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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0KVWFrKNG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXi3I14SRp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYHkyigBi8
???: “Watch out!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qFZm8m69o
Moryuu: “What the-”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU67rJuMc7r
I instinctively moved out of the way of the falling object which seems to be who I’ve been waiting for.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDeGQx3376
Moryuu: “About time you showed up.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uGss8U0iD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFvzz2bhMY
???: “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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BgGW3UZLQ
Moryuu: “….Yeah.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ppnQG4fmm
???: “Well, don’t worry I’m sure her next self will be just as interesting.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikdx6u7856
Moryuu: “Maybe, anyway now that you’re here Talon, what’s the plan?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmL3tuM8fk
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3FQP8NDHD
Moryuu: “Thanks.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsxEQTaNqR
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryfLl8exb5
Moryuu: “Alright, I’ll try. What about you?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2aZRDimuT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOSCDevXqz
Moryuu: “Right, after that maybe you can help the rest of those alive.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoHC7v9efZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJgroxecQK
Moryuu: “Let’s hurry, we don’t have much time.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpAeQfQ4cn
Talon: “Never time for a joke to lighten the mood I guess.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAYUTKHjdq
Talon raises his hands and a yellow portal appears beside me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrFSHKq0DE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YDSkBWQSw
I guess my powers are in the pillar Caecius was heading towards... terrific. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3t3SEnfh1
Moryuu: “You too, don’t mess with the Umbra Lord Gideon.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS9a3bp27h
Talon: “You find him interesting?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA7xUoWbVP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r6WBdcwwv
Talon grabs his chest in a dramatic manner resembling the melodrama I attempted in my alter ego. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZyg1MJskc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScmdH8UVWT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAbRjOrKwC
I steel myself for the journey and take the right path, listening closely to see if Caecius is near.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDzbi9Q5xc
A wind mage is too much trouble for me now, especially since he can suffocate me which is pretty high level. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0rVIJcpwm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfLVgxDfyN
Moryuu: “I guess you want me to follow you.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JPRbuJCyM
I follow close behind the strange lantern until we find ourselves to what I imagine is the center of the pillar. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf0kCxOUe6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Nz34wLkG
*Footsteps*1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNksUHOuXVo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx8qnPweIM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Klhx1ANbz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LiY9wWjbj
I’ll find a way to get the jump on him, maybe there’s a way to scale the walls. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60BnTUbX1i
Caecius: “Mmmm?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHbsulo97d
I guess that makes too much noise, now what?1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ242AhWxfDi
Caecius: “I know someone is there, come out or I’m coming to you.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe62vyUndX3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX45DVUnQ0o
Caecius: “So it’s you, the mysterious man. What do you want, come to fight?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2eG8oey0i
Moryuu: “Not really, I’ve come looking for something.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCU6FdR2JR
Caecius: “Oh, and what would that be.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH46eOoOg1
Moryuu: “Something that belongs to me.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYdV8jrxcR
Caecius: “Depending on what that thing is, I might have to kill you.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UEndvIO8X
Moryuu: “I expected as much.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnmUnz1lkO
This is going smoother than I thought. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHqVsK306k
Moryuu: “!!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4LxkZFT1e
Is what I thought until he shot a blade of air near my face, leaving a cut. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dfZ2qsEIG
Caecius: “There’s something else I need to know from you, who are you, and what’s your purpose?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokK6b2EgF1
Moryuu: “Is that all, do you want fries with that?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEg0cq8UIe
Caecius: “*Glare*”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS5mV9kCPl
Moryuu: “I have no problem telling you the truth about this place, I wonder though if you’ll believe me.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGA7VldvJc
Caecius: “No harm in trying.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELH7nHF0Oh
Moryuu: “Fine, the first part of the info dump is the fact that this is not the afterlife.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpqS4HK19O
Caecius: “!!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeqscSz9FB
Caecius: “Explain.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7speM9QVT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgZXSDNuCh
Caecius: “But….why and how are there dead people here?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ogt28yK0n
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tkrIKDl3X
Caecius: “….”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLojAQr4lhe
Moryuu: “Don’t believe me huh?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIQVknPN72
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJyzvJ1KLV
Moryuu: “Yep, well, everyone except the Umbras for some reason.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr5JDUDCi6
Caecius: “Impossible, this is too outrageous to believe!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFXiKa3cdg
Moryuu: “Have you ever wondered why shifts happen?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcw6Iqtv8Y
Caecius: “….”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaevnxkOEwB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5vRe45coe
Caecius: “Let’s say I believe you, why are you here instead of babysitting everyone else?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9CBkGf1ex
