Don't think they will let it pass

Ringo writhed in pain until she fell unconscious in Zion's arms. Cyd and Nox were frozen, not only had her comrade got hurt but the woman in front of them seemed to have an ace up her sleeve and she planned to attack them somehow. Karoline glared at them and looked at the girls. Meraki stepped in with a shield to keep him from pouncing on them and Ray went head-on to deal with Karoline.

-Ptff ... you think I did not foresee your performance, get up and stop pretending pain bitch-

-Oh! No one was supposed to go that far, but you did. I want to know how- Karoline rejoined

-Ask your blue doll when you see her in the other world, that only if there is such a thing. By the way, thank your best student for it-

Karoline's expression changed to a grim one. Blue doll, it was the name with which she called Emily contemptuously but the girl took it as a nickname worthy of her. Karoline couldn't believe that her toy had been eliminated and by nothing but her student. The woman in front of her was someone capable of accomplishing such a feat and she was forging something greater to speak that half-truth.

Ray formed a fine, strong needle with his aura giving the indication that he would be her opponent. Then Karoline also formed a sword with her aura and prepared to run towards Ray.

Suppressing the anger that ran through her body, she exhaled and moved quickly out of sight. A loud roar echoed through the enclosure and at that moment they both crossed their swords. Ray held his breath and stepped to the right. He was creating the space and giving the children time to prepare to flee. Once again Karoline hit him but Ray did not bend, turning around he made a cross cut but the woman avoided him.

The clamor of the fight made them excited by the simple idea of ​​taking down their enemy. Karoline ran again and disappeared to appear behind Ray, but he was faster and parried her blow with a horizontal block before the sword could fully reach him.

The only noise was that of the swordsmen clashing their swords. Ray moved as if he had lost his sanity and could constantly feel the shock waves approaching them. Meraki tried to block him as much as he could as they continued to attack each other. A blow was aimed at Ray's shoulder, who fell to the ground but the person who had made the blow was spilling blood from her side and splashing the ground. Ray stood up immediately and continued his assault. He steeled himself and charged at Karoline but she blocked the blow sent at an angle against her neck.

The attack only managed to scrape her neck and blood slowly spurted from her wound on her side. In anger, she drew a light from her mana sword, then Ray heard something rush towards him and bent his body to avoid it but a surprise punch was aimed at his face, pushing him violently towards the wall. A groan of pain was present and his appearance was somewhat miserable.

Karoline approached him and bent her knees to be level with Ray, who she grabbed by his hair to tease him. Ray looked at her and laughing, he just managed to say Bang !. A gun had been detonated in Karoline's chest causing her to fall to her knees in front of Ray. And then ... Karoline started to mutter and laugh like crazy. She was not finished. Ray stood up and switched back to his original form to hear what the woman was trying to say.

-So it was you all the time, you filthy meddler, I thought you were no longer in this world. The vestige of a greater evil and the reason why we cannot cross to any existential plane. You must die ... if you must die at all costs to make us of his power ... hahaha-

-I'll take care of you now. The one who will die is you-

Suddenly Ray frowned, seemed to perceive something unpleasant and went into a trance when Karoline began to speak in an unknown language.

Ha ha I´throdog uh´eog r´lyeh mgah´n´ghft yogor I´deal llll ya

(So ​​the great lord Rulieh will deal with me)

ahf´kind ot nghftdrn dares I´I´ ai ya like cahf

(What kind of monster dares to speak to me like that)

Ray continued the conversation in the unknown language and suddenly the aspect of him changed to that of a blue skin and moss green hair keeping his yellow eyes. The children were stunned because it was the first time they had witnessed such a change in their father, but deep down it seemed familiar. Meraki on his side clearly understood the language and was attentive to the conversation

Uh I´mgvulgtnah, Y´ymg´ngahnah ego. Cahf angers ya

(uh too bad, I hurt your ego. That angers me) - Karoline was still in a vain effort to piss off Ray more

Ymg´ah wrong, Y´´m uh´eor lloigazath geb. ahf´ymg´mgah´ehye yog ot mgshugnah nallll permission

(You're wrong, I'm the only one angry here. Who pulled you out of the hole without permission?)

Ymg´I´gotha ​​yog mgah´n´ghft, mgng Y´don´t mgep I´ h´ai. Ymg´mgep mg r´luh ph´nglui fahf shuggog like h´

(You want to know, but I don't have to tell you. You have no power in this world like him)

That said, Karoline began to convulse and a black jelly-like mass erupted from her mouth. A kind of bulging and tentacular creature began to form and when she took a fixed form she attacked Ray again, but he was calm and grinning. In the next moment someone came out of nowhere, grabbed the blade-shaped tentacle and ripped it off, throwing it to the ground.

don´t ymg´dare ah´bthnk uh´eog r´lyeh. h´´s yar ymg´bug back i´mgshugnah

(don't you dare touch to lord rulieh, it's time you went back to the hole)

The creature began to complain of pain. The person who had done it was a pale, skeletal woman like a ghost, with bright red hair and completely black eyes. She picked up the creature as if it weighed nothing and threw it into some kind of fiery portal. She turned to speak to Ray.

Y´ymg´stell´bsna pardon llll inconvenience and uh´eog. Fahf insect ephainogephaii I´h´agl. Y´crimson uh´eog tharanakor cahf h´ephainafl happen ephaii

(I beg your forgiveness for the inconvenience my lord. This insect will return to its hole. I, the Crimson Queen swear this will not happen again)

Y´ hope nafl ng ymg´ai gnaiigof´n cahf if h´mgepah´drn mgepna´ah´ehye cahf n´ghftdrn, h´yog ephainog lw´nafh´drn. f´ah mgr´luh nilgh´ri ng f´h´ephailllln´gha

(I hope not and and tell your son that if he was responsible, he will not get out alive.They see everything and they will eat him)

The woman shuddered at the comment. But she didn't find it weird coming from Ray, on the contrary, she even found it funny.

Y´h´ephaiah´f´nah ph´nglui lloig ya uh´eog, don´t worry. Y´hope I´mett ephaii llll vulgtmnahor yar. Uh´eog meraki Y´hope ymg´ahthrodog ymg´ vulgtmnahog I´wgah´n sleeper ehye yah´or nanah, receive ya blessing. ymg´mgr´luh soon

(I will bear it in mind my lord, don't worry. I hope to meet again at a better time. Lord Meraki, I hope you grow up to the best of your ability to control the sleeper one day, receive my blessing and... See you soon.)

-Bye- Meraki looked puzzled as the farewell came naturally

The queen withdrew behind the creature in the fiery portal and disappeared.
