( Minutes later. )
" Can you free yourself, Maiden...? " Galen asks the Battle Maiden as he tries his best to free her.
As he frees her from the web, she sees Arachina squirming on the ground, feeling the pain after Adrian devours her counterpart.
" Water...son!!! " Arachina angrily screams as she tries to wake up.
" Not so fast... " a voice suddenly comes in from below, as Arachina was struck by a black sword, coming under her.
" What is...? " Battle Maiden asks.
" A Black Sword, don't tell me... " Galen says, immediately realizing who the hell just come to this place as the person rises up from Arachina's shadow while letting her body hang in his sword as he comes out from the shadows.
" It's me... " Ragna wipes his tears in front of them as he tries his best to release the emotions left behind during his time-out (possession).
" What happened? did something happen in the Floors below? " Galen asks Ragna.
" Yeah, some drama thing just happened to me recently," Ragna tells Galen about it as he throws the two some
...
< Large HP Potions >
< This potion is used to give a lot of HP. >
< Medium Cleansing Potions >
< This potion can negate any negative effects, given by the enemy. >
...
" Wow, this feels good... " Battle Maiden says after drinking it, realizing that she felt better than before.
" Of course, Maiden... "
" The potion negates every negative unseen effect such as [Dizziness], [Fatigue], and etc etc etc after all... " Ragna says to the Maiden that things like those could affect their performance in battle, so it better be dealt with first.
" So, what's the situation, both of you...? " Ragna asks as he and the other two hear a large explosion.
" Wait, don't tell me... " Galen says as he sees the smoke of the explosion.
...
" It's that what you got, Divine Avatar...? " Adrian says to Kara as he beats her continuously, just like what he did to Raiden before even dealing with her.
"{ Kara, hold on... }" Aphrodite says as she tries her best to support Kara's body with her Divine Energy as her defense while she regenerates her hands, which Adrian broke during the fight earlier.
*Hands regenerating*
" Oh no, you don't! " Adrian says as he rips Kara's hands before it regenerates.
" Kreuukkhhh!!! "
" Don't think to regenerate now, missy! " Adrian says to her.
" I'm not done playing with you! " Adrian says as he punched her continuously again.
*Inquisitor Kara coughs blood.*
" Wow, you cough blood too after I hit in the stomach? "
" Even Raiden earlier also gives me the same reaction..., how typical... "
" Man, you human-born creatures are such weaklings, aren't you...!? " Adrian goes on to his Demigod Ego, feeling he has the right above other people.
" Look at you, even with the gods' powers, you still can't beat me! " Adrian says as he mocks Kara for being a weakling Divine Avatar.
" Divine Avatar, what a joke...? "
" The vessel of the dead goddess..., who clings to mere mortal filth to find refuge... "
" Hella funny, don't you think, Flolial! " Adrian shouts to Flolial, who he ordered to bind Raiden with her plants.
*Flolial stays silent.*
" Really? no answers? "
" What's the matter with you Flora, did Raiden's thunder sting your plants again, what happened? " Adrian asks her with a mocking tone while Flolial shivers on following his orders as she can do nothing to counter his orders.
" Are you just staying there, silent and just b**ch, moaning and complaining? " Adrian says to her as he continues to hurt Kara even more.
" Shit, you women are useless..., try responding to harsh-tone questions, will ya!? " Adrian says as he mocks Flolial for being silent.
As he finishes with Kara, he then decides to activate his [Greed & Gluttony] again, but...
" [Greed & Gluttony], finish her... "
" ... "
" ... "
" Hello! [Greed & Gluttony]!? " Adrian calls his Sin Ability again but when it activates it only summons teeny tiny teeth of gluttony.
" What the f**k!? " Adrian was shocked to see such a pathetic display of his own power.
" Seriously, what is going on, now!? " Adrian says but suddenly.
" Your Sin Ability has been nerfed, idiot! " Ragna says as he immediately attacked Adrian from his blind spot.
Ragna strikes with his hand and Ki as he sent Adrian flying at full speed.
When it happened, Flolial was shocked as he never thought things like that could happen, but before she can talk.
" I found you... " Battle Maiden says as she puts her sword in front of Flolial's throat.
" You...! "
" How long has it been, cousin...? "
" Or should I say Dark Brotherhood Sect's Second-In-Command! "
" Flolial Flora! " Battle Maiden says to Flolial.
" Battle Maiden! " Flolial says as she realizes it is her Divine Avatar of Athena cousin of hers, the Battle Maiden.
" It's... "
" It's been a long time..., too... "
" Was it not!? "
" Look at you... " Flolial says as she sees the Battle Maiden has eyes, as it stares sharply at her. while making herself as Battle Maiden's hostage.
...
Unbeknownst to all of them.
" Must... escape... " Arachina says as her life is faded from her grasp.
She groans as something comes out from her stomach, an insect of hers, spawned as her last ditch resort.
" Must survive... " Arachina says as she then fades out, releasing the insect out of her womb, as the insect leaves the very place she's at while her body quickly decomposes as if it was just a mere shell.
" Skreekk!!! ####!!! " the unleashed insect screeches as it slips into the little gaps of the place, leaving everything behind to find refuge.
...
( Outside the Tower. )
" Are you sure to come here among this chaos...? " a voice says as they sit above the roof of some remaining tall Tower in the T District.
" Those Diviners might notice our presence, they... "
" No need to be afraid, Zadkiel... " a woman says as she opens her hoodie.
" They won't notice us since the Tower already takes all of their attention. " Seraphim says as she sees the things that happened outside the Tower.
As the two angels look at the chaos, Zadkiel who was still worried about Rory that they left, immediately asks Seraphim.
" Are you sure it's wise to leave Rory, behind? " he asks Seraphim regarding it which Seraphim silently reply with a simple stare.
"... "
"... "
"... "
" *sigh* "
" The others will take care of her, keep her safe... "
" From the Diviners and Deviants with their mortals... "
" From her grandson, Ragna too... "
