Lily Ylva
Nier - 14th Day​

A slight blood spattered cough escaped Lily's breath in response to Myremon, her hands drawing down to grab one of the red vials adorning her belt, as she lifted it to her lips with little hesitation. "Hehe! I should be good, *eck*, for the moment." The foxling grinned back toward him, before staring back at Elyssa, a clear glint of inspiration and amazement in her eyes. "I do hope we don't plan to leave for good though, still plenty to do!" An eerie smile dawned upon Lily's face, as she began to turn to flee with the others.

 

[RizaTiz]

Two minutes before the battle with Elyssa concluded, Ash began feeling better. "Hey Shi, Nazzek, I don't feel weird anymore!" She said, going to stand up but she looked behind Nazzek and over at the forest. "Did Myremon say he was doing something with fire?" Nazzek shook his head. "Wha, what yer talkin' bo-" Nazzek looks to the horizon, looking at the smoke pillar coming from the place where Myremon and Veronica went. "Aw, barnacles! Shi, get Ash on her feet, we need t'get there!" Shi just nods and pours her energy on Ash, restoring her fatigue. "Done! Go?" Nazzek nods at Shi, then turns to Ash. "Yer good t'go, lass?" Ash jumped up and nodded "Yeah!". With that, they rushed towards the forest.

As they were running, they felt a strong wind hit them, product of the shockwave unleashed from Elyssa's hat. They arrived once Veronica and Elyssa began speaking, the battle having concluded moments before. "Woooah, what happened?" Ash looked at the ground in front of her, there was a big crater near Myremon, Veronica and a mysterious woman. Lily was a bit further from them, and the greenery near her was completely scorched.

"Ooh, who are these people?" Elyssa asked, surprisingly not attacking them on sight like she did with Myremon, Veronica and Lily. "They are our friends too. That's Nazzek, Ash and Shi." Veronica explained, pointing to each of them. Elyssa left both Myremon and Veronica behind and went up to Nazzek. "Huh, you got four arms! Just like Darwin!" As she said this, the eye on her hat slowly opened and as it did, one of the crystals attached to her hat lost its color. When it opened completely, the crystal was completely colorless, shattering seconds after. It gave us a rather ominous aura as it stared back at Nazzek.

Elyssa then went over to Shi "You look strange! What's up with your mouth? What a strange outfit you got!" She said this, completely oblivious if this made Shi uncomfortable or not. Not waiting for an answer, she looked at Ash. She grinned widely. "This kid looks awfully like that succubus." Ash looked very confused, mostly because she didn't know what's a succubus nor that her mother is one.

Nazzek was skeptic. He gripped his swords tightly when Elyssa approached it, and was a bit wary about the hat, but decided not to tell anyone, since it looked like Veronica trusted her. "Whasser problem?" He said, sheathing his swords. Shi flinched, nervous, when Elyssa turned her attention to Shi. As soon as Elyssa approached Ash, however, Myremon cast a gust of wind, pushing Elyssa back from the girl. "I'm not sure what is going on here, but do keep your hands to yourself. I don't care if it'll take my entire life force to defeat you, I'll put you down if you raise a finger against us." Myremon said, dispelling the gust. The animosity was palpable.

Lily Ylva
Nier - 14th Day​

Lily turned back toward the others, still nursing her wound, her fur lightly patted with stains of her own blood, though it was not profuse. A smirk dawned once more on her face as Myremon casted toward the witch, the slant of ambition still fresh in her eyes. "I don't think witchy is ganna let us just leave here." A slight giggle escaped, Lily's eyes darting between her companions and Elyssa. "You aren't alone here Myremonnn" The foxling continued to egg the wraith on, though at this rate it seemed for naught.

 

[RizaTiz]

As the gust of wind hit Elyssa, the pupil of the eye seemed to dilate for a moment before returning to normal. She turned to Myremon and when he mentioned killing her, her smile seemed to widen. Before things could escalate further, Veronica interjected "Myremon, we should get going. Rena might be in trouble and the quicker we get there, the better."
"Ooh, Ooh, I'm going too! I have some things I need to do there." Elyssa exclaimed.

