14th day of prophecy. 04:15 pm, defending the activation stone acting as the mainframe for the golem army.

‘’Shit…’’

The first one to talk over the voice of the angels is the little demon-goat squatting close to the ground, taking a fistful of ash and letting it slide through her open palm, barely lifting an eye as her vibrating scythe; always highlighted by this peculiar purple aura, dance around her in circle thank to the berth given by everyone else; Hadraniel start hovering in the air, a few inches above the sandy ground as her head stay unmoving at the sky; clear murderous intent ooze from the soul link and it take a fair amount of willpower to avoid walking and grasping her waist to bring back the sweet, adorable, loving girl you’ve had the chance to see for a much too short a time. Athena, Sylphis and Mylen… the three of them are facing the encroaching squad with weapons drawn while beside out, close enough to touch the vibrating stone, the Queen-Mother has taken the second scroll given to her by Bletsia while munching on her index, drawing blood as her blond fluffy tails fuzz up even more, encompassing nearly twice as much proportion while her ears lay flat on her head, dribble of dark liquid sporadically ran down her nostrils, coloring her lisps in dark matter that didn’t last long enough to enter her mouth; still a grim telltale of the tolls heroes summoning has on her body, scrolls or not.

‘’Siegfried’’

You almost jump as someone shake your shoulder; the only voice you don’t recognise speak your name in a low, low tone, and the bony staff of the shaman plop into view before the maiden herself, the elven Hero gift you with a much gentler smile and expression compared to her previous stares full of animosity (an attitude likely to be shared by all them), pure raw power burst within her, the color of her veins have taken a strangely translucid, nearly transparent nature empty of fluids. The magic around her body hover like an ethereal blanket, the eyes of the staffs alight with twin orbs of crackling, concentrated electricity the same colors is spreading around her light clothes, even the very tips of her pointed ears shine with the focal points of bursting magic.

‘’What are you…’’

You trail off as Leila sword regain vitality, the Purifier has joined the momentary frontline and seem quite flabbergasted at the sudden vitality of the magical weapon, once more a pair of powdery white wings emerge from the middle of the sword, yet the blond shake her head vigorously as her entre body tremble, sweat pouring down her pale face as she tries her best to regulate her breathing, a display that doesn’t escape Tsukiyomi sharp gaze; something is going on that’s for sure and it all become as clear as day when you your eyes hover idly around the brown-skinned shoulder of Vasuki Uruloki.

A small and brilliant, golden butterfly.

For a moment your mind reject this reality, utter astonishment push your entire being to reach for any kind of solution as to this possibility; no tales or account even mention the existence of Mother Earth, much less old tales of an all-mighty god interacting with the thirteen heroes of yonder, the fact that your mother doesn’t have a physical body anymore bring her capacity to act into the world very, very difficult to boot, you’ve suspected that the only way she’s been able to so readily talk with you in the past days was because you share her blood; after all Tsukiyomi had to call her out in a peculiar cave.

Then how…?

It has to do with the summoned heroes; you’ve long suspected that they find themselves in a somewhat similar situation compared to the goddess with the prime difference of being able to act upon the world, the heroes come from Tsukiyomi but willingly allow her to cause the crossing or ‘’anomaly’’ that is a soul being summoned without a body while still perfectly able to strike down foes and impose their will upon the world like the old days at the cost of being rejected in less than a day. In a sense, both entities are strikingly similar, but where do they take their prodigious powers from…?

Your sense and impression of the world itself feel strangely slow and dull, the movements of the girls grow nearly inexistent, Tsukiyomi-no-Mikoto usual insanely sharp flare doesn’t realize the entity resting upon the heroic soul, the song of the angel is dying down into nothing and the faraway constant «crush» of the encroashing magitek armors ceased to be as you looked into the warm eyes of Vasuki that haven’t changed color one bit, still brilliantly shining in red and fused with her personality despite this… this invasion of her mind?

Slowly, the shaman put her hand on the large stone pillar cut right in the middle, it’s many symbols light in blue by unknown alchemical phenomenon, the insect on her shoulder suddenly spring its wings and depart in the sky before you can move or even interject a word.

‘’I knew there was something odd about you.’’

A small laugh escape the tall elf as she turn to face you, her bright red eyes shine with brilliant emotions as the world restart its course slowly, as if the very time itself was stuck moving through slime, only you and the Hero able to exchange words.

‘’She told me that you cannot fight and save this one at the same time’’

Her palm gently tap the pillar, then hover back to hold her crackling staff bursting with energy; you almost grab her arm to force her to stop but you withhold, instead working to explore the unknown of the Soul Link as well as taking security measure to contain the Beast if need be…. And you quickly realize that the creature has retreated deep, deep into the depth of your unreachable soul, your only hint being constant thumping near organic shockwaves spreading all the way to your head; Emeth emotions are… hard to describe and a part of you is scared of investigating a little too much, for fear of being drawn in.

You’ve already disobeyed your mother in the past and haven’t been any worse for wear; nay in fact you’ve followed your own path and kept your head high despite the few… complications. Trying to understand what’s going on with Emeth is an impossible luxury with the coming conflicts, it’s obvious you’ll have to concentrate on one event for fear of getting killed. Clouds of unease shroud your mind while the otherwise gorgeous darkening sky is also splotched with ever growing darkish-gray nebulous phenomenon, not quite like true clouds given their magical nature, but enough to fool the eyes.

One or two hours before it rain…

You have an important decision to make.

