Active A Hellish Inheritance

[Uasal]

~'Nox'~

Nox’s attack swiftly dispatched all the enemies within her initial range. As her katana struck, their bodies briefly shimmered with a coating of ice before shattering and quickly melting away.

Three more zombies lunged at her, but Nox countered their combined assault with a vicious strike. Her blade flashed in a deadly arc, slicing through the air with immense force, followed swiftly by a follow-up slash driven by the fierce momentum of the first. As her katana rocketed toward the zombies and their incoming attacks, her glowing eyes remained fixed on the creatures surrounding her, a blood-stained grin stretching across her face. Even when encircled by monsters, Nox was the hunter—unyielding and unapologetic.

But the monsters immediately around her were not the only targets of her bloodlust. As her heavy slashes aimed to deal with the nearest threats, Nox seized an opportunity to strike at the zombies forming around G12. With a deft flick of her wrist, she harnessed the remaining momentum to send a devastating surge of holy ice toward the amassed group. Her blade cut through the air in a crescent arc, the power of her attack shimmering like moonlight as it sliced through the air and toward the undead horde.

Attack H12​

 

[Elias Wren]

Kite Vanzanth


Kite felt a sense of ease knowing he was not alone, even as the hoard closed in around them. His attack was not as effective as he had hoped, but it was a good learning experience with the ectoplasm. With the zombie closing in he felt the time for play was over, his sword igniting in vibrant blue flames.



"I will not die this day!"



Kite roared from deep within and swung his sword horizontally in an attempt to thwart his attackers attempts at ending his life, flames streaking across the are between them. He made every attempt not to strike Marcus as they stood back to back, brothers in arms against what felt like impossible odds.



Counter-attack 1-3



Inferno Blade - Blight - Focus [F] - Elemental Affinity Fire [F] - Magic [F] - Fighting Style [F] Flame Blade - Fire Elemental Affinity [F] - The blade of Kite's sword is engulfed flames and strikes a single target for instant damage. - F grade - 0 cooldown

To Kite, Marcus only had this to say in reply. "Fortune favors the bold." Whether or not they would die here, Marcus could hardly be so sure. He was never so assured. But he neither thought it unlikely that they'd leave. The slightest hint of possible success was enough for the fire within to burn.

Two went down, but the rest of the horde began to close in. Seeing everyone became more difficult as bodies blocked out sight and once distant hungry groans became louder. With his enemies closing in on him, he shifted the Chimeric conduit in his hand into the form of a one-handed sword. Watching the results of both his attack and his spear gave Marcus an idea of what the creatures were capable of.

Recounting his training, he focused on perhaps the most basic technique of all: Breathing.

Inhale....

.....Exhale.

SLICE SLICE.

Two efficient sword swings [Henostic Sword F x2] were launched towards the zombies which sought to attack him. One [H13] would find its lunge stopped shy by the sword, cleaving into the top of its skull --- seeking to cut it in half until it reached the chest cavity.

"Silence." He spoke briefly, during his next strike.

The other [G12] would come forward clamping seeking purchase in armor and flesh....only to find said jaw shut as he thrust up into the bottom of it's chin. And likely out the top of its skull.

He noticed another zombie standing near the rest [H13] and already his sword moved. Yet instead of striking it -- he noticed what lay beyond the creature: Nox was preparing a vicious slash towards it with Marcus in the flight path. By now, Marcus knew that Nox could easily kill this thing and judging by the ease by which she dispensed with all around her, she likely wasn't going to have a hard to destroying the lowly creature in front of him.

More worrying was the potential for it to hit him and Kite. Izuru still appeared to be fine in spite of all that. But he figured he began to draw his sword to be safe. He whiffed the strike and instead opted for a hasty defense [Parry F]. He'd draw his short arming sword in preparation to cleave the air aside -- much like when he intercepted the explosion.

Perhaps the icy sword-wave Nox sent to him would simply eviscerate the target near him [H12] exclusively-- making his defense a sign of simple overcaution and paranoia. But he'd not be surprised if it over-penetrated the creature and shattered his sword outright. The results or lack thereof -- would likely serve to impact Marcus' suspicions of her, locking it in place or shifting if she truly sought to spare him.

The warrior's gaze shifted to three more zombies. One in the midst of attacking Izuru [M12]. And two more who were near him doing nothing at this second but likely poised to attack either Izuru or Guiseppe.

"Guiseppe. Two to your right, near Izaru." He said, directing him verbally to their positions [M14] [N14] "Kill them." He said, two simple words -- before he would witness the effects of the Nox's third attack in his vicinity.

Izuru
Mentions: Maxxob Maverick Six

Now Izuru could see the rotten faced undead guy trying to come at him with its mouth of mostly missing teeth wide open. The dragonkin knew that moving away from it wasn't much of an option given that there were plenty of them to take its place. He could also hear Marcus call out for Giuseppe to provide backup to his scaly ass before he ended up getting gnawed on. Trapped on the spot with little else to do. Izuru began improvising so that he wouldn't have to endure getting too close to the zombie. Once again summoning force the dark power that was pretty much all he could use at the moment. The dragonkin mage combined his natural [Regeneration F] with [Magic F] in order to secrete dark energy from his very pores. Naturally pulling this one out of his ass was probably going to have adverse effects on his health; said health being at greater risk if that walking corpse tried to eat him. As a dragonkin, his body healed a miniscule amount faster than a human. Referring to it as a healing factor was just asking to be mocked. Yet right now he was taking advantage of that very pathetic healing factor in order to make himself taste downright horrible if he was forced to get munched on.
