Eli's vision blurred as she wondered who were the people who were shielding her from the approaching Birsha.
With the remaining memories in her mind, she could no longer figure out who she was.
Then the tanned man with midnight blue hair waved his hand and covered her in a water bubble, "Sleep and take your time… your role is enough. We will finish it for you… for it this is our job."
Eli suddenly felt a warm power enveloping her as she saw herself being enclosed in the water bubble.
She did not know that the one who had treated her was Zale, the guardian of the waters.
Zale then pushed her outside the barrier. The bubble flew toward the area where Yelena was still tending to the gravely injured Grandpa Andi.
"Eli…" Yelena called in deep worry. But her heart sank because she saw how blank Eli's eyes were.
"No…" Yelena's heart sank and she shuddered as tears formed in her eyes.
She realized that something was wrong with her daughter the moment she looked at her dazed eyes. There was not even an indication that Eli recognized people.
Eli looked at the crying woman in a daze but did not really recognize her no matter how she thought about it.
'But why does my heart hurt so much?' She asked as she touched her chest in great wonder.
Then she looked at Grandpa Andi who was still in a deep coma. Fortunately, Yelena was able to reattach Grandpa Andi's hands in time because Randel was able to quickly recover it from Lord Raven back then.
"What happened to him?" Eli asked with an innocent expression. She did not know why but she felt extremely anxious and distressed seeing the old injured dwarf sleeping deeply.
Yelena's eyes flashed with a realization. She seemed to now realize what happened to Eli at the moment.
Her eyes were filled with tears and she could not control her trembling.
'My daughter… What happened to her?' She asked inwardly. However, she forced a smile with a great effort to appear calm so as to not confuse Eli further.
"He was injured by one of the villains… but fortunately he is fine now…" Yelena answered slowly to ensure that Eli would not see the emotions she had at the moment.
"I see… poor grandpa…" Eli slowly answered as her eyes slowly closed and fell into a deep sleep.
Back in the barrier, Celeste, Sylvain, Amihan, Ignis, and Zale faced the crazed Birsha with a serious expression.
"You! How convenient of you to appear only now, when you had the humans do all the hard work for you?!" Birsha's eyes glowed in red, it was quite a bizarre sight as he was still moving and talking with his ethereal body vertically split in half.
"Well, it's not like we can do much with the kind of rank you have no??" Zale with his carefree and rebellious personality directly answered him. He even shrugged his shoulders and stretched out his hands as if to tell that they really had no choice but to wait until Leon and Eli did their parts.
Celeste, even though she had no fleshly body, rubbed her temples and sighed, 'Zale is really tactless!'
"So what?! The Overseer said that sending a mere child will do, but look! I am still alive and kicking!" Birsha was greatly triggered by Zale's tactless approach and was heavily insulated.
And so he went on and used the Great One's words against Himself.
Zale looked at Ignis, Sylvain, Amihan, and Celeste, "Can I punch this blabbermouth?"
His eyebrows were twitching as he tried to contain his annoyance toward Birsha.
"You can't until we finish the job, Bro…" Sylvain looked helpless as he patted Zale's shoulders to try to calm him down.
While Zale seemed to be the most unruly among the guardians, he was the one who would get angry when The Great One was insulted by mortals and rebels like Birsha.
Ignis also knew Zale's character and so he stepped up and faced Birsha, while Amihan worriedly pulled Zale's hand like a little sister trying to calm his raging big brother.
"Alright… let's finish this… Prasinos had already cried for so long." Celesta also stepped up along with Sylvain and the rest.
"Ganging up on me, I see…" Birsha smiled and mocked the guardians as he prepared to retaliate.
He snapped his fingers and gathered all the curse power stored in the entire demonoid army, immediately wiping out all the enemies.
Pope Ramir, Rachana, and the rest, even all those who are not at war but had been in contact with curse power or item, all disintegrated at the snap of his fingers.
Their fleshly bodies turned to dust and what remained were orbs of purple core hovering towards Birsha's location.
