A chilling voice cut through the smoky air.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAWnL42hj208
"I found Princess Lilith!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANA0GVR3wmbrD
Eleo and Lilith whipped their heads toward the source. A tall, grotesque demon with sharp horns and glowing red eyes grinned at them from the ruined street.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ne7O5ma5c
Lilith’s face paled. "Oh no…"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAC3dNN48wGT
Then—more demons appeared. Dozens. Crawling out from behind destroyed buildings, rising from the debris, perching on rooftops.
86Please respect copyright.PENANABtdREX7oTR
"There she is!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAsELyzOaKjf
"Kill her!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAAm4sBurIZM
The mob charged forward.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAR3KQTEf1Dt
Lilith instinctively took a step back, her breath catching in her throat. She was ready to bolt—until a firm hand grabbed hers.
86Please respect copyright.PENANACZbvrxeYSJ
Eleo grinned confidently. "Don’t worry, Lilith! I got this!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAVGGd869mjm
Lilith snapped out of her panic. "You?! Against all of them?!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAP8Tdzsoyyv
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Pfft, easy."
86Please respect copyright.PENANA2akWcqHS9a
THE BATTLE BEGINS!
86Please respect copyright.PENANAAOlQkjHTrw
"INK BARRAGE!!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANATqpB4lQXwe
Eleo lunged forward, throwing rapid-fire punches at the nearest demons. His fists turned into ink, stretching and morphing like liquid steel as they pummeled the enemies.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAv7pIofGU0d
BAM! BAM! BAM!
86Please respect copyright.PENANAzeK8k1SDBZ
A demon flew backward, crashing into a building. Another spun through the air before slamming into the ground.
86Please respect copyright.PENANABREkHjEcq8
One demon leapt at Eleo from behind—
86Please respect copyright.PENANA4n1ZT32Bhs
Eleo teleported. Vanishing in a blink.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAppTkErllao
The demon looked around, confused. "Wha—"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAOhL9o2KPV6
Eleo reappeared in the air above him.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAuThGUuTdmV
CLAP!
86Please respect copyright.PENANAUK9V3uXLr8
Eleo smashed his palms together, transforming both hands into a massive cannon.
86Please respect copyright.PENANALMQIDSqCgT
"INK CANNON!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAx6fuZ6cgdf
A huge ink projectile shot out, blasting the demon off his feet and sending him skidding across the ground like a skipping stone.
86Please respect copyright.PENANABxWwiUzHo4
Eleo landed with a goofy grin. "Hah! Too easy!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANA1VnItC78ud
Lilith watched in stunned silence. "He’s… actually winning?"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAFpirF7ikyr
The demons, now angrier, swarmed him.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAVKAbKwIwXX
Eleo smirked. "Oh, you want more?"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAhh8HSH2330
His hands shifted, ink morphing into a pair of massive hammers.
86Please respect copyright.PENANASaJMSxGHd6
"INK HAMMER SLAM!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAX4MugwnMul
Eleo leapt up and swung both hammers down, creating a shockwave that shook the entire town.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAMd7dK5WKJ0
BOOOOM!
86Please respect copyright.PENANAGpKzk6pQu2
The ground cracked beneath him, sending demons flying like ragdolls.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA1H2bd7IoBG
Lilith blinked. "This idiot… is actually strong?!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAUUTPYMQ7dY
A straggler tried to run—
86Please respect copyright.PENANAuvmf6PZJDm
SNAP!
86Please respect copyright.PENANAwSZHzX07B0
Eleo lashed out with an ink rope, wrapping it around the demon’s ankle and yanking him back.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAeQYbDi4AdC
WHAM! The demon faceplanted into the ground.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAczRppIyHgR
Eleo grinned, holding the last struggling demon up by the collar. "Okay, jerk—why’d you attack Burger Town?"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAAP0xAUXuOO
The demon groaned, eyes spinning. "Ugh… assassination mission…"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAMe3NmXdrxl
Lilith tensed. "They were trying to kill me?"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAyVcmBwirU0
The demon chuckled weakly. "Lucky guess… but when you didn’t show up, we decided to wreck the place instead."
