Well, this is a mess. I watched the whole thing unfold from a safe distance, I didn’t think it was a good time to interfere but now…. everyone is underground.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbWXlG7SJF
This has gotten out of hand, I think it’s more important to get my powers back instead of gaining trust from either side.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo8XwyB1TN
I look towards the many pillars in the distance and wonder which one could be hiding the Essence of Zeus. Just to be safe, maybe I should go to the one Caecius is heading. Don’t want him to get his hands on such power.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5611zha3t6
???: “Watch out!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItSmSykDvL
Moryuu: “What the-”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQzr9Usl5a
I instinctively moved out of the way of the falling object which seems to be who I’ve been waiting for.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwzQ5b79Ah
Moryuu: “About time you showed up.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3DwGYrVo7
The seemingly young boy dusted himself off and rose to meet me face to face. Considering our situation, I’m still surprised he would wear a normal yellow t-shirt and blue jeans like we’re on some vacation. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEUZqMFFcT
???: “Sorry, it was hard forcing my way in here but the portal that girl’s bird made helped a lot. Sad what happened to her.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYkwWYxceL
Moryuu: “….Yeah.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY65dtwpQbn
???: “Well, don’t worry I’m sure her next self will be just as interesting.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MSlj8rx7o
Moryuu: “Maybe, anyway now that you’re here Talon, what’s the plan?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw82QUagBM3
Talon: “Well, it seems that those guys forgot about the dolls I gave them, oh, here’s a refill on those poison vials.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD7AcEYA3C
Moryuu: “Thanks.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yTds1jMHZ
Talon: “Anyway, I think you had the right idea regarding your powers. Things are getting dicey, try not to kill any more people.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyQ9ud2xzC
Moryuu: “Alright, I’ll try. What about you?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dezV9yPGC
Talon: “I’ll try to find the sleeping bodies of the fallen by teleportation. Their souls should still be in there ready for the next round.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE6k2ggqUr
Moryuu: “Right, after that maybe you can help the rest of those alive.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6WWC3dVxV
Talon: “Of course, I can’t wait to actually meet normal people. Well, except maybe Jayden since his organization is similar to mine and I don’t want to be dragged back into that environment.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqMHVkjgqM
Moryuu: “Let’s hurry, we don’t have much time.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGzXjTKtMa
Talon: “Never time for a joke to lighten the mood I guess.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjyCk1y0IU
Talon raises his hands and a yellow portal appears beside me.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmeydy42Qe
Talon: “It’s way easier to open portals inside this place than outside. This should take you to where Caecius is, be careful. Get your powers and leave, I can’t have either of you dying.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NBQif9EPL
I guess my powers are in the pillar Caecius was heading towards... terrific. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkk6thqI0A
Moryuu: “You too, don’t mess with the Umbra Lord Gideon.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK1PV0fNZn
Talon: “You find him interesting?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl65n5nrd39
Moryuu: “I want a rematch with him after I get my powers back….and you’re no match for him. He’d rip you apart.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc96NGjqZvW
Talon grabs his chest in a dramatic manner resembling the melodrama I attempted in my alter ego. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrBfyNbYbU
Talon: “You wound me good man, don’t worry If it’s one thing I’m good at it’s teleporting away.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GjKnTpBQG
I nod and enter the portal to find myself in a near pitch-black structure. There are glimmers of blue light to the right and left of me. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv9fhSThdO
I steel myself for the journey and take the right path, listening closely to see if Caecius is near.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BSsClv5FZ
A wind mage is too much trouble for me now, especially since he can suffocate me which is pretty high level. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1XGD733rj
I creep through the dark corridor to come across the blue light from earlier that’s coming from a weirdly floating lantern. Suddenly the Flame begins to dance around and playfully flies deeper into the structure. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LWWaxdyhz
Moryuu: “I guess you want me to follow you.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X1aXlXj69
I follow close behind the strange lantern until we find ourselves to what I imagine is the center of the pillar. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnTvrbtXta
Blue light shines from the top that reveals another sharper pillar in the center of the room with 2 lanterns adorned on 2 of the corners. I guess this little guy is one of them but where’s the last one. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcy2fd6TCM
*Footsteps*1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWktXq6TBY
I dash to the nearest hiding place within the cracks of the jagged walls. As expected, Caecius comes walking in with the last lantern. I guess they don’t care who comes in.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBikebsgkcz
Caecius: “I feel powerful energy here, perhaps it’s really here. Surely it must be fate if I’ve found it so quick.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaM2QMoyyy
He inspects the sharp pillar in the center, searching for a way to unlock the contents of it I gather. I can’t let him get Zeus’s Essence.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZTD1Odjsk
I’ll find a way to get the jump on him, maybe there’s a way to scale the walls. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45kMw3cCPU
Caecius: “Mmmm?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUot7365i7E
I guess that makes too much noise, now what?1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk4o0jJ5Q5
Caecius: “I know someone is there, come out or I’m coming to you.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J9P16IqfI
Unless I have Zeus’s Essence it will be too risky to fight him. I come out of my hiding spot with my hands up.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RIsA0LhG3
