Slowly going through the information, his companion no more than a tool. Sacrificing one, constantly cloning her. A continuous cycle to sustain a monster, this answer before the lion, malevolence exerting from his body.

The Iconoclast in between dimensions looking at the pods, noting a connecting point with Elrich's experiments, her serious vision. Zephyr clenching the documents in his hands, trying to hold in his sorrow. Steadily inhaling and exhaling, rising to his feet. Alicia and Aaron's eyes to him, seeing him facing away from them.

"Rozalin...never again..."

His increasing fury, extending his arm forward. Expanding his hand, darkness concentrating inside of his palm. Closing it into a fist, releasing the malice. Blackness rushing through the room, shattering the many pods, the many bodies falling on the ground. His great anguish, those friends witnessing it.

"I will bring meaning to your end..."Zephyr walking ahead.

Those using a monster to decimate their enemies, continuously cloning and sacrificing someone. These connecting points, Alicia and Aaron thinking on it. This truth before them, that devil in between dimensions witnessing the direction of the king. Her shifting eyes, watching Elrich Velzar, a man proceeding with his plan. That person in his lab, flipping through some pages.

"I must say, this would have taken longer, if I did not get ahold of the summoning process for Valos. Applying this, it made creating a homunculus much easier." His hand to his chin.

A mage not stopping in his direction, seeking to complete this vessel for one. Trampling on countless, selfishly pursuing his path. That image of one in his mind, trying to draw her attention to him. Pushing farther than the last, coming closer to his goal. Elrich walking up to a pod, looking at the experiment within it, his faint smile.

"Not much longer, but it would be nice if you would show up, goddess. No matter, I will force your appearance one way or another." Folding his arms.

Closely watching this individual, his growing danger. That entity weighing the necessity, her sharp vision on him. Shortly returning her attention to the other three, seeing them making their way to the summit. The lion's strong resolve, his clear mission in mind.

The harshly blowing wind, the blood moon high in the sky. That massive airship to the corner, his eyes on Valos. This malefic dragon, darkness burning from his body, hitting his claw against the ground.

"Here you come yet again, bringing two more towards ruin." Valos' calm voice.

"If it means Rozalin's death will have meaning, then fine." Zephyr lowering his head.

Carrying these sentiments, those days from the past still with him. Wanting them again, unable to grasp it. His boiling fury, wishing to give meaning to the demise of his companion. His venture to this point, everything leading up to confronting the god again. His selfish direction, following his heart. Learning more about the situation, his great anger.

"That woman again? Sacrifices are necessary. A single life in exchange for protection." Valos scraping his claw against the land.

Infuriating words to the lion, those memories flowing through him. A person keeping her secret, smiling everyday. Showing him another side to life, containing her sorrow until the last moment. That helpless feeling never leaving him, failing to protect her. This confrontation coming once more, his igniting resolve. Zephyr extending his arm, malice thickly burning from his fist

"A single life? No, she was more than just a single life. Valos, I will make you suffer for the agony you put her through." Glaring at the beast.

"Count us in as well." Alicia walking up to his side.

"Are you sure?" his vision to her.

"If we simply stood by, another will become like her. Even if we destroy her data." Aaron walking up to his other side.

The lion's vision to his left, seeing a thumbs up from the man. Shifting his attention to his right, Alicia faintly smiling at him. One no longer alone in an abyss, two with him. Both willing to run along this dreadful path with him, aiding him towards his goal. The slightly smiling king, these two friends with him. Their attention on the dragon ahead, refusing to remain in silence.

"Will you really damn the world, all for your own selfish desires?" Valos' strict voice on him.

"Desires are what drives the world forward..." Zephyr's calm eyes on the god.

"You are no better than the Iconoclast, I will not let another rise!" sweeping his tail across the land.

Mightily roaring, powerful shockwaves tearing through the area. A great foe before them, that king shielding his companions. Dark energy protecting them, these few standing against their threat. The beast harshly breathing black fire on them, this spreading force.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Pressing back, Alicia dashing away. Sticking her sword into the ground, a strong barrier defending herself and her allies. Souls underneath the bleeding light, their will to oppose their enemy.

Pushing through the assault, Zephyr and Aaron breaking away in different directions. The soldier leaping high, his eyes on his target. That dragon's descending claw, colliding into the lion's fist, their immense force shredding the surroundings.

That man homing in on the deity, striking his spear into his opponent. Those scales protecting the god, scowling at the damage. Pressing down on the beast, immediately leaping away.

A king living with regret for years, his tormenting sorrow. Everything slipping away from him, those summoning a deity from a sacrifice. An experiment coming from her, his boiling blood. Alicia rushing onward, the dragon stepping back.

The shaking area, that foe mightily flapping his wings. Materializing dark energy balls, firing it at the three. Pushing through it, her blade piercing the center. A bright light divinely shining, dispersing the attacks.

Locking onto an opportunity, that king rushing in. Running down his direction, racing in darkness. Those companions with him, another watching. Her soft green eyes, her hands to her chest, brightly smiling.

