Chapter 931 Divine Dungeon: Ancient Valley

?-----

FLAAASH!

[You and your Party have entered the [Divine Dungeon: Ancient Valley (Cloudia Fragment 1/5)] [Danger Level: 300+]!]

[Warning: Your Level is too low. You may receive further penalties for entering.]

[The Ancient Valley was one of the largest cities of the Floating Continent of Cloudia, built by the Ancient Elves and the Divine Dragons in conjunction, it was both a safe heaven and also a path with a beautiful valley that connected to the other four Cities of Cloudia.]

As we entered the Dungeon, we all were trapped within some sort of strange, illusory domain. We could only watch as our surroundings changed. It felt like we were moving from the skies down to the ground.

"W-What's happening?!" Anikitty cried. "Nyaaaagh!"

"C-Calm down! I think we entered in some sort of special dungeon; it is one that tells a story, a Scenario." I explained.

"Like Ignis said…!" Angelina muttered.

"T-This is nuts! Are we falling from the skies?!" Ambil panicked.

"Calm down, we're safe, we're simply being shown what we need to see." I said. "Just listen carefully to the messages… I think this is important information we'll never learn anywhere else."

"So this is Cloudia's Ancient Valley…" Brisingra said. "So beautiful, a garden of flowers…"

From above, we could see a beautiful grassland that extended almost endlessly. In the middle of it, a beautiful and colorful garden of flowers surrounded a city made of white stone. And inside of this gigantic city, there were countless elves and… dragons, living together.

The city had many roads, surrounded by beautiful forests and valleys, which connected to faraway cities within Cloudia.

So just as the message said, this was the Ancient Valley of Cloudia.

[The Ancient Valley was a place where Elves and Dragons lived together and prospered, with the help and enlightenment of the Gods themselves, who would sometimes descend from Heaven to visit them temporarily]

[Inside of this city, the Ancient Elves and the Divine Dragons researched the Nature of the World of Arcadia, alongside the existence and powers of the Demon Kings that have been sealed before.]

The scenery changed once more, showing the Ancient Elves and the Divine Dragons working together, living together, and researching together. They were powerful, smart, and long lived. They dedicated most of their lives to understand the world.

"Are they Ancient Elves?" Rita wondered. "And big dragons!"

"I can't believe it… We're really seeing the past!" Acorn cried.

"Ancient Elves…?" Brisingra looked around. "Mother! Mom! Are you there?"

However, no matter how much she tried to call for her, no elves answered. They couldn't see us. After all, this seemed to be a fabrication, a fragment of the world's memory.

"Brisingra…" I held her hand. "Calm down."

"A-Ah… Sorry." She sighed.

[After the Sealing of the Sixth Demon King, people around the world were finally able to enjoy a peaceful Era that lasted thousands of years.]

[Using this time, the Ancient Elves and the Divine Dragons did their best to research how to properly kill the Demon Kings, whose bodies and souls were so powerful they could only be sealed, incapable of being destroyed.]

The scenery kept changing more and more, as it showed a group of Ancient Elves and a Dragon, on her Humanoid form. It was a group of four, researching inside of a laboratory full of divine artifacts sealed fragments of the Demon Kings. However, they seemed worried that they had not found a reason on why Erebus was so indestructible yet.

[Despite their best efforts, they were still without advancing in their research. And while they were bidding their time doing this, they were unaware that as the Era of Peace began, the seventh Demon King was slowly being born from the last Fragment of the Erebus left behind.]

"This is hopeless… No matter how much we attempt to use the power the gods granted us to experiment, it doesn't seem to work." Sighed one of the Ancient Elves, a woman with short silvery-white hair and sharp yellow eyes, wearing a gray robe that covered most of her body. "Hermes, any changes? Did the Divine Ray of Sunlight worked?"

"No, it hasn't worked even after I've tried its constant exposure for fifty years now." Sighed a blonde-haired Ancient Elf man, wearing similar gray clothes. "This is indeed hopeless. Even our Time Manipulation Magic cannot extend the duration of these Divine Relics too much."

"By the Yggdragon, what can we do now?" The Dragon man sighed, covered on golden scales, with glossy brown skin, muscular and bulky arms and body, and sharp brown eyes, with long black hair. "Not even the Divine Dragon Magic I've worked for so long can do it."

"I know we've been working relentlessly so far, Cecilia, Hermes, Elbedo." An Ancient Elf woman with long, silvery-white hair and sharp emerald eyes spoke. I noticed Brisingra gasping as the woman moved down her hoodie, revealing her beautiful and flawless face.

Her eyes, her expression, even her lips and her face, without a doubt. That woman looked almost the same as Brisingra.

"But this is a task the Gods have given to us. We cannot lose hope. We simply have to try another method, there are infinite combinations. Something must work, eventually. We have a lifetime of thousands of years to try. And even when finally die, others will take our steed."

"Mercedes…" Sighed Cecilia. "I suppose you're right…"

"Mercedes?!" Brisingra cried. "M-Mom?! It's mom! It's really her! She looks just like me in the mirror and… Her name is the same!"

As Brisingra started jumping out of excitement to talk to her, she phased through her body, noticing she wasn't real, just an illusion. She fell to her knees, hitting a mirror-like floor made of glass.

"A-Ah… Right… She's not real." She sighed.

"Brisingra…" I quickly helped her stand up. "I know it must be hard for you but… We finally found her, even if it's an illusion. Let's follow this dungeon's guidance, and find out about your mother, and what happened to them, alright?"

"Okay…" She nodded. "Sorry…"

"It's fine, girl. I would probably react the same in your shoes." Rita smiled at her.

"Now, let's concentrate." Mark said. As we continued seeing the scene.
