The man in front of her, the one that is with Tokaya. He's ripping off her clothes and choke her down. He too has stripped his own clothes. Seeing all of that, Tenko clenched her fist and gritting her teeth as she saw the vision of them burning to her sight.

Her breath becomes heavier and harder as the seconds pa.s.s by.

The man behind her holds her head down, removing Tokaya's vision from her sight. He whispers, "Hehehe, let's have some fun, honey."

Tenko's eyes closed shut, she knows that there is nothing she can do, but to wait for her end to come. That wait ended… when a sudden loud scream was heard, "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Her eyes quickly went opened, it was Chika's voice.

"BUBLEGUM!!"

Tenko's eyes quickly widened to its edges as black veins are slowly forming inside them. s.h.i.+fting her eyes back to Tokaya, she saw that disgusting man touching her.

"Hehehe, you're so beautiful," said the man caressing Tokaya's cheek. "No, no! NOOOOO!!! DON'T TOUCH MEEEEEEE!!" Tokaya is struggling from his grasp.

"Heh, don't you know… it's futile, sweetie."

She flapped on the ashes of the ground, "NOOOOOOOO. HEEEEEEELP MEEEE!!" with eyes flooding with tears, she called out her friend's name, mumbling as her throat dried, "Tenko…"

As the veins inside blackened, her eyes closed shut as tears flowing out from them.

"…"

The man behind Tenko burst out to laughter, "Bwahahaha, your friend here is— mmphf." Something… grabbed the man's face… it was her, it was Tenko.

*Bwoooosh*

"MMmmpfhhfggfhfhh"

Dark flames quickly formed on her palm, burning the man's face aflame. Tenko's eyes have turned completely black and her mouth edged all the way to her jaw, almost reaching her ears, and it cracks.

Tenko's face has turned to that of a terrifying monster with the eyes so dark, you can stare at it just like you stared at the abyss. Hus.h.i.+ng in echoing voice, "GRAAAAAAAHHNNN DIIIIIIIIR JOOOOORE!"

"MMmmMPPFHHH" them man struggled to get Tenko's off of him. He punched it, ripping her clothes apart. Revealing Tenko's tattoos glowing in white and grey lights. She gripped the man's face so tight, that he couldn't even breathe as his face burning in cloaked dark flame.

And then.

*GRASH*

Tenko crushed it, leaving the flame on his face as his body dropped to the ground.

One of the bandits noticed it as she s.h.i.+fted her eyes to them. She screamed, alerting the others. "Heeeey, look over there!!"

Tokaya's bandit s.h.i.+fted his eyes, and in an instant, he trembled in fear by the sight of it. "HURRY UP, KILL HER!!"

*TAKK*

His eyes widened once more as he felt a searing pain coming up from his chest, and as he s.h.i.+fted his eyes down… she saw the helpless little girl that he was about to be violated, is now cloaked in silver-black flame. Her hand… has pierced his chest.

*KRASH*

Tokaya quickly pulled it out and formed a palm in front of his face, she mumbled with a horrifying echoing voice, "Firebolt."

*BLAKSH*

"…"

*Thud*

His body fell to the side as the black flame burns the wall behind him. Kicking his body, she propelled herself away from him.

The woman noticed it. She saw what the girl has done to him. She just murdered her accomplice right in front of her eyes. Doing it in such an instant, quickly making her body tremble. Stuttering as she commanded, "K-K-KILL, KILL THEEEEEEEM!"

The men quickly move, but… something happened.

Tenko is lifting her body up, feeling so sluggish and heavy… it's as if a ton of rocks keeps piling behind on her back. Underneath her, a black pool of water emerged. Multiple shadowy hands appeared trying to take her down, but they let her go once they have a hold of the man's body behind her.

Tokaya turned around and dashes toward Chika and Anko, piercing the eyes of the bandits behind them with immense killing intent.

