Part 29

Update 28: HUGENESS and Mirages.

Since the Kalpa business did not happen, it is time to advance.





Uh, yeah, whatever you say, creepy ghost dude.



He is clearly wrong, most doors when opened have this message.





Ah... Mirage?
Disembodied voices! THIS PLACE IS HAUNTED AAAH
Oh wait, ghosts. Nevermind.



They require assistance, but they are manikins, so they get nothing.

Then, by going to the last part of the first floor...




I wholeheartedly approve of those actions.






Damn. And the second floor is blocked by debris. That is bad.





And they are pathetically easy with the current party.


See? The second floor is blocked with crap. Back to the first floor.











What, that was it? No more torturing? Just a single session?
Those Manikins are getting it easy. That's reprehensible. Time to teach that asshat a lesson.






aND SO, the battle starts.
And ends as quick as it started.








*gasp* It IS a Mantra Prison. INCREDIBLE.


I did not know that manikins bled. That makes it better.



YES.



Tough luck.



That pleases me.

Notice that in the Mirage, things are backwards. The floor is the ceiling. THAT makes this dungeon annoying.





Hah.




No, this is not the Mizuchi that the Naga was referring to. Shame, it would make things much easier.
Eventually one was recruited, since they can learn Fog Breath, I think.


HOLES. HOLES. MANY HOLES.






HAHAH! That happens to you for trying to mimic Edmond Dantes.





Why, oh why does one need to help this asshats?
Because otherwise there is no progress. TIME FOR AN ANNOYING FETCH QUEST.





Bah.





Very incomplete because one needs to open several gates. And it is annoying.





Like that.
And what's that in the background? Why, it is Heeho!



Nah, just boring to navigate.



Not YET. But you will, oh yes, you will.


Convenient save spots. I like them.




Damnit, Heeho, don't be useless. I don't like useless demons  He is not useless at all and he kicks ass 




So, the collector Manikin is in the second floor. Interesting. Now, it's just a question of finding him in the Mirage.



He is weird.




Great. Everyone wants Insert to mimic James Sunderland.





He mentions all the floors. And then:




Goddamnit.




Another 100 macca and he REPEATS ALL THE FLOORS SEVERAL TIMES. AGAIN.
And then, after trying to remember five more times...

Thank you, you are useless. You'll be punished once this thing is over. Have a good day.




No shit.












YESSS. This took far longer than it should have.


No deal.






Well, it was powerful. I doubt it was as powerful as the FORK. If you have come for the FORK, you'll be sorely dissapointed. And then beating the crap out of the dude with his own arm. Oh wait, no, wrong game.
 Go and play Bioforge now. 









Of course, that was the whole point. This hole permits Insert to advance and remove more barriers. That was the whole point.






Hahahaha you are useless, Manikin.




Music for my ears.



Next time: Out of the mirage.
