In a couple of seconds, things took a turn for the worse.

Kumii and the smallest feral had an exchange of attacks, with Kumii missing his and the demon landed a slash at him. Then, it seemed to Domori that Kumii got pissed, leading him to charge at the feral with tremendous force. However, being the new evade master, I ducked right under him and Kumii slammed into the pillar that had been getting damaged all battle.

And now, the effect of their slip ups finally caught up to them.

With a loud crackle, the ceiling came down on them. Domori quickly darted as far away as possible and got out of its range, and so did the third feral. However, Kumii and the first feral weren't so lucky. Dying instantly, the first feral was crushed by a large piece of debris, leaving a red splat on the ground. Kumii wasn't as unfortunate, but still got hurt, being hit with a stone slab.

Domori ran over to Kumii and pulled him away from the rest of the debris falling. "Kumii! You okay?" Domori looked back up at the other feral, who was still wanting to fight. "You take some time to recuperate, alright? I'll deal with her."

Domori nocked another arrow, shooting another burst of light arrows at it.

Heath regretted his decision in an instant.

The Death Knight pulled something he had never seen before. He slashed the air with his scythe, and from it came a wide arc of dark fire magic. It shot at him at insane speeds -- so fast he wasn't able to react, and it slammed into his chest, dissipating the moment it hit him.

Heath stood there for a moment, looking unphased. He smirked at the Death Knight. "That's all?"

Heath held a poker face as he stared at his foe, but inside, he was hurting. Badly. There was a burning sensation surging throughout his body, and he felt...weak. The strength and reinvigoration he had just gained from activating Kuzureru was still there, but it didn't feel like it was in full effect. But the king dismissed it, deciding to not let it affect him.

With that, Heath dashed forward toward the Death Knight and threw a kick low, trying to begin a combo

Kuragiri desperately pulled at his restraints, feeling the sharp pain in his wrists and the bitter taste of defeat in his mouth. He longed to break free from these chains and escape Heath's control, but it seemed like an impossible task. Fear clawed at his heart, constantly reminding him of the consequences if he failed. Yet, a small part of him couldn't help but wonder if this was where he truly belonged. He’d done terrible things. Things that made him no different than his oppressors. Why me? he thought. Why do I always have to be the one needing to be saved? Why can't I just-

"NO." Kuragiri snarled, shaking his head and panting. "I...I gotta get outta here." He took in a deep breath, trying to be composed. "Come on...come on!"

Kuragiri's muscles bulged as he spread his hands wide, summoning every iota of power within him. A tiny spark emerged, flickering weakly before growing into a blazing flame that consumed his palm and danced with ferocious energy. The intensity in Kuragiri's eyes matched the fiery glow on his face as he reveled in the raw power at his command. But just as he began to revel in his triumph, a wave of exhaustion swept over him and the flame dwindled, disappearing into nothingness.

"Shit!"

Kuragiri pushed and pushed, trying to keep the flame alive, but inevitably, he failed, and it diminished once more.

  The Death Knight got a little annoyed when Heath got up close with him as he wasn't able to retaliate and when he did, the Death Misjudged the distance as he created a gap and his scythe swung harmlessly inches from Heath's face.

  With Kumii stumbled about, the last remaining feral looked up towards the sky and roared, claws forming on its hands and horns forming on its head. It jumped away from the pair and open it's mouth wide, revealing its sharp teeth just before a concentrated jet of flames spewing from it. The feral demon moved its head from left to right in an arena wide arc of flames. When it finished, it returned to the same spot it was at before, keeping it's appearance.
  
  Kumii fell to his knees, which ironically, saved him from getting hit by the arc of flames spewed by the large feral. However, Kumii was still dazed and couldn't get his attack off.

Domori's eyes widened as the watched the remaining feral take on a new tactic. It leapt into the air and from its mouth spewed a strong blast of flames. The flames went around in a wide arc, and Domori had to roll forwards under it to avoid it.

Then, he nocked an arrow and aimed it toward the demon. This shot was different from the others. Domori held onto the drawstring for a split second longer than usual, quickly charging the arrow with Sound magic at a high frequency.

Then, he let it fly, and it zipped through the air at immense speeds with a whistling noise.

