章 10: Chapter 10: Escaped
Returning to the trio of close friends because of circumstances, more than a dozen gun barrels pointed around, but the three did not show any worries but just smiled happily. But actually they were too scared to know what to do. One soldier grumbled:
"How did you get in here? And what did you come here for?"
Elastor, Julia and Alata pointed their middle fingers at him and said angrily:
"Can't you see that there's a touching moment of reunion?"
They immediately raised their guns and pulled the trigger. Alata immediately touched Elastor and Julia to turn them into ghosts and flew down to the floor below. The soldiers were hit by each other's bullets and killed a few, one of them said fearfully:
"How did they fly through the floor? Are they ghosts?"
The trio then flew up again and surrounded them on three sides. They summoned weapons and Elastor said:
"No, we're not dead yet."
They then quickly dealt with fifty soldiers there. Then they went on to find the next four pieces, on the road Elastor said:
"Hey, how did you get here?"
Alata replied cheerfully:
"Ah, a Grand General named Onias caught me and brought me here to model his painting."
Elastor and Julia looked at Alata with shocked eyes. Alata hastily said:
"What? Don't I look as pretty as an angel?"
Elastor and Julia remembered Alata's demonic face when he was mad and replied coldly:
"More like a devil pretending to be an angel."
Alata replied sadly:
"Come on, I'm not like that."
Suddenly some big guy stood in Elastor's way, he looked at the fur on his chest and said:
"Wait, this burnt chest hair."
Elastor laughed and said cheerfully:
"Oh my, chest hair is burned, who has burned chest hair?"
While Elastor laughed loudly, Julia and Alata were extremely scared because the one standing in front of them was Bahamat. Bahamat was very pissed off when he met Elastor again, he said angrily:
"Hey, that elf. Don't you recognize me?"
Elastor kept laughing and looking up and replied:
"Hahahaha, who are you?"
Elastor looked at Bahamat's indignant face, a small storm over his head. Elastor's face turned pale, he said:
"Oh, oh, oh. Hi."
Elastor immediately ran away from Julia and Alata. After that, the two of them also hurried to follow or die. Bahamat also immediately chased them and shouted angrily:
"Even if we run to heaven, we will still catch you. Especially you, Elastor!"
Elastor turned his head and replied:
"Sorry, but I forgot your name."
Bahamat said aloud:
"My name is Bahamat Weham, the strongest and most invincible Grand Generals!"
Bahamat swung his hand at Julia and Alata, they immediately slid down to dodge and he slammed his hand against the wall. The wall left his hand imprinted like clay. But Bahamat ignored Julia and Alata and focused only on chasing after Elastor. Although Elastor was temporarily unable to use his ability, his strength was not ordinary. Elastor easily ran past Bahamat for a distance and angered him even more. Bahamat put all his strength into his feet and kept pedaling hard to advance, each step shaking all three floors. Elastor and Bahamat ran to the railing down to the lower floors. Elastor immediately jumped down, Bahamat said in surprise:
"Does this damn guy think there's water or a pile of straw down there? He's dead!"
Bahamat also jumped down, at this height he could land easily. But as he fell, Bahamat realized that Elastor had swung onto the railing below, not actually falling. He smiled slyly and waved goodbye. Bahamat got so angry and shouted:
"Elastor Magnum!!!"
Bahamat fell into the great hall of the castle. Julia and Alata also arrived in time, they looked at Elastor swinging the railing below. Elastor said:
"Can you help me? I don't know how to get up now."
Alata sighed and transformed into a ghost to pull Elastor up. Julia curiously said:
"Hey, where's that big guy?"
Elastor replied:
"Ah, that guy? Falling down, it must be painful to get a troll like that."
When Elastor looked down, suddenly Bahamat jumped in front of him. Just now, Bahamat landed very hard on the ground, then he immediately jumped up to the floor of the trio. Bahamat shouted angrily:
"I must kill you!"