Leaping high, rendering his palm into the beast's chest. This powerful exertion crashing against his foe, the dragon sliding back on his feet. The lion landing below, his two friends at his side.

"You will damn us all! You who are the embodiment of corruption!" Valos' harsh voice.

Choosing his path, not backing down. Racing towards his desire, awaiting this chance for years. Making countless enemies, many fearing him. Bringing ruin in his presence, selfishly pursuing his path.

Valos ascending above, their eyes on the escaping deity. That lion facing the airship, urging his companions to follow. Far away in the air, the god soaring through the clouds. Needing time, his power still not there in its entirety. Glancing back, witnessing his approaching enemies.

His furious vision, turning in the direction. Flying to them, heavily breathing fire. Inflicting critical damage on the vessel, shortly landing on the airship, smoke rushing everywhere. This chance to end everything, those three friends against the dragon.

"Despicable King of Beasts! Is this how far you will go?! To even endanger your own companions?!" Valos smashing his claw below.

"You are wrong, we chose to come along." Alicia's hand on her waist, her heavy breath.

"Sorry pal, as much as we appreciate your vision. It is a twisted logic." Aaron exhaling.

Their growing fatigue, pursuing a god in the air. A beast setting the ship on fire, those friends pushing forward. These companions to the lion, this king cherishing them.

Individuals going far, running down this black path with him. A faint light at the end of it, his vision on someone from the past. Reaching for her, wanting those old days again. Slowly inhaling and exhaling, the lion walking ahead.

"Let us go, the final battle is on us." Zephyr swinging out his arm.

"A pointless struggle." Valos smashing his tail against the floor.

His constantly haunting nightmares, reliving his failure. Unable to save her, her meaningless end. A piece towards a god, not standing for it. Carrying his hatred for years, his quickly beating heart.

The dragon striking down on him, dark energy radiating from his claw. Alicia dashing in the way, blocking the assault. A powerful shockwave tearing through the area, shaking the surroundings.

"You don't get it, do you? We fight because we are selfish. Through that selfishness, we protect what is dear to us, giving meaning to those who are no longer here..." Alicia's stern vision on her foe.

This rushing breeze against them, the increasing the smoke. Falling pieces from the airship, an intensifying conflict. Three hearts forcing forward, sharing a similar direction. Debris hitting below, Aaron dashing around the obstacles.

Homing in on the dragon, electricity sparking from his spear. That deity raising his tail, sweeping it across the area. Rushing forward, that King grabbing the beast's tail, holding back his enemy.

"Our desires will be heard." Zephyr's cold voice.

Silence for a long time, refusing to remain in it. Opposing their enemy, these three souls riding along in an endless wave. Aaron stabbing through, an intense electrical energy rushing in every direction.

That entity in between dimension witnessing this development, feeling those emotions. The dragon mightily roaring, its negativity crashing down on the area. Those friends trying to resist the assault, an enormous explosion spreading far, the airship suffering more damage.

Alicia on her knee, holding herself up with her sword. Her uncertainty on proceeding, that soldier unconscious behind her. The king standing in front of the deity, remembering that guiding hand long ago.

"King of Beasts, rejoice, your demise will bring forward a flourishing future." Valos' proud voice.

A grim situation, his deep frustration. Waiting a long time for this moment, a god once again nearing their victory. These sentiments within the lion, refusing to give in. Running down his black path, his companions paving this direction. That foe blocking his direction, this terrible obstacle. His trembling gaze, his quickly beating chest.

"Zephyr...!"

This familiar voice to him, his widening vision. Glancing behind in the darkness, someone taking form out of a mesmerizing light. Rozalin standing there on the vessel, her serious vision on him. Constantly believing in him, this individual to her heart. A king coming into her life, making those last moments enjoyable. Yearning for his success, revealing herself to him.

"This must never happen again! Don't give up! You are stronger than this god!" encouraging him.

These words to him, his companion coming to his aid. Watching her steadily fade away, his hand to her. Calling out to her, pleading for her to stay. That person no longer there, her voice resonating inside of him. Lowering his head, his hand to his chest. Shortly facing the dragon, blackness brightly burning from him.

Malevolence stretching far, the Iconoclast watching his path. A king enduring sorrow, carrying this weight with him. Continuously pushing onward, soon revealing himself out of the malice. His proud mane, his body of a lion, layering in gold armor. Alicia's eyes on him, seeing him purely shine.

"Why do you continue to fight? Despicable King of Beasts. Come, your end is nigh!" slamming his claw into the land.

A precious individual from his past, this one coming to his aid, sharing her courage. Carrying these feelings with him, having a final play to make. Everything riding on the line, the King of Beasts before the god. Mightily roaring, his strong echoing voice, this intensity quelling Valos' darkness.

Rushing to the dragon, moving with illusions in his steps. The dragon intensely breathing down malefic fire , this spreading flame. Zephyr evading the attack to his side, immediately striking through the massive beast, colliding powerful assaults with his claw from every direction.