86Please respect copyright.PENANATvABOILe94
Lilith scowled. "Because I was kidnapped by that damn DuDu bastard."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAie8rgAErgR
The demon smirked. "Also… your father’s furious that you ran away."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAvS89M1a5nL
Lilith crossed her arms. "Of course, he is."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAc793w4rpSU
Eleo scratched his head. "Wait, wait, wait—I'm confused."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAtLKwSTXQzk
Lilith sighed. "It’s simple. I was supposed to find some prince to marry. Didn’t want to, so I ran away to this world, disguised myself, and lived normally. Then DuDu kidnapped me, and now we’re here."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAS0IBHik7pc
Eleo nodded slowly. "Ohhh, okay! That makes sense!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAFTsy2z3JzO
Lilith stared at him. "No, it doesn’t. At all."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAgrtuuEotP4
THE KNIGHT ARRIVES!
86Please respect copyright.PENANAR3pBovIxM1
Before the conversation could continue—
86Please respect copyright.PENANAramgBhfkqb
A portal tore open in the sky, rippling with dark energy.
86Please respect copyright.PENANArtXEdHj2tO
BOOM.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAJH58AAulCD
A tall figure stepped through.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAM3nRDVfXzR
His jagged black armor shimmered with an unnatural light, crimson eyes glowing menacingly beneath a dragon-shaped helmet.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAT3ahjwA22I
The air grew heavier.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAjwrt8K9Fdj
Lilith groaned. "Oh great… Iron."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAneBUTWyGL9
The knight’s voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority. "Miss Lilith. There you are."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAOmxb0HqjKb
Eleo squinted at him. "Dang, bro, you look so cool."
86Please respect copyright.PENANA3E15BbluqH
Lilith rolled her eyes. "Iron, this demon tried to assassinate me. Can you take him in for questioning?"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAeKu7JWX607
Iron glanced at the demon struggling in Eleo’s grasp.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAeN7FmeD0og
"Yes, ma’am."
86Please respect copyright.PENANA5WkC4fdecp
Without hesitation, he grabbed the demon by the throat, lifting him effortlessly.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAXVEPj9gw8U
The demon gulped. "I-I ain’t saying nothing!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAxYi4LYd4TF
Iron tilted his head. "Oh, you will."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAPI7iMd4Ncj
The demon shivered. "...I suddenly feel very talkative."
86Please respect copyright.PENANADxIakyHSD6
Iron turned to Lilith. "Say your goodbyes."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAuN9XetYgs5
Lilith hesitated. She glanced at Eleo, rubbing her arm. "...I can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I’ll miss you."
86Please respect copyright.PENANA3Gej57xQdo
Eleo grinned. "I’ll miss you too, Lilith!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAhgEcijKdJb
Lilith bit her lip, hesitated… then scoffed.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ox2Zga5KI
"Screw it."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAmaVRZddD8A
She ran forward, grabbed Eleo’s shirt—
86Please respect copyright.PENANAVGcdxeGdIe
—and kissed him on the cheek.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ75Ba976U
Eleo froze.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAWHTY5pMzGk
Lilith turned bright red, spun around, and sprinted through the portal.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAXFKe05ce2v
FWOOOOSH.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAele4rySjn8
The portal vanished.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAzpV0Kkp2tC
Eleo stood there, blinking. He touched his cheek. "...Huh."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAra8Qt85jqL
He grinned. "I knew she liked me!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANA1mNB0kL3Dd
Eleo took a deep breath, surveying the aftermath of the battle. The once-lively streets of Burger Town were reduced to smoldering rubble, with eerie silence replacing the usual hustle and bustle. He carefully stepped over the debris, peeking into broken buildings. What he saw made his stomach twist—lifeless bodies, frozen in their final moments of terror. His ears drooped.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAKB34E0NqNf
"Nope. Nope, nope, nope!" Eleo muttered, backing away. He shut his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to shake off the sinking feeling in his chest.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAAYkJo7wQzE
Just then, something caught his eye—a tattered map, barely clinging to the remains of a scorched wooden board. He picked it up, shaking off the ashes. Half of it was destroyed, but one destination was still legible: Lola Island. The rest of the map was completely useless.
