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.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblXiH1vH3U
This has gotten out of hand, I think it’s more important to get my powers back instead of gaining trust from either side.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpAMlT9fVw
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.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaCd9ccXjz
???: “Watch out!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdoI4q3NFt
Moryuu: “What the-”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdVXIUZYdR
I instinctively moved out of the way of the falling object which seems to be who I’ve been waiting for.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP83HlH8BK3
Moryuu: “About time you showed up.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fi5DanwbD
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. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FjRyInGtk
???: “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.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrAoEb21Fn
Moryuu: “….Yeah.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wJNhlTUeb
???: “Well, don’t worry I’m sure her next self will be just as interesting.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuw8D14y1R
Moryuu: “Maybe, anyway now that you’re here Talon, what’s the plan?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8c0QzNbTj
Talon: “Well, it seems that those guys forgot about the dolls I gave them, oh, here’s a refill on those poison vials.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1JXYVdIZT
Moryuu: “Thanks.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi9mr9TQ7z
Talon: “Anyway, I think you had the right idea regarding your powers. Things are getting dicey, try not to kill any more people.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcZ7UkZYta
Moryuu: “Alright, I’ll try. What about you?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBztCN82ba
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.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqQ6GIcZql
Moryuu: “Right, after that maybe you can help the rest of those alive.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpff6fNc2P7
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.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDXqsh1mDa
Moryuu: “Let’s hurry, we don’t have much time.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDQhYWp0wW
Talon: “Never time for a joke to lighten the mood I guess.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkq4Awu8AO
Talon raises his hands and a yellow portal appears beside me.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RhKIa3dfk
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.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCd6hWgepq
I guess my powers are in the pillar Caecius was heading towards... terrific. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMg9reQlGD
Moryuu: “You too, don’t mess with the Umbra Lord Gideon.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpE750YZ8h
Talon: “You find him interesting?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZYRg1KoOK
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.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpYyYvnqxS
Talon grabs his chest in a dramatic manner resembling the melodrama I attempted in my alter ego. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv634KIVu8s
Talon: “You wound me good man, don’t worry If it’s one thing I’m good at it’s teleporting away.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0yWbrLHgz
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. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JkpX6lhGZ
I steel myself for the journey and take the right path, listening closely to see if Caecius is near.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDZ0i1veMv
A wind mage is too much trouble for me now, especially since he can suffocate me which is pretty high level. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpPFDr7wcv
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. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvptDD71MU
Moryuu: “I guess you want me to follow you.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34IgRAzXoU
I follow close behind the strange lantern until we find ourselves to what I imagine is the center of the pillar. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiWK9U2blG
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. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Hd3iXTbY
*Footsteps*1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ739DzmgouP
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.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfaZpdxSTS
Caecius: “I feel powerful energy here, perhaps it’s really here. Surely it must be fate if I’ve found it so quick.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCkqFbIL1c
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.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TJ37PuMio
I’ll find a way to get the jump on him, maybe there’s a way to scale the walls. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzOEwxHBMw
Caecius: “Mmmm?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzxEmwDALw
I guess that makes too much noise, now what?1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo9aAqJjvw
Caecius: “I know someone is there, come out or I’m coming to you.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4gsdspjkI
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.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IG9sJh1ut
Caecius: “So it’s you, the mysterious man. What do you want, come to fight?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnT7qGdPTx
Moryuu: “Not really, I’ve come looking for something.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Vhv7mHmc
Caecius: “Oh, and what would that be.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLJQ7JHfBX
Moryuu: “Something that belongs to me.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Liyx0qnr
Caecius: “Depending on what that thing is, I might have to kill you.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR1XJgiGtE
Moryuu: “I expected as much.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sx2GTM7Zx
This is going smoother than I thought. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsJG4bslId
Moryuu: “!!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbfgytt2Ow
Is what I thought until he shot a blade of air near my face, leaving a cut. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfZGjssNXC
Caecius: “There’s something else I need to know from you, who are you, and what’s your purpose?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBJycyyeR6
Moryuu: “Is that all, do you want fries with that?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO5ZhTvkqp
Caecius: “*Glare*”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklaLZGFIh6
Moryuu: “I have no problem telling you the truth about this place, I wonder though if you’ll believe me.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhftTXMcdfZ
Caecius: “No harm in trying.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFwXHKt8v9
Moryuu: “Fine, the first part of the info dump is the fact that this is not the afterlife.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrJt9FfP7W
Caecius: “!!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQUlkOmmEz
Caecius: “Explain.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNhzVAQioo
Moryuu: “I don’t know if your world has something similar but what we’re standing on is actually a dead eldritch god.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G03eiyBjt
Caecius: “But….why and how are there dead people here?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaYgX6fPoO
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.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeXCzSBrce
Caecius: “….”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBEYrdtmn9
Moryuu: “Don’t believe me huh?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyUFfpfAhQ
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.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ncUs3cD5f
Moryuu: “Yep, well, everyone except the Umbras for some reason.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJZLo8aZNx
Caecius: “Impossible, this is too outrageous to believe!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX05kJWOFJn
Moryuu: “Have you ever wondered why shifts happen?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxpoLFnFwb
Caecius: “….”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFcr5z5kSg
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.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5w5W5aLsm
Caecius: “Let’s say I believe you, why are you here instead of babysitting everyone else?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFgV2F5k6J