Once everyone was in agreement, the heroes set off once more towards the laboratory. Whether the others wanted it or not, Elyssa followed behind them, albeit a bit far as Myremon warned her to not get too close. On their way to the laboratory, Ash asked Myremon "What's a suckubus?"

As they arrived closer and closer to the laboratory, the entire area was corrupt. All of the plant life had withered away and a dark fog covered the area, however, there was no building in sight. "Isn't this where the laboratory is supposed to be?"

[Gabe]

Myremon gave one final look at Elyssa, then turned to Lily and Veronica. "Yeah, I think we should go. This girl is on your hands, Veronica, I'll hold you accountable for everything that she does." He turned his back and headed towards the laboratory.

Myremon looked at Ash when she made her question, his impassable mask showing no emotion whatsoever. "A succubus is a demon that feeds off of men's energies. They enter their dreams and create a fantasy for them there, while absorbing their energies in the real world. Of course, there are several ways that a succubus can absorb energies. The male counterpart of a succubus is an incubus." He said, concisely. "Your mother is a succubus, and you are one too. That being said, you don't need to absorb energy to survive." Nazzek nodded, impressed with Myremon and his way of saying 'they suck their energies of men by having sex with them' without actually saying it. Shi followed, still wary of Elyssa, the woman irradiating corruption. She kept to herself however, since Veronica and the rest of the group at least tolerated her.

As they approached the place where the laboratory was supposed to be, Myremon stopped. "Hold." There was nothing there, but Myremon could feel something. "The laboratory is supposed to be here, but..." He tried to walk towards the place, but soon, turned to the side and started circling around a path. He stopped in his tracks, and nodded. "Suggestion magic, subset of illusion. There's a field here that forces the person to pretend that something isn't there, so much that they walk around it without noticing. If my arcane sense wasn't keen, we would have walked in circles for days." He lowered himself to the ground, the robes pooling under him as he inspected the ground. "It's damaged enough for me to dispel it, but there'll be resistance, probably. Keep me safe while I perform the dispelling." He started to whisper an incantation, as the ground started to shift.

Lily Ylva
Nier - 14th Day​

A slight bout of shock fluttered through Lily's eyes before returning to joy. "Oooh, fun! Another crazed maniac to hang out with!" She giggled, her natural glee hiding the sarcasm blatant in her words.

"So if we ever do kill the demon king, it's probably just Ash sucking the rest of our energy out!" Lily smiled in response to Myremon's description. "I just hope she doesn't do it in the usual w-." Lily's words stopped just before she could get into too much detail as Myremon called out to them, the foxling's eyes darting frantically in excitement, but nothing of interest was within view. Her eyes bulged at the thought of their discovery, to finally find the laboratory, and to get a chance to see just what was inside. "Nice! Straight to the point Myremon I like it! We gotta' get in a find some of those reci... Uh, old guys nieces... Or whatever!" The half-human's eyes shut slyly as her head tilted with a grin.

 

[RizaTiz]

"We're here to rescue Rena and her team, Lily" responded Veronica. As Myremon began his incantation, Elyssa seemed to become restless. "C'mon, C'mon, Come on, get us inside Myremon!" Unfortunately for her, she didn't know how to dispel things like this.

Myremon ignored her and raised his censer, the smoke billowing outward. The fine strands of mist, instead of dissipating, coalesced in a fine layer in front of him, as if it wanted to cross a threshold that eluded the naked eye. Myremon started waving the censer, drawing out more and more smoke as he whispered in a strange tongue. The smoke started to darken, more and more, as he continued his incantation, the barrier darkening until only a shimmering patch of darkness remained in front of him. Myremon's voice started to go higher and higher as his incantation concluded, and as soon as he uttered the final verse of the spell, the barrier shattered inward, the circles on the ground breaking one by one as the laboratory came into view.

The place was akin to a ruined castle than an actual laboratory. Dilapidated stonework and ruined towers were scattered around the ruins, but the imposing main structure was intact, albeit unkempt. The dark stone had wires and unknown substances on it, and the moat had been long since dried out, rotting bodies of almost all races filled the hole: Men, demon, beastkin and merfolk, elves and others that were too decomposed to discern. The main door had a massive hole, creating an entrance into the laboratory The place was eerily quiet, no demons surrounding the place or guarding it.