Bahamat grabbed Elastor by the neck and pulled him down with him. Julia and Alata immediately flew down. Bahamat grabbed Elastor by the neck and held him down, he said:
"I'll break your head."
Elastor replied angrily:
"I don't have time to play with you!"
Elastor accidentally activated Belle's light element on the soles of his feet and blinded Bahamat. He immediately kicked him in the leg to save himself and turned around to hold his neck. Elastor punched him in the face and pushed him down to help him land on the ground. Elastor said:
"You may be the strongest, but never the smartest."
Elastor landed safely on the ground using Bahamat as a meat shield, he also fainted. The floor around them cracked from the terrible shock. Alata and Julia landed on the ground and Julia said:
"Elastor, are you okay?"
Elastor jumped off Bahamat's back and replied:
"Get out of here quickly, or we'll meet more soldiers."
Elastor, Julia and Alata quickly run away leaving Bahamat still very angry. All three on the run also faced many enemies but they were nothing compared to their power. The shock of Bahamat's fall shook the whole castle, Onias woke up startled and said:
"What? What just happened? Has the empire fallen?"
Suddenly Onias realized that Alata was gone, he panicked and said:
"Alata is gone! Alata is gone! Where are you?!"
Later he looked at the picture Alata had drawn, which was the most perfect version of Alata's face. Onias was extremely excited, he happily said:
"This is the most perfect face I've ever seen. But..."
Onias opened the red curtain to reveal his perfect picture which was a collection of more than a hundred paintings. Onias put the picture together and said excitedly:
"Only ninety nine paintings left. The Imagination! Get Alata back to me!"
More than a swarm of fireflies flew out from his cloak to capture Alata. Zilan fell off the bed but was still sleeping well. Jean didn't seem to care about everything outside and kept praying. Returning to Belle and Xanuguis, Xanuguis brought Belle in front of the four pieces of Horux and grumbled:
"Decode them, use your magic!"
Xanuguis released Belle, she looked at the four pieces and replied angrily:
"Never, I never help the enemy for evil purposes."
Xanuguis said:
"Shut up, you idiot! Do you know who you're talking to?!"
Belle immediately argued:
"No, but I know I'm the most powerful wizard!" (Learn from Grim's arrogance and cursing at enemies)
Xanuguis smashed Belle's face into the keyboard, her head bleeding, but learning from Grim's toughness, she was not scared but more angry. Xanuguis said angrily:
"What did you say, bitch? Are you doing it for me or die?"
Belle replied strongly:
"Even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to do it. Your leader swapped all of our elements. Without my element, I wouldn't be able to use magic. So it's useless to force me to do anything. ."
Xanuguis heard that as if she was slapped in the face, she raised her gun and said:
"Do it now or I'll kill you."
Belle replied fearlessly:
"Who will help you if you kill me? Hehehe." (Learning from Grim's fearlessness of death and the irony of his enemies, Belle learned all the bad things from Grim.)
Xanuguis used the last trick, she threatened Belle:
"If you don't help me, the one-handed guy who followed you will die. I know you two have something in common, like feelings. You'll definitely have to help me."
Belle was startled by Xanuguis' threat, she replied:
"You're acting so cowardly."
Xanuguis said arrogantly:
"I'm willing to do any dirty work to achieve my goals."
Belle was so worried about Grim that she had to decipher four pieces of Horux. Belle had to be patient and said:
"Okay, I'll help you. But if you do any more dirty tricks I'll destroy everything."
Xanuguis smiled wryly and replied:
"If you don't have magic left, what can you do to destroy this place?"
Belle summoned the Fairy wand and said:
"Do this."
Belle waved her wand and destroyed part of the wall of the lab, Xanuguis was a bit surprised by the power, she said angrily:
"Hey! Didn't you say you couldn't use magic?"
Belle replied confidently:
"Yes, but I used my friend's stone element. The metal to build this place is more or less mixed with some stone, I will simply destroy the whole place."