Moryuu: “Because there’s an item of great power that can help me do my job.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjb2OPsjTr
Caecius: “….”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt3uuFy6NE
Caecius: “Sorry, I can’t risk believing you.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB4VxRhWaG
He swipes his hands and shots a wide blade of air towards me and I narrowly dodge out of the way.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4IkVBjOpz
Moryuu: “I knew it, never trust a mage, especially one hellbent on bringing back the dead.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm5VLPB1LR
Caecius: “It can be done!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFJrkZpDub
Moryuu: “Maybe, but the dead should rest.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRBlVvnMqx
Caecius: “Silence!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VBmuGzgaO
Caecius continually blasts out wave after wave of air blades but I dodge them all. Still, it’s hard to maneuver in this-1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9wcJyhQXm
Moryuu: “!!!!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYPW8qh8pU
I'm….suffocating!1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ2oF3kYgU
Caecius: “Enough of this game, I’ll kill you and get what I've come for.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygWxYcPu9h
I throw 3 daggers at him and he blocks it with air but it did break his spell. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU4eS87mdi
Moryuu: “*Cough* *Cough*”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCzDnr1pNO
Moryuu: “I guess you need concentration for that huh?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY4FgnUm2A
Caecius: “I don’t need it to kill you.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkblmJ7XHv7
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.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvVa8pozT5
Caecius: “It’s useless!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp9jf40d9Q
Moryuu: “Is it?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuqv2UqLFT
I close my eyes, breathe, and take out my tonfas. I jump down and slam into the ground causing a small crater. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcwHoAnfyR
Caecius: “You’re going to fight me with melee weapons, fool.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifHS9XQsPJ
Caecius shots a dozen or so air blades at me but I stay still….and listen.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QxIVZ8BX7
The slight movements in the air, the whirling sound of blades, and the split second before impact.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFtG8EyFIC
My instincts flair up to prepare for the assault.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzGL062YjG

*Slash*1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKTpwnAyTg
Caecius: “Wha, how!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmes6VTFNCa
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. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i1qJd4P4q
Moryuu: “What’s wrong, I guess you’re not the best wind user out there.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDrhCoSJkp
Caecius: “You!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcgOkZCHea
I keep my eyes closed and anticipated the assault of air blades.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3WZIpKQx1
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.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmBSFpqen7
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. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG8sricPNA
Caecius: “GAH!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIbhm3G8V9
He’s sent flying into the wall, still-1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssqZNbn2jC
Moryuu: “Tch.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTjEVtn552
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. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYIj3QKhl7
Caecius: “*Cough* *Cough*”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZXGV98nhX
Caecius: “No more playing around, I’m going to…oh my god.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGREzLZIuz
Moryuu: “What?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGyxdymUkE
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.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoU3o9lecX
Caecius: “The Eye….”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3Hbfhim9o
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. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC67lxta5cd
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. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMyMfm3Izj
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. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD8onQK53t
Caecius: “At last, I’m closer to my goal. Wait for me….Nieth.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH77rJU1qY
Caecius: “It’s over Moryuu, now that I’m this close to my goal there’s no way I’m losing to you.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBRXdjNtoK
Moryuu: “Maybe before, but not now.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4RCHouhVA
Caecius: “What’s that, a potion of some sort? That’s not going to help you here.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktmjGUJZQf
Moryuu: “Well, allow me to surprise you.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NJFHBmjLX
[ Music Plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojL5Y5HvOlE ]1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaW4DLx47U
I down the entire flask and instantly, I can feel the power of lightning coursing through me again.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZJFSpgWtf
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.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMZLKNnlmC
I’ve survived this before, I-I’ll....survive ...again!1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rdgmYFbig
Soon enough, the pain subsides and the real power begins to form within. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJw2UyxnFf
My wounds heal and azure lightning strikes all around scorching the area around me.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD08DUDmVDf
I float back down, my eyes shoot open to reveal a deep light blue color change and I push back my hair. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26rQjxKzk1
Moryuu: “Bow, you’re in the presence of a God.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PqNgBOcNT
Caecius: “Wha-What are you!?”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixjJqH3RWj
I blitzed past him in the form of lightning and grab the eye before he could register what happened.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2T7p6OnC6
Moryuu: “The winner of this battle.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInUJKjiihd
He hurried to fling more air blades towards me but I block them all with a lightning shield. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8tFqKbzma
Moryuu: “Normally I’d kill a mage like you but I have a mission to complete, give up.” 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rNGUDY4vV
Caecius: “I can’t….I need that eye….”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAn2uUQkUN
Moryuu: “She’s dead, let her rest.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1HA82VLN7
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.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4RRDisdOx
Moryuu: “I’ve lost loved ones too, but I would not disgrace their memory and name by dragging them back from the dead.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhlevvOC3U
Caecius: “Tch….”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uMvXQGu4g
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.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVyn1tMs8a
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.”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r9XmO5aq7
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. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw42mcqefV
Caecius: “No….No….I can’t lose her again!!!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6EdX5Ox8X
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. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlMcWqZ3CD
Caecius: “Die!!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGJ6vo2zgz
He throws it at me, I know it won’t hurt me but….my killing instinct involuntary kicked in anyway.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM2Lm9EUtp
Moryuu: “You Fool!”1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMWTMTDIn7
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.1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazHtoYQZoS
In the end, Caecius collapses on the ground charred black and….probably dead. 1212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMXJFOyJB4
