The Excavation Continues (Mod)

[Sayu Nakano]

Because her last trip had been cut short, thanks to the putrid mass of muscle that her previous opponent was, Sayu was trekking through the mines again for the sake of discovering something worthwhile. Her last trip was punctuated only by the spoils of the purification rite she performed on the Shadow. She honestly hoped that, in the event that she found more Shadows, they would at least have a tolerable scent. A weakness to fire would have also been nice, if only to satiate her OCD tendencies with cleaning up Shadows. Cleaning Shadows with darkness was always a rather redundant act, she believed. If they were Shadows, wouldn't darkness just assist them?

It was a conundrum she found herself contemplating every now and then. That is, when she had nothing to verbalize through her phone.

[Sayu Nakano]

Fortunately, the girl's opponents that trip were more tolerable in terms of their scents. They looked stupid, though. Most Shadows did, but a muscular mage should not have existed. Yet Ultimate Muscle McMagic was staring at her, alongside his partner, Sourface McMagic. They went together well, the girl figured, but she had absolute zero care or mercy for things that threatened her fans. Or stood in her way. The two were equal offenses, for the most part. That was why the girl focused and brought her card into existence, jabbing through it with the barrel of her paintball gun. The card shattered, and the fragments reshaped to craft Tamamo-no-Mae.

”Burn them. Maragion. Over and over again, unless they nullify it!” The girl's order was mouthed and typed in quickly. It was simple and to the point. The fact that the girl's emotions were being emulated by a phone, and that her mouthing was perfectly in sync with the phone's utterances were the truly complex things. Following the girl's command, the kitsune let a wave of fire flow forward and bathe the Shadows. Ultimate Muscle was having issues. Probably weak to fire, the DJ figured. The partner was taking damage as well, but nothing like Ultimate Muscle. Oh well. Then they both attacked. A combined barrage of lightning and needles fired at the girl, but the kitsune protected her with her fluffy tails. That was something else that could not be forgiven. While she had not taken a direct blow, the girl was still suffering from the pounding sensations in her head. Her Persona only protected her body from direct damage. It didn't stop the phantom pain or the agitation- the anger and hate- that welled up from within the girl.

Not having a new order, the kitsune let off another wave of fire, which burned Ultimate Muscle down, removing him from that plane of existence. Sourface McDougal, because it was now a widow, shot forward in an attack to slash at the girl. She side-stepped the attack and raised her gun while whirling. Pak-pak-pak! Three balls were fired at the mage's side. The first exploded on contact, causing ice to form. The second burst, making it spread further. The third's load splattered, effectively freezing a chunk of the Shadow's side. The girl just stepped away. She wasn't going to get her clothes or her shoes dirty by touching a Shadow. Instead, she allowed Tamamo to finish the battle with a third Maragion, which burned away the second enemy.

Purification Complete.

Nothing else appeared to bother her. Giving the Shadows some time to drag their filthy forms from whatever cesspool they originated from, Sayu shook her head slowly and sighed. Eventually, she dismissed Tamamo-no-Mae. There was no need to remain at that specific location. She really didn't like the mines. There had to be another suitable location to purge the enemy at. Perhaps a little more exploration was in order? Her mental quota could be pushed back if she were applying herself towards her ends of Shadow elimination. With a silent huff, the young DJ decided to head back. She would indeed carry out her purification later. It would simply be at a much cleaner place.