"How long has it been...?" Kuragiri thought, panting from his struggle. "What day is it...what month? And what the fuck is happening up there!" Kuragiri clenched his jaw and screamed in frustration as he yanked at the unbreakable chains that bound him. The sound of them holding strong only fueled his anger even more. He pulled with all his might, feeling the skin on his wrists tear and bleed, but he refused to stop. The pain and blood were nothing compared to the burning desire to break free.

Minutes dragged by as the cellar echoed with Kuragiri's grunts of rage and the clanking of chains, until finally, defeated and exhausted, he collapsed to the ground with one final cry of fury.

"Fucking great." Kuragiri couldn't believe his misfortune. He wanted to laugh it off, but the weight of reality settled in and he couldn't help but let out a mixture of hysterical laughter and quiet sobs. Eventually, the sobs outweighed his amusement.

  Kumii stumbled a bit more in a daze before shaking it off just in time for the Ferals attack.
  
  The large feral got struck by Domori's arrow, which lacerated its arm. It roared in pain and went to swing at Kumii, who dodged effortlessly and sent multiple void shards into the demons chest, which was a critical hit and also made the demon slide bakwards away from Kumii for a few feet.
  
  Kumii sighed heavily, "Finally got a decent fucking opening."

  There was a subtle shimmer feeling in the air around Kuragiri.
  
  There was also a voice clear as day that Kuragiri could hear but couldn't quite see, the voice spoke backwards but he could make it out clearly, "The more you struggle, the tastier your madness becomes." Not until he looked across from where he was and saw a single person illuminated by a single, lone light.
  
  This man looked to be an elf with his pointy ears but... something off about him. He wasn't chained up, not like Kuragiri but he was behind a set of bars. The man stared at Kuragiri with a large, toothy grin and his piercing green eyes before finally breaking the silence, "Would ya like some cheese, my friend? It's fresh from the cow! Or goat. It really all depends on your preference." The man chuckled but it was a slightly-- no mostly deranged chuckle and his vocal tone was scratchy yet lighthearted with hints of madness in it.
  
  The man temporarily vanished from sight but then reappeared outside of Kuragiri's cell and offered out his hand. Sure enough, there was a singular cheese wedge on it, the man still held that large grin on his face. Something was clearly not right about this person.

"There you go!" Domori called out as Kumii finally landed a hit on the feral, a devastating one at that. "Now let's finish this thing off."

Domori's fingers relaxed on the bowstring and he released a steady exhale, releasing a swirling green energy from his lips. As he opened his eyes, they burned with determination as he focused his gaze on the feral creature in front of him.

And finally, he took in one final deep breath, and raised his voice, saying, "Allow me to put you out of your misery."

As his words reverberated through the air, a potent and deafening wave of sound energy surged towards the demon with an unstoppable force. The sheer power of the impact caused the demon to writhe, contort, and eventually collapse into a mangled heap on the ground, reduced to nothing but a mass of flesh and bones. The intense pressure of the sound seemed to compress everything in its path, leaving behind a scene of destruction and triumph.

After, Domori fell to his knees and coughed violently, blood spewing from his mouth and onto the floor. The use of that ability did damage to his throat. Not much, but enough to cause him pain.

Kuragiri looked up quickly as he heard a voice. At first, he couldn't find its source. Until he spotted the elf eared man in the corner, making him flinch.

"What the fuck!?" His chains rattled as he jerked back.

Then, the man...offered him cheese? Kuragiri stared at the man for a second. He was about to say something rude, but then the guy vanished from his sight, reappearing outside of his cell with a single piece of cheese in his hand.

"Wha...?" Kuragiri's face contorted in confusion. "Who the hell are you? And...you think you're fucking funny, huh?" Kuragiri tugged at his chains that were keep him stuck to the wall. "I can't fucking walk all the way over there, you pri-"

Kuragiri stopped as his stomach growled.

He really was hungry. But who was this random man offering him cheese?

  Kumii sighed a big sigh of relief as Domori killed the last one.
  
  He looked up in time to see Domori on his knees coughing up blood, "Domori! Are you okay?" He said running to his side and kneel down next to him. Kumii's wings, horns and claws all vanished and he felt light-headed but managed to keep himself upright for the time being as he assisted Domori.

