COI C162

Hidden from nowhere, the demon who faced Azin and Ironno. Twice that she sees Azin keeps interfering without fail. Her connected influence had done unmatched to his lost lambs. Even herself never understood how this part of the city is more open to their desires while the others hid behind their homes. Fuku City have become more sheltered than ever before. Using defectors as pawns, using the low lives to blame and hide their shames, and using their own selfish powers to be the center of all top company business’ investments. It wasn’t enough for them, yet they don’t want them to grow better than themselves.

The voice of the message comes forth sarcastically. Died into the void as the demon would gone after their made-up death. The calmed voice back from the old era, forced awaken by the demoness’ excitement.

“Olde friend, you need to wake up in this time. Our enemy’s origin is here, would you take your chances again to get them too, before they ascend and cause more chaos?”

“You and your games, there will always time for me to return. But, you, you are siding with them”

“That’s, were you’re wrong . . .”

“Quit butting in what I am trying to say here. You and Lady Hivites were allies back in Norvait. A little disagreement here and there, and the most important topic was them leaving this world”

The demoness didn’t say anything as it reminds her unkindly, the voice speaks more daring with its sarcastic and calmed tone

“I knew you shouldn’t bring me back up. I lost my body and you’re trying to give me a new one”

“True, I was trying to help you. You are also Lady Hivites’ true loyal friend”

“Pfft, don’t make me laugh. Everything what you send to me all this time is about them treating you as their cultic god. Our old enemy was gone a bit and returned back into his new prison. The same enemy you make and the man who now knows how to beat a demi-demon . . .”

It laughs and mocks the demoness.

“. . . You? And the Dexter Guild’s lab rat?”

It continues “Keep failing this way, and the people with their desecrated bible study group would eventually turn everyone into Christians”

“They never found out yet. Importantly, they don’t want to deal any religion. Their culture though show signs of spiritual practices”

“Sigh* Why am I wasting my time talking to you? Still, you are going to force me out whether I like it or not. Make sure to time it right. I am not be reborn just to manipulate them. I’ll dominate them to my own abilities. Dead or Alive!”

It ends abruptly. The young boy’s body is a candidate for its vessel, sadly its purity was saved by the bead. If it wasn’t for that, she will have one of many pieces of the possible for the revival.

The headquarter of the security is continuing the investigation. The spy found one more case. The missing child from the west part of Fuku City. Exposed a sign of magic suicide, from what the suspects are saying. It wasn’t, the advance magic they are using is able to detect the bead’s magic. It is different from the previous victim. The house wife, really is a widow, who is actually con artist at the start. That victim who died become obsess of her and able to provide her help. It is ironic how she used him, then turned into a monster and her child didn’t know anything about it. The magic spells on him causing his memory to forgot about it. After thorough observation, her son has multiple memory losses.

Azin gives her that bead to protect her. A more monster than he had imagined, or maybe his goody behavior conned him from her beauty. The Perb’s confession is in the case file. It is certain, the secret victory of the woman to get out from her own mistake back fires. The Perb has this strange magic scroll to punish her with. Because of that, they don’t let her go to jail. Her jail is already trapped in herself. The things she did to her son as her scape goat shared the same fate. She becomes obsess with Azin like he is her god. The magic scroll he was using is permanent. It is clear it was made by Ironno.

Such incredible paper really can hurt someone, and she is now under care and protection for researchers to find a cure against that curse. The spy switches to the other visit. Under one day, they are persistent to go on. They should be getting tired about now. According to the Perb’s message, they have potions to keep them awake. The story about the missing child is connecting altogether. Now finally, the investigation will come forth. The accusation of inheritance is truly he could not comprehend. The bastards want their bosses’ child’s fortune. Because of living in a different world, they broke off their masquerade and reveal their grievances to the young teenage boy.

They could just throw him away and take all his fortune, but that’s how he thinks in a disorganized society. Soon, the spy was called by the head security. The head security has her mind busy. Tapping her desk with her pen thinking about the situation it is been.

“Do you want to see me, Ma’am”

“Yes, you’ve been through a lot last night. Ordering you privately to check on them”

“Of course, that last case makes me thought first that Azin is one of those crazy cults”

“This part of the city is part of a craze cult groups. Were you a resident here?”

“No, I was a working employee in Mihayara district. I am assigned here in a private matter”

“That’s right, you were recommended to me. I see”

The head security has gathered her thoughts and making an idea with the information they gathered. “You remember the actions of Azin?”

