Let's Play Monmusu Quest: Paradox [part 2] - 59: Snowy Shrine

Beginning

<- Previous: Snow Heaven

We are exploring the mysterious Snow Continent.  As we learnt from Snow Heaven last time, the continent is a bit of heaven that fell out of the sky after some catastrophe befell Ilias some thirty years ago.  It’s inhabited by a bunch of angels ranging from the cute (which we’ve already seen) to the—shudder—Delphinus (which, spoiler, we are about to experience).

There are three locations of interest in the south.

To the west is the Ilias Temple Ruins.  You won’t be able to enter it at this point as it’s surrounded by some kind of magical barrier.

Ilias Temple Ruins

Straight south is the mysterious Creation House (Genesis Temple? Not sure of the exact translation here).

Creation House

And to the east is the Snowy Shrine

Snowy Shrine.  The right one this time!

The Snowy Shrine in the southeast is where we need to go, but before then let’s take a gander at the mysterious Creation House

I’m not sure what this location is.  It’s full of treasure chests, including another of the metallic ones I still can’t open as I haven’t yet found where the Lockpick III ability is hiding.  I think it’s in the advanced rogue/thief Trickster job, but I haven’t reached it yet as levelling up the advanced jobs takes a long long time (I’m assuming TTR only intended for players to be just dipping into these classes at the end of part 2 rather than maxing them out).

The place is infested with angels.  Cupid and Valkyrie return from the original series.

Nice, normal angels

They are joined by other... horrors.

Delphinus hath returned

There is some kind of pentagram on the top floor, but we don’t appear to be able to activate it.  Overall, this place seems a bit of a mystery.  Either it’s somewhere we’re supposed to come back to later, or has significance for players on the Ilias route.

The Snowy Shrine in the southeast is really a twisty path leading to a cave/ancient temple.  On the bottom floor there are a few statues and stone plaques with sparkles that turn out to be nothing when Luka investigates.  You need to travel all the way to the end where...

What?

I skipped Uranus and Eliciel?  You want to know the “sexy” details of their Bad Ends?

Are you sure?

Really sure?

Okay then.

Uranus will suck your cock into her giant pussy and hold you there with various tentacles.

Sea Anemone + Vagina.  A description to run away from.  Too late!

After her big soft pussy has milked a giant load from you, she slowly starts to suck the rest of you into her pussy, feet first.

Much too late...

Slowly.  So she can tell you about how she’s digesting your legs and lower body while you’re still alive.

Eliciel will turn you into a fruit.  Literally.

See that big dangly berry thing.  In you go.

Well, I suppose she's an improvement over the pomegranate angel in the original series

She then rubs and splodges her other soft dangling fruit against your flesh.

I don't know what's going on here.  I'm not sure I want to know...

They wrap around your body and feel great.  And then she turns you into a fruit.

Delphinus angels.  I did try to warn you.

Anyway, back to the main story.  It won’t come as much of a surprise that the angel chief waiting at the end of the snowy shrine is Eden.  A very naked Eden.

Back to conventionally sexy angels

She is busy doing magical barrier stuff and complains about the cold.  Sonya being Sonya, points out she can always put some clothes on.  Eden tells us that won’t help.  Her cold is more of a metaphorical kind.  She’s cold in her heart until Ilias returns.

(I imagine this scene plays out rather differently if you have Ilias in the party rather than Alice.)

Eden gets angry at any mention of lowering the barrier, thinking we’ve come to defile Ilias’s temple.  Which culminates rather predictably in a boss fight.

I was expecting her Bad End to be a repeat of her scene in the original series where she draws Luka into her garden of delights (she also has another scene that isn’t quite so delightful...).  However, falling from heaven appears to have cut her off from her full monster form and instead we get a nice bit of angel cowgirl.

A new scene for Eden?

I think this might be a new Bad End scene.  Unfortunately, angels use their divine vaginas to exploit the energy of mortals.  She doesn’t kill Luka, but his fate is to be used as a battery to power her up while she keeps the barrier running.

