Devil Bane
God Slaying Blades
*Gate is blocked and a demon appears.*
Sho : [Guess they can wait a bit.]
~Boss : Demon-Speedfish
*After defeating the boss*
Sho : AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Sho : Huh?[The pain's gone?What happened exactly?]
*You gain the DD ability Sonic Run and Sprint Run*
*After returning to the crystal shrine.*
Sho : Good news-
Joanna[different appearance and tone of voice] : YOU'RE LATE MORTAL.
Sho : What the-who died and made you queen,miss "immortal"?
Sousuke : Now,now.Both of you calm down.Love,please forgive him,he is still in training after all.
Sho : ["Love"...ah!!!Then she is-]
EGJoanna : These are just excuses.Just because I'm helping humans,doesn't mean I have to put up with them.I still wonder why someone like you has to put up with them.
Sousuke : Come on.Why "put up with" them?They are like us aft-
EGJoanna : THAT'S INSOLENCE!
Sousuke : Aaahhh...ok love.[-*turns towards Sho*-]So did you find Al?
Sho : I found one of his pages.
Sousuke : That means he's still out there.
Sousuke : And it seems we are lucky.Two more and I'll be able to join the fight!
Sho : Huh?
Sousuke : It's not one his pages,it's one of his blancs.In his blancs,my powers are sealed every time I use extremely strong spells,like the one I used before.Shall we?
Sho : With pleasure.
EGJoanna : I hope you take that girl too.
Sousuke : Don't worry.And thanks for everything.
EGJoanna : [-*Blushes*-]D-d-don't mention it...it was nothing...I'll be going.
Sho : [A tsundere?!?!?!I should have guessed so.]
Sousuke : We are going to the area you found the page.
*Joanna and Sousuke join the party.More tutorials ensue.*
*Gameplay continues.*
*After reaching the first demon area again,some dialogue and a boss fight occurs*
Sho : You never explained to me what I'm fighting.
Sousuke : Nothing much.They are lesser Evil Gods,Outer Gods and Devils.They are like biological weapons to the Evil Gods and the Great Old Ones.
Sho : Still...I've taken the life of many of them.
Sousuke : In that sense,you should feel guilty about all the meat,the vegetables you ate,all the flowers you walked on and many more.These guys aren't even real.
Sho : Sorry...I don't know what I'm saying.
Sousuke : Don't worry.You'll start thinking straight again.It's just from the shock of all that's happened.
Joanna : This place is pretty big.What are we searching for?
Sousuke : Clues.And our first is this page.Since I can't track the mystic readings,we have to do it with the old fashioned way.Can you smell it out?And I mean it literately.
Joanna : I'll try...nothing here.
Sho : What about that?Looks like blood...and from an earthly being.
Sousuke : Survivors?Because I can't think Al bleeds.
Joanna : Why not?
Sousuke : Technically Al is a book.A grimoire.And to top it off,the most powerfull in existence.I don't doubt he can protect himself,yet him bleeding?
Joanna : [What's that sound?]...I believe we have company.
Sho and Sousuke : Huh?
Sousuke : I don't sense any mystic energy nor anything living.Are you-
*Celling explodes and three demons appear*
Sousuke : First time for everything.Joanna get the guy that looks like a humanoid.Sho,take out the other two.
Sho : Wait,I'm inferior to her in terms of power.
Sousuke : Yes.but you can even up with Joanna if you beat them.
Sho : ...Ok.Time to go rough.
Boss : Adamatus and Gunn
*After the fight*
Sho : I'm sooo not doing this again.
Sousuke : You sure?Lie down and try to sleep.
Sho : I don't think we have time for that.
Sousuke : If you can withstand the pain of the merging it's ok.
Sho : What-
*Adamatus' muscles rip themselves of his body and Guun's nervous system starts moving towards Sho.*
Sho : Oh,Sh-
Sho : WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
*You gained the DD abilities Demonic God Muscles[DD] and Devilish Nerves[DD]*
Sho : Aaah...!Hey,I don't feel any pain.At all.
Sousuke : From now on it just keeps getting better for you.Consider yourself a lesser Elder God.Or Evil God.Depends on you.
Sho : ...
Joanna : I found something.Come over here.
