Chapter 59: King of Abyss

Ran fuses with the Seed of Life to be one with the power of the Abyss, an unstoppable force to seize the title of Demon King. In hopes of defeating Ran for good, the group discover and destroy the Abyss's Heart Core, triggering the collapse of the Abyss and distracting Ran just enough for them to shatter his Seed of Life.

Quest Completion Dialogue
Ara: ... Ran. Ran: Shh....... Ran: I apologize. Could you wait a moment? Chung: You had enough time. Ran: Unfortunately, I need a little more. Ran: If the insolent Dream Demon did his job, you wouldn't have had to wait. Laby: So you're the one that made Vasili that way! Why did you have to be so mean? Ran: I realized someone was following me. When that someone turned out to be a lowly Dream Demon... Can you really fault me for taking out my frustrations? Ran: When I realized you came as well, I was surprised. I was wondering how you managed to do so... Ran: Ah, but it was my old master, finally here to leash his dog. Ran: I was wondering when you would intervene. You took so long to act that I was getting worried for your sake. Aisha: (He noticed the Red Demon King's Eye...!) Ran: Do not fear. I will not touch the eye. I know why you're here. Neither of us think fondly of each other. Ran: I doubt that will change anytime soon... So I suspect this will be our last encounter. Ran: Why hurry our last moments? Let us talk. You and I, I imagine we have a lot to talk about. Elesis: (Talk? As if.) Aisha: (Do you all see that thing behind Ran? It looks dangerous...) Elsword: (Do you think that's the Heart Core?) Raven: (From what we've heard, I didn't think it would be out in the open like this.) Add: (I have a bad feeling about this... What is that?) Add: (I'll go figure it out, so buy me some time. Talk, fight, anything.) Chung: ... Why did you start the invasion? Ran: Ahh, you chose a difficult topic from the start. Ran: Let me see... The start? At the core, it all started because our lords were incompetent. Lu: Incompetent? Ran: Ah, pardon. But you also share the blame. Ran: A land abandoned by god, and the king... The role of the demon lords was crucial, but none of you did anything meaningful. Ran: Only wasting years and years away. Ain: (A land... abandoned by god?) Elesis: Is that really all you've got to say? Blaming the demon lords? I thought you might have a better excuse. Ran: I'm merely laying out the cause and effect. Ran: Demons don't know cooperation. They need to be subjugated, taken down, and beaten down with power. Aisha: Victoria and Dream Demons weren't like that. Ran: Pitiful beasts are bound to create a herd. In that sense, the invasion was messy, but necessary. Of course, I did find the result to be quite lacking... Ran: I suppose I never should have expected cooperation to begin with. Ara: You found it lacking? That is all that it amounts to? Ran: You look upset. And some of you seem distracted... I apologize for the lacking accommodation. How should I make it up to you? Chung: You head will be enough. Ran: Hahaha... I don't think that's feasible. Ran: ... That's right. How about a fight, for old time sakes? You have come all the way here, and I'd fate to disappoint my guests. Ciel: Add! Your analysis? Add: ... I need more time. Damn it... I swear I saw that somewhere... Eve: Did you feel it too, Add? Elsword: We can't delay this any further. Eve, Add, we're leaving that to you. Chung: Haa! (KLING-!!) Ran: My... You've grown. You've come a long way from the boy who let his emotion cloud his attacks. Chung: And who's fault was that? Ran: Oh, are you giving me the credit for your growth? I'm honored. But! (CLANG!) Chung: Ugh! Ran: Your movements are too honest, making you predictable. You still have a long way to go. Ran: That's what I enjoy about you. Ran: On the other hand... (SWING!) Ara: Ah...! Ran: That was close. Ran: You're... interesting. You always come when I least expect it. Ran: It can get irritating, but leaves me no room to be bored. The human I took the body from was much the same. Ran: Ah, wasn't he your brother? Did you meet him? I let him go, you see. (CLANG!) Ara: Ugh...! Ran: You look overwhelmed... Can you take another hit? Chung: No! Watch out! (CLIING... PAT!) Rena: Get away from my friends! Ara: Thank you, Rena! Ain: Here, Mr. Guardian. It wasn't anything serious. Chung: Yes. Thank you! Elsword: That haughty attitude has got to go. He's playing with us. Raven: Don't let his taunts get to you. That's exactly what he wants. Elsword: I'll try, but I won't promise anything. Aisha: This is getting tough... My mana is draining quick. I'm doing the best I can, but watch out everyone. Lu: You're being drained by the Abyss. We'll be at a disadvantage the longer we fight. Ciel: Everything is in Ran's favor. Not many of us can fight regardless of demonic energy in a situation like this. Elesis: Your body will always reflect your condition. Even if we're doing fine now, we'll be exhausted in no time. Lu: I'd like to know what Ran's up to, that makes him so confident. Eve: ... There's only one thing. Add: Yes. We double checked multiple times, but it's still showing the same results... Eve: It was something we knew from experience. Add: It makes sense the data was unreliable. It's covered in demonic energy this time. Noah: Are you done with the analysis? Add: Ha, haha. Good timing kid. What does it feel like to be right in your prediction? Noah: ... What's the result? Eve: It's a Seed of Life. Aisha: What?! What's Ran doing with a Seed of Life? Raven: Is he planning on mutating using the Seed of Life? Noah: I, I'll go! Elsword: Me too! Lu: Ciel, we'll go engage Ran! Elesis: I'll follow you! Raven, Aisha! You're with me. Raven: Understood. Elesis: Eve, Add! You're... Add: Tsk, you don't need to say it. Elesis: Good! You do your thing. I'll leave you to it!

