[Rock and sea dungeon]

[Kucin point of view]

Traveling through this rather short dungeon, the two of us start to pick up our pace when my adopted brother, Anjin become restless as minute pass. The old elf that is accompanying us, he as usual started to feel a bit of fatigue, which is understandable as he claims to be around a hundred and twenty years old. A ridiculous statement, even though elf is usually regarded as having the longest life span as compare to other, an average elf only live up to 70 at most, but his knowledge about what happened a hundred years ago and what he had showed us so far prove to be true

"Hm?" [Old elf]

"Something happen?" [Kucin]

"I can detect the mana of Drant over the Estel's side of the dungeon" [Old elf]

"!" [Kucin]

The Holy Beast Drant is here? That sound troubling

_________________________________________________

[Elise point of view]

"Thank you for healing them" [Elise]

"Thank..." [Farhah]

"Don't talk so much, just rest" [Linda]

This feeling, again and again. Why are we keep on bringing nothing but trouble. That Motra, he/she do this because all of us, he/she wanted to get rid of us. Now, Brother Ash is severely injured but keep on fighting the holy beast, Princess Diana debutante party become a mess, and Mrs Aries, almost loses her control. All of this happens because of...

"Stand up everyone" [Ex female paladin adventure]

"!" [Other]

"This night has proven something to us, that the threat of fallen god is nearing. Would you rather stand here and do nothing, or would you join me in aiding the ten heroes" [Ex female paladin adventure]

She started to motivate the soldier and knight that are in despair, but

"Screw them! Ten heroes my ass! They're orphan that bring nothing but misfortune!"

"This all happened because of them!"

"Behead them! Just get them away from my sight!"

"SHUT UP!" [Diana]

"!"

Princess Diana, she becomes angry, for us... She then started to take off her bracelet that has the same function as us, to mask her blessing.

"This aura!"

"The princess, she's also blessed!"

"Diana! What's the meaning of this! You are mine, and you never tell me about it!" [Third queen]

"..." [Diana]

"Answer me, if I know about this, I could make you a better queen sooner!" [Third queen]

"!!!" [Diana]

"Tell me, what is the meaning of this, DIANA!" [Third queen]

"You want to know what it means? It means that I would support them, and I would see that they're all growing up as a normal child, something that I don't get during my childhood, it means that whatever I do from now on, I will do it for their best interest not because of my own selfishness like what you did, and most importantly, with this blessing, I will see that they come back alive once they defeat the fallen god, telling them welcome back just like how I always wanted to get! So anyone that have something to say to them, all of you must say it directly to my face!" [Diana]

"Princess..." [Kara]

She will do that for us? Is that really fine. I am happy to hear it, but are we really worthy? All of us have cause trouble after trouble, so surely...

"Nicely said..." [Aries]

"Sis, don't move so much!" [Lisa]

"It's fine. I know my limit. With Drant's power going wild inside of me, the best I can do is sit back and don't get in their way, that's why..." [Aries]

She go to the ex female paladin adventure, and give her lance, entrusting it to her. "Please, do it for me" , before going to Princess Diana side, and sworn that she will aid her and those who aid the ten heroes, and finally

""Mrs Aries..."" [Kara, Mara]

"My twin daughters, and the other heroes... from here onward, I swear by the name of Goddess Achalasia, and by my title as the Paladin beloved by the God of War, that I will aid all of you" [Aries]

As she said that, she hug each one of us, it felt like a mother hugging her child. It's comforting, it's warmth, and it washes all of my doubts away, but alas, that alone took each and every last bit of her strength. She immediately collapses, and now Saintess Rumia try her best to heal her

"Elise... Both of us will perform Chrono Mellontikós" [Rean]

"Yes!" [Elise]

"Hold it! I'll join as well!" [Zerolith]

"Don't forget about us!" [Singa]

"But..." [Rean]

"It's fine. Rean, Elise, Zerolith, you three can perform Chrono Mellontikós right?" [Ex female paladin adventure]

~Nod~

"Then all you need to do is perform it to Behe and the rest of your siblings, while you three keep it stable, that way they can fight longer and the side effect will be reduced" [Ex female paladin adventure]

"I see, great idea!" [Karon]

"Please, we want to fight as well!" [Savel]

"""True!!""" [Lara, Nara, Charlotte]

"The whole Ten heroes thing, I still have zero idea what's going on, but looking at the situation, this is for the best" [Karon]

All of them are motivated, which only leave

"How about you, Farhah?" [Elise]

"It's frustrating... Saintess Rumia can communicate with Goddess Achalasia like it was nothing, but me, as an Avery, still can't hear the voice of mother earth. Frustrating, frustrating, but... Please, let me join you, not as an Avery, not as a hero, but simply, as your siblings!" [Farhah]

"We already are siblings, silly!" [Zerolith]

"Silly silly Farhah" [Charlotte]

"SHUT UP!" [Farhah]

Looking at us all, It feels like this will be the true beginning of our journey, no, a new chapter of our journey I suppose. As the three of us nod to each other, we perform Chrono Mellontikós six years into the future to everyone (with Behe coming in at the very last second), and

"Looking at you, I have no doubt you guys are stronger, but alas, you are still inexperienced, so this time, I will lead all of you. So, are you guys ready!" [Ex female paladin adventure]

"Yes!" [Other]

"Good, Princess Diana, a word please" [Ex female paladin adventure]

"Your objective within this limited time period will be to suppress all the minions of Drant, don't over exert yourself and come back safely, and DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT engages with Motra. One small mistake and you will be death! And lastly, do your best!" [Diana]

"Understood!" [Other]

And they quickly went to defeat the minion.

