Authors note: well new chapter and new adventure for Sarah as if you are wondering when the Castlevania stuff happens…soon as we get a taste of Sarahs power but until its triggered similar to Light from Lv.9999 Gatcha, it needs the right atmosphere.
There maybe crossovers from games like "Moonstone island" but as support to help the heroine and will help out
Chapter 2: Into the sewers…to remove clogs
Sarahs vo: I am not gonna lie that having secret motes is a good boon help and learning how to use there strengths to help me out in battle so that I can avoid using soul magic…eh wraith magic as I explained to a unique mote I gave the name Arcive
It shows Sarah expliaining Wrath magic as using the paper in Arcives book to draw out a diagram on how it works
I will refuse as it means using corpses, I have more respect for the dead to do that but it wont stop those Marry su heros to spread the rude rumors about what it is
It shows Sarah walking through town to goes visit Veshari to get some scrap to create guns for her idea but sees the stares of the citizens all over her as Pyro wanted to do soemthing but Lavaos gently stopped him shaking his head "*Whispers* its not worth it Py, there chose to be sheep in a way" she said as in Vesharis smithery with the scrap metal and Sarahs guiding help Melderli hammered and crafted what looks like a pair hand guns as Rellry with some of the scrap cloth made a pair of holsters for them as she put them on her hip along with her magic bag "Perfect to my specs you two and now we got long range" said Sarah twirling one of the guns as Veshari studied the odd weapons to him "I never seen such odd weapons like these are they weapons from your world?" He asked "They are and they are called guns they fire items called Bullets which is really dangerous if it impacts on a target, instant kill if it hits your brain or heart, but damaging if you hit the leg or arm but I dont need bullets instead Pyro, Aoi can you enter the guns and possess them" she asked as the two motes entered the guns as they were covered in a red and blue aura. "Like this?" Asked Pyro from the gun "Bingo and I think this is gonna cost me my MP but I have long range *Crosses them* Arcive think you can allow me to use your notebooks to keep notes on Mote effects on weapons?" Asked Sarah as the Library mote got sparkly eyed "Really? Research on the way we motes can help" he asked "Mostly the elemental types but that is the jist of it you guys are gonna have to do the spell casting and possessing my sword and these guns, I can take care of monsters out there" said Sarah with convention and readiness.
With her new weapons to go with her sword (And with permission to take the scrapped cloth and metal for later) Sarah made her way to the castle but hid a bit seeing the heros go out on another crusade "Dont you want to talk to them?" Asked Lefia hiding in Sarahs hair "Nah they marked me as a soul wrath user and I dont trust them as far as I can attempt to throw any of them…though if I want to survive…I may need to figure out how to level up" said Sarah as she stepped into the castle.
"I wonder if there is a guild I can sign up for and accept missions and quests" wondered Sarah as she saw the younger princess as she walked over "Excuse me your one of the princess I saw at the summoning um? What is your name?" Asked Sarah "Oh my name is Otohime its nice to meet you properly " she said "Same and wondering if there is a guid hall I am thinking of signing on as a adventurer to gain EXP and well explore the land…unforutnally on my own because the heros hate me" said Sarah annoyed tone recalling all there looks and glares all because she had Soul magic "Unfortunately blame my older sister they are feeding into there ego, plus you need to be Lv.5 or above to sign up for the guild, but dont worry I have an idea of how you can get the EXP you need in addition, perfect your mote buddies skills" she said surprising Sarah and her partnered motes "You can see all of them?" She asked as Otohime gestured to follow her.
Minutes later they came to the basement to a covered hole as Otohime lifted it "Um why are you asking me to go into a hole?" Asked Sarah as she, Arcive, Pyro and the others peeked down "Well as a quest from a princess you must clear out the clogs before they cause problems" she said "So you are asking me to go into a hole to clear clogs? Please tell me if there are at least monsters to at least make this about half enjoyable because I want to practice in real combat by fire" said Sarah "There are a few types down there Sewer slimes, Sewer rats, Sewer skeletons (Sarah: wait what?) Sludgdies which are mud like golems that sort of thing but a best to have a Air mote partner or know a wind spell or a fire spell or fire to help against such creatures" said Otohime "Well I have Pyro and Lavaos, will that work?" Asked Sarah "Yup, and if you are lucky maybe you can find a Shadow, Smoke or Fog Mote since they love places like that or a 1 in chance rare Poison mote (Sarah: poison mote?) Think of them like Water motes but with a red jagged mouth a fair warning some can be a bit mean" said Otohime as Sarah nodded "I will keep an eye out for that *Otohime holds out a pair of boots* what's that?" She asked "A repellent and a boost to poison resist since you are gonna trudge through who knows what it also emits a aura that protects against the sludge" said Otohime as Sarah placed on the boots "Thanks Princess I appreciate the opportunity to practice and to also help" said Sara as she looked down.
