Chapter 31
The flying menace
Rift Tunnel
3rd PoV
"Elsword its been so long." Elsword holds Elesis tighter. "Yea too long sis." He says. "Aww isn't that sweet." Speka nudges Luto with her elbow. "Well it certain makes things much more interesting." He says grabbing Speka's arm to make her stop.
"So what shall you two do now? Velder is still at war, and something is going to happen in Feita very soon due to Berthe." He says looking at them carefully.
They separated wordless. "I, We know that. We know we can't just go home and live in ignorance of what is happening." Elsword says looking down. "Elsword..." was all Elesis could say.
"Sis. I will handle things in Feita, you go and aid Velder, I'm sure the need you." Elesis shakes her head. "I'm under imprisonment for disobeying orders." She crosses her arms.
"I can help with that." Speka claims from behind them. "Im sure with a bit of my charm, i could turn the princess mind up side down." She salutes them with a smile.
"Well then. Elesis." Luto calls out to her. "You will to need a weapon as that wont suffice for long." He says and Elsword walks over to him. "Im sure you find one for her then?" He says and Luto puts a hand to his chin. "Perhaps, but not in this region. None will be able to suit her needs, but i can do a search." He says and Elsword nods and walks back out the tunnel.
"See ya sis." He says and walked through the rift. "See ya lil bro." She says happily. "Well Ele we got work to do! first we need to find where the queen is." Speka grabs her arm and walks over opposite of where Elsword left. "But-" She was cut off by Speka.
"Just sit back and let me do all the hard work for once.~"
Velder Residential Area
Elesis's PoV
We came out the rift and i instantly recognized where we were. The place was a mess and many bodies lay on the ground. "Seems the demons just came through." I squat to the ground. The bodies still had fresh cuts in them so this didn't happen not too long ago.
"Well seems they have this area under their control. If we don't stop them, the last camp will be taken." Speka says without any real care. I guess she doing care who won the war.
"Lets go." I say firmly and Speka jumps up. "Oh! so much vigor! seeing your brother must have perked you up." Of course! seeing family is sometimes all you need!
"Lets get you better suited for such an occasion though." She said and waved her hand. My body glowed and I was in a white shirt with black shorts and black thigh high boots. "WHAT IS THS!" I yelled at her and she covered her ears with a smile. I can't wear this kind of stuff on the field, I'm a warrior not a fashion model!
"Wow you look good in that. Wonder what else you could rock with that body." Ok now this just weird. I just flare her and she sighs. "Finnnnne." My body glowed and I was back in my Red Knights armor.
"Well then you can use this." She waves her hand and a claymore appears in front of me. The blade was black with a white edge and the hilt was in the shape of a star with a crescent shape at the end of the handle.
"How do you.." I grab the sword and it was like grabbing nothing. It was incredibly light. "That is sword is something i made for fun. Use as much as you want." She says and grabs my hand and flew to the sky. "To the battle grounds!" She says and was about to fly off but then...
"E-excuse me?" A girls voice was behind us and we looked back. It was a girl with long black hair and orange and red eyes. She had a shy an somewhat scared vibe around her.
"Who are you?" I asked her. She fiddles with her spear and looks up at me. "I hail from Fahrmann. I request you aid." Wow she has a accent. I could tell you weren't from here without even telling me.
"Why?" I asked her and she stays quiet for a bit and then answers. "I know who is behind the invasion." She says and Speka zooms past me.
"You do!, were you close with?, Did he display any kind of symptoms? how long was it before he- hey hey don't cry I'm asking questions here!" Speka just isn't meant for human contact i swear.
I gently push her away from the poor girl. "Excuse her. Anyway if you really know who is behind the invasion, then you should come with us, but if you don't want to talk about it then you don't have to." I put my hand on her should and she wipes her eyes.
"Yes! i thank thee with heart of appreciation." She bows while saying that.
Yea she not from around here. I wonder what Els would say about her.
The Next Day
Feita Camp
Morning
Elsword's PoV
The rift transported me to the cavern where Aisha found her staff.
