A chilling voice cut through the smoky air.
165Please respect copyright.PENANA5H8MvQVSL2
"I found Princess Lilith!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAODj5eN8v1h
Eleo and Lilith whipped their heads toward the source. A tall, grotesque demon with sharp horns and glowing red eyes grinned at them from the ruined street.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAuDeTKsPMlL
Lilith’s face paled. "Oh no…"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAjEcf0PoR96
Then—more demons appeared. Dozens. Crawling out from behind destroyed buildings, rising from the debris, perching on rooftops.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAqtM95x0qbE
"There she is!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANADLpUnxcJGK
"Kill her!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAXkgP3rAw2F
The mob charged forward.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAJwakm9RkGo
Lilith instinctively took a step back, her breath catching in her throat. She was ready to bolt—until a firm hand grabbed hers.
165Please respect copyright.PENANA8NDzGcVNx6
Eleo grinned confidently. "Don’t worry, Lilith! I got this!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAgPyQ6p4yFU
Lilith snapped out of her panic. "You?! Against all of them?!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAloKpAQBm3u
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Pfft, easy."
165Please respect copyright.PENANAa7aLujpJ3L
THE BATTLE BEGINS!
165Please respect copyright.PENANAi4QBZLaVbt
"INK BARRAGE!!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAwutJiDmkEP
Eleo lunged forward, throwing rapid-fire punches at the nearest demons. His fists turned into ink, stretching and morphing like liquid steel as they pummeled the enemies.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAy1KK9Po0QW
BAM! BAM! BAM!
165Please respect copyright.PENANATrihNw485h
A demon flew backward, crashing into a building. Another spun through the air before slamming into the ground.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAQaVUOSoWcF
One demon leapt at Eleo from behind—
165Please respect copyright.PENANAxCSBqM0n1F
Eleo teleported. Vanishing in a blink.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAIrOtysegw7
The demon looked around, confused. "Wha—"
165Please respect copyright.PENANALahssQRRc8
Eleo reappeared in the air above him.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAozEZhwTQcq
CLAP!
165Please respect copyright.PENANA7YTHXLWQf8
Eleo smashed his palms together, transforming both hands into a massive cannon.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAb5mHDUQga7
"INK CANNON!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANA03LoATTmv1
A huge ink projectile shot out, blasting the demon off his feet and sending him skidding across the ground like a skipping stone.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAVgsBR1jQxQ
Eleo landed with a goofy grin. "Hah! Too easy!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANA0Kq5KXDwWz
Lilith watched in stunned silence. "He’s… actually winning?"
165Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ha0tQy7z6
The demons, now angrier, swarmed him.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAo4ygBiujVQ
Eleo smirked. "Oh, you want more?"
165Please respect copyright.PENANA079Ycy7ClL
His hands shifted, ink morphing into a pair of massive hammers.
165Please respect copyright.PENANA6CNutf11be
"INK HAMMER SLAM!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAdN4IwrBYXp
Eleo leapt up and swung both hammers down, creating a shockwave that shook the entire town.
165Please respect copyright.PENANALWh2MC7jPw
BOOOOM!
165Please respect copyright.PENANA1cWfMdPlEz
The ground cracked beneath him, sending demons flying like ragdolls.
165Please respect copyright.PENANA8l72tdhYbU
Lilith blinked. "This idiot… is actually strong?!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANA5j9OmHvaTI
A straggler tried to run—
165Please respect copyright.PENANAEzHXkUKjBk
SNAP!
165Please respect copyright.PENANAMl5dGEX0AE
Eleo lashed out with an ink rope, wrapping it around the demon’s ankle and yanking him back.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAFsF8hrur9n
WHAM! The demon faceplanted into the ground.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAv7yEAC82QI
Eleo grinned, holding the last struggling demon up by the collar. "Okay, jerk—why’d you attack Burger Town?"
165Please respect copyright.PENANA0QbuwH0nOj
The demon groaned, eyes spinning. "Ugh… assassination mission…"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAVpAKPUMMCm
Lilith tensed. "They were trying to kill me?"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAoXDYRCBorI
The demon chuckled weakly. "Lucky guess… but when you didn’t show up, we decided to wreck the place instead."
