The Void Entity Saga

Part 8

Sylvi: Only one way to find out!

Yomi: Everyone, follow us! We need to get to safety as soon as possible! *Rushes onto the next level*

*As they continue to travel further down into the Sakura Dungeon, they can only hope that the spell worked as they pass through several more levels until reaching a level with walls built like a Japanese shrine*

Yomi: My old level... No time to get nostalgic. We have to-

Ceri: Uhh...

Sylvi: *Smiles* Looks like it did work.

Yomi: It worked? *Turns around*

*Yomi turns around and sees a pleasing sight of several more monster girls who roam the level now standing Infront of them with several different resources in hand*

Yomi: It worked perfectly Sylvi!

Vesta: Heh. That elf can sure perform some spells.

Sylvi: Now let's see if it affected the rest of the other floors-

*The walls around them began to shake once more*

Yomi: Ngh! No good! The barrier won't hold for much longer!

Monk: I rigged the barrier with an explosive spell with the same magnitude. The beasts who are attacking the barrier would be destroyed once they destroy the barrier.

Yomi: Good thinking there. You planned ahead. That's good.

Ceri: Uhh Y-Yomi we have a bit of a dilemma.

Vesta: Huh? What could that be?

Yomi: What could that be Ceri?

Ceri: Wouldn't you agree that our group is very, well, crowded?

Yomi: Yes I am aware of that. Yet, I want to protect as many of my subordinates as possible. Maybe it's a mistake, but I wish to live with and die with my subordinates.

Ceri: Hey! We're not gonna die! Don't be so negative!

Yomi: I know we will. It will only be a matter of time before Mike saves us all and brings the fallen back.

*A loud explosion then shakes the walls of the floor*

Monk: Not good. The barrier has been breached. While the explosion stalled many, don't expect it to take too long for them to reach us.

Yomi: I know that much. Quickly. Let's move while we have the headstart.

*The large group then continues moving on until they reach a large room*

Yomi: *Barges into the room* Ryuuou!

Ryuuou: Eh? What is it? Is it about the disturbance in the surface? Hm???

Yomi: This is no laughing matter. It's serious.

Ryuuou: I know it is. But eh, it's not my problem.

Ceri: Come on, there must be a way we can convince you!

Sylvi: Come on, don't hinder us anymore than you already are!

Ryuuou: *Sighs* Your all so persistent in what you have to do. Fine. *Stands up* Tatsu, Yori, come to your master please.

*No response*

Ryuuou: Huh? What could be happening?

*A golden portal opens up behind her and a black and white dragon head with a very long and now very spiky neck exits it*

E-8: Looking for these two? *Opens it's mouth and spits out Tatsu and Yori who are both covered in a black and white substance which sends the two flying into the wall* Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt them like that. Let me help you join them. *Rushes forward and swallows Ryuuou before spitting her out and sending her body flying beside Tatsu and Yori* There... all back together... And will be together...

*The black and white substance begins to melt the three of them and merge them together causing them to form an amalgamation to melted bodies covered in black and white*

E-8: Have fun killing your allies miss Dungeon Lord... *Laughs evilly before slinking away and causing the golden portal to vanish*

Yomi: Y-You... *Stares at the amalgamation* N-No... Y-You are still in there right..?

*The amalgamation starts to slowly move itself towards them*

Ceri: Yomi, I don't know what to say...

Vesta: You two! Get back! Step away from it! She's not the same as she was!

Yomi: No... I-I failed to save someone again... S-she was right Infront of me...

Ceri: Yomi! Stop it please! You don't have to take the blame yourself! *Pulls her away*

Yomi: No! No! We can save her! We can bring her back ourselves!

*Loud rumbling can then be felt from the floors underneath them*

Sylvi: W-what the- I-I can't sense anything...

Vesta: Hell ya mean by that!?

Ceri: What do you mean by that Sylvi?

Sylvi: It's as off everyone just lost their power sources right now-

Yomi: But, without a single hint of their power sources, that means they're all- *Her eyes widen as she falls to her knees in despair as she trembles in terror and fear* N-N-No... No way...

Ceri: T-they're all dead..!?

Vesta: How is that possible!?

Sylvi: It's as if they all vanished in an instant.

Ceri: What the hell could be fast enough to even have a chance of doing that!?

*In the Abyss*

E-5: I wonder if this is really necessary... *Splits the head of an abyssal demon in half with his axe* It doesn't feel like it. *Throws the corpse aside and stares at the pile of corpses* Eh, this triggers a bad memory of sorts... *Shakes his head*

Emma: Oi! So you've been the one causing all the troubles here! *Brings her giant axe down on E-5*

E-5: Huh? I heard that espionage is about stealth. But this isn't stealth. *Moves out of the way before kicking Emma in the torso with so much force that it turns her into a bloody puddle which splats onto the wall* So that's why E-8 told me to just use the axe...

Ella: *Appears under E-5 and slashes at E-5*

E-5: What the- *Moves out of the way* I didn't see that coming. *Takes Emma's axe out of the wall*

Ella: You use the weapon of my sister who you just killed... I'll never forgive you. *Rushes towards E-5*

E-5: It's much bigger than normal! *Swings the axe and hits Ella with enough force it splits her in half*

Ella: *Vomits out blood* Sister... *Lands on the floor* forgive me... We have failed again... And failed for the last time... *Closes her eyes and gives a small smile* Can you, make it quick?

E-5: *Confused* You... want to die?

Ella: Please...

E-5: Well, if it helps my brothers in the end. Sure. *Beings Emma's axe down and cuts her upper body in half*

Ella: *In the last moment* I'll be right there with you, dear sister-

*The axe makes contact with the ground as E-5 cuts clean through her*

E-5: Huh, this weapon is good. I might take it with me. Maybe then I don't have to constantly keep taking fire axes and Shikikan won't get mad at me. *Pulls the axe out of the ground and puts it on his back before kneeling known and looking at Ella's corpse* She's smiling. Why? *Stands back up and walks further around leaving behind the corpses of the abyssal monster girls*
