"So what do you need me for?"
Patry looks at him before saying

"The Apostles of Sephirah"

Present

Upon Patry saying this Mikes interest skyrockets as he immediately asks

"What are the Apostles of Sephirah?" He asks with massive interest Very keen on knowing what it or they are Patry smiles at this knowing he grabbed Mikes interest immensely he then says

"The Apostles of Sephirah are ten elves including Myself who were blessed with the ability to open the Shadow Palace" he answers clearly noticing Mikes intrigue going up more and more he talks about this Mike then Asks

"Shadow Palace?! Wait like the Tree of life?!" He questions intently now no longer caring what he originally came here for Patry laughs lightly before saying

"Haha yes each Apostle fits a spot on the tree when done together we open the Palace then we need to get one more Magic stone to complete the process however there's a problem..." he says now looking conflicted Mike frowns slightly saying

"What Kind of problem?" Mike asks now wondering what could be stopping Patrys plan Patry immediately responds saying

"Well there's three actually one is we do not possess the stone yet but we will soon the second...we Actually need another person for the Tree the rules were we needed either someone we elf leaders trust entirely to help open or we need the sufficient Mana to do it without them this was added to insure we didn't blindly enter whenever we wanted and the third is that there's a failsafe of sorts" he explains Mike absorbs this information quickly Making gears moving in his head this goes on for a minute before he stops saying

"For the second problem I'll give the Necessary Mana needed so that's no problem now whats this failsafe your on about?" He questions wanting to know more now Patry nods his heads in thanks before saying

"Thats the part we entirely don't know however it seems we've encountered it before he starts"

"How so?" Mike asks

"We've been to its temple but I'm not sure if it's of the same builders" Patrys states Mikes eyes widen under his mask before he says

"The Monks? They never built anything like that I would know I explored the place I found nothing to fight Until Vergil then you later" Mike says confusing Patry

"Whos Vergil?" The elf asks interested in who Mike fought Mike instantly replys

"Vergil is a Devil essentially the Monks promotion ceremony was to tame devil's to assist them which makes sense considering it anyway me and Ash fought him and won now he is under a contract with us both" Mike says shocking Patry he fought a devil and won? Patry then says

"I'm impressed that you won but what do you mean it makes sense?" He questions curiously wondering what he meant Mike motions towards his blade on his belt saying

"The Monks only used the blade I have but the blade itself requires knowledge to use it and using ones own Mana to bond with the crystal within to form the blade no it doesn't drain your mana but these Monks never even bothered with their own Grimoires why? But then it clicks they had Access to devil's so they must of made some sort of sacrifice no?" He then goes on to say

"to bring the Devils into our world they must've sacrificed something equal to the Devil they wished to summon but then there's the click Vergil is a Mid ranked almost higher Devil meaning they went for the lower ranks the more power hungry ones so here's my Hypothesis" he says gaining Patrys attention as he continues

"The Monks sacrificed their Grimoires their individual Magics to summon them into this world hence why they use these 'gestures to sword again' they needed a way to fight so they created a weapon to insure they could now for why your wondering why I'm saying this If the texts I read are accurate one of the benefits of Devil possession is practical long life ....what I'm saying is this 'Failsafe' you speak of is a survivor of them the last Monk per say"

he says Patry looks at him in slight awe as to how quickly he thought of that making him much more happier he asked to meet if he and his fellow elves entered they wouldn't know what the failsafe was but Mike? He's spent hours researching almost everything on the Monks so he essentially knows all about them at this point stunned at this he then says

"We shall continue this with the others we need to get there" Patry says Mike Nods and asks

"Where to then? Back to your base?" He questions Patry chuckles before saying

"Yes but the Palace is itself located at the Royal Palace" he informs him Mike humms before saying

"Then lets go" and Teleports them both

The Royal Capital - The Midnight Suns base

They Teleport to the Base scaring Raia with they're arrival he calms down and says

"Jesus Patry I haven't seen you in ages and the first thing you do is scare me!" He says Mike chuckles gaining his Attention saying

"My Apologies Good Sir I didn't think someone would be near us when we Teleported" Mike Apologies suprising Raia a little as he now notices the mans presence he then takes his hand out saying

"So your the Human Patry was talking about Nice to meet ya My names Raia" he says hand out to shake hands Mike returns the gesture immediately saying

"Its a pleasure Sir Raia My names Mike"  Mike greets Raia quickly does the same to Patry as they all go to meet The other elves Mike Decides to remove his Mask and hat making them disappear into thin air letting Raia now get a good luck at his face He notices a small symbol on his face and asks

"Hey what's that mark on your face?" He questions wanting to know if it's something that will do something to them Mike responds saying

"Its just where I'm storing my Mana for this Palace" he says Making Raias eyes widen as he now knows why Mike was brought with them they now reach the rest of the elves who immediately greet Patry as they do so Mike walks over to the symbols of the tree on the floor Humming in interest the Elves look at Mike before one asks

"Patry who's this?" The elf asks wondering who Mike is Patry introduces him saying

"This is Mike he's gonna help us Open the Palace" he says the elves all immediately look towards him as he asks

"Shall we get started then?"
