Reiji is sitting there against the tree staring upwards. Lilith reforms herself looking drenched in spider guts.
"You know your going to clean the gauntlets...right?"
reiji snaps "Lilith do you not understand? I have to get stronger. the best way is this dungeon. I get better every time I kill the monsters, and that was just the first area.
Why that creature?"
Lilith hits reiji upside the head.
" there's no reason to freak out. you have to keep calm don't you understand during that whole fight you did nothing, but let your mind wander. You can still fight just use my ability."
reiji sighs now he's being admonished by a weapon. " What ability might I ask?"
he says looking up at her. she smiles at him
" I have the ability called [Death mark]. it allows me to place a mark on an enemies body once placed, and that spot is hit again it starts a countdown. when the countdown ends. the opponent will start to drastically lose power, and they will become prone to massive damage. if I then place a second mark the countdown will kill them. placing two marks is all I can do a day so it is best to use them separately. I have other abilities but they are currently locked. you didn't need any of them before but."
Reiji smiles "Hahahahahaha that ability sounds fantastic!!! so tommorow we will try again. any other limits you need to tell me about?"
"Yes it does not work on other living weapons. in fights like those only hosts make the difference. along with what kind of contract was forged."
reiji slowly stands then hugs Lilith.
"Thank you Lilith for choosing me. with your help I think I could fet Rosalie back."
Lilith blushes then transforms back into gauntlets.
Reiji goes around collecting twigs and rocks to set up a campfire. tow sets if red eyes watch him from the darkness.
[???] No matter what you do you won't save her. hehehehe I look forward to finishing you off. Reiji hashimiya from earth. Since I'm here here's a present for your hard work."
A heart drops into the ground sprouting tentacles. they tentacles dig into the ground, and the heart starts pulsing.
[Heart of the dread beast kanon]
1 star artifact
summons the vengeful beast once more by absorbing the bodies of nearby dead monsters.
The eyes fade at the sound of a crackle from the fire. a rotten smell fills the air and a mist forms. The fog surrounds the small campfire, but does not draw close to it. Reiji is laying against a tree sleeping now. then a bolt goes through his senses. the feeling of danger has permeated the area. he can see partially through the fog.
pa shape moves around him in a circle. hard to make it out it seems like a mass of wriggling worms.
It runs through reijis small camp. reiji stands using his white empowers fist to try and attack it. he gets knocked back against the tree. he spits up a little blood. smiling reiji calls Lilith.
"Lilith time to show your ability." Lilith turns to her gauntlet form. the monster rushes through again this time when reiji strikes it. he mutters [Death mark] a giant tattoo appears on the wriggling beast it looks like a skull. a count down appears over it five minutes. Reiji realizes he needs another idea.
The creature rushes again. reiji jumps up using white emperors fist kicking up dust around the area hitting the enemy several times. the mist starts to slowly dissipate due to the rush of air. reiji jumps to a tree climbing it sitting on a branch. one minute 30 seconds left. he looks around spotting the beast from above he starts checking its status.
