Despite being under [[Ran]]'s control, Aren is still able to have a slight grip over his body and continues to try and fight off [[Ran]]. | ||
====Abandonment By Ran==== | |||
After returning to the Demon Realm, [[Ran]] tasked his minions to mine Mystic Stones in an effort to inject its power into the Moon El to regain his strength. After regaining his strength, Ran separated from Aren's body. As a token of amicability, Ran left Aren to his own devices as he left on pursuit of the Abyss. | |||
Ran, still full of guilt, was unable to move with his newfound freedom. Instead he decided to play the role of Ran in his absence. The Red-Demon Army had been dissolved and he was approached by [[Victoria]] who proposed a reformation of the remaining members. Aren agreed with her proposition and gave her title of Queen of the Dream Demons and autonomy to do as she wished with the remaining forces. | |||
====Chapter 53: Shadow Earl's Castle==== | |||
When the El Search Party entered the [[Shadow Earl's Castle]], Aren wished for them to leave and tried to avoid their presence. The group pursued who they believed was [[Ran]] until they confronted him, shadows beings appeared to impede their way but [[Ara]] initiated a fight while the others dealt with the shadows. | |||
Ara and Aren dueled, each attack triggering a sense of familiarity within Ara, after a time, she realized that their fight felt identical to sparring with her brother, and realized that Ran was nowhere to be seen, that it was just her brother Aren. Ara probes why he was playing this part and he soon laments his guilt and weakness he's been hiding to his sister, that he's originally summoned Ran to see his home again and nothing more. He wishes to left alone, to wallow in his sorrow, but Ara could not accept this and wishes to return with her brother. | |||
====Chapter 54: Ominous Red Demon Territory==== | |||
In the aftermath, Aren tell the El Search Party what he knew, though his memories during Ran's possession were not entirely lucid. He was able to divulge that many things had gone awry after the failure of the Demon Invasion and Ran has regained his power and separated using ore and the shell of the Moon El. | |||
[[Ara]] later confronts her brother, alone the two talk about the secrets they've been hiding and Ara demonstrates her new convictions to her brother. Her words resonate with Aren and help his move beyond the stupor he found himself in as they kept talking. | |||
Later that night, when most had gone to sleep, Aren decided that after seeing his sister again, and seeing that she was safe with her new friends, he needed to set off on his own journey. But before he could leave, he ran into [[Chung]] on night watch. He reveals to Chung that he stayed in the castle for so long, because he thought [[Ran]] would return, but now that he can't afford to just throw his life away, there is something new he must seek out. Chung asks the whereabouts of his father, which Aren recalls [[Helputt]] having left some time ago alongside a young demon. Aren gives Chung his farewells for Ara before departing. | |||
====Chapter 58-1: Gathered Again==== | |||
Scouring the Red Demon Territory, Aren came across the remnants of a decayed mutated human being and recognized the wounds as [[Ran]]'s doing. Before he could take a closer look, he sensed someone approaching and hid. A [[Lilith|unknown female]] appeared before the corpse and appeared to analyze it, she concludes the assailant took the corpse's possession and decides to track the assailant. Aren suspects a connection between [[Henir's Order]], [[Ran]], and [[Sir Helputt]] and decides to trail the unknown female. | |||
====Chapter 59: King of Abyss==== | |||

With them, he devises a plan to destroy the Abyss's Heart Core. Aren helps distract Ran, who is surprised to see his vessel again after setting him free. Ran reveals that Aren's body had become to compatible with Ran's soul and had adapted into something Ran called a Cambion. Aren distracts Ran enough for the El Search Party to destroy the Abyss's Heart Core and distracted, Ara managed to land a finishing blow of Ran's Seed of Life. | |||
====Chapter 60: Collapsing Abyss==== | |||
With [[Ran]] becoming unstable and the Abyss beginning to collapse, Aren decides to remain behind to hold Ran off, which [[Ara]] deciding to stick by her brother's side as the rest clear a path ahead. Aren and Ara collapse the way behind Ran, slowing his progress as they make their way up the Abyss. The two are the last to make it out, but they succeed as the Abyss Whorshipers swarm the unstable Ran and drag him back to the bottom. | |||
====Chapter 61: Suspicious Invite==== | |||
While the El Search Party recuperated from their exposure to the Abyss, Ran remained in [[Tirnog]] and helped the Dream Demons check the stability of the remains of the Abyss. During this time, Aren also informed the El Search Party that he was too knowledgeable about [[Henir's Order]] and was aware they'd been active for longer than the El Search Party had originally suspected, noting strange incidents while he was still the Royal Guard Captain in Northern Empire, relaying suspicions that they may have had a hand in initiating the Demon Invasion in some way. | |||