>>29607316
>Find what’s wrong with Emeth
I really don't want to just leave it up to the girls around us, because they could really use our help.
But Emeth is also in danger, and without her, the golem army won't activate.
The faster we get Emeth sorted out, the faster the golems will be online and able to help.

>>29607511
Wait. If the golems activate, they WILL be able to get us out of this, right?
They're not just going to be grunt footsoldiers that will only be speed bumps to the angels fighting us.

>>29607671

Golems were made to counter corruption infestations but they are also insanely disciplined and organised (as one can expect of a near hivemind). They're the real deal for sure, but as to how (or if) they'll save your ass the instant they get activated... well that's a probable no.

Her emotions are scrambled and impossible to read and predict, as the anchor of a set of five soul links you’ve had to adapt very quickly to the intense range of feelings coming from open conflict, from sanguine glee to rage or fear at a momentary slip up, all of it lasting the time of a blinking eye, these distractions were as much a saving grace as a burden and here, the information flowing from Emeth is completely and utterly irregular.

You barely catch anything identifiable, she jump from joy, sorrow, anger, amusement, even lust almost all at once, forming a ball of concentrated, induced, perhaps even drug-like ‘’emotions’’ manifested in never ending letters, somehow pure raw information escape the filter making you wonder... is Emeth asking for help? Or is she merely obeying some kind of instinct of preservation? Activating a thousand individuals – even if artificial- was never meant to be an easy task but Tsukiyomi wouldn’t put her through torture without hope of success…right?

A potent surge of vertigo assail your brain, thankfully the reinforcements of Focus are more than enough to keep you from faltering and appearing weak or distraught in fact of the oncoming onslaught.

Tsukiyomi has already started a peculiar summoning ritual while the girls… as much as you want, you can’t bother to look at them, the grim resolution and acceptance of death is locked in their eyes at the ever approaching enemy. Five magiteks armors make for a loud, but slow progression in the forest and ten chanting angels, who just now finally decide to spread from their little circle, all but reinforce this near hopeless moment, you know very well that Hadraniel will take off to the sky despite any objections, her intentions are as clear as they could ever be.

It’s as if you’ve stepped right into a trap.

‘’Leila!’’

You suddenly scream, making the mentioned girl jump and turn at you in anger, but her protest dies in her throat as you take you the teleportation scroll, the item between your fingers already burns as you forcefully canalise its property thank to Tsukiyomi crash course, the letters burns bright, settling into the world and causing a tear as you take several long step back, the runes forming the sentence «Come in» crackles and sizzle before breaking the horizon like glass, and then the oversized machine scramble in in a loud charge, landing and bracing on the ground ashen ground in a loud boom, raising a temporary gust of dust that almost send Tsu in a coughing fit and you take the time to stroke her fluffy tail one last time before combat, to which she smile as her scroll shine in red-orange color, ready to burn.

The sudden presence of the half-activated magitek armor doesn’t go unnoticed, the slow pace of the church squad increase in earnest while Hadraniel fly high above the group, you can only whisper a «don’t die» at her chivalric form, your words are answered by a smile sweet enough to make you forget the battlefield.

‘’Use Arnvidur, I won’t be able to join you guys’’

Before anyone can protest (the old dwarf was quite loud in his grunt) you snap your jaw shut and touch the middle of shining stone, a spiral indentation big enough to fit your entire hand…. And your world change.

Keeping it was the best option because it increased her combat potential by a rather wide margin as well as constructing an integral part of the loop, it also prevented a literal schism in the group as Ame and Sylphis would ahve been beyond pissed with you and fight you if they must.

Al lin all, the only negative was a ticking time bomb that can be somewhat countered by her willpower in exchange for quite alot of gains.

>>29609264
>Ame and Sylphis would ahve been beyond pissed with you
So... They would have got pissed that we decided to take the harsher route that would help guarantee Athena wouldn't turn into a corrupted monster? I think my opinion of them dropped a notch or two.

>>29609264
>Ame and Sylphis would ahve been beyond pissed
It's just chopping off an arm, hell she already had routine in it.

It's more like they would have taken some serious issues with you deciding something very, very important for Athena.

Nobody was keeping a clear head (not even Siegfried) in the swamp thank to all the fuckery, too so it was just a nasty cocktail brought on by bad circumstances. .

>>29609398
Admittedly, mutilating one of your companions isn't exactly nice no matter the circumstances. Additionally they likely believed that she could tough it out and not succumb to any undesirable effects it may have on her.
Also the shock and blood loss might have just outright killed her.

>>29609455
>no lace on the tail
2/10 would not marry

>>29609544
If they believed she could endure old corruption, they're smoking something. Letting your companion have a source of old corruption become permanently apart of their body isn't very nice either.

>>29609642
>If they believed she could endure old corruption, they're smoking something.
What is clinging to every feeble hope when a close companions life is on the line?

>>29609705
If a feasible solution that could solve the entire issue wasn't present, you might have a point. But that's like refusing a potentially dangerous surgery for something that will kill you because you believe you can beat the underlying problem through willpower.

>>29609773

If surgery means brutally chopping off a limb, we have a different meaning of the word.

>>29609773
>But that's like refusing a potentially dangerous surgery for something that will kill you because you believe you can beat the underlying problem through willpower.
And yet people actually do that. Also funny that you mention dangerous surgery since the other solution would have been amputating a limb without the relevant tools and knowledge to ensure she'd survive.

>>29609881
For a medieval type of setting it can count. It's not like it wasn't done in real life in the past. Add on the fact magic exists in this setting that can assist in the healing? It's not as drastically bad as it would be in real life and has the added benefit of not making her arm corrupted.

