Chapter 69: Burn!

Chapter 69: Burn!

With Sasha missing, Zeth continues to face a tough battle against the clown doll!

Zeth spits out the blood in his mouth just before he confidently says, “This fight’s going to a different room.”

He runs out the door, and the clown doll pursues him. As the clown doll exits the room into the hallway, it sees Zeth at the other end of it charging a Star Shine Blast.

“Here’s a present for you!” Zeth shouts.

Zeth releases the Star Shine Blast. It's a direct hit that destroys most of the clown doll’s body. However, the clown doll regenerates again.

“Can this doll regenerate from any attack?” Zeth frantically asks.

The clown doll jumps up at the ceiling and sticks to it. It begins quickly crawling along the ceiling toward Zeth.

“I don’t think that’s something clowns are supposed to do,” Zeth says, creeped out.

He forms and throws four Star Shards at the doll, but it evades all of them with its deceptively fast crawling speed. It then jumps down toward Zeth and attacks by landing a powerful punch to his face, knocking him back into the door at the end of the hallway.

He is now sitting against the door and lifts his head up to see the doll right in front of him. It is ready to continue its onslaught. The doll rapidly punches him, and he takes a beating. But then he grabs the clown doll’s left arm and kicks its left leg to knock it off its feet. At the same time, the doll uses its right arm to punch him in the face. The doll falls backward while Zeth has to recompose himself.

“Damn…” Zeth mutters as he stands up.

The doll makes more deranged noises and then the top of its head opens, and five one-foot-tall clones of the doll come out. The hole closes, and all the dolls are making the same deranged sounds, just at a higher pitch.

“This is creepy and I’m not getting any closer to defeating the clown doll!” Zeth mutters to himself. “Think…! That’s it! Out of my way, clowns!”

Zeth charges at the clown dolls, punching all of them as he tries to get past them. After that, he reaches a door to a room and goes inside. The clown dolls pursue and follow him in.

Zeth has his magic chain wrapped around the handle of the safe’s door even while he stands directly in front of it. He uses a hand gesture to signal he wants the clown dolls to come toward him.

“Come at me,” he says while smirking.

The five clones all rush toward Zeth. Using his one remaining available arm and his legs, he pounds all the clones into the floor. He then gets out of the way and opens the safe with his chain.

The flamethrower shoots a wave of fire and incinerates the clones. They all burn to ash and don’t regenerate.

Zeth nods with satisfaction. “I’d say that this is a good plan.”

The main clown doll charges at Zeth but he jumps over it and kicks it into the fire as he comes back down.

“Burn!”

He watches as the clown doll burns.

“It looks like you can't take the heat!”

Soon, he closes the safe with his chain. The burning reveals the doll’s core and there is a heart made out of magic energy in it.

“A magic heart? This is probably how it regenerates.”

He grabs the heart and crushes it in his hand, and what remains of the doll falls into pieces and turns to ash.

“Now to check the fourth room of this hallway and finally get out of here. Hang on Sasha!”

Zeth has figured out how to defeat the clown doll and is ready to move on and find Sasha!
