"Don't mess with THIS Devil!!!" The voice said before we started to move our legs towards the monster. It's shadow alone towering over us, let alone its gigantic body of fat.
'No time to figure our where this voice is coming from." I shot at it with the gun in the arm, but it didn't stop the monster attack which missus us by a hair. Some splinters fly off the side of our head
My best guess is that the skin is either to fat and absorbs the force better. Or its hide is so dense that the bullets didn't pierce the skin that deep.
"COME ON! You can do better than that." The mysterious voice said said as the monster tried to swing the make shift club again. This time we front flip over and run along its gigantic arm towards it's face.
"Bet this spot isn't bullet proof." I said firing my gun into the monsters face and hitting one of its eyes in the prosses. The monster then grabs us with it's free hand and pins us to the wall, only our left hand is free . Blood Stalk started to kick and stab the hand, but it had no effect on the monster.
"Yeah, whoever you are, now would be a good time to help." I said while trying to break free from its grasp. The monster pressed us further into the fall causing the rocks to break apart behind us due to the pressure. Blood Stalk screamed while getting crushed and can't move the rest of their body. I pull the trigger, but because of the angle I am stuck shooting the wall behind us. The monsters face started to approach us looking ready to devour our broken body.
"You said the word, so now its MY TURN!" The voice said as a a right black hand sticks out behind us and stabs the other eye of the monster with their pointer and index finger. The hand twist and pulls out the eye which has been turned into mush.
I look back to see where the hand came from but see nothing but darkness. Then a pair of glowing red eyes and a sharp smile peered through laughing.
"BLEHEHEHE! Guess He Had An Eye Full. Eh." The voice said with a sadistic sounding laugh. The hand slithering back behind us. The giant pig fell to one knee grabbing its face while letting us go from the wall.
As Blood Stalk was catching their breath from being crushed, I look forward and see a being emerging from our shadow pulsing with light. It then did a front flip and kicked the monster in the face causing it to fall onto its back. The being turned to us and I could see it's full appearance which looked scarily familiar.
The shadowy being head had red glass like eyes with long pointy ears, they had what looked like a green face mask with two black and white fangs covering its mouth . Black and white unkept hair split down the middle that seemed to flow upwards. Their body was like pure black armor with neon green lines glowing between the segments. Behind them was a long thin tail with a furry ball point at the end dancing around like a dog exited about something.
"WOOOW! I have a physical body too. Best Birthday Ever." The being said while jumping up and down clapping its claw like hands along with a weapon.
"That our steam blade. When did he steal that?" I said trying to get up but our legs wouldn't move. The monster started to get up with steam erupting from the holes where its eyes were. A few seconds later its eyes were completely regenerated like they were never damaged in the first place.
"Your Still Alive. GREAT! I wanted to test this body out and show off. Now I can do both" The shadowy being said with its arms down while hopping on one foot ready to move at any moment. The pig grabbed another dead looking tree with its remaining free hand and began to walk towards us again.
The shadowy being charged at the pig as it swung one of its makeshift clubs. Before the club reached the mysteries being, it the sliding underneath the pig and sliced its left heel. However, the wound wasn't that deep so it did little against the monster. The being then flipped onto the back of the pig and stabbed it repeatedly up the spine before back flipping of its head.
.
'I should help a little.' I barley manage to hold up our right hand and fire a single shot at the monsters right ear, causing it to real in pain and confusion for a second.
"HEY! Don't Ruin My Big Moment. I waited far to long to get my lime light stolen." The shadowy being said with genuine anger.
"Who even are you?" I said still trying to fire another shot before our right hand gives out and falls to our side limp.
"Give... it back." Blood Stalk painfully said while grabbing a rock next to us, Still trying to get up but unable.
The pig monster started to get up, screaming with sparks flying off it body where it was stabbed.
"Alright, Allow me to introduce myself. READY! My Name Is." They started before the sounds of drum roll playing and the shadowy entity paused before using its middle finger to take off its face mask, reviling sharp clean white teeth and a long red tong that was forked at the end like a serpent's. The entity took a deep breath and exhaled green flames out onto the monsters stomach. The flames then began to eat away at the flesh spell out a four letter word over the now burnt creature which still clinging to life. The dead trees also caught fire making them look like flaming glow sticks.
S-I-N-E
"SINE, THE DEMON OF DESIRE! Nice to meet you." They finished their introduction with their name spelled on the monster before it exploding behind them. Only the legs of the monster were left as black smoke and blood filled the air.
.
...
.
"Who?" I asked since I have no idea who they could be and Blood Stalk didn't seem to know either.
"I'M GLAD YOU ASKED!" The being calling itself Sine said with a high pitch voice.
"I am your darkest desire's, the part of you wish never exists. The impulses that you pray deep inside and prey never to come out. Basically, all fun no inhibitions." Sine said while moving their body in an expressive way like they were having the time of their lives.
"Are you the one that made us like this?" I asked the shadow behind us. The person in front of us looked like the thing I saw when I lost my body. They definitely have a similar appearance but the demeaner of them is all over the place.
"The Opposite. You, Made, Me. heheh." The voice said while cackling. It seems to be enjoying itself by running around in circles.
"Ok..." Blood Stalk said nonchalantly seemingly believing this nonsense as normal. The creature called Sine came to a sudden halt and turned to look at us in the eyes and they laughed in our face.
"I Like You Already." Sine said in a serious but playful tone. Their tail swaying on the ground kicking up dust as the steam blade twirled in in its hand before Blood Stalk suddenly snatched it from its grasp. Sine looked back and forth between its claw like hand and our before shrugging its shoulders.
