Zephaniah gave a slight grin as he continued to walk through the darkness. He placed the Kilika Orb, which he had removed from an earlier part of the stone maze, onto the pedestal directly in front of him. The wall that obscured a hidden stairway then revealed its old, stone steps. They ascended until the boundless night sky could be seen. The night sky stretched throughout the horizon with its countless stars. Leon soon spotted the temple as they headed towards it. The night was serene and quiet as only footsteps on the hard concrete steps of the temple could be heard.
When they entered the Kilika temple, the black mage signaled for the priest to prepare a room for Lady Alyssa and Sir Leon. The temple priest nodded as he ran off to prepare the rooms. Leon still wondered why this white-haired stranger was being so nice to them. He shook the thought off as the priest returned and informed them that the rooms were ready. Leon carried Alyssa again as he gently lowered her onto a soft and comfortable bed. Leon and the black mage then returned to their individual rooms and slept peacefully for the night, knowing that the lady summoner was having a good night's rest.
Alyssa's azure eyes reflected the serenity of the surrounding. She realized that she was in an unfamiliar place, one that seemed like a place her dead father had told her of about before. Alyssa racked her brains as she searched every last corner in her brain for the answer. She then smiled as she finally figured out the answer…
"Sin! Sin! Everyone run for your lives!" A man from the interior of the temple yelled.
Chaotic shouting could be heard as the entire Kilika Village turned into pandemonium. Leon, Zephaniah and Alyssa woke up with a sudden jolt. They looked out their room windows and saw a flying beast in the air – Sin. They immediately grabbed their weapons and left the temple grounds, only to be greeted by the horrendous Sinspawn Geneaux. The sinspawn then withdrew into in its impenetrable and impregnable shell while allowing two of its tentacles to emerge from the stone floor. Leon assaulted the shell with his broadsword but to no avail. Zephaniah then tried to cast a Fira spell but the tentacles took the blow, protecting the sinspawn. Leon then tried to lacerate one of the tentacles, cutting it dead. Alyssa cheered enthusiastically at the sight of this kill.
The sinspawn's shell opened slightly as the sinspawn inside "sighed", releasing a violent puff of its breath onto the trio, knocking them off their feet. The dead tentacle then grew back and attempted to whip Alyssa. Zephaniah struggled to get to his feet as he launched a stream of fireballs onto both tentacles, causing them to become temporally dead.
The angry Sinspawn Geneaux then opened its unassailable and unyielding armor, revealing a hideous but vicious looking flesh-eating flower that spat out venomous toxic. Before anyone had any time to do anything, the tentacles shook the damage off as they performed their "Staccato" attack. The tentacles went berserk as they began to randomly hammer the trio. The tentacles then proceeded to ensnare Zephaniah and Leon. The tentacles then applied pressure as they squeezed them, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Alyssa was definitely hurt from the attack but managed to stagger to her feet from sheer willpower. She looked to both of them for advice but they were getting the life squeezed out of them as they were being drained of oxygen. Zephaniah, however, managed to whisper, "Ifrit", before he passed out.
Alyssa picked up her wand as she drove it into the stone floor. A circle of fire surrounded the rod as the ground shook violently and rumbled. A demonic figure then rose from the ground. Ifrit looked like a very muscular, demonic, red lion with two horns. It stands on two clawed feet and two very sharp claws. It growled as it used its Meteor Strike, an attack that conjured a fiery comet for Ifrit to lob at its opponents, which eliminated each tentacle one by one. This forced the tentacles to release both Zephaniah and Leon.
Ifrit then jumped high up into the air before summoning a giant comet, which it used as a weapon to drop onto the sinspawn. It threw the comet down with enormous strength, causing it to burn up in flames. This attack was known as the scorching "Hellfire".
The comet smashed Sinspawn Geneaux and its tentacles as it collapsed and turned into many pyreflies. The tentacles also died and turned into pyreflies. Zephaniah smiled at Alyssa and gave a thumbs up to her. Alyssa gave a weak smile as she smiled and gave a thumbs up back.
