“But Azu…” The king stops in his words halting in a way that catches Azulle by surprise. It's not like he stopped in shock or in sadness. No, he stopped as if time itself had halted and only Azulle was placed outside of that time. But a quick glance about the room only confirmed this as the other two weren’t moving…all except for the slime form of Noir and Francois and one other, whose presence became known with a series of claps they made as they walked into the room. For as the light came upon him the well dress man wearing fancy goggles and his long straight black hair stirred something deep in Azulle’s memory. The feeling of rage for the one man who was behind all of this has chosen now to appear and taunt her.
“Well done, I couldn’t have directed him better if I had chosen his fate. Oh, wait I did.”
“Isea!” Azulle growls out.
“Oh, my dear Mr. Eito how cute you look in this little game of ours. I must say red really is your color!” Without another word or even shouting out the commands of her attack Azulle uses her Devil’s Rush to grab to thrust across the room and grab ahold of the fancy garb the god was wearing, but a quick thrust of his arm, in turn, threw Azulle crashing into the wall. “Now, Now, I told you our fight is only after you defeat the Demon Lord, did I not. Oh, but how can a little maid girl possibly have a chance at such a lofty goal. Why you can’t even take on the weakest of the Demon Lord’s generals I have here in the castle. I mean you do have your tablet… Oh my but then I guess it’s a waste since a thug like you still wants to play by your old world’s ways over my worlds. Learn your place Eito. Consider yourself lucky, most scum-like you simply get reborn as slime-like your friends. You spent all your lives preying on the weak so now it's time you have a taste of your own medicine.”
Azulle struggles to her feet. “So, you came here just to taunt me?”
“No, I came here to see if you're broken yet. All you have to do is admit defeat and I will let you be free to live your long and miserable life cleaning the filth of those better than you. All you have to do is give up and admit I was right.”
“Don’t you fucking dare give in to this bitchy little shit, Eito-slut!” Shouts Francios.
“Oh, look you have a cheering squad, oh well I guess you are happy to be reunited in this world as well I guess.” Suddenly Noir leaps from the shadow and goes to attack Isea but Azulle does another Devil’s rush to block the attack from destroying the slime who was once the man Eito did wrong too, once again Azulle goes flying into a wall this time she is breathing heavy and fails to be able to even get back up. “Holding on to a fraction of your past I see. Well, that is unfortunate. Still, I will allow it if you give up now.”
“Suck my dick Isea! I will never give up to you!” Azulle coughs up blood as she smiles her devilish grin deifying the god’s request.
“Such language, I really should have them beat you into being more ladylike. But oh well have it your way. I do hope that your heavenly ally though will show up soon because from where I stand, I seriously doubt you will even make it a week further without any help to guide you to destiny.”
“Destiny is for stories and fools. I will beat you Isea count on it!” The god smiles and snaps himself away as the frozen time returns and the other looks puzzled at why Azulle is suddenly hurt badly.
“Azu, what happened!” Shouts the king. “You were right before me but now…”
Vindall, moves in to look over Azulle as the slimes move to comfort her.
“The girl looks to have broken several bones, it is like she took on a fight with a small group and barely survived. But without the proper treatment, I don’t think she will.”
“Jenni, Grell, quickly take my daughter to the tower for treatment! I am ending her sentence here…” Azulle reaches out her arm to Vindall.
“Teach me.”
“What?” The room besides Vindall states.
“Teach me to be strong like you.”
“Fine kid. But only after you are on your feet got it!”
Grell quickly scoops up Azulle in his arms and Jenni grabs the slimes as they rush to take her back to her mother in the tower. While Azulle smiles fading into unconsciousness.
