Hovering in the air, Seculina sucked on her thumb, pissed beyond belief at what was happening before her eyes. She remained angry, confused even, at where everything went wrong...
At first, everything was going as it should be:
People screaming as they were chewed into bits, limbs and guts flying in the air as the Shadow Knights dismembered everything in their path. But her favourite was the despair people gave out when they were confronted with the inevitable:
DEATH
But it all changed when the slot and the robot-man walked in, healing and shooting everything on sight. Heck, the whore even managed to conjure vines from the ground...
CONJURED FROM THE GROUND!!!
I mean, they ain't even from this city. Heck, their aura suggests that they aren't even from this world! I know I should relay this information to big sis, but I mean,
Look at that succulent young man below
Schlwip...
"I do have to admit, Natsuki's visage sure does make him a chick magnet, considering that our residential tsundere/kuudere seems to have slight feelings for him, considering the fact that she takes a long time to trust someone..."
"Mhmm, yeah, he's sure does sound delic– I mean, interesting– what the fuck, WHO ARE YOU!!!???"
It was only then that Seculina snapped out of her hunger stupor, realising that someone was, astonishingly, floating in the air right beside her. Immediately retreating, she grew all defensive, releasing her infamous ''Dreams of Beguilement', the spell that made her famous 1000 years ago when she walked alongside her lover.
But even that had no effect, for standing before her was none other than Knoxis Fyldwell
With a gentle push from his hand, he blasted Seculina far into the sky. Blood flowing down her mouth, Seculina wiped it off with her hands, smirking. "That's all you got you old coot!?" Wings bigger than before, she began slowly approaching Knoxis, with no visible wounds on the outside.
Inside though, was another story
Though most of her internal organs dissipated long ago, she still had a core right where her heart used to be.
And it had cracks all over its body...
Grimacing in pain, Seculina realised that if she did not scare off the old fart, she might not live past today. Even the Shadow Energy that constituted most of her body seemed to be vanishing after what he did, and that was not good...
Not since the power of the Shadow Monarch was still sealed inside the sacred mountain of Hymals
Tch, seems that I must escape! Doesn't matter if they die down there, we can still get their souls back. Sure, big sis will be very mad, but hey, beggars can't be choosers, plus his powers seem to be the very antithesis of mine, no...
Ours
"Well, well, well, old man. Luckily for you, I don't attack the elderly, so why don't we call it quits and let's call it a day, huh–"
"Oh you're right in that the young shouldn't beat up the elderly, but it's also true that the elderly should cane the younger ones to teach them to behave, isn't that right?"
Eyes twinkling, Knoxis gave a mischievous grin, and Seculina swore that she could hear gears from inside him, much to her horror...
What the fuck, I thought all machines were destroyed!?
And with a blinding light, both disappeared...
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Feeling a sudden surge of heat, Natsuki looked up, confused where the sexy– I mean beaut– I mean, oh who cares, the evil woman went. And for a brief moment, Natsuki swore that he saw the old man floating in the air beside the Succubus, hands behind his back.
Damn, did they give me LSD!?
Believing that he must've been imagining things due to the war, Natsuki continued saving as many people as he could, dragging the wounded to the back...
All the while two more words could be seen etching themselves onto the green gear in the centre of his consciousness
