81 Fell Deeds Awake

"How could this be?!"

Jean stared disbelievingly into the corpses of her team near the hospital ground. She had a hunch of what may have happened after they were ambushed by the cult, but still refused to accept reality within her mind.

"This one is still breathing!" Leo shouted to the absent-minded female agent; there was a young man covered in blood laying by the wall.

Jean rushed over with first aid.

"You are that rookie! How are you feeling?!" She recognized the greenhorn that she dragged out of the office.

"I... I..."

Before the young man had a chance to even speak a sentence, blood flowed out from his mouth as he lost his last breath and his arm fell lifelessly back to the ground.

"Knife wound from the back... aimed straight at the organs... blood diluted with poison... and no signs of struggle. Dammit, they must have been taken by surprise while evacuating the civilians." The rest of the team died in similar manner.

"What will you do now?" After waiting for the female agent to re-collect her composure, Leo solemnly asked.

"We will quickly look for survivors around the hospital and then wait for reinforcement."

The boy silently nodded his head. Even though there was an urge to rush in and check up on Komi, his rationality made the safer judgment. The two began to carefully wander the perimeter, encountering several stray Yoma along the way, but met no other survivors. The cults seemed to have evacuated as well.

However, before they decided to leave the area and wait for Anna, Leo felt another batch of emotions and desperations surging into him. This time, there was a foul presence of foreign evil intruding through the link; it temporarily overwhelmed his mind as he held his head in discomfort.

The second he recovered from the barrage of messages, there was only anxiousness on his face.

"I am sorry, Jean, but there is no time. Komi is in grave danger!"

Without a moment of pause, the boy immediately rushed into the empty hospital.

"Wait! I am coming with you!"

Inside the building, there were several corpses of unfortunate souls that did not evacuate in time; but other than that, most of the spiritual entities had already left in search for more prey. Yet, after agitatedly roaming the halls for a few minutes, the boy finally stopped, realizing he had no way of accessing the hidden realm where the big girl resided.

"The cult used the whole hospital as the foundation for a runic spell to access the shadow dimension; the entrance must be hidden behind the runes within this building. Channel your Anima and look for those patterns."

Jean timely advised; it was all she could offer as she was not familiar with runic spells. But that was enough to remind the boy of his recent training. Shaking off the memories of Yuria's and Filia's alluring bodies from his head, he followed through the techniques of deciphering runes and applied his knowledge for proper usage for the first time.

Amusingly, in the next moment, Leo soon found himself alone inside a gray and corroded world. Due to his inexperience; the female agent was left dumbfounded outside after he disappeared through a random door. Regardless, the boy was quick to be on the move as he rushed into the dark and strangely familiar hallway.

------------------------------

Within the vessel chamber, where a divine being was hosted, a centipede formed of skeletons and skulls was orbiting around a spire of Anima with its gigantic body. The creature was Astel, a lowly guard for a particular archdemon of the abyss. It was summoned by sacrificing the lives of other cult members as the last resort.

To the boss's surprise, there was a strange turn of events after he activated his trap card. Nevertheless, he was still immobile and could only watch things unfold without his control.

Combined with the pressure from the ancient artifact and the weakness found in Komi's emotional breakdown, the arch demon that once failed to obtain its sacrifice, returned to possess the girl in another attempt. Her link with the abyss had never been severed; it was merely suppressed by her unnatural talent, until now.

Ironically, her outburst of Anima that weakened the integrity between dimensions also contributed to this unexpected scenario.

Untold number of hours later, as the light faded from the spire, the glorious and extremely endowed figure of a supreme goddess was revealed. Runes of power were emanating from her translucent skins, pulsating through her inhuman sized body. She slowly opened her eyes and gazed enviously onto her own figure.

"What a marvelous vessel, t'is brimming with power; strong enough to host the whole of my soul. An exotic find within the mortal realm indeed."

But then, she held her head in pain from a sudden headache.

"Back to slumber, girl! Thy body is in my possession."

Suppressing the defiance, she looked to the man holding the artifact, a smirk appeared on her face.

"Come here."

