When Eight-cloud Ink woke up again, he saw a white ceiling.
"Ugh …"
Rubbing his dizzy head, Eight-cloud Ink sat up on the bed.
"This is … Shini-in?"
The room in front of him was the room that Shini-in arranged for Team Asuna to rest in.
"Why, why am I here?"
"Creak —"
"Bang!"
The door of the room was opened. Ashina, who was holding a basin of hot water, saw Eight-cloud Ink wake up and was so excited that she knocked over the basin in her hands.
"Mo!!"
Running over, she threw herself on the bed and hugged Eight-cloud Ink tightly. Ashina buried her head in Eight-cloud Ink's chest.
"Wuwuwuwu …"
Seeing Ashina's shoulders trembling in pain in his arms, Eight-cloud Ink's heart ached.
"Okay, don't cry!"
Gently touching Ashina's head, Eight-cloud Ink felt the silky texture of his wife's hair. He smiled bitterly.
"Dad!"
"Senior Eight-cloud!"
Several exclamations came from the door again. Then, Eight-cloud Ink felt another small body throw itself into his arms.
It was Yui.
"Dad, you've been unconscious for three days! Yui is so scared! "
Three days?
He was unconscious for three days?
Eight-cloud Ink was shocked. With his Shifter's physique and strong recovery ability, although it was not as good as the Vampires, the injury that made him unconscious for three days was obviously serious enough.
Ashina in his arms finally stopped crying and looked up at Eight-cloud Ink.
"Mo, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"I'm fine …"
Although his whole body was sore, Eight-cloud Ink still smiled at Ashina.
"I'm sorry for making you guys worry."
"Yes, Mo, you …"
Wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, Ming Minai pouted her pink lips.
"Don't do this again, okay?"
"Alright."
With Ashina's help, Eight-cloud Ink got dressed and got out of bed. She first expressed her gratitude to the girls from Team Asuna who came to visit her, then turned to look at the silent Elven girl.
"How should I address you?"
"Just call me Isa." Isalia Shiva said to Eight-cloud Ink, "Thank you for your help. If it weren't for your help, I might have been eroded by the darkness again after breaking the seal."
Touching her chest that was still aching, under Ashina's worried gaze, Eight-cloud Ink smiled gently. "So, I hope you can answer my next question truthfully, Your Excellency Elven King of Water."
Hearing Eight-cloud Ink call out her identity, Isa didn't have any reaction.
The girls in the room didn't look surprised either. They already knew Isa's true identity before this.
Although they still found it unbelievable.
"Although I'm Elven King, I'm just a clone."
"A clone?"
"Yes, my memory hasn't fully recovered, and most of my power remains in my original body. Now I can only use some simple Elven magic."
[She's a bit like Aistel.]
Eight-cloud Ink thought to herself.
"Then, as Elven King, why were you sealed there?"
"I don't know. I vaguely remember what happened three years ago. Someone rescued me from the darkness, who had already gone crazy."
Eight-cloud Ink knew a little about this matter.
Three years ago, the Elven King who was assassinated by a god was Elven King of Water.
"Then, what exactly is it that made you guys go crazy?" Asuna voiced out his doubts.
"I don't know. I only know that it was' darkness from another world '."
Even Elven King himself didn't know what it was?
Eight-cloud Ink frowned slightly.
"But, does another world really exist?" Claire felt it was unbelievable. Her fiery red twin ponytails swayed. "What other world? Didn't Shini-in already prove that it doesn't exist?"
"There are some things that I can tell you."
Eight-cloud Ink suddenly said.
"In fact, Ashina, Yui, and I are people from another world to you."
"What!?"
The girls exclaimed in disbelief. Even Isa stared at Eight-cloud Ink.
"Haven't you always been curious about what kind of elf I am? In fact, I'm not an elf. In my original world, beings like me have a name, and it's called a monster. "
"Monster?" Claire made the sound of a monster awkwardly. "What's the difference between that and elves?"