Without a second thought, Elyssa began skipping towards the entrance. "Well then, come on! Not a second to waste! I have to go get Charlie!" Ash watched as the laboratory revealed herself and once the ruins of the laboratory were visible, she felt a chill go down her spine. She felt something strange about these ruins, but she didn't know what it was.

[Gabe]

The entrance of the laboratory had a horrible smell, rotting and burnt flesh mixing with the pungent smell of blood. The lifeless corpses, at least the ones that still had faces, were locked in an expression of pure horror and pain. Nazzek coughed loudly, covering his face, while Shi just looked sad. "Places like this exist... This is just awful... What is this place?" Myremon shook his head. "The Doctor is inside this compound. My target..." His eyes flashed red as he gripped his staff tightly. "This is where I came to be. The origin of my suffering. Let's keep a low profile. I don't want anyone to see our presence." Myremon was the first to open the door, the stale air escaping the insides of the dreadful building.

The first thing that the heroes noticed was the huge amount of wiring everywhere. Nondescript lights appeared and disappeared in specific points in the wires, as if they were transmitting something. The hall was empty, but every once in a while, a scream could be heard from the bowels of the building. The overall look of the castle was semi-ruined, but well-kept: broken walls and pillars, defaced statues, but not a single dirty spot. Myremon was the first to enter, beating even Elyssa, but he froze when a loud, static noise filled the empty halls. Then, a voice that made Myremon shiver. "Interlopers..."

 

[RizaTiz]

Moving past Myremon when he froze in his steps, Elyssa continued forward. "Hiya you stupid, sad, pathetic bag of shit bones! Don't mind me, I'm going to go ahead and find Charlie. I'd tell you to try and stop me bu~ut...hehehe." With that, she continued down of the many dark hallways, disappearing into the black mist that filled the area.

Almost gagging from the smell, Veronica covered her nose and mouth. Before Ash could look at the corpses, Veronica's snakes covered the small girl's eyes. "Ah?-" Ash looked confused and softly tried to move the snakes. "Ash, just...don't look." She told the girl as they both went inside the laboratory, where there was a noticeable lack of corpses. Both Ash and Veronica got startled when a loud static noise filled the empty halls, with a sharp, raspy voice taking over. Upon hearing his voice, Ash immediately grabbed onto Veronica, visibly shaking.

[Gabe]

Adler laughed. "Oh, I know this voice. Is that you, my dear Whirlpool? It is good that you came back, fräulein!" Myremon gritted his teeth from under his mask. "Doctor... I swear by the gods that I will end you today." Another laugh came from everywhere. He looked around and saw clear floating crystals on the corners of the room, that shined whenever the doctor spoke. "By the King... The Incomplete Wraith has returned as well! Erstaunlich, erstaunlich! Today is going to have so many surprises!" A whirring noise came from the other side of the great hall, and the darkness was cast asunder by sparks of electricity. A demon, no more than 8 foot in height, had a pair of coils on his back. He grunted, his dark skin crackling with electricity. "But first, I wanted to try out my newest invention. Would you like to help me with the test? Of course you do, you have no choice... Vernichten." The beast growled higher as he walked forward, the energy surging from his arms. A white hot streak was aimed directly to Elyssa, the person in the frontmost of the group.

 

[RizaTiz]

Elyssa looked at the massive demon in front of her, who was aiming an attack directly at her. With a grin, she extended her hand towards the demon. "Worry not, mercy will come swiftly." A small white flame appeared in front of her hand, illuminating the area. As the flame got brighter, Myremon could feel the mana in the area draining quite rapidly. As the demon launched the electricity towards her, she grabbed the white flame and threw it at the demon.

The electricity hit Elyssa, but she didn't seem to be in pain. She stood still and kept looking at the demon. The white flame traveled through the electricity and hit it in the chest, going inside his body. Seconds later, the demon began to shine a bright light from within his body as a pillar of light appeared, enveloping the demon and reducing him to ash.

The light died down and the room darkened once more. "What the..." Veronica looked astonished at what she just saw. Elyssa completely destroyed the massive demon. Heavy breathing interrupted her astonishment, however, as Veronica turned to look at Ash, who was sweating and struggling to stand. "A-Ash!?"

