To the Depth of Abyss

Eria / 

Castle of Fafnir / 

Two months before the War happened /

"ARS!"

Elisa still remembers the dream very well.

"Skadi! Check if the crystallization got to his body!"

She did not know the detail of what happened. The other people on the scene don't want to tell her about it either. 

"The Infection doesn't reach his body! But that doesn't mean he is okay! We need to call Frida!"

"I already know what happened. Get him to the other room, quick!"

Ars had done something to save her life. Something that took his left hand and get him on the bed for two months not waking up. 

Elisa had read a document about Staff Saint's past. 

The Saint once got infected and almost died in order to do research about Abyssal Radiation/Mana. 

Not allowing death to take the life of his best comrade, Sword Saint done something to save Staff Saint's life. 

However, that resulting in Sword Saint losing his left hand, and his activeness in conquest expeditions. Plus, him being disappeared until now.

Eria /

King's Castle / 

When she kept remembering the incident about the Staff Saint and Sword Saint, Elisa would feel very scared.

"You worried that Ars would abandon you?"

Fortunately, Arlene is there to comfort her. 

"Because, all of this would not happen in the first place if Ars did not risk his life to save me."

Until then, Elisa still didn't get the detailed answer about what Ars did to save her.

She will begin to shed tears when she thinks about the possibility that the same happened to Staff and Sword Saint will happen to her and Ars. 

There, Arlene pulled Elisa and hugged the girl, gave a comfort that the girl need. 

She wants to tell the girl that it is okay. Don't worry. It's not your fault.  However, that's not what the girl actually needs. 

What the girl needs now is the person she loves.

Fifth Night / Elisa's 

Elisa was last in line for the evening visit, because she was the youngest of the six wives.

Elisa waited in the room in dismay. She afraid that Ars will come, but also afraid if he did not come. She afraid to face him, but also afraid that she will no longer be able to see him.

"I want to see you."

In silence and fear, a knock on the door startled her.

Who is knocking on this night? If the person is Ars, he should not knock to enter his wife's room.

"...Ars?"

The one at the door was her husband, the man she loved.

It's so strange. Why is he knocking on the door of his wife? Why is he just standing and gives a cold and complicated look? Why does he look like he treats his wife like a stranger?

"Do you have anything to say?"

Like a thunder strikes upon her, Elisa was so surprised at the question.

Why did her husband asking that? What is the context of his question? 

Elisa realized that she was the one at fault, however, she didn't know which answer her husband wants.

Drowning in fear and confusion, Elisa lowers her head and starts sobbing.

"Why are you crying?"

Another question that is like a stranger treat. 

Elisa can't take it. She can't take the fear of losing a person she dare so much once more. 

So she tries to get closer to her husband, asking for love and forgiveness. 

"I'm sorry."

"For what?"

Her husband keeps treating her like stranger. It was like something really bad will happen soon and Elisa did not want that. So she tries to hug her husband, and begging for love and forgiveness.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry for not believe in you. I'm sorry for hiding something from you."

She was not believe that her husband would save her. She was afraid that if her husband found out about her illness, her husband would leave her.

"Please, forgive me."

She hugged her husband tightly, not wanting to let go.

"I love you. Please, don't leave me."

Elisa wet her husband's clothes with tears of fear and sincerity. 

Her life is over if, after all that, she would still be abandoned.

.. .

After more than two months, the relationship between King Eria's wives was quite bad. Finally that day, King Eria's five wives had lunch together.

"I'm a little shocked that Ars could be that cruel to Elisa girl."

Huxian pointed to that scene as she being fed by two of her servants. 

"Elisa is the first wife and the longest to follow Ars. He has always taken care of Elisa since then. I thought he would do Elisa gently."

Diana thought the same as the second wife to meet Ars. Even though in the night record, she became the first official that Ars slept with.

"Elisa is a good girl, and cute. I think that's why Ars was rough to her."

"You said that while being a mute, and moan so cute when Ars do you on your first time. You still do till now though."

Arlene still remembers when Ars calls both her and Skadi in their first night. 

"Wait, we are talking about my first time?!"

Elisa finally realized that her four colleagues were talking about Ars doing Elisa in bed on last night.

But how?

"Sorry, Elisa. We want to come to help when Ars made you cry. But both of you make up so fast," said Arlene.

