Maehwa Tree- Tower of god/TOG

²²Hell Joe? more like Hell Roach

Garam had finished telling Bam about the spirit room and how Grand de Jah would test him to give him the thorn fragment.

Bam made his way outside with Hockney and Mata.

"I'm coming with you Bam." Hockney said.

"Huh? You are? But I don't think-

"No. I'm sure I need to go there as well." Hockney replied with resolve.

In the end all three of them ended up going together. Bam received Arlene's pocket from Garam and they set off for The spirit room.

——

Khun and his team had begun the attack on Hell Joe's castle.

With Yuri activating two of the 13 month weapons, Khun's team infiltrating Hell Joe's castle. And Ianna backing them up while telling them their enemies future movements through her lighthouse and pocket.

——

Bam, Hockney and Mata ended up face to face with Rachel.

And as Bam somehow persuaded Grand De Jah to let Rachel take the test as well. Ianna was making a beeline for the spirit room form Hell Joe's castle as she figured Khun and the others would have it under control.

She gave up on her red thryssa that she once controlled, and made a straight line for Bam and Rachel.

She knew Hell Joe would die and the red thryssa would belong to Bam but right now she has to protect Bam. From Rachel. And from the slayers of FUG.

——

When Ianna got there, she was too late, she missed Bam and the others by a hair. They'd had gone through the mirror to get to Hell Joe's castle which infuriated Ianna because now she had to go back to Hell Joe's castle or wait for them with the lunatic Grand De Jah.

"Oh? Another visitor?"

"What? You don't recognise your maker Jayson?" Ianna asked irritatingly.

"That ridiculous nickname.... You- you couldn't be?!"

"What's with your ridiculous tone Jordan. This master wants you to shut up and move so I can see that screen too."

"A-Ah! It's you master!"

"Of course it is! Who else would I be?! I'm the only one who called you Johny?!"

"You've called my name different three times already master... it really is you..."

"You don't have popcorn?"

"This disciple apologises be never expected Master to be here."

"Ugh... still. Move over so I can see my babies on screen."

"Yes master..."

——

Bam was on screen with Yuri acting all crazy form possessing the ghost of the 13 months.

Ianna couldn't recall the name of that lovesick fool although the ghost and her fought once over Zahard really badly on Valentine's Day.

But she watched as Bam made Yuri snap out of the possession and watched as Hwaryun reveal the secret of the soul stirring ladle to the the others which eventually made Grand de lee try to kill them in fury.

'Oh right. That soul stirring ladle... didn't I gift it to Lanney since he sucked at making soup so I gave him my own? It's become a treasure now...? How laughable...'

She watched as Yuri, Garam, Bam, Hockney and Mata led Hell Joe towards a certain irregular she'd been interested in for a while.

'Ah, so he's Urek Mazino huh?'

"For the power of Love!"

'What the hell.'

Ianna continued watching Urek and Bam defeat Hell Joe while eyeing the sight of Grand de Lee yell at Hwaryun.

"What's this about using the Ladle of Soul stirring...? Johann?"

"...oh um... about that master..."

"WELL?!"

When Ianna finally got the answer out of Grand de Jah. She scolded him harshly about using her favourite ladle for such ridiculous purposes!

"Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! Using my precious ladle for some soul stirring?! Are you kidding me! You couldn't have used something more normal?! My ladle really?! I gave that to you kids as a keepsake from me and you turned it into some cheap weapon for soul stirring?! Soul stirring is using your fingers, hands and hearts! Not some porcelain ladle!"

But her attention returned to the screen of a certain white haired regular with beautiful eyes that once belonged to her idiot disciple that was being scolded.

"His eyes. You don't really need your eyes back do you...?"

"Huh? What are you talking about master! Of course I want my eyes back!"

"I'll make you a new pair of you want. But... I think after this, that kid might want to keep those pair of eyes... just a hunch, I'll start carving some eyes. One of you two need it anyway."

As Ianna got a knife and some precious metals, she began using shinsu to make a pair of beautiful eyes.

Her eyes never left the screen that showed the sight of Urek beating Hell Joe with ease.

'Ok. Maybe Urek isn't that bad. At least he's torturing Hell Joe emotionally. Oh the red thryssa... I remember that administrator... he was always a prick wasn't he... but still. He's the administrator of the floor I was raised and born on. How longs it been since I was so sentimental about something other than Zahard, Arie or Arlene?'

Her eyes landed on the injection Urek sneakily stabbed on Hell Joe's arm. Now that brought her immense satisfaction as she took the pair of now clear cut eyes, and starts painting over them, using colours from the light by turning it into real colour with shinsu.

Her eyes once again darted to the screen to see Bam making his move.

'That's my black lamb. I guess your not so little anymore now...' awww. I'm so proud, is this what it's like to be an aunt?'

"Hehe... I'll keep your promise Arlene...Definitely."

Her focus turned to the pair of beautiful red eyes just like hers.

Then she raised her heads to face the screen of victory coming from Bam. Then the screen changed to the sight of Hwaryun and Grand de Sah.

'Destiny huh... I wonder if it's a hilarious thing, if guides say there's only one path of destiny for each person. Because right now. I'm seeing millions of paths to horrible futures... and for the endings that end in happiness. Well, there's only one path for that.'

Ianna took out a black necklace box from her inventory and placed the newly made eyes inside.

De Jah finally noticed that Bam and Urek had defeated Joe.
"SERVES HIM RIGHT HAHA!"

Just then, Ianna sensed two presented near the spirit room.
"OI! Jody! Get moving, we've got visitors!"

"Eh? Master wait up!"