"Well being a hero means being dirty…so here is me being a dirty hero" said Sarah as she walked down the latter with her mote pals floating near her giving a soft glow as she reached the bottoms, there were some stone paths out of the water and the main glow was from torchers with yellow stones that take the place of flame torches "Fascinating though why do they use glow stones instead of the usual flame torches used normally" said Arcive taking note in his "Material" book "There maybe a chance there is methane which is very flammable" said Sarah as she continued down the path as she saw a ladder as she climbed down into a wide hub like area with 4 diffrent paths "Alright according to Otohime there are 5 clogs blocking the paths so we need to take each of them out…while avoiding as many monsters as we can" she said though she maynot ignore the monsters on a while to practice with her new guns and the possibilities with them as her chronicler keeps notes. "With the books you allow me to work with I can make a map so that we cant get lost" said Arcive showing a piece of paper with a sketch of the hub like area to the entrance "So we wont get lost in this icky yucky place?" Asked Bubbles from the grimware as she and Aoi didnt like the feeling of the place and wanted to stay in the grimware which Sarah understood as she asked Lavagos to take her place in the gun, the same with Leafia as there was no natural sunlight and the air was polluted, but will pop out to do quick heals.
"Looks like it, which is good now come on we got 5 clogs to clear out nad we need to be careful if there are monsters we need to be ready to switch out." Said Sarah as she looked around and decided the first left path to see if there are any clogs down the four paths as she felt the path was old but still function as she looked around "So this is a sewer run, wont lie this is gross but I hope there were some monsters to fight" she said wanting to fight to get some exp which she got when green Neopet like slugs called Slorgs around 2 as they charged and tried to ram her but she dodged as she pulled out her guns "Lavaos, Pyro" said Sarah "Were on it" said Pyro "Mmmm" said Lavos as they possessed her guns as she fired mana bullets that damaged took out the two Slorgs as they dropped 20 coins each as she pocketed them "With weak luck at least I get a little pay" she said as she didnt see 2 orbs enter her body but Arcive noticed which made him curious 'huh what was that?' He wondered as Sarah continued forward as she saw what looked like grates as her sharp eyes caught on something as she looked in
Aoi's voice: what was that?
"It looks like Smoke…with a face ah a smoke mote" said Sarah reaching in as the mote flinched "you…you can see me its super rare for humans to see me as no one wants to be associated with the dark" said the mote "Hay darkness is neither good or evil its all on the person who uses it little one *Gently pulls it out as it looked at her* and you with your smoke powers I read a few ways to use smoke magic in a way that is super helpful if you allow yourself to trust me and let me help you get to your full potential" said Sarah as the smoke mote was a little apprehensive…but nuzzled to accept the pact "I promise we can do it together and for a name…will Cloak be ok?" She asked as the now named Cloak nodded as he glowed as they transformed looking like a overcoat wearing figure in a haze but with there eyes "Wow is this what it feels like to have a name?" Asked Cloak "Is it rare for a smoke mote to get a name?" Asked Sarah allowing them t ride on her shoulder "Very rare in this territory but I heard stories about the kingdom of Lann using smoke motes for there stealth skills and ablities" said Cloak as Sarah continued forward but locked that tepid away 'that must mean that area must be similar to Japan or a fudal time that relied on ninja stealth' thought Sarah as she looked around knocking down smaller non clogs finding coins and junk, that Melderli asked to keep as the junk was metal that can be used later to make into weapons or as Sarah can tell…junk armor, light but bad defense but a good start as Sarah saw a large clog "Well lets get smashing" she said as she used Pyro to burn and smash the trash and with in minutes it was destroyed allowing the water to flow.