Complete the Greeting Guests story quest	Defeat Earl of Abyss Ran in Birth of Origin
Description
Seed of Life is chaos itself. There's no predicting what will come out, like the result of a die. That's why the El Search Party couldn't help but be shaken. It's best if Ran uses the Seed of Life and turn into a mindless mutation, but if someone like Ran obtains power like Hennon's... It'll be like giving wings to a tiger.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Ran: Great. Hahaha... This is why I appreciate you. Ran: Even though we're enemies and you're weak... I have to commend your dedication and spirit to head straight into a battle you know you cannot win. Ran: If there were demons like you in the Demon Realm, perhaps things could have turned out differently. Ara: After all this time... Do you need a friend? Ran: Please. Your status is beneath me. Laby: As if we want you as a friend! Laby doesn't want meanies who don't know the importance of friendship! Lu: Haha! Hear! Hear! Clamor: They're purposefully being loud to keep Ran's attention on them. Clamor: Noah! Now's our chance! Noah: Ok! Here I go...! (BZZZ-!) Noah: Ah?! Something's in the way! Again! Rose: Ran's headed that way! Noah, watch out! Ran: What's this? It's rude to sneak around. Elsword: Kugh, get away from Noah! (KLANG KLANG KLANG!!) Elesis: Noah, how's the seed? Noah: There's a black substance surrounding it, but I think I can get through with a couple more hits! Elesis: Alright. Then I'll go stop Ran as well! Ran: Oh, is it finally time to take this seriously? Elesis: You betcha. I'll have you eat dirt like last time. Ran: A memorable experience, indeed. Elsword: Hey, where did you get that thing? Ran: I took it from a suspicious looking man. Do you know what it is? Elsword: You better not think about using it! Elsword: We know what happened to someone who used it. It's not worth throwing away your life to gain power. Ran: Don't worry. I may have acquired it by chance, but I've witnessed first-hand what happens to those who use this power. Ran: Why do you think I threw this in the middle of the Abyss? (CLANG! CLANG, CLANG!) Noah: Ugh, just a little more...! One more hit...! Ran: What's important, is homogeneity. Noah: Ah?! Rose: He took the Seed of Life... When did he...! Ran: It's finally time. I apologize for the long wait. Ran: Now... Let the real battle begin. Ran: Ahh... I'm satisfied. Ran: I feel the violent writhing of the power of life... Hahaha, despite your concerns, it's remarkably manageable. Noah: Ugh, he transformed, but the energy... Eve: The energy is stable. He completely took control. It's similar to what happened to Hennon. Raven: But the power level exceeds Hennon. With the addition of the demonic energy of the Abyss, that may not even be his final form. Add: Is this why I couldn't shake off the bad feeling? Damn it. I should have stopped him somehow. Noah: I'm sorry. I should have destroyed it in time... Add: ... But you managed to leave a mark. See over there, kid. The energy is leaking from the crack you created. Ciel: You think he'll lose his power if we break it? Aisha: Could be. But Ran's not going to stand by and let that happen... This is going to be difficult. Aisha: But why did a Seed of Life appear here, at this moment? Rose: Let's ask. Ran, how did you obtain the Seed of Life? Are you a member of the Order? Ran: The Order? Is this their power? Tell me more. Raven: We asked first. Why don't you answer our question. Ran: Hm... Alright. I'll tell you. Ran: When I was looking for Barkat after I came back to the Demon Realm, I found a group of suspicious humans and decided to follow them. Ran: They ran away, but pulled out something when they were cornered, turning into hideous monsters. Noah: (The members of the Order...) Ran: Some looked useful, but unfortunately ran away. I wasn't exactly in the best condition. Chung: Is that when you took over the Shadow Vein in Varnimyr? Ran: Ah, were you the one to disturb the operation? You really do get in the way of everything. Ran: After I recovered my strength, I chased them again. That's when I acquired it. Ran: But... Hahaha! This truly exceeds my expectation. I don't know what Barkat was after, but I'd understand if it were to acquire this power. Ran: Perhaps the Abyss... The power of origin will also fall into my hands... Add: ... He has yet to notice the crack on the seed. Rena: Looks like it. I guess with how much power he has, a leak like that is nothing. Add: It seems you are well-versed in this power... Ran: Then how about a lesson?

