What am I some floating eye thing? uhg Oh! wait lets have look at this late piece of myself approaching....    Its watery? ok so im a transparent ball? ok im thinking If I can pull myself together can I split?  

The transparent ball hadn't noticed it had saved two adventurers from certain death for it had landed directly on the forests tyrant DeadEnd at mach 40, poor hulking 15 foot 16 armed variant of the monster called Goreilla, meeting DeadEnd was a death sentence for every fresh adventure even hardened parties would attempt to avoid it not that all this matters now that DeadEnd as strong as it was had now just been turned into a pancake by our transparent friend 

1 hour beforehand

60 minutes tactical Blob inbound

A group of adventurers are hunting goreilla's in a massive forest filled with overgrown tree's

???? : Today's the day I propose to Cait *deep breath* stay focused leon

Leon is 26 this year and has survived 10 years of being an adventurer along with Catherine who's also 26 they were born the same year and had always played together until they became adventurers at 16 together and set off with his best friend who was 21 years old and had saved him in a tight spot when he was 12 they both fought a DireWolf that killed his best friends sister, Samuel has gotten past his hate with time but was glad he had gotten revenge with leons help and decided he owed him

Someone speaks outside the tent

????????? : Leon? are you ready? We've met our quota for today! 

Leon exits the tent

Leon : Ok Is everyone else ready?

Leons best friend replied first

?????? : Ready lets head home! Leon the milk maid is calling my name!

Leon : alright Samuel,Catherine tell the others we are heading home

Leon was a fighter of the group his job was hardly easy but it had 3 steps 1 help the the tank bring down foes  2 dont die 3 save anyone in trouble by being a sub tank. Leon has had a few close calls last year and decided he'd try to settle down with cait the healer 

As they were heading home something was hunting them....      They're mage spoke up

Nigel : Uh guys something strong is following us and I sense hostility...

Catherine : How strong?

Nigel : We need to run strong...

The party had paced themselves slower to not tip off whatever it was after them then found a clearing then exchanged knowing glances

!!They immediately started sprinting!!

Leon : Its DeadEnd!? everyone drop your goreilla meat and run faster

Catherine : But the quot-

Samuel : Cait do as he says or we will not live to make another trip here or anywhere  DeadEnds a cannibal and might deem its kin a better meal

Samuel said with a grim expression and everyone dropped the meat while running

40 minutes before tactical Blob 

Nigel the mage had very little stamina and began to get left back and with tears in his eye's he stopped running and set a barrier 

Leon : Nigel! What are you doing!?

Nigel : Leave me! I'll hold it off 

Nigel summoned a few rock golems and made a few rune traps around the area as he drank a mana potion

Leon : No we c-

Samuel : No we cant we are only rank B adventures we'd give it a headache at best and the man has gathered the resolve to buy us time keep running Leon!!

Catherine : But he'll die! 

KaboooOOOOOOOM 

........ 30 minutes tactical Blob inbound 

 Samuel : We will all die he knew this and has decided to buy us time we cannot defeat DeadEnd there is *huff* no chance *huff* damnit...

Samuel stops running and drinks a stamina potion and turns while holding his battle axe

Leon : NO not you too sam w we can make it 

Samuel : Leon you take care of Catherine live or die this is my debt to you go start a family and tell the milkmaid I love her glorious figure and shining soul and my will is that she receives all that I own so she can help her little sister and herself 

Catherine : SA-

ROOOOOOOAAAR

Samuel : GO NOW!!  

*Crash!* a giant shadow jumps at Samuel and he kicks its groin ! it groans and takes a knee but then Samuel smashes the side of it head with his great axe but it breaks from the collision and knocks DeadEnd over sending him rolling 

urrrrrrhhhhh uuurrrrrrrhhh

Samuel : heHaHAhA not so tough now that your purse been kicked are ye? get up beast the milkmaid is calling my name and I've places to be ya?

DeadEnd starts to grow its extra set of arms rip out and it doubles in size?

Samuel : HAVE AT YE BEAST!!!!

Samuels destroyed battle axe is thrown in its face and Samuel tackles DeadEnds knees, still weakend from the sack tap  its knees give way and Samuels tackle sends them both down hill as they exchange blows while rolling

20 minutes tactical Blob inbound 

Back to leon and Catherine

Catherine : Leon Samuel was your best friend!!

They both stop and Leon pulls out two rings made of a dragons mana solidify'd Leon received them from his parents before they passed they were S ranked adventurers and died adventuring leaving Leon alone Catherine was the only thing that stopped Leon from entering the forest to die and her happiness and comfort gave him a will a purpose and someone to cherish 

Catherine :  Leon!? but these are...

Catherine who was openly crying 

Catherine : Till death do us part

ROAAAR

10 minutes tactical Blob inbound 

Leon drew his sword and readied his shield with the resolve to kill everything and anything that appeared from the defenses he set up in the cave the took shelter in 

Leon : Catherine..... do not move from your hiding spot

Catherine : BUT L-

Leon : CAIT PLEASE!?