"There you go one down four to go to take down and clear out" she said however to her surprise from the destroyed clog came creatures that Sarah can compare to a shorter version of Mossman from He-Man but covered in metal bits and parts meaning they were some sort of golems "Ok when I take out clogs be ready for um Arcive what are these?" She asked "those are Sewer golems, they must had bred inside the clogs, be careful they maybe fused with poison" said Arcive as Sarah nodded "Got it Lavos go into the sword, Cloak can you possess my cloths and if you do what types of benefits can that give?" Asked Sarah as Lavos entered the sword "If I enter your armor you can use smoke magic and also can give yourself a smoke body and with practice can short distance teleport" they said entering her cloths giving her a dark purple haze as the two golems tried to charge but with Cloaks help managed to teleport shift away as she did a spin attack with Lavos elemental help cut through them defeating them as Arcive noticed two odd orbs, a yellow orb and red orb entering Sarah oddly to him 'those orbs again?' He wondered "Wooh that was fun I think I am getting used to doing skills similar to Link from Loz *Rubs her chin* hummm…maybe, I may need a shield later" she said as she continued forward and saw a lever curious as she pulled it as she heard the noise of something draining
Aois voice: that sounds like something was draining
"Why do I have a weird feeling the fifth clog will be a boss" she wondered as she decided to check back in the central area as she studied the central big entrance as she decided to check that central area as she walked down the path and saw heckling smoke motes "just avoid them some Smoke motes can be bitter with there bad rap and will take there frustrations out on Motes with pacts" they said from Sarahs outfit as she nodded "Figured as much" she said as she got to a large flowing hole filled with water but it seemed to had lost some water meaning it has a drain as she got on the stone steps and saw a ladder "Yep I feel like the more water I drain it will lead to something…big" she said as she returned to the central area as she went down the second tunnel it was longer and Sarah saw there were also two openings meaning it may stretch out a bit as she looked though them and saw growing on the walls mushrooms, atiler Mushrooms "Huh? I know I have a cousion who loves the Atiler games and good thing he told me about the materials of the game these are poison heads, Melderli, Rellry do you know any motes that can do alchemy?" Asked Sarah as the two crafting motes "Those types are rare and mostly hang around Alchemists in training" sad Melderli as Sarah harvested 6 of those mushrooms for later "Well maybe we can visit one and see if they can create medicine" she said as she continued forward and ran into a new enemy…Skeletons, but they were slightly brown meaning they had decomposed into the sewers as Sarah took a few sweeps with Lavos still attached on her sword making it easy to take out but she panted a bit "Ok while unlike in normal games the mote count goes down I will lose mana, Lavos switch with Pyro for a bit I think Magma has to much of a cost" she said as the lava and flame mote swap out as more came as she got to hacking and slashing though Arcive watched as 3 red orbs appeared into Her 'why are these orbs going into Sarah' Say Sarah, haven't you noticed when you kill monsters a orb gets sucked into you?" That confused Sarah as she checked her status screen, 1 she gained 150 EXP from the monsters she battled (And looking close she saw a ? Bellow her stats) and saying skills she got a skill screen…but there was nothing "Huh? You said a orb got absorbed into me that could mean I got Somas soul dominance magic, but apparently you are just seeing a trick of light" she said as she continued forward down that one path and managed to find a chest that she opened up and found a book that reminded her of the alchemy books Pieberry used in witch spring as she read it "[Art of golem creation] and these spells show how to make golems similar to the ones in Witch spring and it looks like it can be written in" said Sarah "there maybe more in this place as the sewers are good hiding places for theifs" said Cloak as Sarah stored it "And that explains the skeletons but I better be careful if there are skeletons, then maybe there are other aquatic monsters" she said as she continued forward as it was proven true as in a open area with a ladder to step up on 2 Castlevania mermaids tried to attack Sarah as she barrel rolled and asking Pyro to seperate from the sword as she got into slashing and attacking the two mermaid as she back stepped as they slashed and asked Aoi to switch with Cloak on her outfit to reduce the water damage as she stabbed attack one mermaid and then attacked the other and slayed the other with a bullet soul entering Sarah unknowingly as she climbed up the latter which lead to a dead end but a chest as she opens it as she founded a iron sword but the hilt had a skull that was green.
