Noah, and Lera crossed the dimensional portal to the Sea Abyss - the dimension where The Creator had begun the creation of the new system for the third time. The blue sea water shimmered softly, creating a calming yet mysterious scene.
"This place..." Noah looked around. Vianemur in his grasp resonated with the energy of the water around it.
"The Sea Abyss," Lera explained. "The third dimension that The Creator created in the new system. This is where it all began - the vast worlds were originally structures of the Sea Abyss Dimension."
They walked on the solid, crystal-like surface of the water. The light from their bodies created a stunning panorama.
From the depths of the Sea Abyss, a pillar of golden light rose, piercing the surface of the water. The Creator's figure slowly emerged - not in physical form, but as pure, shimmering energy.
"Noah," The Creator's voice echoed in their minds. "You have found Vianemur."
"Yes," Noah gripped his silver sword. "But I am still looking for Venuszirad."
"Venuszirad is not lost," The Creator replied. "It is simply asleep, waiting for its changed owner."
"What must I do to find it again?"
The Creator's light shone brighter. "Vianemur will guide you on this journey - its consciousness is shared with the creature Lehfilma, call it. Visit each dimension I have created. In each place, there is a fragment of Venuszirad's soul that you must find and understand."
"Soul fragment?" Lera asked.
"Yes. Travel and be patient, Venuszirad is not destroyed - it resides somewhere."
Noah looked at Vianemur as it gleamed. "And this sword will show you the way?"
"Vianemur is your spiritual compass," The Creator explained. "But remember, Noah - true power lies not in the sword, but in the understanding you gain on your journey to find it."
"I understand," Noah nodded. "Where should I go first?"
"Start with the Liferhaine Dimension," The Creator replied.
Lehfilma in the form of Vianemur spoke, "We will accompany him on this journey."
"Yes," The Creator agreed. "But remember, every trial is Noah's alone. You can only guide him, not take over his battles."
"I am ready," Noah gripped Vianemur firmly.
"Then go," The Creator gave his blessing. "Find Venuszirad and show me that you will not repeat your mistakes. There will be new rules that you must obey."
The Creator's light began to dim, returning to the depths of the Sea Abyss. But before it disappeared completely, his voice was heard once more:
"And Noah... this time, use your power wisely. Because in this new system, every choice has far greater consequences than before."
With that, Noah, Lera, and Vianemur's sword began their journey to the Liferhaine Dimension, the first step in their quest.
As they passed through the portal to the Liferhaine Dimension, the scenery changed drastically. Gone were the sparkling waters of the Sea Abyss, replaced by vast grasslands with giant trees that towered up into the clouds. Golden leaves glistened in the light of the two suns hanging in the pink sky.
"Liferhaine," Lera stared in awe. "The dimension of eternal life."
"This place..." Noah gripped Vianemur tighter as he felt the strange vibrations from his sword. "Something is familiar."
"Of course," Lehfilma's voice came from Vianemur. "Liferhaine is where The Creator first created the concept of life and death. Here, the line between the two is very thin."
They walked through the meadow, following the direction of Vianemur's increasingly strong vibrations. Silver flowers bloomed around their steps, emitting a sweet, soothing scent.
"Look at that," Lera pointed to a giant tree that was different from the others. Its trunk was a shiny white, with tendrils of golden energy coiling upwards.
Noah stepped closer. Vianemur vibrated even harder in his grasp.
"The Tree of Life," Lehfilma explained. "One of the oldest manifestations of The Creator's power."
As Noah drew closer, something began to emerge from within the tree trunk - the figure of a woman made of pure energy.
"Welcome, Noah," the woman's voice sounded like the rustling of leaves. "I am Elhaine, the guardian of the Tree of Life."
"What am I supposed to do here?" Noah asked.
“The Creator sent you to learn,” Elhaine smiled. “And your first lesson is the value of life. You used Venuszirad to destroy. This time, you must learn how to protect.”
Suddenly, the sky darkened. From a distance, a terrible roar was heard.
“The Devourer Beasts,” Elhaine stared into the distance. “They come to feed on the life energy of Liferhaine. Show me, Noah – will you use Vianemur as you used Venuszirad?”
Noah looked at the sword in his hand, then at the approaching dark monsters. This time, he had to make a different choice.
His first trial in Liferhaine had begun.
The Devourer Beasts were fast approaching – dark creatures shaped like dragons, with black wings and glowing red eyes. The life energy around them was being sucked away, making the silver flowers wither and the grass turn black.
Noah held Vianemur tightly, but did not attack immediately. He remembered the Creator’s words about greater consequences in the new system.
“Lehfilma,” Noah whispered to his sword. “What do you know about these Devourers?”
“They are creatures of balance,” Lehfilma’s voice answered. “Created to control life energy so that it doesn’t become excessive. But now they have lost control.”
Noah watched the Devourers’ movements carefully. Amidst the darkness they radiated, he saw something—small points of light that glowed on their chests.
“Life essence,” Elhaine explained, as if reading Noah’s mind. “Even creatures of destruction have the light of life within them.”
Noah nodded in understanding. He raised Vianemur, but not to strike. The sword began to glow with a warm, silvery energy.
“What are you doing?” Lera asked.
“Trying a different way,” Noah replied. He pointed Vianemur at the Tree of Life, letting the sword’s energy flow into the golden tendrils.
Instantly, the tendrils glowed brighter. Pure life energy radiated in all directions, forming a protective dome around the area.
The Devourers slammed into the dome, but could not penetrate it. More than that, the light from the dome began to affect them. The points of light on their chests glowed brighter.
"They do not need to be destroyed," Noah said softly. "What they need is balance."
Slowly, the Devourers began to change. The darkness that had enveloped them faded, replaced by silvery scales. Their red eyes softened to gold.
"You understand the true essence of power," Elhaine smiled. "Not to destroy, but to transform. To heal."
From the bodies of the transformed Devourers, shards of golden energy began to gather. They floated toward Noah, coalescing into a small, glowing crystal.
"That shard, keep it; there must be something behind it," Elhaine explained. "The Aspect of Healing. Keep it and understand its meaning." Noah took the crystal.
"Where to next?" Lera asked.
"The world of Rabigerion," Lehfilma's voice answered from Vianemur. "There, hurry."
"Good luck to you Noah."
Noah nodded, grasping the first crystal carefully. One step had been taken, but the journey was long. And this time, he would take it with a new understanding of the true meaning of power.
