Meanwhile, outside the mall, Sasuga and Seif was almost arriving there, but as they nearly reached the mall area, they saw some police cars driving away from it and passing them.

"The police? I wonder what happened," Sasuga said in wonder, finding it peculiar that that many cars are driving away from the mall at the same time.

"Something isn't right," Seif stated, having a bad feeling about this. It made him even more concerned when he got near the mall's main entrance and found it completely empty. Not anyone coming in or out of it, which was unnatural for any mall at this hour of the day. "Something is definitely not right."

"You think something has happened to..." Sasuga was saying when Seif suddenly cut her off.

"Hang on!" Seif shouted and swung the steering wheel tightly to the left, making the car do a sudden and abrupt drift to the left, quickly avoiding an incoming chained iron ball that was flying at their direction and smashing the ground instead, as the tires screeched loudly and startled Sasuga greatly.

"Oh God, what's going on!?" Sasuga gasped, her heart still beating fast.

"Be careful, someone dangerous is out there," Seif said as he got out of his SUV and made sure he brought out his two-handed sword out of its secret compartment. Sasuga realized it was something serious and got out of the car as well, being very cautious. They saw the steel ball that crushed the road as it was being pulled away by a long iron chain, eventually witnessing the one who threw it.

"Sorry about that. Did I frighten you? I was trying to kill you," Tusk the boar spoke with a snicker, holding his chained iron ball over his sturdy shoulder and standing in front of the mall's main entrance.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Seif immediately confronted the thick-bodied boar.

"You can call me Tusk, the Tongue of Abaddon. I'm here to stop you from getting in our way," Tusk replied, swinging his iron ball by its chain like a toy.

"Oh no... Seif, look," Sasuga uttered in horror as she pointed near Tusk, as some dismembered body parts laid around him, some of them ever missing. They appeared to be security guards, from what left of them.

"Oh, those guys? They also tried to get in the way, so I took care of them. I was getting hungry too, so I helped myself," the boar revealed casually, patting his hard and round belly.

"You... you ate them?" Sasuga gaped in disbelief.

"Didn't you hear me, lady? I'm the Tongue of Abaddon, I eat anything. It's my thing," Tusk snorted, slurping his chops.

"That's terrible... you sick monster!" Sasuga crossly retorted.

"Hoh! Tell me something I don't know! I would've eaten those cops too, but Jale butted in and told them to go back home, that killjoy," Tusk stated with a light laughter.

"What are you trying to do in there?" Seif asked him directly.

"Hrmm, I think they wannna sacrifice the people in this mall here. My lil bro is taking care of things inside," Tusk answered, scraping one of his tusks.

"Our friends are in there! Let us through!" Sasuga demanded boldly.

"No can do, lady. I'm here to prevent any kind of outside interruption, and that includes you!" Tusk replied and then hurled his iron ball at them. Seif stood before the incoming attack and used his broad sword to block it, as it bounced back at the boar. "Oh ho, not bad. I guess this will be a fun game. Are you ready to play?" Tusk grinned and huffed through his nostrils, getting serious.

"Watch out. He's more dangerous than he looks," Seif warned the kirin as he stood before protectively.

"A-Alright," Sasuga nodded and prepared herself for battle too.

Inside the mall, at its center, Panja and Rinami were doing their best to fight off the demons horde that were trying to attack the hypnotized people under Jale's curse power, but it was getting more difficult as time went by, as more monsters kept appearing and overwhelming the two.

"Damn hell!" Panja cursed as he threw some icy spikes at two demonic slugs, freezing them on their tracks before they reached a crowd of people at one end. He didn't see the hellhound that was leaping at him from the back, but luckily Rinami's shuriken knives came to the rescue and dropped it dead before any harm became of the white lion. "Whoa! Thanks, sweetheart!" the white lion gave her a thumbs-up.

"Not now, Panja! There's one over there!" Rinami shouted back at him as she brought his attention to another demon about to munch on some child a few feet away.

"Crap! The hell you will!" Panja quickly placed a palm of his on the ground and a trail of ice zapped through the floor directly towards the monster, freezing it whole as an icy statue, before jumped up and then drop-kicked it, crushing it to smithereens.

"I don't think we'll be able to keep this up for too long... they keep coming!" Rinami said in despair as she saw that their struggle is dwindling as more demons showed up to replace the ones they dispatched back to where they came from.

