Lonesome Dragoness - Chapter 4: Their Bond - Episode 1
After (Captain) and the others destroy the second core monolith, a magic circle appears in midair, and from it countless aberrations emerge. The commander of the aberrations announces that it led the party to destroy the core monoliths as part of a ploy to open a transworld gate.
Grea: Haaaah!
Grea's power enables (Captain) and the others to overwhelm the aberrational army.
Aberrant Tower: Agh! The soldiers of the Sky Realm are more proficient than we imagined.
Lyria: Grea, now! The core monolith!
Grea: All right!
Grea: I'll use my power to save everyone!
The flames from Grea's right hand pierce the core monolith like a spear, and it begins to collapse.
Grea: Huff... huff...
Vyrn: That should do it!
Aberrant Tower: ...!
Lyria: Huh! What's that?
Io: We broke the core monolith, so how come they're still here?
Something is clearly different from when the quad's core monolith was destroyed.
Despite the fracturing of the core monolith, the aberrations remain as they were.
Aberrant Tower: We just now sent the vessels for those two pillars to the Otherworld.
Aberrant Tower: Come! May this be the greatest of days, one in which we trample the skies underfoot and kill the gods on high!
A gigantic magic circle appears in midair.
From that circle even more aberrations appear.
Vyrn: Huh? What's going on?
Grea: Why is this happening? We broke the core monolith that was working as a gate!
Aberrant Tower: The core monolith of amplification which you broke serves as a fetter and bridge between this sky and the Crimson Horizon.
Io: The core monolith is what?
Aberrant Tower: It is a ladder to the Otherworld. A siphon of exploitation.
Aberrant Tower: It is a mechanism to draw magical energy from the abandoned Crimson Horizon and supply it to the sky as we desire.
Io: What are you saying? That the monolith was able to amplify magic because it was stealing it from somewhere else?
Aberrant Tower: Yea. It was the ultimate insult.
Grea: So then you used that mechanism to come from that Otherworld?
Aberrant Tower: Yea.
Aberrant Tower: The opening of the gate in this land was a favorable opportunity.
Aberrant Tower: The casters were so unskilled that the core monolith of stabilization became a fetter, and the door's opening was incomplete.
Vyrn: Casters? Those students passed out there?
Boy 1: ...
Boy 2: ...
Girl 1: ...
Girl 2: ...
Aberrant Tower: Our main forces cannot pass through an incomplete transworld gate.
Aberrant Tower: In order to create a complete gate, it was necessary to destroy the unstable core monolith and remove the fetters.
Aberrant Tower: We would, however, normally be specters in this land.
Aberrant Tower: We cannot physically interact with the core monolith, which wavers along the borderland and possesses no soul.
Aberrant Tower: We therefore guided the skydwellers to destroy the core monoliths, and our strategy succeeded.
Io: So after we destroyed the core monolith in the quad, the aberrations disappeared—
Aberrant Tower: As a part of our strategy, one intended to make you think you could stop our attack by destroying the core monoliths.
Lyria: Then when you made the people into monoliths...
Aberrant Tower: Yea. They have the power of teleportation, but we merely used it to distract you.
Aberrant Tower: You served us well by destroying the core monoliths, which were the keys to crossing worlds.
Aberrant Tower: The gate has opened, and the worlds commune and become one.
Vyrn: They tricked us!
Grea: Is this... my fault?
Lyria: No...
Lyria: No, it isn't!
The truth about the gate makes the expression on Grea's face as gloomy as ever.
