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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY3h9qR7MK
This has gotten out of hand, I think it’s more important to get my powers back instead of gaining trust from either side.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaVY9mRc0v
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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXa4qvgciL
???: “Watch out!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewFMjEQJHq
Moryuu: “What the-”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BGI9J7du3
I instinctively moved out of the way of the falling object which seems to be who I’ve been waiting for.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe5oyjb8NP
Moryuu: “About time you showed up.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oUGSUFY0F
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. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDcV9Unl2w
???: “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.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6omIRcVskH
Moryuu: “….Yeah.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazUfBiTiVu
???: “Well, don’t worry I’m sure her next self will be just as interesting.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqhp9RnoZl
Moryuu: “Maybe, anyway now that you’re here Talon, what’s the plan?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQqp21Z2fU
Talon: “Well, it seems that those guys forgot about the dolls I gave them, oh, here’s a refill on those poison vials.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVptM9GWizJ
Moryuu: “Thanks.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31cJEGtey8
Talon: “Anyway, I think you had the right idea regarding your powers. Things are getting dicey, try not to kill any more people.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs8jXeXHJF
Moryuu: “Alright, I’ll try. What about you?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNYMyZhBo1
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.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaLkxmsY0Q
Moryuu: “Right, after that maybe you can help the rest of those alive.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3Mi3V5KWa
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.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUGL8NIl5R
Moryuu: “Let’s hurry, we don’t have much time.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUiOp9WLT9
Talon: “Never time for a joke to lighten the mood I guess.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGhTiQvY5v
Talon raises his hands and a yellow portal appears beside me.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5T7xpY8F0
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.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIf2DpJ6yg
I guess my powers are in the pillar Caecius was heading towards... terrific. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCXMFJ849y
Moryuu: “You too, don’t mess with the Umbra Lord Gideon.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFdJSTMBgQ
Talon: “You find him interesting?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNf2Tzhitw
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.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVMn1C8O8C
Talon grabs his chest in a dramatic manner resembling the melodrama I attempted in my alter ego. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAh0Uej5zu
Talon: “You wound me good man, don’t worry If it’s one thing I’m good at it’s teleporting away.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPB2mwY4wy
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. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmikDUl7Vs
I steel myself for the journey and take the right path, listening closely to see if Caecius is near.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd968XZQZzp
A wind mage is too much trouble for me now, especially since he can suffocate me which is pretty high level. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIJCy5wyGH
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. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCJ0g8Dosk
Moryuu: “I guess you want me to follow you.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYt8YGS58Q
I follow close behind the strange lantern until we find ourselves to what I imagine is the center of the pillar. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc2rL2Achx
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. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOqIquIPu8
*Footsteps*1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1oBd5uJMa
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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0rRVaQgPa
Caecius: “I feel powerful energy here, perhaps it’s really here. Surely it must be fate if I’ve found it so quick.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOs7Adlcwz
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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoiasWzMA2
I’ll find a way to get the jump on him, maybe there’s a way to scale the walls. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6ZSY7DJ99
Caecius: “Mmmm?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXwYckpswK
I guess that makes too much noise, now what?1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOpqsB7LwV
Caecius: “I know someone is there, come out or I’m coming to you.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmRGPiV9QB
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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBbkUuzk9K
Caecius: “So it’s you, the mysterious man. What do you want, come to fight?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqAVh9r9nG
Moryuu: “Not really, I’ve come looking for something.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCMXARka6j
Caecius: “Oh, and what would that be.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmPWPMbIxw
Moryuu: “Something that belongs to me.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhLbHUqlpe
Caecius: “Depending on what that thing is, I might have to kill you.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EMshsHOge
Moryuu: “I expected as much.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHBQniCIzj
This is going smoother than I thought. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIdaamudFO
Moryuu: “!!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSKtccefAb
Is what I thought until he shot a blade of air near my face, leaving a cut. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AJCSte6T7
Caecius: “There’s something else I need to know from you, who are you, and what’s your purpose?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLz8cpFyjL
Moryuu: “Is that all, do you want fries with that?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKFQo8Rn2r
Caecius: “*Glare*”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlO2N8g8J5
Moryuu: “I have no problem telling you the truth about this place, I wonder though if you’ll believe me.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjKxeGjJ3H
Caecius: “No harm in trying.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVeynGPhEw
Moryuu: “Fine, the first part of the info dump is the fact that this is not the afterlife.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPehH5EmVX
Caecius: “!!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOvuHi8DRJ
Caecius: “Explain.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHkOqrw3P6
Moryuu: “I don’t know if your world has something similar but what we’re standing on is actually a dead eldritch god.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzJvYFzcY6
Caecius: “But….why and how are there dead people here?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDvo62Uam7
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.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEhOU8qtLX
Caecius: “….”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL2ytBo1dO
Moryuu: “Don’t believe me huh?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQlv1s0Qkj
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.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzyxqasvBU
Moryuu: “Yep, well, everyone except the Umbras for some reason.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO7ApaLnv8
Caecius: “Impossible, this is too outrageous to believe!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQjAvXHBBx
Moryuu: “Have you ever wondered why shifts happen?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUxryXwcJB
Caecius: “….”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt5RM8u727
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.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI3n86kDeA
Caecius: “Let’s say I believe you, why are you here instead of babysitting everyone else?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmJ5JYZ8Uf
