"Huh? Everything is connected with ? What do you an by that?", asked Greg not understanding why Eliana said that.
Eliana looked at Zane, and after seeing his nod, she looked at Greg and started to explain.
"We don't understand it fully either, but Kuragari told us that the only way to open that place should be through six elents."
"Six elents? You an each keyhole needs a specific elent to open?", asked Greg calmly, but deep inside he now realized sothing.
That key he obtained in the temple should be one of the keys to that place. But if that is true, there was another problem.
When Russ and Wayne tried to collect the key which was made out of the fire, they couldn't, but for so reason, he could.
That ti he didn't understand how or why, but after reading that scroll he understood sothing which he still couldn't believe until this mont.
"The blessing... Should that be... Alice?", asked Greg but suddenly he rembered back when Alice said to him that she was called the Creator. However, there were a few problems with that proclamation.
Firstly, if Alice really was the Creator, then it was almost 100% that she couldn't be the blessing. However, it was stated in the scroll and on the walls, that the Creator was sealed in that place, so this also showed that Alice couldn't be the Creator.
Secondly, she could only control the six elents and things like creating anything through pure imagination didn't happen with him at all. Or at least she didn't tell him that she had such power.
"I don't have extraordinary powers like that.", said suddenly Alice, knowing what Greg just wanted to ask from her.
"I thought so.", said Greg calmly and continued to think.
"Then the only possibility that I can currently think of that she is truly the blessing, but... Can't you really not rember of anything about this Creator?", asked Greg from Alice in his head.
"No, not even a single thing. Even if I try hard to think, my head suddenly starts to hurt like crazy. I'm sorry."
"No, it's nothing. If you can't, then you can't. We can't do anything with that.", said Greg to Alice and looked at Eliana.
"Did Kuragari tried to use his powers on one of the keyholes? I an, he has the elent of darkness so..."
Hearing Greg's question Eliana shook her head and said, "He did, but the result was unexpected. He said the mont he tried to channel his elent into the right gap, his power was rejected and reversed instantly, making him almost die there and then. It seems only the perfect keys has the ability to open that door. There are no shortcuts."
"I see... So the reason you think everything is connected with is that..."
"Because you are able to use all the six elents. Six keyholes and the exact sa elents that you can control. Furthermore let's not talk about the fact that you cultivate in a totally different path than any other person on this planet and also your strange Guardian."
"Huh? What should that an?", asked Greg while he started to sweat a bit, fearing that Eliana figured out his secret.
"What I an?", asked Eliana with a playful smile and continued, "Is there anyone else on earth who has a black Soul Stone, which Guardian has the power to control the six elents? Is there anyone who mysteriously can temper their body and beco as strong as others in the body system? Is there anyone else who has the ability to form six Core Territories? No matter how hard I try to think about it, there is none."
"But this doesn't explain anything. It can be a simple coincidence no?", asked Greg with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"Maybe you are right, but then what about the incident back in Mythbreak? When you went berserk, obtained that insane regeneration power, and almost killed your friends. If I'm right it should be also in relation with your Soul Stone and Guardian.", said Eliana calmly.
Zane on the side nodded and said, "She is right. And also let us not forget that creature. What was its na again? Orzon or Ozron? Well, nevermind. The point here is that it also ca looking for your Guardian. This also makes us believe that you have more connection with this incident and that place than you think. I could bet also that you are the blessing that verdict was talking about."
"No, I would rather say his Guardian is.", said Eliana calmly and proceeded, "I an I wouldn't be so surprised if your Guardian is the blessing that Kuragari and those words were talking about. Your Guardian, your way of cultivation, your powers, the happenings in Mythbreak, and now this place, which the legend wrote about. No matter how I look at them, but I feel that they between you and that place there is a great connection, but we don't know in what way."
As Greg heard this thought, "Maybe you don't but I do. I don't know how, but Alice is the blessing and her powers let obtain the keys. Just like I obtained the first one in the temple."
Naturally, Greg didn't want to tell this to Eliana or Zane, because who can guess what the consequences could possibly be.
Maybe there would be no problem at all and with their help, he could find all the keys, but there is also the likelihood that he draw unwanted attention and enemies.
Also, maybe he talked with Eliana in the past a few tis, he can't be sure if she had any hidden motives or not. Spilling the beans that he has already obtained a key shouldn't be the greatest choice.
"And also there is the threat that still lingers around my head. If I start to work with them, sooner or later creatures with power similar to that devil would co and kill us."
Greg rembered back just how powerless he was against Ozron. And not only him, but Kuragari, Eliana, and Zane too. None of them had the power to fight back. Of course, this wasn't a surprise, because just as Albert said in the temple, other creatures are much powerful than humans of the sa rank.
Ozron was possibly on the God rank or probably above it, so Eliana and the others had no way in hell to fight against it.
Luckily Russ and Wayne appeared and could annihilate it by that strange door which was called the Passage to the Unknown, because if not, Greg didn't dare to think what could have possibly happened with him.
"Russ said that until only low and middle-ranked creatures co, we are safe. To think that God ranked creatures are considered low ranked... I still have a long way to go.", thought Greg, and as he looked at Eliana he asked, "So what do you want to do now? Will you take away with you?"
Zane on the side stepped closer to Greg and said, "Right at the mont no. We still don't know if your Guardian really is the blessing or not also we don't know where the keys to open that place are. So logically saying, it should be useless to us to take you away."
"Then why did yo-."
"Why did we co and tell you all of this now?", asked Eliana cutting into Greg's question.
"Yes.", nodded Greg a bit hesitantly.
However, Eliana didn't answer Greg but simply took out a golden coin from her pocket and raised it before her eyes.
"We ca to find you to give you this.", said Eliana and handed the coin over to Greg.
Taking the average looking coin, Greg looked quite confused and asked, "This? For what?"
"That coin in your hand has my power in it. Throwing or flipping it into the air will make able to tell where you are. Use that coin only if you are in danger or found a key."
Hearing this Greg looked at Eliana and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I won't use it even if I find one?"
Eliana hearing Greg's question smiled and said, "Not at all."
"Why?", asked Greg a bit confusedly, fearing that maybe the coin had other abilities he didn't know about.
Knowing what Greg was thinking, Eliana waved her hand and said, "That object can't do anything besides telling your position, so you don't need to worry."
"So why are you so sure that I will use this coin?", asked Greg curiously.
"Because even if you obtain all the keys, you won't be able to find the place without our help.", said Eliana and after a small pause, she continued, "Or even if you do find it, you will just simply die. Just as Kuragari inford us, we aren't the only ones who knows about that place"
With a nod, Zane looked at Greg and said, "So sooner or later, you need to use that coin no matter what."
"Yes.", said Eliana with a nod and continued, "Don't think about this as a threat, but as a help. Also, you likely have the blessing, so we need your help too."
"I see...", said Greg and after considering a few things suddenly he thought about sothing and looked at Eliana.
"Before saying anything, can I ask a question?"
"Sure.", said Eliana calmly.
After thinking for a while, Greg looked at both of the experts before him and asked.
"How will I benefit from all of this?"
