Marco didn't stood in guard, this was an experience that Alice needed to surpass, she would never forgive him if he killed the 15th Monster Lord, and he didn't know what would happen if she dies now, the more he adheres to the original story, the better it is...
La Croix: Yes! The previous Monster Lord, Alipheese the 15th! In the undead! I am the one and only master to create a zombie out of a Monster Lord! See, Chrome! See a masterpiece of the dark arts!
Alice: You!!! I will never forgive this!
Marco's chakra arm caught Alice before she could pounce at La Croix.
La Croix: Now then… I apologize for ruining the climax, but I must go. I was not yet ordered to dispose of you.
Marco: Pfft, like you could do it…
La Croix's eyebrow twitched, but she managed to be calm, then all the members of the Cirque du Croix vanished back into their coffin.
La Croix: I'll look forward to play with your corpse…
Marco: You are not my type, get away, damn necrophiliac.
La Croix: Fuck off…
Then the coffin vanished and La Croix stomped to the exit.
Alice: I'm going to kill her! Disgracing my mother's corpse…!
Marco: I know… I would have gone all out if my mother was a zombie… And don't worry, later we will have a perfect opportunity to put her coffin up to her ass.
Alice: ...Yes..
She managed to calm down, but Chrome…
Chrome: Sister… My fault… She became crazy because of that…
Marco: "That"...
Chrome: It was a long time ago… Back when we were still happy together. I made a stupid mistake in an experiment, and caused an explosion. My sister protected me, and became seriously injured as a result. Ever since then, she started acting really odd… Probably because she was disgusted with me.
Alice: No matter the circumstances, we cannot leave her alone. Just how much energy is needed to maintain those zombies? We have to destroy them all, there could be thousands of victims…
Marco: Whatever, let's go to pick Gn-Sylph now…
He almost let slip out Gnome, but fortunately no one caught it. Then they left the mansion and hopped on Diane's back.
Alice: Marco… Why you didn't try to kill the Cirque du Croix?
Marco: Would you like to let me kill your mother?
Alice: ...No.
Marco: Exactly, and then we need Chrome's cooperation, it's everything part of my plan for the victory…
Alice: ...Alright, I'll trust you… Diane, go to the Forest of Spirits.
Diane: Kweh!
Then she flew at north, in a few minutes, she reached the place and landed nearby, letting Marco and Alice hop off, just like before the Forest of Spirits held the same strange atmosphere.
Marco and Alice felt something getting nearby, Marco just held the hilt of his sheathed katana, before letting go when an elf came out of the forest.
Elf: Ah… You two! This is bad, there's an angel in the fore-Kya!
She took another step forward and fell in a hole, then two fairies came out from their hiding places, they were twins, brown long hair, pink dress, and two pair of insect wings while they held two flowers.
Fairy Twin 1: Extra deep pitfall!
Fairy Twin 2: We beat the angel!
Fairy Twin 1: Fill it with water!
Fairy Twin 2: Throw in mud!
Elf: Kyaaaa!!
Meanwhile Marco had an amused smile the entire time, the fairies threw stuff in the hole, and when they stopped, the elf came out.
Fairy Twin 1: ...Ehhhh? Big Elfy?
Fairy Twin 2: What are you doing down there…?
Marco: Pffft, hahahahahaha!
Meanwhile, the elf was pursuing the fairies while Marco had a laugh at them.
Alice: ...Oi…
Marco: Hah… Wait some seconds… God that was funny! Alright, I'm ok, let's go.
Then Marco and Alice warily creeped deeper into the forest…
[Later]
Marco sniffed a strange good smell, and his eyes narrowed before he goes in Chakra Gate.
Alice: A delicious smell…
Alice's face was happy from sniffing this smell, and released a bit of drool.
Marco: Alice, it's a fucking trap…
Alice: I know that. Don't look down on me.
Even though she was saying that, saliva came out from the corner of her mouth.
Alice: Hmm? What is that fruit?
Marco turned around, and saw a huge mysterious fruit hanging off a giant branch on a big tree.
Alice: Yaay! It looks delicious!
Marco: If you try to eat it, I will never cook for you.
*Ding*
*Special Quest: Don't cook for Alice in case she eats Power Berryelle.*
Alice, who had the thought to jump on the fruit, froze on her place, if Marco meant something, it will happen, if he would never cook then Alice would be in ruin…
Marco used Kurama Gate and hastily unsheathed Magnus, cutting the fruit in two with Flash Kill.
*Ding*
*28/???*
*7500 pt.*
*27000 pt.*
Alice: It was an angel!?
Marco: Yup, a Power…
*Ding*
*Special Quest[Failed]: Don't cook for Alice in case she eats Power Berryelle.*
Alice lost her appetite when she realized that it was an angel, and it slowly vanished in particles.
Marco: Now you understand why I told you to not eat it.
Alice: ...Yeah…
Suddenly, a soft light appears from the sky, and another angel descended from the Heavens.
This one was a big one, she had black long hair and long finger, her womb is really large, as if pregnant with 4 twins, under her womb, there were countless small sharp limbs surrounded by larger ones.
Under those limbs, there were giant egg-like body-parts and under that there was something similar to pubic hairs. At her back there were many pairs of butterfly wings, and on top of her head there was a halo that was holding in three others, like a key ring.
Revel: I am Virtue Revel, the angel in charge of reincarnation. Sinner Mar… co… I see that you are already reincarnated one time…
Alice and Marco's eyes widened, and Marco quickly unsheathed his katana.
Marco: You will not get out from here alive.
*Ding*
*Special Quest: Kill Virtue Revel.*
Then, still with Kurama Gate, he jumped at Revel and used Heavenly Demon Revival, slamming his katana at full strength on her, Revel tried to block his attack, but all of her sharp limbs that she used to block were cut down.
Marco used a chakra arm to hold on Revel, before he charged a bijuudama with his free hand and slammed it onto her, the explosion was big, and Revel's upper body was completely erased. Showing his real strength if he takes things seriously.
*Ding*
*29/???*
*10000 pt.*
*37000 pt.*
*Ding*
*4601/??? saved*
*Special Quest[Successful]: Kill Virtue Revel.*
Then she vanished into particles of light. If she would say anything about him being reincarnated in front of Illias, things will really go in the deep shit and he will be immediately brainwashed for his knowledge.
Marco: Alright, two are out… Now let's go find Gnome…
Alice: ...Gnome?
Marco: 'Oh shit…' Well, it would be an idiocy putting the spirits on their main biome, where they could recover their energy, and I saw that Promestein already created substitutes.
Alice: ...You are right… Let's hurry up, Gnome may be in danger.
Marco nodded and deactivated the Kurama Gate before rushing off with Alice beside him.