Moryuu: “Because there’s an item of great power that can help me do my job.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpThqRyQYsj
Caecius: “….”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKTQ096jhm
Caecius: “Sorry, I can’t risk believing you.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3R99n0wOG
He swipes his hands and shots a wide blade of air towards me and I narrowly dodge out of the way.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOzty6tFiJ
Moryuu: “I knew it, never trust a mage, especially one hellbent on bringing back the dead.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUXf99QI1r
Caecius: “It can be done!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CGRKlrrHB
Moryuu: “Maybe, but the dead should rest.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1wnhjMlf7
Caecius: “Silence!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIM595ckzf
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsKZ9jYvX1
Moryuu: “!!!!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrahFWROJk
I'm….suffocating!1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7UlAqov9r
Caecius: “Enough of this game, I’ll kill you and get what I've come for.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCYNRSuK7C
I throw 3 daggers at him and he blocks it with air but it did break his spell. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv4qJgpQNp
Moryuu: “*Cough* *Cough*”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMW8iBuKiQ
Moryuu: “I guess you need concentration for that huh?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dztjksQoM
Caecius: “I don’t need it to kill you.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIicyLziSF
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa5HrKc3kg
Caecius: “It’s useless!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVoZwXYpYy
Moryuu: “Is it?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSaQLKj3L3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIxvPjj9Hq
Caecius: “You’re going to fight me with melee weapons, fool.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqxgoQaadu
Caecius shots a dozen or so air blades at me but I stay still….and listen.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X2TsX22g4
The slight movements in the air, the whirling sound of blades, and the split second before impact.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4FRax57xm
My instincts flair up to prepare for the assault.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y871PLRaK

*Slash*1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8LTxvXCKX
Caecius: “Wha, how!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgSm7N8Lig
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZvTkWVV54
Moryuu: “What’s wrong, I guess you’re not the best wind user out there.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQWsqYHi2M
Caecius: “You!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5A5Tp35C7
I keep my eyes closed and anticipated the assault of air blades.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGJnVMdeTl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSk3jxMLT5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyQJpTXRLb
Caecius: “GAH!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZFpvWnc88
He’s sent flying into the wall, still-1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6PpgD1Brw
Moryuu: “Tch.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX2y9a6baM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY60a1xF4z
Caecius: “*Cough* *Cough*”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCWMdOC81Q
Caecius: “No more playing around, I’m going to…oh my god.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZPYaX5Vjz
Moryuu: “What?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2mGIamTQH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbpJjplUiO
Caecius: “The Eye….”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aqOOLsZB5
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42buriiAvz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LuxAPSm8r
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcXp9yva53
Caecius: “At last, I’m closer to my goal. Wait for me….Nieth.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFLZ0uNlI6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaWseidYYC
Moryuu: “Maybe before, but not now.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAfnxYgLgl
Caecius: “What’s that, a potion of some sort? That’s not going to help you here.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlCcZQyPu4
Moryuu: “Well, allow me to surprise you.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78KSuT8KvT
[ Music Plays: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojL5Y5HvOlE ]1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2XsSeCGdi
I down the entire flask and instantly, I can feel the power of lightning coursing through me again.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj5IaTWJgI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4FlbP0k5g
I’ve survived this before, I-I’ll....survive ...again!1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAL9xZTaUr
Soon enough, the pain subsides and the real power begins to form within. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZTirWqtQK
My wounds heal and azure lightning strikes all around scorching the area around me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa63RUiPlcy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZARhR5XvB
Moryuu: “Bow, you’re in the presence of a God.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGoEQuC9Tl
Caecius: “Wha-What are you!?”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGL5rpeH6t
I blitzed past him in the form of lightning and grab the eye before he could register what happened.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1qn54GlQZ
Moryuu: “The winner of this battle.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vjfl7mVO4
He hurried to fling more air blades towards me but I block them all with a lightning shield. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zkk9XsWmH
Moryuu: “Normally I’d kill a mage like you but I have a mission to complete, give up.” 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB4VBghuAN
Caecius: “I can’t….I need that eye….”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42WVrbYsvC
Moryuu: “She’s dead, let her rest.”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnVdYrNCwu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9cseGnSxa
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbCO9gQwnv
Caecius: “Tch….”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkhVObQKnU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPE2xbzfjD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMNwDOOvDE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD8j9zfDs4
Caecius: “No….No….I can’t lose her again!!!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvvClwnN63
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzH4lTJ4sI
Caecius: “Die!!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwTUYiyqJ0
He throws it at me, I know it won’t hurt me but….my killing instinct involuntary kicked in anyway.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lgNawgYmo
Moryuu: “You Fool!”1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OecYHGsfv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSM2pr15or
In the end, Caecius collapses on the ground charred black and….probably dead. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTq8Yw65zT
