Sorry for the long lack of update! Hope this extra long chapter will keep you happy!

Chapter 18: Escherion's Defeat

Escherion was pretty mad when he found out what we did to his tower. Go figure. It wasn't even his to begin with…

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY TOWER!" he exclaimed. His tower had been tipped over ever since we came up with the idea of inserting an electric appliance into the water.

It had spelled the destruction of his Chaos Beast, and pretty much spelled the destruction of the Guardian Tower too.

"That's it! I'm going to finish you off once and for all! I should have gotten rid of you while I still had the chance!" Escherion said, holding out his Staff of Inversion.

"Stop right there, Escherion!" We turned around and noticed several villagers coming into the portal. They came to help us, how sweet…too bad we didn't really need any.

"Bringing reinforcements, eh? We'll just see about that…" Escherion responded by using his Staff of Inversion on the villagers. We watched as they went under Escherion's control.

I thought that was pretty evil, and believe me; I know evil when I see it. Escherion ordered the villagers to attack us.

We didn't feel good about fighting the villagers. Yes, even though I'm an evil sorceress I still have a heart. Even evil has standards.

Well, not all evil has standards depending on what villain it belongs to. Anyways….where was I?

We found ourselves dodging pitchforks, torches, and everything the villagers could throw at us. It looks like the villagers had prepared themselves for a fight.

In the end though, we were able to overpower the villagers, and tied them up with some conveniently placed rope we found nearby.

Escherion wasn't too happy about that. Rather than free the villagers, he sent some of his soldiers at us using summoning magic.

We dealt with them like the many evil minions we had dealt with before, and soon it was only Escherion remaining.

"I guess I'll have to deal with you myself!" Escherion spat. We tried attacking him, but for some reason our attacks were doing no damage.

We soon discovered that his staff was absorbing all his blows, negating the damage. Masamune34 sneaked up behind him and broke his staff.

This really made Escherion angry. He sent countless spells after us, each one more deadly than the next.

"Stop dodging my spells!" he exclaimed. I managed to retaliate with some magic of my own, and Masamune34 stabbed him.

We finally managed to overpower him after a long showdown. Escherion stood on one knee, panting. "It seems like I underestimated you."

"You think?" I was about to launch another magic spell at him, but Masamune34 told me to stop. He thought maybe we should spare him.

I thought that was nuts. He had proved himself a menace to society. Why should we spare his life? He wouldn't have done the same for us, that's for certain.

As it turns out though, he had one more trick up his sleeve. He attempted to finish us off using a polymorph spell, which judging from the looks of things would have turned us into a frog.

Luckily Masamune34 reflected the spell using the mirror we had found earlier and he ended up turned into a frog instead.

I thought this was a riot. I fell on the floor laughing. Masamune34 thought it was funny too.

Being turned into a frog must have undone Escherion's magic, because the villagers suddenly turned into a normal. They wondered why they were tied up and what else had happened.

We received many thanks for what we had done. They did it for so long, it got rather tiresome after a while. Masamune34 obviously enjoyed it, while I simply fell asleep. Eventually, we were sent back to Battleon for our next assignment.

Masamune34 and I decided for a long rest right before the trip and get ourselves ready. We deserved a rest after all the things we had done.

I hope you liked this chapter! My old hard drive for my computer broke down, so I have to use my spare one. And other people are using it….so I won't be able to update as much. Please R&R!
