PreviouslyElm pondered over the matter before she decided on her answer. Both of the problems could be solved with a quick flash of her power. Literally. And, the bigger the better.With that, she willed speed into her body before she near-teleported to the place where her parents were, killing a couple flying demons out of the way before landing on an adjacent rooftop. Seeing the looks of surprise on both the people’s faces and the demons, she closed her eyes before imagining a bright flash of light. “[Construct],” Elm muttered and heard multiple yelps as the world turned into light. Leonard had always been an astute and free man, unshackled and unchained. He remembered his adventurer days, Free-Spirited Leo they called him, ”working for the Association as a Wanderer, exploring the great kingdoms, the high mountains and even going so far as to explore the great dungeons as well! But as he aged along the years and the woman of his dreams caught him, she had finally convinced him to
Previously“Defensive Positions!”Leonard turned to the Humlic priest and his good friend, barking out orders in the front line, fear non-existent in his eyes even in the face of demons. He remembered how he used to make fun of the priest, calling him unmanly with how he kept his chastity and yet compared to him, John was far more of a man than him. Would he be a greater father than him too?The guards all formed a defensive wall around the townspeople, shielding them with their iron shields blessed with holy water as they moved at a snail’s pace under the protective barrier casted by the priest. The barrier looked flimsy, weak, waning in and out of existence but it was strong enough to make the few low-ranked demons burst into flames as they were exorcised from the mortal realm. But it wouldn’t last forever. In fact, Leonard could clearly see the sweat dripping down John’s face as he gritted his teeth to hold on, at least until they could get into the church.Leonard’s face turned da
Previously“I’m sorry for being so shameless but,” Leonard cried, closing his eyes. “I hope you can let me meet you again, my children.” He surrenders his body to fate, and his soul to the Humlic God so that he will be judged fairly and casted upon the fiery pits of Hell to repent for his sins. BOOM!A large explosion ran out. The demons no longer giggled. The people no longer fled in terror. From that explosion of warmth and light, the world stood in silence. Father John had a smile on his face, seeing the familiar unconscious face of the village chief beside him and the last images of the young girl in gold transitioned to darkness. Hope had arrived.“E. . lm?” Leonard heard from his wife. His heart squeezed in fear but his stomach rolled with happiness and hope. Did he dare? With how he had abandoned her, did he dare to call himself a father, open his eyes and utter her name. Oh, he couldn't believe his eyes.Doubt, regret and guilt flooded through his system. Voices shamed him,
PreviouslyA quick look at the giant, swirling black mass above the Tepes’s head told Elm where the fleeing demons’s blood had gone. She didn’t mind the vampiric demon yet - she could tell from it’s arrogant look that he regarded himself high enough that he didn’t even consider ambushing her or assassinating her from behind. Little did the blood-sucking demon know, that was exactly what Elm had been hoping for. She teleported quickly, reappearing in a flash of light behind a demon look-like of the strong one she had to use her giant arrow against. Amusingly, the demon didn’t look so tough now as it attempted to scream but a quick blade to the throat stopped it, killing it in a burst of white flames. She scanned her surroundings quickly, assessing the quickest path to killing as many demons as quickly and efficiently as possible.“[Construct],” Elm muttered, summoning tens of light swords behind her. It was showtime. She locked onto the many demons hovering in the air before snapping
Previously“Tell me, human,” He ordered, letting his pair of bat-like wings flare out menacingly. “What is your accursed name?”Elm didn’t respond. No, she did respond - by casually pointing the tip of her blade against the vampiric demon. . .which only served to further worsen his mood. He roared out in anger, letting his aura as a direct descendent of the Vapula Household pressure the area, rusting and thereafter, blowing the nearby houses into dust. A tiny hole appeared on the bottom of the mass of black blood above him, a stream of blood trickling down like a mini-waterfall as it bathed the vampiric demon. He relished in the familiar smell of blood and sense of power, tongue lashing out so that he lapped at the blood. With every tongue fed of blood, his form grew larger and larger until eventually, his form quadrupled in size, turning large enough so that he was now larger than any bear-type monster Elm had hunted, tearing apart it’s clothes as it stood on air, completely nude f
Previously“Sh-She’s done it!”The entire town square broke out in cries of delight and cheers of happiness as their lives had just been saved. They all thought that they would die there and then, some of them even froze on the spot, accepting their fates but it appears that the gods had smiled upon them. And, to think they would have been saved by a young woman - the daughter of Hunter Leo to mention! - who had just started on the path to adulthood. There were many who had questions as to the origins of her power, but most of them had been too busy celebrating the safety their savior had just granted to them. One of them, however, had the opposite reaction as he could barely breathe, eyes full of guilt as they looked over to what his daughter had become. He was still full of shock at the fact that his daughter had survived but to think she had not just survived, but utterly dominated the demons like they were nothing more than toys? Had she made a deal with the devil to gain that mu
PreviouslyBut just as he crouched, Elm caught him, stopping him as she pulled him close, along with his wife and whispered into their ears, “He’s still alive.”Lightning struck him. Leonard was speechless and his wife went slack, sliding off her daughter as the two processed the information. They didn’t say anything, couldn’t say anything.Elm repeated the words she had told them once more, “I’ll be back.” She prepared to leave but stopped, turning to the stunned pair of father and mother behind her. “I’ll make sure to bring him back.”She channeled her newfound power, the rush of warmth and pure light coursing through her veins. Elm whispered to herself as the world slowed, repeating her words.“I’ll bring him back.” Elm vanished from the area with a thunderous clap and a violent gale that only served to further cool the icy guilt in her parent’s hearts. Yet, as Elm travelled in her astounding speed, she noticed how the scenery turned shades darker the closer she approached her bro
PreviouslyThe Demon God’s lips opened for a second but Elm didn’t let her mutter any word, immediately sending a spear that pierced past the Demon God’s face, creating a hole in her face that regenerated as quickly as the hole appeared. Again, her eyes never left Willow.However this time, she seemed to be learning of Elm’s attacks, her constitution granting her the ability to never fall for the same trick twice, as her body twisted and turned, dodging every one of lightning quick spears of light Elm had been shooting at her. As Elm hugged Willow tighter, the rage in her eyes only glowered further when she saw how the Demon God simply refused to die despite her attacks. Willow knew that as the representation of evil, the Demon God wouldn’t die as long as there was good in the world, only sealed as a world without evil would descend into cosmic anarchy, or so the game explained.Elm had somehow managed to exploit a loophole, killing the Demon God once and for all in the game but that
