Even though we've already reached the entrance of the Lake's ruins, there were no new Quests appearing yet, it was rather unnerving, but at the same time, I was preparing myself for almost anything at this point.
Thanks to Belle and the rest of my Familiars, we got here in a few seconds, bringing with us the four researchers, who hurriedly ran past the Sunlit Lake, a beautiful lake made of golden liquid, resembling liquid gold.
"Aah, this liquid, it is Sunlight Spring Water!" Goldie said, drinking some of it. "Hmm! Ah, no, wait, it tastes just like water. Right, this is an illusion, huh?"
"Raaarr!" Silver quickly slammed his fish-shaped head and told him to come along. "Roar!"
"Okay, okay..." Goldie sighed.
As we walked through the lake while ignoring her, as there was little point in trying to extract materials out of a place that wasn't truly what it was, we moved in front of the ruins. Mercedes and the researchers were in silence, looking at the old stone gates.
"I can already sense a lot of dark energies here..." Said Cecilia, sighing. "Dammit, this is really bad. We're going in, aren't we?"
"Didn't she said it had Divine Beasts inside? Won't we get mauled once we get inside?" Hermes asked.
"That's why we're here though!" I said with a smile. "Don't worry, we got your backs, let's go. We're got a whole army over here after all."
"R-Right..." Mercedes nodded. "I suppose we must go then, coming here quickly was my idea. I hope we can find some sort of artifact that could bring us to the demon king continent, or at least give us some other clue about their true plan. Even with the relic on, that woman only told us in the most cryptic ways imaginable."
"She was insane after all; she probably couldn't say the truth properly even with the artifact..." Said Elbedo. "Let's go, there's little else to talk about, we have to hurry! You guys please make sure to watch our backs!"
"Sure!" Nodded Lily. "I'll watch everyone's backs!"
"I would prefer to stay at mother- I mean, at Mercedes' side." Said Brisingra. "Sorry if that is annoying."
"No... It's fine." Elbedo smiled. "Thank you, your magic's really strong, Brisingra. Keep her protected, she happens to be our frailest fighter, haha."
Elbedo stayed in front while Hermes and Cecilia by their left and right side. The gates were forcefully opened after the Ancient Elves used their magic to easily "hack" through the runic system keeping it close.