Description
One by one, as they tire out, the El Search Party takes turns to allow everyone some breathing room in midst of battle. Every sign points to their disadvantage except for their strength in numbers. Protect and relying on each other, and waiting while believing in one another. It's standard to point some people may say it's foolish, but this is the El Search Party way.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Raven: Haa, gasp, ah, I feel heavy... Add: Cough, ugh... Red Demon King! Are you doing your job? Lu: Don't worry. Demonic energy this potent should also affect Ran negatively. Add: But at this rate, we'll be down before he is...! Chung: Pant, pant... Elsword. You don't have to support me. I, I can still fight. Ain: Stay still. You've been overexerting yourself. Elsword: Go get healed. I can handle it until you catch your breath. Chung: Alright... ... I'm sorry, Elsword. Elsword: Huh? What's this about? Chung: Before we came here. When I said I was going to come here by myself if everyone objects... Chung: What you said... hurt. I thought, it's easy for you to say, because you don't understand what I'm going through. Elsword: Oh, that... Sorry. I was a bit harsh. Chung: No. I understand now what you meant. You're right. Abyss was not a place I could have come by myself. Chung: And right now, I'm happy to be with my friends as the guardian. Aisha: Chung... Chung: I don't know what to say... I'm easily swayed by my emotion. I know I shouldn't... But I always seem to set my goals too high. Elsword: No! You're doing fine. Why would you say that? Aisha: Listen to him. You're much more reliable compared to Elsword. So much so, that I feel sorry comparing you two. Elsword: You didn't have to bring me into it! Anyway, no need to blame yourself. Elsword: Besides, who cares if you set your goals too high. That's good! Elsword: It means you are looking at the next step. What you must do to grow. What to fix, and what you're lacking. Elsword: It's amazing that you know your path. That's why we came here. Because we knew this was the path to protect everyone. Chung: ... Thank you. Elsword: Keep moving forward. Sometimes, it's ok to do whatever you want. Look at me! That's what I do. Aisha: You should do less! Aisha: Phew, but that was surprisingly mature advice coming from you, Elsword. I agree with him! Aisha: Those who don't look after themselves, learn about themselves, and stop dreaming end up hitting a wall, because they do not have the motivation to move forward. Aisha: The fact that you always give your all is amazing, Chung. Ain: Yes. Mr. Guardian, you always put so much on your shoulders. Usually, I'd say not to overexert yourself... Ain: But considering the situation right now, I'll allow just a bit. I'll be right beside you to raise you up. Chung: Yes! I'll leave it to you! Raven: Kugh.... Raven: (My body isn't moving as fast. I managed to block Ran's attacks... But the Nasod Arm moved on its own to block some of them.) Raven: (Protecting the host... I know it needs me alive, but what about everyone else? Raven: (Does it even have the concept of friendship? When friend and foe are fighting, how far will it go?) Raven: (... I'll have to keep my distance for a while until this is all over.) Lu: Ran, let me ask you this. You claimed the four demon lords have forgone their responsibilities. Lu: Then what is your purpose. What do you wish to achieve with that power? Raven: Are you still aiming for an invasion? Ran: Invasion? That is not a priority. Ran: The chaos of the Demon Realm exacerbated because of the four demon lords, but it began due to the Demon King's absence. Ran: Before leaving this cursed land... Someone should establish and bring new order. Ciel: You'll become the Demon King with that power? Chung: You can't be serious! You have no right! Red Demon King's Eye: ... Ran. You can never be the Demon King. Ran: Why is that? Red Demon King's Eye: You do not know the Demon King. That's why you do not appreciate. Red Demon King's Eye: The Demon Realm can be divided as before the Demon King, and after. The accomplishments left by the Demon King is endless. That's the kind of legacy you're up against. Red Demon King's Eye: The only one I gave what's akin to admiration and loyalty... Red Demon King's Eye: Demon King is not a position you can seize with power. Lu: Tir.... Red Demon King's Eye: Where he walked became the path, and where he stopped became a resting place. Red Demon King's Eye: ... He was the sun that rose on its own. A star that fell to the Demon Realm. Red Demon King's Eye: How dare you refer to him so lightly with your conniving tongue! Ran: Hahahaha! What a surprise! I didn't know you even had that much emotion. Ran: You're right. I do not know the Demon King. He is of a bygone era, remembered only by ancient relics like the four demon lords. Ran: If the Demon King was your light, then most of the demons who do not know of him... Ran: Shouldn't they be given light as well? Aisha: What a massive ego. Raven: I do not know Demon Realm politics, but you have a point. Chaotic times call for leaders who take charge and become the new standard. Raven: But... There's no reason why that should be you. Rena: Those from the White-Ghost Land and the Dream Demons seemed to have participated in the invasion forcibly, or without full understanding of the situation. Rena: I don't think they'd be willing to accept your rule! Ran: Accept? Hahaha! Accept? Ran: They'll accept power. They'll accept... me. Ara: Arrogant man. You're still chasing your ambition. If there's no hope for your repentance... Ara: Then I will take you down! Ran: Now, now... It's only the beginning. Ran: If this is a seed like you said, then it should sprout and bear fruit. Ran: I am dying to find out... the limit of this power. Ran: Now, Abyss! Power of origin! Heed and rejoice the rise of the new Demon King!