Kara and Mara, they become like Mrs Aries in term of appearance, and their light and wind mana become stronger, with thunder echoing wherever they go. Their long hair couple with the thunder are mesmerising

Lara and Nara, their fighting style is exactly like Brother Ash, with only difference is that Brother Ash balance between using his scythe and magic, but Lara uses more magic as compare to her scythe while Nara is the opposite

"You guys are doing great!" [Qis]

"Keep it going!" [Bladel]

"Support them! Support them!" [Hunter adventure]

"With this, I should join Mrs Saga, the bard and the vampire to defeat Motra" [Jacks]

"Please do!" [Ex female paladin adventure]

They're changing the tide of the battle. I thought the ants will be smart, but they act rather... primitive? Maybe because they're under control, so they can't really think for themselves, only relying on their instinct, plus, their leader Drant isn't here to give commands

"Calypso, and other fairies, lend me your power" [Farhah]

"Of course, Avery Farhah!" [Calypso]

Farhah, at a glance, it looks like she's controlling all seven elements of magic, like Brother Ash, Lara and Nara does, but it isn't the case here. She's instructing the fairies to do it in her stead, as she keeps on sprouting tree after tree to heal the wounded warrior and to restrict the ants movement

Karon, his earth power become stronger, and so does his hammer technique, squashing his opponent with a giant hammer made out of steel magic, he proves to be a force to reckon with.

Singa, out of all of them, he is the only one showing a new magic affinity, maybe because the other simply didn't realize about it, but this remind me of

(Let see...! I do have mirage affinity, like Brother Ash mention) [Elise]

Not only that though... Well never mind, back to Singa, he combine his space magic with his newly acquired Fire magic (I suppose he got the blessings from Har, the hell tiger in the future). The combines magic not only burnt his enemies, but also trapped them inside a strange cube, that seems to alter the properties of space itself. Weird...

Savel, he is only a half dragonewt, but now, he looks more and more like a dragonewt. No, his facial structure is still that of a human, only his body weren't. Anyway, his ice and mirage magic is something else. He either froze his enemies or make them fight with each other, as well as providing buff to other with pain nullification and mirage castle, which actually fire multiple mirage projectiles to all directions while also serve as a barrier to other

But the most impressive will be...

"Charlotte, she sure is something else..." [Rean]

"Such power" [Zerolith]

Can we call her second Mahsuri? She looks like a teenage version of Mahsuri, and her power and water affinity is nearing Mahsuri level as well. The golem she makes is truly an enigma. From kraken to alligator, it's like she's the queen of mermaid itself.

(She can detect the mermaid back then when neither of us could, and looking at her right now, is there a connection?) [Elise]

Lastly Behe. The Valkyrie, they're all coordinating their attack with Behe as the main force. They provide fire support from a top of the flying pegasus while Behe keeps on giving pressure to those ants.

We are winning this!

"Urghhh..." [Elise]

"What's wrong?" [Diana]

"Nearing limit..." [Zerolith]

"I see. It's dangerous if they suddenly revert just like Elise back then, so I'll put some buff to keep the spell a little longer, that way they can safely retreat" [Diana]

"Right, I'll tell them!" [Rean]

Princess Diana put her buffs into us, while adult Rean here shout toward the ex female paladin adventure. She receives the message and tell the other to fall back, and I'm glad they don't get cocky and say they can still keep on going.

While they're retreating,

"Tchh! Come here! All of you!" [Motra]

"!" [Other]

"Shit!" [Khamishah]

Motra escape the four man clutch in an instant, heading towards them. This is bad, please, somebody, shield them!

"Guild master Ram!" [Syah]

"You guys, make sure those kids are safe!" [Ram]

""Right!!"" [Mimi, Lin]

"Then we will aid you!" [Borg]

Guild master Ram, Uncle Syah and Borg use a large shield to stop Motra. They buy us around 3 second before they're being toss like a piece of paper. Mimi and Lin follow suit, but this time, using their bare bodies as a shield.

""Don't!!"" [Kara, Mara]

"Kara, Mara! Don't come here!" [Lin]

"Get away now!" [Mimi]

But they don't listen. They reflexively try to save them. Motra smile while seeing all of this, it's scary, but

"Goddess, please strengthen those two shield!" [Rumia]

Two figures, two figures of female paladin shielding Mimi, Lin, Kara and Mara. They are

"Aries!" [Motra]

"That was a quick recovery, Mrs Aries" [Ex female paladin adventure]

"It all thanks to the saintess" [Aries]

Those two, because of them buying enough time, Mrs Khamishah manage to use her neutral mana whip to drag Motra back, away from us. Mrs Aries is then brought to the sidelines to allow her to recover while the other paladin continue to help us and others

Mimi and Lin safely bring all nine of them (ten if you include Behe, and why wouldn't we include Behe), before each of us revert back to normal

"Good job all of you, and... Welcome back, please rest first" [Diana]

Princess Diana greet us with her warm smile before

"Where are you going? Princess Diana?" [Elise]

"It's Sis Diana, and..." [Diana]

(Sis Diana!) [Elise]

"This is my territory. I have to support those people whom are fighting" [Diana]

"Then I'll follow you!" [Linda]

The two of them went outside, and start leading the adventures, knights, soldiers and guard. Their swift action couple with only a handful of strong ant minion left to be deal with, manage to shorten the duration of battle

"You guys. Thank goodness you're fine!" [Muse]

"Thank you, Muse" [Rean]

"Of course, I don't want my future husband to die so young!" [Muse]

"Seriously..." [Kara]

Oh Muse, you still have the energy to... nevermind

"Elise..." [Liyana]

"Yes?" [Elise]

"That just now, was my elder sister. What actually happened?" [Liyana]

"Well..." [Elise]
