>>6083542Without considering moving away you stay still, letting Mechikabura raise his hand, firing a blast of his dark power over you. The attack burns, scalding your flesh as you feel the armor he'd magic'd around you also get blasted away. And as he ends his attack, you're standing where you had been stark naked, but surprisingly your skin is only slightly red from the blast.
“There, I no longer sense any trace of it on you.” he says, nodding to you before turning a bit, reaching out with his right and creating one of his dark portals. “I thank you for your help, General Karn. This portal will take you back to your home the instant you left, if you need anything, please, feel free to reach out to me.”
“I will.” you say, turning to the gate. But the moment before you would step into it you stop, turning and looking back to him. “But, I do have a question.”
“Of course. What is it?” he asks, sounding mildly bemused.
“That weapon, the Nightmare Realm weapon Towa stole to escape. Where did you get it?” you ask, the Demon God smirking a bit at the question.
“I found her.” he says, your eyes widening in shock. “But she's a slippery one. Chronoa slipped through my fingers. But I took her hidden fortress, and that weapon was one of the items recovered.”
“So you thought she'd be hiding there?” you ask him, Mechikabura nodding. “I fought someone, who may have been her. Right before I slipped through, they used divine power to make a rainbow-like wall between us, intercepting my blast just before I escaped.”