Knowing that she is coming at them, they quickly guard themselves up. Unsheathing their weapon, one formed a stance and shouted, "AEGIS s.h.i.+ELD!!"

Invisible barrier appeared in front of them. The other one drew her bow, taking the arrow and muttered, "Quick Shot: Rapid-fire!" flaming arrows were shot directly to Tokaya's direction.

*Fwoosh *Fwoosh *Fwoosh

With a speed of lightning, the woman fires her arrow rapidly like a submachine gun. As Tokaya runs towards them at extremely high speed, she raised her hand, forming a palm beside her head, mumbling, "Aegis s.h.i.+eld."

In an instant, a dark invisible barrier was formed in front of her. Absorbing the flaming arrows inside the barrier, making it expand the barrier even greater and thicker.

She opened her hands wide, and muttered, "Firebolt."

Silver black flames cloaked her arms and quickly went to her hands. She slapped them together and then jumped. She sends down the abyss right to them.

*Bwooomph *Bwooomph

The aegis s.h.i.+eld they cast, without knowing why, they disappeared, or maybe… All these things they asked, they couldn't answer it… because they… are already dead.

Cloaked in the silver black flame, Tokaya took the frog from the ground and grabbed both Chika and Anko, carrying them inside the tunnel on the right pathway. Leaving Tenko behind.

However, it looks like, it was a wise choice to leave her alone there.

*Crack *Crack

"Hroooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Tenko's face melted into nothingness, like a straight stone without eyes, mouth, or anything. It is unknown how she is able to still made a sound. Her clothes and armor have melted, all of her skin turned black like charcoal, she kept nothing but her hair and the Hashuna's necklace closely on her neck. The tattoos on her hands are glowing bright and it expanded all the way to her shoulders, her neck slowly created a collar and it's chained to the shadow beneath her.

Only several bandits left, and almost all of them are fleeing. Climbing up from where they came from, they are in absolute terror. Those who stay are trembling in fear, not knowing what to do.

"K-KILL HER!!" yelled the woman.

All of her subordinates went to charge toward Tenko, "HAAAAHHH!!"

Casting multiple skills, "Flow Acceleration! Enhanced Sight! Sword Temper!"

Hus.h.i.+ng, Tenko took a step. As she walked, the flood of dark water, the dark hands keep being created underneath and extending to the side. If there is enough time, they might completely cover the entire area in their grasp.

The men who were charging towards her… when they saw her face, they quickly stopped. Trembling in fear. But one of them mustered up the courage and continue his charge, "HAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!"

But in an instant.

*BRAKSH*

When he got close to Tenko, a giant stone hand appeared underneath him, and it crushed his body completely. The other three s.h.i.+vers as tears were formed in their eyes when they saw their friend… friend's… fell from the Stone Hand's grip.

In an instant… all their hairs pent up as Tenko suddenly shows up in front of them.

*Bwooosh *Baks *Bam *Boom

The woman who's seeing everything unwrap fell into a greater terror as she saw her subordinates are being torn apart by a single young girl.

She quickly turned around and tried to climb up the ground, but… she saw the body of her subordinates' sliding down with a trail of themselves following them as they go down.

Her eyes s.h.i.+fted high and saw multiple small golems without feet floating, waiting for them up there. No light is around for her to see their details, but one thing that she can see… is the blinding light of the moon coming from the golems' eyes.

The tears flowing out from her, and as quickly as it fell, they turned to an even greater amount.

*Tak*

Her eyes fully opened as she felt something grabbing her head, she's stutteringly s.h.i.+fted her eyes and saw her… the girl without a face.

The girl's head kept getting closer and closer to her face and eventually sticking it completely to her, she hugged her within her embrace and then fell down to the ground.

The woman's eyes started getting blurry as she saw nothing but the black stone in her sight, it's like she's being pinned down by a real bulk of stones. And when she senses multiple hands crawling up all over her body, pulling her down with them… her eyes… eventually went shut.
