【Beginning】
After bidding farewell to the Butterfly, Emerald Monk and the Paladin travelled together for sometime, drifting across the realms.
After having heard from the the Butterfly, Emerald Monk understood that if the man did not help, he would simply have stayed with the Enochian until its split; then, he would consequently have been buried alive. Back then, the man had channeled demonic power into the golem’s body; this not only protected him, but left him unique.
- Yvette the Butterfly: As long as there are green elements, he is everywhere!
Emerald Monk pondered the Butterfly’s words. For some reason unbeknownst to him, he always hoped for the appearance of that person. Although he is the wisest of the golems, he never understood this need. On his journey, Emerald Monk could hear a voice arise from within him whenever there were large quantities of wood elements present.
- ???: ‘Take in the power. Grow stronger. Only then are you qualified...’
A young ascetic was immersed in wood elements. Her asceticism shocked the golems in the forests. They immediately rushed over, followed by Emerald Monk. When he saw the elements, the voice within him grew stronger. Emerald Monk approached as if possessed...
- Terra Archer: Is something wrong, Monk?
The young woman and the elements appeared as delicacies in Emerald Monk’s eyes, drawing him in. He reached for wood elements. Seeing the encroaching Emerald Monk, the ascetic struck at him with his puppet and power. Seeing this, the Paladin rose his bow to stop the ascetic’s attack...
【Before Battles】
- ???: ‘Take in the power. Grow stronger. Only then are you qualified...’
【Enemy Dialog】
- Karis the Zombie Maker: What are you doing?
【After Battles】
- Terra Archer: Monk, honestly, what is up with you? You seem possessed!
【End】
The young ascetic woman saw the destruction of her puppet and realized the fight would not go well for her. Hence, she escaped riding upon the wind. The possessed Emerald Monk collapsed onto the ground, reminiscent of a leaking balloon. The Paladin and the other golems looked upon him with strange expressions on their faces.
Suddenly, a strange meaning arose in the Paladin’s heart, send chills down his back. He turned to the depths of the forest, where he spotted two dark silhouette.
- Terra Archer: Who...are you?
- ???: Me? You should know. That butterfly should have mentioned me.
- Terra Archer: You are the Demonic Withered Savant!
- Withered Savant: Haha! As I said, you should know me.
- Terra Archer: What do you want?
- Withered Savant: Not much; I am just here to take what is mine.
With that said, the power of wind surged from the Withered Savant’s body. The gust blew away the Paladin and golems alike, leaving only the collapsed Emerald Monk.
- Withered Savant: Rock with wisdom. The rites have been prepared. Now, become the strongest weapon.
The silhouette from behind the Withered Savant stepped forward and picked up the monk; they then turned and vanished into the forest.
