Part 45: How a Fighter Finishes

Chapter 24: How a Fighter Finishes

From this point forward, just about every death is “And then Iblis kills everyone.” Thus, I won’t show the deaths unless they are particularly interesting.

[MEANWHILE, IN ANOTHER DIMENSION…]

En Route to Ad Avis

So this Ad Avis bitch thinks he can mess with me? ME?! I’ll show him! I’LL CRUSH HIS GOD DAMNED SKULL IN! RAAAAGGHHHH!

YOU ASSHOLES THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME? I AM A FIGHTING GOD!

NO DOOR CAN STAND BEFORE ME!

Good job, Master!

RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

*You race through the palace passageways, pausing now and again to evade scurrying guards. The djinni of the Ring, for all of his forgetful nature, seems to have a clear idea of where he’s taking you.*

Through here, Master! Iblis is close, and time is short.

There, Master. Through that door over there is the ritual chamber where Iblis is being summoned. Let’s go!

The people of the city are revolting, and Ad Avis has to choose this time of all times to do some sort of magical ceremony. I am ordered to guard this door when I should be out leading the troops. A pox upon the head of all magicians. You will have to give the orders. Let no one into the palace. If a single person gets past you, I will have your head on a platter.

To hear is to obey, sir.

Well, what are you waiting for? We need to get to that door.

Why didn’t you say so before? *Hop*

Hey you, Khaveen. We’ve got some unfinished business.

So, you have managed to escape. Ad Avis does not know everything, it seems. But this is as far as you’ll get!

Good. I have been waiting for this moment. Let’s see how much of a hero you really are.

The way this combat normally works is that you beat on Khaveen for a while, then he disarms you. In the remake, you can’t even touch him until the “real” combat starts later.

Ha! Now yield, and I just might spare your life.

Screw that, I go down fighting.

A poor choice.

Yoink!

In the original, you can simply type “GET SWORD” and you’ll automatically duck under his swing. In the remake, you specifically have to refuse to yield before he’ll pull his sword back enough to go for it.

You have disarmed him, Master!

Yeah, duh. Now pick it back up.

What?

I came here for a fight, not for some pansy yield-fest. Pick it up.

Hmph, so you think you’re skilled enough for a rematch? Don’t expect me to hold back on you.

Don’t worry.

I expect you to die. Good night, Khaveen.

Now, through the door at the top of the stairs is Iblis. There is some sort of spell on the door, but I don’t know what it is. There is an awful lot of magic around here.

Magic shmagic. There isn’t a door in the world I can’t break!
