=== <u>Chapter 59: King of Abyss</u> ===
=== <u>Chapter 59: King of Abyss</u> ===
The El Search Party enter the Birth of Origin and find Ran using the Seed of Life to harness the energy of the 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.

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.<br>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.

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.<br>Protect and relying on each other, and waiting while believing in one another.<br>It's standard to point some people may say it's foolish, but this is the El Search Party way.

Body and mind are both reaching the limit.<br>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.<br>This is still better than watching friends fall one by one.

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.<br>Then there's still a way.<br>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.<br>The El Search Party decides to give everything to this one chance.

*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Closing the Abyss... I don't think that'll be enough.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''Yes. We'll continue what we've been doing. We should hurry. We'll be too noticeable.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''Yes. But... You're only using one of your arms. Are you alright?''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''You noticed? You're right. My left arm is barely moving.''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''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.''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''I'm just glad it's not my legs. And... we managed to widen the crack.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''... Is one more hit enough?''
*{{StoryIcon|RH}} '''Raven:''' ''If there's an opening.''
----
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Sis! Is there a problem?''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Shh, let's talk. Chung, Aisha, you too.''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''Listen. Raven and I created a crack on the seed. It's about this size, almost vertical, slightly tilted to the left.''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''So you need to be precise to shatter it in one hit. Got it?''
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Yeah... But why am I doing it? Wouldn't it be more accurate for you to do it since you made it?''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''Elesis:''' ''I can't. Neither can Raven. We attracted too much attention.''
*{{StoryIcon|ES}} '''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.''
*{{StoryIcon|AS}} '''Aisha:''' ''... You do it, Elsword. You should be the fastest.''
*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''I'll make sure to keep Ran's attention on me.''
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''... Alright. I'll try.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ran4}} '''Ran:''' ''You... I thought I let you go. Why do you insist on coming back to face your end?''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''Ha, haha... Let me go? You mean you discarded me once I became useless.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ran4}} '''Ran:''' ''That' too, but there was another reason. Your body was too compatible.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''... Compatible...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Ran4}} '''Ran:''' ''An average human couldn't have handled me. Their body would have started to break down before long.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ran4}} '''Ran:''' ''But you endured. Or, perhaps I should say, you adapted?''
*{{StoryIcon|Ran4}} '''Ran:''' ''That body continued to transform after I took over, to something neither human nor demon.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Neither human... nor demon...?''
*{{StoryIcon|Ran4}} '''Ran:''' ''If I stayed, my soul would have been attached, so I had to abandon it before it came to that point.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ran4}} '''Ran:''' ''Now, what should I call you, who is neither a demon, nor a human? Hmm...''
*{{StoryIcon|Ran4}} '''Ran:''' ''Ah, yes. Cambion, would be fitting.''
*''(CRACK)''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''Ah...!''
*{{StoryIcon|Ran4}} '''Ran:''' ''Now, it will be impossible for you to live amongst humans. There will be no place for you to go.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ran4}} '''Ran:''' ''How does it feel, to realize you can never achieve your dreams.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''I... don't care. All living things change in the end. I realized that too late...''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''The person I am now, is no longer the person I was before. To live means you shift and change.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''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.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''Ran. You couldn't change anything that was most precious to me.''
*{{StoryIcon|Ran4}} '''Ran:''' ''... You're deceiving yourself. You've merely given up what you cannot have.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''You've always played... too much with your... gah... prey.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''But I'm only a bait.''
*''(RUMBLE RUMBLE...)''
*{{StoryIcon|Ran4}} '''Ran:''' ''... What is this sound.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''The depth of an Abyss is sturdy. Because of the overflowing demonic energy, it's the most dangerous part, yet also most stable.''
*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''You know what it means, when the depth of the Abyss becomes unstable.''
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''We destroyed the Heart Core! Elsword, the Seed...!''
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Now! Kugh...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aren2}} '''Aren:''' ''It's your price for leaving without taking my life.''
*''(RUMBLE... CRASH! BOOM!)''
*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''(One more, just one more time...!)''
*{{StoryIcon|CEs}} '''Eve:''' ''He's going to fall. Raven! Grab him!''
