"I miss Elfina because she would freak out when she heard you saying that." Sol said.
"Wait a single second Kireina, what the heck are you thinking now?! Are you out of your mind?!" Fiere cried, quickly calming down afterwards. "She usually goes like that, yeah."
"Damn, you guys really miss her…" I sighed. "Well, I've gotta tell you something on the road, so follow me." I said, as we walked through the road that Brunhild told us to walk through beforehand.
Now that there were no buggers, we were mostly safe to talk as we pleased. There was a lot of clouds here so the sun wasn't as strong as when we are in the desert below.
And like that, I told them about Elfina and that armored girl Necromancer, which after thinking it for a while, might be Elfina herself that went through the same thing as Sol.
"Wait, what?!" Fiere asked.
"Elfina was brainwashed and caught by the Genie?!" Luminous cried.
"It must be the reason why she's now awaken but hasn't communicated with us. She simply can't, her mind and her thoughts… everything is now in the darkness." Said Sol.
"Sol, how exactly does the Genie's brainwashing works?" I asked.
"That's… Well…" Sol muttered, trying to remember. "I remember he used my own traumas against me. That bastard's powers are out of this world. He caged my consciousness inside some sort of mindscape, where I was facing my traumas constantly. I saw myself walking across a road filled with all the corpses of the people I've killed, tormenting me endlessly. I was… in an endless abyss of despair. My body ended moving by itself by this fear I felt, I became a puppet, pretty much."
"So he does that… Holy shit, Elfina's mental strength is way weaker than yours though, how the heck is she going to handle this?" I asked.
"Princess Elfina…" Fiere sighed, touching her chest while beginning to cry.
"Damn it!" Luminous roared. "We have to get stronger if we are going to face this blue-skinned man… Ancient creation of the Gods or not, I'll defeat him."
"We are on the same boat here." I said.
"Elfina is someone that has… enlightened my mind and my heart. She's someone that made me look forward to every day as well. I even participated in the war against the human empire because I wanted to protect her." Sol sighed. "Let's go, we must save her at all costs."
"I know, we are just walking there you guys…" I sighed. "In fact we are all moving at sonic speed, this valley is just immense." I sighed again. "And anyways, I didn't knew Elfina had Necromancy within her."
"That's a weird part yeah…" Fiere said.
"Well, the Brainwashing of the Genie turns our primary power into its dark version." Sol said. "My flames became cold and black colored. If Elfina's main power is to summon beings, its dark version would allow her to summon Undead instead, perhaps… So she brought that immense horde of Undead to Brunhild's town, and even the Bone Dragons."
"Yeah she's probably working directly for the Genie, if we get where she is, we'll most likely find him as well right there…" I said, looking into the horizon.
"So that invasion… that killed so many of our people was the doing of your friend?" Brunhild asked, her face showing clear shock.
"We are sorry…" Sol said.
"I am sorry too, I…" Fiere muttered.
"No, it is fine…" Sighed Brunhild. "I am sure that a friend of such nice people like you guys must be someone exceptionally nice. I am sure she's doing what she's doing due to being controlled. I'll help you with my magic and free her."
"Me too, I came here for Kireina due to everything she did for us back in our village, but we'll also help as much as we can." Ariant said.
"Yeah, please count on our strength." Eriant said.
"Uuuggh, you guys are all so corny! Look, there's five giant beetles in front of us!" I said. "Let's leave the emotional talk for later okay? We are going through this path not just to get to Elfina, but also to slay as many monsters as we can. Those beetles were not the last ones, certainly."
I purposedly brought the head of one of the beetles in my hand, the red one. Its horrid odor made it very atractive, as countless other bugs quickly crawled towards us after half an hour of walking down the mountains through the road Brunhild told us to walk through.
"W-Wait a second, did you brought that head just to attract more bugs?!" Asked Fiere.
"A classic game strategy, use the monster that can call more allies to get as much EXP as you can. But this time I just brought his head which I chopped off; it emits a strong odor. This odor attracts its kin and alert them of a threat, us. And of course, their queen or king has sent us a nice gift, even more EXP." I laughed, as the enormous five beetles rushed forward towards us.