  Dervenin let out a heartily yet equally demented laugh, "Who am I?" Dervenin took a bit of the cheese, "WHO AM I?! HAH!" His voice lowered to a quiet tone, "I am a part of you, little mortal! I am a shadow in your subconscious. A blemish on your fragile little psyche. You know me. You just don't know it..." He stood up and illuminated his full body, which was a purple Victorian era suit, "Dervenin, God of Madness and Chaos..." he took a bow, "...At your service."
  
  He lifted his head with that same demented grin on his face, staring for a second then fully standing up and taking another bite of the cheese wedge and leaned against the door of his cell, "Now tell me. What is it that you, a fragile, little, expendable mortal, truly want from this world?" He disappeared around the corner of his cell, reappearing on his left side, "Is it world conquest?" He appeared on his right side, "All the women, riches and power you could ever wish for?" He then reappeared once more outside Kuragiri's cell, "...or was it the other way around? I could never get the order right. Ooooh! Ohh! Did you want to escape your chains?"
  
  Dervenin turned and walked through the cell doors, laughing with his signature demented laugh, offering his hand to Kuragiri and lowering his voice, "Your salvation is but a handshake away..." He said with that demented grin on his face.

Domori stood back up slowly as Kumii checked on him.

"Yes, yes. I'm fine." he wheezed, regaining his composure. Taking in a deep breath, he continued, "Now...let's work on getting your sister back."

He looked over to where Heath and Death Knight were at. It seemed that the woman from before was gone, and now it was just the two powerhouses duking it out. However, neither seemed to be landing any attacks.

"Heath is dealing with the knight man right now..." Domori began. "We have to defeat him, right? I mean...in order to get you sister back? So come on!"

Kuragiri halted his words once more. Gears spun in his head as he came to a conclusion.

"Oh...OH!" Kuragiri exclaimed. Then, he began to laugh. "Oh shit, I'm actually going insane in here. I'm seeing things now, what the fuck?" Kuragiri's laughter continued, with his eyes watering from amusement. Then he suddenly stopped laughing. Staring deeply at the man before him he said, "Wait...why the hell did I think of some creepy old guy?"

Kuragiri burst out cackling again once more, his abs flexing as tears streamed down his face. "Shit, I'm done for!"

He tried to counter but entirely, possibly he panicked a bit with his counter. Regardless, he regained himself, "After back and forth exchange, once of us was bound to mess up.

  Dervenin walked over to Kuragiri and undid his binds. How he did this is a mystery, "Let's stir up a little chaos, shall we?"

"Wait, you-" Domori began to say to Kumii as he left, but it was too late, so he just said, "Rest yourself!"

Then, to Domori's surprise, Mei stepped out of the portal, taking Kumii's place. He smiled as he saw her and said, "Mei! Welcome back."

Domori took a second to assess his injuries. He touched his wounds gently. The gash on his forehead, the slash on his back, and the cut on his shoulder. He winced in pain a bit, but shook it off.

"Kumii and I got into a bit of a scuffle with some demons." he chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. "But forget about me. I just...are you okay? You, uh...weren't really yourself earlier, Mei."

Heath ignored the knights words, focused on the battle and determined to defend his kingdom. He positioned himself at the Death Knight's left side, pivoting on his heels to get there. Heath then used earth magic to wrap his arms into a sharp cone. After, he began to send a flurry of slices the knight's way, leaving slashes in his armor. And ending the combo, he thrusted into his side, piercing his armor a bit and hopefully reaching his skin.

  The Death Knight had trouble dodging Heath's attack and his final thrust did manage to dent his armor where struck, however he took that to momentum and used it to disengage some. As he disengaged, he formed a Dark Spear in his free hand and threw it at Heath's feet. The spear struck the ground and lingered for a few seconds as lightning struck wildly around the spear before both the lightning and spear vanished.

The archer read Mei's lips.

Domori then let out a weak cough and smiled. "I'll be alright...as a Royal Guard, I'm supposed to be able to take this kind of stuff. As long as you're okay-"

Cutting Domori off was a demon whizzing past his head and then crashing to the ground. Looking up, he saw Firebrand, their largest foot soldier, taking on a group of them. "Right...no time for chatting."

Domori laughed hoarsely for a moment and then stood up slowly, wincing a bit as he did so. He looked around at the chaos ensuing around him. Dead bodies littered the ground, the scent of death clogged the air, and the sounds of clashing weapons and blasts just barely got through his earplugs. He shook his head.