"That's a iron sword but enfused with the poison attribute, it must had been left by theifs here ages ago" said Mellrili as Sarah swapped it out with her copper sword "Better use this on monsters and be careful with it on humans" she said putting it on her back as she retraced her steps to go though the second door before she could go straight to where she thinks is the next lever to lower the water again but instead founded a chest as she opened it and inside was what looked like a rusty hand gun, but it was functioning "Hummm, I wonder if some of these thieves were descendants of reincarnated humans *studies it* rusty but that could mean it has a chance to poison a person" said Sarah but realized that it has no bullets "Or I can do my idea and have you guys possess the gun to make elemental bullets" she said as that made Arcive interested "Really that is a most unusual type of fighting with a strange weapon like that" he said as Sarah pushed him aside as they made it down the central hallway to the second clog "I think you will be protected from the bad smells, Leafia try to possess the gun to channel your power a bit" she said as Leafia peeked and then entered the gun as it glowed green "hay I can smell that nasty smell of the sewers" she said "Looks like its a anti smell chamber, lets experiment with each of you on what bullets can be made, Arcive?" Asked Sarah as the arcive mote made a new notebook "One book of magic experimenting coming up" he said writing as they came to a clog as she got to smashing it away as it was destroyed luckily there weren't any sewer golems "Whoo clog number 2 and only three to go…though number 5 maybe a big boss" she said as she saw a chest and a lever as she pulled it as the sound of more draining was heard as she opened the chest finding a magic circle slab "Ok, we need to train you guys, we need to get ready if there is something down there *Checks her stats* we need to fight monsters get to level two or three, and ask, can I form pacts with more then one of the same type of mote?" Asked Sarah "You can form more then one pact with a elemental mote the combined powers will boost the magic attribute together" said Aoi from the grimware as Sarah recalled a game a game club member she knows called Magic spring "Maybe mimic those spell combo circles like In Witches spring" she wondered looking at the slab as she got to the central area and went down the third tunnel as she got ambushed by more skeletons as she used her new sword to slash into the sewer skeletons though it seemed to attract other monsters…a mermaid and also 5 Killer fish (Castlevania) that asking Pyro to possess the gun she shot killed each one as she got 2 levels up as the killer fish had good exp, and unknown to her all 5 Killer fish souls and a mermaid soul "Looks like there maybe mutations in aquatic monsters and not just the dead" said Sarah as she continued forward smashing barrels getting rotten wood and cloth scraps that Rellry and Mellarly can use later as she passed by a opening down a tunnel as she heard a bell noise "Hero whom Motes love come to me" said a soft voice as Sarah curious entered through the tunnel as she saw at the end was what looked like a room like area, on a raised stone pice of "Land" was a tent and a lanturn with a Light mote floating around it and a rocking chair and what looks like a figure that reminded her of the sage from Moonstone island as the ruffling of paper tags seem to move "Hi…are you a hermit? Or a sage?" She said carefully as the sun mote floated close "Master Jiro called you meaning you are the one who we motes love due to your aura?" Asked the sun mote as Sarah allowed the little fella float into her cupped hands "Jiro is your master? Do you have a name?" Asked Sarah as the other floated near the mote "No Jiro just took me in and taught me how to read ancient texts and understand magics and alchemy" the mote said gently as Pyro floated over "Hay are you asleep? Are you ok?" He asked "I am awake dont worry, I just want to study the one Motes come to love and ask you this…I wish to join you as a mote partner and pass my wisdom of Alchemy to you" Jiro said surprising Sarah and the others "Your a mote? I guess you made this body to hide you are a mote?" Asked Sarah as the body shuffled a bit "Its a little diffrent, I am a Spirit who learned how to talk with telepathy and how to use my masters alchemy…unfortunately my poor master passed away but left me with the basics on how to do alchemy, I doubt the would accept a spirit to be a alchemist which is why I disguised myself" the Spirit said removing the disguise showing it was some sort of robot (A spark man) fused with a skeleton with a metal chest and fin like helmet that was purple and red and skeletal arms with a thin wire around the arm and legs with a pair of boots and white gloves hands "this is my real form my name is Jiro a hybrid of a skelly and a Longspark and I hope you can allow me and my mote to join you" they asked "Of course which may be helpful since I am trying to stay away from [Soul wraith] magic that a magic orb told me I have, but learning alchemy and forming pacts with spirits will be helpful, but fair warning I will fight with you guts *Shows her sword* I will fight with a sword" said Sarah as Jiro held out a braclet "I modified a spirit crystal to be a space that the holder can have access to known as the alchemist field, think of a portable area where one can grow crops and keep the spirits you can form pacts with safe and sound" said Jiro.