Only if you fail to beat her, which we don’t.  After we defeat her, Eden spots that Luka has some angel blood running through him.  Machine translation was a little rocky for me here.  Luka mentions that his mother was Lucifina and somehow we hoodwink Eden into agreeing to lower the barrier long enough for us to enter the Ilias Temple Ruins.

So, mission accomplished.  It’s time to head west to Ilias temple.  As we walk towards it, Sonya confesses to being worried.  She has a bad feeling about what awaits us in the Ilias temple.

Premonitions.  Can you say, premonitions.

I think we might be about to find out the truth behind MQ:P’s impossible girl, the girl Ilias told us should not exist (way way back near the start of part 1).

Also, that reminds me: Where is Ilias?  I haven’t seen her and her scrapgang party of Doggo and Slime Girl for a while now.  Did I forget to rescue them somewhere?  It seems weird they haven’t shown up on our path for a while, but I suppose it also makes some sense.  The NPCs in this region would be behaving a lot differently if pint-sized Ilias had already been through here.

Anyway, I suspect we’re now approaching the end (maybe).  Time to enter that mysterious temple...

Let's Play Monmusu Quest: Paradox [part 2] - 58: Snow Heaven

Beginning

<- Previous: Snow Continent

We have successfully penetrated the interior of the snow continent.  There are angels.  Lots of angels.

There are five variations of the booby angel soldiers.

Luka's Angels?

They were present in the original series (although not until part 3), and their Bad End is appropriately boobilicious.

Boobilicious times 5

As you’d expect from an Arekishi creation, their Bad End involves paizuri… lots and lots of paizuri.  The whole squad takes it in turns to wank Luka off with their breasts.  Yup, definitely boobilicious.

The Trinity angels from the original series are also present.

More sexy angels...

I love their temptation scene.  Two of them hold our arms while the third opens up her top as if to say, “You’re about to get a good boobing.”

"I am now going to boob you."

And she does indeed give us a good boobing.

Maximum boobing

Up, down, squeeze... until our knees are trembling and we’ve emptied our balls all over her divine chest.

That’s just the temptation scene.  For the Bad End Trinity decides that three of them isn’t enough and they enlist the help of another squad for their cross of holy punishment.

Apparently, this is angelic punishment

Face pressed into boobs.  Boobs wrapped around back of head.  Hand pressed into boobs.  Double boobs pressed around cock.  Boobs, boobs, and more boobs.

And this is the punishment for sinning?

Don’t mind me, I’m just off to go and kick puppies and maybe burn down an orphanage or two.

I’m a sinner and I need boobs punishment.

The village we saw at the end of the last post is filled with angels.

Village of angels

One of them gives a proper explanation for how the snow continent came into being.  People had it wrong when they thought it was raised up out of the oceans.  It’s a chunk of heaven that fell out of the sky.  Many angels were killed in this disaster and then found themselves stranded without their divine powers (which explains how our parties of random monster girls can even fight them—in the original series the angels had some form of divine protection and only Luka could even touch them).  The angels built the town using what they’d learnt from humans and have been holding on in hope of Ilias’s return ever since.

Within the town you can find the usual assortment of blacksmith, item shop, weapon shop, inn, etc.  There’s a restaurant where the angels feel very guilty about how much they enjoy various cakes and sweets.  Surprisingly there is also a battlefucker in the town:

Lone survivor Shoki

She is Shoki and is the last remaining survivor of an expedition sent by Sabasa to investigate the snow continent.  Some of the angels even talk about Sabasa.  They refer to the ruler as a barbarian nympho.  If you have Sara in the party she will be upset about this in her swordswoman form.  Sonya tries to comfort her… until Sara flips to her succubus form and reveals she’s quite proud of her nympho reputation.

Alicetroemeria continues to be very unlike the Black Alice everyone remembers.  She likes the polar bears and even wonders if she can be friends with the angels.  Again, it makes you wonder what happened to change this incarnation into the total monster Black Alice everyone fears.

There is also talk of a chief angel, but she’s currently not here and instead pouring her energies into keeping a barrier up.

In her absence another angel has been nominated to run the town.  She can be found up in the top right corner of Snow Heaven.

You seem familiar...

She is Ranael and looks suspiciously like the angel that decimated Luka’s home village in another timeline.  If that’s the case then you probably really don’t want to see what’s under that dress.