"I can't wait for this all to be over..." he muttered, nocking another arrow before turning back to Mei. "We must deal with the knight. Heath's trading blows with him right now, and, I have confidence in him. But...I've never met someone as strong as Heath until now, and that's Kumii. And if someone as powerful as Kumii considers the knight is a serious threat, then I will too."

Domori glanced over at the two powerhouses fighting.

"We should go over there and help." he pondered for a moment. "Well, Kumii said he'd be back. So...do you think we should wait for him first?"

"No!" Kuragiri shouted at Dervenin. Then, he lowered his voice. "No, no. D-Don't shackle me back up. Please. Okay? I...you said...stir up some chaos? Wh...what? Listen to what's going on above us. It sounds like it's too late for that now."

Domori stood up quickly, dusting off his pants. He rubbed his wrists gently, wincing from the immense pain in them.

"Shit. And, uh, I couldn't stir up chaos if I wanted to. My magic...it isn't working."

  The Death Knight ducked out of the way and placed his armored gauntlet on Heath's face. A dark magic flowed from it and began to flay Heath's soul. On top of the damage, it also would inflict Heath with paralysis and Mind Wipe. The Death Knight pulled his hand away and took a step back.

  Dervenin looked at Kuragiri as he stated that his magic wasn't working, "You could rely on your weapon, magics and sneaking.... sure... sure..." Dervenin held out both hands and gathered void magic below them, "...or you could use..." After he said this, a walking cane appeared in Dervenin's hands and he held it out towards Kuragiri, "MY WALKING CANE!!! Eh??? Eh????" He tone got a tad more playful but demented, "Didn't see that coming did ya?"

Domori nodded at Mei, then shakily brought the nock of his bow to his cheek, aiming at the Death Knight.

"I'm already a little roughed up..." Domori breathed out, preparing to fire. "I'll stay back here and try to deal damage from a distance. You get in close and I'll cover you, alright?"

Domori's eyes widened as he saw Heath stumble a bit.

"Hurry!"

Then, he released a flurry of light arrows, sending them the Death Knight's way.

As the Death Knight placed his ice-cold gauntlet upon Heath's head, a sudden wave of fatigue swept over him. He felt as if his very soul was being drained and damaged by the touch. It was like a numbing chill seeping into his bones. And to add to his torment, he found that he could no longer move his limbs, as if they were held in place by an invisible force. With all his might, Heath struggled to break free, but it was futile against the Death Knight's dark magic. Each second felt like an eternity as he lay there, helpless and at the mercy of his enemy's twisted intentions.

Heath's eyes widened as he looked up at the Death Knight, his mind being assaulted with confusion.

"The fuck?" he said. Then, he placed his hand on his head and chuckled in disbelief. "I-I have to be going insane. This is a dream or something. This is all too stupid to be real life."

Kuragiri pinched himself, and when he felt pain, he looked back up at Dervenin in shock.

"Y...You're actually real? This stupid shit is actually real?"

  The Death Knight looked up just in time to see Domori's arrows flying at him, he leaned to the side and watched as they harmlessly flew by. After that, Mei charged in with her claws and managed to catch Lutherd off guard but he still reacted rather quickly and grabbed Mei's wrist and began to use the same magic on her as he did on Heath.
  
  Mei screamed in pain as she felt her very soul get beaten and flayed. After the Death Knight had let go, she fell to the ground in the same state as Heath. Paralyzed.

Domori watched as both Heath and Mei were neutralized. In mere seconds, he was the only one standing. "Mei!" he yelled out at the sound of her screams. He gritted his teeth and stood upright, feeling a chill go down his spine at the Death Knight's gaze fell upon him.

"Shit!" Domori cursed as he moved in toward the Death Knight, deciding that long range was useless with his two up-and-close fighters immobilized.

As Domori charged at the knight, wispy trails of green magic began to emit from his mouth as he exhaled, just like when he killed the demon. He took in a deep breath as he found himself just a 12 feet from the knight.

"Pierce!"​

Upon speaking, a lightning fast beam of sound magic blasted forward from Domori's mouth. It blitzed toward the Death Knight, a shockwave trailing behind it as it collided with his chest.

Domori coughed violently once the beam was sent out, feeling more pain in his throat.