Leon and the rest were shocked to see the enemy disappear in front of them.
In shock, Leon instinctively looked up at Eli's battlefield and recognized the five guardians. But he panicked when he did not see Eli inside the barrier.
"Eli!" He rushed toward the location but soon saw Yelena trying to catch his attention in the vast and bloody battlefield.
There he saw the sleeping Eli beside Grandpa Andi, she looked at peace but the nagging feeling that something became different in her.
Even so, he started to calm down and his expression became firm and steadfast.
Leon raised his sword and shouted, "Men, stay alert, and do not let your guards down!"
"The Great Guardians are fighting with us, although the enemies are no more, we still have one big fight to behold!"
"Come with me and plead to the heavens, so that our side will succeed!" Then he struck his sword to the ground and knelt in prayer.
Grandmaster Reuben, the two princes, Randel and Kayden also followed as they sincerely prayed that the battle would be finally over.
Solemn silence swept the battlefield.
While the purple curse orbs flew endlessly from all over the world toward Birsha, all the men on the battlefield laid down their swords to kneel and pray.
It was something so bizarre and unlikely to happen especially when the final battle is in sight.
Even so, none of those who knelt thought that they were acting strangely.
If what it takes to win is to kneel in surrender, they would kneel sincerely!
If what it takes to save the innocent and the land they would be living on, then what is wrong with asking the Higher Being?!
The five guardians all knew what was happening outside the barrier but did not utter a word.
Instead, they silently looked at the gloating Birsha who was waiting for the orbs to heal and strengthen his body.
Birsha waited patiently as he thought that the guardian's lack of actions was an act of their pride.
However, he felt that something is wrong at the moment.
"What…" He mumbled as he looked around.
He was aware to have absorbed a lot of orbs at the moment, however, why does it seem like nothing on his strength changed?!
Confused, he looked around and saw the vast amounts of purple orbs coming toward him. They entered his ethereal body but then nothing really happened.
"Now you realize what's wrong… The Overseer did not lie, the child is enough to deal with the likes of you." Ignis looked at the troubled Birsha and explained.
"Sigh… The Overseer really thought this through… Look, he was not even aware that his heavenly powers were no more." Sylvain commented.
"In truth, we aren't really here to fight with you… we are here to deal with you." Celeste also chimed in. "You have been defeated by her!"
"Punish the wicked…" Amihan innocently mumbled.
"Yeah, you think that you can get over an easy death? No way with the amount of evil you did!" Zale taunted back. "We are just here to drag you to punish you!"
"You!!" Birsha was so angry that he tried to attack
Then with Ignis's lead, the guardians moved.
Multi Colored light appeared on their bodies and a dark gloomy hole appeared beneath Birsha's position.
Birsha's eyes grew in panic as he used whatever power remained in his sliced body and tried to run, "No!"
But the guardians were faster than him and threw countless chains of light that corresponded to their powers.
"Arrrgh!!! No!!! You can't do this!" Birsha went crazy as he did not expect that he would get defeated just like that!
He did not even know the exact point where he was defeated!
How could this be?!
The vast generations and years he spent building up his army, raising his vessels and growing his powers were done with just one slice of a sword?!
Now these guardians dared to appear before him and 'clean him up'!
But the Guardians did not hear his words and continued to restrain him with thousands of chains until he could no longer move.
The only thing that could show the fight against them is the deathly glare coming from Birsha's eyes.
"Begone!!!" Ignis held the chains in his hand, as one of the guardians of the lake of fire he pulled Bird's body to be thrown deep into the dark bottomless pit.
"You think you win because you defeated me? I am not the only one who could rebel! Just wait and see!" Birsha's words lingered as he was thrown into the bottomless pit to suffer for eternity.
Celeste and the other three then closed the black hole and looked at the people. Celeste stepped forward and addressed all of mankind, whether or not they were on the battlefield, with seven simple words.
"Brave children of Prasinos, you have won!"
