18+ Private Western Brisshal Monster Den #1

Seto Kurama · Aug 28, 2022

After receiving a request from the mayor of Aberdeen, a small town situated in Western Brisshal, Seto Kurama has been tasked with eliminating a large goblin tribe that's taken up residence within a cave that's located a few miles away from Aberdeen. Along the way however, Seto was to meet the Mayor's contact whom would aid him in the destruction of the goblin tribe, who unknowingly to the Phantone Demon, would be his old servant, @Zaku.

It wasn't a request he had been expecting but It was fine nonetheless, even If It did prevent him and Riza, his maid from returning from the capital. Since It was only goblins, he figured this wouldn't take long. There was always the concern Riza could get injured or worse, captured but he knew leaving her behind in Aberdeen would cause problems and he had no intention of leaving her behind on a threat that wasn't even that threatening. Regardless, upon accepting the old man's request, he and Riza departed Aberdeen immediately and made their way into the forest nearby. It took little over a hour of searching through the thick brushes of tree's but eventually, they stumbled across a massive cave entrance imbued into a cliffside. Despite their arrival however, or even searching through the nearby forest, they still haven't came across the contact he was supposed to meet. He was slightly irritated by this but considering he most likely had intelligence he could use, he figure he wait awhile before going in with Riza. As a consequence, he decided to take a seat on a nearby, large rock while Riza being his maid, decided to stand next to him, ready to serve at a moment's notice.

Theme
It had been four years since he had seen the duke so this was going to be an interesting reunion since he couldn't remember the last time he had really seen him. Zaku looked around for a moment, smelled the air, looked at his hands, and fiddled around with his fingers feeling a bit bored. At this point, he was ready for a fight, he looked over at the maid with bat-looking wings with a cocky smile as he would then do his martial arts stretching to limber up so that way he didn't feel so tight when throwing out attacks at potentially dangerous foes. The wind was blowing creating sort of an eerie type of feeling while Zaku smiled and did some squats, moving his arms around in circles as he was starting to get excited. When Zaku got excited it was either cause he want intimate time with females or when a fight was about to occur. After a few minutes of stretching till he stopped to look at the maid who was seemingly just observing him.

Well sweetheart! I hope you are ready for me... because I am about to rock you... like a hurricane... what's your name? my name is Zaku and for the record, it rhymes with boom, which is what you and I are going to do in the bedroom after this quest of doom!

He smiled at the maid and began making his way toward the cave feeling a sense of anxiousness as he couldn't wait any longer for this anticipation of battle. The urge to pound something into a pulp with his bare fists, the blood dripping off his body, the pulsating adrenaline and vibrations through his fists. He loved every second of it and he had no worries or surviving despite this being his first real mission.

maybe after this mission, maid girl, I treat you to a drink and possibly a dance, Not really my favorite thing in the world but hey, I will do it just because I am feeling in the mood for it so how about it Maid girl? you, me, dinner? and a dance? I won't take no for an answer so the answer will be yes even if you don't want to...

It was then he looked over at Seto but then just sort of dismissed him as he wasn't really sure what to say to him, it had been four years so this felt awkward to him. Zaku continued his pace toward the Cave laughing hysterically to himself with each step as continued to think to himself about how sexy he was. In Zaku's mind, he was the hottest thing alive, no other man existed beside him, "Man of man... first thing I am going to do when I get back from this mission is to strip down naked, walk into a river so I can see half my reflection... and turn Deadra... Damn, I am too sexy" After stroking his own ego he brushed the side of his while closing his eyes and smiling even bigger than before. His ego would just inflate itself with each moment that passed by, he wasn't sure what attracted him to the maid girl but the wings were possibly her most badass trait, but the blue hair, while he was a redhead, was possibly what won him over I mean really, who has blue hair? he thought to himself, he was going to wreck her world after they finished their mission.

