Chapter Title: For Elise
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Screw the temple and all that bullshit—Elise bolted like a bat out of hell.
I was right there with her. Lina hauled ass too. The second we stopped, it wasn't runner's high... it was runner's dead. If we'd entered a marathon right then, no bullshit, the three of us would've swept joint first with speeds straight out of legend.
"Fuck! Fuck! Elise, what the fuck is that thing!!!"
"I-I don't know! Evil giant! It's an evil giant!"
"Kyaaaaaaaak!!!! Oppa, come with meeeee!!!"
💥 SCREAMS 💥 —Queeeek!!!! —Caaaaaak!!! —Puk! Puk! Unreal shrieks and meat-splattering sounds erupted from behind. What the hell was going on back there? I was dying to know what tragedy had hit those commie cultist fuckers!
"Fuck!"
There's that legend where looking back turns you to stone.
Sounds stupid as shit—why the hell would anyone look back and petrify?—but when it's real, you can't not turn around!
I whipped around in a frenzy!
💥 ROAR 💥 —Bwoooooooo!!! It was like a myth come to life.
💥 SCREAMS 💥 —Queeeek!!! —Kkaaaack!!!! A three-meter super-macho giant with skin white as snow had its mouth split four ways wide, ripping heretics and ghouls apart with its massively swollen muscles! Severed limbs and heads—bones and all—flew skyward, spraying blood. That place was no longer reality!
Giant!
Evil Giant!
Hyper Ghoul!
Like a descended evil god, the thing flexed otherworldly strength, butchering every last bastard inside! Puk! Puk! Puk! Puk! Puk! Puk! Puk! One poor priest in its grasp took a solid ten mythic gut punches before vomiting up his pulped organs!
"Aaaah! Too gruesome! I can't believe it!"
Fast as fuck too—it brooked no runners. It hurled the mashed priest into a ghoul, smashing it, then snagged fleeing legs and swung 'em like clubs.
If we'd been a hair slower, we'd be rolling around limbless! Pure terror! The urge to stop! Courage spiked like a spear to my skull!
Despair!
"Saint! Don't look back!"
"Eliiiise!!!! I'm so scaaaaared!!!"
Terror froze me solid!
Then Elise thrust out her hand.
"My hand! Grab my hand!"
"Uwaaaaaah!!!"
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡ Divine Friend Ally buff: Fear resistance / Speed boost
"Calm down! Di-Divine!"
"Fr-Friend! Thanks, Elise!"
"Believe in Divine Friend!"
I clutched Divine Friend's hand and bolted. The instant those commie fuckers croaked, that giant'd chase us. Please, buddies... hold out just a bit longer...!
"One Family Annihilation TechaAAAAA!!!"
In my spinning head, I forced rational thought. That sigil in the giant's chest? Heretic symbol we'd seen a ton. Y'know, the one with Elise all the time.
So the giant was their buddy—why the fuck rampage and slaughter 'em all? Beefed out? Or we wrecked their ritual, spell fizzled, control snapped?
"Kyaaaaak!!!"
Lina glanced back and shrieked.
She still clutched the trophy, glowing purple.
Nice grab in the chaos!
"L-Lina! The trophy!"
"Too heavy! Can I ditch it?!!"
"No way! Drop it and you're dead! Clutch it!"
"So meeeeean!!!"
No fucking way!
This trophy the culprit?!
Too bad—truth could wait. Escape alive first, then mull it over sucking Winia and Cloude's tits leisurely! Have 'em tag-team my dick too!
Anyway, snag trophy and run!
"Extremely evil aura! Saint! They probably sacrificed Eternal Life cultists or similar to birth that giant!" Elise panted mid-sprint.
Solid logic!
"Yeah?! Looks like they summoned an otherworld beast to me!! Nothing like that's real! Demon! It's a demon! Giant the White Muscle Demon!"
"Giant the White Muscle Demon! Name so vile it chills the soul! If only Sis were here...!"
Calming, I released Elise's hand. Corridor ended—we hit the ghoul hag judgment spot.
💥 THUDS & ROAR 💥 —Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! —Bwoooooooo!!!!!!! The ground quaked with roars crashing in!
"Fuck!"
Heretics all croaked already?!
"Hurry! Faster!"
"Speeding up!"
"Kyaaaaaaaak!!!"
"Lina, grip that trophy!"
Heading up to underground level 1—boom! Giant loomed behind! "Fuck, we're fucked!!!" We lost it, flinging doors and storming stairs!
Luckily, passages tiny vs. its bulk—crouching slowed it! Sparkly-eyed beast, four-way maw tongue-lashing, shambling grotesque? Pure nightmare fuel!
But fine! That pace? Easy escape!
Outside? We're golden!
"Uwooooooo! Divine poooower!!!"
Legs dying on stairs, but razor-sharp senses maxed mana flow, rationed stamina—we hit level 1. Caught Lina's near-trip too!
"Underground 1! One floor left!"
Scouting path—Elise yelled.
"Saint, those oil jars over there!"
"Oil jars!"
Jars we'd clocked earlier, oil-filled, scattered everywhere. Torch fuel... oh shit!
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡ Blood Heaven Asura Kick Shatter jars / Ignite prep
Blasted 'em with kicks!
