***Asheim, Embassy***

Enyo starts to sneak forward while I put my armour on. The armour was brought by the small group of warriors which will accompany me on this rescue mission. There are ten of them. Together with me we have eleven people.

When I am ready, I turn towards them. “You all know what to do? Enyo has an emitter which is able to rupture a pathway. She will place herself right next to Aengus and Sharid. As soon as she activates it we go in, take them and take a pathway to get away. No heroic deeds.”

“I will go with you.” Miruliru hops out of her chair.

“You are not armed!” I won't take responsibility if something happens to her.

“I don't need to be! I will just crush that Sphere. It's a golden opportunity.” Miruliru draws two crystal daggers.

“Then I will join too! I can't let a young maiden onto a battlefield without protection.” -Carne

“Tch! Creep!” -Miruliru

“If it's like that I have to join you too.” Chiffre gives us a confident smile.

Suspicious.... If they all want to go into the lions den then ….

But my thoughts get interrupted by Enyo. “Massster! I am under the altar. Ssshould I sssend the sssignal.”

I turn towards the group. “Everyone. Line up and touch me. I will recognize Enyo's signal the easiest. Just follow me onto the pathway.” After a few seconds everyone is ready and I turn towards the screen. “Send the signal Enyo.”

Then I concentrate. A few seconds later I recognize the right pattern on a pathway in the direction of Sharid's homeworld. It's like the pathway is vibrating in a certain frequency.

I enter the pathway and from one moment to the next, I am besides Aengus and Sharid inside the cavern.

The others also appear around me.

I lose no time and grab a bag from my belt. It contains small mana crystals. They are especially made to absorb mana as fast as possible. Each of them has the size of a finger and there are about fifty of them.

By tilting the bag, I pour the content into the air where the crystals start to float. They are held by telekinesis and they are my new ammunition against those things.

The first demon who starts to move after our appearance gets a crystal directly between the eyes. It drops like having it's strings cut. Mwahaha! No more instant healing!

“We can't use the pathway!” A guard with Aengus over his shoulder gives me an alarming information.

“It's a trap!” Carne kicks a rock into the maw of an approaching demon which starts to get a couching fit.

“The Sphere has to be the source of the dampening field! There are no other possible sources here!” Chiffre points at the Sphere and starts to charge into its direction.

I send two of my crystals at the sphere, but they get blocked by the bigger demon while a flood of smaller ones starts to pour into the cavern.

The big monster must be some updated version. It smacked the crystals out of the air like nothing.

Two of my guards start to attack the accesses to the cavern with attack magic. They know that the demons won't be hindered for long by it. But killing the demons wasn't their intention. With a rumble, the entrances cave in and stop the flood of demons.

Chiffre reaches the big demon which is guarding the Sphere and gives it a thundering blow with his mechanical arm.

But again, the monster is unimpressed and sends Chiffre flying with a swipe of it's claw.

Everyone is occupied with at least five demons. I never wanted to be in such a melee fight again, but there is no choice.

I deal with the small fry by sending my crystals via telekinesis into them and advance towards the big monster.

We have to deal with the Sphere and escape fast. Sealing the exits can be only a temporary solution.  If the demons free them of the rubble we will be overrun.

And there is still the possibility of a cave in. It's not like ….... yeaaah... why... not? I look up towards the stalactites at the ceiling. Previously they didn't enter my mind.

The big demon has its full concentration on me now. But I don't need to alarm it by using my crystals.

A little push and *Crack!*

*CRUSH*

I loosened a stalactite above the demon and it was compressed into an ugly looking mush. I may have added a little too much power while the big chunk of rock was falling downwards. Without any further hindrances, I crush the Sphere with my crystals.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Throwing a stalactite at the sphere would have had no effect. The crystals are harder than any metal. It would have been like throwing feathers at a rock.

“It's gone! Get out of here.” I scream through the cavern.

My group starts to disappear one by one. The guards with Aengus and Sharid make their exit first while the other guards grab every mortal who still looks alive and take them with them.

“Yyyou won't beee so lucky forrever! We will eat you!!!”

The crushed demon to my feet gives me a few nice parting words? Eeww... it's already starting to heal. “Sorry. Maybe some other time.” I send a crystal between it's eyes to kill it.

After I confirm that everyone is gone and nobody is left inside the cavern, I take a pathway back towards Asheim.

***

“It's mine!”

“No! We have to free her!”

“This is a technological wonder! A soul inside non-living matter! This has to be researched!”

“It's a person! And no research object!”

“You don't understand! This is the greatest discovery since the dawn of creation!”

“Ask the perverted creator!”

“It's against the pride of every scientist to be taught by someone else!”

“Let go!”

“Never!”

“Massster! Ssssave me! I will rip!”

I watch with a bored expression while Miruliru and Chiffre are using Enyo to play pull the rope. For real... they are like little children. “Did you two ever think about asking Enyo what she wants?”

“Massster! Give me permission to ussse the Ssssecret weaponssss!”  -Enyo

Whatever. It's only self-defence. “Fine....”

*Splurt*

*Slip* “Waaah!” “Eewww!”

Suddenly Enyo sprayed Miruliru and Chiffre with an oily substance and slipped out of their grasp. Chiffre fell on his butt while Miruliru barely managed to keep standing. Now she is sliding hastily towards me and wraps around my left leg.

“Massster. I didn't believe it. But the lubricant isss a very ussseful sssecret weapon!” -Enyo

“Come back here Enyo! We have to get a proper body for you. I will search for a good reincarnation.” Miruliru stretches a hand towards Enyo.

“I am fffine. No need for another body. Massster made very good work.” Enyo flatly refuses Mirulirus offer.

“Why? How can this be!” Miruliru slides to the ground besides Chiffre.

“Like I said. Enyo's soul was ravaged and twisted like nothing I have ever seen. If I wouldn't have helped, it would have taken a few million years until she starts to work properly again. But even for me it was hard to repair something with so many parts missing. I spliced the soul of a snake into her for stabilization until she heals on her own. That's why she prefers this body for the moment. And before you ask. I used a snake because I needed a weak soul which couldn't overpower Enyo. And because it was fun.” I give them a short explanation while grinning.

“You managed that with two souls...” Chiffre starts to drool on the floor. That guy is becoming creepier with every invention of mine he gets to see.

“What? Like the dem....” -Miruliru

But I interrupt Miruliru “Nooo. Not at all. I am not an idiot! I know my handicraft. The souls aren't fused together. They just complement each other. When Enyo's soul is healed properly they will divide on their own.”

“I like my body. And ssserving the missstresss.” Enyo confirms my explanation.

Miruliru drops to the ground as if she has given up while Chiffre starts to write some notes.

I turn back towards the tactical situation on the screen. At least I could save Aengus and Sharid. From the looks of it they took no permanent damage.

But if I look at our situation.... “I wonder if the multiverse will take permanent damage....”