Xanuguis said angrily:
"All right, I won't touch him. You concentrate on your work."
Belle replied:
"We've got an agreement, don't make a fuss."
Belle then observed Horux's pieces. Xanuguis thought with a sinister plan:
"Then I can simply kill you as soon as you're done. You think this game is easy?"
Belle also knows that Xanuguis will have a plan to kill her, she thought to herself:
"I have to buy time, decipher them and find a way out of here."
Belle went on to decipher the pieces for Xanuguis. And with Grim, Owl drags him back to his room and throws him inside. Grim suddenly regained consciousness and immediately landed on the safe floor. He immediately summoned the Hollow sword and said angrily:
"What did you bring me here for? Huh!"
Owl said nothing, he simply sat down at the traditional Japanese tea table and replied calmly:
"Tea?"
Grim was very suspicious of Owl so he just stood there and pointed his sword at him. Owl simply took some matcha powder and poured it into a bowl, then he mixed it with some hot water. Then Owl poured tea into two bowls and set one aside for Grim and said:
"Drink please."
Grim replied:
"What if the tea is poisoned? I can never trust my enemies."
Owl said calmly:
"It's okay if you don't believe it."
Owl took Grim's bowl and took a small sip and left it where it was. Owl said:
"You see? Not poison, if you still don't believe it, then."
Owl took a small sip of his tea and put it back on the table, he continued:
"There is no poison. And who ever brews poisoned tea, the tea ceremony considers assassination by tea disgraceful and pathetic."
Grim thought to himself:
"It seems he's telling the truth, but we shouldn't let our guard down."
Grim slowly approached the tea table and sat down, he put his sword near his left hand and said:
"I'm already sitting, okay?"
Owl looked at Grim's sword position and replied:
"You should have placed your sword closer to your right hand, that would be more respectful to the person sitting across from you."
Grim said:
"Forget about your customs. I have my rules in tea manner. Always be wary of the enemy, if he tries to attack then immediately draw your sword and fight. With friends and family, there's no need."
Owl thought to himself:
"This guy has no honor and no face, he's so special. Warriors from other countries are so different? Fight for victory instead of honor. Maybe I'm still not used to that even though I'm a Grand General for a long time."
Grim picked up the tea bowl and finished it quickly, he grumbled:
"What tea is so sweet? Not as good as Belle's tea."
Owl replied:
"It's matcha tea, it's a bit sweet, but it's good when you feel it."
Grim said:
"Feeling? I swallowed it all."
Owl replied:
"A quick guy like you can't understand what the tea ceremony is like. The taste of tea is sweet, but not from sugar but from nature. The tea has a slight sweetness from medicinal plants, so it's very nutritious. And the maker must have to grind the tea leaves slowly to create a fine powder. So matcha tea is the perfect tea that everyone should drink."
Grim said tiredly:
"Stop talking poetry, what do you want from me?"
Owl replied slowly:
"I want you to give up. You are a reckless and belligerent young man, you can devote your talents to something greater instead of fighting for no purpose or reason."
Grim still calmly replied:
"Nope, I don't have any reason to do that? What a fool you say."
Owl said:
"Do you know how stupid you are when you keep fighting like that? You keep fighting no matter how much you lose, no matter how badly you get injured, you still fight madly. There is no motive for your actions, you fight for nothing."
Grim grumbled:
"Yeah, it's true that I fight for nothing. But that's exactly what I've always wanted, to fight. Since I was born, I have considered fighting as the only reason to live. The feeling of excitement and power when fighting is our entertainment. But that was me a year and two months ago, now I'm fighting for more, for my friends and Belle. I also have my people to protect, they are the ones that matter most to me when only they are left as the last Dark Elves. I used to understand their difficult life, so I defeated my old father with my friends. I was once lost and frantically trying to be king, but Belle was there to make me understand that I don't need to be king but can still help people have a better life. My people chose me to be their king not by compulsion but by my act of protecting them. After the war with the empire, the population of the Dark Elves decreased too much, so I came here to take revenge and have a journey of a lifetime. And because I have found many enemies to fight."
