Once the young couple were together and ready, Shiko used his sword to perform a magic-filled slash, which was able to open a temporary portal back to the island.
-Shiko: Uff... So, this is my new power, Master Elysian, are you not planning to join us?
-Elysian: Unfortunately, I don't think this is enough for all the monsters to get out. I must stay and take care of them. I must tell you one more thing before you go, this place was not created by La'Parca, therefore, we will not be free when he is defeated. To do this, you must eliminate Eclipse at once. So, I trust you, I will continue to take care of everyone in here.
-Asuka: Thank you very much for all master, we will do everything in our power to save you all.
-Elysian: I am the one who should thank you, now go to your destination.
With that said, the two young teenagers walked through the portal, which led them directly to the place where the rest were fighting against La'Parca. The portal closed after both went through it, it was then that Elysian decided to go to the room where the sword was located, meeting the star man.
-Elysian: Master Otacon, somehow... You can stay in this world.
-Otacon: It's thanks to the power of the goddess's sword, without it... I wouldn't be able to fulfill my purpose.
-Elysian: So, she gave her blessing to young Shiko and helped him draw the sword...
-Otacon: He asked me a lot of questions... that I didn't know how to answer, I feel that it wasn't the right time for me to know... the fact of who really lives inside it, why the goddess Lunasin has not really been able to take care of Eclipse and mainly... how is it that this demon is still alive.
Elysian: It was the consequences of breaking the rules...
-Otacon: Everything will come to light in due course...
-Elysian: Master, there's one thing I couldn't warn him about... Because I feel like he wasn't ready to know yet.
-Otacon: About what?
-Elysian: Do you remember that moment when Eclipse came into the world and figured out how to break down the barrier between the two worlds? He used his powers... so that he can take the remaining Hero Cores with him.
-Otacon: What!? The ones who were in the world where Shiko comes from?
-Elysian: That's right... This demon took it upon himself to take them for his purposes and now he has them in his hands... so, to complement his powers, the young Shiko will have to face his.
-Otacon: How did you find out about this important fact?
-Elysian: On this place... remained the souls of these beings, having them locked in a room that is more isolated than here, but not long ago they were extracted.
-Otacon: So... This battle will be much more difficult than it seemed for the young man... That damned demon does not intend to rest until he achieves his purpose, therefore, all that remains is to trust the shadow dragon.
After these words, the lunar man said goodbye to Elysian and disappeared, leaving him in charge of all the beasts that were inside the dungeon again.
At the time Shiko and Asuka were sucked into the portal, the rest of the members of the group were still in the rush of the battle against La'Parca, so we go back to what happened at the time when the pair of young people were making their trip through the dungeon.
As had been said, Yun was determined to face his enemy while Rikka, his sister, treated the brothers' serious wounds so that they could survive.
-La'Parca: Well, well, young man... even knowing the danger you are going through, you decide to face me alone...
-Yun: If it were night, I'd dare say I'm capable of tearing you to pieces in seconds... but for now, I'm going to limit myself to using my powers as a summoner. I'll set you free, Kumakura!
Once Yun raised his voice with such words, a kind of magic strap sprang from his hand and from a sheath that he carried on his back appeared a huge beast with the appearance of a bear, which was tied around his neck and joined by the young man's leash - Behold the power of my "Light Tail" weapon, It's a strap that allows me to make pacts with the beast souls I've met so I can summon them when I need them! – Yun said very seriously to which La'Parca replied–Interesting kid, though... This doesn't show me the slightest challenge – he said with a mocking tone. Kumakura pounced on his enemy without a doubt to which the villain only with a small light coming from one of his eye sockets, summoned several flames that surrounded the beast, incinerating it in a matter of seconds– This attack I used, "Lethal Punisher" it is a weapon that only works against souls... I can predict that the beasts you use have passed away and you dare to use their souls for your purposes – the monster mentioned.
Without saying a single word, the young man proceeded to summon his next companion - Go, Ahari, the merciless eagle! – he said angrily – This beast is able to dodge multiple attacks due to its speed... if he manages to get his attention on it and summon another beast, I can plan a strategy – Yun thought very nervously. The skeleton, confident because of the little power shown by its opponent, sent its flying skulls to attack, which rushed full of magic against the beast, which surprisingly was able to dodge each attack of these- Let's go Ahari, five needle spikes! –exclaimed the young man, announcing the attack of his companion, to which the animal began to create five small portals of magic from which small beams came out, which shot constantly towards its enemy. La'Parca dodged the attack without considering the reason for his enemy's movement, when he moved, leaving his henchmen exposed, causing the beast's attacks to intercept them, destroying them completely.