A potent seen of loss and discomfort assail you like a punch; next thing you know the young man who just called in an impossibly tall construct crumble pitifully on the ground after resting his palm upon the clear, brightly colored symbol, it’s as if his entire body lost the strings supporting it, if it weren’t for the fast movement of the tails of your liege, he’d have smacked his head painfully on the rock.

‘’Always… always does that’’

Your mutter under your breath, irritated by the uneasy feeling and scare brought by the sudden absence of consciousness from the link, all emotions evaporated from his body in a way that isn’t quite similar to the dulling of distances, but as of now there’s no time to waste on pointless gripe and emotional outburst over his wellbeing; if there were anything to worry about the angel would be all over him anyhow.

‘’We’ll have to fight without him!’’

You speak up as your feet nearly slide on the ashen ground, your human arm come out of your rain cloak and you fiddle with the knot on your neck to throw it all away, allowing your demonic limb to be seen by everyone, friend and foe alike, sending an inevitable wave of dread throughout your entire body as the wicked claws gleam unnaturally while wet patches of oil color the ground in a darker black, but your attention is focused on the large... golem?

‘’Can you activate it, Madame?’’

You ask the Purifier who’s looking at the machine with big, wide green eyes, hairs clinging to her sweaty face as she take a few steps closer while clutching her sword, the half-activated machine look down in her direction, letting out a blow of magical…smoke in a loud ‘’Pssh’’.

‘’Well I…’’

She swallows awkwardly as she activates Focus, bright white veins bulging out of an otherwise pretty face.

‘’I’ll… probably Overcast afterward’’

You can’t help a grimace at this statement; you’ve seen what happened first hand to a mage suffering this condition and it isn’t pretty at all, for a moment you remember that event a few weeks ago, Siegfried writhing on the ground barely able to keep his consciousness as the inside of his body boiled while his veins and nerves seemingly scalding his very skin…

‘’…I think we’ll be needing you’’

You simply say, turning your back and walking toward the frontline, momentarily crossing eyes with Mylen whose grimacing toward her lover, now safely within range of Tsukiyomi who has, by now, finished fiddling with the scroll, but has yet to suffer her coughing fit and raise in corruption.

Then a loud, potent hollow ‘’boom’’ resonate behind you, the wind burst that follow is a telltale sign of an angelic flight, you don’t even bother to look back as the ash raise in cloud around the feeble line of females soldiers, next you hear the sound of broken glasses while Tsukiyomi cough painfully, audibly vomiting patches of wet, chunky liquid that force a grimace out of you.

‘’So, are we ready?’’

You finally ask the little troupe consisting of a demonic goat, a bygone heroic elf, a mantis best friend and a rather worried succubus who finally settles down to look at the church who, by now, had started deploying; a line of trees come crashing down as the twenty some Inquisitors deploy away from the mechs in a dispersed formation.

‘’Sylphis, Mylen… the infantry should be taken care of by the two of you’’

As you look back, you witness the Purifier climbing atop the grumbling golem, the emotionless face of the machine keep grinding its jaw while a tear in reality bring about a large, colored armored limb bringing back déjà and bad memories of a certain swamp, still a second heroes isn’t going to hurt even if your liege is worse and worse for wear; the booming steps of the machines come in increasingly loud echo despite the ash and you feel the surge of drugs from the arms tighten your concentration, increase your heartbeat as each of the machine and the wielder come into view…

Two of them are holy.

One of them is ice.

One is fire

The last one seem to be protected in some sort of non-colored, nearly transparent bubble and the pilot looks quite young, barely out of his teenage year for certain while garbed in personal clothes and weapons, just like the one in ice who give the impression of being a mage unrelated to the Church.

A long breath exit your mouth as the encroaching booms send flutter of stress throughout your body, the pure raw intimidation of the inhuman machines works wonder to project awe and murderous intent in equal measure, you can’t help but feel constant Goosebumps very different from the corruption of your arm that, has, by now, started pumping, filling your body with small amount of corruption, giving you a sense of strength and glee very much akin to drugs while your wrist flick slightly, opening your palms for the wicked claws to drag aground.

‘’We strike as one and hold them back, that’ll be enough time for our late hero and machine to come help us out’’

‘’Simple’’

The remark come of the she-goat, you know her time only from scrolls and books but you never pictured the supposed a supposed leader of the Sabbath fighting with you side by side, her claw went back in her (admittedly) impractical fluffy hand, the constant humming of the vibrating metal was nothing but a constant whisper in the background.

‘’But I like it, I always wanted to see if my masterpiece could cut into them’’

Her sharp teeth close in a snap as the magical crackling of the shaman resonate to your flanks, the brown skinned elf look as if her very soul is exiting her body, constant crackles of pure, raw energy filtered into electricity seem to electrocute the very air as membranes of purplish power appear and disappear at once, all this while constant booms and breaking glasses tell of Orion summoning, the paladin emerging in one swoop after some effort to create a hole big enough for his presence.

‘’Here it comes!’’

You don’t’ have time to investigate Leila, the mechs have lined up at the edges of the burning forest, Sylphis and Mylen having dispersed to pursue and fight with the infantry trying to flank your position and Tsukiyomi.

