" We need to find Ragna, fast!!!! " Inquisitor Kara says for she told Jack and Tricia to immediately help her locate Ragna while Galen tries to stop the Hunters.
As they run they can hear the attacking Hunters' screams of pain since unknownst to them, Galen manages to take care of them despite only using a bit of his Gift Ability.
" Argh, my arm!!!! "
" My leg... my leg!!! "
As the Hunters from the Great Ocean Guild cry in pain because of what Galen did there, the trio from Ragna's Group decided to flee as Inquisitor Kara leads the way with the help of the Divine Voice inside her.
"{ Left, Right, Jump } " The voice instructs her as it still instructs her to follow its direction.
"{ Your target is close, dear Kara.... }"
"{ Find him, he will save you all from this mess... }" the Divine Voice says to the Inquisitor as she still follows its instructions.
"( I hope you're right, goddess... ) " she says as she recognizes the Divine Voice with her faith that it belongs to her goddess, Aphrodite.
"( I don't know how you even get inside me in the first place, but still, even if you didn't tell me the reason, I will happily accept it. ) "Inquisitor Kara says as she remembers the feeling she gets after she prayed back then, before even entering this Abyss Tower.*
While feeling faithful, the Inquisitor advised the other two to follow her as she wants them to get close so she can easily monitor and defend them closely, the two did just that, but alas.
* Slash *
" Jack!!!!! " Tricia shouts as she saw Jack, the group's healer being slashed without even reacting for a bit since he was slashed in the neck so suddenly that his head is released from the neck before Jack himself even noticed anything.
As it happens, Jack's head bumps into the ground, shocking Tricia aloud as she screams in horror after seeing Jack die.
" Oh no, Jack!!!!! " she screams in horror as the only Healer in the group now dies, leaving her and Kara both to deal with whoever slashes him.
"{ Kara, above you!!! } " Aphrodite's voice can be heard inside Kara's head as she dodges the incoming slash attack.
*Slash*
* Crack *
The slash cracks and shatters the very ground below as the attacker seems to have an ability that can slash from afar.
"( This slashing ability, why does it look familiar? ) " Inquisitor Kara says as the attacker then lands on the ground and presents himself before her.
" You seem so shocked, Inquisitor? " he says as he unleashes his Hand Blades which made Inquisitor Kara kinda shocked as he sees the Blade.
" That blade, why does it work like... "
" A [Hand Scythe] " the person says as he shows his face after the dust is clear.
" You!!!! " Kara says as he recognizes the face.
" Ripper Jack!!!! " she shouts after seeing the Enemy Hunter's face.
.......................
[ Somewhere else. ]
"{ Kara, my dear.... } "
"{ I'm sorry that I had to make you had to come into this situation... } "
"{ It is all my fault... } "
A voice says as the Gift Core inside Inquisitor Kara glows.
"{ I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Kara... } "
"{ I'm so sorry that as a goddess, I didn't train you much for this event. } "
"{ I'm deeply sorry, my dear child... } "
"{ For Tae Ra, for your family, ... } "
"{ I'm deeply sorry... } "Aphrodite's voice comes inside Inquisitor Kara's Gift Core as the goddess's soul increases the power of the Inquisitor Gift Core to fight the enemy before her.
"{ May my Divine Thunder help you in this fight, don't hesitate on using it... } " she says as in that moment, without anyone's noticing, Kara suddenly felt a sudden burst of energy despite her never intended to power up in the first place.
" Wha... what am I? "
"{ Kara ... } " Aphrodite says.
" Goddess...., what are you? where are you? " the Inquisitor wonders where the goddess's voice came from but Aphrodite tells her that she is now inside her and now she speaks to warn her that Kara needs to hasten whatever she does and find Ragna even if she has to use Aphrodite's full power in order to end things in the Abyss Tower quickly.
"{ You have been distracted long enough, child... } "
"{ Now it's time to hurry, don't let some similarities ruin your focus and defeat this enemy now!!! }" Aphrodite says.
" What do you mean, goddess? " Inquisitor Kara still powers up while the goddess says that the person in front of her now may resemble Ripper Jack but it is not him just someone he's related to.
As the Inquisitor power's up, the attacker that looks like Ripper Jack then gets angry as he then angrily shouts at her for ignoring him and he then decided to attack her while powering up.
" You a**hole b**ch!!!! "
" How dare you power up without my permission!!!? " he says after kicking the Inquisitor meters away.
As he has done that, he then senses that Inquisitor Kara's power is getting increased which made him angry that the Inquisitor powers up early and had to ignore or even skipped his introduction time which made him displease as he thought that is inappropriate.
" You really trying to get on my nerves, aren't you Inquisitor? " he asks as the guy with the [Hand Blade] Gift ability then takes something out from his pocket, a dark purple round-like thing that looks like core but it's not a Gift Core.
As he takes it from his pocket, he then looks at Tricia to stay there and don't go away, since he wants a witness in order for him to have more valid proof in his reports.
" You, after I kill the Inquisitor... "
" You're coming with me!!! " he says as he told her that he wants her to be the witness for his Boss as he wants her to gain sight of the thing-in-his-hands results.
" Oh yes, by the way!!! "
" Are you still there, Inquisitor? " he asks Inquisitor Kara who he just kicked earlier.
" Come out here, I know you've already finished preparing... " he says but was met by silence.
" If you don't.... " he says after he hears no answer just for three minutes.
" I'll be the one that comes over you," he says as he swallows the thing in his hand, it powers him up like hell, giving him immense power.
" Grahahahahahaha!!!!! " he shouts.
" [Sin Core] Activated!!!!! "