Greatly enraged, the wraith repeated his "Lethal Punisher" technique killing Ahari as well as Kumakura –Very well, I'll finish you up quickly and then take the soul of the rest - said the monster with a serious tone - Soul parade! – he exclaimed, surrounding Yun in a strange field where he felt his soul heavy, unable to move. The specter raised the sword he possessed to perform a magic slash and finish off the young man with one blow – It can't be, I'm really unable to move... I must think, the rest are too incapable for them to save me... Perhaps... Is this all I could do? - he thought while closing his eyes tightly trying to free himself in desperation. When the monster was about to make its attack, multiple gusts sounded behind it, which it could predict in time by dodging these, but interrupting its movement. As these bursts continued to be fired, a scream was heard from a young woman. Toxic fangs! – It was Alba, who arrived at the perfect time to the battle to be able to help- Now Miss Mayla, help the young man! - she exclaimed as she continued to distract the enemy. Mayla entered the battlefield as well and by means of a magic thread coming from her finger, he pulled Yun out of the range of the attack that was keeping him imprisoned, hugging him so that he would not fall when he was pulled – Don't worry handsome, being out of the range of the attack you are totally free – she said with a smile.
-Mayla: The young girl who is healing Tetsu and Light, help me take them to a more distant place! Alba, help this young man in the fight for the time being!
-Tetsu: That voice from just now... and that name... Alba... is it the Alba that I know?
-Alba: That voice... that boy... it is Tetsu?
-Mayla: Let's leave the interactions for later, currently helping is the priority. Young man, are you hurt?
-Yun: N-No... Thank you so much for the help (This young lady is very classy and beautiful!!)
-La'Parca: More and more souls appear to punish... What a bummer.
-Mayla: I won't ask for the missing members at the moment, I hope they are well... well, now let's go!
-Light: Mayla... I must ask you a favor... (I have no way to tell you what happened... you may think for the moment that Dreik is with Shiko and Asuka who are missing) Use your magic... to give us energy and give our bodies overexertion.
-Mayla: Are you crazy!? That brings too many consequences for your body.
-Tetsu: Please... Do it with me too... we need to fight; we can't just continue to be a dead weight... this is personal...
-Light: You can take Rikka and the other brat out of this place because if we use such a technique, I doubt that we will be able to control our powers... but you're able to use it remotely, right?
-Tetsu: We don't mind paying the consequences later... Please help us with this...
-Mayla: ... I understand the situation, it's okay, I will stick a magic thread to each of you to bring my magic to you, I will look for a safe place in which the rest of the members can help to provide part of their powers as well.
-Alba: So, this means retreat! Young man with green hair, let's get out of here!
-Rikka: Well... brother, we must... leave...
Mayla used her ability and created a magical thread that linked her power with that of the young people and thus, together with Rikka, Yun and Alba, she retreated to a safe place in battle.
-Tetsu: Mayla... she is also using a painkiller so that we cannot feel the pain at this time.
-Light: That ability of yours is like a strong drug... At the moment we may feel overpowered, but then our bodies will suffer much worse pain... Do you think you can fight without seeing anything?
-Tetsu: I can manage.
When the young men were in position to continue the fight, the portal opened and Shiko opened from the other side, leaving with Asuka from the dungeon and arriving on the ground just in time.
-Tetsu and Light: Shiko!
-Light: Tetsu... I know you're blind, but you must see this! Shiko brings with her the legendary sword!
-Tetsu: I can feel the overwhelming wave it brings within it, it has really awakened a large part of its power.
-Shiko: Guys... I'm sorry I caused all this... I can't imagine how sore you are right now, both physically and emotionally, please allow me to be of use and fight by your side to defeat this damn demon.
-Light: Too many words... idiot. We don't blame you for anything, but we totally accept that you give us a hand!
Tetsu: Asuka, I'm sorry to ask you to withdraw from this fight, but you can support us by finding Mayla and supporting her with the ability she uses at the moment.
-Asuka: Has Mayla arrived here? Jhmp... I won't ask at the moment, but if you feel it's necessary, that's what I'll do! I will contact her by telepathy and offer my help.
-Shiko: Well, now that the three of us are here... let us begin the end of this monstrosity.
-La'Parca: This has become more and more interesting...
Once Asuka retreated to the battlefield, the trio of dragons were face to face against La'Parca, to start the final fight against the monster.
To be continued...