The little demon suddenly jump left as a ball of flames around as big as you are was thrown in your direction, a solid sphere of red hot goo like substances pierce the distances and the shaman immediately move to intercept while the other 4 charges in synchronised booming steps, kicking up a cloud of ash as you feel – and hear- disgusting squeaks from your arm as it elongate and cut into the air, pumping chemical into your bloodstream and hardening as the back of your big, mutated palm snap right into the middle of the spell, compressing the fire and imploding it as it stand, forcing the glut aground in what look like lava-hot molten iron, nearly engulfing one of the machine while the other three spread out.

This power is so… invigorating!

‘’Ah!’’

That was a good 3 meters long strike and for the time being, your foes were forced to move from this molten spell!

‘’Missing armor!’’

You hiss through the increasingly loud potency of the shaman, not a hint of panic rise with the two of them and you momentarily abandon your position to try and find out where that big bugger could possibly be, snapping your teeth hard enough to snap your jaw audibly as the sizzling of your corrupted arm, accompanied by the smoke and smell of burnt meat, make you madder and madder despite the subsiding pain, your arm run around once more, it’s oversized length rackling on the ashes as your ever clean claws draw wicked lines of death.

‘’Oh no you won’t!’’

The she-goat suddenly jump, twirling her scythe telepathically and cut into another spell, forcing two halves to strike the ground, you try your best to ignore the incredibly loud cracking, a literal scream of pure raw magical might that almost shake the very air as Vasuki unleash her electric, concentrated spell, tendrils of electricity traveling faster than you can see right toward the two Holy magitek, the very air around her seem to combust for the impossible incandescence, SLAMMING right into the foe who were forced to opt for defense, the echo of the spell provoke a shockwave large enough to displace the disappearing lake of lava, but your finally find the missing bugger right as you hear some human screams…
No wonder he missed your notice, he’s fast, much, much faster than any big, awkward machine has any right to be, the entire rocky silhouette of the thing is glowing in strange dull draw as it literally glide on the soil faster than a sprinting, probably as fast as a sprinting centaur, toward Tsukiyomi!

Your liege is defenseless as well, she’s clutching her throat and vomiting more and more corruption, obviously unable to move and you immediately take into a run as Leila try her best to brute force the knowledge of moving one of these damn things, however something remarkable save the life of the foxy queen-mother as the battle behind, around and above intensifies.

The gravity magitek velocity is prodigious, added with its strength its raw ramming power is fearsome to imagine, let alone behold; clouds of ash raise behind its solid, planted fight and its big, big oversized hand curl into a fist and launch toward its prey, a knight in armor barely out of his hole and standing on his feet and meeting the foe twice as large and big with his shield.

A large metallic ‘’Bang’’ resonate as the rocky fist is literally thrown back, momentarily destabilising the entire machine to its left from the throwback force while the coming mace snap right into its attached foot, prompting a vicious sound of breaking rock as the velocity and speed of the machine is forced into a halt as the paladin jump back toward Tsukiyomi to stop a crossbow bolt of one Inquisitor who managed to sneak out of battle.

That’s when Leila stumble into the opposing armor who raise its cracked fist to meet her, obviously more experience the opposing pilot punch Arnvidur right in the middle of its face while Leila grab its hand and try her best to force it aground…

All this while you cut into the distance as fast as you can.

>Take out the Inquisitor to free up Batrion attention.
Batrion, as a Hero, is better equipped to handle a toe-to-toe slugging match with a magitek armor, especially since he has Leila as backup.
The Inquisitor, in comparison, is a squishy infantry that we can take out much faster and easier.

Besides, the armors have that forcefield around their cockpits, and the heartaker probably won't be able to penetrate it, no matter how pumped full of Corruption it is.

You grit your teeth and zip past the fallen machine as fast as you can, the enemy Inquisitor is firing from what appear to be a repeating crossbow; undoubtedly these aren’t the same men you fight earlier today, much more focused, professional and obviously better trained and equipped, his bolts, imbedded with electric runes or fire, fly right into Batrion shield and sometime fire at another place, aiming for Tsukiyomi but the paladin is standing his ground while showing surprising nimbleness, going as far as taking some bolts right in his armor and enduring the ensuing shockwaves.

The sound of battles are almost eerie, the two girls holding the lines are losing ground fast as the explosion and burst of magic, crackling, screams and booming, reverberate toward your position; you can’t spare a glance but it’s obvious a hero and a demon aren’t enough to hold 4 mechs, let alone take any of them out. Leila is struggling against her foes that, by now, started punching her with increased velocity; the constant rocky strikes are akin to crumbling stones foundations while the constant explosion and hollow cracks up in the sky tells you that Hadraniel isn’t exactly flattening the opposition, adding the «Tchak! Tchak! Tchak» of the crossbows and the battles between your sister and Mylen with the infantry, it’s a wonder indeed how anyone can keep themselves alive…

But then as you come within range, the man spot you and drop his weapon for his sword, finally freeing Batrion who charge the armor in earnest, however the pilot has a trick up his sleeve; the corner of your eye catch a bubble forming into his mouth which quickly erupt, bursting with unearthly force, projecting an aura of «gravity» all around it in a sphere, potent enough to send Leila trembling and forced to regain her footing while Batrion stomp his heels on the ground while Tsukiyomi smash her back painfully on the stone.