Talking to Ranael confirms what the other NPCs have been saying.  The snow continent fell out of the heavens after a catastrophe some thirty years ago.  The source of the mana disruption is likely the Ilias temple—the real one, not the one in Iliasville.  But we won’t be able to enter at the moment as it’s protected by a barrier maintained by the chief angel (likely Eden).

This is another occasion where I wonder how much the Ilias path has diverged.  All the NPCs here would likely be reacting a lot differently if Luka rocked up with Ilias in tow.  Or maybe they wouldn’t recognise her in her loli, depowered form.

Anyway, we have our next target.  We need to go down to the shrine in the southeast and ask the angel chief to kindly drop the barrier long enough for us to enter the Ilias Temple Ruins.

-> Next: Snowy Shrine

Let's Play Monmusu Quest: Paradox [part 2] - 19: Esta

<- Previous: Resolving the Plansect Civil War

We appear to have gotten all the various side quests out of the way.  That means it’s time to head off to Esta and maybe the first Tartarus trip of MQ:P part 2.  Esta is a village midway between Grand Noah and the border with Grangold.  As with Rubiana in part 1, there’s been a mysterious disappearance and all of the inhabitants are missing.  If you were wandering through this section of the world map aimlessly in search of new monster girls, you would have found the village off-limits.

Esta with the ominous Tartarus rift just above it

Now it’s open, and... things get a little weird.

The first time we enter Esta it’s hard to see what the problem is.  The village is far from abandoned.  There are plenty of people walking around.  Wasn’t everyone in this village supposed to have vanished?

There are plenty of hints that things aren’t quite right.  The first is fairly obvious – Luka is here on his own.  Our personal monster girl harem is not with us.

We also can’t leave.  The roads are magically sealed to prevent us from leaving.  The same applies to harpy feathers and warp spells.

The people here also seem a little too cheerful.

Ah, this would be why.

We're not in Esta anymore

Carry on walking to the east and the town gives way to fluffy clouds and angels.  And that explains what’s going on.  We’re not actually in Esta.  We’re in some kind of heavenly copy up in the sky overhead.

This also explains what happened to the people of Rubiana and Esta.  The angels abducted them and brought them all here.  They also seem to be running every aspect of the people’s lives, including changing people’s jobs to what they think will make the person most happy.

The Tartarus location in the lake also extends all the way up here as a pitch-black hole.  Currently there’s no way to get to it.

In the north of the village is a big cathedral.  When we first enter the village, the cathedral doors are locked.  One of the guards tells us that they won’t open until a bell chimes.  This isn’t a particularly hard puzzle.  The bell is either on a timer, or triggered by walking over various tiles in the village.

The cathedral

Once the bell rings, the game tells you, and you can go back to the cathedral.

Which isn’t a cathedral.

Walking through the door sends us into some kind of wibbly-wobbly cosmic space.  There we’re met by the angel Rafaela.

We don’t have long to talk before a demon – Sai-Shin? – teleports in.

Your choice is Angel Tits or Snake Tits.

I’m not totally convinced I got her name right, machine translation not always being the most reliable and all that.  I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s supposed to be Satan, or Shaitan.  She looks fairly familiar.  I think she might be one of the ‘Big 6’ demons Toro Toro Resistance posted on his website before Paradox came out.  She has a bit of a snaky theme going on.

Her and Rafaela have what appears to be long and involved metaphysical debate about freedom and choice.  Rafaela says her and the angels are making the humans very happy by controlling every aspect of their lives, so that the humans don’t make the mistakes that would fuck up their lives.  Sai-Shin counters by questioning whether the lives have any value if the humans have no control over them.  She argues that the humans need the freedom to make their own decisions, even if some of those decisions are the wrong ones.

Then they turn and ask us which of them we agree with.

Um, yeah.  Not going near that one with a ten-foot barge pole.

Is there a third option?  Yep.  Take the third option.

Then it’s back down to Esta where Alice lets Luka know he went nowhere and just spaced out for a few moments (similar to what happens whenever Luka visits the Hades location hidden in Ilias’s temple).

