After a few hours of being disoriented on the streets of Aquadias Ariya managed to get up and immediately went in the direction the other two did.
Her mind was full of anger and confusion on how she was still alive after feeling herself drowned. As for her anger, she wanted to kill Rana for how he was currently treating Rui.
She stumbled her way to a large church like building before pulling out a scroll.
"I need to learn something to replace this scroll." Ariya mumbled under her breathe with a sigh.
she opened the scroll and began the incantation.
"Succubi Sealing Scroll, Unleash!" Ariya yelled while her wings grew and a tail began to form from her back, this time her features were much larger than when she used this form in the past.
She placed her hand on the door and attempted to push it open, but to no avail it was locked.
She looked around before taking an offensive stance and kicking the door right were the lock was, her advanced form added a fair amount of strength allowing her to kick the door clean open. The door swung open and hit the wall knocking something off of a table in the process.
"Shit-" Ariya stepped in and immediately felt off, her body felt abnormally warm almost as if she was burning.
she walked in quickly but cautiously making sure not to knock anything else or alert anyone who may be in the building. The building was big, long hallways, many rooms, and very few working lights, it was definitely abandoned and definitely use to be used as a church. Ariya kept walking down the hallway until she notice water on a the floor coming from a large door.
As her foot pressed into the after she fell through the ground as if it was a portal.
"Ow-" She hit the floor on her back, the fall was so sudden she couldn't catch herself using her wings.
Her wings shrunk and eventually so did her tail and horns, she pushed through bt he pain and got up before looking around bt he room, this room was bright and had water dripping from the ceiling.
Drip... Drip.. Thud...
The third drop she could hear was more of a thud, it echoed through the room before a large water Elemental roared.
The water on the floor grew to roughly two times the height of ariya and looked oddly human.
Ariya pulled her sword out and quickly moved towards the Elemental, she delivered a quick and precise slash across it's chest where she expected it's core to be.
The Elemental was unfazed by the slash and went to slap Ariya away a with it's hand, it condensed the water and swung at her knocking her away. She flew across the room before hitting the wall and spitting up a little blood.
After a second to catch her breath she wiped the blood off her chin and smeared it on the tip of her blade, she stood up fully and held her sword out in front of her.
"Succubi Technique, Blood Covered Slash-" she spoke while her sword went blood red.
She ran at the water elemental and began to swing her blood red sword at it, the sword felt heavier than usual making Ariya's control over the sword weaker than normal.
The elemental noticed the incoming slash and proceeded to use it giant water hand to counter and knock her back a few steps. Ariya managed to plant her feet and keep her sword in her hand. she stood up straight and gripped her sword hilt so tight her knuckles went white.
"Succubi technique, swirling blood!" Ariya yelled out while taking her sword and slicing her wrist open, she winced from the pain slightly before dark crimson blood started to bubble from the wound and drip down her arm. Her horns grew even more started to curl back like a goats, her wing and tail grew as well giving her a much more demonic appearance compared to normal.
Her blood dripped onto the ground and quickly made a large puddle around her. she slowly lifted her head up her eyes blood shot and her teeth sharpening Infront of the water elementals eyes.
"I know your watching through this elementals eyes Rana..." She said while turning around and walking to a large metal door.
" I will find you and I will be the last thing you see... " She said in a mellow tone as her blood on the floor began to glow to a bright pink. The blood began to float in the air as if it was sentient, the drops hardened and began to slowly move in a vortex around the elemental.
The elemental moved froward try once again to attack Ariya its arm pressurizing water ready to kill her on the spot.
"Die." As the words left Ariya's mouth the blood crystals sped up slicing Both the Elemental's core and Ariya herself, after spinning around the room, the crystals blew up instantly vaporizing the core and leaving the room with crimson blood splatter all around.
Ariya glanced at her arms and legs that were now also covered in scratches and her own blood, her shirt damaged enough to show older scars she had around her body, as well as showing the now bloodstained bandages that covered and kept her breasts in place. she proceeded too walk towards the door and pressed her ear against it to hear through it, the thick metal made it difficult. After listening for a few minutes she could make out a faint voice along with walking, heavy boots taping on the floor making an ominous echo. after a few more minutes a loud scream could be heard, A young boy's voice.
"RANA YOU BASTARD!" Ariya yelled out as she bashed her head hand against the door in attempt to break it.
*Inside the room*
Rui was laying on the floor shackles with broken chains around his ankles, his arms adorned with dark and blue spots. his clothes were ripped and dirty, what used to be a clean cloak was now a destroyed glorified rag. Rui looked up at rana with his bloodshot blue eyes and tried to form form a sentence, as soon as a noise left his mouth a swift kick from Rana to his stomach was delivered causing Rui to spit up blood.
"It will all be over soon young lord..." Rana said while kneeling next to young boy and placing his hand on the others shoulder.
