Jon Bane and The Blade of Heptaseas

Prologue

"Stop, please stop."

Yumeko, who was already losing hope, burst into tears and cried, "What do you want me to do? Please stop; I'm begging you."

Yumeko is sobbing as she begs Selena to stop.

When Selena heard this, she felt irritated and went in front of Yumeko.

"Look at you, a succubus who has to resort to crying and begging. You're a pathetic piece of crap. You're a disgrace to our clan," Selena snarled, treading on Yumeko's face.

Selena then tossed an object in the air that resembled a plant seed above Jon Bane and company.

After a few seconds, the seed unleashed a swarm of thorny vines on the location where Jon Bane and crew are trapped.

It strikes them in various places of their bodies. They are all bloodied and appeared to be lifeless.

Yumeko is in a state of shock as she watches as all of her friends get trampled by the torrent of prickly vines. A steady gaze with no emotion can be seen on her face; no crying, no smiles, no grins, nothing... just a constant, continual gaze.

Yumeko's eyes turned bright red, and her body began to steam. Her body began to heat up, and Selena felt it. She decided to take a step back from Yumeko.

Yumeko's wings turned completely red, her horns, fangs, and claws grew larger, her eyes took on a gory red tint, and her tail took on a scorpion-like shape.

She also regained her strength. She wasted no time and assaulted Selena right away. She also managed to hit Selena for the first time. It was not a lethal hit but it did cause Selena to be thrown back a few meters.

She kept attacking Selena but Selena didn't back down. They continued fighting as they went back and forth. At this point, it seems like they have equal strength and power. Their battle can go either way.

"So this is her semideus form, but this is not the form that will defeat me; I still have an advantage due to my battle experience," Selena mumbled to herself.

Yumeko and Selena are both in semideus form right now. Yumeko is stronger than her, but she attacks without thinking because she only wanted to hurt Selena. Selena reads her actions so easily because she attacks so recklessly. She was able to hit Selena on occasion, but Selena always had the upper hand since every time Yumeko hit her, she countered with a more powerful attack.

Yumeko's thoughts are currently racing with the phrases, "I need to kill her, I need to kill her."

She can still smell the blood coursing through Jon Bane's veins. The same goes for the others.

She can still heard their hearts beating inside their bodies. Getting her to believe that everyone is still alive. She only needs to kill Selena and then help her friends after. She must act quickly because they are already losing a lot of blood from their wounds.

As the struggle proceeds, Selena maintained her lead. But every time she manages to land an assault and injure Yumeko, Yumeko returns.

"This brat! She's getting stronger and stronger as time goes by!" Selena said before headbutting Yumeko on the chest and dropping her to the ground.

Yumeko, on the other hand, is still able to get up. Selena gathered some of the nearby vines into her hands. It was transformed into a whip.

As Yumeko struggled to stand, she began beating her. Yumeko is taking all of the whip's blows.

With all of the suffering she was experiencing, her pain meter finally filled up. She took a deep breath and released a sonic wave from her mouth. Hitting Selena and rendering her unconscious. The vines that wrapped Jon Bane and others were likewise released.
