At the end, we were unable to keep none of them alive! I went a bit too overboard there myself. For so reason I got really angry when he looked down on . Is this so sort of dragon pride inside of or whatever? Ah, but yeah, I guess what I did is bad. Thankfully this is just a Dungeon at the end.
And the quest, well… It still completed. It said "either defeat or capture" but I am sure that I would have gotten sothing better out of it if I captured them, dammit!
Ding!
[You have Completed Auxiliary Mini Quest: {Capture Or Defeat The Mysterious Figures!}
[Although you've been unable to capture them, you were able to slay them for good, well done!]
[However, now that they've been slain, you won't ever know where they ca from, and what were they doing here! What a pity.]
[Quest Conditions]: [Defeat or Capture the targets: Complete]
[Completion Rewards]: [ 500.000 Score Points]
[Current Score]: [1.800.000]
[There are currently two more Mini Quests waiting to be found.]
I knew it, if we had captured them, then we could have perhaps learned sothing else out of them, dammit! Now there's nothing we can do about it. And they also said they cleared the evidence already! I guess the bonus Score is nice, but this won't give us the best ending I wanted.
Unless I do sothing within this break ti? Can I do sothing?
"Looks like you dealt with it pretty well, mom." Elena greeted . "We're done on our side, the Mini Quest's done too, shall we go back now?"
"I guess so." I sighed. "We were unable to capture them though, they were way too stubborn on either escaping or dying."
"This level of fanatism is utterly insane, they're really like those cultists, if not a bit worse." Said Mark. "But at the sa ti, it only makes it feel much more similar to what we're dealing with at Luminous Kingdom's capital."
"Yeah…" Rita nodded. "Huh? Hey, Elayne, look, the elves left this behind, the rest of the body disappeared except for this."
Suddenly, Rita handled an item whose description I couldn't see, but I could see their na. It was a pitch-black marble, with a red eye painted over it.
The item na was [Black Marble Of The Recessed One].
"A Magic Marble of sorts? But it has no description…" Mark said.
"Yeah, does it work by absorbing Malice like my Orbs?" Rita wondered.
"I don't think it would be that simple, if those guys dropped this, it might be so source of their power. Sothing that contains it, maybe?" Elena wondered.
"I dunno what it is, but we should return with everyone else!" Lily said.
"Yeah, let's go for now." I nodded, looking at the marble in silence. "Hey, Great Spirit, can you analyze it?"
"On it…"
She quickly started looking into the item's interior and its structure.
"Ah, this thing is not just a simple magic channeling device! It is a special Dinsional Item?! It absorbs and summons the energy from a different Plane into our own." The Great Spirit explained. "Only powerful Spatial Magicians could ever create such a thing! And it seems it might be the source of power for these cultists, I think."
"So that's what it was!" Mark said. "But this is problematic, if they got more, it'll only bring more chaos, we got to tell the researchers about this so they can report it back to the Elders."
"Yeah, I agree!" Lily nodded.
"I suppose." I said. "But… Thinking about it, maybe we should ask them to look for those with Space Attribute Affinity, maybe we could get so clues out of that."
And also, if this is a real item, I could probably use it for myself as well! If I can modify it and use it to channel Power and Energy from my Domain growing back on Earth and also the Verdant Green Domain, I could get a lot of extra strength. However, I would first need to modify it quite a bit.
But for the successor of Hephaestus, that shouldn't be TOO hard, right?
"We're here."
We knocked the door of the researcher's houses, as rcedes with Brisingra greeted us. They seed to be alright. I felt relieved nobody attacked them while we were away.
"Oh, welco you guys! Co in please."
We walked inside, and quickly talked to them about what happened. It was necessary to inform them about everything, even if they were only "recreations" they had minds of their own and seed as real as anybody else.
"Dammit! Such a thing happened?!" Hers groaned. "No! But… So you say they were two Ancient Elves and a Divine Dragon? How did they look like?"
"Calm down Hers, don't pressure them like this out of nowhere!" Cecilia reprimanded him. "They just ca out of a huge fight, relax for a bit dude."
"Hahh…" Hers sighed. "This is getting into my nerves. But Cecilia, you have to take this more seriously. If this is real, then this ans there's a whole cult working in the shadows here! And they said they were trying to find salvation from their lord? What kind of bullshit is that?"
"I don't know, but in this world, there's all kind of people. Even if we are long descendants of Gods, that doesn't an our minds are not prone to be corrupted." Said Elbedo. "There have been plenty of criminals within our society through history. But a cult like this… I suppose this is new. But not like completely impossible and inconceivable.
People that are lost, that try to find salvation in the opposite of what protects us. Trying to perhaps revel against our established society."
"That's… insanity, what's wrong with our society anyways?" Hers sighed, drinking tea while being really pissed off.
"A lot I would say… But it's not like it really matters in this conversation." Cecilia said. "Though, I have heard many people not being content with the Gods controlling us and always watching over us. Perhaps by allying their greatest enemy, the Demon King, they're trying to sohow change this society?"
"It's strange how they're approaching everything, only through terroristic attacks." Said rcedes. "I am beginning to think that this might all just be a distraction, just to keep us busy from what they're truly doing in the shadows."
