Luckily for them, and unluckily for the Shadow, the Eerie Sound also harmlessly passed through both Karma and Sio. "Well, if that thing is immune to light, there's a higher chance for it to weak against darkness, and vice versa," he said, looking at the already-weakened enemy.

"Let's defeat it," Sio suggested before she launched another Zio towards it. Karma also followed, flinging a Mudo towards the downed enemy.

"I meant howddya know it's weak to light and not physical." Mayu deadpanned, quite annoyed all of a sudden. Even an idiot could make that association.

Before she could strike, the Zio was sent towards the Shadow, surely finishing off... Or not, as it shakily went back to its hovering position. Why didn't it die right away?

That thought didn't last long, however, as the Mudo was enough to kill it dead. The frame, as well as the corpse, melted into black goo, soaking the floor beneath where it had once been.

"Well... That kinda sucked." Mayu mumbled. Being in the wrong end of a reflecting element felt horrible, and her arm was still tingling. "Shall we look for more?"

Surely, there were more enemies nearby, probably attracted to the commotion by the entrance.

Karma answered to Mayu's question with a shrug, which could be translated as 'how the fuck should I know?'. Seeing the Shadow was vanquished, Sio was prepared to find another Shadow to kill. Like Karma, she also wanted to grow stronger so she could contribute more to the community.

"Let's go,"
Karma said, nodding as he rested his spade across his shoulder. He looked at his surrounding to see if there's anything that might show up to attack them. Well, he's already prepared for it, so he might say 'bring it on' to anything that wanted to attack them.

"..." Mayu's right eyebrow ever so lightly twitched with the shrug response. He had no reason to assume the Shadow reflected light, specifically? And formulated a plan out of a completely lucky guess?

'...What the fuck do people teach these kids at school...'

Does it matter? He had the courage to stand up for his guess, and--

'--Just shut the fuck up.'


"Alright." She decided to lead the party further into the Ruins, branching a bit off the entrance. If they were lucky enough, they'd run into a good challenge.

And sure enough, a challenge appeared in the form of a pudgy, short old man with clownish appearance. As it showed up, it grinned as it leveled its cane that somehow doubled as a shotgun.

"And that's why I hate clowns," Karma deadpanned.

And so, the Bouffon shot at Mayu, firing a Single Shot.

"Creepy clown. Of course. Dunno why I didn't see that coming." Mayu deadpanned as she observed the new Shadow. Man, this place was really creepy.

Mayu gripped the pipe a bit more tightly, and was about to rush the Shadow and try to kill it in the way she knows best, but hesitated. Last time she attempted such a thing, her arm kind of got pummeled by a simple reflect.

Master, it's a different Shadow. I'm certain it has different weaknesses and strengths, no?

'Yeah well, not sure if I wanna risk myself like that again.'

Why not strike from a distance? At least you'll be granted a few moments to dodge anything incoming.

Fair enough. Agreeing with Throne for a change, the former hobo summoned her mask to her face, only to be hit by the Single Shot before she could even think - it was too fast for her to reliably dodge, even with the many years of experience under her belt.

"You prick..." She grumbled, the strike causing her to take a few steps back, before falling to one knee. She didn't get up immediately, wanting some time to recover. As for revenge, she launched a Hama at the damn thing, hoping it wouldn't be reflected once again.

For once, the Hama worked. The clownish monster squirmed in pain as the light spell hit it. The fat clown fell down and tried to get up. Seeing this as a chance, Sio summoned Mnemosyne and launched a Zio onto the downed Bouffon.

Electricity coursed through the Bouffon's body, and the Shadow was greatly weakened. Grinning, Karma threw an Agi towards the downed Bouffon, but strangely, the weakened Shadow seemed unaffected by it.

"Tch, that thing's immune to fire," Karma grumbled as he adjusted his crimson mask. The weakened Shadow squirmed, trying to get up but was too weak to do so.

Well, considering the Shadow was immune to Agi, it was extremely likely that it had fire-based moves. Mayu could definitely use that skill set to her advantage.

I wouldn't be so sure, you can't even cast Agi yourself...

Ignoring Throne and feeling somewhat cocky, she decided to let the Shadow cling to life for a few more seconds, opting to cast a Dia on herself. As the shower of energy washed her, she could feel the pain ebb away, from two earlier blows.

Man, that sucked.

Slowly, the Bouffon got up, but seemed to be too weakened to stand properly. It looked at Mayu for a few seconds before it let out a strange noise. Then it let out some kind of strange aura, aiming it towards the woman. It was an Evil Touch.

As soon as the clownish monster launched its Evil Touch towards Mayu, Sio fired a Zio towards it. Electricity coursed through its body and it let out a strange death wail before it melted into a pool of black mud.

Karma looked at Mayu to see if the spell from the clown earlier managed to affect her or not.

A thought found its way to her mind - what if the creature had been underestimated and lashed at her? What if it killed them all? Mayu had seen small people commit atrocious actions before, it wouldn't be the first time.

Her face grew pale as her mind actually played out scenarios, and she seemed frozen in place, not getting up from her kneeling position. Her eyes watched the beast as if she was hypnotized, and she wasn't too sure if she should battle, or flee. The feeling was extremely unfamiliar.

As the Shadow was killed, the fear was still there. It had transmogrified into fear of the Ruins itself. One of her hands gripped her own knee tightly as she tried to get a hold of herself, to no avail.

Yup, the Evil Touch spell had messed with her mind.