Real Esta is empty.  As with Rubiana, everyone has gone and various investigators are wandering around and trying to work out what happened.  We know the answer, of course, but I doubt anyone will believe us.

The angels abducted them all to a happy place up in the sky.

Right yer are, mate.

The one key difference between Esta Below and Esta Above is that Esta Below has a way to reach the Tartarus location in the lake.  There are rowboats moored up on a pier.  We grab one and row out into the lake.

We’re going to Tartarus.  What strangeness is waiting for us this time?

Nothing as it happens.  We get to the edge of blackness and there’s no way to go further.

Really?  After all those side quests through the Realms of Nope.  Fack!

Oh well, nothing for it but to row back to the village.  We manage to make it back to the pier before there’s a big crash behind us and Gnosis emerges from the darkness of Tartarus.

Gnosis, Angel of Nope

Uh oh.  She was the angel that killed Micaela in part 1.  She tells us that she’s calculated that history has diverged so far from the “correct” path she might as well kill everyone.

Not today, Gnosis.

Gnosis is not that tough, but takes an age to take down.  The HP of bosses seems to have ramped up a lot as we get deeper into part 2.  I might have to take a closer look at min/maxing some of my characters, especially the ones responsible for dishing out damage, as these boss fights keep taking a while.

Knocking Gnosis back makes her reconsider the whole obliterating us from existence thing.

(Just fucking kill the bitch, Luka.  She killed Auntie Micaela.)

Especially when she overhears Luka mentioning he’d spoken with Rafaela.  She decides she might have made the wrong call and we might be powerful enough to do whatever the angels are trying to engineer to stop the world being destroyed.  Then she flies off.

Remind me, why did we come to Esta again?

Looks like we might as well report what we know (ha!) to Queen Noah.  But before then, Alice mentions that Undine’s Spring is not far from here, and we should pop by to contract with Undine.

Off to the caves of slimy pleasures it is then.

But before then, we shall look into the alternate universe opened up through the wonders of save scumming, to find a Luka who did not fare so well in his boss fight versus Gnosis.

(Are we sure?  It is a Xelvy.)

Blowjob doesn't seem so bad...

Well, this doesn’t seem so bad.  Gnosis seals our movements with angelic power and then comes close for what I guess will be a bit of cock-slurping.  I’m fine with th—

!!!!!!

Grahh!

What the fuck is going on with that mouth?  That does not look a comfortable place to put my pride and joy.  It’s not like we have any say about it.  The ring Gnosis slaps over Luka’s cock to prevent him from coming also looks far too tight to be comfortable.

The ring apparently doesn’t stop us from pissing, which Gnosis makes us do, and then slurps up because sado-crazy angel or something.

Her mouthparts must not be as bad as they look, because after a few minutes of them vacuuming away on Luka’s no-longer-so-dangly bits gives him an urge to come that’s painful with the ring blocking it.  So it’s one of those classic Bad Ends where the femdom succubus/monster girls wants us to beg her to let us come.  Well, we all know how they end up, so we won’t be—

We beg her to let us cum.

Gnosis sucks out so much that Luka ends up going floppy.  I don’t think I’ve seen that before.  Maybe that’s true angel power.  Gnosis says that’s okay.  She has a means to give our drooping little man some support.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and: ow ow ow)

Graghhhwww!

Tongues do not go there!  Especially spiky tongues that look like they’re covered in barbed wire.

It works and that’s more white stuff for Gnosis to slurp up.  Unfortunately, there’s no Beyond the End and happy frolicking kittens this time around.  Gnosis keeps sucking until Luka is empty of energy and dead.

Don’t mess with the angels, Luka.

-> Next: Undine’s Spring

Let's Play Violated Hero 5! part 14

Hmm.  So last week ended up being a little strange.  I was engaged in a mad race to finish a short story for a competition (and failed because the damn thing ran over 10K words) and then got distracted by the current upheaval in the videogaming community.  That’s enough of that anyway.  Time to get back to the playthrough of Violated Hero 5 (The first part is here for new visitors).

On the off chance I picked up some new readers with my last few blog posts, this warning is important:  Violated Hero 5 is a sexually explicit hentai game.  The following is not suitable browsing material for minors.  And I definitely don’t want any holier-than-thou types sniffing around for things to feed their outrage habit.

