STORY & ILLUSTRATIONS No.09
The Eldlich Invasion
“Eldlixir”: a magical stone of desire that was created through secret arts. Its curse can turn the all forms of matter into gold and the living into the living dead, and it became the legend of “The Mythical Golden Land of Eldland”, from which no one has returned.

Eldlich the Golden Lord

The first and eternal king of the golden land, he overcame the curse of the Eldlixir (which radiates an endless number of desires and grudges) with his own sheer desire and greed.
The Golden Weapons Created By The “Golden Land”
Pot of Extravagance

In order to invade the outside world, “Eldlich” creates golden soldiers from a pot of transmutation that uses desires and greed as the prima materia.
Fallen Angel of the Golden Land

The ultimate weapon created by Eldlich. Shaped like a fallen angel, it descends upon the battlefield at the wishes and whims of the Golden Lord, razing the earth and laying waste to cities.

Fallen Angel of the Golden Land

~The Golden Lord With Insatiable Desires~
The more lands he conquered, the more enemies he slaughtered, the more his greed and desire grew ever deeper rather than subsided.
Everything that exists now in the present,
Everything that once existed,
Everything that has yet to exist,
He will surely make his own.
The Eldlixir glows crimson with his endless selfish desires and bottomless greed, as Eldlich the Golden Lord once again begins his invasion…..
Eldlixir of the Glorious Golden Land

Top: “Does not have a head. In a very Eldlich-like way, he doesn’t seem to allow it to have thoughts of its own”
Bottom: “[Its appearance] should blatantly feature Eldlich’s flashy preferences + Much like how it’s said that god created man in his image, I want to make it look as if Eldlich created it in his image”
