Jackal : The Goddess Of Death

Chapter 40: Chase Down



Alice was getting slammed through multiple tweet threads that felt like she was getting speared through mountains. She felt her bones ache in her body. She now fully understood the difference between a paradox and a zenith class.

Daemon kicked Alice into the search bar, which made the background behind her turn into several jackal and dog images. While she was still reeling from the pain, she got an idea. As Daemon charged at her, she slammed on the search bar. Daemon's arm transformed into a scythe, and he tried to slash Alice in half but missed. She made him hit the search bar, which brought them to images and showed pictures across the web of scythes. One spawned beside Alice, nearly cutting her arm off. Another one spawned inside of Daemon, piercing him through the chest. He ripped the scythe out of him as Alice charged in at him. He threw it at her and she spun and kicked it away. Once she landed, she didn't stop running towards him.

She spawned two null balls in her hand. She fired the first one like a projectile, which the anomaly dodged. At a closer range, Alice fired off the second one, but the null orb was dodged and she got gut-punched, making her eyes constrict in pain. Daemon slammed her through the screen background, launching her into a new area. This time, she was on an AI art website.

Daemon jumped through the hole Alice made in the screen wall and let out an ear-piercing screech. He turned both his hands into balls and chains. Alice was about to grab her scepter but grabbed her sickles instead.

The two began training blows. Alice could keep up with him speed-wise, but his strength was far greater than her own. She mostly had to read, dodge, and deflect Daemon's attacks, as a single one could prove fatal.

Daemon's chest extended into a javelin and it nearly impaled Alice in the chest, but she managed to parry it. But this left her let's open to the much more flexible, transformative Daemon. He swept her legs by growing a tentacle out of his left leg. Then, he turned his arm into a hammer and slammed her into the AI description writer. It gave a description for her and started loading up an AI image of her.

Daemon started charging at her again, this time, turning both his hands with scythes. Alice looked back at the loaded image of her and couldn't help but cringe mid-fight at how bad the art was. But then she saw what was in her hand. It was her scepter. She grabbed it out of the AI art and pulled her actual scepter from her back. She then took the two and cracked Daemon on the head as he missed his swing on her. He went flying into the walls of the app and fell into Adobe Editor.

Meanwhile, Pinoy was following her as she and the Cyber Demon broke through internet dimensions. He managed to get outside of the screen in Adobe, while Alice was getting whopped by Daemon inside the screen. She was outclassed in nearly every regard and she needed help. She was on the defensive, but would only be able to stay like that for so long. So, Pinoy climbed up to the top of the screen inside the screen. When he got there, he saw the toolbar.

As Daemon was about to slice Alice in half, he was blocked by a rigged black line. It was drawn by Pinoy thanks to the toolbar. Pinoy tried to use the eraser to delete Daemon, but he dodged it. Daemon used his own body matter to create Shuriken which knocked down Pinoy into the screen.

Daemon was about to kill them again with his scythe hands, but Pinoy's phone managed to teleport them out of there with another portal. Now, they were at the basic computer window.

"Holy crap!" Alice said while panting heavily. "That guy is really, really strong."

"Duh. It's a zenith class. Why didn't you use any of your abilities?"

"Well, I can't use death mist or you'd die. Plus, it doesn't work on opponents equal or stronger than me. As for what that implies, I don't really know, so I usually just go based on rank. Death mist wouldn't affect a zenith class in its burst form. As for null, I didn't get the chance. It takes a few seconds to charge, a chance I don't get when my opponent is DOZENS OF TIMES FASTER THAN ME!!!"

"Ok, look. We need to kill this thing. I've been studying it for years. I know what its primary weakness is. It can't be taken positively. The more negative and hostile the internet is, the stronger he gets. Do you have anything lovey-dovey, cringe, wholesome... something, anything?!"

Alice thought to herself for a minute. "What about Belle's channel?"

"That's not gonna work. Belle's way too much of a narcissistic."

"She's not... Ok, maybe just a little bit. Well, I do have... one thing."

"What?"

Alice pulls out her phone and shows Pinoy a video. Pinoy's face when completely blank at what he just witnessed. It was 3 minutes of something he'd never wash out of his head.

"Will this do?"

"You are... a completely degenerate simp. Not even femcels gush over celebrities as hard as you do for-"

"Just answer the damn question."

"... Yes, it should work."

A crack started to appear in front of them. It was Daemon, who broke through the space in the computer screen. His eye peaked through, demonic and sadistic. 

"Ok, time to go." Pinoy tapped his phone again and spawned another portal for them to go through as Daemon pursued them.