He wasn't sure how much time had passed since he began waiting but he was beginning to lose track. Where was this "contact" the mayor spoke of? He had presumed It to be a local hunter or something of the sorts yet they were a no show. What? Did they get lost or something? Or did they NOT know about the massive cave entrance near their town? Whatever the reason was, he couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh in disappointment. This was gonna take awhile....or so he thought. Not even five seconds in and the next thing he knew, he ended up hearing some sensual banter from a voice he didn't recognize, causing him to open his eyes and tilt his head in the direction of the voice, revealing a rather large, toned man with orange. Not really sure what to make of this "Zaaku" or whatever his name was, he could only raise a eyebrow in confusion as he stared him down with a hint of suspicion. As for Riza herself, compared to her Master whom could only be described as a little dumb founded over the entire situation, she remained steadfast, defiant and composed as she usually did, even as this hysteric stranger tried to seduce her. Given her station as a Maid, It was nothing new but his inappropriate, debauched words were enough for him to gain her contempt of him, If her raised brows were any indication of that. As such, with a serious demeanor, he was met with nothing but her burning hatred of him as he began making his way towards the cave's entrance. Being highly suspicious of this fool, she was ready to attack on her Master's command. She wasn't normally one for jumping into a fight but against someone like him? It would be a pleasure to freeze him in place. Maybe she could make a sculpture out of him and present it to her Master? She was sure her Master like her present! That all changed however when the man crushed a rat within the palm of his hand. With the immediate snapping of it's bones and the rivers of blood running down the toned man's broad chest, this only caused the both of them, Master and Maid to stare the man down in a bit of confusion and contempt as they attempted to comprehend what this Buffon. Was he just a moron? Or did he believe his own hype so much It was fact? Seto had no idea but it didn't prevent the palm of his right hand slamming against his forehead in annoyance. If this was the contact....oh man, he couldn't, he wouldn't know to deal with this.....Nothing had prepared him for someone like him. Against all odds, even Riza's seemingly impenetrable wall began to falter a bit when the man threw his head over his head and attempted to seduce her further, which in returned earned her ire, especially when he pointed out he wouldn't take "no" for answer. She made a loud "hmph" in defiance before hollering at him.

As If I would ever lower myself to entertain a man like you! I am and always WILL BE Master Seto's Maid! I would never do anything to dirty his reputation like some common wench!

While Riza took her hand off her chest that had sat just above her heart, he found himself unable to resist, resulting in him tilting his head towards the ground and sighing.

God help me.....

He understood how loyal Riza was to him but sometimes he wished she wasn't so vocal about it. Being a "perfect" maid as she called it, also meant ignoring things would annoy her. It was clear to him she would need some work. Well that was a issue for another day. By the time he had risen his head however with his crimson eyes meeting her aqua blue eyes, It seemed this "Zaaku" was already gone.

unknowingly to them however, After Zaku spent a few minutes entering the pitch black cave, he would eventually stumble across a large cave(Room 1) with numerous ruined & expired goods littered about as well as a...

Zaku's Theme

Despite The maid's harsh response, Zaku just seemingly ignored her and Seto despite their undoubted annoyance towards him. He made himself inside the cave and stared down the goblin horde with a greeting smile on his face as he began to crack his neck on both sides, crack both of his knuckles, and slam his fist into his palm as he roared back at the horde in alpha like roar only a human could make. In an attempt to scare them or at least pause them from charging he took no chances as he knew if allowed them to get too close they could dish out some real damage, therefore his serious demeanor finally burst to life. The side that would only ever be seen during battle, his face grew serious and emotionless as he yelled out the words and chants...

The names ZAAKU!!!! IT RHYMES WITH DOOM!!!!! AND YOU ARE ALL GOING TO BE HURTING, ALL. TOO. SOON!!!!!!!!! TIME FOR YOU TO MEET THE ONE AND ONLY ZAKU!!!!!!!!!.

As he chanted those words of confidence he motioned his hands, elbows, and legs doing flamboyant stances and gestures as he seems to set himself up for some sort of attack.

Come on you midget green MOTHER FUCKERS!!!!! I ain't got all day Either attack or stand there and DIE!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHHAHAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EARTH SMASH.

Flavor Attack:

With this said he slammed both of his fists into the ground so hard the ground in front of him in a wide trail broke apart creating sharp spikes of rocks to rise up. If the rocks were successful in rising up they would surely kill every single goblin with pinpoint accuracy even if one or two survived it wouldn't be enough to stop him.

Upon meeting her gaze with his own, It only lasted a few seconds before Riza turned away, turning her attention towards the cave entrance. Once she seemingly came to the same conclusion as he did, she shifted her aqua blue eyes back on him, this time with a bright smile.

Can we go Master? I wanna save those young girls before it's too late!