165Please respect copyright.PENANAs0fGmlFk2q
Lilith scowled. "Because I was kidnapped by that damn DuDu bastard."
165Please respect copyright.PENANA1kZ1Ll5CMk
The demon smirked. "Also… your father’s furious that you ran away."
165Please respect copyright.PENANAuC7gugo3o8
Lilith crossed her arms. "Of course, he is."
165Please respect copyright.PENANA1bFddSXTlT
Eleo scratched his head. "Wait, wait, wait—I'm confused."
165Please respect copyright.PENANA2y9jX7Eca6
Lilith sighed. "It’s simple. I was supposed to find some prince to marry. Didn’t want to, so I ran away to this world, disguised myself, and lived normally. Then DuDu kidnapped me, and now we’re here."
165Please respect copyright.PENANA1Bg61SmJvl
Eleo nodded slowly. "Ohhh, okay! That makes sense!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAQKSrJ0mKip
Lilith stared at him. "No, it doesn’t. At all."
165Please respect copyright.PENANAD8wz0Vj7aR
THE KNIGHT ARRIVES!
165Please respect copyright.PENANAtb0XVb5g9z
Before the conversation could continue—
165Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0pfnhkqf0
A portal tore open in the sky, rippling with dark energy.
165Please respect copyright.PENANA0ht20CzTHo
BOOM.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAuuOfeakhMJ
A tall figure stepped through.
165Please respect copyright.PENANA5uAfGmM235
His jagged black armor shimmered with an unnatural light, crimson eyes glowing menacingly beneath a dragon-shaped helmet.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAKHyOXIunMl
The air grew heavier.
165Please respect copyright.PENANANYD04qYO4I
Lilith groaned. "Oh great… Iron."
165Please respect copyright.PENANAKBI7eCECcU
The knight’s voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority. "Miss Lilith. There you are."
165Please respect copyright.PENANABHF3kdj9W6
Eleo squinted at him. "Dang, bro, you look so cool."
165Please respect copyright.PENANAhr7EGMHJI1
Lilith rolled her eyes. "Iron, this demon tried to assassinate me. Can you take him in for questioning?"
165Please respect copyright.PENANA4lLxk7Zv67
Iron glanced at the demon struggling in Eleo’s grasp.
165Please respect copyright.PENANACtvR8X3O7E
"Yes, ma’am."
165Please respect copyright.PENANAcC3gjbkt7V
Without hesitation, he grabbed the demon by the throat, lifting him effortlessly.
165Please respect copyright.PENANALk0QBks6Ko
The demon gulped. "I-I ain’t saying nothing!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAcasj9LVayS
Iron tilted his head. "Oh, you will."
165Please respect copyright.PENANAY0efjla0Iq
The demon shivered. "...I suddenly feel very talkative."
165Please respect copyright.PENANA9KbQnxc2Oi
Iron turned to Lilith. "Say your goodbyes."
165Please respect copyright.PENANAyCdtdAqqN1
Lilith hesitated. She glanced at Eleo, rubbing her arm. "...I can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I’ll miss you."
165Please respect copyright.PENANAOfPJGwDYs8
Eleo grinned. "I’ll miss you too, Lilith!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAbgk1kIkZyS
Lilith bit her lip, hesitated… then scoffed.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAqJc4PvfVcq
"Screw it."
165Please respect copyright.PENANA59qWd0DC7i
She ran forward, grabbed Eleo’s shirt—
165Please respect copyright.PENANAGQQX1FedgB
—and kissed him on the cheek.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAu2ppfGG5Uh
Eleo froze.
165Please respect copyright.PENANA68aSuFi1Dv
Lilith turned bright red, spun around, and sprinted through the portal.
165Please respect copyright.PENANA2BvmxnJKeS
FWOOOOSH.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAHrY1eeMqCm
The portal vanished.
165Please respect copyright.PENANA3az64eeaHG
Eleo stood there, blinking. He touched his cheek. "...Huh."
