FALL OF THE SKELETON KING Location the Demon Dungeon Area 1; Boss Area: The King's Tomb
Akaza continued taking on the Boss, Leoric the Skeleton King on his own. Meanwhile just as the others, stated they'll do. Laharl, Ranma, Kiba, Ren, Issei, and Gyutaro, were dealing with all skeletons in this tomb. Only ever amassing, piles of bones, and exp-drops. That was claimed, unintentionally claimed those exp-drops. Which helped, Issei, Ren, and Kiba greater than others. As they're still the lowest power wise. Even counting Gyutaro. But he went and did several dungeon run, way before the latter guys. But that isn't important at the moment. As Akaza delivers another, brutal right swing, across the jaw. A crack, started to spread across the skull of Leoric. As the Boss roared out, in pure anger. Rising his massive mace, over his crown and swung down at Akaza. Only for Akaza to only smile. Lifting his left arm, taking the brutal strike of the Boss. Causing a loud sound. Noting unnerving. Only the sound of to weaponing, colliding one another. As Akaza's demonic physiology, plus his Aura, acting like the most powerful and sturdy shield. With his right arm, Akaza struck at the chestplate of the Boss. Chuckling, as he announced his technique, " Destructive Death: Disorder!!" As that punch, started a brutal onslaught. A rapid barrage of punches. As large shockwaves, start destroying the Boss in front of him. Literally tearing everything apart. Explosions of great force, blasted across the Boss Area. After the third dozen punches, and shockwaves. Destroy the Skeleton King's armor and struck, straight onto the bones. Blasting away Leoric. Utterly lifeless, as the Boss crashed onto the open tomb, destroying it. When this happened, all the surrounding skeletons, started dropping dead and stop spawning. Laharl smirked, and rested his Vritra Zanbato Fury onto his shoulders. Soon the rest of the guys, calmed down. Lowering their respected weapon, and started making way to victorious Akaza. Who was currently, cracking his neck and knuckles. Ranma let out a laugh. Walking up to Akaza, presenting his fist to Akaza. Who smirked, and fist bumped Ranma. As the first Boss of this Dungeon, has been taken out and they can continued on. They all turned to ruined, remains of the Skeleton King's tomb. With Leoric, the first Boss, laying broken and lifeless on the ground, and pieces of a broken tomb. Floating over the dead Boss' body. A considerable amount of red, purple, green, and white exp-drops. Finally some green exp-drops, for a martial artist like Akaza, his mind being sharper, it's a must. So they went, ahead and absorbed all the dropped exp, from Leoric. Immediately Akaza mind stat-level, jumped. Along with his strength, defense, and vitality. With that, Issei asked, "So where's the waypoint to the next level of this dungeon?" They'd all looked around a bit, and Gyutaro pointed and said "there". Thus everyone turned towards, where he was pointing at. At the otherside of this royal crypt was the floating ring, made of white and whitish blue color, resting in the top of a pathway. Which normally in Diablo III, would be the path to the next area of the game, after beating Leoric. Laharl, found it fitting. As he told the guys, that they should check, what the next level is, so they can finally have some clue of what theme, this dungeon is. They started walking towards the waypoint...
THIS PARTY IS GETTING CRAZY Location the Demon Dungeon Area 2
After the a swift flash of light, the seven devils appeared in another area. Looking around they observed the scenery. Laharl, Ranma, Kiba, and Issei immediately knew where they are. As they were in a considerably large room, and saw the wooden desk, filled with junk. Along with a white colored, pizza box. A pool-table and a classic, dinner jukebox of the side. The ceiling fan, spinning, a set of stairs of the side. A large wooden door, in the front. A small lounging area, next to a bathroom door. Ranma was pumped, but Issei beat him to shouting, "Oh my lord!!! This!!! This is!!! This is Devil May Cry!!!!" Yep this level, from what the devil hunting shop's state, is Dante's Devil May Cry shop. During DMC-3 period. Honestly the best of the devil may cry, serious. And Laharl he was including the banger, that is the latest DMC 5, in that mental statement. From what Laharl is suspecting, this dungeon has a theme of darker elements, but he was still not ready to lable. This makes the second time, a Devil May Cry based dungeon level, has appeared. Recalling that Boss battle with Griffin, in that pirate ship, in that water based dungeon. Laharl, he couldn't help himself, he walked over to the jukebox. Issei, Ranma, and Kiba already, suspecting what Laharl is about to do. While Ren, Akaza, and Gyutaro were curious, "what Devil May Cry is?". Just as Laharl, walked forward. A surge of sand, started bursting out the floor, like geysers of sand. Then demons started to form, from the sand geyser. First a couple of indigo robed, withered reaper figures, with basic scythes. The Hell Pride is the weakest of the seven Hells, and it governs those who committed the sin of pride. Next some couple of non-robed reapers. That are wearing distinctive red jester-like outfit rather than bandages or a cloak. These are the Hell Lust. It governs those who committed the sin of lust. These are some of the "7 Hells", also called which are the basic enemies of Devil May Cry 3. They are based around the Seven Deadly Sins. They are demons world jailors who govern those sent to Hell for their respective sins. These two type of Hells, were starting to manifest in more numbers, surrounding Kiba, Gyutaro, Issei, Ren, Ranma, and Akaza. While Laharl finally made it to the jukebox. Doing and saying something quite iconic, as he lifted his left arm. His gloved hand, in clear view, as he said the line, "This party is getting crazy, let rock!!" With a pressed of the on button, along with some devil magic, so the jukebox, plays without a super punch. As Laharl want the iconic thing, for his on. Immediately music started playing. The battle theme of Devil May Cry 3, "Taste the Blood". As the two hells, continued to get