"I'm not buying it. I know I seen a lot of stuff these last couple days and let most of the weird things slide, but this is where I draw the line in the sand. " I said thinking about having a inner devil just pop out of nowhere. I sooner believe this is a monster trying to trick us.
"Why's That? You were the same way as me. BUT WITHOUT THE BODY. HAHA." The demon said confused before making fun of me. I guess it finds hummer in my predicament.
"How do you know that? Also, whose devil are you suppose to be, Mine or Blood Stalks?" I ask curious to see if I can catch them off guard.
"I'm Both Your Devil's. SO, of course I would know everything their is to know about you two. By the way, your life is seriously messed up little No Name." Sine said pointing to us where our heart would be. Every word they said made me more upset for some reason.
"What does that-" I was about to question them further but the walls around us started to open revealing more monsters. There were tones of white rabbit looking ones with a single horn protruding from their heads came from the ground beneath us, five little red goblin's with two horns appeared from the wall furthest from us, and a gigantic bat crawling out of the ceiling.
"Hold the thought." Sine Said with a playful and uncaring attitude. Their voice still fluctuating from high to low. "I still have some Fun to ENJOY!" Sine said blocking one of the rabbit monsters as it charged. The being then glowed with some kind of green light and punched the rabbit away. Using that same energy, Sine kicked a rock below him into the pile of red goblins. Causing them to be flung in different directions.
.
"I can't stand sitting here doing nothing." I said feeling frustrated and helpless as more monsters started to gather around Sine. The bat that was hanging from the ceiling started to open its mouth and let out a high pitched noise that made the air around it distort. Sine suddenly went flying across the room and landed into a mosh pit of those horned rabbits.
As I was wallowing in frustration, our body started to glow purple for a few moments, when the light faded we could move again. Blood Stalk then took out a bottle and showed it to me as if asking for permission to use it.
"Let's go." I said with a nod.
"Rocket!" The sound effect played as we put the bottle in. I shoot a rocket at the bat causing it to move. The ceiling exploded with debris falling onto some of the rabbits, crushing them instantly and letting Sine get back up.
"Second Wind!" Sine yelled as it jumped up into the air while kicking a rabbit.
.
I see a notification and click on the gear to see a new tab opened immediately without any input. The screen showed a bath house with what looked like two stamps floating side by side. They had Strange red lines that glowed, then faded like a heart beat. It looked almost alive with the way it was pulsing.
"Oh, your a devil from ReVice. That makes so much more sense." I said figuring out that thing is apart of the rider system we have and not some outside force. I shoot another rocket at the bat but grab the rocket with the sting wires to fly closer to it. The bat monster tried to hit us with a sonic attack like before but we barley outmaneuvered the blast.
"Really. Was this not obvious enough for you?" Sine said while pointing to his mask and body in a comedic way. The being clawed one of the red goblins and used it head to bash another goblins head in.
"No, how it that obvious? " I said because all devils from ReVice look different from one another besides Vice and Veil. Blood Stalk swung the rocket in an unpredictable way and hit the bat monster dead on. They then used the momentum to get close to the monster and stab it in the head as I shoot another rocket into its stomach. The point blank explosion pushes us away from the ceiling and towards the ground.
"I Don't Know. How About You Use Your Brain Mr. BRANIACK! If the others heard you they would be so disappointed." Sine said while pointing to his own head. The being then started to run away from the few remaining monsters and towards us.
"Others? Pease don't tell me there are more of you." I said while Blood Stalk lands on the last two red goblin, crushing them with our bodies weight. Now only a single rabbit is left.
"Oh Don't Worry. There Are Definitely More Personalities Floating Around. The other one's in there are so much worse. That I can assure you." They said with a crazed tone while speaking in riddles. I don't know if that was a sarcasm or if it was serious. "Last One!" Sine yelled as killed the last rabbit looking monster by kicking it into a wall breaking its neck.
"That was so much fun. LETS DO IT AGAIN! Sine said while its body started to turn translucent. "Oh Come On. Times already up. I just got here." It said it's final words before disappearing.
"What the? Where did it go?" I said looking around but couldn't see that self proclaim devil anywhere.
"There he is. I think that's him." Someone yelled and I look back to see three people out of breath behind us.
"Now what?"
================================================================
Mean while outside the dungeon
'What does that jerk Otter want for me so early in the morning. Whatever it is, I bet will be a waist of time.' Allen thought while thinking about training to get stronger.
"Alright you overgrown boar. What do you-" Allen started to badmouth Otter before noticing a figure trying to hide their presence but he knew exactly who they were.
"I- I mean. " Allen started to shudder after finding out who they were yelling at.
"I have a little assignment for you if you don't mind." Goddess Freya said while leaning onto him getting close to his face while ignoring the previous comment.
"Just say what it is." Allen said not wanting to lose face in front of their one and only Goddess.
"A little knight scampered away while I wasn't looking and no one can seem to find them." Goddess Freya said with her left hand under her jaw.
"But cant you locate anyone you-" Allen was about to talk before getting interrupted.
"I could, but its no fun for this little one." Goddess Freya said with a little smile.
"The only clue I will give is that they are in the dungeon. You can handle the rest." Goddess Freya said with a mischievous smile.
"And if they don't want to go back?" Allen said wanting to be clear.
"As long as they are in one piece and breathing, I don't really mind how you do it." Goddess Freya said with no change in tone.
"I have to leave after this so I can't stay to watch the show unfortunately." Goddess Freya said looking lament about the situation.
"Fine, Consider it done. What does he look like?" Allen said wanting to complete this task as soon as possible.
"Red. Blood red."