Caught off guard by her sudden eagerness, he found himself a little off guard, causing him to blink twice with his eyes, as If dumb founded, before eventually eyeing her with skepticism. When did she learn about Greenskin reproduction? More importantly, HOW did she learn of it? And why? It wasn't exactly a topic most enjoyed reading about, himself included. In the end, he ended up sighing with his eyes closed. He didn't know and frankly, he probably didn't want to know but with that redheaded buffon, whom ever he was, he put that aside from now, especially when she was right. He couldn't be sure but he knew there had to be many within that cave that would need their help. After all, he couldn't leave any Astorean to such a fate....unless they truly deserved it, like Vivian. Regardless, once he rose his head, flashing his eyes open and seeing Riza's draconic like wings flapping in a excited matter, he nodded with a serious expression.

Right....Let's go.

Giving him a energetic nod of her own, Seto pulled himself off his resting spot before reaching out with his hand. Within seconds, his Odachi materialized within the palm of his hand. He than dropped his right arm to his waist before turning gaze upon the entrance of the cave. He was now ready. With Riza strictly behind him, functioning as his support should he ever need it, the two made their way into the dimly lit cave. It didn't long however before the two were in the first room but upon their arrival, the two found themselves slightly disgusted by what they saw. Between the numerous, ruined crates, wagons and other stolen goods and of course, that god awful smell that littered the room, they were definitely in the right place. Riza in particular was affected in ways he could not but that was to be expected, after all she was part bat, whom were known for their keen sense of smell and hearing. It didn't help either that the room was now littered with numerous dead goblins. Annoyed and disappointed by that buffon whom was standing in the center of the room amongst a pile of corpses, he nodded his head before giving him a icy glare. For a moment, he wanted to kill that idiot since he could have made the cave unstable but than he remembered Riza. Shifting his head over his shoulder and meeting her gaze with his own, she tried her best to play the part of being "strong" but he could tell that was a lie. Her bent ears and the covering of her nose were dead giveaways that the smell of decay and waste were a bit too much for her. He said nothing though, deciding to move on, and so they did, passing Zaku along the way. This in return however caused the last remaining survivors to flee for their lives down the next corridor. The thought of firing off a bolt of lightening did run across his mind to finish them off but he decided against it, deciding he would conserve his energy reserves for the time being. Nonetheless, after another few minutes of walking down yet another dimly lit corridor, he and Riza found themselves at what looked to be another room, this one seemingly empty besides that of a...

Caught off guard by their sudden attack on nearly all sides, his sixth sense for combat immediately flickered on. In return, he inadvertently ended up throwing Risa back with a powerful gust of wind, sending her back in the corridor behind him on her back, causing a unexpected "yelp" to escape her. As a consequence however, despite going on the offensive mere seconds later with a spinning barrage of swordplay with his blade, he couldn't hide the fact he had left himself wide open when he choose Risa's well being over his own, allowing several goblins to land hits on his body. As for Riza herself, by the time she pulled herself off the ground after being thrown back a dozen feet or so, she could see her Master in the thick of combat, tearing his way through the horde with magic and sword. Although she couldn't do much given her lack of training and experience, she couldn't stand idle and do nothing. She immediately brought her hands together, closed her eyes and began chanting quietly to herself. When she was ready a few seconds later, having gathered enough energy for what she wanted to do, she spoke up.

By the rites of the Goddess, bless my target with a burst of ice!

Moments after Risa finished her chant,, Murasama's blade became encased in a thick layer of ice, granting her Master a slight edge in combat, though knowing her Master, she doubted he even notice the difference, given his martial prowess in close combat. As she stood there however, pondering on her next move, she began wondering where Zaaku was. Was he still standing around? Or was he doing something nefarious? She didn't know but quite frankly, the more she thought about it, the less she wanted to know. Of course, all that mattered right now was supporting her Master and bringing this fight to a close. She worry about "him" later...

Zaku's Theme

Zaku noticed that Seto and the bat girl were moving ahead of him into the next area, so without a moment's hesitation, he did so as well. The smell of rotting corpses didn't seem to bug him as he began walking through them like stepping on the ground. He bent over and grabbed one of the goblin's arms, then made a flame with his hands and cooked himself a goblin arm. In doing so he began eating it as he continued to make his way into the next area. upon reaching the next room as it were he noticed that the bat girl and this Seto were already in midst of the next goblin attack. He at first decided to finish his cooked meal so as to not interrupt them, feeling Seto could handle it. After finishing his goblin arm he let out a loud belch echoing across the cave probably causing some form of disgust to Seto and the bat girl.

well now this is getting interesting...