"Shit, I gotta do something!" Panja grumbled in aggravation as the situation was turning grim. At this rate, they would be some heavy casualties and he didn't plan to let anyone else down again. A quick thought than flashed inside Panja's head and he decided to take it to action. "Rina! Clear that side and then get out of the way!"

"What?" Rinami replied after she kicked winged monster's head off.

"Just stay away from the circle of people! Trust me!" Panja yelled back. Rinami wasn't sure what the white lion was planning to do, but she did trust him and stepped away from the range of people after getting rid of some demons with her blade.

"Okay then, let's do this!" When Panja saw that the time was right and the coast was clear, he clapped his palms together and then slammed them on the ground. With his skillful arctic art, Panja's icy powers encircled the edge of the crowd of people and engulfed them in a half globe, creating a protective dome of solid ice that kept them all inside of it.

"Oh wow..." Rinami's eyes twinkled in both of amazement and the sparkling gleam of the huge icy dome Panja impressively made as she stared at it from a safe distance. "Panja, you're so amazing!" the vixen delightedly exclaimed.

"Heh heh, thanks, baby. Nothing to it," Panja proudly stated, dusting off his hands as he admired his work for a moment, seeing some demons trying to break through the wall of ice but was too rock-hard, successfully keeping them away from the innocent people. "Right on. Now with that over with, we can destroy these ugly monsters with our hearts content!" Panja said readily as he and Rinami faced the demons and were ready to exterminate them at leisure, without having to worry about the crowd's safety.

Outside the mall, another battle was about to start, as each side was sizing the other's strength. Seif noticed that Tusk was rather heavy and bulky, with that hefty roundish gut and short height, but he didn't underestimate him based on his looks. That weapon he was carrying, the chained iron ball attached to a steel handle, was something he hadn't seen in a long time and always posed as a formidable (if hard to master) weapon because its range made it extremely difficult for opponents to approach the wielder. If Seif wanted to take him down, he needed to get in close for a quick and devastating attack.

"If you're too shy to make the first move, then allow me!" Tusk grunted as he hurled his chained iron ball at both of Seif and Sasuga. Seif grabbed the kirin in one arm and rolled over to the side out of the incoming attack. Tusk wasn't finished though, as he swing the chain to the side in the middle of the toss and redirected the ball at Seif. Acting quickly, Seif raised his broad sword and guarded himself against the iron back as it hit the body of the blade and deflected it.

"Are you all right?" Seif asked Sasuga as he held her closely to the side of his chest.

"Ye-Yes, I'm fine," Sasuga mumbled back. She didn't want to be a liability to Seif, though, and wanted to fight too. "Let me try," she said as she stepped away from Seif and aimed her right hand at Tusk, charging a lightning bolt.

"Oh ho, lay it on me," Tusk smirked, oddly not planning to dodge or guard against the kirin electrical attack. Sasuga didn't care and just shot a shining charge of electricity from her palm that shot directly at the immobile boar. Being a large and wide still target, she couldn't miss him even if she wanted to, as it was about to hit him directly on his face, but before it did, Tusk opened his maw wide and let the lightning bolt enter his mouth, actually eating it like it was nothing.

"Wh-What? No way... He... ate it," Sasuga uttered in disbelief. Her attack went through Tusk's mouth without harming him one bit. Even Seif couldn't believe his eyes at first. What kind of cursed mouth would be able to withstand such high voltage of electricity and enjoy it to boot?

"Oouhh boy, that tasted good. Sizzling, kinda like pop rocks candy!" Tusk snorted in delight, rubbing his firm round gut. "When I said I eat anything, I meant it. So sorry to break it to you, lady, but your zappy powers won't work on me. How's that for shocking?" the boar sniggered, putting the kirin's fortitude down.

"Shut up!" Sasuga retorted and shot a couple of more red lightning bolts at the Tusk, but they got eaten by the insatiable boar just like before. She didn't even aim at his face, but the moment he opened his big muzzle they head directly into his mouth and inhaled them, as if it was a lightning rod.

"Mmmm, you keep 'em coming, and I'll keep eating 'em," Tusk snorted again, as he rendered Sasuga's attacks useless. Just when she began to think she would be of some good use, this enemy showed up and made her feel powerless. "Hold on, I think I got something stuck in my teeth. Lemme get it out," Tusk then mentioned and seemed like he was picking something inside his mouth with his tongue. He suddenly then spit out a chunk of his own saliva that shot out of his muzzle like a speeding bullet, heading directly at the unsuspecting kirin. Seif quickly came to her aid and placed his large frame in front of her, lifting his arm protectively as the spit hit him instead.

