A chilling voice cut through the smoky air.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrEFTK47yp
"I found Princess Lilith!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6NtVrfVRL
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TB0Leojio
Lilith’s face paled. "Oh no…"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz8NcJMjim
Then—more demons appeared. Dozens. Crawling out from behind destroyed buildings, rising from the debris, perching on rooftops.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOR0VoDDkT
"There she is!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNqdQjjA7D
"Kill her!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cG6eGIiYK
The mob charged forward.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHiuTXPINY
Lilith instinctively took a step back, her breath catching in her throat. She was ready to bolt—until a firm hand grabbed hers.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sPIO98AnY
Eleo grinned confidently. "Don’t worry, Lilith! I got this!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ143Rmilvdi
Lilith snapped out of her panic. "You?! Against all of them?!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1hp0bu1tb
Eleo cracked his knuckles. "Pfft, easy."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiokO4z6SU2
THE BATTLE BEGINS!
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLW5M0WkBZ
"INK BARRAGE!!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPdN8cycKY
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqmDTrLKkx
BAM! BAM! BAM!
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIw41xHYqG
A demon flew backward, crashing into a building. Another spun through the air before slamming into the ground.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhPzujAjPw
One demon leapt at Eleo from behind—
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95XGTrxzgh
Eleo teleported. Vanishing in a blink.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SfnbzHHxv
The demon looked around, confused. "Wha—"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qTknBY0QW
Eleo reappeared in the air above him.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEx8XnyfhH
CLAP!
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpkG8a8LAG
Eleo smashed his palms together, transforming both hands into a massive cannon.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmUqJwSIYz
"INK CANNON!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRFSVphjg1
A huge ink projectile shot out, blasting the demon off his feet and sending him skidding across the ground like a skipping stone.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlLJ9ntNuW
Eleo landed with a goofy grin. "Hah! Too easy!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Mwjg6zqP
Lilith watched in stunned silence. "He’s… actually winning?"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgCPaZ8NDC
The demons, now angrier, swarmed him.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgs3ZUifPV
Eleo smirked. "Oh, you want more?"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5hBWnlSvv
His hands shifted, ink morphing into a pair of massive hammers.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoswHwCxG9
"INK HAMMER SLAM!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9pLyjFWdL
Eleo leapt up and swung both hammers down, creating a shockwave that shook the entire town.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TrcLz9mz1
BOOOOM!
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2mftesJwQ
The ground cracked beneath him, sending demons flying like ragdolls.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfTZha7KMi
Lilith blinked. "This idiot… is actually strong?!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojbmAdVyAr
A straggler tried to run—
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxvoYrHyUX
SNAP!
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFkWy5O8c4
Eleo lashed out with an ink rope, wrapping it around the demon’s ankle and yanking him back.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB372pAQGh
WHAM! The demon faceplanted into the ground.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UZxLzlHVB
Eleo grinned, holding the last struggling demon up by the collar. "Okay, jerk—why’d you attack Burger Town?"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd7DS7cgSz
The demon groaned, eyes spinning. "Ugh… assassination mission…"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjrokRIruf
Lilith tensed. "They were trying to kill me?"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PCrxYsQPT
The demon chuckled weakly. "Lucky guess… but when you didn’t show up, we decided to wreck the place instead."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjxbmKmJyC
Lilith scowled. "Because I was kidnapped by that damn DuDu bastard."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kxctq9KMv
The demon smirked. "Also… your father’s furious that you ran away."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKnQEb90vo
Lilith crossed her arms. "Of course, he is."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rjMqQlncJ
Eleo scratched his head. "Wait, wait, wait—I'm confused."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQZtHuyDQy
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."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRxKezwnZc
Eleo nodded slowly. "Ohhh, okay! That makes sense!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrlk2bvo26
Lilith stared at him. "No, it doesn’t. At all."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hg3WCoyx5
THE KNIGHT ARRIVES!
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZXKIMKfjM
Before the conversation could continue—
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1fsLgdKkX
A portal tore open in the sky, rippling with dark energy.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicYCMn3RBU
BOOM.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa6OELfvet
A tall figure stepped through.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetq9wZjcOB
His jagged black armor shimmered with an unnatural light, crimson eyes glowing menacingly beneath a dragon-shaped helmet.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn2mTBiACK
The air grew heavier.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwtr8dX15A
Lilith groaned. "Oh great… Iron."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIemPnl0GMK
The knight’s voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority. "Miss Lilith. There you are."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xF9wRFy3I
Eleo squinted at him. "Dang, bro, you look so cool."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlCh35fFs4
Lilith rolled her eyes. "Iron, this demon tried to assassinate me. Can you take him in for questioning?"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBca9ZJ8DCD
Iron glanced at the demon struggling in Eleo’s grasp.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXsMhlE5Jn
"Yes, ma’am."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP67IkVoYD
Without hesitation, he grabbed the demon by the throat, lifting him effortlessly.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOuYzqrYQb
The demon gulped. "I-I ain’t saying nothing!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlxVnccOdJ
Iron tilted his head. "Oh, you will."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXr4YAWL7c
The demon shivered. "...I suddenly feel very talkative."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwse5adqLq
Iron turned to Lilith. "Say your goodbyes."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIimUul2i8X
Lilith hesitated. She glanced at Eleo, rubbing her arm. "...I can’t believe I’m saying this, but… I’ll miss you."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb6dh1RuNL
Eleo grinned. "I’ll miss you too, Lilith!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR4zluiGbZ
Lilith bit her lip, hesitated… then scoffed.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDO3pSMrhO
"Screw it."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBxbMSzZV0
She ran forward, grabbed Eleo’s shirt—
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTuuNY9cGX
—and kissed him on the cheek.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjTGMmsqf6
Eleo froze.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rQm2tGRGc
Lilith turned bright red, spun around, and sprinted through the portal.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGGpBu7yDu
FWOOOOSH.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6W8E1gMTb
The portal vanished.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAF2EjiVIY
Eleo stood there, blinking. He touched his cheek. "...Huh."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTN6QHukvC
He grinned. "I knew she liked me!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeARjhRMaO1
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhQH8CBb92
"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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeDcpGlEef
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i2OKzCtp5
Eleo exhaled, shoulders slumping. "Alright then… Lola Island it is."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA346fpt34
Before leaving, he turned back to the wreckage of Burger Town. He took a deep bow, lowering his head in respect.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjeJY9fvJB
"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."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRkJUMltKM
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aZy3mqiZJ
Eleo let out a dry chuckle. "Hah! Just like my other boat! This brings back memories… of almost drowning."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf36Gdl0fY
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yhuczaqBK
"Row, row, row the boat~! To Lola we will go~! Hope there’s food and not some dude, trying to break my bones!~"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwDsxDQTmu
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA8MIRLFXk
"Alright! Land! Let’s see what Lola Island—" He blinked. "—HUH?!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2CqGrhHMW
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTkYxIGRmR
"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."
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZx661281S
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!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN4LAUZTSS
He followed the path, humming to himself, until the trees thinned out, revealing something far beyond anything he expected.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZTSbRyWLw
His jaw nearly hit the ground.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosy68LAwdi
"WHOA!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOQoUpGoVH
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXniLhdCiGm
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.
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ujpb3CCmE
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!!"
48Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMfjE2Zjjk
His stomach growled loudly. He laughed awkwardly. "...After I find something to eat first."