“Yes, and I too see something off with his direction. The people he is targeting are mostly sinners from what I can comprehend”

“It is what we have found so far. There is more though. I know you were digging up about Azin’s contacts”

“Indeed, I did, with due respect. I only know who he brought against him. The remnants of the representative’s enemies”

“That’s a bit too far fetch. Anyway, the answers. What do you think I could do to him?”

The spy speaks to the cult leader through telepathy. The man chuckles to the idea of him asking for help. The order was to let him follow along with head security’s action. He said nothing to the spy and let him stay silent.

“So, you don’t know. I guess we are no different then. Unless you know who is helping to?”

“That’s the hard thing. The previous contacts were mostly people calling for help. Indirectly of course, but my investigation with the investigator opens up to me with further connected cases. The reason why he was able to get inside too frequently”

Azin has been doing a lot lately, he is not doing all this for preaching his religion to make a following. The people he reaches are indeed in need, but he faces people who are against him. Actually, the first one is taken advantage of it. The second is already gone before he even knows it. Previously, he can face anyone with his special magic powers as they are equals. Many tried to get him, but failed by his hidden power. The city didn’t detect if he is powerful enough to be illegal or not. All he ends with a drastic changed after exposing the enemies’ realms.

This is no sign of a sudden weakness. He has the power. He only uses it inside of the realm or never use it at all. Through the investigation, and that’s all what they got from him. The head security looks at him disappointedly

“Have you experience pity on others?”

“How about being scammed by them?”

“Sigh* the city really does make everyone a monster. Then you know what my orders then”

“. . . That’s . . .”

His mind was in shock, and forced his answer

“You’re going to help him to get those guys out from their isolation”

“I see, you do understand. Yet, you don’t pity them”

“Same goes why people are desperate to be with their groups. I can’t speak out my opinion in my job”

The orders have been sent to the securities. The orders are simple, sends a warrant for his arrest. After certain conditions he will be doing, it is their opportunity to get him. The spy listens to her order.

“Bring him to me after he is being jailed for a few weeks or a month. The people who complained about him should be quiet down for a bit. Then later you should give the final document to the two”

“The two?”

“Yes, the Mihayara district’s undercover fugitive and the volunteer service member, called himself Ironno from the Raker Mawn guild”

Failure after failures, Ironno is getting suspicious. Meanwhile the Perb is losing his mood to enjoy life again. “This would be the last day I will help this guy. I really need to go back to Mihayara district, I really need my R n R”

“I respect you for keep going in the past few days straight?”

“Groan* You said it. I have some stuff to do to feel me again, and keeping myself full working for the last few days. I don’t think I could think straight”

Ironno turned to Azin to see what he is being up to. The news about him is wildly spread, and hardly takes the blame. The creeps were the loudest to keep mentioning about him, but their popularity of the topic is in a small margin. A thousand or so, that’s a lot but to them, it is nothing.

Ironno goes to Azin’s side questioning something what he is hiding. “The Unworthy guild is acting like Dexter Guild”

“Hearing you said a fake name of our guild, even so. My guild has no interest in this city. Still our duty must be upheld both faith and loyalty. Can you do that to act-like when Lord Lori’es is within our view?”

“Starting to speak like the faithful. You starting to ‘act-like’ one of us then”

“An Enders, true as an Enders. I’ve been provided you some enemies. Where I didn’t show you the people who are in need, I presume. I’m sorry that I didn’t speak to you truthfully, but I know this generosity is weak for you”

The Perb heard their discussion only to the last part. “What do you mean generosity? Are we heroes or something?”

“I am asking for help to deal with the pursuers. I guess I used more than protection”

“I uh, yeah. I was wondering where they are. The people who hunted you down earlier. Why did they stop?”

Ironno knows why, but “Would they bother to stop us?”

“By destroying their realms, I supposed so. Now I think about it, why bother taken him down when they could seal it away”

Azin hears their assumptions, those were not the reasons. “That is what they wanted you to think. I guess we should convince them otherwise. Let’s go, there is a realm that is not belonged to my enemies. A special one”

Inside their hideout as the portal is formed. This realm is connected. The portal is already under Azin’s control. He is taken them where someone took his bead. It wasn’t a low life who took it, but was a defector. Because of that, the bead is already haunts him to get it back. They walk through the portal and arrive to a realm that does not belong to the low life. The Perb senses the dangers inside of this realm. Nostalgic and familiar of how the realm being made. Materials that he could not define by eyes, and let only his sense of touch to recognize this place with great caution.

Sweat is starting dripping down the Perb’s skin, and feels something heavy lying on his shoulders. Rune weapons handed over by Ironno. “Prepare yourself, this is no weakling nor a victim. We are facing a more threat than lousy citizens behind the wall”

The Perb quickly body shifts into a weapon, with on tight fit on his female body. Added a little adjustment to her hair. Short hair, and tanned skin. The same figure as physically fit woman, and the tomboyish hair. People hiding in the realm recognized that man-woman formed.