He stated in a serious tone taking the situation with a serious demeanor from the bafoon-like personality he had before. It was like he was different when focusing on the task at hand since the goblin horde looked twice as massive as the one before. Very well he thought, it was time for him to show these two what he was made of, and so without a second to waste he made his next attack by causing the ground to clump up into the air forming into rock-hard stones all as big as his chest as he started to hurl them at the incoming horde attempting to shotgun blast the horde. however, he did find it necessary to warn Seto and the Maiden girl first before doing so.

You two should probably move! this next attack might prove to be quite lethal!!!! After all, It is being done by yours truly.

Without anything else to stop him, he made his attack shotgun blasting some rocks at the goblin horde in an attempt to break the goblins up and separate them.

While he threw himself into the horde with his blade in hand, dodging Zaku's countless rock blasts in the process, Risa slammed brought her hands together and slammed them on the ground, summoning a medium sized, icy blue magical circle. Moments later, as the icy blue magical circle continued to glow, several, icy grey colored like beasts the size of dogs suddenly appeared!

Gureishia Familiars

❰ 85 / 100 ❱

With their dark blue eyes looking up at her, no doubt for orders, Riza lifted her left hand and pointed at the enemy, ordering her familiars to attack. From there, the pack of icy gray colored fox's took off, charging towards the goblin horde in the distance. Within seconds of running down the corridor and past Zaku, the horde of familiars threw themselves into the fight. While a few would lunge, pounce and tear into whatever goblin they come across in an attempt to aid Risa's Master, others would keep their distance and fire off a barrage of small ice beams. Any victim caught in their attack would be frozen, leaving them vulnerable to attack.

Zaku just stared on as he saw the horde reducing in numbers, following Seto with his attacks on the goblins but was thrilled to see his was a success seeing some splinter off and recklessly coming towards him. As the goblins came in swinging their clubs Zaku used his martial arts, swinging low kicks to trip the goblins off balance and curb stomp their skulls in. Then send out a combination of straight punches and other hand-to-hand techniques laughing as he did so. Breaking their arms, the more he did so the more red energy seemed to flare up out of him as if the more he fought the stronger he was becoming. It wasn't long before he started moving a little too fast for the goblins to keep up with his movements.

Although they were only goblins, he found himself a little relived amidst the battle when Risa's icy familiars joined the battle, though he couldn't help but feel slightly sadden when he could see the life fading from their eyes. This only encouraged him to fight on harder, not wanting to see anymore of his comrades die, even If they were only familiars. There was no doubt in his mind that If Risa saw the killing of her own familiars, she would clearly be upset by it. Luckily for him, even though she could feel the connections be severed upon each one's death, she couldn't see it with her own eyes. Regardless, after he fought alongside Zaku and Risa's familiars for several minutes against the...

he decided on a different strategy, given their current situation. Channeling his energy until his body was nearly engulfed in electrical fire, he first teleported behind Zaku and slammed his hand on his shoulders, transferring a enormous amount of energy into his body. Before he could react however, he than followed up by teleporting on Riza's side and doing the same, empowering whatever familiars she had left with electrical power. Once he finished, he crossed his arms and watched on as the remaining...

Instead, he made his move fast without thinking, He yelled out in fury as he unleashes his most powerful attack yet. He unleashed a loud chant mouthing the words of his next attack so loud that it most likely caused the goblins to stop what they were doing to notice.

BURN IN HELL!!!! INFERNO INCINERATE!!!!!

with those loud words chanted, Zaku Unleashes a blazing flamethrower from his mouth, the attack ranged in color from yellow to orange to red with yellow electricity seemingly surrounding it as well. The flamethrower was wide enough to reach both sides of the cave and extend seemingly on forever as far as their eyes could see. after which the amount of energy he produced with such an attack rendered him into a vulnerable state as he fell to one knee grabbing hold of his chest and gasping for air. Zaku was surprised he unleashed such an attack but was now breathing heavily attempting to keep catch his breath from it. it wasn't long before he started coughing up blood and even wheezing a little bit as he was not used to using an attack so powerful.

