Under the bright moon, behind the natural ablution not caused by nature itself, Cynthia and Xennaville are now heading somewhere. While Xennaville flew with the help of her umbrella—which of course is not an ordinary umbrella—Cynthia this time as if it could master how to transport between land and sea with a whirlpool that envelops itself from the knee. Not to forget also the Conqueror of the Ocean Ruler was carrying a trident in his left hand.
“Newly this time I actually saw a Spirit Yggdrasil..!” inner Cynthia, who several times stole the sight of the person to her right. “Do I have to tell her something? Or ... I still have to focus on my current goal?”
“Cynthia, is that your name?” ask Xennaville suddenly.
“A-ah! I-iya, that's right, Great Spirit Yggdrasil!”
“I know that the inhabitants of the Seiryuu— empire, where it is the land of my container, have wounded not only your body, but your soul as well. Because of them, you lost your mother figure.
“And now, if we lose again those who can determine the End of the World as you know it...”.
Cynthia muses. “What do you want to say, Great Spirit of Yggdrasil..?” lirih.
“If as we speak now, everything that is going on is going well, then your father, Marshall Orsfangr, and your brother, Juggernaut Orsfangr, can be saved by Wadahku, Hitomi Reiko.
“Therefore, I want you not to forget what has happened to you, but to side with what is waiting before us—not—world.”
Cynthia tightened her left fist. “I know. I haven't gotten a clear answer from Zeeta either. I also want to meet him in person— with people who have similarities with me.”
Xenaville smile. “Thank you.
“That's her island. We've arrived. As planned, I will approach them first, while you prepare Tirta Amarta it.”
“Good.”

[A few dozen minutes ago.].
After Jourgan managed to get away from the ocean, with her “segel” condition being released, this Dark Elf could fly many times faster than usual. So, when he landed on a small island, the explosion occurred quite large.
“Haah~ haah~ haaah~” Jourgan gasp. His face showed how much he was enduring the invisible pain. He also held his chest—around his heart. “What the fuck is this... am I ... already this weak...? I just took off ... my seal, you know... damn it!”
Jourgan then found Danny who unfortunately suffered a fracture due to the previous landing. “O-oh no!” although Jourgan felt worried and regretful about aggravating the injuries the tanned red-haired man had sustained, he still could not do much with his current condition.
[At the same time, in the depths of the ocean.].
“You will be a supporter for this Yggdrasil Spirit next to me.” So said Undine, the Ancient Spirit of Water, to his drop, Cynthia.
“I can be a supporter for him? W-what should I do, Oh Great Undine?”
Undine closed her eyes for a moment, then spoke. “Air is life, not only for us the inhabitants of the oceans, but also for the land. What you have to do is simple, but difficult to realize.
“I know my mortal enemy, Ifrit, has helped Zeeta to make her alive again after her magic circuit is fatally wounded. This makes Zeeta even more out of his limits as a Human, but both know what they have to do with that power. Therefore, there was never any commotion from them.
“That's what you're gonna do to those two land creatures, Cynthia.”
“Ma-you mean, a-I turn them on again?”
“Slightly wrong, but basically like that. Isn't that right, Xennaville?”
Cynthia turned her gaze to the figure of the classic maid-clothed lady next to the Undine.
“Elf is a new life on this Earth. As a fragment of Yggdrasil, I don't want this new life to be ruined just because it's helping another life. At least, I want to let him finish what his new goal with his sisters— is to fight with Zeeta until it's over.
“This happened to Danny. The previous fight was too one-sided, but not because of the miracle he was able to survive, but because of his strong determination and training results all along. He was also a friend since childhood from Zeeta.
“Maybe this is just my ego in your ears, but we cannot let Zeeta waver because of the loss of those precious to him when we will face Ragnarok.”
“As Undine says, water is life. If you remember, you did this to a Colossal Tortoise a while ago.”
“You mean Bon...?” Cynthia tilted her head. “I ... can't remember..”.
“In short,” said Undine, “you will be the messenger between my strength, your strength, and the power of this Yggdrasil Spirit, who will restore Dark Elves and that Man.”
Knowing that, Cynthia immediately swallowed her saliva. “A-You sure I can do it?”
“Just relax, I'll do it with you. Now, meet the two land creatures immediately. I'll guide you after.”
“Good!”
......................
“Ahh...” Jourgan's eyes looked deeply at the moon. Its light illuminated the stiff body of this Dark Elf, having previously been covered by storm clouds. The rain also subsided slowly, leaving a body soaked on him, as well as on Danny who was not so far from him—where the man was still unconscious. “I'm sorry, Zee, for not being able to keep my word..” Her tears fell from her left eye.

“If you remember again, my life and my sisters are always full of battles. Even before our lives will end later, we will also engage in battle. Whether this can be called great or not, but this time our battle involves the safety of the world.
“The three of us are Elves as in general, until one day the Great Magic Forest was attacked on a large scale by the Human army.
“We do not know where the Humans came from, because in our eyes, all Humans have always hated us.
“So many of our colleagues—be it comrades-in-arms or compatriots who have fallen in the hands of Humans. Our hatred of them was so deep, that we ‘fall’ became Dark Elves.
“In addition to giving us so much and so much power, it turns out that being a Dark Elf actually makes Elves become increasingly hated and shunned by many other races.
“However....
“We are not ashamed of what happened to this self, because ... we are always straight with what we fight—for the freedom of our nation.
“Meeting with Zeeta nine years ago, brought a change to our lives. The days that are always full of the blood of other races, especially Humans, are no longer our daily lives.
“Before we always went with the power of Elder Hugo to save our nation which is in other parts of the world. The three of us are Volten Sisters known as ‘Goddess Saviour’ our nation.
“Zeeta's arrival in this world, as if changing the direction of ‘destruction’ on himself. It seemed to be a magnet that changed the course of the Elven's misery for him. Even though he was still a child, the world seemed to have considered Zeeta a dangerous existence.
“Therefore, although he is one of the parts of Man that we hate and put to grudges, we believe Zeeta is not like the Man that we have killed so much. With his friends who are fighting for him.
“At least, before my blood-filled days, I want to see a beautiful flower bed, under the warm rays of the sun. I want to have a picnic with my sisters and enjoy a whole day of laughing and smiling with them....
“But.. I think now it's impossible.
“My body is very difficult to move. I also had to try not to lose my breath for too long.
“Tua Hugo accidentally sealed the pure power of our ‘Dark Elf’, because the battles involving Elves have decreased. If this body is no longer able to carry the power of ‘Dark Elf’, then....
“Danny, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. I know you respect me as a warrior and make me your goal, but I can't see you make it happen.
“I'm sorry...”