"Seif!" Sasuga gasped, but Seif was even more stunned to see the fabric of his suit on his arm was dissolving. The spit was melting it away like a scorching acid reaction, as Seif instantly took off his suit before it reached his skin, slightly blistering his forearm. That was unpredictably dangerous; Sasuga didn't want to imagine what would've happened to her face if the searing acid-like saliva hit her.

"Pardon me, didn't mean to ruin your fancy suit," Tusk sniggered, starting to really agitate Sasuga.

The kirin placed her left hand on Seif's scorched wound on his arm and treated it with her blue spark, healing it easily. "I'm sorry," she apologized for getting the lion hurt protecting her.

"Don't think about it," Seif simply replied, smiling back as thanks for the heal-up. "Listen, here's what we're going to do. I'll keep him busy and you'll go in and help the others," the lion then told her his plan, but Sasuga didn't want to leave him alone with this freak.

"No, Seif! I can't leave you fighting him by yourself! What if..." Sasuga tried to protest, but Seif didn't let her.

"We're running out of time. They need you there more. I'll handle him, trust me," Seif said in his assuring deep voice that prevented the kirin to argue with him any further. She wouldn't be as much help here, anyway, with her electric powers being useless against this lightning-munching boar.

"Alright. I trust you." Sasuga gave in and nodded. They got interrupted by Tusk's iron ball being hurled at them, which Seif blocked with his broad sword.

"C'mon already. Are we doing this or not? I ain't got all day," Tusk remarked, yawning.

"Okay, get ready to move in," Seif instructed Sasuga and she stood by. The lion stared directly at Tusk and gave him a daring look. "If you're hungry for more, eat this," Seif said and lifted his hand, aiming his palm at the boar and then closed it to a fist in a quick motion, a weft of flames pushing through of his fingers. Before Tusk realized what he did, a sudden fiery explosion blew up right at his face from out of the blue, taking him completely off guard and hurting him badly.

"AUUURRGHH!! What the FUCK!? My face!!" Tusk screamed in agony as he staggered about and started to bat his hands frantically on his face to put out the burns.

"Now!" Seif gave Sasuga the green light and she didn't waste time, running over as fast as her legs could carry her and passing Tusk as he was too busy bawling in pain and covering his face with his hands to stop her, only noticing her bolting in the mall at the last second after he finally recovered.

"Argh! You scoundrel bitches! You'll pay for this!" Tusk growled, glaring angrily at Seif with the tip of one of his thick eyebrows still lit on fire, quickly putting it out after he noticed it. But before he could even retaliate, Tusk felt a hot sensation surrounding him from bellow, and then saw that Seif had a hand of his placed on the ground. He finally put the two together and panicked, moving his hooves out of the way, but he wasn't fast enough and the ground he was standing on erupted in a explosive flames and blew him away, flying to the side and crashing into a parked car in the parking lot.

"Ouugh... What the hell..." Tusk groaned, shaking his winded head after that unanticipated attack and getting his ass off the wrecked car, only to find the lion a feet in front of him and read to swing his large and thick sword down at him to cut him in two. "Oh shit!" Tusk quickly reacted and guarded himself with his steel chains, stopping the blade before it slashed him and pushing it away as they both were power-struggling against each other. Seif was gaining the upper hand though and his sword was inching down on Tusk's sweaty face, but the boar wasn't about to let end this soon and in an unexpected move, a scythe blade sprung out from the end of his chained ball's steel handle and swung it at Seif's torso, forcing the lion to back off instantly to avoid being slashed. Seif barely dodged it, a sharp cut appearing across tanktop shirt, and even on his abs, bleeding slightly.

"Heh heh heh, surprised you, huh?" Tusk snickered, spinning the chained iron ball in one hand and holding the scythed handle in the other, doubling the threat of his weapon. Tusk then spewed out two fast acid-spits from his maw at Seif, as the lion grimaced and immediately lifted up his glowing hand, creating enough burning heat to vaporize the saliva to nothingness before they two shots reached him. "Oh ho, impressive! I gotta hand it to you, Seif. You're one tough cookie. But, I'm gonna enjoy eating you," Tusk grinned as he licked his muzzle, as Seif tried to stay composed and strong, despite actually getting worried. He had a feeling this fight was only going to get harder.