With all that out of the way, where were we?

Oh yeah, we kicked Satan’s ass.  Sweet.

Satan is a little shocked at being beaten.  Luka-clone does his usual naive hero thing of asking Satan politely to desist from oppressing the poor humans.

Um dude, this is like Satan.  The supreme evil in the universe and all that.

Oh shit.  I think she's mad about losing.

Turns out she’s not exactly “defeated” either.

At this point I got a little confused by the translation.  I thought Luka-clone might have killed her in that typical ‘the enemy I refuse to kill because of my morals obligingly leaps onto the end of my sword’ way storytellers use when they need a baddie dead but don't want their hero to actually do the dirty deed directly.

Nope.  This time it’s the opposite way around from the Safi scene.  Satan is about to tear Luka-clone apart – in the giblets and gore sense rather than the sexual sense VH usually employs.  Thankfully, Luna-Tea show up at that moment.  Or maybe not thankfully, her silhouette was on the level map as a boss fight as well.

Then it gets a bit Reservoir Dogs complicated.  Luna-Tea starts powering up to obliterate Satan once and for all.  Safi comes charging to the rescue and Ariel gets in between Safi and Luna-Tea.

Turns out Safi’s intervention didn’t achieve a great deal and we’re back to the goddess charging up to dish out Satan’s imminent obliteration.  Which leaves . . .

Luka-clone, don’t tell me you’re stupid enough to step right into the middle of . . .

Yes, of course Luka-clone, the ambulatory bag of concentrated semen and hopelessly naive hero, is going to step right between a goddess and the supreme evil of that universe.  Why not.  Sigh.

Ariel, who’s been completely terrified of Luna-Tea all game, frantically begs Luka-clone to get on his knees and beg for mercy before he ends up like Rorschach at the end of Watchmen (does that still need a spoiler warning?  Both the comic and film have been out for aeons).

Luna-Tea decides not to turn our hero into a smear of giblets and gore and offers to make him king of the humans.

That’s weakness!  If they don’t obliterate you on the spot they’re scared of you.  Get in there, Luka-clone!

. . . and fight both of them.  At the same time.  Ulp.

Um, Luka-clone buddy, I think we may have been a little rash here.

I think this is a new thing for the series.  I don’t think they’ve ever set two bosses on the main character simultaneously before (although I might be wrong as I never made it to the last sections of VH3).  It’s less intimidating that it first looks.  Neither hits that hard.  Once again the tier 2 special attack seems to do more damage than the tier 3 special attack for some reason.  Quaffing one super potion is enough to get past Ariel and another two give me enough juice to take out Luna-Tea.  It also helps that they switch to the useless sex attack at critical points in the fight.  (Ariel’s is some weird slime tube thing.  I have no idea where she’s been stashing that).

The annoying thing from my perspective is I don’t know whether I’ll need to repeat the fight multiple times to check if the Bad End varies depending on whether you lose to both, or Ariel or Luna-Tea on their own after the other is taken out.

Anyway, I use the handy boot icon (escape vs normal mooks, instant death vs bosses) to throw the fight to both.

Afterwards Luna-Tea decides not to murderate us.  She needs a puppet king and that post has Luka-clone’s name on it.  Luka-clone refuses, obviously, which means we get to see what perverted sexual stuff the goddess will use to break poor Luka-clone’s fragile little mind.

And we start with that Violated Hero favourite – a good ole cock stamping.

Hmm, if Luna-Tea’s foot is going down on Luka-clone’s penis, then where is Ariel’s stamping foot going.  Oh yeah, best to not think about that too much.

shiver

You know how if you squeeze the bottom of a tube of toothpaste . . .

No, let’s not think about that either.  Or delicate dangly parts of the male anatomy being squished in general.

They complain about Luka-clone dirtying a goddess’s foot with his semen (Hey, not our fault!) and so they get Luka-clone to clean it off.  With his mouth.

You have to watch out for the “good” ones.  They’re always meaner.

Now it’s time for scene two and . . .

Ah.  Thanks Dieselmine.  Tons of angry holier-than-thou fucks on the rampage and you give me something that doesn’t look dodgy at all . . .