That stood a few dozen feet. Much like Zaku's own attack, the moment he activated his skill, a intense beam of pure destruction spawned from his hand and tore through the air towards the enemy. Within seconds, his beam of destruction tore through the room and anything caught in it's wake. Anyone luckily enough to have survived would find themselves charred black and paralyzed, preventing them from picking themselves up, let alone escaping. The few survivors left unscathed would drop their weapons and flee for their lives, leaving him, Zaku and Risa to their devices. He couldn't say the same for Risa's

however. Like the honorable, faithful servants they were, they had perished protecting him and Zaku from harm so they could both landing the finishing blow to the horde. Even though they were only familiars, he felt obligated to show some respect. For a moment, he closed his eyes and tilted his head towards the ground, as If he was mourning for their loss. When he finished, he found himself face to face Risa. He could see a tear in the edge of her eye but despite that, she didn't cry. For someone whom wasn't a tamer, she showed a close kinship with her familiars in the same way a person may bond with an animal. Every loss was like losing a family member to her, he knew that but there wasn't much he could say. He had lost many companions and comrades in his life. There was no correct way on how to cope with the pain. Making a small sigh to himself, he than turned to face the exit he could see in the distance. No doubt that's where the remaining gobls had fled to, and where another horde was waiting for him. Looks like him and that buffon over there had their work cut out for them.

Theme

With victory at hand over the goblin horde, Zaku let out a sigh of relief as he watched Seto dispose of the last of them with a powerful blast of his own. At the moment of seeing everything in the room perish, he let out a loud sound of excitement. It was then Zaku realized this person he was sent to work for he was able to trust him with his life which compelled him to at least show some sort of gratitude for. His vulnerable state slowly but surely dissipated and he felt normal again which gave him enough strength to make it back to both of his feet. Despite seeing Seto give some sort of small bow to the creatures that died Zaku showed no care for such things, to him that sort of thing was beneath him. Instead, he looked at Seto and Risa examining them a bit before speaking to make sure they were both okay studying if either of them would fall over.

I thought I recognized you, Seto, I fought you some years ago, and we became friends... then I ended up leaving for other business reasons... regardless I was sent here to work for you once more... since you showed me the same honor as you did before, I will take you and this matter around me much more seriously... after all you just proved I can trust you with my life... I hope I don't regret this decision, whatever I got, whatever you need? I am all in... and it is yours, I will fight and die for the both of you if need be.

After making his speech of gratitude so to speak, he turned to Risa this time taking her a bit more seriously and speaking in a more mature tone.

And you Bat Maiden, Zaku Apologizes for being so rude before, and Zaku thanks you for protecting him in battle with your little pets... I hope this is the start of a long and fruitful relationship for all of us... also I would like to know your name if it is not too much to ask.

Zaku folded his arms and waited for both of their responses this time absorbing whatever they would need to say like a sponge as he examined the room of charred corpses and deceased goblins.

Task: N/A
Location: Room 3
Emotional State: Surprised
State: Normal

After the battle and watching the last few goblins escape with their lives, he felt like taking a break, having used a decent portion of his energy reserves yet before he could do so, he found himself a little taken back when Zaku approached him, telling him things he could remember. They fought together? When? Why? He didn't remember any of this...and did he say friends? Oh hell no, he definitely would have remembered If he had a friend like him, and It wasn't as If his old self would have tolerated his ass. Just the thought alone would have probably been enough for his old self to kill him. Though he was eying the man with great skepticism, his demeanor changed changed quite a bit when he cited the honor the two had showed each other, not only in the past but now as well. He still couldn't put his finger on who he was but he couldn't argue with what he was saying. This only made him nod in agreement, though on the opposite side of things, once he finished with his nod, he made a hand gesture supporting the otherwise, opposite.

While I can appreciate your effort for taking grave affairs such as this seriously, as well as taking a oath of honor, your words are wasted on me....for I am no longer the Duke of Ivalice, the Duke of Southern Astorea. That said, I won't turn away a warrior who wishes to do good. It's not every day you find a warrior with honor or one that follows a rigid, moral code.

After he said those words, he took a moment to collect his thoughts. In the end, he ended up going quiet as he tilted his head ever so slightly and began caressing the tip of his head chin. He was really curious who he was. After what he said about honor, It really made him curious on who he was originally. Out of all the individuals he had met in this world, there had only been three individuals he had meet that clung to the concepts of "honor" and two of them were female, one being his wife and the other being her retainer, that only left...Vartock....WAIT? VARTOCK? Upon this realization, his eyes shot up for a moment at the man, widen as they could be. It was almost believable for a moment....than he remembered he had the ability to change his appearance once he logged in for the first time. This made his pupils go around the edge of his eyes, giving off the vibe he had just remembered something, and that he was a idiot. Regardless, once he returned to normal a minute later, he ended up glaring at the man with curious eyes.