The Inquisitor for his part activate a holy shield to resist the magic while you, however, aren’t quite so lucky…

The wave slaps your flank, destabilising your stance, forcing you to turn from the share force and squat to avoid a face plant, it felt like getting punched by a tiny, strong ball carrying half of your body with you while the enemy Inquisitor took aim with his sword, taking a half-forward step while bringing the blade in a diagonal slash; you feel your arm mutate as pure raw anger overcome the added chemicals of the corruption, his strike come swift and strong; a man used to fencing without a doubt his eyes shines in bright blue as you maneuver for the blade to strike your shoulder pad, thankfully you were lucky in being fast and precise in your random stumbling and the strike force you to the ground where the Inquisitor take a step forward to run your through, however…

Your arm bends unnaturally, launching toward his mask covered face as you feel your black, mutated shoulder pump out a disgusting juice that travel all the way down your appendage, the blade is slapped by your palm as you force yourself up with your keens and hand, a sickening crunch is heard that is very, very much unlike the cracks of stones from Batrion mace and Leila renewed stomps; you hear an ominous explosion from Vasuki and Belphegor position while your fingers digs into the man face, penetrating the faceplate and cutting right into his throat, severing the carotid artery right as he was about to bring down his knee, a disgusting jet of blood follow and land on you, elated you nearly open your mouth to catch some before stopping midway as his form crumble, still trying his best to harm you despite the wounds and mauled face.

That impulse… it was almost as if Heartaker activated on its own!

‘’WATCH OUT!’’

The she-goat voice break as her scream is nearly trampled, but you look as you get out as two large ball of fiery flames come bowling toward you, the squad of armors has already penetrated your line of defenses and Vasuki was separating, holding three of them on her own as she try her best to lead them toward the dwindling infantry, combining electricity and wind to force them where she want, sweat pouring down her tanned body, while Vasuki somehow manage to slice one arm of the iced armor, but its compatriot seem fond of throwing, as the balls come rolling right toward you, already coming past Leila and Batrion who, too slow, throw his mace into one of the bubble only to miss by a hair; the damages they’ve done to the gravity armor however, seems to have rendered it unable to move but still protected and deadly.

…That’s going to leave a mark.

Her voice speak without rest, her human tone has long changed into something else, something inorganic and nearly fleeting, you stumbled in the dark for a few minutes before the entire world around exploded in letters and lines, columns sending descriptions, information, identifications, jumbled mess as corrupted data filtered out of your mind; the beast in its apparent slumber, almost roused from this near invasion of your soul as the distress of the girl is overwhelming, she’s clinging to the sole link as her sole, only hope of salvation, unable to use logic, unable to make senses, tearing your emotions and feeding on them like a starved dog to keep herself whole as it continues on… and on… and on…unit 800, 851, 900… It flash incessantly, each described individually by her breathless voice as you stumble in this sea of information, mix of magic, alchemy and a soul invaded by surplus; what makes Emeth a growing, independent individual is about to be snuffed out, trampled and you realize that she has transferred every authority onto your stronger soul. Five soul links make for five anchors, add to this your tumultuous, eventful past and the identity known as ‘’Siegfried Shieffer’’ is more than able to resist the invasion of a thousand artificial humans with barely any history, but that’s not the same for the mainframe.

A scream.

You could shut it all down, but that’s obviously going to mean that the army will not activate.

But then, what could this possibly means!? All this informations, unfiltered, unending, almost incessant, as if more than a thousand units were to awaken, could it be that Emeth is unable to grasp and contain the full number of this forward army? Or is something else going on?

You don’t have much times, the girls are fighting for their very lives, but this puzzle won’t quite be an easy one in this confusing, over stimulating place!

The invading data have obviously no place in the spider web of linked streams leading to the slumbering thousand, you can almost see the tiny columns of information sneaking inside the mainframe like some kind of spider legs now that you know what you’re looking for, your hand almost move to cut them by reflex as the knowledge to operate this seamless sword of information is injected into your soul link, however you stop at the last moment despite Emeth screams.

‘’LOCK’’

Trying to find the point of origin of this sabotage would take too much times, every seconds spent in this place means more risk for the women upstairs so instead you opt to stop these invasions, the innumerable ten thousand tiny streams carrying faraway data leading back to the capital, all of them glancing, touching penetrating the cocoon of your precious golem and already, the strain lessen; the soil, walls and ceiling were previously streaming and injecting enough letters to make words a jumbled, unidentifiable mess but now, everything was practically slowed down to a crawl and gratitude invade the link.

‘’Sorry about that, Emeth’’

She simply croons an answer, exhausted.

‘’Unit…1000…acthisva…’’

A scream, a rumble, something explode not too far off, Hadraniel is alarmed, even scared; her emotions completely shatter her inner serenity to be laid bare and there’s a whole lot of empathic fear for her fluffy comrade, you immediately jump to your feet, or at least try too and the world explode in color as you force your mind to witness the world anew, embracing Focus for logic, concentration and raw power.
You’ve been displaced from the stone for a fair distance and most of your right side is aching, as if you’ve been punched a few times during your unconsciousness but the worse almost slow down time as adrenaline kick in.

Tsukiyomi is standing near the stone, one hand dancing across the runic symbols but now turned to observe a charging angel, his armor cracked, ruined and discolored from its aerial battle, even its speed cause some parts to break off as it’s spear is pointed forward directly toward the Queen-Mother center mass who, for some reason, seem to have some kind of glowing sphere between her breast shining brilliantly. Blue flames escape her mouth, already scathing the angel while behind it; Hadraniel is charging and gaining ground, holding her halberd forward to try and destabilise her foe single minded charge…

What about an angle wall of ice to deflect him?
Stopping him won't work, but deflecting him might.

>>29617167
Ice armor step in front

>>29617350

It's a bit more complicated than a spike. Making a potent wave is pretty simple, ball of slime too, but an angled wall is a bit too much for fast casting.

