In the dimension where the stone ruins fell at a very slow speed, the sky was gray, the air was filled with ash, the Dark Lord was enjoying his playing time with Diablo. A game called darkening the mind and heart of a girl named Colette. One more step, he will achieve his victory.
“Do you want to know who caused all this?” ask the Dark Lord.
Colette's gaze downwards, slowly staring straight at the Woman. The view looks empty—it will no longer have light.
“ZEETA!”
Colette. “A-what do you mean...?!”
“Remember, Colette! Who else besides him is advising you guys to secure the Soul Stone, hmm?”
Colette remembered him again. “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....”
“Win!” In this game, the winner is himself. That is how the Ruler of Darkness thinks.

“DON'T BE FOOLED BY HER, COLETTE!”
Colette's blank look earlier, shone again after Lloyd's voice was heard.
“This rotten man has lied to you, just to fulfill his satisfaction! Everyone he called, STILL FIGHTING!
“Remember, all of us, both humans and Elves, have been determined to protect Zeeta and continue living with her!
“We all know Zeeta can't be left alone. He needs all of us to help. Hence....
“THEY WON'T BE THAT EASY TO GIVE UP AND DIE!”
‘CRACK!’
A crack in the cross-shaped magic that was holding Lloyd appeared on his wrist.
“What?!” The Dark Lord had not expected Lloyd to do so.
A black aura burst out from Lloyd's body. Just from that burst of aura alone, able to free her from the magical restraints of the cross completely—also freed Colette who immediately drooped limp. Despite drooping, he was still able to sit folding his legs. “Lloyd...,” he said slowly.
The explosion of Lloyd's aura not only freed them from cross magic, it could also make Diablo retreat— as if frightened. The Ruler of Darkness is confused. What, why, how, he so desperately wants to do.
“Remember, Foul Man,” said Lloyd, looking down and walking closer to his two enemies. His footsteps, also made footprints on the gravel ground and flew the pebbles away. “I or Elder Hugo, never fought Zeeta seriously. I don't know how you got here, but I won't forgive you for threatening Grandtopia.
“Do not think just because you wear a mask, I—we Elf—cannot recognize your identity.”
“Cih!” The Ruler of Darkness moves away from Diablo. “No longer need to hold yourself back, go on a rampage, Diablo!”
Thick lips with sharp teeth circular Diablo as if blooming. In fact, the word “dagu” seems useless to him. From under the chin that looks like a bloom, sticking out a long tongue covered with poison.
“Now, once I know who you are, I don't need to be vigilant about who I'm going to fight - even though it's a creature of your creation!— lloyd exclaimed, which continued with horse riding. He then imagined what his fight with Zeeta was like when he first met.
“Pocus magic on the soles of my feet—because this will make me able to move suuuper fast. My punch is also the same exercise concept. This has been taught by my teacher Ashley, it's just .. only this time I really practice it... hehehe..”.
With the same concept, but with a much different power capacity....
Lloyd appeared right in front of Diablo whose mouth was wide open. But, not only did it appear in front of him, like slowing down time, the footprints on the pebbled ground appeared later along with a trail of smoldering flames. Strong winds also blew as a result of the power of Lloyd who was dubbed as the Strongest Elf Number Two.
After appearing in front of Diablo, Lloyd instantly coated his right punch with his black mana, to pierce through the body of this creepy carnivore in front of him.
‘BBWWUUMMM!’
Diablo's stomach was visibly constricted by Lloyd's arm, but, at the same time, a melting sound was heard. Despite being hit hard by Lloyd, Diablo was able to fight back.
Still hiding behind his mask, the Dark Lord smiled. But, as if Lloyd was reading his thoughts, he glared at her while screaming, “Do not think that I cannot know!”
The sound melted earlier, sounding louder and louder, making Diablo groan loudly. Then, following the melt, a loud explosion sent it off from Lloyd. A splash of purplish black blood enveloped half of Lloyd's body.
“Why...?” finally the Ruler of Darkness was cornered. “Why can you be this strong?! My Diablo I formed from where I and Flakka, you know! No attack should be able to land on him!”
“YOU'RE STUPID!” lloyd's scream, making the Dark Lord a little jolted. “Have you escaped, who is the Elf, the Ruler of Darkness?!
“HAVE YOU MISSED LUCY?!”
The Dark Lord who was silent from Lloyd's emotionally-burned clasps, finally opened his voice.
“So what do you mean?!
“All the names you call, I don't even know him!”
Head grout instantly embossed at Lloyd's temple. “Hah..?!” his black aura grew thick and explosive. “Don't play around with me, Boy…!
“Not know him...?!
“Omong empty what is it?! You have used two Humans from Seiryuu to become your pawns and attack Grandtopia!
"Am I that stupid, to be played with by such words?!”
The giant stone ruins that rained down on the sky, began to fall apart the falling grooves. Over the exploding aura of Lloyd— cause where his body is continuous with nature and able to blow everything. In fact, lava eruptions also began to appear around them.
Colette, on the other hand, is between understanding and not what is going on. He wanted to do something, but what? He himself wasn't sure he could calm Lloyd down.
That's when....
“Yeah, fucked up.... Calm down, all of you!” A two-tailed fox demon, appeared walking from behind the Dark Lord.
“A-You...?!” Lloyd was instantly able to calm down a bit of his angry outburst.
“Ap... a..?” The Dark Lord was shocked as well.
“When I was told to stand guard, it happened like this. You do bring trouble wherever you are, Zeeta.”
Glued, the Ruler of Darkness can not take his eyes off who just came—Luna.
“Great Spirit, Luna!” exclaimed Colette, who finally had hope of getting close to them. “How can you...?”
“Easy.
“The whereabouts of this man.” By doing a flick move, Luna smashed the mask of the Dark Lord.
The real Colette had guessed, surprised when she saw the eyes behind the mask crying. So, inevitably, he asked. “What this guy really is... Princess Zeeta?”
“I don't know,” replied Luna.
“Eh..?” Lloyd and Colette don't believe it.
“I've told you that when I visited Zeeta's future when he became the Dark Lord, all I could use was him, Danny, Gerda, and Mellynda.
“That means, as the Spirit of Yggdrasil chose it as a container, I know what the flow of mana is like from it. Moreover, this girl is not silver-haired, but black.”
Lloyd and Colette looked at him intently.
“Indeed, anyway, Princess Zeeta's face is attached to it..,” Colette said looking from top to bottom, “more, her chest... Cih...!”
“I-this is just a theory from me,” continued Luna, “but this girl is from a world that is three hundred and sixty degrees different from us and a future that has me and Zeeta peeking into.
“Manipulating his own mana to create this kind of dimension, toying with other humans as if they were toys, also creating crazy monsters back there. Seen from nowhere, no one can do this kind of thing other than Zeeta, but the Zeeta we know is not this cruel.”
The ruler of Darkness who had been crying, wiped his tears. “Why ... can you know that it's me?” tanyakanya.
“I know? Of course not.
“The one who understands you the most, is only yourself.”
The Darkness Ruler frowned. “I?”
“Tell me. Can you use Rune?”
“Uhm.”
“Have you tried it on yourself?”
“Ha... huh?” even the Dark Lord was confused.
“YA. That's what you're the world version of doing. It's so crazy, even I made it a container, don't expect it!"