closer, Laharl, Issei, Ranma, and even Kiba, started headbanging a bit. Enjoying the beat. As Gyutaro, Ren, and Akaza started to also get in the rhythm. All seven devils, are ready to get crazy. Immediately Laharl tightened, the grip on Vritra Zanbato Fury. And the nearest Hell Pride, already swinging down it scythe, Laharl slashed. As dark purple flames, and draining force, course through the lesser demon. Cutting across the demon, as he fellowed up with a vertical slash, across the waist. Slaying the Hell Pride. As it disintegrating into sand, Laharl used Blade Rush to blur forward, slashing across another Hell Pride. Taking out another. Then clashing his massive, buster sword type, artificial longitius Sacred Gear. Against a scythes of a Hell Lust's scythe. As Laharl smirked, with eager excitement in his face. Laharl wasn't the only one, enjoying the fight. Kiba was actually, jamming to the heavy metal playing. As he use his demonic sword, a plain one, created by his Sacred Gear. Since these lesser demons, aren't weak to any element, and are easy opponents. So instead, he used his speed and skills. Slashing, spinning, stabbing, and actually kicking Hell Prides and Lust, with a style fitting a DMC character. All that was left is the extreme slow-mo, so he can really show off. Another one of the guys, letting loose is Issei. Bringing out his Booster Gear. He started smashing and busting apart these Hells. As his red gauntlet equipped fist, shun and shouted, "Boost" as punched a Hell Pride with some much force. That he'd unintentionally, recreated the iconic, first scene in Devil May Cry 3. When Dante smacked, the same type of demon. That only the head remained, while the rest of the body was blasted away onto a wall, then disintegrating into sand. Ranma saw this, and he couldn't help, but let out a "Nice." As he unworriedly, and smoothly dodged a franatic, Hell Lust's scythe slash. Then in a sideways spin, delivered a powerful kick to that same Hell Lust. Another one-hit kill. As Ranma blitzed through the iconic, Devil May Cry enemies. With punches, kicks, sweeps, and a couple of ki-claw swipes in the mix. He was killing it. The other fighter of the three. Akaza he wasn't having fun, because of strong enemies. He was having fun, cause they kept on coming, and he destroyed them all. As sand and dust particles, floated and clouded around the pink-haired, tattooed devil. A Hell Pride that tried to sneak attack, the infamous fighting-devil. Former Upper Moon. Akaza having just, cleaved through another enemy, with his heel. As he responded to the sneak attacker, without turning. Delivering a back vertical, hand chop to the Hell Pride. Beheading the attacker. As he did something, that he never done before...he started humming along the Taste the Blood chorus, "The flinch in your eye. Calls you a bluff. Feel free to drown when you have enough. 🎶"
The rest of the guys, caught bits of Akaza's humming. As the other guys, chuckled as they fought. At it seems, that Akaza is becoming a metal-head also. Ren was constantly moving, avoiding all attacks. All the while, his smg-sickles, his StormFlower, flashed around the place, cutting at the vital points of hells. As well as firing off, every time that he dodged a scythe, swung at him. Even if his aura, and durability was more than enough to handle, these attacks. Laharl and Ranma-senpai, have made it imperative that they all, practice dodging, blocking, and parrying. As overreliance of aura, and psychical abilities. Is how many, many, many anime and comic characters, meet their downfall. So Ren, has always been the hit-n-run type of fighter. Even after becoming a devil. Gyutaro, he was a beast in this fight. Slashing, stabbing, piercing, and sending out blood made blades to tear apart the hells. He even, stabbed a Hell Pride with both flesh-kamas into the sides of demon's head, and perform a back rolling throw. Tossing the barely alive, Hell Pride across the room. Smashing through the pool-table, and onto the still playing jukebox... But even with the demon, smashing onto it, and disintegrating into sand, leaving behind some red and yellow exp-drops. The jukebox was completely fine. A little barrier, that Laharl put on it, just in case the fighting, got more wild. Just as Taste the Blood ended, another song of the DMC games came on. It started playing... As Issei who just performed, a brutal DDT on a Hell Lust, shouted, "Divine Hate!!! This is my favorite!!!!" All the devils, they actually became more pumped. As Divine Hate was playing. All over the seven devils, sweep through the Hell Prides and Lust, as red, blue, and yellow exp-drops orb, floated around them in the Devil May Cry shop.
At the end. They all without planning, or conversing. Struck a pose at the center of the shop. All huddled together. With Laharl slightly lifting his Vritra Zanbato Fury, over his right shoulder. His other hand, making a "see ya" gesture. Ren crossed his arms, resting slighting onto Laharl's left side, with his smg-sickles, in clear display. Akaza, was slightly kneeling, and his arms, resting on his right knee. As he is in the front of the guys, his face, excited and eager for more violence. Gyutaro had his back turned, his kama, slightly hanging from his hands. His yellow eye, barely showing, as his head is turned. Kiba rested his hands on his sword. His head looking down, his hair covering his eyes and he stood, next to Gyutaro on the left. Issei had his Sacred Gear, out on front. In clear display. Covering half his face. His other arm, next to his side, balled into a fist. Lastly Ranma arms crossed, smiling with a bit of pride showing through the smile. His left leg, bended not touching the floor, as he balanced perfectly on one leg. As Issei said, what they all...well minus, Ren, Akaza, and Gyutaro, since their still new to DMC...thought, "Sweet." They started laughing, as they put away their weapons, and dropped their poses. Laharl saw the huge amount of exp, and before they collect them. He stretched out, his scarf, wrapping it around the jukebox, storing it away. As he said another iconic line, from the game, "Yeah. I can already tell... This is going to be, one hell of party!!!"