A primal roar ripped from Heath's throat as he fought against the invisible shackles that held him in place. His jaw clenched with determination as he strained every muscle in his body, desperate to break free of the paralysis consuming him. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he focused every ounce of willpower, pushing past the fear and pain coursing through him. Finally, a flicker of movement in his leg gave him hope, and with a burst of energy, he willed himself to stand up. Grunting and gritting his teeth, Heath rose to his feet, fueled by sheer determination and frustration at being held captive by his own body.

"Ima kitanai itazura o shite iru nodesu ka?" Heath murmured to himself. [Translation: Playing dirty tricks now?]

  The Death Knight slid back as the sound wave collided with his chest, briefly knocking the wind out of him. However, he managed to recover rather quickly and retaliated by throwing a Dark Spear at Domori.
  
  Meanwhile, Mei shook off the paralysis, same as Heath and got up. She held her head momentarily as she still felt the chill of her soul being ripped apart by his attack, "Damn..." she muttered to herself.

  Dervenin shimmered out of existence and reappeared a ways down the hallway at a point where the hall split into two separate paths, "Which path will you choose?"
  
  He chuckled, "One path leads to salvation and your freedom from you bonds..." he motioned left, "...the other leads to certain death for you." he motioned right but put a finger up, "Ah... but which one is it?" He put his fingers together, "Pick wisely." He then pointed at the Walking Stick that Kuragiri was holding, "Alternatively, you can use that Walking Stick to choose for you..." To use the Walking Stick option, all Kuragiri needs to do is tap the Walking Stick on the ground once.

Domori narrowly dodged the spear from the Death Knight, but it sliced along his arm, causing him to cry out in pain as he clutched it. He panted heavily as blood came from it, sending a sharp pain throughout his arm.

"Agh!" Domori cried out in pain. But he knew that right now, he could not afford to halt his attacks. So, Domori slowly and painfully lifted his bow and brought the nock to his cheek. However, just as he was about to release it, another stabbing pain shot through his arm, causing him to drop his bow and clutch it again. Moving his arm only increased damaged it even more, bloodying his kimono even more. He dropped to his knees, groaning in pain.

"Fuck...!"

  The Death Knight dodged to the side of Heath's haymaker then deflected Mei's attack away from himself and formed a dark spear in his free hand. Instead of throwing it at Mei or Heath, he threw it at Domori. When the spear struck the ground, it spawned bolts of lightning that struck the area around it.
  
  Mei shook off the feeling and charged in for an attack but was ultimately deflected away by Lutherd. She came to a stop just a few feet away from the Death Knight as she watched him throw his dark spear at Domori, "Domori! Look out!" She cried out.

As Domori struggled to regain his balance after his earlier missteps, a spear flew through the air towards him. It landed on the ground just inches away, sending a jolt of piercing pain throughout his entire body. But that was only the beginning. The spear's tip began to emit an otherworldly energy, causing bolts of bright blue lightning to shoot out in all directions. Domori screamed as the electric shocks coursed through every inch of his body, leaving him trembling and falling to his knees. The bolts seemed unending, but finally they dissipated along with the spear.

Domori remained on the ground, paralyzed with shock and fear.

Reacting immediately, Heath dashed toward Domori and moved him out of battling range. Then, positioned himself between the archer and the knight.

With genuine concern in his voice, the king murmured. "Domori. Are you alright?"

When he didn't get a response, Heath turned his head back to the Death Knight and narrowed his eyes. Then, he looked over at Mei.

"Mei...I may not be your king, but please follow my commands here. We severely lack coordination. Plain rushing in and hoping to land an attack serves to be ineffective, and I'm ashamed for doing myself in the first place. Hope will not bring us victory here. We need strategy. And from I've heard from Kumii, you're exceptional when it comes to that kind of things."

Heath gave Mei a nod.

"If I can just find an opening...Mei, once I get an attack off, take flight as you did before, do you understand?"

  Mei covered her mouth as the attack put Domori out of commission. She turned to the Death Knight, "I won't let you kill anyone else I care about!" She yelled at him.
  
  She looked back at Heath who said they'd need to coordinate their attacks, reluctantly she agreed, "I feel gross taking orders from someone who isn't Kumii but seeing as he isn't here right now... i'll listen to you for now." She attempted to knock the Death Knight back but... well the Knight was remarkably sturdy. The Death Knight tried to go for his own attack but Mei was quick enough to evade it.
  