"Ooooh cool I am now thinking of that graphic novel "Spirit farmer" *takes it and puts it on her wrist It was a gold band with a long curve of a blue glass gem and smaller green gems and on the front were the symbols of the seasons* so how does this work?" Asked Sarah "Just focus and you will be pulled in to what is called the "Moonland" or a memory of it but its at its basic state as it needs a human to watch over it *guesturs to there tent* I have a basic tent with a bed and a moonstone crafting table, but I need materials and help to expand my tent and rebuild the spirit tree to form a pact with normal spirts and a green house as this band is synched with the weather of the area you are in" they said as Sarah nodded "Pack up your tent and get settled in and I will try to find items you are gonna need to be the alchemist of the party, me and my mote buddies will be sure to find materials for you" said Sarah as Jiro nodded as they used there powers to store away the tent and vanished into the gem that Sarah was gonna guess was like the territory and hopes this can evolve further.
"Ok now to find the third switch to continue to drain that space" she said as she looked at the light mote "And now to give you a name, how about Hikari which means light" she said as the now named Hikari glowed even brighter as it cleared revealing she became a cute little girl with a yellow sundress with a little white sun on the front and little cute pockets and is bare footed with grey eyes and long hair with two sun clips. "Aww look at you, guys look at her *Cue the other motes gathering together to observe Hikari who was being shy* awe you are cute" she said rubbing her cheek at how cute she is being but knew she needs to be serious…almost as she left the room and continued forward to find the third switch to continue to drain the water to get to the possible last clog as she continued forward into the hallway that seem slightly wider and filled with sewer waters as there was the sound of a stuffing noise as on the walls were green slimes that Sarah can guess are a mutative version of slimes that had adapted to the sewers territory. "Hikari you studied under Jiro for a long time do you know the weakness of these creatures?" Asked Sarah as Hikari hummed "If thy develop in this place then they are weak to light as there are creatures adapted to darkness" she said as Sarah pulled out the rusty gun "Ok that is what I need to know and I need you to possess this gun" she said confusing Hikari but obeyed as the gun glowed gold as Sarah went open fire on the slimes as they disintegrated due there elemental weakness as they left behind balls of green ooze that Jiro explains are slime balls that are used in alchemy and its best to collect to use as its a good starter for medicine making as she picked up around 4 out of the 8 she killed (and Arcive noticeda blue soul enter Sarah) as she continued on and founded the next clog "Ok Pyro take control of the sword and lets let it rip" said Sarah as the fire mote possessed the sword as Sarah slashed and broke at the clog.
"Ok we need to make a bomb to make it easy to clear away these clogs" she said as she chipped away the clog as it broke away revealing 4 sewer golems "And here I go again" she said as she looked at her sword "Pyro you ready to try some fire magic?" Asked Sarah "I am ready get ready!" Said Pyro as Sarah held the sword like a bat [Fire magic: Exploding buckshot spin attack] she chanted as she did a spin attack as from the glowing sword were many fireballs striking the sewer golems as they were badly damaged due to a weakness to fire as Sarah charged in and slashed at them to defeat them "that is clog number 3 now we got 2 left…though the fifth I got a bad feeling" she said as she walked up and pulled the lever as the echoing sound of draining water "I am getting a feeling its gonna be a boss battle so everyone lets get prepared and practice some combos" she said returning to the center area as she went down the last one on the right as Sarah feels like it will be like where the pirate captain from the haunted mansion video game with a battle gauntlet to the end as she saw a platform with a ladder meaning that maybe the last clog and switch
