LIRI

NOW STRIKE

Ack! I still lost!?

Feni: "Liri!!!"

Arthur: "You're literally just as weak as you were before. Did you really think that the power of love could defeat me? Not even all the gods could best me in art of swordplay."



A mysterious voice is heard from everywhere at once..

???: "It seems you've lost the aspect of love."



Arthur: "Curag..."



Curag: "You can no longer threaten my marriage! Now you can't force me to submit to your orders."

Arthur: "I'll cut you down again, fool. I did it once and I can do it again."

Curag: "I'd say you're welcome to come and try, but there's no way I'm going to let you step in my ocean again."

Arthur: "I'm already in the ocean! How do you plan to keep me out when I'm already here?"

Curag: "Well, maybe if you hadn't stolen so many powers, these girls wouldn't need you to do the element thing with them all the time!"



Arthur: "SHIT!"

Arthur vanishes



Curag: "Hello girls. I'm the god of water. Don't worry, Arthur can't hurt you anymore, as long as you stay underwater!"

Liri: "Underwater? What does that mean?"

Curag: "It's like the word 'underground'. What I'm saying is that the ocean doesn't go up forever. There's an altitude at which the ocean ends and the air begins."

What?!??!! That... goes against literally every religion in every mermaid culture!!! Could it.. really be true??

Feni: "Air? I've felt that. It's horrible. And now Arthur is up there, trapped? Where's Ilun?"

Curag: "A god must meet you to give you girls your elemental powers. The god of lightning appeared to Rasa to grant her lightning powers, and the god of darkness appeared to Cipi similarly for her element. Arthur is not technically a god, but he has the same godly powers, so he has these duties as well, but must appear physically in person. Now that you, Liri, have gotten the power of love from him, he has been summoned to give other powers to Ilun."



Feni: "WHERE'S ILUN?"

Curag: "...she's far above us, above the water. She was frozen, and when the ceiling broke, the water flowed in and she floated out."

Feni: "What's going to happen to her????"

Curag: "I don't know. While I have the power to keep Arthur out of the water, I don't have the power to get him out. I'm sorry but, Ilun had to be sacrificed to remove Arthur and save my domain from him. It will do no good to worry about her now."

No! Poor Ilun!

Curag: "Please just... focus on getting rid of all these zombies. Without Arthur controlling them, they are not going to simply loiter around the streets anymore. Now ALL of them are dangerous."

Feni: "No! I can't just give up on Ilun!"

Curag: "I don't think there's a way to save her. I'm sorry. You have to fight the zombies."