The sounds in the background coming back to the scene with the other two. The rest are gathering as they step forward. The man who lost his shrunken head steps in

“So, we finally meet again. It is true that this weird thing attracts you, con man. Let’s first talk something else. To clear the confusion why we first met fighting and cough* saving their assess without ‘deflowered’ that sweet, sweet ass”

“Shut the fuck up, you go fuck yourself if I let your herpes ass or what STD going in with that limp dick of yours”

The Perb talks back, giving no understanding for the two Enders. They continue to grief.

The man with the music player spoke out “A talk? What are . . . OW!”

The mage sniper snipes him from a far then hits him on the ear and hear the message coming from him.

“We . . . shouldn’t . . . talk . . . about . . . it”

Five shots on the ear consecutively, the man with the music player talks back to him a loud tune at the backline.

“Said that again, when you got yourself caught again by the Perb!”

Both Ironno and Azin were ready and wait for the Perb to settle this. The Perb can easily ready himself, but the grief continues. Their customs here before fighting is a little off. Time is wasting, and this realm is starting to locked them in.

The man with music player plays again with the tune at the background, and a simple call added.

“Meet with him again, I know where he is going and you three should go back again. You have Col and you guys just record what’s going on, and thanks again what you guys did back there. This time finished them off and show to the doubles what you guys made of. We need prove to the gangs that how far strong we can be against the Enders. This test is specialized among you two. Col has shamanism, you (Playah!) have dwarven Rune music player, Shotbot has the best mana control, and also the electronic runes. Don’t waste it this time”

“You are one lucky bastard when mention that name wrongly. Just call him shrunken head or lump of coal”

The shrunken head guy keeps his grief with the Perb. Sexual innuendos keep blasting out of their mouths leaving those two or him, lied hearing them talk. The insults were over.

“Now then my new fuck buddy” The Perb insists

“You called me STDs and now you want to fuck?”

“Am I talking to you?”

In his sexy female fighter formed winking at the person from afar. Shotbot is watching, surrounded himself with traps and inside the foxhole no less. He is able to escape without his clothes, the scream of moaning keeps his ears from the pervert’s mobbing. If he, does it again, he already straps himself with explosives. He is ready to die a virgin than taken away from a boys’ love enthusiast.

The man with music player breaks it down. “Just get it on with it, I have no idea why you two want to talk. Those two over there are ready their weapons, like geez. Did you two have history together?”

Both of them said to him “Yes!”

“What!?”

The Perb explains “Have you ever found out how he is willing to join to search for me. It’s probably because he wanted to know how much of a menace I am. Still, it’s our business. Then saving them weren’t your issue”

Col stops him “No, it was luck. We didn’t talk much because . . . ahem* . . . It is better why we are here now”

Col shows to him the bead, the bead suddenly reacted and returned to Azin’s side.

Azin takes it and his floating object starts raising its powers. It was resolved so easily, and the reason for it is because they are looking for them. Yet, all of them look at the Perb. She changes his pose and turned around showing her muscular back side. She pretends to follow their gaze, while she shows something sexy. No words, He can only guess they have common enemies with different reasons. The realm blocks their exit as what they have expected. The rest of the defectors are there, hiding. The plan is starting to build up, but hesitated where the floating object cancels them from entering.

The man holds the remnant of his shrunken head. “We have many connections for leading you this far. The thief gave it to us because the con man is his enemy. If you want to get out, try to kill us or else we will kill you first”

He quickly casts a powerful spell in one punch, a meteor strike thrown by only his fist as Shotbot’s shoots boosted it forward, and along with the music background to enhanced it with extra speed. Azin uses the floating object to shield themselves, but it breaks through. Azin covers himself as the spell keeps going at him. Ironno uses his rune pickaxe to pulverized the meteor. It breaks and pushes through them to dust.

He brings out his parcel with dusts marked with his magic scrolls. The magic scrolls are stapled in different colored ribbons. The scrolls he is using are made by Haw. Dust writings, on a magic scroll. It was impossible to do. For a former Dexter Guild member, he is able to layered it out secretly to hide its powerful spell. They fought back as the shots coming from afar. Shotbot hits Ironno and tries to cut off anything that equips on him. His scrolls were already used and protect them from the magic range. Azin recovers his floating object mustered to absorb the realm’s power. The defectors hiding stop him from stealing their mana. Causing only the three of them fighting against the intruders. Col, Playah!, and Shotbot are getting their rematch.