No words needed!
"Elise!"
✨ LIGHT BOLT ✨ —Pshooong! Light orb hit spilled oil—whoosh! Flames erupted! Perfect! Torch the place, slow the foe! Elise gets it!
"Fire Escape! Liquor of the Flame Orb!"
🔥 FLAMES ROAR 🔥 —Whoosh! "Flames ain't playing!"
"Saint! More jars left!"
"Fuck—smash 'em all!"
Channeled full inner energy, unleashed Heavenly Demon Divine Art. Surging mana! Survival will! Courage reignited! Charge! Leap! Tenacity kick incoming!
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡ Magnum Kick Shatter / Oil spill
💥 CRACK! 💥 —Crack! Magnum Kick smashed another. Lina toppled one nearby; Elise busted one more. Floor flooded with oil!
💥 THUDS 💥 —Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! "N-Now bolt! Fucker incoming!"
Elise fired two more Light Bolts—underground 1 became an inferno! Billowing black smoke! Hit ground floor before it!
"Ngh! Hold breath!"
—Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!! Smoke closing in.
We hauled to the surface!
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡ Kim Katt Uppercut Door destruction / Escape
💥 KWANG! 💥 —Kwaaang! Good I'd wrecked the hinges inbound! Full-power uppercut blasted the sealed door—we spilled outside!
"Out now! Smoke's coming!"
All three clear—black smoke geysered after us like a demon! Perfect! Inferno + smog! Even Giant the White Muscle Demon's gotta be barbecued or smoked by now!
Our win!
"Elise, move! Go!"
"Wait! If it breaks out, disaster! Too many folks around! They can't handle it!"
Who gives a shit!
But her eyes burned resolute.
"—Fine. We end it clean, Elise!"
"Knew it! Faith and friendship conquer all trials!"
"Hell yeah! Lina—no running! That's your granny's killer!"
"Uh, uh... o-okay!"
💥 ROAR 💥 —Bwoooooooo oooooo!!!!!!!!! Sudden earth-shatter roar. Giant breaking free?! No confidence... but!
Winning odds!
Fire damage wrecks!
Wrecked in tight space by blaze 'n' smoke? Ours!
"Urk! Smoke! Elise—out first! Can't fight shit like this!"
"Right!"
Fire smoke lethal. Booked it outside. Level 1 torched—massive blaze, smoke pillar.
—F-Fire!
—Inferno!
—Ruuun!!
Slum rats and homeless panicked, scattering. Stars dimmed against the earthly pyre. —Bwooooo!!! Still kicking! Roared again!
"D-Damn it, God!"
"Light descends—may holy flames purge the wicked..."
I invoked God; Elise clutched her mace trembling, chanting prayer. Demon dwarfed Flesh Golem—natural terror! Talk big, still scary.
"Lina. Drop the trophy."
Frozen hug? Nape-grabbed her.
"Y-Yes?"
"Guard it. Snap to."
She set it down.
Feared drop-panic.
Building blazed. Nothing nearby—no spread. Lone heretic pyre. Giant escape?
We waited at the door.
Trophy glowed amethyst.
💥 CRACKLE 💥 —Crack! "Saint!"
"Yeah!"
Flames ebbed; charred giant crawled from ruins, feeble. —Bwoo... No godlike power left.
Roasted weakling!
Fire escape drained it!
Sight ignited heart-flame. Yeah—my weak-despise.
🔥 WEAK DESPISE ON 🔥 Damage to weakened foes +200%
Victory sense tingled.
"Eliiiiseeeee!!!!!!!"
"Saiiiiint!!!!!!!!!!"
Both launched. Victory vibe nuked fear—we went full zealot. Victory: ultimate high! —Bwooo... Giant feebly swiped.
Too slow. Attack? Trash!
Punk bitch fronting?!
"Justice... executed!"
"Wicked one! Repent before Order God's scourge!"
How to chef this turd? Grinning, we hit its front—cackling cool lines, weapons high. Giant? Nada!
Mana surged inward. scorching flow wrapped body, funneled to arms/hands.
My ace strike.
Thread Sword Arts.
First Secret Ultimate!
⚡ ULTIMATE ACTIVATED ⚡ Thread Slash!!! Max power cleave
💥 SLASH! 💥 —Whish! —Craaack! Blade buried in skull with explosive speed/power!
💥 ROAR 💥 —B-Bwooo!!!! "No fuck!"
No melon-burst! Ultimate Thread Slash? Just embedded!
God-tier tankiness!
"Elise! Pound it!"
"Gotcha!"
💥 BURST DPS 💥 —Puk! Thuk! Thuk! —Crack! Thuk! Puk! Zealot Elise went primal ape, mace-hammering skull. I flanked, stabbing neck.
"Burst time, fuckface!"
💥 GROAN 💥 —Bwooo...!! Mad echoes filled quiet slums.
Endless skull DPS.
"Behold Order God's fury!"
💥 SMASHES 💥 —Puk! Puk! —Puk! Puk! Mouth sealed? Still blissfully hammering—eternal beatdown, handles be damned.
Ahh. Glory to Order God.
Ahh, hail Buddha.
Our victory.
