CN's Elegant Steps out to CBS. And I don't see Photon Booster on CE/CN... I want CN to be even stronger. OAO And poor IS. Well, I feel sad for KR Elsword... XD Poor Elboy, getting dropped someday. *sighs* People these days.. Pairing certain people up. XD I've seen the video and it's amazing. The skill is better than the original.. Surprisingly. Yeah, but I'm not that okay with DC's skills. :x I want Proto's spear garden as well... I might do it, but no guarantee. XD You have many stories to update, but they're long and worth to wait for!
Helringo: might be murdered... Ara! *holds Ara hostage* XD Writer's powers.
xXkito-kunXx: Aye! Very reckless!
An0n Author: O A O This is war. *calls out all Epic NPC's, excluding Proto* Go! Destroy them! *Epic NPC's, Elgang of all classes destroys you* Well play...? Well dead? :D
BlueMoSkys: XD I don't think so... She'll slap him lightly. XD Well, your reasoning for the song is pretty good. :D
CodeEmpress: Echo is not that innocent. XD And it's war on the airship!