[Gabe]

Myremon gritted his teeth when Elyssa attacked. "Mana drain..." He felt his energy flowing out of him, and only then he noticed the energy within Elyssa, or the lack thereof. Her whole body was of an engulfing darkness that seemed to drain all energy around her. After the electric demon fell, he could feel the air stabilizing. "She's a Mana sink... He muttered, before Veronica exclaimed Ash's name. He looked to where the girl was and saw her struggling to stand. He was quick to reach her side before she fell down. "Her Nana's almost gone. Elyssa probably drained her with her little stunt." He turned to Elyssa. "Control your power better or don't use it at all." He said before he started administering aid to the demon girl. "Relax, it's not the end of the world. Veronica, if anyone arrives, take care of Ash. Keep watch until I get her back on her feet."

 

[RizaTiz]

"Hey, I only hit the demon, not you guys" Elyssa responded as she turned around, covered in burns from the electricity that hit her directly. Looking up to nowhere in particular, she yelled "I'll go ahead and go find Charlie now, ya walking corpse" She continued forward, almost stumbling, farther down the hallway.

Veronica nodded, getting in front of Myremon and Ash to defend them in case any other monsters came. The only thing that came was the sounds of screaming from farther in the laboratory. Ash's breathing got progressively better as Myremon helped her restore her mana. She stopped sweating and didn't seem to be in pain. She opened her eyes and asked "What happened? Why'd I feel all bad so quickly."

Gabe Radio_Rat66.6

 

[Gabe]

Myremon kept restoring Ash's mana, until she was in enough shape to keep going. "It was Elyssa. She drained mana from the environment and the people around her to fuel her abilities." He rose Ash to her feet and patted her on the head. "How are you feeling? Good enough to keep going?" Shi was frantic, chirping wordlessly at the young demon. "Ash okay? Couldn't heal..." She said, sighing sadly. Myremon shook his head at Shi. "It wasn't a wound, Shi, she ran out of mana. Don't worry about it, okay?" Shi nodded, but the sad expression didn't leave her face. Nazzek brandished his sword, pointing at the place where Elyssa went. "I reckon we shoulda hurry to where the lass went, if we want a piece o' tha fun. I'm ready as y'all are."

 

[RizaTiz]

"Yeah, I'm better now" Ash responded, hopping up and dusting herself off. "I didn't like that feeling though..." Veronica lowered her sword and looked forward. "I suppose we should." She responded to Nazzek. The heroes ventured deeper into the laboratory, passing through broken cells, most of which were filled with decaying corpses of various creatures, the rotting stench filling the air. "How could anybody do this?" Veronica asked in a disgusted tone. This was cruel and inhumane, and knowing that Myremon had to went through whatever was going on here made her feel horrible.

After travelling through the nearly empty laboratory, they began to hear sounds coming from one of the cells. It was a male voice speaking to an unknown person. "Stop being stubborn and rest, I'll keep watch." It sounded familiar yet they couldn't tell who it was. As they got closer to the cells, the talking stopped, and it was dead silent. Myremon goes closer to the cell, slightly extending his hand as an orb of light appears above it, illuminating the area quite a bit. He almost immediately notices who's in the broken cell.

First was Rena, who was lying against the wall. She held a hand up to block the light from her eyes and another holding a cloth over her leg, which was stained red from blood. The 2nd figure he recognized as the small mage that was running by the tavern when Rena went on her quest to this place. Her clothes were torn and the missing pieces were wrapped around her entire arm as makeshift bandages. The 3rd, who was facing Myremon, was the red-haired knight also seen running by the tavern that day. His armor was scuffed and broken at places. He seemed to be the least injured, but he still had small scratches and bruises. He looked at Myremon with gritted teeth and lunged forward with his sword. The wraith moved out of the way, the knight plunging his sword into the wall next to Myremon. He pushed away from the wall, getting his sword out of it, and turned towards Myremon with his sword ready, however he looked confused as he saw the other heroes next to Myremon. "Who are you?" He asked with a serious expression.

