Story/Chapter 47: Difference between revisions

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''Yes, I'm with Winster and Haivan at the castle, since we won't be able to help out in battle. How is it over there, Asella? How are others doing?''

*{{StoryIcon|Radio}} '''Asella:''' ''We're doing well. The White-Ghost Army was visibly startled by the disturbance created by your fight. Some of them deserted the fight after that thunderous sound. It's giving us some relief.''

*{{StoryIcon|Radio}} '''Asella:''' ''I agree. Grr... It seems Berthe was only interested in quashing any discontent with brute force. There's no sign of proper training in any of them. The deserting White-Ghost soldiers actually look relieved. They seem to think they can run without Berthe's notice in the midst of the chaos.''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''That sounds good. Thought most of them are running away now, we don't know when the tide will turn the other way. We should go along with Asella's plan and completely disintegrate the army while the El Search Party is handling Berthe.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''... Deborah, will you assist Asella? There may be other soldiers that were under Lord Aegirp who were directly transferred to Berthe's army like Hadron.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''I don't think they'd be enough to handle Berthe with Lord Aegirp's power. The El Search Party will be fine. Let us have faith... But, perhaps we can help in disintegrating the White-Ghost Army.''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Haivan, do you know what's going on? Tell us. You're the only one that can give us an answer. What can we do?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan2}} '''Haivan:''' ''Father...... Help me up. We need to find the El Search Party, before it's too late!''

*{{StoryIcon|Ish}} '''Lu:''' ''Yes. They are clashing with each other. Imagine two people standing with a door between them. If one pushes while the other pulls simultaneously, the door will not move in either direction. Instead, their action will likely cause the doorknob to break.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan2}} '''Haivan:''' ''Ugh... Can you not shout? My head is ringing. Hey, your highness? We don't have much time, so let's make this quick. First of all, this is really not the outcome I intended.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan2}} '''Haivan:''' ''As I explained earlier, my purpose was to instigate a fight over the control of Berthe's body. In order to do that, I planted suggestions to the White-Ghost King's soul. I told her that all her achievements will fall apart if she doesn't stop Berthe.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan2}} '''Haivan:''' ''No. What she's doing is not fighting for control over his body. You understand, your highness? The White-Ghost King created a barrier surrounding this area and is letting her power go out of control without concern for her own safety.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan2}} '''Haivan:''' ''Simple. Right now, the White-Ghost King's and Berthe's soul, and Berthe's body that's acting as a vessel, are very unstable due to the clash between two souls. So in order to stabilize the soul, we need to have the soul transported to a new vessel. Help me get in contact with the soul. Then everything will fall into place.''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''I'm not talking about the plan. You said earlier that Berthe and the White-Ghost King were going to fight each other to gain control of the body. I'm asking you what will happen to you, if the White-Ghost King's soul is transported to you after you come in contact with the soul.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan2}} '''Haivan:''' ''Calm down. Think positively! Your long wish of the White-Ghost King's revival will finally be realized. Though, she wouldn't look like the old White-Ghost King that you know.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan2}} '''Haivan:''' ''Sorry, this is the best possible outcome in this situation. Actually, well... I deliberated for a long time to make sure no one else will be tangled in this mess, but everything kind of spiraled out of control... B, but some of this is your fault for meddling! ... So just help me sort this out for this, yeah?''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan2}} '''Haivan:''' ''Aww, why the long face? We fought each other just moments ago. Besides, Berthe and the White-Ghost King clashed because of their differences. And... that might not happen with me. Well, I guess I could be swallowed up by her overwhelming power. If I'm lucky, we will coexist. I mean, it's just a theory, but it seemed feasible! So...''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''Didn't you tell the El Search Party to stop acting like a hero? Well right now, you're the one that's acting like you have a hero complex. Those who sacrifice themselves are no hero. They're just casualties. If you want to be a hero so much, grow up. Really, you may have gotten taller, but you're still such a kid. You can't do whatever you want and expect the rest of us to just follow you.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan2}} '''Haivan:''' ''You're the one doing whatever you want right now! Why are you jumping into my mess! There's no way you can survive slashing with the White-Ghost King! I didn't do all this just to lose you!''

*{{StoryIcon|Winster}} '''Winster:''' ''Yes, Nichel, don't do it. I can't let you do this... There must be another way. So...!''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''Winster, I'm not trying to sacrifice myself. I have a plan. I'm going to convince the White-Ghost King. El Search Party! Will you trust me and open the path?''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Nichel was the first one to hear the White-Ghost King, and the first to be led by the soul... If something doesn't seem right, we're going to drag you out no matter what happens. So I'll ask this one last time. Nichel, are you sure?''

*{{StoryIcon|Nichel2}} '''Nichel:''' ''... Yah! I can do this! As long as the White-Ghost King didn't completely lose herself, she will be compelled to respond to my request, just like she did with the Demon King.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aegirp}} '''White-Ghost King (Nichel):''' ''... As I witnessed my land flourish, I foolheartedly believed that I was walking the right path. I was blinded by my pride of what I have managed to accomplish. I believed that as long as I show good faith, the others would follow. Even though I knew that people did no change easily... My hasty decision and arrogance led to losing a treasured subordinate today.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aegirp}} '''White-Ghost King (Nichel):''' ''... I can only thank you for your loyalty, Calonne. And... Luciela.''

*{{StoryIcon|Aps}} '''Ara:''' ''Right now, the two souls within Nichel are at a balance. We won't have to worry about her losing control of one of their souls being destroyed.''

*{{StoryIcon|Haivan2}} '''Haivan:''' ''Wh, who's crying?! And you, if you're done talking, get out of Nichel's body, you wraith!''

*{{StoryIcon|Aegirp}} '''White-Ghost King (Nichel):''' ''I'm sorry, but I must decline. I cannot help but look forward to see the world this child is dreaming of.''