Moryuu: “Because there’s an item of great power that can help me do my job.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV54EwUH3XV
Caecius: “….”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICCohjqHBV
Caecius: “Sorry, I can’t risk believing you.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrOr546LT4
He swipes his hands and shots a wide blade of air towards me and I narrowly dodge out of the way.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzCni6lfcq
Moryuu: “I knew it, never trust a mage, especially one hellbent on bringing back the dead.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFXncsXiCj
Caecius: “It can be done!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCts59gp3zr
Moryuu: “Maybe, but the dead should rest.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdWH8aNzwZ
Caecius: “Silence!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaY07NQjoG
Caecius continually blasts out wave after wave of air blades but I dodge them all. Still, it’s hard to maneuver in this-1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfyRmVzkCo
Moryuu: “!!!!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrhK9rpled
I'm….suffocating!1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY2MU44v7p
Caecius: “Enough of this game, I’ll kill you and get what I've come for.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxWOOtpgrZ
I throw 3 daggers at him and he blocks it with air but it did break his spell. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTBKjslcTf
Moryuu: “*Cough* *Cough*”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpchKVBHsNE
Moryuu: “I guess you need concentration for that huh?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKcddPg0aq
Caecius: “I don’t need it to kill you.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE75pprD5kk
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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmsI3QgYWO
Caecius: “It’s useless!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiMm7XY1QG
Moryuu: “Is it?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWtiDhWEgJ
I close my eyes, breathe, and take out my tonfas. I jump down and slam into the ground causing a small crater. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3xWyVrLjr
Caecius: “You’re going to fight me with melee weapons, fool.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7RFwm2gGp
Caecius shots a dozen or so air blades at me but I stay still….and listen.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TelAzAU9R
The slight movements in the air, the whirling sound of blades, and the split second before impact.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrlTRR3zTZ
My instincts flair up to prepare for the assault.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye8PDNS5fo

*Slash*1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlTJS77vEP
Caecius: “Wha, how!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41BmUROFXc
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. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGm4Ld13Hb
Moryuu: “What’s wrong, I guess you’re not the best wind user out there.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FmKMxvjnf
Caecius: “You!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2DyzOE1sn
I keep my eyes closed and anticipated the assault of air blades.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd7afMsY6Z
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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LzBA3vXEn
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. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq0rX4A6ga
Caecius: “GAH!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtyCHE6ZxW
He’s sent flying into the wall, still-1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VQCR61Wl7
Moryuu: “Tch.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWUaWVaqli
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. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAawQwidCPa
Caecius: “*Cough* *Cough*”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodm4PNQROk
Caecius: “No more playing around, I’m going to…oh my god.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zrMpm021j
Moryuu: “What?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYje8Cc3aN
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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVbxBYSJp9
Caecius: “The Eye….”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMsBIOMCqt
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. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx2KmV02Ai
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. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8a5cvv5Co
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. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3V35EHgOK
Caecius: “At last, I’m closer to my goal. Wait for me….Nieth.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXCHNGAwW6
Caecius: “It’s over Moryuu, now that I’m this close to my goal there’s no way I’m losing to you.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqzxbtV2Pe
Moryuu: “Maybe before, but not now.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdQgh8H4OE
Caecius: “What’s that, a potion of some sort? That’s not going to help you here.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenM6HoelUp
Moryuu: “Well, allow me to surprise you.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EQLxbj7ZO
[ Music Plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojL5Y5HvOlE ]1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxiCDLCd9s
I down the entire flask and instantly, I can feel the power of lightning coursing through me again.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPQwX1uggy
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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gsppgzuJi
I’ve survived this before, I-I’ll....survive ...again!1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRXUrJuPZK
Soon enough, the pain subsides and the real power begins to form within. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPINdqjHCPe
My wounds heal and azure lightning strikes all around scorching the area around me.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPQa61CbO2
I float back down, my eyes shoot open to reveal a deep light blue color change and I push back my hair. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWioWP131U
Moryuu: “Bow, you’re in the presence of a God.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBfikVYWdl
Caecius: “Wha-What are you!?”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdfik9VjK2
I blitzed past him in the form of lightning and grab the eye before he could register what happened.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIZqqhWenG
Moryuu: “The winner of this battle.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CGJK9ipF1
He hurried to fling more air blades towards me but I block them all with a lightning shield. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmz4hG3Dq0
Moryuu: “Normally I’d kill a mage like you but I have a mission to complete, give up.” 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCHxBHPiXM
Caecius: “I can’t….I need that eye….”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPcb9wvZZy
Moryuu: “She’s dead, let her rest.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XwvrjTP3U
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.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fX0YO3V3D
Moryuu: “I’ve lost loved ones too, but I would not disgrace their memory and name by dragging them back from the dead.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJcPxiNDB9
Caecius: “Tch….”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDam04ITylq
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.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZE0ILfTJh
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.”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv7WJoR7TP
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. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdQOHHmOHy
Caecius: “No….No….I can’t lose her again!!!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSv7tnICcr
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. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMR29h6cqU
Caecius: “Die!!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH3VzueTc5
He throws it at me, I know it won’t hurt me but….my killing instinct involuntary kicked in anyway.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmNWxCqNb3
Moryuu: “You Fool!”1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQKX14aIJB
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.1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXnXpWH41B
In the end, Caecius collapses on the ground charred black and….probably dead. 1026Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze0aHrwenU
