Recent Events Summary:

Abigail's entrance into the Archonium was sudden, and not what you expected. She lost herself somewhere within the enchanted gateway, stuck between bits of her personality given life and pitted against one another. With no other recourse, you dived in after her.

The archonium transported you to the deep recesses of your own mind. You met with the elf queen, Ellendra Kalladar, your Humanity, and your Temerity. Queen Kalladar informed you that you were, in fact, Erebus. She split you before you could fully recover in order to give you what she termed a "choice", and informed you that the elements were an illusion. Fundamentally, there is only Order, and Chaos.

Your Humanity is something new that has coalesced inside you over time, thanks to the opportunity she granted you. Ultimately, you joined forces with it to defeat and reign in your Temerity, who has grudgingly accepted your dominance.

You managed to escape your own visions, and Humanity directed you to Abigail's location within the vast dark of the Archonium that lies between the gateways. Within her vision, 11 long years have passed. In a strange world in which she was the only source of magic, she united warring clans of monsters and beasts and ruled over them as empress. However, after forming that empire, her personality split in three, and have since been locked in an uneasy stalemate.

You met the Abigail that still sits on the throne of the Empire. She is ambitious, effective, ruthless, and disturbingly in awe of you. She sees you as the long-awaited anchor to help her defeat the other two sides of herself and escape back to the real world.

After confronting her on subject of her other sides, you were barely able talk her down, and fled to find the third Abigail. You did, and she has agreed to return with you to face her other self.

The two Abigails faced off, and the battle was enough to shake the palace. You held back Abigail's fear so that they could fight on even ground, but a new threat showed up - the Banshee, Abigail's third and final portion. Just when it seemed she might be warping you into helplessness, your Temerity arose and turned the tables.

The united halves of the Empress and the Knight arrived soon after, but not before the Banshee could escape. You and Abigail tracked her to her lair in the wastes, and now Abigail battles her for dominance while you hold the line against the Banshee's numerous minions.

>Last time...

Concerned with facing the giant shadow golem directly, you dived into the maze to pick off the flesh golems before they could flank you. You took out one, but a second attacked you from behind. You didn't plan on being away too long.

You dodge the golem carefully, predicting its movements from the way its ugly, fleshy body coils, and wait for an opening to make your escape.

It rears back for a big strike, then throws its fist forward, leading with all its weight. It's a powerful blow, but you quickly duck out of the way.

It slams into a spiked stalagmite just behind you. The rock punctures it through the stomach. Guts spill out onto the ground around it. It weakly tosses its limbs in an attempt to scrape free, but now that weight is working against it.

Who could resist such an easy meal? You consume the golem in record time, and it's helpless to resist. It's quick work...very quick work. Hunger is feeling attended to.

>you gain 3 EXP (34)
>you gain 3 HP (77/81)

With that out of the way, you fly up and soar toward the doorway. You're not a moment too soon - a gout of fire roars through the thin passages back on the ground! You see the fire dragon's head poke out of the stone maze and eye you angrily as you make your escape.

You land back at the door, and focus your magic back into the earth. It hardens once again. You can hear angered roars of frustration.

>mana: 23/48

And then, you see more fire. A lot of fire. The rock turns to molten slag as the stream of blue-white fire continues unabated. The fire dragon is melting it's way through by force!

The cry of the last flesh golem cuts the air. You swivel to face it as it charges at you. Lumbering behind is the mighty Shadow Golem - but it's heading for the door. With their numbers depleted, they're finally trying to break straight through to Abigail in earnest.

>1 mana from regen (24/48)

You've got priorities - Abigail can't afford distractions. You pour your magic into earthforge.

The ground above and below the door trembles, warps, and then moves. A stalagmite from the floor and a stalactite from the ceiling shoot out, slam into one another, and then merge. The door is sealed behind a thick wall of rock.

The Shadow Golem slams into it. Chips of stone crumble away, but it holds.

The flesh golem is on top of you, but you already accounted its single-mindness. A small nub of rock, the tail end of your earthforge, juts up next to its foot. It trips, and its moment sends it flying toward you. You whip by its flank, slicing through its shoulder.

The golem hits the ground hard, rolls, and manages to climb back up quickly, but its right arm is cut deep enough to be useless. It ignores the wound and starts to run back toward you

The temperature of the room is rising rapidly. There's nowhere much for the heat to go, and the dragons haven't let up a bit. It'll only be a little while longer until they're knocking on your doorstep.

What do you do?

>mana (21/48) from regen

The flesh golem is rushing you again. The giant shadow golem is beating down the barrier you made to protect Abigail. Two dragons are almost on top of you, and they're bringing white-blue fire with them.

You need more power, and you need it now.

