The Sixth One

Oblivious to what was happening in the outside world, Lith continued to think of reasons for the core to appear here.

"Last time I don't know what happened, but as soon as I said immortal core, I was sucked out of here and began my ascension to Rank 9 I think. This time, even after saying those same words, nothing's happening. Does that mean that unless I figure out what the right thing to exit from here is, I won't be able to ascend to Half Saint Rank?" 

"Also, will coming into contact with that core present in front be good? Or will it be bad? It's actually pretty interesting knowing there's an immortal core with all elemental affinities present here. Because as far as I know, there's just me, mom, and Lucy with an all elemental affinity." 

"However, I still don't understand, what is this thing doing here and why am I here in front of it?"
