A chilling voice cut through the smoky air.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31HRrVCxgA
"I found Princess Lilith!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMmLyNYf2Y
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.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhlp2QYaRN
Lilith’s face paled. "Oh no…"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHATgNzoAjF
Then—more demons appeared. Dozens. Crawling out from behind destroyed buildings, rising from the debris, perching on rooftops.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwnEqvX2iD
"There she is!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI6ZTeLKPw
"Kill her!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaCUkSzktC
The mob charged forward.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMOLkboLA2
Lilith instinctively took a step back, her breath catching in her throat. She was ready to bolt—until a firm hand grabbed hers.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikb5dULmYY
Eleo grinned confidently. "Don’t worry, Lilith! I got this!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Q5fVTDme
Lilith snapped out of her panic. "You?! Against all of them?!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd32JqqhGgh
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Pfft, easy."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX1SC37ltU
THE BATTLE BEGINS!
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoSo1Wwznf
"INK BARRAGE!!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1TczDg3Fs
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.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aQcOmtocx
BAM! BAM! BAM!
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zSGbUOGg5
A demon flew backward, crashing into a building. Another spun through the air before slamming into the ground.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg2BXV2h8Z
One demon leapt at Eleo from behind—
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMMTUXi8oe
Eleo teleported. Vanishing in a blink.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIZyp1MQdl
The demon looked around, confused. "Wha—"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdSCQ00tBc
Eleo reappeared in the air above him.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRnMvASfJ7
CLAP!
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3DMlecRki
Eleo smashed his palms together, transforming both hands into a massive cannon.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZyWgl8HrL
"INK CANNON!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz0HApLrBD
A huge ink projectile shot out, blasting the demon off his feet and sending him skidding across the ground like a skipping stone.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyQ87m4WjF
Eleo landed with a goofy grin. "Hah! Too easy!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUnLgiHp7L
Lilith watched in stunned silence. "He’s… actually winning?"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhsBrrF0DO
The demons, now angrier, swarmed him.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmKFyxAAQW
Eleo smirked. "Oh, you want more?"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPd377VoVd
His hands shifted, ink morphing into a pair of massive hammers.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXIvDHKwmw
"INK HAMMER SLAM!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfZclQjy0x
Eleo leapt up and swung both hammers down, creating a shockwave that shook the entire town.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7z2sXvH6U
BOOOOM!
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ym947PM3l
The ground cracked beneath him, sending demons flying like ragdolls.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyuuSMC160
Lilith blinked. "This idiot… is actually strong?!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG66phZZ2YD
A straggler tried to run—
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKUXMSzkVT
SNAP!
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIrRr7SXZa
Eleo lashed out with an ink rope, wrapping it around the demon’s ankle and yanking him back.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kNjD0aFaj
WHAM! The demon faceplanted into the ground.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AAnHsv5Q7
Eleo grinned, holding the last struggling demon up by the collar. "Okay, jerk—why’d you attack Burger Town?"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3RaMgSLIY
The demon groaned, eyes spinning. "Ugh… assassination mission…"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MFN0OnJIU
Lilith tensed. "They were trying to kill me?"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHl6dzsSvw
The demon chuckled weakly. "Lucky guess… but when you didn’t show up, we decided to wreck the place instead."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAptmjsOoo3
Lilith scowled. "Because I was kidnapped by that damn DuDu bastard."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5YDrpsZtb
The demon smirked. "Also… your father’s furious that you ran away."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVvMlNQlF2
Lilith crossed her arms. "Of course, he is."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc76h4V2V4f
Eleo scratched his head. "Wait, wait, wait—I'm confused."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9In27JUEw
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."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmOfXuyVNJ
Eleo nodded slowly. "Ohhh, okay! That makes sense!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2neMJaIiYq
Lilith stared at him. "No, it doesn’t. At all."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsswGbmKmF
THE KNIGHT ARRIVES!
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ73vErhCdz
Before the conversation could continue—
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZvaCWHvRd
A portal tore open in the sky, rippling with dark energy.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvpIQZ9HQP
BOOM.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqZdwV4xch
A tall figure stepped through.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlfeYi831T
His jagged black armor shimmered with an unnatural light, crimson eyes glowing menacingly beneath a dragon-shaped helmet.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzLinUzbjg
The air grew heavier.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32c42anhdA
Lilith groaned. "Oh great… Iron."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVipwj1pik
The knight’s voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority. "Miss Lilith. There you are."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOsj2ZDg2S
Eleo squinted at him. "Dang, bro, you look so cool."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLwf99mc9N
Lilith rolled her eyes. "Iron, this demon tried to assassinate me. Can you take him in for questioning?"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgqoUIeXqO
Iron glanced at the demon struggling in Eleo’s grasp.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTk1KZRRvt
"Yes, ma’am."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV3TbfjyHJ
Without hesitation, he grabbed the demon by the throat, lifting him effortlessly.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuLj36TD23
The demon gulped. "I-I ain’t saying nothing!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoObXoiBYa
Iron tilted his head. "Oh, you will."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpiPf2bAGH
The demon shivered. "...I suddenly feel very talkative."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WzjwaUfUp
Iron turned to Lilith. "Say your goodbyes."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jWyPrVsaW
Lilith hesitated. She glanced at Eleo, rubbing her arm. "...I can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I’ll miss you."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pToCREaEx
Eleo grinned. "I’ll miss you too, Lilith!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAbj0br9i2
Lilith bit her lip, hesitated… then scoffed.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCGrZ6LIjz
"Screw it."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEG0KSz5jk
She ran forward, grabbed Eleo’s shirt—
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIqKhlpOsF
—and kissed him on the cheek.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HeZQqWYAh
Eleo froze.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciozFGfdWu
Lilith turned bright red, spun around, and sprinted through the portal.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVylD9ilVkw
FWOOOOSH.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0KMs2Dm6V
The portal vanished.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXMjK4ATfB
Eleo stood there, blinking. He touched his cheek. "...Huh."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63hRem5fh9
He grinned. "I knew she liked me!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr8ZQAZ7cd
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.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTaLeZVKkz
"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.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcYpEPOWKO
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.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVI7LbJ0qC
Eleo exhaled, shoulders slumping. "Alright then… Lola Island it is."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiQnW5XBlB
Before leaving, he turned back to the wreckage of Burger Town. He took a deep bow, lowering his head in respect.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO9K32B2bm
"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."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a7OHayvFN
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.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lMOYtNXkK
Eleo let out a dry chuckle. "Hah! Just like my other boat! This brings back memories… of almost drowning."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzq214vW4g
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.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMfue5V5xs
"Row, row, row the boat~! To Lola we will go~! Hope there’s food and not some dude, trying to break my bones!~"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKSDZZ7nMJ
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.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oFePcWi7c
"Alright! Land! Let’s see what Lola Island—" He blinked. "—HUH?!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIBdHrXF5Q
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.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7btAbBeogc
"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."
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspT89rs4BI
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!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy89gKjiSD2
He followed the path, humming to himself, until the trees thinned out, revealing something far beyond anything he expected.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzmgVQu67Z
His jaw nearly hit the ground.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ115ngGPa0y
"WHOA!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjPK92Bt1o
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.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyBVEpaLT3
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.
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjqd5KqkW7
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!!"
12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WeQaBxMGW
His stomach growled loudly. He laughed awkwardly. "...After I find something to eat first."
