A chilling voice cut through the smoky air.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA0qItOMAAJm
"I found Princess Lilith!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAgCJacRBV4R
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.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAOGVv5EedqJ
Lilith’s face paled. "Oh no…"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAOBOEQT8gl1
Then—more demons appeared. Dozens. Crawling out from behind destroyed buildings, rising from the debris, perching on rooftops.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAWmARGAv5kY
"There she is!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAdkKUCHv0D1
"Kill her!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAjOuteIuW9k
The mob charged forward.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA3Uqv7cZ0UM
Lilith instinctively took a step back, her breath catching in her throat. She was ready to bolt—until a firm hand grabbed hers.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA7ai01zQSue
Eleo grinned confidently. "Don’t worry, Lilith! I got this!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANACU8luKQjcA
Lilith snapped out of her panic. "You?! Against all of them?!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAWYPmZHx14U
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Pfft, easy."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAyi0dwofn4A
THE BATTLE BEGINS!
90Please respect copyright.PENANAcDlyxFg59h
"INK BARRAGE!!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAQHZuaDsCMn
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.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAtOYW1xMQN4
BAM! BAM! BAM!
90Please respect copyright.PENANA7r2LELDsE2
A demon flew backward, crashing into a building. Another spun through the air before slamming into the ground.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAwN0Hdl1ymB
One demon leapt at Eleo from behind—
90Please respect copyright.PENANAC2rhvQiOjR
Eleo teleported. Vanishing in a blink.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAlvqWSDCmFV
The demon looked around, confused. "Wha—"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAXxyIEmnqjg
Eleo reappeared in the air above him.
90Please respect copyright.PENANABp36Y7hCrT
CLAP!
90Please respect copyright.PENANArlZPyr1TzI
Eleo smashed his palms together, transforming both hands into a massive cannon.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA580kAblAR0
"INK CANNON!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAOBdUVZ4LCp
A huge ink projectile shot out, blasting the demon off his feet and sending him skidding across the ground like a skipping stone.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAWqXUjecHtW
Eleo landed with a goofy grin. "Hah! Too easy!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAzPSpCdogCn
Lilith watched in stunned silence. "He’s… actually winning?"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAMSnWjC0WOn
The demons, now angrier, swarmed him.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA3wasTL9D1y
Eleo smirked. "Oh, you want more?"
90Please respect copyright.PENANA9y0k4Ue7Ag
His hands shifted, ink morphing into a pair of massive hammers.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAFm7eBwmztD
"INK HAMMER SLAM!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANA80HFkBwh2D
Eleo leapt up and swung both hammers down, creating a shockwave that shook the entire town.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAcTZmjKziNb
BOOOOM!
90Please respect copyright.PENANA7DTchCpnw0
The ground cracked beneath him, sending demons flying like ragdolls.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAXxxKDm2eko
Lilith blinked. "This idiot… is actually strong?!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANALXzrxIFBBK
A straggler tried to run—
90Please respect copyright.PENANANkxniGcSr6
SNAP!
90Please respect copyright.PENANATmAQzAzo9m
Eleo lashed out with an ink rope, wrapping it around the demon’s ankle and yanking him back.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA1H8T8x1tCS
WHAM! The demon faceplanted into the ground.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAtZcbXyyOR6
Eleo grinned, holding the last struggling demon up by the collar. "Okay, jerk—why’d you attack Burger Town?"
90Please respect copyright.PENANABZLDSbALbG
The demon groaned, eyes spinning. "Ugh… assassination mission…"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAvBRqYwsQ2J
Lilith tensed. "They were trying to kill me?"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAS4jB338j7D
The demon chuckled weakly. "Lucky guess… but when you didn’t show up, we decided to wreck the place instead."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAzEI83Eo1PX
Lilith scowled. "Because I was kidnapped by that damn DuDu bastard."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAkKjttOAM3S
The demon smirked. "Also… your father’s furious that you ran away."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAcu9QlIUEnj
Lilith crossed her arms. "Of course, he is."
90Please respect copyright.PENANATN9ByIZ3Qt
Eleo scratched his head. "Wait, wait, wait—I'm confused."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAjfvRg8kknK
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."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAHhEjnIq9Gg
Eleo nodded slowly. "Ohhh, okay! That makes sense!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAIwTmY5KRmf
Lilith stared at him. "No, it doesn’t. At all."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAfFJazuiovg
THE KNIGHT ARRIVES!