Catherine:....... let me do this atleast

Catherine casted every buff she knew on Leon and fell silent in thee hole Leon had made and covered with low teir earth magic

BANG BANG ROOAR  BOOOM

as the defenses gave way Leon immediately struck first taking its eye with his blade the size of the small cave forced it to enter while badly hunched

GROAAAHH F FFF GRRROOOAR

DeadEnd had found them and they were in a deadend 

Leon : .....

Eye's colder then a souless lich king Leon blonde yellow hair glowed as his blue eyes glazed in white his body 10 times stronger,faster...better  Leon whispered one phrase

Leon : last stand .  .  .

Time slowed as he took 3 of DeadEnds many arms while continually bashing DeadEnd he kept going and pushing DeadEnd back outside while blood seeped out his armour from the backlash of last stand 

A heal comes from behind a tree and DeadEnd finds frail prey and immediately turns to Catherine a mistake 

Leon : you *slash* will *Bash* NOT HARM *CLASH* HER!!!!  rrrRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

at this moment all of Leons life force was used to unlock his mothers and fathers special ability's.....

Godsbane and Devils Due  

Godsbane was his fathers it allowed him to surpass anything but it was known for only lasting a few minutes

Devils Due was his mothers it granted the user the ability to endlessy absorb others life force and replenishment their own or an allies

DeadEnd an S class monster assumed this would be an easy hunt and became serious its bones started ripping out its body as a second layer of armour its arm and eye grew back and eight extra armss tore out it body clad in bone 

As they fought Leons sword and shield couldn't handle the battle and shattered so he used his fists 

DeadEnd smahed each side of Leons shoulders with 8 arms at once and his aura completely disappeand Leon fell to his knee's 

His body couldn't handle the power and was now failing to work as life slowly left him he saw Cait holding him in her lap crying his eyes started closing 

Leon : forgive me catherine run leave me .  .  .

5 minutes till tactical blob

He was deaf for his ear had long bursted from DeadEnds roars but he read her lips

Catherine : You cant go leon YOU CANT 

DeadEnd : hehahaaaaaHA 

A deep voice boomed as Catherine laid a healing spell on leon and stood between the two

DeadEnd : YES FIIIGHT ME HUMAN WHAT POWER WHAT ENERGY THE BLOODLUST YE-

Catherine : He cant!

DeadEnd : What?

Catherine : Please SPARE HIM he cant fight anymore...

DeadEnd : Then he will die I will mate you on his corpse soon child you will bear me strong children whom I will consume as well as you after say 6 batches yes now move aside child

Catherine : NO!!!!!! SANCTUARY 

A barrier fuelled by a god that favored Catherine came from the sky and surrounded her and Leon 

DeadEnd : hoh?..... I was correct you will bear VERY strong children I shall keep you till your body stops producing now thank you for this knowledge I almost let you off too soon pet

Catherine felt a strong sense come over her as she was possessed by one of the greatest mages from a distant plane

Catherine : ..u s... .o. .a..

3

DeadEnd : What was that? sorry I couldn't hear over the sound of this petty shie-

Eyes glowing white hair flowing upwards Catherine Spoke the words of power she received

Catherine : YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!!!

The entire forest shook as if some Great Calamity had been called forth caits mind long lost to the spell

DeadEnd : w WAIT YOU KNOW NOT WHAT YOU CALL STOP I SHALL LEAVE IN PEACE W WAAAAAIT 

!!!!!!!CHAINS OF THE FINAL #@%&₩ WRAPPED DeadEnd!!!!!!!!!!

1

 DeadEnd : YOU MEAN TO SACRIFICE ME!?! YOU WILL BRING THE END TO ALL WITH WHAT YOU CALL FROM THE ABYSS STOOOP

Blood flowed from Catherines eye,ears,mouth and nose as her eyes rolled back and turned black and she rose carried by giant white hands that resembled wings from her back, her hair was blindingly white

###%#'!? : RETURN TO DU-

SPLAT KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

and like that the entire spell was interrupted and canceled out, all the excess energy was spread across the world as a healing ward countless handicapped soldiers,dying children,sick Elders, Retired adventurers are filled with vigor and cured of ailments

All war stopped  at this moment as even the recently deceased rose from deaths door 10 years worth of souls had come home body and all

Leon and Cait were also caught in the blast as well as Samuel and Nigel who were left barely alive due to the fact that DeadEnds sadistic nature drove him to torture his meals while eating so he had saved them for later

Somewhere in a kingdom of darkness

A human woman fell gently into a demon lords arms as he wept endlessly he cradled her in his chest and spoke

Demon Lord : My queen..... my Franz I will protect you properly this time now that you've returned I will see to it that they are wiped off the face of this planet TODAY

Franz : It is that attitude that led to my passing how cruel for me to dream of you my love Damon

King Damon : .   .   .

Queen Franz : You wish to slay all of humanity then I will save you the time to kill me you obviously haven't changed and im still in HELL and now I die again for the second time