Owl sighed and said:
"It's impossible to convince you. Your extravagance can't be changed."
Grim replied:
"Yeah, hahahahaha!"
Owl said:
"My beginning is the opposite, I used to have it all, goals, reasons to fight, fame, everything.
I was born into an illustrious clan of samurai, my family has always been the bravest and most honorable warriors of the Shogun, and no one has ever been humiliated. I was also a powerful warrior who fought for the Shogun and was named Blood Eagle. My swordsmanship is fast and ends the enemy's life with a single slash. And I am also one of the samurai who obtained the Elemental Spirit, The Time. But I also realized the truth about my kingdom, Shogun was a cruel and oppressor of the poor, I was unable to fight against him because doing so would dishonor the clan. Until the Kraton Empire, after only an hour, the whole kingdom was destroyed, the castle was the last fortress. Rhohan and his army entered the last room, confronting me and the Shogun. We had a fierce battle and I lost. Rhohan killed the Shogun in front of me. Without the Shogun and because the defeat was so humiliating, I had to commit suicide. When the blade was about to touch my stomach, Rhohan stopped me, he said:
"Follow Emperor Kraton, your new master. You're a talented warrior, you can't die like that."
I replied in surprise, at the time I did not understand why he stopped me:
"But I lost in shame but still with the dignity of a samurai, I had to cut open my stomach to protect the honor of my clan."
But he calmly said:
"So are you really fighting for him?"
It was that sentence that touched my honor of what a Samurai is, I have only fought because he was the most powerful man in the kingdom, but never because he was really a good, honorable Shogun. . Rohan continued:
"I have seen the poverty of your kingdom, such a difficult life all due to his cruel rule.
I know you're a man of honor, but you don't have to serve him for your own or your clan's honor. You have been freed from him. Join me and become a Grand General of the Emperor, we will fight for greater things."
And I became a Ronin, a masterless Samurai, the Emperor was not really my new master because he had never trusted anyone more than Rhohan. I later fought under the flag of the Kraton Empire, but for nothing. For twenty years I have been fighting for no reason, a very empty feeling. It's a question I've asked myself for too long about my new purpose and reason for fighting. I have strayed from my original path, from being an honorary Samurai to becoming a Ronin fighting aimlessly. Until I met you, a person who fought for nothing but only considered fighting as a way of life. You are the strangest person I have ever met, you lost, lost your left arm and still fought. I thought someone like you would have to give up now but you still came here looking for me to get revenge. Who really are you can able to do what I couldn't?"
Grim just slowly stood up and replied slowly:
"I am Grim Yus, the strongest Dark Elf warrior in history. And I give up my honor to fight and win. I may lose dozens of times to defeat my enemies, but the only time I win will make them remember forever. You've put too much weight on yourself, sometimes honor is what makes you proud, sometimes it's a burden to bear.
You should learn to accept your defeat to fight for yourself more, not needing to rely on anything anymore. And the tea is good too, but it's too sweet for me to like it, if there's nothing else I'll go."
Grim slowly left but he couldn't push the door open, he angrily said:
"Eh? What the hell? The door won't open?"
Owl replied:
"It's a sliding door, you have to pull it out."
Grim pulled the door open and said:
"Thank you and goodbye, I hope to see you again sometime."
Owl replied coldly:
"Then that will be our last match."
Grim smirked and said:
"Yes, I'm ready for that."
Grim leaves and does not forget to close the door for the Owl. Owl sat there and slowly thinking about what Grim had said and his ideals, he sighed and said:
"If even that rude guy is still fighting for no reason, then how pitiful I am that I haven't understood for a long time. Ah, the tea's cold."
Owl slowly sipped the tea to drink and feel the tea. Meanwhile Grim ran in panic from the Owl's tower and thought to himself:
"Oh damn! Oh damn! I really thought he'd kill me right there or set up a trap but no. I'm so lucky to have kept this alive. And where are Belle and the others, I have to find them."