165Please respect copyright.PENANAZU2Q96denF
He grinned. "I knew she liked me!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAZvQfQ7fa7l
Eleo took a deep breath, surveying the aftermath of the battle. The once-lively streets of Burger Town were reduced to smoldering rubble, with eerie silence replacing the usual hustle and bustle. He carefully stepped over the debris, peeking into broken buildings. What he saw made his stomach twist—lifeless bodies, frozen in their final moments of terror. His ears drooped.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAaVUKNs5sd6
"Nope. Nope, nope, nope!" Eleo muttered, backing away. He shut his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to shake off the sinking feeling in his chest.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAXCRZDxeaum
Just then, something caught his eye—a tattered map, barely clinging to the remains of a scorched wooden board. He picked it up, shaking off the ashes. Half of it was destroyed, but one destination was still legible: Lola Island. The rest of the map was completely useless.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAVBexBzddwD
Eleo exhaled, shoulders slumping. "Alright then… Lola Island it is."
165Please respect copyright.PENANADAm5ZJtQKU
Before leaving, he turned back to the wreckage of Burger Town. He took a deep bow, lowering his head in respect.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAkPmA4CjMEb
"I'm sorry I couldn't make it in time to save you all," he said softly. "I hope you're all having a nice time in heaven… and that they got good burgers up there."
165Please respect copyright.PENANAfYsJwelbNc
With that, he made his way to the docks. Most of the boats were nothing but splinters, wrecked beyond repair. Only one remained—small, rickety, and barely floating.
165Please respect copyright.PENANA8hLLtnPZnY
Eleo let out a dry chuckle. "Hah! Just like my other boat! This brings back memories… of almost drowning."
165Please respect copyright.PENANAgwXqkLIDue
He hopped aboard and grabbed the oars. As he began rowing, he started singing—loud, off-key, and completely making up the lyrics as he went.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAufnfhRSl8S
"Row, row, row the boat~! To Lola we will go~! Hope there’s food and not some dude, trying to break my bones!~"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAj2SF2j87qq
After hours of rowing (and a few naps in between), Eleo’s boat finally bumped against solid ground. He groggily sat up, rubbing his eyes.
165Please respect copyright.PENANApcy3YAiErg
"Alright! Land! Let’s see what Lola Island—" He blinked. "—HUH?!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAVWI1xOo4Rw
Instead of a welcoming town, there was nothing but a massive, dense forest. Towering trees stretched endlessly in every direction, their thick canopies blocking out most of the sunlight. The air was humid, and the distant calls of strange animals echoed through the trees.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAD4Sbp1Bw3j
"Aww man! I was hoping for a town with food!" Eleo groaned, hopping out of the boat. His stomach rumbled in agreement. "Guess I gotta walk... again."
165Please respect copyright.PENANALr04pIb2pS
After a few minutes of trekking through the woods, he stumbled upon a dirt pathway. His ears perked up. "Huh? A road? That’s a good sign! Roads mean people, and people mean food! And... probably trouble. But mostly food!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAeFnV0sUGf5
He followed the path, humming to himself, until the trees thinned out, revealing something far beyond anything he expected.
165Please respect copyright.PENANA0QAFuu5Cys
His jaw nearly hit the ground.
165Please respect copyright.PENANA2YwJzJIpK7
"WHOA!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAMtEPRiiI7N
Far in the distance stood a breathtaking city—massive, circular, and surrounded by shimmering water. Long bridges stretched across the waves, connecting the mainland to the fortress-like metropolis. Towering walls wrapped around the city’s perimeter, standing tall and unyielding, as if daring anyone to challenge its defenses. Inside, countless buildings filled the space, with one grand white castle piercing the sky, its elegant structure dominating the skyline.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAFS9FtL2QuS
The scene was framed by rolling green hills, vibrant forests, and towering mountains in the far distance. The sun cast golden reflections across the water, making the whole place look like something out of a legend.
165Please respect copyright.PENANAIeMRDVHWEh
Eleo took a deep breath, staring in awe. "Man… this place looks important. And important places mean important people. And important people have food!" He pumped his fists. "Alright, let’s go!!"
165Please respect copyright.PENANAevm1QEvlwT
His stomach growled loudly. He laughed awkwardly. "...After I find something to eat first."
