A pair of pointed corneas in a dark vacuum, closed them for a moment, then opened them again. Zeeta is in front of him.
“That woman is impossible for you to beat, with your current condition,” said the owner of the eye, Ifrit.
Zeeta too, who could only see Ifrit from her eyes, did not think much of it. “Why?” tanyakanya.
“As the name implies, this land will make magic and whichever is still alive becomes weak. If you're not careful..”.
Zeeta smiled, then said, “Uhm, alright! Thank you, Ifrit!”
[But a few moments later.].
Zeeta comes to Ifrit again. “Can you help me with your strength?”
Ifrit. “What do you want to do? I told you this place would only hurt you!”
“I know. But that woman ... I have to make you understand how precious Melly and sister Azure are to me.”
Ifrit noticed Zeeta's trembling fist.
“There is no guarantee my strength can match him. If I help you, your risk of losing mana will be higher. Therefore, I will only give you a small portion of it.
"More ... This is the first time you will use my power.” Ifrit then stuck out a sharp hoofed left index finger, on which was a small fireball.
As the hand got closer and closer.Ifrit suddenly stopped, making Zeeta flinch.
“Use this fire to protect, even if it should sacrifice me.”
Zeeta was wide-eyed as soon as she heard it, then followed by a serious look. “Of course!"

The explosion of fire that occurred in the Land of Death— which was shaped as an upside-down bowl, blew strong winds in all directions. Nevertheless, the Flakkas who hid behind the dense dry forest, did not budge. But not for Porte and Scarlet who arrived at two different locations. The direction in which the explosion took place and who did it, it was easy for them to know.
Following the explosion of the fire, which a few moments earlier clashed, now thumped again—even the pressure felt very stifling for Porte and Scarlet— who were far from the location where it was. If earlier the explosion of fire did not fatten the Flakkas, but now is the opposite. They move back—awaystay where it is.
“We have just arrived here...” Inner Porte, while holding her eyes from the mana explosion with the right arm, “but this. What happened there..?”.
Meanwhile, Scarlet, who activated the magic in both eyes to perform the search, was also innate, “Don't until you do something reckless, Zeeta..”.
On the other hand, somewhere not so far from the two explosions, there were three people sitting down to a few lakes. Two of them were see-through, one of them was a grandfather-grandfather with a stick and wearing a black robe. They don't care what happens around them.
“So so...,” says voice of a girl. “No matter where the place and time is, Aurora does suck. Yes, ‘kan, Melly?”
“Me-sucks...?”
“Yes. Only one person I know so far is mentally as strong as Rune, and that is Scarlet's grandmother.”
The girl named Mellynda then smiled. “And now, those two Auroras still want to save us, who are basically dead. How can we repay him...?
“You may be right. Aurora does suck.” He closed his words with a smile.
The old man who heard their conversation smiled. “And my girl also has people like you...”.
Mellynda and the girl next to him, who was none other than Azure, stared at each other. They thought and nodded at each other.
“Send that to us, Mr Edouard!” exciting Mellynda.
“Yes. After hearing all these important things from you, there's no way Zeeta won't change her mind.”
“Then ....
“I entrust my daughter to you.”
“Ya!” reply them simultaneously.

At the same time, somewhere between-arguments—where the sky “duhambani” by giant rocks. Some are mossy, some are not. What is clear, the size of the stones there can exceed the size of the mountain. However, despite being called “hujan”, the time of the rocks was attracted by super slow gravity. The sky is also not blue, but gray— is also accompanied by flying ash.
Previously, Lloyd and Colette were attacked by a half-bull half-human monster named Diablo, and on someone's orders, they were transferred to a dimension. The destination in question is this place.
“Ngghh Colette's consciousness is starting to return. Slowly, his eyes could focus again. Seeing the scenery filled with ash and rocks that fall, he also reconfirmed what had happened. When he remembered it, he immediately nodded. But, as soon as he was about to move his hand, something blocked his wrist. And so are his feet.
“A-what is this..?”
Colette finds herself tied up in cross-shaped magic on pebbled soil. It was also later to see Lloyd fared similarly to him, but was yet unconscious.
“Hey, Lloyd!
“Build!”
It didn't work with his mouth, so he tried with magic. He was again shocked. “Ke... why...? My magic...?” Panic begins to strike Colette. He was completely confused by everything that happened. The only partner who could accompany him, was unconscious.
“Marcus ... what should I do..?”.
As if the situation was getting worse, Diablo came to them. However, Colette realized there was someone on her right shoulder. She was a long black haired woman and wore a mask.
“Hai!” greet the Masked Woman, when it is opposite Colette.
Colette did not answer. He just stared at the two while being vigilant.
“My wish to meet you is only short, Samantha Colette,”.
“How do you know my name...? Anyway, who exactly is—“
“Not bother with that problem. Time will answer you.
“Which is more important, I want to show you something about what is going on.”
Colette cringing.
“Diablo. Show that.”
After Diablo nodded, his eyes shone. Following the beam, Colette saw him—conditions of her comrades in arms.
It starts with Serina and Gerda. They fell on the ground in a very thick sandstorm. From Colette's view, it was as if it could zoom in on itself. After a very close distance, he knew that it was not a sandstorm, but a kind of insect magic creature.
“Gosh!” shout Colette. Then he closed his eyes tightly. “The insects.... ate them..?”
But, after he opened his eyes again, he saw other colleagues, namely Jourgan and Danny.
Floating in the ocean, Danny's body was filled with wounds. Be it bruises, incisions, slashes, and others. The water around his body also turned red. No sign of movement from him.
Inside a palace of the depths of the sea, there were three people in the same space. They are Jourgan, Cynthia, and L’arc. Gritting his teeth, Jourgan gripped tightly onto the spear with one hand. Behind him, there was Cynthia who was already lying covered in blood. Jourgan himself is also in a very precarious situation. With the Soul Stone that was near L’arc and his left hand that had already been wiped out, it was completely disadvantageous for him.
“Danny ... Jourgan...,” Inner Colette.
Then, continued by Azure and Melly— who were on their backs bathed in blood across the village “hantu”. Both bodies are also paled.
“No way ... even Princess Azure and Melly too..?”.
Lastly, there were three people who had the most impact on him.
Break into pieces in the form of ice.
That was the fate of Mintia and Novalius. It is impossible to be re-formed. However, with them, there was no sign of Marcus. But....
“Co... lette.. sorry..”.
‘ZRSHT!’
Blood gushed fiercely from Marcus' chest and back after something pointed and long
testifying. He was at the front gate of the kingdom of Aurora, whose fate was no less bad. They were invaded by magical creatures like slime and now the kingdom is really in ruin.
Torrent crying. That was Colette's first reaction.
“Ti....
“I... This is a lie, isn't it?”
The woman with Diablo grinned behind her mask. “Do you want to know who caused all this?”
Colette's gaze downwards, slowly staring straight at the Woman.
“ZEETA!”
Colette. “A-what do you mean?!”
“Who else besides him suggested you guys to secure the Soul Stone, hmm?”
Colette. “She was right, but ... how could she know..?” the question ran through his head, but....
“You are right, this is all ... because of Princess Zeeta....”
The grin of the Woman behind her mask widened....
