32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 195 Lights, Action, Drama Part 2

As they inspect the puzzle, Ash finds that there are four mirrors in the corner and a moveable mirror that faces southwest. In the middle of the puzzle, there is a crystal mirror that faces four directions, and four crystals.

Ash: What does that mean?

Lillie: Maybe those four Crystals in the corner need to be activated? I mean, the Crystal Key doesn't seem to work on them.

Serena: Should we talk to Luna about this?

Then they all head upstairs to find Luna.

Luna: If I were to relent in the face of trifling opposition such as this, I would not be the person I am today. Let us turn out the lights, and put this rest.

After the lights are off, Ash touches the crystal, and then two balls of light shoot north and east respectively.

Serena: What are those lights doing?

Ash: I see...maybe we can use the mirrors to move the lights to the crystals, then we can activate them!

Lillie: Sounds like a plan.

Then they also find Elias and asks him to return the light.

Elias: No weakness can abide by the light. I shall remind it of that.

After the lights are on, Ash, Serena, and Lillie move the moveable mirror and has Luna make the field dark, and then Ash activates the light and it lands on the Blue Crystal, making it activate. After that's done, they can walk through the Ice Bridge and get to the white sphere, making another Mirror appear.

Serra: That second mirror panel appeared when you activated that orb of light. Looks like there's gonna be more to this... With that second mirror, the lower-left crystal should now be usable ...But since each time you fire the lights, they seem to reset. So, you might need to find a way to activate more than one crystal at a time. That bottom right crystal is also reachable. It might behoove us to see what effect that has.

Then they have the Mirror that's facing Northwest, they decide to activate the bottom right one, which is the Purple Crystal, Ash, Serena, and Lillie also notice that in the darkness, there will be some sort of outline of the mirror after they push the mirror away, and after activating the purple crystal, the mirrors move back to their original spots. So they use the pattern to activate the Green Crystal and break the bushes on the way.

After that's done, they decide to try to activate blue and green at the same time, and with the two mirrors and the Purple Crystal, they manage to activate both of them, thus reaching the next white sphere and getting another mirror that faces northwest.

Serra: Another one on the table, huh? Makes it easier, I suppose. I noticed that door above lights up whenever you activate each crystal. I suspect by the end we'll have to light up all four at once. Maybe those strange lights left behind by the mirrors are the key...

Ash: Yeah...

Then they decide to activate both Red and Green at the same time, and with the help of the third mirror, they manage to activate all two of them and get to the third white sphere. But after they activate it, they find that the fourth mirror, which faces the southeast, is broken.

Serra: The... last mirror is broken. Of course it is. It would've been too easy otherwise, right? But there's no way we're going to be able to activate four crystals with only three mirrors. What even was the point of all of this? Every time we try, it's just a let down in the end. We shouldn't have wasted our time. Might as well go home. Stupid thing... Broken mirrors don't do anything for anyone. Why bother?
