The True Past (a)

The odd man stared at Elliot, and after determining his power level, he said, "I am the Guardian of the twilight forest, Zerrik Cezzett, and this here is one of my many pets. As you have already met him, I believe there is no need for me to introduce him to you again, right? With the introduction out of the way, let me come straight to the point. I can't let you kill him, as he, along with three other Monster Lords, reinforce the barrier I set to seal the Black Calamity away. If you were to kill him, the barrier would weaken, and the black calamity will take that chance to break free. Once that happens, the entire world will face the threat of destruction, and you'll be the one responsible for it. Do you still want to proceed? Do you still want to kill it?"

Elliot's bright eye full of innocence landed on Zerrick, and the former vigorously shook his head, "I didn't know the consequences of my actions before, but now I know, and I won't think of killing it again."