90Please respect copyright.PENANAUNod67LSSU
Before the conversation could continue—
90Please respect copyright.PENANA5vICH63I4d
A portal tore open in the sky, rippling with dark energy.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA6aNJkcCju6
BOOM.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAoq3Dx6kX51
A tall figure stepped through.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAleZkj4spPl
His jagged black armor shimmered with an unnatural light, crimson eyes glowing menacingly beneath a dragon-shaped helmet.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAAaOTkpTKF4
The air grew heavier.
90Please respect copyright.PENANA8GATpcqHWs
Lilith groaned. "Oh great… Iron."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAyxoM0eqge3
The knight’s voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority. "Miss Lilith. There you are."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAUzgrcJmyV5
Eleo squinted at him. "Dang, bro, you look so cool."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAc2on9nYasi
Lilith rolled her eyes. "Iron, this demon tried to assassinate me. Can you take him in for questioning?"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAS3ITJkxkDM
Iron glanced at the demon struggling in Eleo’s grasp.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAgfaqxwzNdQ
"Yes, ma’am."
90Please respect copyright.PENANA6gDPiz8WsG
Without hesitation, he grabbed the demon by the throat, lifting him effortlessly.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAmu05Pr1Sof
The demon gulped. "I-I ain’t saying nothing!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAgHOXnefp0D
Iron tilted his head. "Oh, you will."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAQC54F1dHts
The demon shivered. "...I suddenly feel very talkative."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAB93B3tik8P
Iron turned to Lilith. "Say your goodbyes."
90Please respect copyright.PENANADy2ZK1PE8D
Lilith hesitated. She glanced at Eleo, rubbing her arm. "...I can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I’ll miss you."
90Please respect copyright.PENANARgFk28TkKK
Eleo grinned. "I’ll miss you too, Lilith!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANA6xmvRLQHgc
Lilith bit her lip, hesitated… then scoffed.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAXhU4JshMI6
"Screw it."
90Please respect copyright.PENANABvwhBkNNcK
She ran forward, grabbed Eleo’s shirt—
90Please respect copyright.PENANA5uykR3EEcc
—and kissed him on the cheek.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAHdnsrU22Ja
Eleo froze.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAQGLPep376D
Lilith turned bright red, spun around, and sprinted through the portal.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAwHBjBDfEaR
FWOOOOSH.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAus7O5f5geO
The portal vanished.
90Please respect copyright.PENANANevavJ5zon
Eleo stood there, blinking. He touched his cheek. "...Huh."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAOdgn0jTxd2
He grinned. "I knew she liked me!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANA61x3X0AXrF
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.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAUVGOQ4WkPY
"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.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAmL1hyK0c1v
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.
90Please respect copyright.PENANATelzo7Dvz4
Eleo exhaled, shoulders slumping. "Alright then… Lola Island it is."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAe95Wyzo0kj
Before leaving, he turned back to the wreckage of Burger Town. He took a deep bow, lowering his head in respect.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAh8gVEO28VG
"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."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAvkaMwfQ7VB
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.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAe3M5Dht7Ih
Eleo let out a dry chuckle. "Hah! Just like my other boat! This brings back memories… of almost drowning."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAv7O1Ow5Ot6
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.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAnQlxqluB6h
"Row, row, row the boat~! To Lola we will go~! Hope there’s food and not some dude, trying to break my bones!~"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAftRHKHFVVY
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.
90Please respect copyright.PENANANLFssInQfN
"Alright! Land! Let’s see what Lola Island—" He blinked. "—HUH?!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAQBRhOJSJGm
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.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAnqBOxWDla2
"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."
90Please respect copyright.PENANAbqBCNPOQB6
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!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAQal1qh22MZ
He followed the path, humming to himself, until the trees thinned out, revealing something far beyond anything he expected.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAhvFTJQMYb9
His jaw nearly hit the ground.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAWHxIz6cKRW
"WHOA!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0H7SHfqcL
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.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAjE8Up8e4CC
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.
90Please respect copyright.PENANAGotcCHWucK
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!!"
90Please respect copyright.PENANAqL4kFlCZk5
His stomach growled loudly. He laughed awkwardly. "...After I find something to eat first."