>>29617420
well then I say do a giant wall of thick slime

>>29617167
Just something with enough force to knock him off course, the shape doesn't matter and it doesn't even need to be strong enough to do damage.

Rolled 2

>>29617460

Feasible, altought the consensus seem to be to step infront with our ice armor.

Don't mind this roll

>>29617420
Then what about wall of slime? All we want to do is calculate the amount of force and the angle required to deflect the charging angel. Not even stop him, but simply make him miss.

>>29617510

Like I said it's feasible, you'll need to roll 1d20 tough, since you aren't stepping infront to take the hit.

>>29617534

Also my roll wasn't for the angel, anyhow I'll take a little 20 minute breaks after I get you guys number and write

>>29617534
Quick question: are Angel weapons using magic?
Can we eat magic out of weapons?

>>29617564

Angels use their own material, only high end weapons and armors are magical.

As for your second question... it depend on the weapons itself, since magical artefacts are anomalies in themselves most of the time.

So I take it the consensus is to make a wave of slimic substence thrown at high speed to destabilise the angel right? Roll 1d20 for success, friends.

If you wish to take the hit, then no rolls are needed.

We had better not have fucked this up.

The very next seconds are so fast, so vibrant; it’s as if the very destiny of this world hang by a thread, nothing ice your heart over so fast, never before did you feel such a complete disregard for your own life and power overwhelmed your senses, your mind invaded the world, going beyond your sphere of influence as you try to rush over, casting a debilitating and fast spell while Tsukiyomi chest burns brightly while her mouth vomit jet of blue flames as she tries her best to jump to the side, the spear follows erringly as the red-clad angel disregard his own life, bent on killing himself with her.

The wall of slime emerge, catching everyone off guard at once, aimed for the spear and angel alike, it clutches and cling itself to its body, hardening and forcing his arms aside, trying but not succeeding in slowing the potent charge of the angel whose body is constantly shrouded by potent explosion of air, ripping off your spell despite your best effort, Tsukiyomi isn’t fast enough to dodge the foe despite your added support and now, the only thing left is to curse yourself.

The tip pierce through the blond Tenko clothe, inching into her body and drawing blood as you inject more and more magic to conquer the nova of winds of this damnable red insect, it work as he tremble but his velocity is too much, Tsukiyomi has opted to jump back with him in panic as-

With speed impossible to track for your eyes, you only see a dark shape grab him by the head and viciously pull lit in its direction, scratching the side of Tsukiyomi belly and splashing a good amount of blood as she scream in pain and fall, clutching herself to stop the flow of blood from the violent flesh wound as Hadraniel zip pas over and crash viciously on the ground, raising a cloud of ash and a most painful sounding roll as she disappear from view, so fast was her speed.

‘’One breath… too slow’’

A sickening wet crunch trample grunts of struggle as the head of the angel is, quite literally, squeezed and slashed into an unrecognizable mess, spreading thick white-golden blood all around as the corpse continue twitching, causing sporadic burst of wing despite its death, Athena is holding her mutated arm by the shoulder, breathing heavily as corrupted fluids seem into the angel blood, the two contrasting each other like water and oil.

Her entire arm has… mutated even more, you spot the odd tendrils jutting out and wiggling like worms while tiny, tiny eyes open in wet «plucks» to look around curiously before disappearing, some kind of dark exoskeleton has spread from the shoulder to encroach on her torso and neck while the entire dark flesh of the arm, especially the hand, have doubled in size and pumping sporadically, smoke escaping it’s entire length as, you notice ,the ground just a few centimeters in front of her has grown even darker and slime-like.

‘’It’s alright…’’

She speak, obviously winded as you realize that, not three meters to your left, the husk of a magitek armor lies there motionless, the head of its pilots splattered open by some kind of concussive force, toward the battlefield you see that two heroes are working closely together to keep the armors at bay, Belphegor nowhere in sight while the booms and crash of the magiteks resonate all around, the small, wounded forms of Sylphis and Mylen shuffled slowly toward your position, both of them sporting extensive wound and a worrying amount of blood loss, Mylen seem to have been perforated by a few crossbows bolts while Sylphis endured quite a few blade wounds. They won’t be able to fight anymore.

‘’Kuuu… ow…ow’’

Tsu is clutching her side, blood escaping her fingers and coloring her dark blue battle kimono in red while Athena is trying her best to settle down, breathing in heavily while looking curiously at the corpse, beads of saliva dripping down her mouth. The link tells a worrying warning; she’s feeling a euphoric bloodlust very uncharacteristic to this proud, dignified and talented warrior.

…

You rise to your feet spitting out the remaining ash in your mouth, Tsukiyomi looks up at you with tearful eyes, clutching her nasty wounds with vulpine ears flat on her head but otherwise fine, she give you a nod and you storm off toward Athena who, by now, has started to club her hand onto the armor of the corpse, already causing potent indentation while Hadraniel, somehow as peachy as you last saw her, kneel beside Tsu while encouraging the other two wounded girls to come while the heroes continue their fight, neither winning nor losing, Leila has likely taken the job to fight the remaining Inquisitors who mustn’t be any slouch, given the wounds on Mylen and the mantis.

‘’Give it to me! Give… GIVE IT TO ME!’’

The lizard girl growl in anger, pure rage exploding in the soul link as her hand reform to extend her claws into gleaming, wicked murdering blades and scratching the armor, leaving worrying marks as the material peel off slowly as her muscle constricts in effort, spewing out corrupted juices.

‘’Athena!’’