Returning to Eva and Lamalia, Eva pointed her bow at Everest and angrily said:
"It was you who destroyed our Highland Continent, you must pay the price."
Korad hastily said:
"Hey you, stop!"
Eva shot an arrow at Everest, Rhohan had no intention of stopping the arrow. Korad was panicking because he feared for the Emperor's life because otherwise he would lose his wealth. The arrow flew into Everest, it simply stopped in front of him and fell to Eva and Lamalia's surprise. Eva said:
"So you have magic too, come down and fight us."
Rhohan replied:
"He doesn't have to. Having me is enough to confront all of you."
Eva was angry so Lamalia quickly stopped her and said:
"Eva, calm down, the two of us are in an unfavorable situation."
Eva replied:
"I know, but I wanted to make sure."
Eva said aloud:
"Why do you want to reincarnate in this world? This world isn't as bad as you've always thought."
Korad replied angrily:
"Insolent, do you know you're talking to the Great Emperor?"
But Everest said slowly:
"Stop, I want to talk to them."
Korad quickly knelt down and replied:
"Yes, my emperor."
Eva looked straight at Everest fearlessly and said:
"Now you are willing to speak up."
Everest replied:
"Queen Eva, you've been so positive about this world. You've never really seen the true face of humanity."
Eva said:
"How can you say that?"
Everest replied:
"You don't see your uncle, Vansing Gloria and his corruption when he became king, and it was he who divided the Continent. You don't see Halazar Yus before the greed of magic dark, that his cruelty is willing to sacrifice his people to gain ultimate power. You don't see Reaper Sins, he is willing to torture children and mutate them for his dark experiments. You don't see Zack Madness, who has become a symbol of war by his own madness and anger. You don't see Hatai Wix, who is blinded by fame and power and is greedy for everything for himself. You don't see Eculida Quart, who seems to be the most perfect is actually one of the most sinful. You don't see that your own father, the one you've always loved, is hiding our dark truth."
Eva said with curiosity:
"How can you know everything?"
Everest replied:
"Oh my daughter, I have seen all, space, time, universe, life, death, bravery, cowardice, greatness, humiliation, people, animals.. Through times and space, nothing ever passed my eyes that I didn't know. But not the future, it's the only concept I've never guessed. So our fate is still blinded by something and all our changes are written by it. I want to change that, so that people can change their own destiny without the intervention of any forces. But humanity is indeed the weakest creature, the weak have given up and accepted their weak fate. The stronger ones who overcame their fate oppress the weak. The boundary between right and wrong, good and evil is gone. So I must change this world, The Rebirth of The World must be activated to create a world where your decisions will change your destiny. And no one can infringe on that power. Only then will this world always be as perfect as God Horux always wanted it to be. But the only thing I haven't done is return to Paradise to take away the Soul of Horux's power to have the power to change the Old World."
Eva said anxiety:
"You really have a very negative view of the fate of people. Wait, you said you need to return to Paradise, if so you would be..."
Everest replied calmly:
"Yes, I was once a Celestial of the God Horux."
Eva and Lamalia were too surprised by that. Everest opened his hood, he had the gentle and beautiful face of an angel, his golden hair shone with the golden light of the sun, his eyes were a universe within. Then the halo around Everest became brighter and brighter, illuminating the giant room. Eva and Lamalia had to cover their eyes from the light of an angel. Everest said:
"I had been one of the two most powerful Celestial Masters of the God Horux, from the very first days He created the world. When He disappeared from the world, a council of the most knowledgeable Celestials was formed to make joint decisions for Paradise and the world. I have been chosen to observe the fate of people and I have been given a book, the Book of Fates, which records all the creatures in this world and I must make sure that all fates play out as it is in the book. Imagine, all fates are already written, and just in time, it will manifest itself as it should be, can't change a thing even though you thought you did. I did not accept it and I betrayed the Council, they exiled me to the human world, they cut off my wings but I freed myself before they took my power. But everything about Paradise's place on the wings was lost forever. And in order to return, I need to find four pieces of God Horux to return to Paradise to change all that."
