My wife was down there in shallow waters surrounded by sn...ssss...by...sssss...those accursed demons.
-"Riiiiiinrinrin...can you get out?"
My feet were refusing to move, Mini Shiriou the White efforts notwithstanding.
She waved her hand around and a shimmer of light enclosed her.
-"This will keep them at bay. Now this...owwww."
She inspected her leg and then shook her head sideways.
"My manly hubby needs to get his arse down here and carry this gentle flower. This reeeeks."
I had a hard time looking at her, all those scales moving, revolting around, twisting and eeauuughh.
-"Can you ...WATCH OUT!"
An unholy abomination as thick as a cannon slithered towards Rin, it's head sporting a gash across both eyes. I wanted to move, to fire, to cast...but my mind was stuck in a loop, my hand reaching below my pillow. The hissing. The pillow. The hiss.
-"Pietas."
From the corner of my eye, I saw movement and heard the rumbling of stone. Just my luck to get stuck upright.
Another voice answered.
-"In nomine Patris..."
The blind snake was about to munch on Rin when she unholstered the friggin hand cannon.
-"Eat this!"
The blast showered the other snakes in a shower of scales and bone, even some struck me in the face.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
My stomach evicted yesterday's breakfast the same way Raiga Fujimara deals with late payers.
After the foul aberrations of vertebrates scattered, I could move again.
-"Not so fast."
A clang and my feet were stuck again, not fear, that I had to spare, but friggin' magic.
Tall and sporting the cloth of a holy man, his hands full of Black Keys announced him as the Church's hitman. An Executor.
-"My my, small world. Now you too, be still."
With that he launched another of those blasted Mystic Codes that dug into Rin's shadow, rendering her defenceless. He leapt into the hole and walked over her, focused onto something far away.
"You forgot to account for the Lord's will. This is destiny."
I could cycle Od into my body to try to break this but that would give away my hand. And I would only get one shot. Running Structural Analysis I found a deep passageway under the shallow water.
Break free, slice the Anoyyeneer to ribbons, get the stuff. Take pictures from the cave for -
-"My beloved?"
Nope.
Cycling enough Od to make me dizzy, I tipped over, letting gravity break me free from the Black Key.
-"Yippie ki yay!"
The Executor turned around, his hand clasping an apple with gears. His other hand launched three blades at moi.
Tizona came to me and swatted aside those black flies.
-"Nope!"
Kicking aside the blade pinning Rin's shadow, I looked around and saw eyes and ssssnnnnnnnnnn
"NOPE!"
The river was friggin cold but the Executor could shove that apple where the sun didn't shine. We were outta here.