"Get ready everyone, wish I had a second gun, maybe if we look around hopefully we will get lucky" said Sarah as she held her gun in a ready poise as she walked forward as she was right it was a attack of Sewer skeletons, Sewer slimes, Slogs, Mermaids, Killer fish and to her surprise on the walls were Une, and corpse flowers crowing on the walls and "Jiro was this place filled with dead bodies?" She asked 'theifs and robes who made the sewers there dwellings to hide there ill gotten gains, this place was also a secret place to dump traitors and prisoners at times from kings past' said Jiro as Sarah made a face "That is something to know" she said annoyed face but was still ready to charge forward which she did as she alternated between using her sword and gun as she fired down on the Une and Corpse Flowers using Pyro to channel it as being plants they are weak to fire and then cutting through around 10 Sewer skeletons and sewer slimes with the help of Hikari as Leafa uses her healing skills growing stronger due to practicing as Archive saw more of those orbs enter Sarah (10 from the Une, 2 from the corpse weed, 5 from the Slogs, 2 from the mermaid, 10 from the killer fish, and 6 from the sewer skeletons and slimes) as he was confused on those orbs that no one can see as Sarah looted finding 5 rotten bones, 5 slime balls, Mermaid scales around six, 10 fish scales, and rotten leaves from the fallen foes "that was defiantly a brute fest *Sees some chests* but at least we can get some good rewards" said Sarah opening them finding another rusted gun, a Curved wooden staff with no gem, a Green beret from Final fantasy XII, a book with recipies on how to make bombs and how to turn magic slabs into usable casting mediums, and a steel sword "It looks like this was a thieves den but they all put had died ages ago" said Sarah as Arcive took notes on it all as Sarah checked her status she was at level 10 and talking to her mote pals her bond with them allowed them to gain some new spells which was helpful on the path "Better keep going and looking *Looks at her shirt* Cloak you doing ok?" Asked Sarah "Doing well and with the training I learned how to use my smoke to side step away to help you dodge enemies" they said "Nice a smoke dodge" said Sarah continuing forward but came into conflict with a large Sewer golem "And just in time" she said as the golem tried to slam down on her but with Cloaks help she turned to smoke and side dodged the attack avoiding the attack as she pulled out two guns "Pyro, Hikari possessed the guns were going double shooting" she said as she doubled fired onto the golem damaging it as it collapsed but in it much to her surprise was a mote that was a swamp green and big red cute chibi eyes as Sarah cupped her hand and saw how tinny it was, no bigger then a golf ball as it didnt speak but cooed "oooh this is rare a baby Poison mote, a fresh made one poor little one" said Hiker as Sarah smiled "Aww you sweet little one, you were alone from your family or clan, let me take you in Lil Tox and help you grow up into a strong and beautiful little fella" she said as Tox glowed bright and revealed a little 1 year old with green skin and cute red eyes dressed in a green Helluvaverse imp oncie and poking out was white hair "Bah!" He said as Aoi and Leafia popped out "Aww you are so cute/so sweet and adorable and cute" they said as Sarah grinned "You are gonna grow up loved and spoiled Tox" she said as Arcive flew close "Which maybe a good thing because wild Poison motes can become cruel and bully like though to see one innocent…*Rubs his chin* I wonder if its nature vs Nurture" he pondered.
"Well we are gonna see" said Sarah as she smashed the clog "Alright we got all four *climbs up the ladder and finding the switch flips it as the sound of draining water was heared. "Taking a moment to pause and say that I am about to face a boss level boss…and wondering if it will be like the legion from Castlevania portraits of sorrow or a golem…*walks back to the center area to get to the spot after all the water drained revealing a shallow bowl of water and a doorway which may had the final clog…and possibly the boss as Hikari floated out "Sarah be careful I can sense a powerful amount of magic welling up" said Hikari "Considering all these sewer monsters I believe you" said Sarah as she climbed down to the bottom and walked through the sloshing waters as it was darker as Hikari floated out to give a glow as Tox was on her shoulder curious as Leafia grabbed him "Its to dangerous now we better stay in the grimware" she said as Sarah Asked Pyro and Lavaos to enter the guns "Please dont be like the Legion but made of trash or please dont be like Baldore made of a corpse trash" said Sarah as she soon came to a large area which looks like a huge dumping area that had a huge clog pile of trash blocking a pipe that had water splashing through that was building up "Looks like that is the last clog Lavaos get ready to use your lava power we are gonna blast it big and loud" she said but before she could focus to allow Lavaos to use his power to lay lava waste…but the sound of something shifting and moving caused Sarah to pause and look up as hanging from above was a large orb of trash and from its core was a Balore but the skin was rotten and paid with green sores and more as it roared loudly.