Stepping out the rift really felt weird, like all my organs moving around in my body. I also can't walk straight and i feel like i could fall over if i walk to fast. I saw a soldier and they went to go tell Lento i was here.
"Els!' I was almost tackled down by Aisha and Rena. "Hey." I say but they frowned at me. "Where were you! do you know how long you were away?!" Rena jabbed her finger in my chest. I felt a hand on my shoulder and saw Raven shaking his head. "You had us worried." Huh?
They told its been a week since i was last seen and was planning to go out and find me. It seems that rift distorted the time here somehow. Was Luto a time mage then?
After we were reunited we went to Allegro and Lento for news. They said that the last area to take over was the Spire, but we had to get to the heart to be able to get to the Shrine. So close yet so far.
I also told them what happened while i was away and possibly why so much time passed. They were at first thought i was crazy but then began to believe when i said Luto was with me.
"So should we head out?" I asked everyone and they all nodded. Lets see how Durendal lives up to what Luto says.
The Spire
A level that was below the Shrine of Dedication. It is directed above the Underground Garden and used to get to the Shrine. It had teleportation runes that doubled as doorways. It was essentially a large underground tower that started for the Underground Garden.
We made it all the way through the garden, which was now simpler since there was teleport rune inside the Chapel and it helped us get to the center of it. Allegro also gave a small sheet that gave descriptions of each glitter in xase we ran into some.
We got there and Eve alerted us of nearby movement. We immediately knew glitters were here and went on alert. The glitters were different however. They had red skin with blue markings on their bodies with purplw armor. Guess they were a different breed or elite soldiers i could only assume.
I was ahead along with Eve. Rena and Aisha behind with Raven in the back.
We stopped at the entrance of the hall and got prepared ourselves. "Alright. Aisha, cast your buff spell on us first." She nodded and casted her strengthen and Fortify spell on us. Perfect.
"Me and Raven will handle the glitter guards and protectors. Eve will take out the stone gargoyles that try and attack us. Aisha will stall the glitter dashers as well as the stone golems. Rena will provide backup to me and Raven." I say and they all nod in agreement.
I pull out Durendal from my back and pointed it forward. I was feeling pretty good. I just got a new sword that was said to be unbreakable and i saw my sister, all in one day. Im gonna go full power on these guys.
3rd PoV
Elsword and Raven dashed in front and charged the glitters, alerting them of their presence. Raven jumped up and swung his blade down, creating a shockwave. The shockwave struck and caused a smokescreen and Elsword charged in.
Eve flew up and and began firing at the flying gargoyles. They tried to maneuver but Eve's precise firing rate was giving them no room to do such. When the smoke cleared, They crew advanced further.
Glitters began to swarm more from their posted areas to stop the crew. "Wind blast!" Rena fired multiple wind arrows at the golems shooting them down instantly. "Storm Front!" Aisha used Leviathan to create a powerful wind barrier around Raven as a few bashers had gotten close to him.
They were progressing through withoit problems and made it to the third level of five before Eve grabbed Elsword's attention.
"Elsword, a new glitter has arrived. It has black armor as well as having a large flail." Ahe said and Elsword nodded. "Eve switch with Rena. Rena is aerial support and Eve is my backup. Aisha, help out Raven." He says and charges with Eve close behind him.
Elsword swung Durendel, killing all the glitters that were in his way. The large black armored glitter swung its flail at Elsword and Eve. Eve grabbed Elsword's hand flew up with him.
"Burning Ash!" Elsword spat out ash fire at the glitter, covering it and its vision. The glitter struggled to the ash out its eye but was no use. Remy then fired a beam that ignited the ash and created an explosion.
The glitter was already dead and other glitters began to run away. "Storm front!" Aisha created the wind barrier in front of the glitters that tried to escape. "Ah ah ah~"
The crew were at the end of the final hall and looked around for the next teleportation rune but it was nowhere to be found. "Huh that's strange." Aisha says aloud. "I guess we go here." Raven points to the other side.
