"The lock is weakened. I always have a bad feeling about it, but I keep ignoring it. But I think my assumption is true that one of our good side element guardians is betraying us. He or she might steal a bit of everyone's energy before you guys completely lock the Darkness Lord. And as the lock is weakened, he will call out his element guardian too."
"What do you mean by his element guardians? Do you say... a person like us, with the same energy as us, is going to be our enemy? They were our enemy too?" asked Minseong.
Myungwoo has a feeling that Minseong might be accepting the truth faster than him or Bonhwa. It might sound like a story in a game he played or something like that.
"You're just like what I remember about you, Minseong, you're smart. And that's right, he also has his element guardians, which we can say evil side element guardians. It's already been happening for the last four years in your world, or it means for the last eight years in this world, when the lock is getting weakened."
"For how long did we lock the Darkness Lord already?" asked Bonhwa.
"Six hundred years in this world, or three hundred years in your world. So you have been reincarnated for quite many times too in your world. So in the last eight years, I've been fighting with little evil things, but they are appearing more and sometimes in large groups, like the imps you were fighting with."
"And I'm sorry to ask you this... but are you always pale like this... princess?" asked Myungwoo, who trusts that she doesn't look healthy since the first time he saw her.
"And you always have sharp eyes, Myungwoo. No, actually... I've been losing my power trying to control the lock... and since I feel weakened, I have no choice but to call you guys once again. I'm very sorry about this."
"Okay let's say, you're awakened us for the sake of this world. Then does it have anything to do with the world we are living in? I remember you talked about Ok halmeoni and you asked me to cut the shining string."
"That's true. Those evil side Element Guardians found the way to weaken the lock and support their Lord with the power that they found in humans. The power of hatred and weakness of humans. Humans who store a lot of hatred inside their heart, or are currently being weak because of sickness are their target."
"So did you say they were about to... to... kill Ok halmeoni?" asked Minseong while widened his eyes.