With a pull of her finger, the man flew across the room, as if pulled by an invisible string, and ended up within the grasp of her hand. He frantically tried to activate the cross once more, but the artifact was shattered into pieces from exhausting its durability.

"Astel! Get me away from her!" The boss ordered his Pokémon, but the creature remained docile behind the giantess.

"Why thou try to command what is not thine?" The unknown entity questioned the foolishness of his futile action.

"You! You can't be...!" The boss realized what kind of existence had been summoned and widened his eyes.

"Thou bore'st me." Snapping his neck, she tossed his corpse towards the back. "I have a more interesting visitor."

With curious glitters in her eyes, the giantess looked towards a certain boy that just entered the chamber.

"Who are you? What have you done to her?" Leo immediately recognized that the goddess was not the big girl he knew.

After a minute of pondering, and without answering the question, the unknown entity playfully smiled and snapped her fingers. And by its master's order, the skeleton centipede dived furiously towards the boy. From the crack of the skull on its head, the creature seemed to have an unsettled grudge.

Leo managed to swiftly dodge the initial head on charge with a leap, causing the skull head to drill into the wall behind him. However, the creature was rather stubborn; it quickly got back up and chased after him again with relentless vigor.

"That's a tough nut to crack." He assessed the shining skull before booking it at full speed.

The wild goose chase went on for several minutes, the giantess even yawned in between the bouts. And finally, without enough room to maneuver within this limited space, the boy accidentally ate the charge head on. But amusingly, from the crater of the concrete wall, Leo was completely fine without a single bruise aside from his tattered clothes.

The creature, however, had another large crack imprinted on its skull; white flames of purifying fire were spreading on its body and burning through its fleshless bones. Astel screeched in abysmal pain and tumbled with inhuman shrieks. Its master frowned at her pet's unsightly display.

Seeing its prey was unharmed, the creature flew into rage; it began to channel a ball of energy from the fangs of his head. Yet, before it could fire the shot, the big girl suddenly sprung above the creature and pulverized its skull with a single smashing kick.

The action from the giantess was involuntary. Yet, without minding the murder of her own pet, she was more concerned about the influence from a certain indomitable will.

"Komi!? Was that you?" Leo felt the big girl's presence during that moment.

There persisted a strong lingering affection this body had towards the boy; whenever she made any attempt of using her power to do him harm, a surprisingly strong resistance was met. The unknown entity did not expect that she would lose control of her stolen body, even for a brief second.

Now, the goddess was done playing around.

While the boy was still confused by her action, she closed onto him with an impossible speed, lifted him by the neck and planted him into the wall. But unfazed of her intimidation, Leo stared right back at her eyes.

Yet at the same time, her voluptuous assets were pasting above his body, and the sweet womanly scent from her breath was stimulating his nostril, inciting a certain arousal from his crotch. His expression quickly turned from resoluteness to awkwardness.

"Oh...? Does this vessel tickle thy fancy? But thou do look tasty for strange reasons."

Feeling the bulge in between her chests, the giantess savagely ripped through his pants, revealing the erecting pillar in vulgarness of plenty.

"Ahem*... Ahem* … uh.. you know, it's just simple human physiology. Do they not not teach you this wherever you came from?"

The goddess ignored his sarcasm and continued to inspect the great beast.

"What is this? A seal? Let the monarch see what thou art hiding."

"Wait! No!" Leo knew that this woman would never understand how much work he had to *put in* to get his seal properly in place.

The unsuspecting and overly confident soul proceeded to undo the very seal that contains the unimaginable power condensed within. The moment it was released, a dominating aura of Anima ruthlessly spread from the boy, engulfing the dimension and propagating into the town, which attracted the mindless monsters terrorizing the streets back to the hospital.

Suddenly, his body grew and his muscles explosively bulged, his height was quickly towering the giantess as he naturally outgrown from her grasp. With her head only reaching the chest, the boy's equally gifted pillar was laying its heavy weight on her breasts and pulsating its radiating power right beneath her frozen face.

It was at that moment, the unknown entity realized that she just released something even more terrifying than the abyss itself.

"Eh?!?!"