The loud sound goes like thunder, drumming, winding, stringing, and other musical instruments with a bang. The choir voices from the music player intense loud orchestra. The first strike was their ultimate combination. Once again, it becomes worthless. They see that they are getting stronger. Playah! has seen their power able to stop it. Stronger than the Agathean they have face and the same strength of the dwarves to break their magic. The background music, orchestra music has begun, the loud roaring song plays from the music player has start the match.

Col raises his arms at the Perb’s bracers, see he had the same fighting style as him. His eyes grew with anticipation, then dashes away from him to get even with Ironno to a surprise attack. Ironno blocks him from his powerful strike, Col’s shamanism powers uproar at him. Ironno clutch his strength as they both hold their stance. Col quickly breaks the clutch then unleashed his spells on the floor, and eruption of rituals coming down. Ironno parried him too easily to the side and the Perb grabs Ironno and throw him to Playah!. They both reunite once again as their arms clutches together.

“Your power returned, ‘Coal’ . . .”

Col’s power exploded to hear his nickname. The spirit from the shrunken head appeared.

Shotbot and Playah!’s buffed magics were removed from Col’s stats. The Perb never want to face that monstrosity of a powerful ritual. He is not alone, him in his female body starts to remove the magic he formed. His true body revealed it is being torn apart in his female form. A magic scroll runs in the middle of their clutch, helps him restore his female form, and boosted further as his voiced fully feminize.

“I thought I was an idiot to say your name, but now I’m starting to like it”

Her skin marked with tattoos as the drawings moved thoroughly to her magic skin. She feels her power harmonize with the rituals.

Col’s aura is shapeshifting into elemental forms, his eyes turn a blazing and his aura turned stone to dust, shifting the dirt through icicle and crystallize. He is holding the dust. Col jumps at him unleashing the dusts hidden within his inventory. The powerful blasts washed her down like mud shower, blown to dust, then clears as she still untouched. Azin’s floating object helps him. Col’s lunatic smile joins along with the tribal spirit’s grin. The Perb shows him a disgusted feminine face, the cold beautiful, and she raises the ground up to look down on him. Col, unveil more of the ritual elements. He is still not finished with everlasting magic.

Playah! is being attacked by Ironno. Ironno setting up his stance readying to smite him down with a rune pickaxe. The soundwaves were easily taken down with rune magic. His expression on his eyes as silent as wanting his prey with clean hits. It wasn’t that long as Playah!’s body got pierced and down to the ground. So quick and mercilessly hit him with no given chance to fight. Shotbot magic spread all around tries to the fight those Enders. The runes were too powerful and led them to a useless state. Ironno uses his scroll to forced summon Shotbot.

Shotbot appeared to them and quickly smite down to his skull along with Playah!. The instant death was removed as Azin barely saves those two. The magic keeps active as it roams itself automatically fought against them. Ironno turns around as he stares Azin with such a cowardly act. They are fighting for their lives and the man treated it lightly. He breaks his silence

“You send us to a trap, and you keep them alive?! Is there any reason why you have to do this?!”

“I have, so that they could not make a mistake of fighting against an Enders Oof!”

Ironno smacks him off to his feet as his spells breaks and the daggers he held were pulled back to the pickaxe.

The conflict puts the two in most daring. “I am involved with the people who are abandoned their city state. You did not preach them. You use your powers to keep them in check. The consequences mean nothing as they learn of my abilities, and the dwarves’ old culture of faith on the runes”

He starts to swing to the lethal blow to the two again. Col comes to their rescue and the runes shines ever so judging. The dwarven gods heard his wrath and so the judgement to behold. A powerful thunder broke through the realm and open to the world to hear.

Fuku City sees an overwhelming phenomenon raining from the sky pierced through the city barrier with a reinforced refinement where it hits. The dust clears in one terrible hole as the sky turns dark, revealing the true world as it is but no one knows if it is true. The refinement turned into a gapping entrance where the thunderous rune falling down in a powerful lightning strike. The realm hidden within the city revealed the most damnation of all realms. The revelation of the defectors’ domain.

The securities, the police of the entire city are going to the scene. They entered the destroyed realm. The places were in ruins to beyond belief. Fuku City is safe, but the realm left nothing of evidence. Until one person is left behind the mess. One man, the investigator and the spy come in to see, among the rest of the guards raised their weapons to.

“The man who created judgement days. What realm did he destroy?”