You plop down next to her (no corrupted) side and shake her, making her snap her jaw shut and look at you angrily, no in fact she give you a bestial glare of unbridled rage as her breath inscape in a snarl and saliva run down her mouth only for her eyes to blink several and, finally, the girl you remember and love is back.

‘’Ah… oh damn… damn…Almost did’’

But then, before you can ask anything, you feel a humid, solid sensation on your cheek as the first rain of the storm finally falls… and in the sky, a floating form is looking down in solemn silence.

Orion of combat, Embodiment of strife seem to be standing in the very air and is looking straight into your eyes, filling you with dread.

Well. This is going to be unpleasant.

INH, can you give some confirmation on some basic assumptions?
1. Siegfried, as an Ice Mage, can concentrate all of the kinetic and thermal energy of all water in his sphere of influence and concentrate it into a single attack/spell/lance of ice or water.
2. His sphere of influence is a 5-meter radius sphere, which can be increased for more mana.

1. He is a fluid mage, otherwise your assumption is solid, he can do al lof that but affecting the motions of the spells is absurdly costly and the vast majority of why you run out of energy, but using the motion of water around you? That's easy, childplay in fact.

2. Its two, I decided to make it below average to give you a little bit of a needed nerf, otherwise it can be increased, yes, the cost of the spells goes up exponentionally by the numbers of meters you need, three meters add .5 the cost, four meter add 2 time the cost, etc.

Ok, caught up. So... Most of our force is incapacitated, heavily wounded, or about to run out of mana with our healer in that last camp and the chief fucktard of all things killy is about to go apeshit on us...

Well, I keep saying we're fucked but now it seems it has finally come to pass. Unless we get some kind of Deus ex Machina in the form of a sudden platoon of expendable reinforcements or a Fallen making a go for his neck with the goddamned Shiki Knife or some other shit we have no right to expect to happen there's no real way out of this without at least one character dying or something.

Damnit all, if only this fucker was capable of real long term critical thinking and actually had a fucking moral compass that was open enough to consider that maybe the monsters aren't what they used to be.

Still, storm has started at least. Gives us a good power boost, not like it'll matter much against this brick shithouse full of "FUCK YOU".

Ok, Charge the totally not Caladbolg drill spike that ended Noscrim and overcharge that bitch as hard as we fucking can. This'd burn us hard normally, but storm power boost should enable us to pull it off without taxing ourselves too much. As in we can fire off a great deal of ice spikes to hold off attacks and such while we charge it to its absolute maximum power.

We're taking one of his fucking wings off if we fail to land the headshot we're going to attempt with it. This fucker is getting as close to a goddamned railgun blast as I can get it!

Even if he is beyond the realms of mortal men blowing his fucking head off will have to stun him for a bit. And if he loses a wing his mobility will be impaired for a time. Hadraniel can press that advantage and keep him off of our party.

Our aim is to buy enough time to gate all of us back to the fortress using Tsu's magical powers. She can make hasty portals. They hurt, but she can do them. I can only pray she survives the procedure. We have no chance of defeating this God of Destruction at this time. Our only hope is to hold him off long enough to escape.

Also you guys lucked out with Tsu.

You got the second best possible end.

If Siggy wake up too late and Athena fails her dice roll = Tsu get run through. She win her dice role, Tsu STILL get runthrough but the wound isn't as bad.

Siggy wake up, both he and she fails the rolls = the result we see now.

Siggy wake up in time, one of them manage the roll = small wounds in case of one of them managing it, no wounds at all if two wins happen.

Poor fluffy tails went as far as srpouting her Hoshi-no-Tama to gain more power (along with her natural fire ability) but it didn't work...

Wow what a gamebreaker hint

>>29621839
So he *does* know about the loops, at least an instinctual feel for them. In most cases when the Golem-path was actualized a powerful task force was dispatched to the stones to activate the army and overwhelm the church.

In most of these cases, Zipangu ended up victorious in the end. Though this loop is largely new the trends set by previous loops can still be followed. We were ultimately always loyal to Zipangu, thus one can assume that those paths will largely be followed to a large extent. As we came in with a Golem and not a Slime Girl he quickly put two and two together. Any other inconsistencies can be answered with leaks by Deruella's lackeys. The mission was compromised before it even began, by factors outside our own control. Such is usually the case in war, a great pity we were on the wrong end of that dark equation.

Of course they are. It's what makes them such effective sleeper agents. It's a scenario I've seen before. They swear up and down they aren't traitors and they really truly mean it. They even pass a lie detector test because they themselves don't know what has been done to them. Then the moment comes, and they pull the trigger at the opportune moment. They don't even remember the moment, they don't know how or why they had the gun at that time...

But they did, and they killed the target at the worst/best possible time. So hard, to fight an enemy that can pull that kind of bullshit. Yet that is what we face.

That requires that anyone actually survives this and returns to tell the other members of the alliance of what has transpired here today. A prospect that isn't looking too bloody likely right now. If we survive, IF, then we will have that positive outcome. If everyone dies the traitor will have gotten away with murder without even knowing they did so. Leaving Daiyu's position right and well compromised due to previously established hate, distrust, and general paranoia among the surviving ranks of the Zipangu leadership. A good play if it all works out for the one pulling the strings. A wise "large bet" as it were as it is a play that could potentially win them the game, or at least put them very much ahead of the other players at the table.

Always a good thing to be staring down at the other player with five times more chips than he has as the last men standing at the poker tournament. Other man can still win yes, but you can more than afford to lose a few hands and bluff freely. He doesn't have that luxury.

