A chilling voice cut through the smoky air.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA3XVA8AqgwJ
"I found Princess Lilith!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAP54KcmK4GR
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANASZYVeF7P8r
Lilith’s face paled. "Oh no…"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAbnbnmKwEsr
Then—more demons appeared. Dozens. Crawling out from behind destroyed buildings, rising from the debris, perching on rooftops.
202Please respect copyright.PENANApPBBdJdsXe
"There she is!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAjBNfxVZhhZ
"Kill her!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAzV4wz4Sq90
The mob charged forward.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAFeu6FBMnyE
Lilith instinctively took a step back, her breath catching in her throat. She was ready to bolt—until a firm hand grabbed hers.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3L7jQgLBr
Eleo grinned confidently. "Don’t worry, Lilith! I got this!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAKztSQJV3HK
Lilith snapped out of her panic. "You?! Against all of them?!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAVOJhrb8plY
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Pfft, easy."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAgDYXUJXNBd
THE BATTLE BEGINS!
202Please respect copyright.PENANAqMsSwlfkl8
"INK BARRAGE!!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANA3QPtmmuvZN
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA4BK47iRHdI
BAM! BAM! BAM!
202Please respect copyright.PENANAovFDfCICaD
A demon flew backward, crashing into a building. Another spun through the air before slamming into the ground.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA2DRvoYzAUl
One demon leapt at Eleo from behind—
202Please respect copyright.PENANAJbsfllp2fc
Eleo teleported. Vanishing in a blink.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAcZGnwmdyKN
The demon looked around, confused. "Wha—"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAjBeHNqcYkG
Eleo reappeared in the air above him.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAgEYIEfvxuk
CLAP!
202Please respect copyright.PENANAAngnLNGgKj
Eleo smashed his palms together, transforming both hands into a massive cannon.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA8pSOfw15z2
"INK CANNON!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAiquxgUk33f
A huge ink projectile shot out, blasting the demon off his feet and sending him skidding across the ground like a skipping stone.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAW9go0kMiSI
Eleo landed with a goofy grin. "Hah! Too easy!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAtvfigzUIKM
Lilith watched in stunned silence. "He’s… actually winning?"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAEnjrNiPPhy
The demons, now angrier, swarmed him.
202Please respect copyright.PENANADodjXARDQl
Eleo smirked. "Oh, you want more?"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAgU2u37OTyf
His hands shifted, ink morphing into a pair of massive hammers.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAFVuG6QxXUh
"INK HAMMER SLAM!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAGhiXO7iiJk
Eleo leapt up and swung both hammers down, creating a shockwave that shook the entire town.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAm3L8Sg27Yc
BOOOOM!
202Please respect copyright.PENANAg1hf2bvfww
The ground cracked beneath him, sending demons flying like ragdolls.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA8uIBznX6Ew
Lilith blinked. "This idiot… is actually strong?!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAKCvjxRJAyx
A straggler tried to run—
202Please respect copyright.PENANAMWCqYFUsa7
SNAP!
202Please respect copyright.PENANAilrVAXy7yQ
Eleo lashed out with an ink rope, wrapping it around the demon’s ankle and yanking him back.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAKDMI4c1o1K
WHAM! The demon faceplanted into the ground.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAHDcJjyuCN9
Eleo grinned, holding the last struggling demon up by the collar. "Okay, jerk—why’d you attack Burger Town?"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAQUJmwwtv2u
The demon groaned, eyes spinning. "Ugh… assassination mission…"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAzG0tIfEv7y
Lilith tensed. "They were trying to kill me?"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAs5B6yG8OY1
The demon chuckled weakly. "Lucky guess… but when you didn’t show up, we decided to wreck the place instead."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAUamluB0Dmd
Lilith scowled. "Because I was kidnapped by that damn DuDu bastard."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAO2d4qeGTAz
The demon smirked. "Also… your father’s furious that you ran away."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAi5RFyM7JAn
Lilith crossed her arms. "Of course, he is."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAkIkJtgjSSk
Eleo scratched his head. "Wait, wait, wait—I'm confused."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAM0kOkGf5c1
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."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAeIQKRtvIj6
Eleo nodded slowly. "Ohhh, okay! That makes sense!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAFRQcFtGijY
Lilith stared at him. "No, it doesn’t. At all."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAf0dx8fbuTd
THE KNIGHT ARRIVES!
