Chapter 68: Zeth vs The Clown Doll

The clown doll has become life-size and now intends to tear Zeth apart!

Zeth shakes off his initial shock. “I don’t have time for this!”

The clown doll starts walking toward him. He quickly runs toward the clown doll while charging his fist with magic energy and punches the left side of the doll’s torso. The upper left side of its torso and its entire left arm are destroyed.

“Well, you certainly are not as tough as you are scary,” Zeth remarks.

The wound starts to glow gray with magic, and the torso and arm grow back.

Zeth frowns in annoyance. “No! Come on!”

Zeth starts charging magic energy into his hands as he shouts, “I’ll just get rid of every part of your body!”

He shouts, “Star Shards!” as he throws five star shards at the doll. They cut off both arms, both legs, and its head.

However, it grows all of those back almost immediately, and then leaps at Zeth.

“Not good!” Zeth gasps just before he dives out of the way and heads to the opposite side of the room.

The doll stands up after its leap misses but does not turn around to face Zeth.

“The magic properties of this mansion apply to the doll too?” Zeth wonders, his nerves increasing.

The doll walks toward the safe.

Zeth’s eyes widen. “Don’t tell me it’s…!!”

The doll opens the safe, causing the room to go dark.

“I can’t fight like this!” Before Zeth can do anything further, he is attacked by the doll. The clown starts using its claws to slash Zeth which greatly damages him, but it’s too dark for him to counter.

“Gahh! Err! …Wait, I can use this! Starlight Shield!”

The Starlight Shield makes Zeth glow and provides him with a little seeing light. He kicks the doll off of him, and then runs to the door, but it’s locked when the room is dark.

“Figures that it’s locked when you can’t see! Gotta close the safe then!”

He tries to slow down the doll with his Star Shards but, since his shield lowers his offensive strength, it does not cut through.

“Hand to hand it is then.”

He charges at the doll, which becomes more aggressive. They begin to punch each other, exchanging repeated blows.

“Even with my shield, these punches hurt. This doll is powerful.”

He tries to get around the doll but its speed has increased too.

“Maybe I can use a ranged ability. Demon Chains!”

The magic chains wrap around the handle on the open door of the safe. However, with one less arm to use, the clown doll rapidly punches him with little resistance. Though he took a lot of damage, he closes the safe, turning on the lights in the room once again.

He releases his Starlight Shield and destroys the doll’s head with a punch. He quickly jumps back away from the doll. He is bloody from all the damage he took from the doll’s attacks.

The doll’s head grows back, no closer to defeat than before.

Zeth smirks. “Okay, now it’s time we take this battle up a notch.”

Zeth now has the room lit up and the door unlocked! What is his plan to win the battle?!