You grasp the untapped energy stored inside of you and push it into your body. You can feel something grow inside of you...a tap that wants to be opened.

You open it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbLQhzsJG0A

The flesh golem reaches you.

You don't really see it. It's just movement. A mass of eyes and limbs and bone. You break it. You take the pieces and crush them, rip them, and scatter them. When all that is left is a tiny quivering core, you take that and tear it apart until the only thing left is scraps and a black, bloody ooze.

A sound takes your mind off the task. A shadow, beating the wall. It annoys you. You rush forward.

Your arms meet only air. The golem is suddenly -not- where it was before. This frustrates you.

You turn and attack it. You strike again, and again, but you pass through it. It seems to -lessen- itself, and then -unlessen- itself, as if warping the part you'd touch to some place you can't reach.

You decide you just need to hit it faster, and faster. You grow an extra limb, and then another, and another. It can't -lessen- itself fast enough, or long enough. One limb passes through, but your second smashes into it. It feels like marble - marble that crumbles.

Once it's hurt, its pathetic little tactic stops working as well. You annihilate it with the sadistic joy of kicking down a sandcastle.

Fire burns you. White hot. Blue, white. It licks around you, searing your skin.

You ignore it, and turn your gaze to face the source of the flames. A giant lizard. The flames leap at you from its maw.

>con't

You don't like the fire.

You ignore the pain leap straight into the dragon's open mouth. It cuts the fire and tries to snap its jaws shut. You feel no need to stop something that isn't in your way, and simply contort to fit the space between its teeth.

The fire came from two separate bits of flesh at the entrance to the dragon's throat. They expelled something, which then made fire when they met.

The tongue is in the way. You rip it out. You hear an ugly shriek echoing up the throat, and the jaws open again as blood spurts everywhere. That is annoying.

You rip the two glands off the throat of the monster, and then punch an exit through the roof of its mouth. You leap out.

The gaseous fluids, uncontrolled, explode within the dragon's maw. Fire and blood pours from the hole you ripped in its skull. It writhes in pain, shrieking again and again, and withdraws deeper into the cave.

>you've taken 19 damage (58/81)

--------
--------

You blink.

What just happened? The flesh golem is just gone - you note a bloody stain on the floor, but there's no sign of it. The shadow golem is just as vanished.

The fire dragon is letting loose like you can't believe. It's slamming its neck and body against the cave wall. Smoke is seeping from between its teeth.

A crackling surge of spirit magic roils around you!

HAHA TIME TO DODGE

You leap to the side. The spirit magic bounces and whips after it hits the ground, lashing at you as you make your escape. The blow stings, but you evaded the worst of it.

>HP: you've taken 4 damage (54/81)

While you were busy, the spirit dragon went to work on your earthen wall. It's almost completely gone - just a bit further and the dragon can fit. When it realizes you're still in one piece, it rears its head back for another blast of spirit energy.

>>26491226

Follow up with a Gaping Maw.

RIP AND TEAR

>>26491264
Fuck no. That dragon almost got through our defenses from before and he's the only able bodied opponent left.

>>26491226
How about we punch it in the taint

>>26491226
Blink and Gaping Maw

>>26491226

Blink and attack right him behind his head. He cant reach you there.

The energy blast roils forward. Orange light fills the cave as tangles and sparks of spirit magic rumble toward you.

You Blink behind the dragon's head and unleash a flurry of limbs, sharpened like the points of spears. You crush the scales at the back of its neck, but its natural armor is strong enough to stop you penetrating too deeply.

Still, it's a solid blow. The dragon roars in pain. Its neck bends, and it snaps a few times in your direction, but you're already gone, flying circles around its head.

More magic is building in its throat as it eyes you, carefully. A raised claw warns you of an impending swipe, and its tail swishes dangerously.

What do you do?

>>26491575

He is a big guy, lots of stuff to consume after blowing his face off.

>>26491575
It's a spirit dragon that means it'll be resistant to Shadow Magic attacks so we should use a stronger attack

mana: 19/48

You grab a fistfull of mana and concentrate it into a point in front of you...

The dragon's breath glows brighter...

You cast at the same time!

Your shadow beam pierces the spirit energy and strikes the dragon in its right eye! It roars, and rears away -

The spirit energy hits you full on! Luckily, the dragon cut off its own attack when you hit its eye, and you're able to weather the storm without too much damage.

>you've taken 3 damage (55/81)

The dragon steps back rapidly, trying to keep its balance. It holds a claw to its face and makes a more whimpered roar, but it's not dead yet.

The fire dragon is still raging...it sounds like a miniature earthquake over there. Apparently it won't be interfering any time soon after the damage it sustained.

What do you do?