It was a cut off trail with swinging platforms by chains. "And the stairs are on that side as well." Raven continues and Rena sweatdrops. "Eve think you can carry us one by one?" She says and Eve nods. "Just one and then a break for im not used for such tasks."
"Well ill cross by jumping." Elsword said. "Same." Raven joins. "You guys just dont want to be carried by girls." Aisha says with a smirk. The boys flinched a bit but waved it off.
Eve took Aisha first and flew to the other side while Elsword and Raven jumped on the platforms. "That blue light must be from the garden." Aisha says while she crosses over with Eve. Aisha and Eve and it over first but then the place began to rumble.
Elsword and Raven stopped and grabbed onto the chains to support it from breaking. A roared then followed and out from the depths came a large figure.
It was a large blue wyvern with red scaly skin and yellow eyes. It had white horns on its head that trailed down to its tail with dark green plate armor on its body and legs.
It roared shaking the chains and then charged a fire attack. It opened its mouth and a small fire ball began to grow bigger slowly. "Raven! back!" Elsword shouted and Raven jumped as fast as he could. The wyvern swallowed the ball and reared its head back before opening its mouth and released a gout of flames at the platforms.
Elsword jumped up as high as he could and Eve came by to grab him. She held him by one arm while he carried his sword in his other arm. The dragon then glowed a green glow and a spell circle appeared at its mouth. "It can use magic too?" Elsword said in amazement.
Small green orbs formed around its body and began to fire at Eve and Elsword. Eve evaded them but then found they could track their movements. "Eve, drop me over to Raven and go get Aisha, we are retreating for now." He said and Eve nods.
She threw him to the other side and he rolled to the ground. The wyvern then charged at Raven and Elsword and they rolled out of its charge. "Piecing arrow!" Rena shot a single high speed arrow but the Wyvern managed to get out of its way in time.
It flew up and shot more blast at them. They jumped out the way and the place began to crack and crumble. Eve came back with Aisha and they all ran to the teleportation rune.
They teleported and tried to catch their breath. "What the-" Aisha was cut off when they heard the Wyverns roar and it came up from the side. It shot more fire balls at them and they started to run again.
Whenever they made it back to a rune, the Wyvern would be there right after them to attack.
They made it back with burns, scrapes, and bruises. They were in the Underground garden now and sat down in front of the door. Eve was standing since she flew, but could not have carried them since she would have reduced her speed that way.
"That thing knows that place like the back of its wind." Rena said leaning on Elsword panting. "It could use wind magic it seems." Aisha informed and Elsword nodded. "Yea we have to get back to camp and think of a way to take care of that thing." Elsword says.
Elsword gets up but was pulled on. "Els carry me." Aisha holds out her arms like a child. "sure." He swats down and she gets on his back. "Big baby." Rena says and Raven chuckles while Aisha pouts. "At least i don't have to walk.
Feita camp site.
Evening
Aisha's PoV
We made it back by sun down. and reported to Lento and Allegro. From the information we got, the wyvern's name was Stark. Now we have to find a way to take it out.
We told them that Stark could take on magical attacks and could dodge Rena's fastest arrow. So he has magical protection and speed as well as magic aptitude. That is one powerful familiar.
They say they will have something by tomorrow so we decided to just rest until then.
Me and Elsword stayed up and examined each others weapon. So this is sword that can't break? Fits this guy perfectly since he broke all his last ones. "The staff uses sage energy as well as magical energy. It can switch between them instantly, but requires mana to do so." Elsword says aiming the staff. How did he-
He fired a fire blast in the air that was white? "How did you do that?" He did something i could not have even done. "Regulus, the lion that's inside told me about it." He sets the staff down and breaths out. "I'm not really a mage type so that took a lot out of me."
"Heh, leave that to me, you just charge while i back you up." I nudge his shoulder and he smiles. "They say Stark is a familiar right?" He changes the subject and looks at me. "Yea why?" He looks up into the dark sky.