As we did summon the mech by the looks of it is anyone piloting it? Because if not I think it's high time someone activated the thing given how most of our allies are a moot point for this fight and we could use some extra power. Are Batrion or Vasuki compatible? Because a big shot of holy towards our human allies or a quad elemental shitstorm exhaust blast towards our enemies would really help us out.

>>29622462

So she's in it but if this goes on for much longer she's going to die. Well that's great.

At least it has thick armor plating so she doesn't exactly need to raise the shields to take a hit and we do have a mechanic back at home base to effect the no doubt necessary repairs. Worse comes to worse she can always berserk the thing I guess. Always seemed to work out in the end for Shinji after all.

We'll give her the pain killers as we do that too, that should help a great deal. Will also mean she'll be down for the next day leaving us without a combat healer. Oh well, big battles like this tend to be decided by this time and once it's over the enemy will need time to regroup, recover, and plan their next move. Meaning we hopefully get some kind of breather giving her the time to recover herself and be ready for the next big fight.

Post a few very trusted guards outside her room, preferably members of our own party or those who have been recently purged of charms and the like. Scan them hard too for any little thing that we can, only those fit to contain Keter class SCP's for this one. Can't have a sleeper agent finish her off while she's vulnerable.

I wonder how SCP in this world would be like... Ah well, wishful thinking, there can't be any of them in this peculiar world thank to a certain goddess.

Well, not any big ones anyway

None that get outside the swamp you mean. One could consider the place one very large containment facility. It all tends to stay within the boundaries. They either can't exist outside of it due to needing an environment full of corruption or simply never feel the need to make an escape as all they've ever wanted is already easily within their grasps. Or they simply can't move given their nature as mere objects instead of living creatures.

The Insult Box would love to walk around insulting people but it is, after all, a box. Boxes can't move on their own, good thing they can't type either. It'd be the world's ultimate troll. Able to reduce anyone who graced its threads to an incoherent rage.

A good reason they'll need modern tech to clear that place. Bullets man, you need lots of bullets. Or other high-level magical weapons. I just know SCP-682 is wandering around that place. You'll need a fucking ton of shit to end him, bastard might even be able to take a nuke to the face.

Let’s buckle up for some backstory

It has more to do with the very nature of the world itself along with Mother Earth action and the outcome of the War of the Pretenders, all the way back to the early start of civilisation and magic itself. That war was a big, big mess where entities beyond this dimensions were summoned, enslaved and killed regularly while uber powerful entities forged magical items after magical items to one up each other in order to become the ‘’one true authority of the planet’’ since nobody has a clue how to be omnipotent, they’ll settle for the next best thing.

Only a single one of these pretenders survived, but we’ve already covered him somewhat in previous discussion as well as Mother Earth emergence and birth, so I’ll concentrate on the swamp. When it was created, it was essentially a ‘’dimensional wound’’ in the planet so of course, anomalous entities were rampant and Mother Earth basically became a guard dog that, quite simply, obliterated anything coming out of it by being half of the ‘’One True Authority’’ of the planet, basically extra-dimensional creatures were hunted down and killed ruthlessly and she manipulated the Demon Lord before the one that caused the Great Crusade to inject that place with a MASSIVE amount of corruption, significantly weakening him and making him one of the weakest Lords ever recorded, but also placing balm this ‘’wound’’ and making that entire area somewhat ‘’natural’’ to the world, so the place is mostly populated by undeads and corrupted abominations but it’s still ‘’ a part’’ of this world since corruptions is a well-known and accepted thing of this world, her world, her dimension.

So, a thing like SCP-682 waltzing right into the swamp will be immediately met by a very angry, extremely deadly Goddess defending her home and being close to all powerful since the entire planet is hers; in turn Mother-Earth is defenseless anywhere but her home.

Of course small anomalies always pop up, especially after the horrible past that was basically a game of Early Era of Dominion, but for them to escape her notice they’d have to either be.

A) So small and insignificant that she doesn’t pick up on them.
B) Sentient, as close to human as possible and most of all, benevolent. She’d then willingly test them to see if they can fit in her home, since she’s the kind of host that like to welcome good strangers.

Anything else is ruthlessly hunted down and killed with extreme prejudice.

Ah so he's "Father Sky" I think, With "Mother Earth" being the other deity people worship. Only the former hasn't been doing much lately for some reason.

Lazy Bastard, if you want to be a friggin' "god" then you have to be ready to accept the responsibilities of the role. Why I never got why people want to be gods honestly, so much work, hardly any time to just chill out and relax because the world needs you on the job else it all goes to shit.

Same thing with ruling the whole world, all the stuff you'd have to be constantly on top of. I'd rather be a farmer, or a NEET, or something else nice and simple that grants a man lots of free time without said free time screwing other people over somehow. Unless the current "gods" were incompetent or lazy as fuck or evil, then I might just want to take over just so everyone else can have it better. But I'd try to find someone else to do it first as I don't much relish being in the role. Unless we're talking evil gods, wouldn't have the time to find others in that event. Would have to move immediately, before they caught on to me plans.

Father Sky hasn't been around for quite a while now... Mommy Earth is now the sole ''Authority'' of our lovely monstergirl world, I do believe I disclosed infos about that guy in a previous thread.

Anyhow, our mother didn't exactly asceed to godhood since she was born from the collective counciousness of each sapient specie concept of ''good'' so of course, she's very benevolent... and extremely ruthless to any extradimensional visiter trying to make itself cozy in her place.

You do not want to piss her off.