Reason to Stay Standing

{{

Quest Acceptance Prerequisites	Objectives
Complete the Those Who Know Their Path story quest	Defeat Shadow of Greed in Birth of Origin
Description
Body and mind are both reaching the limit. The arm hurts like it's about to fall, and there's no feeling left in the hands. The body exhausted to a point of barely standing, and the legs constantly trying to run away against their wishes. It's hard to control the body despite it being their own. Everyone was falling behind, and spirits running low. But that was more the reason to stand tall and cry out. Use the body that's about to fall, to shoot forward instead. Cheer on. The demonic energy spreads like poison and the body's about to collapse, but this pain is nothing. This is still better than watching friends fall one by one.

(KLING, SHATTER) Raven: Add! What's your status? Add: Ugh, ahh... Damn it, my head... feels like it's splitting...! Raven: ... Stand back. I'll take over for now. Rose: Ahh, ack! (SLAM!) Rena: What happened? Elsword: She fell from above! Are you alright, Rose? Rose: I'm not seriously injured! I felt sudden vertigo and lost my balance. Chung: How are you feeling, Ain? Ain: I'm trying to keep my calm. I'm more worried about others for now. Laby: Ooh, phew, Eve, are you ok now? Eve: Thank you for supporting me, Laby. I feel fine now. It's temporary, but I made some repairs. Noah: It's fine. I can, I can... You don't have to say anything... Lu: Everyone's feeling the strain. Looks like they're all about to faint from exhaustion... Ciel: This battle is like pouring water into a bottomless pit. There's no end to it. Add: Ugh... He's basically fighting in a fortress, while we are slowly drained. Aisha: Some of us are still hanging on... But the most we can do right now is make sure we're not swept... Rena: (Everyone's exhausted. Mind and body...) Rena: (Raven looks fine... But I can't tell. Is he? He doesn't like to share when he's hurt or tired.) Rena: (... Even if the reason why I'm fine is because I'm adapting to demonic energy...) Rena: (It doesn't matter. I'll fight in their place! So I can at least buy them time to escape.) (CRICK... ... CLANG!) Rena: Ah, that's... Chung: Rena! What's wrong?! You stopped all of a sudden... Rena: Ah, ahh... Ventus. Lincy... Chung: What? Master Ventus? Rena: Yeah. Take a look at this spirit stone. Lu: It's cracked. Is this important to you? Rena: Yeah. Ventus and Lincy gave it to me before we left for the Demon Realm. They were worried about me. Rena: This must have been the reason why I was faring better than everyone else in the Abyss. Eve: ... Rena. Rena: It's nice... isn't it? We were able to come this far because of everyone's help and wishes. Rena: Not just what's tangible like this spirit stone, but everyone's will. Rena: We can't let that go to waste. Let's fight to the end! Chung: Yes. Who else would do it, if not us? Ciel: Right. This is no different than other battles we had. Elsword: Let's think of this as the last stand. If we step back, there will be no stopping Ran. Add: ... Kugh, then let's get this over with. Aisha: Yeah. Let's fight with the resolve to trap Ran here for good! Eve: We have confirmed dealing with Ran directly is not enough to win, so we need another strategy. Rena: Find another