“I don’t know, but it must be one of the powerful hidden realms like in Mihayara district”

“Then we both need the rat. Damn it, a scamming fanatic here showing our citizen the might of his god”

They took Azin in, and he offers himself to them without resistance. His hands cuffed and the floating object disappears. The officers tried to forced it out, but it never came back. They look at him as a monster and the powerful magic item he used had made this possible. The investigator won’t hold back to know what happened. The community watches the smoke and mirrors of the realm. Their eyes stood before the judgement days. A rumored conversation among the internet had done greatly. The realm was taken down was not known but suspect to be the creeps’ domain. They don’t want to show their gratitude, and none of them were showing their concern for him, they feared him.

The Fuku adventurers watch this known realm destroyed. The cult leader’s hidden pathway to get through the city who have no registration. Again, the cult leader had guided someone who chases his pawns to one of the examples. The spy sees the example, not saying a single word as he said to the investigator

“Let’s go, I see no tragedy of seeing a criminal’s hideout”

“Eh, then does it mean this guy is innocent”

“What he did today had caused the people to fear. You think he is still be trusted after this”

The investigator picks out his cigarette, snapping his finger to create a light, with it on his lips and blow magic content from his breath. He joins him to the headquarter.

The Perb and Ironno were able to escape. Along they brought two captives as they left. Outside of the city, and the dusty fog stings heavily among the three citizens. Col was blown away after the fight, and probably saved by other defectors. The Perb is smiling on her face as her clothes except the rune braces burned off from the dust. The magic scroll keeps her figure strong. Ironno lays them on the ground, uses his scroll to terraform and turned where they lied down into a burrow.

“Go right ahead, and explain to me after you found out something”

“You mean I can do the thing”

“Will Azin stop you?”

“No, but. I forgot he is the one who stopped me. Laugh!”

A sweet melodic feminine voice comes to close to the awaken two, Playah! and Shotbot. The horror they will be facing, and the life they could not move on like this. After that day, the cult leader couldn’t trace those two ever again. This is the first time, an Enders dared to fight against his organization. Whispers to his own curiosity, letting go those two people to their fate.

“This will suffice, and I thought Enders won’t be able to kill them. I was wrong, those two died. Like the rest of the gang members who faced U’ecin. And you, you need to get back your shrunken head . . .”

His telepathy reaches to Col,

“. . . I have get rid your team for you. Now get rid who are Azin’s enemies. Betray them according to my orders”

Col sits down on the table with the other defectors. Mentioning that Playah! and Shotbot are dead. The look of their eyes finally put a grin to their faces. Col couldn’t believe they get rid of them so quickly

“The demons’ chosen ones are dead. Why of all people they could think doing actually nothing and standing around made them stronger?”

“We did it too, finally we have someone to get rid those guys for us. Last week was humiliating enough”

Col adjusted his body as the cracks sounding of wooden sticks “Still, I need my own sacrifices”

The shakes of his broken shrunken head still wanting sacrifice to be revive.

The head security finally caught Azin. The report was extraordinary, and more importantly outstanding results. She will not believe to hear the realms to be easily destroyed. The second time is a different case, but this one. It is more dangerous than she would’ve thought. This is the same feeling like last week. The fools to uprise against the doubles and the awakening of the low lives. The suspect is there under the questions of her trusted staff, a spy to the cult leader, and the female staff joined along the investigation.

“Let’s go straight to the point here”

“Hey! Don’t be hasty. We are apprehended a man who fought a realm all by himself”

“Yeah, I know you were taken to the side of the investigation but we . . .”

The spy slams his hand on the table “That’s enough, last week I was the one who is going to deal up front while you guys are handling the small fries. It took me weeks to get this evidence done before they keep updating it”

“You! This man is the sole reason how the people are opening up. What we have seen now, he actually proved his judgement. Taken down evil”

The spy loses it and uses his powers. Azin suppresses him down as the floating object appeared and casts the spells on the man’s abilities. Affectively, and he puts him to his place.

“Amazing, even you are locked up. You can still help us. I expect no less the man who set their judgement. Now, let’s take him away and we are sorry what’s happening”

“It’s fine, I deserve much more from what I made a mistake”

The spy was kicked out from the room, feeling the magic flows on him as his UI and his other magic abilities are locked.

The head security claps his bold presentation. “I also expect no less to my trusted staff”

“I have given you all the suspecting activities he can do”

“Indeed, and you sacrifice your abilities to get it out, but we have the technology to handle it. You mustn’t act harshly to our potential ally”

“I understand, I apologized. I’m still in lost to understand what that man is”

“How come?”

“It is like he is drawing out attention to him. It is the same tactics that the cult leader is doing. I thought this act repeats itself”

The head security rings her head to remember the rise of Bokushi Hidari. Yet, this time she already knew, and hopes the staff right in front of her understands. Her people are too wanting to be saved from this city.
