"That means all this is for nothing the prophecy can't come to pass."
"Sorry reiji if that's the case. I'll have to kill you then redo the summoning."
Reiji is shot back into the wall. he spits up blood falling to the ground.
"Hmm you dodged that? Impressive boy!!!"
Reiji has blood dripping down his face a cut visibly open he uses healing touch on it.
"Why must you kill me?"
Orion responds " Keep in mind I am his memories not him. I have almost no attachment to you. It is a pity to waste such talent though. the reason is this I have one memory specofocally of import. help fulfill the prophecy at all costs."
Orion rushes forth in a blinding flash smashing the ground where reiji was. he had moved while distracting him. Reiji is on the stairs as prion is approaching.
"So you saw that coming huh?"
Reiji responds "You don't have to kill me you know."
Orion responds "Yes I do."
Orion tries to move forward but is stuck in this part of the dungeon by a unseen force. he smacks it using a barrage of fists then a light beam which just bounces off.
Reiji is panting healing his face.
Orion laughs " it seems the real me had a few things in place. he didn't give me those memories."
"oh well to finish this labyrinth. you must fight me sometime."
Reiji goes back up to the 44th floor but something unexpected happened.
Floor 44 Dreadnights domain
boss: dread knight soma
"This isn't what was here before what is going on. Soma huh it can't be."
As reiji reaches the steps to the next floor a voice echoes behind him.
[???] ah so it is your what a fortuitous turn of events to see you again boy. have you gotten any stronger since the last time?
Reiji turns around in a calm manner but his face creases when he sees the person or thing talking to him.
There he stands in red and black armor. head to toe as if he was still alive a sword in his hand. smiling with a big toothy grin. it is soma , but it is not this man is pale and gaunt as if he hasn't eaten in a long time.
Reiji grits his teeth then says "Soma we have a score to settle."
[Soma] Well I wouldn't say that it seems I have been forcefully dragged here from the other plane. A nice reprieve for sure but.."
Reiji's face lightens "forcefully summoned Here?"
Soma raises his sword " in my life I was jealous. Rage filled my heart so I betrayed all I know. me and my sister became agents of that being. We may have been powerful, but that didn't stop him from blowing us away like a paper doll in a storm. "
Reiji shoots a white emperors at soma. Soma dodges it barely. " I Don't want your excuses. I lost too much because of you, and your filthy sister.
Soma's face darkens a bit "Did you kill her?"
Reiji responds "No I didn't but she was killed by my liver trying to find me for vengeance. Then my lover was taken by a white haired knight woman."
Soma smiles then closes his eyes " I see so we both lost something to berg."
Reiji gets out of his stance " What do you mean? I haven't lost anything yet she is still alive."
Soma responds " No she isn't if he gets to you he will instantly kill her. he has many puppets.enought talk it is time to find out which of use is truly stronger."
Reiji goes to ready up but he is not prepared. he only has time to block as somas sword slashes upwards knocking reiji back.
One more thing Boy I know this dungeons name it was implanted in me at the time I was brought here.
Reiji kicks at him soma blocks it but is sent flying to the side.
"if you are here it must have something to do with memories."
soma responds by laughing at first.
"Hahahaha correct correct, but not just any memories. this is the dungeon memories of chaos it brings your worst memories or struggles back in a more humane form to torment you. it seems to bring back their memories as well."
"It can also bring people that person knows or knew. hahahaha chaos indeed its infinite. Unless you beat the whole thing it will remain forever. You may be a lost child, but can you rise to this challenge."
Reiji laughs at the last statement " Hahahaha I still don't know what a lost child is, but you know this is floor 44 put of 50 right?
Soma backs up a bit " s-so you have gotten stronger haha. still not strong enough to defeat me."
Reiji walks forth he looks up and he activates his skills. [Double attack] Raging aura, white emperor fist.
His whole body is first coated in a red aura increasing his power then along the inside of the aura a faint white light coats his skin pushing against the red. combining these effects his vitality is doubled, his strength is doubled and his attacks will hit two times.
Soma begins to coat his blade in black flames. [Dragon incineration flame] skill [foresight]. Now a brief battle plays in somas head. each time he walked forth in his vision his body crumbled away into dust. he rushes forth screaming.
"The future isn't absolutr I can change it. it isn't possible to be guaranteed."
Reiji pulls back as soma appears right in front of him. Soma swings down then dissapears behind him. rriji turns only for soma to dissapear again. now there are 10 somas around. Soma is using after image to try to fool reiji.
Reiji smirks "Do you know what will happen if you get close to me right now?"
All the Soma's laugh.
"Nothing will happen but your death."
Soma and his clones rush forth slashing down but reiji kneels and hits the ground as hard as he can. the ground collapses slightly causing it to concave and a giant white aura comes out expanding around reiji. This destroys all the clones. Soma is now turning to dust in the light.
"It appears as if I have completely lost to you."
He smiles as his fast becomes dust and scatters.
Floor 44 defeated
[exp already awarded please choose a reward]
A list of weapons and armors appear. Reiji looks over them. he sees an axe , sword, pole arm, twin daggers, twin swords, spears, heavy, light, and leather armor.
So much to choose from I don't need any other weapon really..and armor I don't even wear. Lilith transforms into a human. she points at the twin swothen.
"These are special get them."
Reiji looks at her " Special how exactly?"
Lilith holds her hand up.
"I can't tell you it is information you can't obtain yet."
Reiji sighs again, and he does it a lot lately. all these secrets and agendas bore him.
Reiji clicks on the twin swords. one black demonic jagged sword and one white angelic sword appear. both curved with a shine like they are alive. Neither appear to have a voice or will, but it is a feeling they give off. Reiji swings them.
"I had sword training but...they aren't the same I haven't used two at once. sigh this will do I feel something familiar about them. Must be my imagination."