I should probably remind people again that these are cartoons and the thing with cartoons is you can screw around with size and proportion to exaggerate certain things for effect.  I mean look at the size of Ariel’s foot as she tries to boot Luka-clone into Luna-Tea’s pussy.  I’m sure she was about the same size as Luka-clone when they were doing the naughty earlier.  The size changes also become more obvious when you check out the other pics below.

Generally these games try to hit a range of kinks to make sure a wide audience can find at least one scene that hammers their fetish button.  I suspect this is flirting with pseudo-incest mother-son fantasies.  The last game had Busty, the ludicrously pneumatic cow demoness, in a Bad End that also played around with size differences, as well as big breasts and lactation.  That’s how these games tend to be.  Sometimes they stray into territory that’s a little dubious by Western standards.  Personally I’d prefer it if the protagonist for VH6 was six foot tall, built like a brick shithouse . . . and still got sexually demolished by hot, big-titted succubi, but I’m guessing Dieselmine know their audience better than me.  They had me hooked at big-titted demon girls anyway.

I didn't want to say anything on this, but sensitive area, people getting wrong idea, massive outrage machine on the internet, yadda, yadda, only here for the giant demon boobies anyway.

Moving on . . .

Luka-clone gets to fuck a goddess with some help from Ariel.  I feel a little sorry for Ariel as she doesn’t seem to be getting much out of this.  Then she pulls a flogger out and starts flogging our back.

Well that’s what sympathy gets you.  Thanks Ariel, would you like to rub some lemon juice into the flayed flesh while you’re here.

So we have a sort of half-maternal, half-BDSM hybrid Bad End scene.  Luka-clone breaks after he pours most of his spirit along with his cum into Luna-Tea’s juicy pussy.

Because they’re a major boss, we get the usual interlude followed by an extra Bad End scene.

Luna-Tea talks with Ariel a bit about balance, I think.  The impression I get is that if things aren’t in balance then a scary monster girl will show up and eat all the worlds.  I’m guessing that’s Alice-clone in a silly hat and she’ll turn out to be the overall final boss (They did drop a big hint – she’s the girl on the cover of the game after all).

Afterwards Luna-Tea goes off to have fun with her boy-toy Luka-clone (who seems to have grown a foot and a half since the last scene).  Aside from a blindfold on Luka-clone this is a much more restrained scene as the amply-gifted-in-the-chest-department goddess rides him to multiple magic-induced orgasms.

Oh, and we’re not done either.

At the end Ariel shows up and complains that she’s been left out.

Does this mean?  Yes, it’s a fourth scene featuring Luna-Tea and Ariel double pussy-rubbing Luka-clone’s cock.

The scene looks a little complicated and I’m not entirely sure what’s happened to Luna-Tea’s left leg, but everyone appears to be having a good time.  Luna-Tea and Ariel take turns to put Luka-clone’s manhood in their vaginas.  Everyone gets splattered with the white stuff.

It’s good to be the king, I guess.

It's also good for me as with four scenes I can be reasonably certain the same Bad End is used regardless of which combination of Ariel and Luna-Tea is around when they defeat you.

So the rule for VH protagonists:  Lose to the later bosses and not the early ones.  (Unless it’s the psycho one at the end of VH2.  If a tail goes in your ass and carries on until it comes out of your mouth, very bad things have happened to your insides).

So we’ve beaten both Team Evil and Team Good.  I guess that leaves Alice-clone in a silly hat.  Maybe we’ll also find out where the mystery tenth boss is hiding.

Let's Play Violated Hero 5! part 3

This is a continuation of the Violated Hero 5 playthrough.  Violated Hero 5 is a sexually explicit (and sexually bizarre!) hentai game.  If you’re likely to bothered by such things please bugger off now.

Last time we saw Dieselmine maintaining their reputation for unhinged Bad Ends as Luka-clone ended up being ingested and then impregnated by the alraune Chestnut.  (This should be advance warning of what to expect from this game).

