[Devour@SilverPup: Time's up!... So show the names you come up with in 3... 2... 1...]
[Devour@SilverPup: Stray Pets, Chibi Beasts, Paws X Claws, Fur And Feather, Cuddle Cardboard.]
[Devour@BlueHeroine: Guardian Raiders, Night Sky, Blue Horizons, Radiant Light, Moon Halo.]
[Devour@Lucent: Clover Leaf, Rice Cake, Beacon Light, Blender-Kun, Purple-White Cream, Devour Phantom Beast Eilir.]
After showing the team names that each of them has come up with, their chat group was flooded with harsh comments and insults towards each other ideas, especially between BlueHeroine and SilverPup. Even Luel didn't manage to escape the harsh judgment from his teammates.
[Devour@BlueHeroine: What's wrong with your naming sense. PoodlePup! All of them are so cute they make me want to throw up!]
[Devour@SilverPup: And yours are so cliche, BlueB*! It's like they are made by a Chunibyo middle schooler girl!]
[Devour@Lucent: If you two are so against each other name ideas, then it is fine to use mine, right?]
[Devour@SilverPup: Of course, not. All of them are so plain and boring, Lucent!]
[Devour@BlueHeroine: You just wrote whatever came to your mind, right Lucent?... But I'm surprised that you mentioned the Devour Phantom Beast Eilir.]

Among the topics about RAIDS ONLINE that Luel read while browsing on his smartphone trying to find inspiration for a cool name, yet still failed, is the topic of the rumored seventh Devour Beast Class in RAIDS ONLINE.
The Devour Phantom Beast Eilir.
Different from the Six Basic Devour Beasts that have taken the form of a bird, serpent, and other land-based beast, the Devour Phantom Beast is said to have taken the form of an insect, or to be specific, a form of a butterfly.
There are no confirmed players who obtain the Devour Eilir Class during the process of avatar creation.
Even Selene, who's the RAIDS ONLINE only NPC and the Moon Avatar herself, doesn't have any information to give to the players about the rumored seventh Devour Beast Class.
However, every time the players would ask Selene about it, Selene would always give them a melancholy smile. It's like Selene is happy and sad at the same time. Like how someone is remembering something important to her, something she has already lost.
As to where the rumor about the Devour Phantom Beast came from, it all started three years ago at the early stage of RAIDS ONLINE.
A group of RAIDS ONLINE players who are about to be wiped out by a swarm of Ragnarok Beasts has spotted a phantom of a player with butterfly wings looking at them from the top of a ruined building.
The phantom is calling to them, cheering for them not to give up and continue to fight.
The group of players managed to overcome and win against the swarm of Ragnarok Beasts, yet when they looked back to where the phantom player was supposed to be, it was already gone, as if everything they saw and hear is nothing but their hallucination.
"The same encounter continues to happen to other RAIDS ONLINE players. But no videos have been recorded yet where the mysterious phantom player can be seen."
"So that phantom player is a ghost?"
"I wouldn't say a ghost, Luel. But rather, the Devour Phantom Beast Eilir and the phantom player is one of the seven mysteries of RAIDS ONLINE."
"Seven? So what's the other six, Amy?"
"Well, if you're really interested, Luel. The other six are..."
It was already past midnight, but Amy and Luel didn't feel the passing time as they got so immersed in their conversation while sitting beside each other on their couch.
Amy cheerfully talks to Luel about the seven mysteries of RAIDS ONLINE that she has been investigating for the past two years, while Luel just listens to everything that Amy says, enjoying every time while looking at Amy smiling as she tells her stories.
About Selene's Unique Dialogue Scene that Luel happened to encounter once.
About the Unconfirmed Rank S Ragnarok Beast which is said to be the final Ragnarok Beast in RAIDS ONLINE.
About the Nightmare that players can sometimes dream after playing RAIDS ONLINE.
About the Undiscovered Last Sanctuary, the only place on the RAIDS ONLINE map that contains all the remaining life of the Dark Gray World.
About the Lonely Howl of a beast that can be heard sometimes during a full moon within the game.
About the Rumored Player Who Could Never Logout in RAIDS ONLINE.
"Pfft... What's with that last part... Hahaha..."
"I know... Pfft... It sounds so cliche, right?... Hahaha..."
Luel and Amy are clearly having a moment, and they even feel it. That's when Luel decided that it was the right time to ask Amy about the thing that he'd always been wondering about since Amy invited him to join her team.
"Amy, can you at least tell me why you are so determined to defeat and devour all the high-ranking Ragnarok Beasts in RAIDS ONLINE?"
Amy just remains silent after hearing Luel's question.
Luel thought that he wouldn't be able to get an answer from Amy. However...
"Fine... I will tell you, Luel. On one condition..."
"And that condition is?"
"Tomorrow night... If we defeated and devoured the Unique Rank C Ragnarok Beast Garmr and you manage to break through the 50 percent Link Force boundary... By then, I will tell you everything, Luel."
Luel understood that Amy was serious about every word that she said and that the look in her eyes meant something more than just winning their upcoming Raid.
He didn't know how he should respond to Amy's commitment, but Luel knew that he should at least show his will to accomplish the goal of their team. Yet before he can say anything...
[Devour@SilverPup: How dare you two left me hanging on my own! At least tell me all the lewd and naughty things you're doing!]
...Enough with the indecent jokes already!!...
