In the midst of the battle, niebel, Griffin, and the others gather to tell everyone that elie has been captured. They don't even have time to think about it, since they've got three more demons waiting to ambush elie. They're not even sure where the ship has gone down, so they can't figure out what's wrong with it. . The only thing niebel can think of to do is to fall asleep and fall into a state of despair, which he'll never be able to recover from. He tells everyone to lead him to where his friends are gathered, and then he tells the rave master to come down and look at the huge sword. He doesn't want to look at it for a second, but he's counting on the others to help him out. The battle is over, and they're ready to die.