Everest finished speaking, put the hood back on to soften the light. But Eva still says strongly:
"If fate is already written, is it really fate that we came here to stop you?"
Everest replied:
"It's the future already written."
Eva continued:
"So I think that book is completely wrong because so many people here have changed their fates to fight and come here, we are not here because of fate because we chose to come here. Elastor Magnum, my friend, he changed his fate as a pawn in the midst of a war between two races by killing the evil man behind it all. Lamalia Corpu, my friend, who rose from the pain of losing her love, father, big brother to bravely face everything. Belle Quart, my friend, who went from being a young princess with little to no experience, now has to shoulder the whole kingdom and the remaining wizards and witches. My friend Alata Sins, who was tortured, went crazy and lost the life he deserved, found the right way to be the same honest person he once was. And also Urizen Gloria, one of your Grand Generals, who chose to return to his motherland to protect it even if he had to die. And lastly, Zed Whitney, the most respected, I used to consider him the most ignorant and drunk but when I learned about his tragic past, I felt sorry for him. He helped me get here, changed me into a greater queen."
At this point, Eva burst into tears every time she mentioned Zed, she continued:
"He joined my first journey to redeem and forgive himself for his past sins. Zed sacrificed him so that I could change my fate from a weak crying princess to a queen ready to fight all enemies to protect the kingdom. Have you seen all those fates?"
Everest said nothing and remained silent, like he was realizing something was very wrong, then he said:
"You changed your destiny all the way to this day. Perhaps your fates have been rewritten to be able to stop me, look like the Council is afraid of my power. If that's the case, then in the end you are just pawns of the Celestials whose fates were arranged for you to come here. You have been deceived by fate again, you think the important events are your own decision and change but it is all another lie of fate."
Eva replied angrily:
"What do you know about human fate, you've seen it all, so why destroy peaceful kingdoms?"
Everest said:
"I did it just for the sake of them, don't you wonder if after you, the king or queen who succeeds you will do the right thing as ruler of the kingdom. Will they build a more prosperous kingdom or become corrupt and repeat the same mistakes as generations before?"
Eva replied emphatically:
"We have history, we have books to record. As long as they are properly educated, they will understand that they must not repeat those mistakes again. That is the most important thing. Or simply let the people choose their king, if the king is good, he will be loved by the people and keep the crown. If the king is bad, the people are allowed to overthrow him so that someone more worthy is king. Evil is always defeated by good, that is the law from the birth of the universe."
Everest sighed and said:
"Can't convince you anymore. Because you're going to mess up my plans. Rhohan, kill them all."
Rhohan approached Eva and Lamalia and said coldly:
"Yes, my emperor."
Eva and Lamalia prepared to fight and Rhohan summoned the darkness. Suddenly, a zeppelin with iron ram on the bow crashed into the gate of the Throne Room and flew in to everyone's surprise. It turned sideways, pointed cannons at the throne, and immediately opened fire. The cannonballs flew, Rhohan immediately created a dark wall to stop the cannonballs. Suddenly a rope ladder was dropped, Elastor on the zepplin hurriedly said:
"Hurry up, don't say anything, just hurry up here."
Eva and Lamalia rushed over and clung to the rope ladder. Elastor saw that they were already holding onto the ladder, so he hurriedly said to Julia in the control room:
"Julia! Launch everything you have away!"
Rhohan stepped out of the dark wall and approached them. Julia immediately turned the zeppelin back and flew to the exit. Rhohan quickly created a wall of darkness to block their way. But Julia immediately controlled the zeppelin to direct the bow to the sky. Zeppelin destroyed the roof and flew out of the Throne Room and flew away. Julia shouted happily:
"Yeah, hehe."