Now we go back to the ‘true’ universe where Luka-clone won the fight.  Ariel reveals herself to be a bloodthirsty little minx.  She wants Luka-clone to finish Chestnut off while she’s vulnerable.  Luka-clone, being a pathetic little goody-two-shoes hero, is reluctant to do this.  (and Chestnut gives him two good reasons not to)

Rather than off her, Luka-clone forces Chestnut to promise she won’t subjugate and squeeze the energy out of the feeble humans.  Ariel is pissed off with this, but it will keep the players at home happy.  No one wants to kick the pretty girl in the tits, even if she is a semen-squeezing horror.

If you’d seen what happened in the Bad End you’d be singing a different tune, Luka-clone buddy . . .

Ariel tries to ascribe the victory to her divine protection.  Um, not convinced by that.  She definitely seems loopy.  With this world freed (sort of—I doubt Chestnut will be sticking to her promise) Ariel looks for a way to get to the next world.

Ooh, cutaway to a demonic throne room.  Luka-clone’s activities have not gone unnoticed.  It’s time to introduce the main bad guys.

The big bad is Satan him . . . er . . . herself.  She’s supposedly a sadistic tyrant that rules over all ten worlds.  She looks slutty.  We like slutty.

With her is Dragon Princess Safi.  She appears to be Satan’s lieutenant.  I guess that makes her both the literal and figurative Dragon.  She looks pissed off.

So will Satan do the obvious RPG thing of sitting on her ass while the plucky hero levels up enough to be able to beat her?  Nope, she’s going to get out there right now and nip this in the bud.  Smart gal . . . uh . . . supreme demonic majesty.

Back to tree world and Ariel is telling Luka-clone about how they can metastatise to the next world.  Metastatise?  I’m guessing that is a weird translation bug.

Ariel proves she isn’t completely useless by offering to teach Luka-clone some magic.  This is interrupted as Satan makes an appearance along with Pissed-Off Princess Safi.

Being a noble angel, Ariel stays behind to even the odds and at least make it 2 vs 2.

Does she bollocks.  She’s off in the sky before Luka-clone can even smell Satan’s slutty perfume.

So, 2 vs 1, with the 2 being the supreme evil rulers of all the worlds.  Fair odds then.

They shout a bit at Luka-clone.  Seems a little unfair.  Maybe they should have left someone stronger than Little Miss Potted Plant to rule this world.  It’s all Ariel’s fault anyway.  She forced us to do it.

Hmm, Luka-clone, why are you going into battle stance?  This is Satan and your level isn’t even out of the single digits yet.

He thinks he can end this all right now if he defeats the demon king.

Yeah right, like that’s going to happen.

Satan is quite generous.  We get three free attacks, all dealing precisely zero damage, before she slaps us for 9999 damage.  Yep, that old standby—the unwinnable boss fight to set up how badass the final boss is.

With Luka-clone smeared across the floor, it’s Pinched-Face Princess Safi who takes on the mantle of bloodthirsty minx as she tries to talk Satan into delivering the finishing blow.  She’d get on well with Ariel I reckon.  They’re probably going to sexy double-team Luka-clone at some point anyway.  After taking a promising pro-active approach Satan returns to the failbook of evil overlords everywhere and decides Luka-clone isn’t worth bothering with . . . for now.  That’s understandable given that she’s just flattened us in comprehensively one-sided fashion.  I guess we’re going to need to grind through a lot of random mooks.

Once the big bads have departed Ariel decides it’s safe to return and she gives Luka-clone some shit for his pathetic attempt at resistance.

Hey, we tried.  Where were you?

Ariel’s pep talk involves kicking Luka-clone to the floor and stamping on his cock.  Yep, I’m sure that will motivate us.

Ah, it’s the footjob scene.  Every Violated Hero since VH2 has featured a scene where the Big Bad shows up early, smacks the Luka-clone around and then gives him a sadistic footjob to show how powerful and dominant she is.  At least they change things around in VH5 in that it’s the companion that gets in on the cock-stamping.

This doesn’t seem very angelic, Ariel.  Just sayin’. . .

Oh.  Apparently there was a reason for the humiliation.  This was Ariel’s way of teaching Luka-clone a new magical attack.  Uh thanks, I think.

(Now let me go off and have a cry while I wait for my poor battered cock to stop throbbing in pain).