If what you said was true, than there's one thing I need to ask of you....Are you by chance...Vartock?

He said that as If he was careful, not wanting to step on a potential egg shell. Though, in good old fashion Risa fashion, before he could continue, he found himself interrupted by her equally curious tone, causing him to turn his attention on her.

Wait....You know him Master?

He nodded in response.

Yeah, something like that.

Like before, he was interrupted before he could finish but this time, instead of it being his maid, It was Zaku this time, whom to both of their shock, used the opportunity to apologize. This caused him to shift his head over his shoulder and turn towards Risa whom, much to his shock, was acting as she usually did, prim and proper, though he could see a slight arrogant smug in the middle of her smile. She was clearly enjoying this to some extent.

Your most welcome...Zaku...and I wish the same for you and Master, but as you requested, I have a name as well. It's Risa, so I would much rather prefer that over being called a "Bat" maiden.

He sighed before putting his hands on his hips.

I'd hate to cut this short and all but we got a job to do. These goblins won't slay themselves now.

Upon this realization, Risa nodded with a "Right" before taking her place at her Master's side, ready to push. In return, as he turned to face the next corridor that would undoubtly take them to the next room, he made a hand gesture for the two to follow as he began to make his way over. A few minutes down the corridor, he found himself correct as the moment the three found themselves at the end of the corridor, they found themselves now in a different room, this one littered with makeshift beds...and cages with large rats? No matter, It was only seconds before the three heard the roars and groans of the...

All three of them chatted a bit, Zaku's face sort of frowned when Seto mentioned the name Vartock as he was attempting to forget about the past version of himself he hated. However when Risa actually revealed her name and showed him some respect his face lit back up only for it to be returned to a neutral state when Seto again interrupted and told them all to focus on the task at hand. So Zaku just followed them both into the next room where he sees the horde of goblins. This time he wasn't going to be pulling any of his punches, this was like donkey kong and he was going to show both of these people what he was truly made of. Zaku made a fight stand stomping both feet on the ground causing the ground to shake and rumble as red energy began to flare up all around him. The ground continued to shake and tremble as his power only continued to climb and get stronger it seemed. Zaku's energy continued to fluctuate creating a force of winds that blew across the room like a windstorm.

After Chanting, he made many flamboyant-like stances at the goblin horde that was questionable whether or not he was gay or straight. Zaku Charged The Goblin horde engulfed in flaming red energy as he unleashed a fury of countless fist strikes either catching them on fire upon contact, disintegrating them with each martial blow, or kicking them across the room each impact of his blows cutting the goblins in half. Each blow created a wind force that was blowing throughout the room causing the other goblins to either scramble in fear or be blown back by the wind created by his energy. Like a raging wild Fire Zaku was all over the place dealing much damage to the goblin horde.

that was charging straight for them, roaring at the top of their lungs, Zaku of course was the first to make a move, having taken off like a rocket to meet the enemy head on, his empowered transformation of fire and muscle reminded him of his own, or well, at least the one he used to use while he had a demon sealed inside. Regardless though, he quickly came back to it, and when he did, he decided he provide Zaku with covering fire to protect his flank. Shifting his head back towards Risa however, whom was standing near the safety of the room, had her hands together, chanting something. He wasn't quite sure what he was doing but he was sure she was going to provide the two with some sort of support. With this mind, as Zaku handled the close combat and Risa handled support, he take his position mid way between Zaku and Risa in case he needed to move to cover either one of them. Lifting his right hand into the air, he brought his index & middle finger together before taking aiming at the horde. Once he was locked on to a target and was sure he wouldn't hit Zaku while doing his thing, he fired a bolt of lightning from the tip of his two fingers, triggering a deadening like sound similar to a revolver going off. Once his target's head was vaporized clean off, he would contiune on for several more minutes, firing off a massive barrage of Rakurai's at the enemy, all in the hopes of keeping them off Zaku. Surprising, during these few minutes, he and Zaku, from what he could see, being rejuvenated from their prior wounds. This in returned caused him to look back, revealing Risa to be engulfed in some faint, golden-white aura. He could only gamble she was using holy magic to heal them.