 

[Gabe]

Myremon looked at the blade on the wall briefly, before staring down at his assailant. Shi immediately rushed towards the injured, placing her hands and concentrating, healing them. He looked at Rena, and breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you were a goner, Rena. I'm glad to see that you're alive." He then turned to the knight. "I'm Myremon Seonag. I'm here to defeat the lord of this castle. You are probably Rena's party, I remember your faces at Nier." Nazzek was a little bit on edge at the start, but relaxed as soon as Myremon recognized the people. "Glad t'see that yer not some crazy beast from the guy that runs the place." Myremon nodded. "You were captured, right? I'm glad that we got to you before the Doctor did." Myremon looked towards the corridor. "I'm sure that there are more enemies around, but a... neutral party is taking care of them, You might be able to flee this place now, something I recommend. You are in no shape to fight, especially when you look at your injuries."

 

[RizaTiz]

As Shi ran past them to attend to Rena and the white-haired witch, the knight pointed his sword in Shi's direction before Myremon began to speak. "Myremon Seonag...? Rena did mention you. She didn't mention you were a wraith though." As Shi placed her hands on Rena's leg, the oni lowered her hand and looked at the heroes. "Oh yah, he was once a human. Dunno how he turned intah a wraith though. Why are yah here by the way?" She asked, the wound in her leg slowly closing up as Shi healed her. "You were all classified as missing once your guild necklace was destroyed, and you didn't return to the guild within the estimated time for your quest." The red-haired knight reached into a small pouch, taking out the shattered pieces of his necklace. "Yeah, everything was going well until the leader of this place began to speak to us and started sending wave after wave of demons and wraiths at us. This one demon that could fire electricity got some good hits on us after Lucy kept redirecting the electricity." He said, looking at the unconscious girl next to Rena. "We've just been stuck here because every time we try to progress towards the exit, another wave of demons is just thrown at us and we're forced to retreat and hide." He said the last part with an annoyed expression on his face.

As the knight was explaining their situation to the heroes, Rena's wound closed up completely, along with the small bruises and scratches she had on her body. "Eh?" Rena looked down at her leg, seeing that the huge gash was now completely gone, along with all the scratches and bruises she had all over her body. She looked over at Shi, who was looking at her with hopeful and smiled. "Haha! Would yah looka dat?!" She jumped over and moved her body, specifically her leg. She turned around to Shi and grabbed the girl's shoulders, lifting her up to a standing position. "I appreciate it, girly! I haven't felt this great since I drank the last of the booze a few days ago!" She happily said, giving Shi a strong pat on the back, forgetting to hold back.

The oni turned to the heroes, specifically at Myremon. "Flee? Nah, I wanna find dis motherfucker sending these demons and give him a beating!" The knight looked at Rena, previously exhausted and injured, now moving all over the place full with energy. He couldn't help but chuckle. "You're always reckless, aren't you?" He sighed and looked back to Myremon. "I can't stop her, but I can assure you I'll take Lucy back to Nier safe and sound." He proceeded to sheathe his sword and bowed to Myremon. "Thank you very much for coming to help us, and forgive me for not introducing myself. My name is Alexander Hyrethorn, pleasure to make your acquaintance."

As Alexander introduced himself, Rena looked at the heroes and noticed Nazzek. "Sharkie!!! How've yah been? You're lookin' weaker than I remember!" She said, playfully taunting him.

 

[Gabe]

Myremon listened closely as the scene unfolded. "I turned into a wraith by the master of this castle. The official mission is to rescue the missing, but my objective here is to take care of 'Herr Doctor'." He said, his voice dripping with disgust. "There's a girl wrecking havoc on the deeper levels of the castle, so you won't have a lot of resistance while leaving. I suggest getting out as soon as possible, though. Shi will take care of any wounds." Myremon said, while Shi took care of Rena's cuts and bruises.

Before Shi could say her customary "Done!", Rena pulled her in for a hug, heavily squeezing the golem. "Hurt..." She said, trying to smile because of the affection. She was staggered when she was dropped, and the hit on her back didn't help, as she almost tumbled to the ground. "W-welcome..." She mewled, recovering herself, before moving on to the others. Soon, everyone was in their top shape. "Done!" She said, smiling from ear to ear.

