Suddenly a serious look came over Elsword's face as he was ready to fight.

"Well then... bring it!" He said as he charged at Jack. Ready for a piercing attack with his sword.


"Elsword may be skilled with a sword, but he can be predictable at times. Yet he has a tendency to pull a fast one and completely catch his opponents off guard. Even then he won't last long against someone like Jack..." Raven replied as he begins watching intently.

Hank held Doomguy up to his face. He couldn't see through the large glowing red goggles, but one could feel the glare that he was giving.

"I don"t trust you. At all. So if you want to come along, I want my eyes on you at all times. You got that, Mr. Christmas Tree?" Hank replied in a serious voice.

John was a little hesitant, but if she was fully prepared and truly wanted to help, then there was very little reason to keep her here. John noticed that Annie tried to use Chen's clothes as a temporary replacement for her own, but they were too small for her It may have been too small, but it was only temporary, at least until she found something more suitable than her hole filled dress.

"Okay. If you want to help, follow me. This portal will lead us to a library. Once there we'll escort a magician named Patchouli through her library.", John calmly said to Annie as he opened up a Corridor of Darkness.

Without warning, Jack raised his foot so that it would meet with Elsword's chest, but not before catching Elsword's sword between both his hands. As soon as the sword was tightly secured in his grip and his foot was perched on Elsword's chest, Jack began to pry the sword out of Elsword's grip by pushing his foot forward while pulling the sword away from Elsword, disarming him.

Suddenly Elsword's attack was stopped by Jack who had planted his foot right into Elsword's chest. "AH!" He screamed as he tried to stop Jack from taking his sword away.

Raven watched on as he shook his head. "He should have known better than to start with an attack like that... A stab like the one he was trying to attempt would leave anyone open from above, below, behind, and from the person's sides. Elsword already lost this... he should have relied on his magical prowess, as weak as it may be it would be much better than a simple attack like that." Raven said to Lily and Daniel as he analyzes Elsword's strategy. "That is... unless Elsword purposefully let himself get caught..." He said as he takes focus on Elsword.

If one were to look closely what looked to be a fiery red aura seems to slowly be engulfing Elsword.

Jason wandered around a little more. There, he found the entrance to Voile.

"Wow. Wonder what could be down here."

Right before Elsword's grip was completely compromised, something unexpected happened, The boy Jack was fighting began to glow with a red, fiery aura. Jack didn't know what this attack was capable of, so instead of gambling his safety, Jack quickly removed his foot from Elsword's chest and pushed the sword deeper into Elsword's grip, allowing Elsword to hold on to the sword. It may have seemed like Jack was relenting against Elsword's Aura, but he had a trick up his sleeve. In one quick motion, Jack flicked his arms to the side and launched the sword, and by extension, Elsword a couple feet away from himself, just in case Elsword's aura was dangerous. As soon as Elsword left the ground, Jack pulled out his katanas and readied for Elsword's next attack.

"And out come the swords.", Daniel remarked to Raven and Lily.

"The aura must have made Jack raise his guard.", Lily said to Raven.

"Oh yea.", Isaac said to Lujuria.

"Do you think I should check it out? It could be something important. You can come along if you want.", Isaac said to Lujuria as he kept flying.

"You're late." Patchouli denounced John's arrival with a flick of her wrist. A small orb scanned John and Annie.

"This place..." Annie stood around in awe. She spun around in her too-small black dress to take in all the knowledge this library could give. "This is awesome."

As Elsword was launched back a few feet Elsword quickly tightened his grip once more as a red glow was seen in Elsword's eyes as the aura around him began to grow intense. As the aura fully engulfed Elsword he let out a loud roar that sent out a loud, fierce howl. "Time to show you the Way of the Sword! Triple Geyser!" Elsword yelled as he quickly smashed his sword into the ground in front of him. Suddenly three large geysers of magical fire erupt from the ground beneath Jack.

