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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b5jL6Y7NZ
This has gotten out of hand, I think it’s more important to get my powers back instead of gaining trust from either side.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPlL6BHMuE
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6ogb6YZZx
???: “Watch out!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHqHmMr5sh
Moryuu: “What the-”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMmrYxcb8C
I instinctively moved out of the way of the falling object which seems to be who I’ve been waiting for.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPsoTHLldI
Moryuu: “About time you showed up.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvG1E06CtK
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPElfvEWli
???: “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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFyazvhb1o
Moryuu: “….Yeah.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyabN0fJc3M
???: “Well, don’t worry I’m sure her next self will be just as interesting.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLJSimeWll
Moryuu: “Maybe, anyway now that you’re here Talon, what’s the plan?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGUXckBTvf
Talon: “Well, it seems that those guys forgot about the dolls I gave them, oh, here’s a refill on those poison vials.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eFWWlmWda
Moryuu: “Thanks.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mtTu7zdrA
Talon: “Anyway, I think you had the right idea regarding your powers. Things are getting dicey, try not to kill any more people.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPkN9PmWwv
Moryuu: “Alright, I’ll try. What about you?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprZbQcI5rd
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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzS1GQxE0o
Moryuu: “Right, after that maybe you can help the rest of those alive.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLbRpJp7ad
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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95oB5a9CNL
Moryuu: “Let’s hurry, we don’t have much time.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLgY9JmjUY
Talon: “Never time for a joke to lighten the mood I guess.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckxyNE1JJe
Talon raises his hands and a yellow portal appears beside me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcSbKpBzYO
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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB5BkubGrM
I guess my powers are in the pillar Caecius was heading towards... terrific. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8D0xPGtUG
Moryuu: “You too, don’t mess with the Umbra Lord Gideon.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtHtRfERjF
Talon: “You find him interesting?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPPoSv3Rhm
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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcFILOkkmF
Talon grabs his chest in a dramatic manner resembling the melodrama I attempted in my alter ego. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qGHfwm7Jk
Talon: “You wound me good man, don’t worry If it’s one thing I’m good at it’s teleporting away.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnubXQ7veX
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY8FAGtJSr
I steel myself for the journey and take the right path, listening closely to see if Caecius is near.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgtZ3mkieM
A wind mage is too much trouble for me now, especially since he can suffocate me which is pretty high level. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3EL6BWd8U
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x2cWv7Pds
Moryuu: “I guess you want me to follow you.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvCSzVWA7G
I follow close behind the strange lantern until we find ourselves to what I imagine is the center of the pillar. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqDZo73g6T
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwNFQgdIUh
*Footsteps*1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQappUkHkB
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8HDK09rwp
Caecius: “I feel powerful energy here, perhaps it’s really here. Surely it must be fate if I’ve found it so quick.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q7JQ8S6UF
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AMsLlMSOy
I’ll find a way to get the jump on him, maybe there’s a way to scale the walls. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2U29yWUeM
Caecius: “Mmmm?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaol0D1yXp
I guess that makes too much noise, now what?1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXjx4lpGWU
Caecius: “I know someone is there, come out or I’m coming to you.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMqDwDTAMu
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfDKVkh6dN
Caecius: “So it’s you, the mysterious man. What do you want, come to fight?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmoGbpQwmL
Moryuu: “Not really, I’ve come looking for something.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNt8FqUxVU
Caecius: “Oh, and what would that be.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8j25u3hvQ
Moryuu: “Something that belongs to me.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24NsbwanE4
Caecius: “Depending on what that thing is, I might have to kill you.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwotWTifUx
Moryuu: “I expected as much.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1qfLCItqy
This is going smoother than I thought. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oWgE6R4rD
Moryuu: “!!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ54iT1lBgL
Is what I thought until he shot a blade of air near my face, leaving a cut. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjioCiPMxo
Caecius: “There’s something else I need to know from you, who are you, and what’s your purpose?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8bODwgmXU
Moryuu: “Is that all, do you want fries with that?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvv6tbwV8o
Caecius: “*Glare*”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz9yGG7wNJ
Moryuu: “I have no problem telling you the truth about this place, I wonder though if you’ll believe me.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxkLIDStJY
Caecius: “No harm in trying.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuFctXCWEc
Moryuu: “Fine, the first part of the info dump is the fact that this is not the afterlife.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx6hkQConC
Caecius: “!!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN0EKm6jnj
Caecius: “Explain.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dkxbg4qXp
Moryuu: “I don’t know if your world has something similar but what we’re standing on is actually a dead eldritch god.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnSmPV6Lv8
Caecius: “But….why and how are there dead people here?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZh7oBmQiy
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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ob9aXr9Lm
Caecius: “….”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtTd261C6K
Moryuu: “Don’t believe me huh?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn3AA5KhcR
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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8cGRvkHaE
Moryuu: “Yep, well, everyone except the Umbras for some reason.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0eF4ayQQZ
Caecius: “Impossible, this is too outrageous to believe!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI1ECUz9rG
Moryuu: “Have you ever wondered why shifts happen?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMgCG7EHSk
Caecius: “….”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kmt0WpXU3
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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDePXxclWe
Caecius: “Let’s say I believe you, why are you here instead of babysitting everyone else?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVz1itb7k9
Moryuu: “Because there’s an item of great power that can help me do my job.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2wEpVMy8p
Caecius: “….”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNgG9QmF8X
Caecius: “Sorry, I can’t risk believing you.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRqnIylJJO
He swipes his hands and shots a wide blade of air towards me and I narrowly dodge out of the way.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SQLTc9CE9
Moryuu: “I knew it, never trust a mage, especially one hellbent on bringing back the dead.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq8CcUSqbX
Caecius: “It can be done!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aCxKBJ1WB
Moryuu: “Maybe, but the dead should rest.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBN7KAjFAE
Caecius: “Silence!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsmEhJ8CBX
Caecius continually blasts out wave after wave of air blades but I dodge them all. Still, it’s hard to maneuver in this-1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrqqM3X188
Moryuu: “!!!!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS4aZDjYZR
I'm….suffocating!1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jBnnvmRA5
Caecius: “Enough of this game, I’ll kill you and get what I've come for.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBWNoU5pcU
I throw 3 daggers at him and he blocks it with air but it did break his spell. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGSnTSfxIm
Moryuu: “*Cough* *Cough*”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto64CoQMLQ
Moryuu: “I guess you need concentration for that huh?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNWabQCROt
Caecius: “I don’t need it to kill you.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivi2I5qJtm
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I2f2h57dk
Caecius: “It’s useless!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpzcoC9nyt
Moryuu: “Is it?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqbxhFKT3G
I close my eyes, breathe, and take out my tonfas. I jump down and slam into the ground causing a small crater. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU0azMy4FW
Caecius: “You’re going to fight me with melee weapons, fool.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMIhUisqJF
Caecius shots a dozen or so air blades at me but I stay still….and listen.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMshrZ5OKL
The slight movements in the air, the whirling sound of blades, and the split second before impact.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6jtSFFvfZ
My instincts flair up to prepare for the assault.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HGfihZr80

Caecius: “Wha, how!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PgObMR8oU
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPT9bKGrEk
Moryuu: “What’s wrong, I guess you’re not the best wind user out there.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTe38qXwGI
Caecius: “You!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ijc8axCo
I keep my eyes closed and anticipated the assault of air blades.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbrY1fNtiA
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXRbv9CP4d
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wT400643S
Caecius: “GAH!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zyGQt41zt
He’s sent flying into the wall, still-1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwxooGCKdy
Moryuu: “Tch.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCQ3WNolh2
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS1xUlDRTl
Caecius: “*Cough* *Cough*”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMjR2QNXXx
Caecius: “No more playing around, I’m going to…oh my god.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehYuagScDh
Moryuu: “What?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsNB80tdfA
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4KtM4Wcj2
Caecius: “The Eye….”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FRve2Kely
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX37jqblHUG
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww3MpX7487
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp5GggtiEj
Caecius: “At last, I’m closer to my goal. Wait for me….Nieth.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC73OPpiNd
Caecius: “It’s over Moryuu, now that I’m this close to my goal there’s no way I’m losing to you.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr3bwuhJqw
Moryuu: “Maybe before, but not now.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSIr2TnTIv
Caecius: “What’s that, a potion of some sort? That’s not going to help you here.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDJEy3Fgmx
Moryuu: “Well, allow me to surprise you.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirtPYoAUIY
[ Music Plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojL5Y5HvOlE ]1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiRoicb7UX
I down the entire flask and instantly, I can feel the power of lightning coursing through me again.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs5bzvXidj
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY82QbtUKaj
I’ve survived this before, I-I’ll....survive ...again!1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEllRJWTY7i
Soon enough, the pain subsides and the real power begins to form within. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxWlZsQqLd
My wounds heal and azure lightning strikes all around scorching the area around me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJMxhXd5hi
I float back down, my eyes shoot open to reveal a deep light blue color change and I push back my hair. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTXUqo2tB4
Moryuu: “Bow, you’re in the presence of a God.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkIB3yLykQ
Caecius: “Wha-What are you!?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Orh0SdsXK
I blitzed past him in the form of lightning and grab the eye before he could register what happened.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhA5U3KnHA
Moryuu: “The winner of this battle.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB72xQGpmgJ
He hurried to fling more air blades towards me but I block them all with a lightning shield. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY1yJXsQR6
Moryuu: “Normally I’d kill a mage like you but I have a mission to complete, give up.” 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTATsWJdjK7
Caecius: “I can’t….I need that eye….”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4h4XF1op7
Moryuu: “She’s dead, let her rest.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzqSRUrhg6
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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNussrcWLR
Moryuu: “I’ve lost loved ones too, but I would not disgrace their memory and name by dragging them back from the dead.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrYcPGGaDX
Caecius: “Tch….”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvVryzYwxo
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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNamtstjhH
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.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYbFCDDoPu
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht05F2y0Hj
Caecius: “No….No….I can’t lose her again!!!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9Q4fpObmV
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. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvE3VYVEAz
Caecius: “Die!!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7gpP5DS2x
He throws it at me, I know it won’t hurt me but….my killing instinct involuntary kicked in anyway.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFmYNQXnax
Moryuu: “You Fool!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSQfjcsMiy
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.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVxzmpcvqE
In the end, Caecius collapses on the ground charred black and….probably dead. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPHmmyO05e