Caecius: “So it’s you, the mysterious man. What do you want, come to fight?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjbLjRU0PX
Moryuu: “Not really, I’ve come looking for something.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU5qnUHljc
Caecius: “Oh, and what would that be.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycMWZNer9B
Moryuu: “Something that belongs to me.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXSqhIuHf5
Caecius: “Depending on what that thing is, I might have to kill you.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjUtP83R62
Moryuu: “I expected as much.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uIgqBUYpE
This is going smoother than I thought. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3INAs35wH
Moryuu: “!!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsNCvPDTKj
Is what I thought until he shot a blade of air near my face, leaving a cut. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o8rEbWaPw
Caecius: “There’s something else I need to know from you, who are you, and what’s your purpose?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1J5Xyhanj
Moryuu: “Is that all, do you want fries with that?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy14TzhDPch
Caecius: “*Glare*”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy9oRRQW3R
Moryuu: “I have no problem telling you the truth about this place, I wonder though if you’ll believe me.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4TFw8IjIB
Caecius: “No harm in trying.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxZ6JJdGgz
Moryuu: “Fine, the first part of the info dump is the fact that this is not the afterlife.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa2Yk8GyLE
Caecius: “!!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw56f0M9rCu
Caecius: “Explain.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7rEpbzVJB
Moryuu: “I don’t know if your world has something similar but what we’re standing on is actually a dead eldritch god.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpYXpg6AWe
Caecius: “But….why and how are there dead people here?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7WImjXhXj
Moryuu: “Well, an acquaintance says that the nature of this god is to drag souls from other afterlives into this realm that seems like one but with an added twist. Time loops, every time someone dies and comes back, a part of their soul feeds the god and with enough energy, it will revive and cause massive damage to our universes and much more.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKzcerK4Nj
Caecius: “….”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMkkS2v6Oz
Moryuu: “Don’t believe me huh?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8l9MkIAqu
Caecius: “So you’re saying we’ve all died multiple times, came back in the warehouse without much power, and then did the whole thing again but slightly different.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVOgVPe0OL
Moryuu: “Yep, well, everyone except the Umbras for some reason.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAaRnRfuFo
Caecius: “Impossible, this is too outrageous to believe!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIDmSqKN0U
Moryuu: “Have you ever wondered why shifts happen?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVhqsGhE25
Caecius: “….”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEysvzetWwL
Moryuu: “That’s the beast stirring, my job is to keep everyone from dying and maybe work together to do enough damage to it so it loses all the energy it’s been building up. After that, everyone can go back to where they belong.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYonGhviVMY
Caecius: “Let’s say I believe you, why are you here instead of babysitting everyone else?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17cTMvPC4Y
Moryuu: “Because there’s an item of great power that can help me do my job.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyjy2UI1ks
Caecius: “….”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchA63IVZjR
Caecius: “Sorry, I can’t risk believing you.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DiAqBShe4
He swipes his hands and shots a wide blade of air towards me and I narrowly dodge out of the way.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8TClWafgW
Moryuu: “I knew it, never trust a mage, especially one hellbent on bringing back the dead.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6Bs9pAURA
Caecius: “It can be done!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFla63cjPB
Moryuu: “Maybe, but the dead should rest.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg447ggr7wi
Caecius: “Silence!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2HZ7BDRDw
Caecius continually blasts out wave after wave of air blades but I dodge them all. Still, it’s hard to maneuver in this-1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wl1QITlLd
Moryuu: “!!!!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5De1ENqnj
I'm….suffocating!1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2AIsuZn7j
Caecius: “Enough of this game, I’ll kill you and get what I've come for.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghiehQapdF
I throw 3 daggers at him and he blocks it with air but it did break his spell. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUuGXLerLb
Moryuu: “*Cough* *Cough*”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKRBxlTFmi
Moryuu: “I guess you need concentration for that huh?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNU3LSemOl
Caecius: “I don’t need it to kill you.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGG36YbkY5
He shoots more air blades but I jump high up onto the few bars that line the ceiling corners. I let loose more daggers at him from above but he blocks them again.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ddvtJadr5
Caecius: “It’s useless!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQDtvoeB5f
Moryuu: “Is it?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyTUNX0FZO
I close my eyes, breathe, and take out my tonfas. I jump down and slam into the ground causing a small crater. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm7mi9DDOD
Caecius: “You’re going to fight me with melee weapons, fool.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S3eUxBAxS
Caecius shots a dozen or so air blades at me but I stay still….and listen.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEaxamK8uq
The slight movements in the air, the whirling sound of blades, and the split second before impact.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RMiGiG8hk
My instincts flair up to prepare for the assault.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpqgmLuZen

*Slash*1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeorIr91YLq
Caecius: “Wha, how!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi0UsvgPBz
I knocked away all the blades of air, probably causing large gashes in the wall behind me. I was still cut all over but nothing vital has been damaged. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWlwYU1IA1
Moryuu: “What’s wrong, I guess you’re not the best wind user out there.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYicaCXWQw
Caecius: “You!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfZjItPhEl
I keep my eyes closed and anticipated the assault of air blades.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWW4tXjBUi
I dash forward and reflect the dangerous ones away right before they touch my body while letting others past my defenses so I can keep going.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqi59Uqv6f
Despite the many injuries, I make it right in front of Caecius and hit him in the gut with my Tonfa bypassing his wind barrier. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5hODyLuEk
Caecius: “GAH!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbvvLGF5SZ
He’s sent flying into the wall, still-1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnPhbrf6SQ
Moryuu: “Tch.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK0tGLEp2M
I’m not that well off either, I’m breathing heavily and I don’t think that finished the job. Damn, I should have attached an Anti-Magic Dagger to my Tonfa. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQqeWysmLW
Caecius: “*Cough* *Cough*”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcgdFY5wTY
Caecius: “No more playing around, I’m going to…oh my god.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoRPK4PmCO
Moryuu: “What?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJiWvB5sZ3
I look towards what he’s staring at and behold, there’s the flask of Zeus’s Essence and….something else floating in the air. All where the pillar once stood, I guess it was sliced to bits during the fight.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRViRtVz11e
Caecius: “The Eye….”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbPxxW8Dp4
He dashes to the object and I jump too, he can’t have either of them. Whatever the eye is it can’t be good if he has it. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlEoIbXY3k
He shoots a powerful blunt blast of air towards me which pushes me away but I throw 2 daggers at him and 1 from the blunt side at the flask as I fall. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu5ACEKok6
The flask falls to the ground safely but Caecius grabs the eye. I shake off the pain of the fall and push towards the flash while he’s distracted. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbRjzpsxnR
Caecius: “At last, I’m closer to my goal. Wait for me….Nieth.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHGEJkvbvR
Caecius: “It’s over Moryuu, now that I’m this close to my goal there’s no way I’m losing to you.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNcrNahwr3
Moryuu: “Maybe before, but not now.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzKDHpM6NR
Caecius: “What’s that, a potion of some sort? That’s not going to help you here.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJmH1h1pw0
Moryuu: “Well, allow me to surprise you.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ERVQPlq9L
[ Music Plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojL5Y5HvOlE ]1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXADJW1QABd
I down the entire flask and instantly, I can feel the power of lightning coursing through me again.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6TQFM6rGz
I’m lifted into the air, my body is electrocuted from within and I begin to feel the almost unbearable pain battering my bleeding body.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Mk2H7UGp
I’ve survived this before, I-I’ll....survive ...again!1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcG0kROej1
Soon enough, the pain subsides and the real power begins to form within. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9KFFmXRvs
My wounds heal and azure lightning strikes all around scorching the area around me.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sd8WWftdX
I float back down, my eyes shoot open to reveal a deep light blue color change and I push back my hair. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAFqOwcMdz
Moryuu: “Bow, you’re in the presence of a God.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuA3iwrwOf
Caecius: “Wha-What are you!?”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRg7aW6Smk
I blitzed past him in the form of lightning and grab the eye before he could register what happened.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjkq7zbye6
Moryuu: “The winner of this battle.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34YoecbTPK
He hurried to fling more air blades towards me but I block them all with a lightning shield. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHhSHG2AvQ
Moryuu: “Normally I’d kill a mage like you but I have a mission to complete, give up.” 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoXPdbJV6W
Caecius: “I can’t….I need that eye….”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwICFnE5Keh
Moryuu: “She’s dead, let her rest.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUCPIPKgnL
Caecius: “Rest? How can she rest?! She was killed before my eyes by the scum of the earth! Even if I have to move heaven and earth, I will give her the life she deserved.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX3Xdrpxd7
Moryuu: “I’ve lost loved ones too, but I would not disgrace their memory and name by dragging them back from the dead.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHUQ2m85a6
Caecius: “Tch….”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfEUAdqwgM
Moryuu: “There are few things I hate more than Necromancy. That’s why I’m going to kill Shadow for not only betraying me but because he dabbles in such dark arts.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVO2HxT36F
Moryuu: “We’re done here, I don’t want to kill you and you’re no match for me. I’m leaving here with the eye, maybe you should think about what I said.”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxixQlHxe1
I turn my back on Caecius and head towards the exit of this place. Now that I have my powers back, I can move around the place a lot faster and help everyone stay alive better. Well, everyone except Gideon and Shadow. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG6kTeXQYv
Caecius: “No….No….I can’t lose her again!!!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2k5IHbBZG
I turn around to see Caecius conjuring up a large mass of magical wind that would do nothing to me but would probably collapse the place. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7X4GNDfRQ
Caecius: “Die!!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP4ncqIXdK
He throws it at me, I know it won’t hurt me but….my killing instinct involuntary kicked in anyway.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfttaEIZPb
Moryuu: “You Fool!”1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKtijMushy
I shoot a powerful blast of lightning that rips through his wind and then through him causing a massive hole in the wall that leads outside and collapses a couple of buildings too.1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnljkeIU5bL
In the end, Caecius collapses on the ground charred black and….probably dead. 1211Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsuYn6oGCP
