>>12681064After firing all of your ammo, you drop the weapon, fall to your knees, and breath harshly. This is all too much for a woman who, just three days ago, was comfortably watching Sesame Street at home snuggled up in a blanket with semi-burnt popcorn in her lap.
Now you're a demon slayer. Time really flies, doesn't it?
"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" the demon screams, spiciness is not his go-to flavor, he would much rather have sour crap me shot into him. The power of their flavor is so much, he begin to spew fire from his mouth. The fires begin to eat away at his skin, as everyone knows, bugs hate that kind of stuff.
Unknown juices begin secreting from him, and he falls to the ground, seemingly dead. You wipe the sweat from your forehead, and consume a pear from your inventory. You go to free your acquaintances.
They have rather mixed comments.
"FINALLY, you think you could have sped up the slaying process, mayor!"
"Hah...hah....blood....ALL I TASTE IS BLOOD!"
While they recuperate, you tiptoe over to Xerxes in order to double-check his status.
It's the biggest mistake you've ever made yet.
With a majority of his face burnt off, the struggling Xerxes gets up and smacks you across the room. He gets up, and clings one of his arms to the wall to help support himself. It, too, is also a major screw-up.
"Awwh, fuck! That wasn't supposed to happen!"
His arms drag down the wall, and rip a giant vortex into the wall, a vortex which temporarily creates a link between two planes. This one....and the one you normally came from.
Don't ask, don't question it, you won't be able to answer. But somehow, you managed to muster enough courage to carry yourself over to the wall.
Home is merely steps away.
A) Retreat to the mortal plane! Back to the REAL world! BACK TO REALITY.
B) N-No, you actually like this place, stay, stay in purgatory!