Sousuke : Another blanc page.One more and I will be able to figt again.Next stop,Kyoto.
Joanna : Why?
Sousuke : An aquantance of mine lives there.
Sho : But how?It will take days-no.Weeks.
Sousuke : Crystal Shrines are the solution.
Sho : ...right.
Joanna : [I hope we don't run into her again.]May I ask who this aquantance of yours is?
Sousuke : Muramasa.His name is Muramasa Kengo(Kengo Muramasa in the west).
Sho : HE IS AN ELDER GOD?THAT MURAMASA?
Joanna : Um...you know him?
Sho : Kengo Muramasa was a very famous japanese blacksmith during the warring states period and a little bit after that.His most famous swords were said to be cursed and the only way to find that out was to put them in the river along with a leaf and do a test.Should the leaf be sliced and go with the flow,it would be a plain katana(japanese sword).If the leaf should twirl around the blade,no matter what power the river had,the sword was a Muramasa original.Still why go to him?
Sousuke : I have to find my weapons and you have to get yours forged.It will be very difficult to fight enemies in the future with just your bare hands.
Joanna : What about me?
Sousuke : ...I'll think of something.This guy will probably help you too.So then...to Kyoto.
*After reaching the crystal shrine*
Sousuke : This way.
*You pass through a portal*
*After arriving to the crystal shrine of Kyoto*
Sho : The portal-
Sousuke : Don't worry.I will open a new one once I restore my powers.
Sho : ...Ok.Which way now?
Sousuke : It's marked on the map.Let's move.
Joanna : Before that happens,I wish to ask about our enemies.
Sousuke : ?I believe I explained back in the cave.Unless you want something more?
Joanna : I mean,are they going to be the same?
Sousuke : Ohhh.That.Short answer : no.They are going to look like monsters from japanese mythology(bakemono) and deamons from it(oni).They are going to be a little scarier.
*Gameplay continues*
*After arriving at Muramasa's.They enter his bedroom.*
Sousuke : Old man.I'm back.
Joanna : So clean...and tidy.
Sho : For a sick old man he is pretty clean and tidy I guess.
Muramasa : Oooh,wonderfull.I won't be alone in my final hours...[Bishounen images of him start flying around]
*Sousuke starts punching him*
Sousuke : I told you to stop this (censored)x3 you (censored)x6 old (censored)x2 man or else I'll (censored)x4 your (censored)x4 and then stuff it right up your (censored)x2 so that you'll have to (censored) and (censored) from your back.
Muramasa : Ah...I thee.Tho thethe are your friendth.[Translation : Ah...I see.So these are your friends.]
Sho : [Am I really like that when I get angry?]
Joanna : [I guess neither of them are cute...anymore.]
*After this madness is over*
Muramasa : Welcome and pleased to meat you all.I'm Kengo Muramasa.You must have heard from-
Sousuke : It's Sousuke now.
Muramasa : I see.It's cuter that way.Right Sou-chan?
Sho and Sousuke : Who's Sou/Sho -chan,you stupid old man?
Joanna : Excuse them,please.They aren't usually like this.
Muramasa : No,it's ok.Sousuke just doesn't like to be teased.So then(-*looking at Sho*-),you must be Sousuke's human counterpart,right?Do you want me to call you Sou-chan?
Sho : Sho's just fine.[Glare]
Muramasa : Wonderfull.Now...what do you want me for?
Sousuke : For the most part,information and a request.For the least a visit and check upon you old man.And as usual you act like it's your end.
Muramasa : It's not???
Sousuke : How can a god die from some illness?
Sho : Anyway...I'd like to request something mister Muramasa.
Muramasa : Go ahead,my boy.
Sho : Can you make some exclusive weapons for me?
Muramasa : ...[Serious tone,yet sad.]So you'll fight too?
Sho : I have to.
Muramasa : Very well.What weapons?
Sousuke : The same as my weapons.Also I'd like Al's third blanc page and the chest with my weapons.
Muramasa : Ok.Sho-kun,would you kindly come to the smithing room with me please?
Sho : I get the feeling it's gonna hurt.
Muramasa : Not much,if you are asleep.
Sho : ...
Sho : [Guess they can wait a bit.]