"If we can manage to defeat it, we can make it your familiar." Huh! even i could i doubt ill be able to control a wyvern, let alone allow it to make a pact with me.
"That's crazy talk." I lean on his shoulder. "Oh no..." He says and i look up at him a bit worried. "The Great, Aisha Landar is afraid." Hey! I lean on him hard making him lose balance a bit. "Hey,hey we both gonna fall." There is no we, your on your own.
"You never use our full names." I say and he looks down at me. Everytime he talks, he always looks at people dead in their eyes with a sharp but kind gaze. It was kinda overwhelming really, makes you stumble all over your words.
"Well you told me long ago you came from a long line of powerful mages and knights." Oh yea, i did tell him and Rena. But i feel it should be more of a secret. "Heh we almost look like a couple while being this close." I whisper but Elsword smiled and placed his arm around my waist.
Uhhhh, did he hear me? how? wait we are kinda a bit too close right now. I hold the hem of skirt and kick my feet around at the edge of the cliff. Maybe if i pretend i didn't say that, he will too.
"Lets go to bed, before something happens that you aren't ready for." He lets go and gets his sword. "Hey wha-What do you mean!" Now he wants act all grown up!
He just whistles while walking back. "Hey! I'm talking to you!"
Velder Base Camp
Night
Chung's PoV
Me and three Black Steel knights were defending the camp. Noah, the Black Steel Knights and the Red Knights had to leave to go confront the demon at the palace.
I was left here to defend the camp since and i quote "The matters did not concern me." I sigh and hold out my cannon. Glitters came from the shadows with daggers and swords.
I blasted them and the knights kept them off me. I must say, these knights really did live up to their name. I'm pretty sure they could have dealt with this long ago.
But one thing always bugged me. If princess Noah, The Black Witch of the starless night Speka, The armored juggernaut Valak, and the Blood Colonial Edan, the Black Steal corp were to come together, this would not have been nothing.
Noah was said to have the most powerful ice type magic ever known. She could easily freeze anything. Speka had poweful spells at her disposal, Edan had skill never before seen, Valak was said to be to take on anything and the black Steel corp was said to be able to take anything.
"Chung!" I turn back and saw Ms. Elesis! but, wasn't she imprisoned? "Chung where is everyone?" She asked but the soldiers came and aimed their blades at her. "Hey-" i was going to try and reason but one cut me off. "This does not concern you." A man said in a deep voice.
"Elesis Seighart. You will be pu-" He didn't finished. Their heads... just...exploded...like balloons popping. Their bodies fell lifeless. What the...that was a bit too sudden for me.
"Hey." Speka yells at me. 'Where everyone go." She demanded. "Th-the-the palace!" I drop my cannon. "They didn't have to die." Elesis said but she did not seem slightly fazed.
"Meh." Speka simply shrugged. "To the palace. Lets go." Elesis says and Speka opens a doorway?
They walked in and i saw the most beautiful girl past by. She was...i don't know what to say. she must have saw me staring since she quickly jogged inside the portal. Ah, there goes first impressions.
Speka's PoV
Through the doorway i felt interference so we had to land a bit further than were we should be. I look at Ele for what to do. I won't lie, following her was becoming quite interesting. I see why Luto follows these two, they never failed to interest in Luto words.
"This way." Elesis took front with Ara and i was behind with the blonde boy. He was looking pretty nervous being around a group of girls. If u tease him, it would be too easy. But i teased Elsword, maybe he would tease back, then one thing would lead to another~
Ah no! I'm an adult. He was like 15 or 16. Ooooo what is wrong with me..."Speka what are doing." Huh? i was just standing around. I ran over to them. "Sorry lost in thoughts." I can't tell her i was thinking about her brother i met only hours ago.
We made it to the inside of the palace and the place was a burning mess. It was practically almost gone. The place was in ruins, chandeliers and curtains all over the place. We made it a ruined staircase and looked out the window.