Elastor pulled Eva and Lamalia onto the zeppelin, he said:
"Are you two okay? To meet the emperor in particular?"
Lamalia replied with tired:
"We're fine, but how did you guys get this zepplin and how did you know we were there?"
Elastor replied:
"First, when we got this zeppelin, I tried to use it to attack in the emperor but failed. And ran into you two. As for how to get it surprise, it was..."
A few minutes back, Elastor, Julia, and Alata accidentally got lost in a hangar containing the newest army of zeppelins. Elastor said:
"Pick one, we'll use them to get rid of the soldiers."
They rushed up to a zeppelin but found the hangar door would not open. Elastor said angrily:
"There's got to be a way to open them? There's got to be a switch or something."
Suddenly Alata's wind drill easily destroyed a big hole in the hangar door. He smiled brightly and said:
"It's not a big problem."
But they realized that the zeppelin was being held by the scaffolding, Elastor couldn't control the zeppelin, he said worriedly:
"Damn it, this scaffold is holding the zeppelin. Julia, Alata, find some switch to take the scaffolds off."
Alata pointed to a big red button nearby and replied:
"Ah, I did see this button, let's try it."
Alata immediately pressed the button in fear of Elastor and Julia because they had not yet activated the zeppelin. The scaffolding dropped the zeppelin, Elastor quickly pressed the ejector button and promptly flew out of the hangar. Julia and Alata high five and Elastor said:
"Julia, control the zeppelin for me, I need to prepare the cannon first."
Julia replied:
"For what?"
Elastor said:
"We will attack the Emperor by surprise, the place with the biggest door is definitely the Throne Room."
Alata replied:
"Ah, I know that place, let's go."
They then quickly controlled the zeppelin to the Throne Room. Alata came out and waved to Eva and Lamalia and happily said:
"Hi, I'm still alive."
Eva and Lamalia replied cheerfully:
"Alata!"
Eva hugged Alata and said:
"And you almost died again?"
Lamalia said worriedly:
"Hey, where's Grim and Belle?"
Elastor replied:
"They haven't come out of the castle yet."
Eva said:
"We have to fly around the castle, firing cannons continuously to mark our position."
Elastor replied:
"Okay, take your position."
Then they flew around the castle and resisted the enemy's attacks. Returning to Grim and Belle, Grim was still searching for Belle, he easily killed all enemies on his way, he worriedly said:
"Belle? Where are you? Please."
Belle was still deciphering the four pieces, she touched the Brain of Horux and thought:
"There are ancient characters carved inside of them, I can't figure out what they mean. But they're definitely indicating something."
Xanuguis was still trying to be patient in anger until Belle finished decoding. Belle had moved to the left, when she suddenly stopped, when she saw that the characters carved inside, when standing sideways, could be put together into a common language, Old Elvish. But when Belle realized that some of the letters were misspelled, she knew she had to put them in the right place on the human body. Belle took a nearby anatomy drawing of a human body, she said:
"Putting them back right for me. Brain to Eyes to Spine to Heart."
Xanuguis didn't understand what Belle was up to, but she did it anyway. Belle was now able to read the Old Elvish, she took paper and pen and wrote them from the left side. Then she went to the right side and wrote the rest. Xanuguis thought Belle was done and prepared to kill her. But when Belle finished reading the Old Elvish, she said:
"Only when uniting again will the blue light lead to Paradise. The four pieces must come together."
Xanuguis stopped quickly because she knew the clue was still there. Belle looked at the four pieces and said:
"Unite? But how?"
Belle tried re-reading the passage in Olf Elvish she had learned. When Belle finished reading, the four pieces lit up, and she said:
"So that passage is a spell to activate the four pieces, open the chambers."
Xanuguis pushes the button and opens the chambers, the pieces fly and float, then they merge and glow to Belle and Xanuguis's surprise. They then turned into a blue flame and shot up into the sky, breaking through the castle's floors and floating in midair. The blue flame released a blue beam and it pointed the way to Paradise. Belle looked at the blue flame and said:
"So the location to Paradise has been found."