202Please respect copyright.PENANAze9SEy2n81
Before the conversation could continue—
202Please respect copyright.PENANATwaeHcoThb
A portal tore open in the sky, rippling with dark energy.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAfdEnF0n5Yx
BOOM.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAI7GvzOQsN9
A tall figure stepped through.
202Please respect copyright.PENANALg8a8jp3Ci
His jagged black armor shimmered with an unnatural light, crimson eyes glowing menacingly beneath a dragon-shaped helmet.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA0vOgn5aJVK
The air grew heavier.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA8SLYfv41EN
Lilith groaned. "Oh great… Iron."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAu6Jlpp9G2A
The knight’s voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority. "Miss Lilith. There you are."
202Please respect copyright.PENANArZFLVjv9O1
Eleo squinted at him. "Dang, bro, you look so cool."
202Please respect copyright.PENANA8CM2q3SSgh
Lilith rolled her eyes. "Iron, this demon tried to assassinate me. Can you take him in for questioning?"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAV5kYwWGNU6
Iron glanced at the demon struggling in Eleo’s grasp.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAevsOECmjP4
"Yes, ma’am."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAT5ynMt6DuU
Without hesitation, he grabbed the demon by the throat, lifting him effortlessly.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAWP3nbXJpEo
The demon gulped. "I-I ain’t saying nothing!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANA6GFa0XOw2s
Iron tilted his head. "Oh, you will."
202Please respect copyright.PENANA0a7IcIpxVW
The demon shivered. "...I suddenly feel very talkative."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAXHFr1MrcHW
Iron turned to Lilith. "Say your goodbyes."
202Please respect copyright.PENANA04LZhv1Hj4
Lilith hesitated. She glanced at Eleo, rubbing her arm. "...I can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I’ll miss you."
202Please respect copyright.PENANATAcrltqbkU
Eleo grinned. "I’ll miss you too, Lilith!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAndI304bKXM
Lilith bit her lip, hesitated… then scoffed.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA3LyalK5svX
"Screw it."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAhmMGuCIyZQ
She ran forward, grabbed Eleo’s shirt—
202Please respect copyright.PENANAaE5w6tKqRM
—and kissed him on the cheek.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAu0pi79OufG
Eleo froze.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAw2828CTkUy
Lilith turned bright red, spun around, and sprinted through the portal.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAbWqZSuWnzX
FWOOOOSH.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAK2aftrgPd9
The portal vanished.
202Please respect copyright.PENANApHjoLGgtOd
Eleo stood there, blinking. He touched his cheek. "...Huh."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAVhy0LVZ6IR
He grinned. "I knew she liked me!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAaCfQoZ464e
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAzn44qDQWUt
"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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA9uF6SMqULy
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAFzEy3zASdc
Eleo exhaled, shoulders slumping. "Alright then… Lola Island it is."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAvRbbQCOWdZ
Before leaving, he turned back to the wreckage of Burger Town. He took a deep bow, lowering his head in respect.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAmgL2jp19PC
"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."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAZ63mXJzMoh
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAEvpFtPttUE
Eleo let out a dry chuckle. "Hah! Just like my other boat! This brings back memories… of almost drowning."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAu86BwB5kV5
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAcYTF1ZZ9LH
"Row, row, row the boat~! To Lola we will go~! Hope there’s food and not some dude, trying to break my bones!~"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAMtU8WrmhYP
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAJtdamb444f
"Alright! Land! Let’s see what Lola Island—" He blinked. "—HUH?!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAUdfKm5NKvz
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA8LoED0DSge
"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."
202Please respect copyright.PENANAu5KdspZkD9
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!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAsh2o1Ki6gu
He followed the path, humming to himself, until the trees thinned out, revealing something far beyond anything he expected.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA7XM3GaAxWC
His jaw nearly hit the ground.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAlYmp6Tl0u2
"WHOA!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAPPvX6dnHm9
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAtmrb9MbPAP
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAQQWRDRUB1U
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!!"
202Please respect copyright.PENANAITjKoCXwG3
His stomach growled loudly. He laughed awkwardly. "...After I find something to eat first."