The whole city, was in ruins. Even i felt bad for it. The house gone, some areas were just flat plains and glitters infested the whole city. Large glitter tanks also roamed the place as well. Before there were only a few, now they were being mass produced.
"Were the hell is Noah." That was all i could say. I don't really care but this was hard to ignore, even for me. "Seems like something we have to take care of." Elesis says and leads us back down.
We were going down a hall when i heard a noise. "Uhh." Ara said and we turned around and saw a large glitter tank. It had several cannons on its side with motors on its back.
This one was obviously a cut above the rest. Elesis drew the sword i gave. Chung took his cannon from his back and Ara..well she was prepared in her own way i guess. I fly up and sat on a column.
"She doesn't fight, just makes sure we don't die. She is basically spectator who makes sure it doesn't go too far." Aw Ele knew me so well.
"Right so don't die guys. Im talking to you two." I knew what Elesis is capable of. She is very powerful if really wants to win. I wonder what happens if her and Elsword were to team up?.
"Well then, let the fight begin!" I summoned a purple flag and waved it. The tank then let out steam and charged.
Elsewhere
3rd PoV
Noah, and Edan were chained up in a strange box. It was black everywhere they went and they could not use their powers. The chained in front of each other.
"Damm it...How did this happen." Noah giggled the chains. The chains were meant to suck up magic power, but Noah's mastery of mana allowed her to cancel out the effect.
A black figure then manifested upfront. "Shame, shame, shame. The great Ice Princess, chained like a dog." Noah attempted to break through the chains. "Break me out and ill show you!" She roared.
"Hmph seems like i have guest. I shall deal with you later." It then vanished in a cloud of black smoke.
Noah sighed and began to poke at Edan with her foot. "What are you doing." Edan said calmly. He was simply sitting comfortable with his eyes closed.
"How are you so calm." She says lowly. He moved away abit and she follows him with her foot. Edan sighs audibly and Noah laughs. "Fed up?" She said smirking. "How can you play at a time like this." He says flatly.
"Cmon, do really think that thing could kill us?" She said retracing her foot from his chest. "Dully noted." He said and sighed again. She then went quiet until Edan spoke again. "I knew you liked your title but i didn't think you would go that far. But the color scheme is nice." Edan said simply.
Noah waited a moment before ahe realized what he meant. "You damn pervert!!!" She quickly closed her legs blushing. "Kill me." Edan smirked but then saw a small ice spear slowly forming at his neck.
"I-i am sorry..." He said finally. She smiled in victory.
"Tch, you really are cold."
An
A little backstory here too. gonna make these more often to give a bit more insight on this world of Elsword i made.
Noah
Noah is next in line to become the Queen of Velder. She wields the Velder kingdom necklace of Endurance and Protection. Hee ice magic is said to the most powerful in the world.
Ironically, she has very little aptitude in other fields of magic. She saw this and poured everything she had into her ice magic. She was given the Velder necklace as it not only shows her royal bloodline but her endurance to strive in her magic.
Her ice is so powerful, that it is even rumored that she could freeze anything in the present world down to absolute zero and even beyond that.
Noah
Noah has always been fascinated by demons and dark art knowledge they hold. She always wanted to use magic to how she wanted an not make it be tied down to elemental uses.
She created her own magic system that uses different magical formulas to use for different uses such as flying, creating doorways and manipulated objects to how she sees fit.
She too did not have elemental prowess, but she had no aptitudes in any. She knew she had a large mana pool. She first mastered Time and space magic through creating her own formulas. Then when she found the found the universal magical code, she used it to create her own magic.
Her magic is widely unknown to many but only few know what she truly capable. Luto believes that she may have the ultimate magic formula, The creation formula. The creation formula allowed one to use creation magic which was said to only be wielded by the gods and seers of the mortal realm.
Luto speculates that if these two were to fight full power, fully intent on winning the whole magical ream would have felt their battle.
Next backstory will be on Edan and Valak
Also moving Uool and Illy to play another role in another ark but not this one.
And Add will be appearing soon again.
