My body got used to the water really fast, but it was like being in a pot of water being brought to a boil.
[It is, so I suggest you get moving, or you are going to be boiled alive!]
I didn't need to be told twice, but what I couldn't figure out was why I was even feeling the heat. I made it to the ladder and pulled myself up and out of the water, body steaming as I did.
[You have access to your Shaman class while inside of here. People get used to relying on their classes, but there are things that can stop your class from working. I think it would be in your best interest to learn to make your body stronger.]
I pulled myself up onto the five-foot cube the ladder was attached to and finally took a look around.
There were the three balls I had seen Mary bounce across, but now they looked much farther apart. On top of that, they were now yellow, and they weren't in a straight line.
"How the hell am I supposed to get… who are you? ...Wh
I hit the yellow ball with my shoulder, sinking into its top as I did, but then I was launched up. I flew up and then landed on a cube-like the one I had just got climbed upon with a hard thump.I closed my eyes tight, but I didn't drop into my mind. There was no point in it; I would after I was on the ladder.I put my hands over my head as I waited for the man in the tuxedo to appear. He never came, so I laid there for a bit, letting my body heal slowly as I did.[Looks like you might have a chance after all, but I think that you will have to hurry once you get up.]I nodded to myself and slowly spun myself around to face a winding path that led up. Every five feet of the bridge section looked cracked, and jagged lines were running through each.'What do you make of this?'[I saw the girls using them before, and they were dropping out, but the girls seemed to be able to know where to walk. I didn't see them long enough or from a good angle,
I laid flat, and Tuxedo Maskless never came, but I was getting frustrated.[I really can't seem to figure out a pattern that you can use to make it through without getting chopped in half. The speeds are constantly changing, and there is no pattern to the changes.]I could see that, and I was trying to figure out how I was going to make it past this part. I looked up, and all the ropes were attached to a one-foot wide I-beam.If I could climb up to the top, I might be able to cheat and cross, but that was cheating… Wait! Who gives a fuck if I cheat!I got up and dashed forward, leaping and grabbing the rope. I scurried up it and then pulled myself up, allowing me a better look at my surroundings.It looked like the rest of the sections were covered as far as I could see. If I stayed up here, I might be able to make the rest of the way to the top with ease![Tuxedo Maskless! RUN!]I didn't look; I just ran and burst forward as I
Tuxedo Maskless and the two knight versions of him combined, but he was still the same. Or that is what I thought.Suddenly, Tuxedo Maskless was in front of me, and I was barely able to block his strike. I was sent back another ten feet, and there was a downward strike before I could react.I tried to block, but I was driven down, and I wasn't going to be able to stop the hammer. I rolled to the side, and I was forced to drop the battle-ax as I did.Tuxedo Maskless was literally three times as strong and as fast as he was before when I fought him. Fighting with him now was like fighting someone completely different and using two weapons meant to be wielded with two hands.Then one of the Knights split off from Tuxedo Maskless to grab up the battle-ax as he rushed me. I sprung up, bringing the sword up in an arch, deflecting the hammer strike that wasn't as strong as before.I quickly switched grip and slashed through Tuxedo Maskless, but he turned
I gave one last look at the girls up on the tower, and the thing still didn't look nearly as bad as it was before. It was probably because of the difficulty level that I had chosen.Again, I was curious about how Mex might be doing.*Blaza: He finally got past the balls, but now is being cut up by the blades on the rope… nope, he slipped and cut his throat… yup forty-foot drop this time. You know this is the best show I have seen!*I turned to Beeno and then crept up behind her, slipped my arms around her, and kissed her neck. The moment I did, her either body relaxed like jello into my arms as she turned her head to me."Mmm, did you have fun? I don't think you could see me, but I was watching you, and that was a very impressive fight that you had. I really wasn't sure if you were going to make it, but you seemed to always have another surprise waiting," Beeno said to me, and I just smiled at her and then gave her a kiss."It was fun
"Who are you, and what are you doing here? I do not recognize you from anywhere on the island, and you are not a Demon," The Manticore questioned me, and I nodded to him."My name is Zack, and I am the new non-Demon Lord of the island, and I am friends with Mex," I said to the strange combination of a red lion, bird, and scorpion.The Manticore was flapping its wings above me, but when I mentioned Mex, the lion's face turned sour."You still never said why you were here. Mex should know that this place is off-limits! I get that he helped me, but I don't want anything else from that woman stealer!" The Manticore shouted at me, and I swore I saw a tear in his eye.Oh great, so this is why Mex never wanted to come, but who was this woman that he stole? Candace?"Who did he steal from you? I can't really see Mex being the type to do something like that," I questioned the creature.This seemed to be the thing that was making the two of them disli
I looked over to the sound of the splashing water and spotted a girl with hair as green as grass. Tiga slowly came closer and out of the water, revealing a tail like her father's, but different and lacking a spike."Yes, and the soon we get out of here, the better! I want to go and explore the island, and you are more than welcome to come and join me. I do have a question; what have you been eating? Are there fish, or…" I asked with my voice trailing off."Wait, you have only seen the top of me, but you might not feel the same after you see what I have hidden below the water. I am not as pretty as you might assume! Tiga declared in a cute voice that sounded painful, but if she didn't have a dick, I was pretty sure I could fix it.Then I watched as she slowly came to the rest of the way, and a mass of massive green tentacles moved under her. I tried very hard to keep my expression neutral, but my eyes continued to get bigger."See! I know you would
"Yes, but I think I can help with that, just don't get too excited. If you let me take care of you, I can help you get your powers under control," I explained to her, but Tiga didn't look convinced."No! I can't leave here! My father has been protecting me from my crazy mom that wants to eat me!" Tiga cried as I slowly waded into the water."Don't you worry about her; I already dealt with your mother once when I was a weakling. So now I shouldn't even have to look at her to keep her back; plus, If she starts causing trouble, we will be the ones that are eating her!" I declared.Tiga gave me a strained look, and the water near her started to froth, and I stopped. I wasn't sure what her range was for whatever she had used on me, but I was prepared for it this time."Who are you, and how can you be so confident of yourself?" Tiga asked me with shock; her tentacles were causing the water to undulate and boil around her."Mex gave me his place as Demon
Tiga climbed into my arms as I lit with fire and spiraled up and out of the cave. I didn't think the girls would hurt him, but I had no idea what Beeno might do if he tried to interrupt her training."Do you think that my father will be alright?" Tiga asked, and I nodded as we got closer to the exit."We will be there in very little time; just hold on. The worst thing that will happen is that Noel put him into the training course with Mex, who will already be in a nasty mood. Still, then the two of them can't die," I explained, and the bust from the cave before she could reply, rocketing in the direction the Calbro had gone in.I could see the Keep right away, but I didn't see the red Manticore anywhere in the air. I headed to where the large tower was standing that I had scaled earlier and dropped down to the ground with Tiga.Beeno hardly noticed, but I could see why as I put Tiga down and looked up at the tower more closely. Now that I was at the groun