Raven turned to Lily and smirked. "I bet it did. After all Elsword has a unique technique passed down throughout his family called the Way of the Sword. As he dishes out the damage, or is on the receiving end of an attack one of two aura's will manifest itself. What we see right now is the Aura of Destruction. With the Aura of Destruction active Elsword's strength, and ferocity in battle increases greatly. Elsword let himself open for that attack so he can build up that Aura and unleash a powerful Triple Geyser. The first time I went up against Elsword I nearly lost because of that damn aura. Still... Jack's going to win... but Elsword is going to put up one hell of a fight against Jack before he loses."

"Sorry. I was trying to find people to bring along.", John said to Patchouli.

John took a moment to look at his surroundings and noticed that Renamon and Nera were there as well. John should have known as much when he planned on looking for them. They were never far behind, and could almost always be found nearby. After a moment, John turned his attention to the orb and spoke to Patchouli.

"What's the orb for?", John calmly asked Patchouli.

Jack heard and saw the pillars of flame erupt from the ground, and thanks to his Spartan reflexes, he was able to jump in the air, force his body to face the blades below, and perform a horizontal spin with both of his Katana's at the ready. Jack landed outside of the pillars and as soon as his feet made contact with the ground, he sprinted at Elsword at 50 mph, ready to finally put forth effort in this sparring match. At first, it seemed like Jack was going for a killing blow, but he had other things in mind.

Lily and Daniel knew that Jack was a ruthless, merciless fighter, but they also knew that he would never kill a child, not if he had a choice in the matter.

"I think Elsword just piqued Jack's interest.", Lily said to Raven.

"Banished Library is a library built by my predecessor, Erios Knowledge." Patchouli answered as the orb finished scanning the two and hovered towards Renamon and Nera. "Therefore, I'm scanning your ethereal presence to see if there's a chance that you might release it to the public. Looks like both of you are clear."

"I trust you, John, but that doesn't mean I can be reckless. What we're about to do is... dangerous, not only to us, but to the entire universe."

"Who... is she?" Annie shuddered as she observed Patchouli. "Her magic power... is tremendous..."

As Jason finished going down, he witnessed the biggest library he'd ever see... And people!

"What makes you think that?" Raven asked with a smile as he turned back to watch the fight.

As Jack evaded the attack with ease Elsword grinned as he almost immediately prepared for another attack. "Mega Slash!" He yelled as he prepared a heavily charged slash with his sword.

"It's understandable.", John calmly said to Patchouli.

"Who... is she? Her magic power... is tremendous...", Annie said to John.

John turned his head over to the girl and spoke.

"She is Patchouli Knowledge, a magician that specializes in elemental magic. The reason she's so powerful is because she is a natural magician, coupled with how many years she's been studying and perfecting her magic.", John explained to Annie.

Patchouli said that she was scanning their ethereal presence in case they release something to the public, but the question was, what was going to be released to the public.

"Release what to the public? Our ethereal presence?", John asked Patchouli in a curious tone.

"Because he's starting to get fancy with his moves.", Lily said to Raven.

Jack could see that Elsword was preparing for an attack and immediately knew what to do. Jack lowered his body as Elsword prepared his Mega Slash. It seemed like Jack was going to ram into Elsword, but Jack had another idea in mind. Jack kept sprinting towards Elsword, ready for the slash to be performed.

"Not our presence," Patchouli said. "But what is inside. My predecessor's work could easily grant more wealth than one could even imagine of having, and that makes it dangerous. Since material wealth is not important in Gensokyo, we will not have any harm done to us, unless one of us betrays each other. But if an outside-world being, Character or not, gets even the glimpse of the Banished Library... that could easily create an invasion that would be more devastating than the Devourer incident."

"In fact... I believe there is a rat hiding somewhere."

As soon as Patchouli addressed the intruder in the library, John looked at his radar and noticed that there was an extra dot on his radar, one that was separated from all the others.

"I'll take care of it.", John calmly said to Patchouli.

As soon as he was done speaking, John turned around and briskly walked towards the dot on his radar. It might have been Marisa, so John wasn't too serious about the possible threat. If anything, he would simply convince her to leave without conflict. Little did he know that it wasn't Marisa.