"Far worst its a fusion of Legion and Baldore!" Yelled Sarah as she dodged the fists of the Baldore body as she saw that if the orb drops "bodies" or worst she can at least get a good distance away by climbing on what looks like platforms. "Going Long range and Hikari keep the light up can you handle the smells?" Asked Sarah "Me and Jiro studied the sewers for a long time I can handle it" said Hikari "Good gonna need light and if needed medium to cast a powerful light spell" said Sarah as she shot Pyro and Lavaos at the ball of meat sludge as it started to fall out as it…sent globs flying out to attack the human and she paquored to jump from platform to platform as she continued to fire as more fell of as the orb seem to move around reaching and trying to slam into Sarah as she knew she had to take care of two fronts, one on removing the orb and the Baldore like figure was climbing to try to kill her "And this is what happened when you fuse two powerful bosses together *Asks Aoi to channel her water magic through her sword as she did a downward slash sending a water pillar knocking more slime off the ball* this happens" she said as she knew that if she wants to badly damage the Baldore body she needs to get to the core of the Legion body which is why she shot at the 'shell' making more slime and…who knows what fall off as the Baldore mad started to fire a laser as the legion body spinned
"Why Is that thing firing a laster at us!" Yelled Arcive as Sarah jumped and dodged and moved to avoid the laser as she fired on the monster "That is because some scientist wanted to make a weapon of mast destruction in away which means it will fire lasers at use like that to break our defenses or worst!" Sarah comically yelled as she continued to fire at the shell of what she can tell is the core exploring a ghastly Green like eye "Okness if its weak vs light, Hikari possess the sword and hoping the execution is perfect" said Sarah as Hikari possessed the sword infusing it with her light energy as Sarah held the sword ready for a straight throw "Ok aim…and *Strong throw* release!" She commanded as with a strong thrust throw it cut through the eye like core like it was nothing (Which due to a light elemental weakness…it was) as it cut through embedding into a wall as the eye cracked and glowed bleeding out green ooze like substance as it the Baldor half roared in agony as if the core was actually giving it life and substances as suddenly a pentagram appeared as Sarahs eyes glowed white as she held a hand out.
On the pentagram a V like line was drawn as the Baldore and legion like core was absorbed into it as it became a grey like ball that entered Sarah as she blinked and lowered her hand, her eyes now back to normal as she shook it off "What was that?" She wondered as she saw Hikari as she hopped over to her using the platforms as she grabbed the sword "You dont know?" Asked Hikari as she shook her head "No I guess it means I prevented it from appearing again" she said as she turned and saw something in a bubble floating near her as she placed her sword on her back as she cusped her hand out as the item floated into her hand as revealing a locket that was covered in a rainbow glow "This energy…it feels like a Nova mote, which is impossible considering how Nova motes extremely rarely go to a human" said Hikari
Jiro voice: it would be wise to keep it hidden, the energy of the Nova mote and its power especially if it gained a name, is rumored to grant the user unlimited power if they trust the human.
"Though why toss a locket enfused with Nova mote power down the sewers?" Thought Sarah as she summoned Jiro and gave it to them trusting the spirit to keep it safe for now until they figured out what to do with it as Sarah looked at the last clog but oddly her eyes became pupiless as she held a hand out as with one wave it was destroyed causing water to gush out freeing the water but it was at least waist deep due to the draining system "Well all clogs are gone and Bubbles can you create a bubble around me so we can swim out of this place and report to the princess?" Asked Sarah as Bubble did so as Sarah jumped into the water and started to swim to the entrance "Well…this is the most grosses task I had done and it my first task, hopefully the next task will be less gross and more on land" she said as she got to the ladder and climbed up "its at least not to bad guys *cue Tox popping onto her shoulder cooing* I founded you, Cloak and met Hikari and Jiro and I bet they are gonna be big help…we just need materials to do it.
Jiro: and seeds, I can grow crops that can be used as materials and food for all of us
"Say no more on that" said Sarah promising to look for seeds for Jiro to grow when she builds up a greenhouse and a field to grow the plants as Sarah managed to get to the exit as she climbed up to get her next task to conquer.
The path to be a hero is a strenuous one, and sometimes you may have to do the dirty job to get there.
And while Sarah does the dirty work it shows the Marry su like heros clearing out monsters sent by the demon lord as they all seem to have a glee and enjoyment as the male enjoyed having his Herem of strong females and how easy they can cut through the beasts with no issue…though the nagging feeling about Sarah and her wraith magic…well lets just say it can eventually lead to paranoia…
Authors note: And that is a heros first quest and its not glamorous at times but it has to be done at times…and that is cleaning out the clogs which Sarah did and unknown to her gained some souls that wont trigger until she is taken to a territory similar to the one in "Twilight sorrow" of Castlevania.