86Please respect copyright.PENANApIq9HsiN0H
Eleo exhaled, shoulders slumping. "Alright then… Lola Island it is."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAgo0dQRpy7P
Before leaving, he turned back to the wreckage of Burger Town. He took a deep bow, lowering his head in respect.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA69WCOtAu1G
"I'm sorry I couldn't make it in time to save you all," he said softly. "I hope you're all having a nice time in heaven… and that they got good burgers up there."
86Please respect copyright.PENANAcQslCIRM8c
With that, he made his way to the docks. Most of the boats were nothing but splinters, wrecked beyond repair. Only one remained—small, rickety, and barely floating.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAsLntSHnZNc
Eleo let out a dry chuckle. "Hah! Just like my other boat! This brings back memories… of almost drowning."
86Please respect copyright.PENANArR8vK4i7BJ
He hopped aboard and grabbed the oars. As he began rowing, he started singing—loud, off-key, and completely making up the lyrics as he went.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAd3JhrBLlDb
"Row, row, row the boat~! To Lola we will go~! Hope there’s food and not some dude, trying to break my bones!~"
86Please respect copyright.PENANA1qRU2Z6mzK
After hours of rowing (and a few naps in between), Eleo’s boat finally bumped against solid ground. He groggily sat up, rubbing his eyes.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAwLGNcmH4PS
"Alright! Land! Let’s see what Lola Island—" He blinked. "—HUH?!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAbN2FMhGqkE
Instead of a welcoming town, there was nothing but a massive, dense forest. Towering trees stretched endlessly in every direction, their thick canopies blocking out most of the sunlight. The air was humid, and the distant calls of strange animals echoed through the trees.
86Please respect copyright.PENANARuoA0MBFoJ
"Aww man! I was hoping for a town with food!" Eleo groaned, hopping out of the boat. His stomach rumbled in agreement. "Guess I gotta walk... again."
86Please respect copyright.PENANA5B0PDyx5Yc
After a few minutes of trekking through the woods, he stumbled upon a dirt pathway. His ears perked up. "Huh? A road? That’s a good sign! Roads mean people, and people mean food! And... probably trouble. But mostly food!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAdPCs6NCnHO
He followed the path, humming to himself, until the trees thinned out, revealing something far beyond anything he expected.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAn85ScV16Ja
His jaw nearly hit the ground.
86Please respect copyright.PENANASx59t6hJ0b
"WHOA!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAuXfiTL1EUH
Far in the distance stood a breathtaking city—massive, circular, and surrounded by shimmering water. Long bridges stretched across the waves, connecting the mainland to the fortress-like metropolis. Towering walls wrapped around the city’s perimeter, standing tall and unyielding, as if daring anyone to challenge its defenses. Inside, countless buildings filled the space, with one grand white castle piercing the sky, its elegant structure dominating the skyline.
86Please respect copyright.PENANA9cHFaxYXdA
The scene was framed by rolling green hills, vibrant forests, and towering mountains in the far distance. The sun cast golden reflections across the water, making the whole place look like something out of a legend.
86Please respect copyright.PENANAolEtQY4WI8
Eleo took a deep breath, staring in awe. "Man… this place looks important. And important places mean important people. And important people have food!" He pumped his fists. "Alright, let’s go!!"
86Please respect copyright.PENANAEkdbAex3Zk
His stomach growled loudly. He laughed awkwardly. "...After I find something to eat first."
