Part 1
Lilith heard some strange sound projecting throughout the forest and started to become concerned.
"What was that!??" she asked while trying to gaze at the top of the mountain. She was using her combined form alongside Marcus which made her hair look snow-white.
"Not sure... Probably the young miss trying to reach for the core..." Detra replied.
The two were stuck back at the summoning ring after being teleported by accident once they tried to rush to the core after realizing Ellie was missing and hearing her beastly howl from the top of the mountain.
"You need to go after her!! With your fused form, you should be able to get there fast enough to help her!" Detra suggested.
"I can't just leave you here alone!!" Lilith debated.
"I'm a master class ice mage, I can handle myself! Just go!"
"But-"
Before they could continue their conversation, they spotted monsters being summoned all around them by the power of the forest.