way? What can we do? Do you think we can use the environment of the Abyss to our advantage? Noah: How about targeting the Seed of Life? Eve: It's definitely effective. I sense greater energy loss centering around the crack of the seed. Add: But it's too slow, considering how long it took for us to make that dent. Add: Kugh... We'll end up dead before we managed to take him down. Damn it, my head... Noah: We can... try harder? Add: You think? Laby: What if we attack super fast, like ora ora ora! Add: You think? Is that even a plan? You're just saying whatever comes to mind. Elsword: Tir! Do you have an idea? You're the one who told Ran he can't be Demon King. Red Demon King's Eye: I'd like to help you, I really do. But I can't right now. I'm a bit occupied at the moment. Elsword: What for? Is it more urgent than this? Red Demon King's Eye: Hm... Maybe? Lu: Mrrr... What is he up to this time. Ara: ... Um, do you remember? The way to get rid of an Abyss. Vasili told us. Ciel: Ah, he said you can find the Heart Core and destroy it when the Abyss is small. Aisha: But he said even big ones might have one. Though we have no guarantee we can find one in here. Lu: But there's no guarantee we can't. I like that plan. Let's go look for it! Ciel: If we destroy the Heart Core and stop him from escaping, he'll be trapped in here when the Abyss disappears. Lu: Yes. Ran may have the advantage. but if you can't steer the ship, you're bound to be capsized. Elsword: I noticed he's not that agile in that body. I don't think he'll be able to move fast even if his life depends on it. Ain: We don't know how fast the Abyss will collapse... If we're not careful, we'll be stuck here as well. Chung: But it does sound promising. I approve. Elsword: Is this fine with you two? I know you wanted to avenge Ran with your own hands. Chung: It's fine. It doesn't matter how as long as we can stop him. Ara: We'll be taking him down together. I have no regrets! (... STEP!) Aren: I'll help as well! Red Demon King's Eye: Oh? Ara: Brother?! Rena: Aren?! How long have you been here? Aren: I just arrived. I was chasing someone suspicious before I found this place, and was briefed by the Dream Demons at the entrance. Ara: Aren! How could you! Do you know how worried I was when you left without a word? Aren: ... I'm sorry. Ain: I don't mean to interrupt a reunion between siblings, but are you alright? Laby: Yeah! You didn't even have Tir's eye! Are you ok? Aren: Huh? I think so...? Ain: ... It's fine if you are. Aren: Thank you for your concern. You were talking about drawing Ran's attention. What's the plan, exactly? Chung: The plan is to distract Ran while we find the Heart Core and destroy it. Aren: Heart... Core...? Ah, I see. If this is the bottom of the Abyss, you should be able to find it. Red Demon King's Eye: You seem well-versed on this subject. Aren: It's the source of the demonic energy coming from Abyss. Abyss maybe the essence of anomaly, there's one thing all of them have in common. Aren: There's a Heart Core in every Abyss. No Abyss can exist without a Heart Core. Red Demon King's Eye: Aha, is that Ran's memory? Aren: Yes. I didn't think I'd find it useful. Ciel: Then let's split up. Those in charge of searching for the Heart Core, and those in charge of distracting Ran.