"The elves of your world are creatures that exist in the world of elemental elves. They are creatures that are below the Elf King. They can form contracts with human elves and possess all kinds of powers. However, their origins are still the same. All in all, they can be divided into fire, wind, earth, water, holy, and darkness."
"Monsters are different. It's very complicated and difficult to explain what a monster is."
"Mountains, rivers, grass, trees, flowers, birds, insects, fish, birds, beasts … any living creature that has developed intelligence and possesses intelligence that can rival or even surpass that of humans. At the same time, they also possess all sorts of inconceivable abilities.
"Some special monsters were even born in very strange ways. It's hard to understand the race they belong to."
This was the same as Eight-cloud Ink himself.
It was hard for ordinary people to understand what kind of existences monsters were.
"Senior Ashina, are you a monster too?"
"I'm not. I'm a real human." Ashina held Eight-cloud Ink's hand and smiled brightly.
"Then, why did you come to this world, Senior?"
"Ah, let's not talk about this for now." Eight-cloud Ink avoided this topic and turned to look at Isa. "I've been suspicious since the beginning. Legend has it that Elven King has the miracle of 'granting any wish.' What is that thing?"
"According to my understanding, the so-called miracle of 'granting any wish' doesn't exist in this world."
"In my world, even a true God, or a powerful monster that can contend against a God, can't say that they can fulfill any wish."
Isa fell silent.
"That so-called miracle is actually that darkness."
"Why do you think the Elf Sword Dance Festival is held?"
Isa suddenly asked.
"Isn't it to please Elven King like you?" Alice said.
Isa shook her head.
"No. In fact, the Elf Sword Dance Festival is a ceremony that our Elven King set up to save himself. For hundreds of years, every time the erosion of the darkness deepened, we would send down a decree to hold the Elf Sword Dance Festival and distribute the power of the darkness to the victorious Elf Envoy to reduce the erosion of the darkness. "
"The Elf Sword Dance Festival is an arrangement that our Elven King set up to suppress his madness. In these hundreds of years, we were able to calm our minds by sharing the miraculous power of humans. "
"For hundreds of years, every time the erosion deepened, we would inform the human world to hold the Elf Sword Dance Festival. We look forward to the day when we can completely purify the darkness that erodes us. In fact, this method was very useful — until three years ago. "
"Oh, my God —"
The girls who knew the truth about the Elf Sword Dance Festival covered their mouths in disbelief.
The Elf Sword Dance Festival started hundreds of years ago.
In other words, Elven King had already been eroded hundreds of years ago and started to go crazy.
"One more question. I'm not an Elf, so why did I form a contract with Ashina?"
Eight-cloud Ink asked the question that concerned him the most.
Isa smiled softly. It seemed that after recovering her memory, she became a bit more lively.
"Three years ago, I wasn't liberated yet, but at that time, I still maintained the last bit of rationality."
"I accidentally sensed your arrival in this world, so I decided to give it a try and have you form an elven contract with this girl. From your body, I can feel a very high level of power, and that power is not any weaker than the darkness that corrodes us."
"So I hoped that I could get your help. That's why I let you form a contract with this girl as an Elf."
Things finally became clear. So it was because of this that a monster like him became an Elf.
At this time, Isa suddenly raised her head and said, "After regaining my consciousness, I've already issued a decree as Elven King to let you become the winners of this Elf Sword Dance Festival."
In the eyes of outsiders, the Elf Sword Dance Festival existed to please Elven King.
So it was natural for Elven King to choose the winners.
"Because we can no longer rely on the purification effect of the Elf Sword Dance Festival. If we Elven King continue to be eroded, this world will be destroyed — by our own hands."
"So, I have a request. Tomorrow, when you meet Elven King as the winners, I hope —"
"You hope that we can liberate Elven King?"
Eight-cloud Ink raised an eyebrow.
"You haven't recovered your strength yet. At that time, you were almost beating me to death, and you want me to fight against the five Elven King's original body? You really think highly of me! "
