[ Top Floor ]
" Sheesh, you really such a powerhouse huh, Maiden? " Galen asks the Battle Maiden as she uses Libra again to do her bidding.
" [Justice Slash] " Battle Maiden casts her skill to wipe the demons out.
" PANT..., PANT... " Battle Maiden was exhausted as she still hold firmly at her newly upgraded sword.
"( Not yet, I need to hold it... )"
"( I can't use the ability yet, it's too risky since the sword's durability is already been sacrificed for this new weapon ability. )" Battle Maiden remembers the cost of her sword upgrade.
As she thinks about it, Galen wastes no time and just kills the demons coming towards her, while the Maiden is on 'AFK' in her mind for now.
*Demon blood splats in the Maiden's head and face, after Galen destroyed it.*
" Hmm... " Battle Maiden sees it, as she sees Galen in front of her.
" Now since you're out from the line, Maiden... "
" It's time for me to show my things to the enemy. " Galen says, immediately starting to use the skills he had as he slaughters the demons.
" WTF!!! " Gargas says as the monsters he summoned were destroyed.
" Who the hell is this human!? " Gargas says as Galen destroys the large monster he created.
[ Black Balrog ]
[ Immediately obliterated by Galen's 'Demon Martial Techniques' ]
[ Killed using 'Demon Fist Strike' ]
After Galen killed it, Galen smirks as he finally could kill a big ass monster himself.
"( Thanks to 'my disciple' {Ragna}, I could now finally fulfill my dreams of killing larger monsters. )"
"( Even as a US Agent*, I still lack many powers for the US didn't train us enough on our powers, despite having so many resources. )"
"( Well..., at least I've been warned about this, hence why I choose some mission in order to leave that place. )"
"( That place had many s**ts one could ever know. )" Galen says as he recounts his other reason for being here in the first place.
"( But now... )" Galen says as he feels freer now, back then, even as the US's top agent, Galen often lied with many promises that the country uncle sam will help free Galen from his Gift Core's restriction that blocks him from cultivating Ki in his interns back then.
But sadly, those higher-ups from that country totally lied to him about it and it seems their promises were been done by a 12-year-old, Trinia boy, who happens to have some physical deficiencies, having quite a crippled/limped leg and a corrupting fox curse inside his body.
"( Thanks to Ragna...! I can perform what the forefathers of my Clan performed in ancient times! )" Galen says as he destroys another Black Balrog summoned by the Tower, this living Tower, made from Sacrificed Deviant Fleshes.
Galen was so powerful, even Gargas who was just flying above, decide to interfere by trying to attack Galen from behind, but stops as he sees Libra's activation.
[ Judgment Libra activated ]
[ Blindspot Guardian Commenced ]
" That Battle B##ch!!! " Gargas says, cursing the Battle Maiden from activating the sneak bomb for those who tried to sneak attack.
" Thank the Deviant Lords, I stopped myself... " he was thankful to himself for being cautious for one wrong move and he will end up like those demonic creatures earlier. Being brutally exploded.
As he stops, Battle Maiden loos at her while panting as with the ability activated again, Gargas and his summons will never do any unknown horrendous critical attacks ever again.
"( I've prevented him, from attacking Galen... )"
"( Thank goodness I did it on time. )"
"( If Galen was defeated early then my stamina would be wasted immediately..., I can't risk it. )" Battle Maiden says, telling Galen to do things as fast as he can which Raiden comply.
" Understood miss! " Galen says, performing more techniques to defeat those enemies.
[Demon Martial Techniques, Demon Fist Clap]
[Demon Martial Techniques, Demon Fist Strike]
[Demon Martial Techniques, Demon Spirit Wave]
*Demons that charged from the left are all obliterated due to those techniques*
*Boom* *Bam* *Splat* *Splat* *Splat* *Splat* *Bam* *Boom* *Bam*
*Splat* *Splat* *Boom* *Splat* *Splat* *Bam* *Bam* *Boom* *Splat*
*Boom* *Splat* Bam* Bam* *Boom* *Splat* *Splat* *Splat* Bam*
*Demons growl in pain, as Galen's techniques create many holes in their bodies like a doughnut hole.*
As Galen destroys them, his body suddenly felt something as an ominous Aura comes out from his body.
"( This aura..., oh...! )" Galen says as he sees the very aura coming out after he kills a lot of Demons.
"( It's the Aether... )" Galen quickly noticed as he felt a strange boost coming into his body.
"( It seems Ragna was right that this power source is going to react near the dead. )"
"( I don't know why, but... )" Galen grins as he was filled with the Aether cultivated in his body, thanks to Ragna.
"( It kinda feels good. )" Galen says as his eyes glow red and his Aether Aura raises up into the skies of the Top Floor.
" This aura scent... " a voice says in the skies of the Top Floor, crawling in the dark.
" Why does this... " the thing crawls as she prepares to strike at the perfect time.
...
" Such a disappointment... " Adrian says as he sits while looking at Raiden who fights the demons with Kara.
Raiden sees him back as he still sits on his throne chair, accompanied by Flolial as she tends to his wounds, thanks to Raiden's thunder.
Seeing Raiden, Flolial looks at Adrian as she gently holds his back and his chest with a kind and caring gesture.
" I've told you about this, didn't I...? " Flolial asks Adrian.
" About your 'friends'... " she says as she tells Adrian who is quite sensitive to his ears.
" So what's your point!? "
" My point is... "
" You should've listened to me that one day, your 'friend' will unleash his fangs against you. "
" You know yourself that your 'bros' will abandon you someday, right? " Flolial said and Adrian decided to choke her while she was still Healing him.
" You know this and I...- " " Don't mock me, woman! " Adrian says as he grips her neck.
" Don't lecture me about my life and my friendships! "
" Just do your goddamn job! "
" Tend me! " Adrian orders her as she continues while shutting her mouth for good.
" As you wish... " Flolial says as she tends to Adrian's wounds while looking at the Battle Maiden the Maiden also looked at her from afar, responding to her sharp gaze.
Seeing that, Adrian just stares at Flolial while patiently waiting for his very treatment.
"( Hmmm... )"