What Doesn't Change

{{

Quest Acceptance Prerequisites	Objectives
Complete the Reason to Stay Standing story quest	Defeat King of Abyss in Birth of Origin
Description
Demonic energy continues to leak from the crack made on the Seed of Life, but it's barely making a difference. If Ran is the fish, the Abyss is like the ocean. The only thing left to do is waiting for the ocean to dry up, or to wait for Ran to end his life. But the El Search Party entered the Abyss because they could not wait. Then there's still a way. It seemed hopeless when Ran absorbed the demonic energy of the Abyss using the Seed of Life, but that action may as well have turned this situation in his favor. If there's no way to win, then they can dry the ocean of seal his gills. It may sound unrealistic, but it was an option. The El Search Party decides to give everything to this one chance.
Quest Completion Dialogue
Elesis: Closing the Abyss... I don't think that'll be enough. Raven: Yes. We'll continue what we've been doing. We should hurry. We'll be too noticeable. Aren: Yes. But... You're only using one of your arms. Are you alright? Elesis: You noticed? You're right. My left arm is barely moving. Raven: I have the same problem, though I don't have the same symptoms. It's likely the effect of the Abyss. Don't push yourself too hard. Elesis: I'm just glad it's not my legs. And... we managed to widen the crack. Aren: ... Is one more hit enough? Raven: If there's an opening. Elsword: Sis! Is there a problem? Elesis: Shh, let's talk. Chung, Aisha, you too. Elesis: Listen. Raven and I created a crack on the seed. It's about this size, almost vertical, slightly tilted to the left. Elesis: So you need to be precise to shatter it in one hit. Got it? Elsword: Yeah... But why am I doing it? Wouldn't it be more accurate for you to do it since you made it? Elesis: I can't. Neither can Raven. We attracted too much attention. Elesis: Plus, I can barely use my left arm. My attack won't carry enough power to shatter the seed. You have to do it. Aisha: ... You do it, Elsword. You should be the fastest. Chung: I'll make sure to keep Ran's attention on me. Elsword: ... Alright. I'll try. (GRASP...) Aren: Uuh... Kugh! Ara: Brother!! Chung: Hold fire! Aren's been caught! Ran: You... I thought I let you go. Why do you insist on coming back to face your end? Aren: Ha, haha... Let me go? You mean you discarded me once I became useless. Ran: That' too, but there was another reason. Your body was too compatible. Aren: ... Compatible...? Ran: An average human couldn't have handled me. Their body would have started to break down before long. Ran: But you endured. Or, perhaps I should say, you adapted? Ran: That body continued to transform after I took over, to something neither human nor demon. Ara: Neither human... nor demon...? Ran: If I stayed, my soul would have been attached, so I had to abandon it before it came to that point. Ran: Now, what should I call you, who is neither a demon, nor a human? Hmm... Ran: Ah, yes. Cambion, would be fitting. (CRACK) Aren: Ah...! Ran: Now, it will be impossible for you to live amongst humans. There will be no place for you to go. Ran: How does it feel, to realize you can never achieve your dreams. Aren: I... don't care. All living things change in the end. I realized that too late... Aren: The person I am now, is no longer the person I was before. To live means you shift and change. Aren: Even if I'm no longer the same, there are some things that remain the same. My sin, and the fact that I am Aren, of the Haan family, only remaining family of Ara. Aren: Ran. You couldn't change anything that was most precious to me. Ran: ... You're deceiving yourself. You've merely given up what you cannot have. Aren: You've always played... too much with your... gah... prey. Aren: But I'm only a bait. (RUMBLE RUMBLE...) Ran: ... What is this sound. Aren: The depth of an Abyss is sturdy. Because of the overflowing demonic energy, it's the most dangerous part, yet also most stable. Aren: You know what it means, when the depth of the Abyss becomes unstable. Eve: We destroyed the Heart Core! Elsword, the Seed...! Elsword: Now! Kugh...! (CLA-NG!!) Elsword: (Shoot...! It's not enough!) Ran: Gah, when did they...! Ran: You... I'll destroy you for pulling a stunt like this! Aren: It's your price for leaving without taking my life. (RUMBLE... CRASH! BOOM!) Elsword: (One more, just one more time...!) Eve: He's going to fall. Raven! Grab him! Raven: Ah... But it's not enough with my arm...! Eve: Use your left! Control it! Elsword: Ah! (SLIP... GRAB!) Raven: Ha, Haa... How's your arm? Any injuries? Elsword: None! Thanks! Ara: Raven! Elsword!! I'm on my way! Elsword: Nice timing! The seed is not destroyed yet. You have to take it out! Ara: ...! Understood! Ran: Kugh... You puny little...! Lu: They'll all be taken out at this rate. Chung! Use the photon bomb. Now is the perfect timing! Chung: Yes! I'll match Ara's timing. You have to leave on three! Rena: Everyone have enough energy to run? If not, you better find it! Soon, you'll have to run non-stop! Elsword: Up there to the left! Step on my back and jump! Ara: Yes! Pardon me! Chung: One... two... three! (SHIINE--!!)
