PHASE 8 - I’VE WATCHED ENOUGH HENTAI TO SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING

The humidity of the wind became lighter as soon as I was rescued by the annoying blonde runt in front of me. Analyzing the energy of the blades attached to her revolvers, I can conclude that she cast to convert her guns into gunblades.

“Don't be so impressed, Alaric.” Jeanne winked. “You have yet to see my full power.”

I spun my blade and readied my centered sword stance. “Then show me what you got, kitten.”

“I’m not a kitten!” Jeanne scolded. Then she shifted to a serious gaze as we both looked at the enemy shadow.

Evil Eliseo didn’t want my teasing conversation with Jeanne to last. He immediately bolted forward, zigzagging beside the cages of this underground prison.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Multiple gunshots echoed. Jeanne is mercilessly and carelessly shooting wild bullets that are sure to miss. The enemy’s speed is commendable, but I think even a snail can dodge a bullet from her.

“I really can’t use guns after all!” Jeanne hissed.

Suddenly, Evil Eliseo strikes again with a ! The surging cone hurricane is now targeting Jeanne!

“Watch out!” I shouted as I went in front of her. “!!!”

I stabbed my sword on the ground, and a hologram dragon shell spawned in front of me to block the attack! The sound of a shattering glass repeated as my defense has been breached, but I have completely repelled Eliseo’s .

“Gah… Hah…” I was put to the ground on all fours. Using is a bad idea for me because I haven’t mastered that spell yet. Now my head feels dizzy and my vision is blurry. I can’t handle the after effects, unlike Tiara who always uses that spell.

“Alaric, are you okay!?” Jeanne’s tone indicates that she’s worried.

“Of course I’m not, idiot,” I muttered. “I won’t be able to fight for a while. Let me regain my energy first. For now, you have to buy some time.”

“I don’t need to buy some time.” Jeanne chinned up with an overflowing boastful smile. “I’ll finish him myself.”

Jeanne spread out her gunblades from her hands as she put her right foot back and left foot forward, centering the balance on her body. Her cross-sigils glowed; making it clear that she’ll be fighting all-out.

“!!!” Evil Eliseo coated himself with green electricity, and then he surged forward to prepare another attack! “!!!”

Fifteen meters, ten meters, five meters. The distance closes in.

Two meters and Jeanne takes action.

“!!!”

The blonde girl clapped the revolvers together, and there was a blinding flash of golden light. Everything became bright, and there was no visible thing in existence.

One meter. Zero meters.

A piercing wind echoes.

Evil Eliseo’s hit nothing but the wind.

“What the-”

When the light faded, Jeanne was nowhere to be found. Evil Eliseo looked around, from left to right. But the little girl is nowhere to be found.

“Right here!!!”

Evil Eliseo looked upward, and that’s where Jeanne is! But it’s now too late, for the reason that swift gunblades have slashed his left and right shoulder. Two arms from the enemy fell down, and black blood oozed from the ground.

“!!!”

Blinding slashes, swift kicks, and fast stabs were made as the beautiful blonde runt danced like a ballerina. Each of those strikes is swift, but not deadly. It managed to slice Eliseo’s right cheek, left breast, abdomen, and legs, cutting all pressure points and severing tendons and muscles all over his body. Each of those wounds he sustained produced black blood that kept getting out like a river.

“Hah!” Jeanne made a powerful straight kick to the abs as a finishing attack. Evil Eliseo crashed on the wall, making a shallow crater. Upon impact, the enemy remained stuck on the wall. His head hung, signaling the end of life for him.

“That was an easy fight!” Jeanne turned around like an idol and made a peace sign at me.

As I saw her battle, one thing is very clear to me. This Jeanne is a lot more brutal than Amy.

But the battle is not over.

I had my active. I focused my blurry vision on that corpse that looked like my gay friend and noticed a buggy smoke. My vision is giving me glitches that can be seen on some computer errors, and I don’t know if it’s due to my dizziness in casting a prana-expensive spell a while ago.

Meanwhile, Jeanne is carelessly walking towards me as she hums a song on her mind. When I focused my on her, I saw her crying while being restrained by some sort of tentacles.

“Jeanne, get out of there!” I shouted.

“Wha-!!!”

Evil Eliseo’s corpse exploded, and it burst out neverending streams of wriggling roots. The whole prison floor has been covered by these brown vines that constricted all living things in here; Jeanne, me, Erylle, and even those helpless caged prisoners.

“E-Eeeek! Don’t touch me! Disgusting!” Jeanne tried to struggle, but her hands and feet were completely restrained by the plant tendrils.

“K-Kyah! T-T-Tentacles! S-Stop! I’m afraid of tentacles!” Erylle panicked as the vines climbed on her legs and her shoulders. She seemed ticklish, but she’s still focused enough to maintain the two .

“Help! Help! Help me! Let me go!” Most prisoners cried, especially the girls. The perverted vines started to squeeze some of their parts that I can’t mention.

Well, I’ve watched enough hentai to see where this is all going.

I won’t be able to enjoy this beautiful scene because I’m going to become the victim too. The vines have completely sealed my arms and legs, and it’s sucking all my prana away. Hey, at least it’s not sucking my other stuff.

Being out of prana combined with the carousel-like movements of the vines, it would be natural that I’ll get more dizzy. I’m trying desperately not to throw up.

“Hahaha! I can never be defeated!” A witch-like shout echoes.

The ground opened and a gigantic snake-like creature emerged. It has the upper half body of a beautiful lady with big boobs and long hair, except that his skin complexion is poisonous violet and her hair is made out of roots. Her hands have these sharp nails that can cut a sword-like butter. She has the eyes of the viper and the fangs of a cobra. She also has this skirt that looks like a gigantic rafflesia that emits foul odors.

This monster… is similar to those of a Level 4 Eidolon… The same power as Shirayuki…

“I am the Eidolon of Lust, the guardian of the Underworld Prison! Nothing can defeat me as long as I am in this dimension!” The monster roared.

The vine tentacles raised me towards the snake-like monster. I’m just a few inches away from her face, yet I can’t do anything. With my limbs sealed and my prana almost depleted, I can only stare at the Eidolon of Lust with my blurry eyes.

“How dare a mortal like you venture the prison of the underworld!” The snake shouted. “I’ll make you regret your decision by giving you death!”

The snake woman opened her mouth unbelievably wide until a car can be a perfect fit for it. And then in an instant, the tentacles tossed me to that jaw, swallowing me whole.

“W-Whoooooooaaaaaa!!!” I cried as I fell through the esophagus of the snake lady.

“Alaric!!!” Erylle and Jeanne shouted in awe.

That’s the last thing I heard before succumbing to the endless pit of darkness.
