[You have escaped. Congratulations, surely all your problems are over and you can return to your apartments- Oh, wait, no.]

[Another crystal springs to life, of the ten. This gate once ran off the powers of the gods themselves, perhaps, because it requires so much energy. But they strain for Battler, trying to spring to life.


The tentacle-mouthed things attach themselves to the sanctuary and they-

They devour it. Whole.

And they keep coming.

The bone golem reels from the blast, shattering a rotten building as it falls.]

[fuhrinkaed]

So they can just... eat it.

Greeeat.

Okay. It's fine. I've got this! Let's just...

[He holds his hands forward, landing a bit away from the demons.] Radiant frost of the betrayer's hell! Lay waste to my enemies! Cocytus flare!

[And he's firing a burst of power forward that will be freezing a good hundred feet or so's worth of air and ground and hopefully tentacle demons straight at the mass.]

[He can hear Beato mocking him for taking this long. The more he works, the more butterflies start to appear, circling around the crystals-

When something finally occurs to him.] ...Ed, can you charge other things with that power of yours?

[Back to the reviving until he gets an answer. Shine, be brilliant, Remember all that you were.]

[floatingplot]

[They freeze, all of them.

And then.

And then.

Slowly, steadily, they begin to absorb the power of the ice. You've bought time, but at a cost.]

[fuhrinkaed]

[Ed flies back up and looks in the window.]

Huh? Oh, yeah, I recharge dead crystals all... the...

...time.

[His eyes widen as it hits him.]

God I'm dumb.

[He rolls up his left sleeve, as green runes spread over just that arm. Battler, if you can sense magic power, there is an INSANE amount running through his left arm, and only the left arm right now. He lands, and points it towards the crystals.]

Let's do this!

[The runes glow brightly, as he begins to charge the crystals all at once. Plus side? The crystals are getting supercharged by an entire world's source of raw undiluted magical power.

Minus side? There's a gargantuan beacon of raw undiluted magical power right in the temple, that'd be easily felt by anything that feels, eats, or wants to chew on magic within the entire shield.]

[endlesslyuseless]

...[Battler stares for a moment. And then, without a single word, grabs Ed by the collar and YANKS HIM THROUGH THE PORTAL.]

I really hope they don't come through after uuuusss.

[floatingplot]

[AND YOU'RE THROUGH-]
