Adventure In Another World Eclipteria
Chapter 26: Endless Conflicts.

Abyssal Sphere Tower (Entrance gate),

“Sial, what the hell is he!” Grumpy carres, not believing in the strength of the person he just fought.

Elina, who had arrived at the entrance of the Abyssal Sphere Tower, looked at the group of people who looked tired and frightened. Carres, who had just experienced a fierce fight with Haruki, immediately walked up to him with a clear dissatisfaction visible on his face.

“Hey, in the information you provided there is no monster like him!” Carres snapped, he was very upset that he was not told of a very strong figure like Haruki.

Elina responded, trying to explain, "I'm sorry, Carres. I didn't know that he would appear there as an enemy. Haruki is a human child who possesses extraordinary powers."

Carres was furious and frustrated by the situation they had just experienced inside the tower. He felt humiliated and angry towards Elina. In a sharp tone, he said, "Son of man? Are you sane, he's a monster! We almost got killed in there! You should tell us about such a threat."

Elina tried to explain further, "Carres, I really don't know what has happened to Haruki. This is an unexpected development, and I'm sorry if we don't give enough information."

However, Carres remained stubborn. "I don't want to know anymore! Compensate for the losses we have!"

Elina was saddened and struck by Carres' harsh reaction, but she understood that this group had been subjected to a lot of stress and pressure. He had to figure out a way to fix the situation and resolve the matter wisely.

Elina responded with her head held high, "Alright, we will immediately compensate." He promised to compensate Carres and his colleagues as the first step in resolving the issue.(Carres smiled satisfied) “Good, if you understand.” Carres and his partner leave Elina.

Elina approaches Aiko, kira, Lily, and Sera “Are you okay?” Elina asked worriedly.

Aiko, Kira, Lily, and Sera looked at each other before Sera replied with a faint smile, "We're fine, Elina. But the battle was really hard. We've never faced such a threat before."

Elina nodded and felt grateful that they all survived. "I'm glad you're okay. We have to be careful inside this tower, especially after the meeting with Haruki."

“Can you tell me what happened with Haruki?” Elina asked, curious about Haruki's change.

“So this started when, we were on the 30th floor to find the artifact that Sera was looking for.” Kira opened the story.

Kira begins her story meticulously, recounting their experiences on the 30th floor and how Haruki suddenly turns into a powerful and dangerous enemy. He explains how Haruki attacked them with unexplainable force and those who were ultimately left alive by Haruki.

Elina listened carefully, her expression mixed between confusion and concern. After Kira finished telling the story, Elina said, "It was terrible. Whatever happened to Haruki, it seemed like he had lost control and turned into something much stronger than before. I'm very saddened by the passing of one of the most talented adventurers.“

In the domineering silence, the five girls contemplated the event they had just experienced. They felt worried and filled with questions about what happened to Haruki, and also about the future of the battle in the Abyssal Sphere Tower.

Sera finally broke the silence. "We need to find out more about what happened to Haruki and why he changed like that. Kira, can you devise a plan to approach Haruki without threatening him, and maybe try to get him back to his original state?"

“What do you mean Kira? Have you ever met Haruki?” Aiko asked, feeling awkward with Kira's statement.

I realized he had said something he shouldn't have told anyone else. “I'm sorry, I just misremembered. I mean if Haruki used to be that kind of person.” Kira assures me that she did mispronounce.

Aiko, Kira, and the others pondered over Kira's words with curiosity still lingering. They know that Kira is keeping something, but they don't want to force her to talk if she's not ready.

Lily tried to break the silence, distracting. "Alright, we should focus on the plan to approach Haruki. We have to figure out what happened to him and if there's any way to get him back to his original state."

They all nodded in agreement, and attempted to plan their approach to Haruki.

On the other hand,

Belial, wounded and alone, looked around with deep frustration and anger. His wounds evoke memories of the words of someone who once reminded him of the importance of strength and independence. Although he was currently feeling beaten up, he also felt compelled to strengthen himself.

When Belial thought about the current situation, he decided that he should become stronger and not rely on anyone. He knew that there was a greater power that he had to fight for, and he would do anything to achieve his goal.

With renewed determination, Belial promised himself that he would come back stronger and ready for any impending threat. He knew that this journey was not over yet and that he would continue to strive towards his goal of mastering the Abyssal Sphere Tower.

Belial, who had begun to rise, found someone standing before him. “Aurora? What are you doing here?” Belial asked feeling that something bad was going to happen to her.

“Belial,” Sapa Aurora with a very sweet smile. “Sorry but you are no longer needed.”

“A-what do you mean-” Belial's speech was cut off because now his head was separated from his neck.

Aurora, with a very sweet smile, beheaded Belial quickly and suddenly. This action was so sudden and cruel that Belial did not even have a chance to understand what was going on. His body fell to the floor, and his eyes that were still filled with confusion dimmed as his life faded.

Aurora, after completing her task so efficiently, disappeared from the place as quickly as she appeared, leaving Belial who was killed on the floor of the Abyssal Sphere Tower.

Aurora, who had watched Haruki and Yuki from afar, could not help but smile when she saw the two of them together. Haruki's beauty and change seemed to have captivated her heart.

"You are right, Queen" said Aurora, still smiling. "She is so beautiful."