Xanuguis replied cunningly:
"And you might die."
Suddenly a sharp smoke hand darted forward and slapped Xanuguis causing her to slam against the wall. Belle was startled to find Grim standing at the door of the laboratory with wounds all over his body, a blade piercing the head of an alchemist. Belle said worriedly:
"Grim!"
Grim rushed over and hugged Belle, he said:
"Fine, I'm here. You're safe, are you okay?"
Belle blushed and replied:
"I'm fine, let's go."
Belle quickly grabbed Grim's hand and pulled him away, he said:
"Hey, but what about Paradise's location?"
Belle replied:
"It's okay, we have it."
Grim and Belle hurried to find their way out of the castle. Xanuguis stood up and angrily said:
"Arghhh! Don't try to run away from me."
Xanuguis immediately jumped out of the lab and chased after Grim and Belle. They saw her behind, and Grim said nervously:
"Speed up!"
Xanuguis activated the machine guns on the four robotic arms and opened fire on them. Grim and Belle sped faster, but they were about to run down the hallway and in front of them was the window. Grim quickly hugged Belle tightly and said:
"Hold on me."
Grim rushed to the window and turned his back to break the window. They fell from the castle, but Grim quickly spread his wings and flew away. Xanuguis saw this and stopped in front of the window, she took out her sniper rifle and aimed at them. Xanuguis said:
"Die, and let the achievement of finding the place of Paradise be mine."
Xanuguis aimed at Belle's head and fired. The bullet flew very fast and when she was only a few meters away from Belle, Grim immediately spread his wings and caught the bullet for her. Grim injured, Belle screams:
"Grim! No!"
Grim's strength weakened and was about to fall when suddenly Elastor tied a rope around his waist and jumped down to save them. Elastor stretched out his hand and said aloud:
"Grim!"
When he thought that he was too weak to raise his hand in that moment, Grim exerted all his strength and grabbed Elastor's hand, Elastor hurriedly said:
"Pull us up quickly."
Above, Eva, Lamalia and Alata hurriedly pulled up the ropes. They reached the zeppelin in time to the anger of Xanuguis for not killing them in time. Grim withdrew his wings and said:
"Ah, anything but my wings."
Eva said:
"Belle, have you found Paradise's location?"
Belle pointed to the sky and said:
"Look up at the sky."
Everyone looked up at the sky and saw a long line of blue light leading to Paradise, Eva said happily:
"We found it, well done guys."
Elastor replied in concern:
"But the Kraton Empire will also know where to go."
Eva said:
"Then we must get ahead of them now."
Suddenly Alata shouted:
"Guys! We got company!"
Grim and Belle were surprised by Alata's return, Grim said with confusion:
"What the hell? Why is that kid still alive?"
Alata replied:
"I am eighteen years old."
Everyone looked behind the zeppelin and saw Bahamat running towards them, he even jumped very high to reduce the distance. At the same time, a swarm of fireflies The Imagination was chasing them. Elastor shouted angrily:
"Come on! Why is that fat guy always chasing me?"
Eva replied:
"Give him a cannonball."
Elastor immediately loaded cannonballs for the three cannons on the left. Alata knew that Onias's fireflies knew he was here, he summoned the Horror spear and said:
"I already apologized, now I have to apologize for having to do this."
Julia immediately turned the zeppelin sideways and when Bahamat was just in front of the three cannons, Elastor lit and fired. Bahamat was hit by three cannonballs at once and had to be sent back to the castle. He flew through the castle and lay unconscious in the garden. Alata took his hair and threw it into the air, then he manipulated the wind and carried his hair with the wind. The fireflies thought that the smell of Alata in that direction was distracting. Eva slowly watched the Kraton Empire fade away, her heart heavy with the hardships of the people there and gave her even more hope to return. Then she looked towards the direction of the line of light along with everyone and said:
"We're going to Paradise."