Zaku didn't let up for a single moment unleashing a barrage of fist and kick strikes albeit he was losing his breath, using such a technique consumed a lot of power. Therefore it shouldn't come as a surprise that Zaku's next attack wasn't as effective as before. He was burning through more energy than his body was used to. He was starting to deal slightly less damage but Zaku wasn't worried as he would continue to burn through each of his enemies with countless counterstrikes. Each attack made on him was futile as he continued to unleash more attacks, however, the white aura given to him by Risa didn't go unnoticed and it made him smile as his wounds began to heal miraculously. This inflated his ego even further as he would continue to use his Martial spirit technique to attack the horde with much success.

to eventually splinter off into several, smaller groups. This didn't matter however, even as a equal amount of goblins began charging in his direction. If they wanted to die so easily, who was he to say no? Taking aim yet again with his index & middle fingers, he continued to fire off several Rakurai's, hell bent on keeping them at bay from Zaku and Risa. Luckily, he could feel his own power being amplified by her icy like power, even If it was only marginal. Any difference would help at this point and If they kept it up, It wouldn't be long before this horde was destroyed either...

out of nowhere, it seemed Zaaku gained an adrenaline boost, his Martial Spirit Technique was burning hotter than the attack he previously dished out before. He noticed that behind him that Seto was vulnerable and also noticed that the goblins were breaking off and heading right towards him. Zaku unleashed more power and amplified his speed as he started to spin around in circles with flames engulfing his whole body and like a pinball burst forward at the small groups of goblins incinerating all of them that he touched then bursting into each of the next groups incinerating and disintegrating all of them. One by one Seto and Risa could only stand in awe or shock as they surely weren't expecting a merely weakling or bafoon such as Zaku to unleash such a ferocious level of power completely eliminating the rest of the horde. Even the ones that tried escaping felt Zaku's wrath and became engulfed in flames as the more he blazed into them like a blazing spear, the faster and stronger his hits were.

After he seemingly finished all of the remaining goblins he crashed into the ground like an asteroid creating a crater that expanded at least ten feet around in radius. now the only thing you could see was a hole and charcoal-colored smoke rising out of it. Was Zaku dead or was he just wounded? Questions for later as the goblins all dropped to ashes in mere seconds after the attacks were landed finally emptying the room.

With another horde completely destroyed, victory was there's and fortunately, there was no survivors to go tell the next horde they were coming. This caused him to break a smile, albeit a faint one, even after Zaku had made a smoking hot crater in the middle of the room. It didn't come much to a shock either that the vast majority of the goblins that had ben caught in his furious assault were now charred to pieces. Between his own assault and Zaku's, there wasn't a single dead goblin untouched by at least one of them. Those unlucky to be caught by the combination of their attacks ended up being little more than ashes on the cave ground. Once he was finished surveying their handiwork however, he decided to check up on the others. First was Risa, whom when he turned his head over his shoulder, he was met with her smile and the enthusiastic flapping of her wings. Well she was ok as far as he was concerned. This only compelled him to walk over to the edge of the crater and call out for Zaku whom was still in the midst of the crater. Resting his hand on his hip, he called out for him.

You alright? Or do you need a minute to catch your breath? There's no one around but me and Risa so you don't need to worry about looking weak. I could care less about things like that, especially after we just defeated three Greenskin hordes. Anyway, there's no shame in taking a breather. Even the most skilled of warriors need a break occasionally. When your done, come meet me and Risa at the entrance of the next corridor.....The fun only beginning....

After gifting him with his parting words, he made his way to the other side of the room where the entrance of the next corridor stood. A minute later and Risa joined him, seemingly pumped after their victory. Her wings flapping were a dead give away.

Come on Master! Lets go! I wanna see some more dead goblins and recue those girls!

Zaku just laid there in the crater for a moment as he attempted to gather his composure, but the last attack knocked the breath out of him. Although he could hear Seto speaking to him he couldn't really respond as the breath in him literally was out. After his breathing returned to normal he pulled himself up to his knees, for a moment his skin was steaming hot and letting off smoke from how hot his body heat had gotten from using his last technique. Zaku just stood up to his feet, brushed the dirt off of him, and cracked his neck a little bit to get the kink out of it. then he turned and rose from the crater. After catching up to them he had some words with Seto regarding his question from earlier.

regarding your question from earlier, I was once called Vartock, but that was merely a cheap parlor trick to conceal my true identity, what you see now is what you get... not that it really matters... but yes... I was once an even bigger fool than I am now.

After speaking his demeanor grew more intent and focused on the situation at hand disregarding anything else they had to say to him.
