He lay there, staring up, feeling the darkness creeping in. “No… I can’t give up now,” he thought, clenching his fists as he struggled to rise again. But the female being approached, ready to finish what she had started. “You’re nothing but a fool!” she spat, preparing her next devastating strike.

The very ground trembled beneath them, and the air filled with a blinding light. As the dust settled, the battlefield fell silent for a moment, the tension palpable. Jeremy stood there, panting heavily, the adrenaline coursing through him as he surveyed the scene. The being lay defeated, her form dissipating into a swirl of dark energy, a testament to the power he had unlocked temporarily.“I did it…” he whispered to himself, the reality of the victory slowly sinking in. He glanced down at Linda, still unconscious but safe, and a sense of relief washed over him. *_*As the defeated form of the female being dissipated into a swirl of dark
The being staggered back, surprise etched across his face as he felt the weight of Jeremy’s attack. “What? How is this possible?” he spat, his confidence wavering.With the momentum of his attack, Jeremy pressed forward, swinging his katana in a flurry of strikes.

The being, now on the defensive, tried to counterattack, but the trio was relentless. They struck with precision and power, each attack chipping away at the dark aura that had once surrounded the being.*_"“Five hours… They are taking longer than usual for a weak dungeon filled with weak rank beasts,” Jessica pondered, glancing at her watch, which now read 4 AM. Her brow furrowed with concern, the creeping unease in her gut growing stronger with each passing minute. “Are you sure they are going to be safe?” one of the support staff i
The battlefield erupted into a symphony of chaos, the atmosphere heavy with tension as Jeremy, Jotaro, and Samantha convened for their final confrontation against the malevolent entity. They had managed to push him back, yet the battle was anything but finished. The being stood imposing, a wicked grin etched across his face, unfazed by their collective efforts."I detest those who feign strength," he sneered, effortlessly parrying Jeremy’s sword with a mere flick of his wrist, gripping the blade as if it were a fragile twig.“Ugh!” Jeremy hissed, frustration boiling beneath the surface as he felt his weapon dismissed with such ease.“Oh, you know I was speaking directly to you,” the being taunted, his voice dripping with derision. In an instant, he unleashed a merciless kick to Jeremy’s diaphragm, sending him sprawling backward, breathless.“And as for you two,” he continued, shifting his gaze toward Jotaro and Samantha, “I must commend your strength. I would have relished the opport
The battlefield erupted into a tempest of chaos, where every clash of steel and surge of energy reverberated through the air like a shockwave. Jotaro and Samantha stood resolute, their determination solidifying as they confronted the malevolent entity, emboldened by his recent triumph over Jeremy. The being’s sinister grin widened, fueled by the tumultuous energy of the moment.“Now that we’re back in business,” he jeered, dark energy crackling around him like a tempest, “let’s see how long you can endure my fury!”“Don’t get overconfident,” Jotaro shot back, his fists aglow with a fierce purple light. “You might have the advantage, but we’re not backing down!”As if to reinforce his words, Jotaro lunged forward, unleashing a barrage of punches directed at the entity. Each strike was infused with his Ninjutsu, designed to break through the shroud of darkness enveloping their foe. The being smirked, effortlessly dodging the initial blows, but Jotaro pressed on with unwavering tenacity
“Is this your final stand?” the being roared, struggling to maintain his form as the combined power of the two warriors bore down upon him.“We're not finished yet!” Russ shouted, channeling every ounce of his strength into one final strike.The battlefield was engulfed in a blinding light as their combined forces surged forward, aiming to shatter the being’s dark aura once and for all.“NO! You cannot defeat me!” the being howled, his grin faltering as the light enveloped him.But just as the being was about to unleash a devastating soul beam from its mouth, he suddenly stopped, a look of confusion crossing his face. “Who dares?” he muttered, glancing sideways with narrowed eyes.The shift in the battlefield caught the attention of Jotaro, Samantha, Warhuz, Brandon, and Russ, who all turned to see what had made the being halt in its tracks. A blue light shimmered across the dungeon, blinding a few momentarily. Everyone felt a chill run down their spine; they knew what this meant. S
Jeremy’s vision was a kaleidoscope of blurry shapes and blurred colors, the world around him spinning in a disorienting haze. His body felt weak and bruised, each breath a reminder of the pain coursing through him. “Shit, that hurts!” he cursed, the words barely escaping his cracked lips as he spat out a chunk of blood, the metallic taste lingering bitterly on his tongue. He lay supine on the cold ground, staring up at the darkened sky, his teeth stained red as he groaned in agony.After several futile attempts to rise, Jeremy finally managed to push himself up with a grimace, feeling the sickening crunch of his bones realigning beneath him. Each movement was a battle against the pain, but he refused to succumb, driven by a flickering flame of determination.

A violent headache split his vision in two, sending blood trickling down his nostrils as he instinctively pulled his hands away, clutching his head and letting out a pained yelp. “Arrggh!” he screamed, frustration mingling with a strange sensation.

The beast is too strong,” he thought, groping around blindly for a moment as he crawled, his vision clouded and becoming increasingly desperate.“Is it possible? I’m a B- exorcist... Yet, this temporary ascension should qualify me, right?” Jeremy mused, turning toward the beast with bloodshot eyes that seemed to reflect his inner turmoil. The
