A chilling voice cut through the smoky air.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgda3Mekx5
"I found Princess Lilith!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8qwP7KHXZ
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAfNzbre5A
Lilith’s face paled. "Oh no…"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW44EonlphE
Then—more demons appeared. Dozens. Crawling out from behind destroyed buildings, rising from the debris, perching on rooftops.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhUbrNSJEo
"There she is!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYaHlDtJtS
"Kill her!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DuIg6iGyD
The mob charged forward.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIDObuhqUc
Lilith instinctively took a step back, her breath catching in her throat. She was ready to bolt—until a firm hand grabbed hers.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxteUglVHPy
Eleo grinned confidently. "Don’t worry, Lilith! I got this!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW0BIyphWs
Lilith snapped out of her panic. "You?! Against all of them?!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ898nxqutB6
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Pfft, easy."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKspKcqmbP
THE BATTLE BEGINS!
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLAhymGpTL
"INK BARRAGE!!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGe8q215UI
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UcsDcs9rX
BAM! BAM! BAM!
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDQNIUOkXS
A demon flew backward, crashing into a building. Another spun through the air before slamming into the ground.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxo1GsXnHk
One demon leapt at Eleo from behind—
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPQqCwZcL4
Eleo teleported. Vanishing in a blink.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbqvkseUYx
The demon looked around, confused. "Wha—"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zg85svxim
Eleo reappeared in the air above him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqxT1142vl
CLAP!
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ63dhBDfG
Eleo smashed his palms together, transforming both hands into a massive cannon.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw49kASGUG
"INK CANNON!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoFvf6uErg
A huge ink projectile shot out, blasting the demon off his feet and sending him skidding across the ground like a skipping stone.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgER0sqkFn
Eleo landed with a goofy grin. "Hah! Too easy!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcip5eOQV7i
Lilith watched in stunned silence. "He’s… actually winning?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6f3eLsyUU
The demons, now angrier, swarmed him.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KqjIwa1Na
Eleo smirked. "Oh, you want more?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasQ2fCGrXn
His hands shifted, ink morphing into a pair of massive hammers.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe49OnReiL6
"INK HAMMER SLAM!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyuoJYyRij
Eleo leapt up and swung both hammers down, creating a shockwave that shook the entire town.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdSBf3w6UH
BOOOOM!
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xqToLodCy
The ground cracked beneath him, sending demons flying like ragdolls.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1UsWSJ24w
Lilith blinked. "This idiot… is actually strong?!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0brm1PpkIi
A straggler tried to run—
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueiHsJ8uNu
SNAP!
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XKRSq6LXG
Eleo lashed out with an ink rope, wrapping it around the demon’s ankle and yanking him back.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5pxPIVMiP
WHAM! The demon faceplanted into the ground.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnEAmeEKmZ
Eleo grinned, holding the last struggling demon up by the collar. "Okay, jerk—why’d you attack Burger Town?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqrD5ahp9E
The demon groaned, eyes spinning. "Ugh… assassination mission…"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m2NinhyBT
Lilith tensed. "They were trying to kill me?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcRT4IlkKI
The demon chuckled weakly. "Lucky guess… but when you didn’t show up, we decided to wreck the place instead."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKOxzEc2ha
Lilith scowled. "Because I was kidnapped by that damn DuDu bastard."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW3bOIBZm1
The demon smirked. "Also… your father’s furious that you ran away."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2kzqSHuon
Lilith crossed her arms. "Of course, he is."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccSQccH3KX
Eleo scratched his head. "Wait, wait, wait—I'm confused."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0fjrlxhQg
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."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs8ppXa0fV
Eleo nodded slowly. "Ohhh, okay! That makes sense!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZSFN4sMXi
Lilith stared at him. "No, it doesn’t. At all."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6OY2HSn0Y
THE KNIGHT ARRIVES!
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRufF53wfys
Before the conversation could continue—
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcRU6idJ8w
A portal tore open in the sky, rippling with dark energy.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4vjgh7eV5
BOOM.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1njtRxCVy7
A tall figure stepped through.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq0UPhhMg6
His jagged black armor shimmered with an unnatural light, crimson eyes glowing menacingly beneath a dragon-shaped helmet.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOMbzIfevE
The air grew heavier.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglmZFyBZuz
Lilith groaned. "Oh great… Iron."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLGN9olQUA
The knight’s voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority. "Miss Lilith. There you are."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSPU9uIqa8
Eleo squinted at him. "Dang, bro, you look so cool."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnMEHUkg3r
Lilith rolled her eyes. "Iron, this demon tried to assassinate me. Can you take him in for questioning?"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqINq0xKElU
Iron glanced at the demon struggling in Eleo’s grasp.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx5ukHiopO
"Yes, ma’am."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEx7XpNlHD
Without hesitation, he grabbed the demon by the throat, lifting him effortlessly.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbkI3CNb1R
The demon gulped. "I-I ain’t saying nothing!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OtoczxSt5
Iron tilted his head. "Oh, you will."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoRYixJmRw
The demon shivered. "...I suddenly feel very talkative."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAFnX7Mzg4
Iron turned to Lilith. "Say your goodbyes."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c2BxoxCi5
Lilith hesitated. She glanced at Eleo, rubbing her arm. "...I can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I’ll miss you."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVZXEyU4Ak
Eleo grinned. "I’ll miss you too, Lilith!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0hCByBUl6
Lilith bit her lip, hesitated… then scoffed.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNWjhaLLrI
"Screw it."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZgCI9agm6
She ran forward, grabbed Eleo’s shirt—
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk56fRv1c3
—and kissed him on the cheek.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUM3Wu6Rft
Eleo froze.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM0MWasRg3
Lilith turned bright red, spun around, and sprinted through the portal.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkQYwrePHt
FWOOOOSH.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9V4YV6r61
The portal vanished.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOY0Cg76UU
Eleo stood there, blinking. He touched his cheek. "...Huh."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ZFM1cidh
He grinned. "I knew she liked me!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6X3RlXgtt
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oaI9aD6Kc
"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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4AI9JuVt3
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevHmgWxnOr
Eleo exhaled, shoulders slumping. "Alright then… Lola Island it is."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEAPUXxzmn
Before leaving, he turned back to the wreckage of Burger Town. He took a deep bow, lowering his head in respect.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t1FsiAf4T
"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."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmdkqldu7d
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwMQ6ALQQQ
Eleo let out a dry chuckle. "Hah! Just like my other boat! This brings back memories… of almost drowning."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VswN5Ukpg
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6Uyfzxq5o
"Row, row, row the boat~! To Lola we will go~! Hope there’s food and not some dude, trying to break my bones!~"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVw7tCQnyV
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEyxe3ISV1
"Alright! Land! Let’s see what Lola Island—" He blinked. "—HUH?!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdbbEWoBvy
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLmZDQYtsK
"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."
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDoTJfI7yT
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!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kItxmjDpM
He followed the path, humming to himself, until the trees thinned out, revealing something far beyond anything he expected.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBbvk4ZloB
His jaw nearly hit the ground.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVcrasLtYH
"WHOA!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHoHOzBGFf
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3iBrAitYr
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.
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKupsPabjG
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!!"
64Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2IPYVExOf
His stomach growled loudly. He laughed awkwardly. "...After I find something to eat first."
