The black sky, filled with dark clouds as the raindrops silence the island.
The storms clashed as thunder strikes, with the 3-meter ogre growling as he stands in front of Alice.
"Go into the cave" She speaks to the others. She walked towards the demon with a confident smile.
Eric and the others had no choice but to listen. His body smashed by the ogre, he knows how powerful the ogre is. Sarah who used up all her magic and Hana being a priest, they will only get in Alice's way. At this moment, if Alice cannot win against the ogre. Who knows what will happen. The hopes are low. In their memories, Alice only struggled with the red lizardman a couple days ago.
"You better be strong." Her victorious voice reaches the ears of the ogre.
He growled at Alice, causing fear towards those behind Alice. The ogre swings his club directly at Alice. The massive pressure of wind breezed through her hair as she leaps backwards just barely dodging the club. She rose her spear as she charges forward waving the tips of her weapon against the ogre's legs, only, managing to scratch the skin.
The ogre rose his fist and smashes forwards against Alice, the massive impact of wind came with the fist as Alice sidesteps and dances around. Striking his back with her spear. The green beast turned his body and smashes Alice with his right hook. Unable to dodge this one, she retracted the spear guarding the enormous fist with her weapon. Alice was forced to step back with the immense pressure as the steel spear breaks apart into halves.
She held the halves in her hands, like two short poles, instead of one spear.

The green ogre growls into the sky. Lightning clashes once more as the ominous wind became more destructive. The feathers scattered into the air as if it was blown away with his vibrations.
Little drops of blood bleeding from the ogre, his rampaging red eyes stared at Alice as if he was enraged. Alice threw her weapons into his eyes but it was easily repelled with his arms.
The monster roared once more but this time directly at Alice, forcing herself to cover her eardrums.
Eric and the gangs' faces sadden, not able to do anything only made them more depressed. Hana closed her eyes as she held her hands together. Praying that somehow they will survive this.
Alice immediately closed her eyes as she chants " - Athena -"
White space of nothingness appeared in her vision. There was only one puzzle piece instead of millions this time. Just as she needed. A method that will make her strong enough to fight on equal standards against the ogre. The glass puzzle piece revolves itself around Alice as she taps into the voice of Athena.
"The greater your powers, the greater your responsibilities." The majestic voice echoes the room before she exits the white space.
The white dimension disappears as Alice opens her eyes once again. She grins as she rose her right hand into the sky. The black skies darken, even more, the clouds all came together, as thunder and lightning both clashed with the pouring rain.
- Divine Gathering: Spirit of the Five Deities -
Five different particles of matter shaped as beasts came from the sky in five directions reaching into Alice's right hand. Azure Blue of the East, Vermillion Red from the south, Blankless White of the West, Chaos Black from the North and Golden Yellow right above.
Forming an obsidian halberd into her hands. Angelic white feathers surrounded her as she walks into the ogre's scream. Each footstep taken slowed the time within her, she rosed her golden halberd and spins it against the ogre's left foot as she dances to his back. With another slice on to his back, she dances further as she cuts off the left arm leaving the ogre screaming in pain.
The ogre falls tipping over but supporting himself with his remaining hand. He lifts himself up as his rampaging red eyes screamed with violent as he swings his bone-made club against Alice. She deflected the club and broke it in pieces with her halberd. She charges forward as the ogre loses balance. The spear stabs into his heart, breaking the mana-core he has. The ogre stood still as if he was dead with his eyes wide open. Alice pulls her weapon out, believing that he has died.
The moment she turned to her back reaching for the cave. The ogre rose his right hand, with this last breath.
"The ogre!" Eric shouted as he wants to warn Alice, but it was too late.
The 3-meter green demon grasped his fist, putting every pressure into that final smash. Alice quickly turned her body and rose her halberd for protection as the massive fist impacted her, blasting her into the air, with her body smashing into the boulders of the cave.
Her eyes wavered as he spatters blood from her mouth, losing conscious with the ogre falling onto the ground with no breaths remaining.

Alice woke up only to see a young woman in white dress waiting for her groom to come through the main entrances. "Athen..a?" Alice stunned herself in wonder, as she realizes, she is in one of Athena's memories.