  She took up a position about 3 feet away from Heath, "Sorry, I had to see if it would work."

Heath sighed in frustration and closed his eyes for a moment. "It's...It's fine. Just follow my lead, understand?"

Without waiting for Mei's response, Heath began to walk toward the Death Knight, keeping his eyes on him for any movements. Then, once he was in his desired range, he got into a taekwondo stance, the Renoji Dachi stance. The king raised his leg up to eye level, and then with devastating force, he brought his foot down onto the ground, creating a small barrier as he smashed it. From his slam, a powerful shockwave shot forward toward the Death Knight, exploding abruptly as it reached him.

But that was not all.

The ground began to shake violently beneath the king's feet, all around the throne room. It was as if an earthquake had begun right under the empire, shifting the tectonic plates.

"Mei! Get into the air, now!"

  Dervenin grabbed his cane and spun around, "The chaos is almost palpable! Hahaha!" Dervenin opened the door and a bright light flashed Kuragiri. He was temporarily blinded but ultimately he escaped.
  
  The God of Chaos kept his word.
  
  When Kuragiri would regain his sight, he would find that he was holding the cane that Dervenin gave him but the God was nowhere to be seen. Only an eerie voice echoed away, "I look forward to seeing how you deal with the upcoming chaos.... Kuragiri..."

Heath's flurry was dodged and parried by the Death Knight, making his attacks useless. The king grunted and twisted his body toward the Death Knight, prepared to send another strike his way. But instead, he had to leap back away from his foe as a sudden burst of flames engulfed him. Heath could feel the heat against his skin even from afar.

It looked to do some damage to the Death Knight, as he visibly ticked and grunted. But he didn't let himself go out like that, and was able to get a grip on her, holding her by the neck. Magic flicked throughout the air for a moment. At first, Heath thought the Death Knight was about to use an ability on Mei, but nothing happened. She remained unphased as she glared at him with steel resolve. In that moment, the king's respect for him took an uptick.

In an attempt to free her from the knight's grip, Heath bull-rushed toward his foe once again. In a mere second, he was right beside the Death Knight, and so was the arm that was gripping Mei's neck.

The king's muscular leg shot out in a perfectly executed roundhouse kick, connecting with the Death Knight's metal-clad arm. The impact was like a thunderbolt, sending a shockwave through the air. The knight's armor crumpled and buckled under the force of Heath's kick, and the sound of his arm snapping echoed through the throne room.

[The Death Knight, and anyone else grounded (besides Heath), gain the effect Instability, which takes a -3 to their AC for five turns. Turns remaining: 3]

"What? What the hell are you---shit!"

Kuragiri raised his hand to cover his eyes as a bright light assaulted his eyes when the door was opened. It was so bright it was blinding. Kuragiri quite literally could not see a thing. He reached out, trying to grab something or someone, but to no avail.

But eventually, his sight came back to him. But now he was alone. Kuragiri looked around him, and Dervenin was nowhere to be found. The only trace of him left was his cane, which was still in Kuragiri's hand. The boy stood there for a moment, trying to collect his thoughts in silence. He was confused, but he was free, just as he asked.

A chill went down the bandit's spine as a voice suddenly, rang throughout his head, uttering the words,

"I look forward to seeing how you deal with the upcoming chaos.... Kuragiri..."

Kuragiri froze again. The hairs on the back of his neck stood. His breath caught in his throat. His heart suddenly raced. Kuragiri was in utter shock, and maybe even a tinge of fear. He couldn't think straight, and so, he just said,

"Thanks, Dervenin..."

Kuragiri looked up at the staircase that was on the other side of the door, leading up to yet to another door. He shakily began to walk up the steps, his shoes clacking against the ground in repetition, like a doomsday clock counting down to his demise. In this moment, he could only think about everything Dervenin had said.

Clack.

"Although... madness... always wins in the end..."

Clack.

"The chaos is almost palpable! Hahaha!"

Clack.

"Oh and this has everything to do with you. You just don't know it."

Clack.

"Let's stir up some chaos, shall we?"


And finally, Kuragiri pushed the door open, bracing himself for the chaos he'd encounter.
