>>5189283That voice… it cannot be… It’s Okiel! His voice slowly starts distorting back to Ema’s.
“I-I don’t understand! W-Why is he resisting now?!” Fiora is puzzled by the thing that wasn’t meant to happen.
“Ya poor unfortunate souls… I was havin’ a lil’ laugh! Your cheap tricks can’t contain me! I’m more powerful than any of you can imagine!” Okiel stands up like everything you went through was for nothing! “After drainin’ their souls, I feel energized! Now, their bodies are mine to use…”
The Elder Priestess and her guards show up from the entranceway. Their movements are all off. It’s like they’ve been zombified. They are truly under Okiel’s influence in a different way than Ema.
“W-We’re surrounded!” Vanessa is in shock. She’s right, Okiel is by the stairs, and the guard zombies by the exit. “Now I can’t miss…”
“It’s absurd the amount of power these lapdogs have…” Okiel takes a good look at his hands then tightens it up into a fist. “I wanted to keep you lot down with my own powers, but oh well. You can’t win ‘em all, can ya? Ugh, I sound like the pig…” He pats Ema’s head.
“No! It’s impossible!” Fiora tries harder to bring Okiel down, he falls, but he stands up tall after a second. “G-Go down!”
“Darlin’, it’s useless.” Okiel cackles victoriously.
“Why…? Why pretend to be hurt…?!” You let your frustration out as you shout.
“Oh, yeah, ‘cause I was waiting those 20 minutes to see who shows up too! To see who came to rock the boat! I wanna see who yer real friends were!” Okiel grins. “To kill ‘em in front of ya, of course! I haaaate yer guts! No matter how selfish you are. You humans hate seeing yer ‘loved ones’ die!”
Okiel gets shot, not once but twice.
“…How rude.” Okiel chuckles as he is unphased. “You’re truly no different from those seeking the throne.”
“Apologies! But I have no intention to die!” Vanessa had enough time to get the sniper rifle ready.
“You’ll be first then.” Okiel is the most incredibly petty being you’ve seen. “Puppets, grab ‘em all. They’ll be Esperanza’s replacements.”
The Zombies start approaching you all… You can’t feel your body… But you need to do something!