"We are sorry for peeking too," confessed Skadi. 

"I saw you in pain last night. Does it still hurt until now?" Diana curious.

"Ahh, I want to give birth immediately and ask Ars to be rough on me," Huxian lustful.

The attention given by her seniors looks quite touching.

However, it was also very embarrassing at the same time Elisa wanted to bury herself in a hole.

Floor 3 / Sector 1 

Adam's Root Area / 

If you are on your way from Sector 3 (World Wall) to Sector 2 (Eria), you can see something black crashing into the Abyssal Layer, Prohibited Border.

The black thing was suspected to be the Black Dragon that appeared in Eria a week ago.

On that day, the Ruler of Eria doing daily visit to the Black Dragon.

"Hey, buddy! Still trying to kill yourself?!"

Every afternoon for the past week, Ars had come to visit the best bud, Alexander the Black Dragon.

However, what was in front of Ars was not Alexander anymore, but the Black Dragon, with just a little of Alexander's consciousness.

"Gggrrrrrrrr~"

After trying to break through the Prohibited Border, which is full of Abyssal Radiation, Alexander – the Black Dragon's body is broken.

The horns he had, which previously looked like they could pierce the sky, crumbled to nothing. Every wound he has emitted a rainbow liquid that looks both beautiful and painful.

He who previously looked dreadful was now creepy and disgusting.

"Nggrooooaaaaa!"

"I'm not bothering you?! I came here to give you news! Bad and good news!"

For the past week, Ars has been doing research on the Black Dragon, and its record on Terra.

-

[Year 3, Fifth Month: Black Dragon]

[When we wanted to open a path to the Middle Region, we came across a terrifying black figure. We call it the Black Dragon. Black Dragon defeated by Sword Saint and Spear Saint with Staff Saint support]

-

[Year 4, First Month: Sin Virtue War I]

[Half a year after one of the strongest Region Bosses was defeated, it has now reappeared, with even greater power and controlled by a Soul Saint; the Black Dragon. Sin of Wrath and Sin of Gluttony fought the Black Dragon with the help of Sword Saint]

-

[Year 5, Seventh Month: Black Dragon Kingdom Conquest]

[Sin of Envy goes to the deeper North Region and conquest a territory alone. He unleashes the power of Black Dragon to win the conquest. However, the Black Dragon power is too strong, the Sin of Envy losing control. Sin of Gluttony trying to stop the rampaging Sin of Envy, but he cannot do it alone, good thing the Spear Saint come to help and the Sin of Envy back to normal.]

-

"The bad news is, it needs the power of a Saint to stop the Black Dragon."

In the first two records, it says the Sins and Saints combine power to beat the Black Dragon. 

However, in the third record, it says the Sin of Gluttony needs a help of a Saint to stop the Sin of Envy in form of Black Dragon.

Not to beat, but to stop. 

Perhaps at that time, the Sin of Gluttony, Troy, could have defeated Alexander in the Black Dragon form. But to beat – to kill is not the way. So he needs a help of a Saint to bring Alexander out. 

"The second bad news is, the last active and known Saint had died in the war."

"Gggrrrrrrr~"

"Yeah, the old lady Jeanne has died."

"Nggggroooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

As if not wanting to believe Ars' words, the Black Dragon went berserk.

It tried to grab Ars with its broken claws and shattered fangs.

Ars teleported to avoid all those minor threats.

"And the good news is, I finally decided to end your life here."

The Black Dragon stopped. Hearing the word 'kill' aroused its defensive instincts.

Ars had to take out a single Sinaga Sword. 

His foe, knowing it would hard for it to win, putting up a defensive stance. 

Then he just stood there, silent. 

"Ggrrrrrr~"

"What? You asking me why I become silent? I'm not silent. I was thinking about how I should finish you off."

Even though he said that, Ars still remains silent on his feet. Not even moving an inch. 

Losing its temper, the Black Dragon shot forward with its disgusting mouth.

"Ooh, you are approaching me? Instead of running away for your life, you approaching me?"

It was a stupid decision for a dragon who, a week ago, shook the world with its roar. 

However, the fearful dragon now got easily killed by just a stab to its chest. 

After that, its unravel into blackish particle, until it gave rise to a group of white light that fell on Ars's side.

"Yeah, see you again, bud."
