User blog:Baluar/Epilogue+Arc 3 beginning... OHH, FLAMING SWORD!!

    Two years later, and in a different place…

-They are too many for us! – Lindow shouts.

-It’s good to know it, Lindow! I didn’t realize it! – I answer.

-Nia! Lindow! Focus in the fight! – Alisa shouts. She’s definitely got a point: the three of us are having a lot of trouble in dealing with a Fallen Ogretail invasion. They are individually not a problem, but we need to hold the line against literally a few hundreds of them… or even more.

-Nia! – I hear Fran through the comm-link. – Reinforces are en route.

-How long will they take?!

-I don’t know. Maybe 10 minutes or so.

And we need to hold the line for a little longer while, slowly becoming aware that we’re getting overwhelmed bit by bit. And then, he came.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">He really did make a dramatic entrance. Rather than coming the normal way, Baluar jumped off the cliff in the East of the Tranquil Temple (near the place we were in). He landed with both legs and one hand, the other hand holding his God Arc. He cracked his knuckles and took his Arc from his back. It looks more metallic than before… He shouted:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">-See this, monsters? – Strangely, his scream made all the Fallen Ogretails look at him. – This is your doom. – He then pressed a button in the handle of his Arc and it literally got on fire. He can’t resist it.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">With that weapon, he opened up a way through the Ogretails in no time (them being frost and his weapon being literally on fire helped). Each swing caused several Ogretails to go down, whereas we were lucky if we killed one of them with several slashes.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">-You really needed to do that exaggerated entrance? – I asked when it all finished.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">-Nah, but don’t tell me it didn’t look awesome. And this proved a good occasion to test the metal we got almost two years ago when we were searching for Rachel…

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Suddenly, I remember the flaming Ogretail…

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">-Licca really did a good job, didn’t she? – Lindow asks.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">-Hell yeah! And Ken gave a hand, too. This thing is awesome, but it’s too bad it’s not as powerful against blazing Aragami. – Baluar answers.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">-Let’s head back. We have already fulfilled our mission. – Alisa says.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height: 115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language: EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">And we begin our return to base.