Myremon shook his head. "As much as I'd appreciate the help, Rena, I believe you should sit this one out. The girl that I mentioned, she's somewhat of a wild card, and extremely strong at that. Her hatred of demons might make her confuse you for one, and although I acknowledge your physical might, I can't guarantee that you'll win." Myremon said, crossing his arms. "You need to report our success back to the guild, otherwise other people might come to harm's way." After the knight introduced himself, Myremom bowed back. "It is a pleasure, Alexander. I hope to see you well, back in Nier."

Nazzek was waiting for everyone to get sorted, making small talk with Ash and Veronica, when Rena taunted him. "Ah, red lass! Was waitin' for ya! I'm glad dat ye didin't keel over 'ere, we need to brawl again after our draw!"

 

[RizaTiz]

"Oh ya, but I can see I'll win easily this time!" Rena laughed, taunting him once more. "Ye doubt me strength, Miermon? I'll take 'er on, no magic has beat me yet!" Myremon's comment seemed to only encourage Rena's want to continue with them, until Alexander stepped "Haha, now now, Rena. Look, if you come with us and help me protect Lucy on our way back to Nier, I'll...uh...buy all the booze you want for the night." Rena's eyes widened and looked back at Alexander. "Really!?" She dashed straight over to Lucy and picked her up, carrying her on her back. "Then let's get goin'! I'll get both of ye to Nier safely!" Alexander chuckled and looked back at Myremon. "Could you tell us in which direction you came from?"

After being told the directions, Alexander thanked Myremon once more and said their goodbyes before leaving with Rena, with Lucy on her back, towards the exit of the laboratory. "It's a relief we were able to find them. I'm glad they're safe now." Veronica smiled and looked ahead. "Shall we continue?

Gabe

 

[Gabe]

After the farewells, Myremon returned to his group. "Yes, let's go. Elyssa probably had her fun already. The battle will probably be rough, so be prepared." Shi nodded nervously, right before receiving a reassuring pat on the back from Nazzek. "Don'tcha worry, lass! We'll be okay, you'll see!" Shi nodded again, seemingly calmed down, but still nervous.

Myremon led the group through the inner parts of the ruined castle. There was resistance, yes, but nothing like he thought it would have. "Elyssa must've worked to thin their numbers," he said. As they approached the inner sanctum, the Doctor started taunting them. "Why must you go against progress? Don't you see that my research will be the transcendence of death? We will be immortals, greater than the gods!" Myremon tried his best to remain silent. "Look at you, wraith. You're an almost perfect being, a consciousness without a body, without the chains that will drag you back to the earth! The only thing that you need to do is cast away your humanity." Myremon gritted his teeth, his attacks becoming more and more ferocious. Nazzek and Shi followed soon after, trying their best to keep up. "The world need not heroes, they need perfection. The ignorant populace go through their days, trying to seek meaning to their miserable lives... This is their meaning! To become something greater than themselves!" By the time they reached the main hall, where Adler was, Myremon's eyes were glowing red, rage growing in his mind.

 

[RizaTiz]

As they made their way through the ruined castle, broken even further by Elyssa as evidenced by the corpses of demons on the floor and lingering mana in the area, Ash felt more and more uneasy, especially once Adler began to speak. The little girl seemed uncomfortable, and yet she didn't even know why herself. She's never heard his voice before and yet it feels ominously familiar. Veronica attempted to calm Myremon as Adler taunted him, but she knew that it was useless, considering this was the man who turned him into a wraith. All she could do was stop him if he became too reckless.

Arriving at the main hall, they saw that it was in near perfect condition, unlike the rest of the building. They saw the various contraptions used to hold prisoners, and the torture tools to break their spirit. Countless skeletons of various heights were in the cells, showing various stages of decay and damage. Up a small flight of stairs there was what seemed to be an observation room, overlooking the entirety of the room the heroes were in. "He's in there, isn't he?" Veronica asked, referring to Adler.

Gabe

 

[Gabe]

The observatory room's entrance was through a side set of stairs that led further upward, but the group didn't need to climb it. Adler appeared on the rampart of the observatory, a decaying smile decorating his undead face."Aaah, wilkommen! I suppose this is the part where the valiant heroes come and defeat the evil villain, ja?" Myremon's aura burst into a red flurry as he rushed forward to strike Adler, his censer and staff left behind, growing claws ready to strike. With a wave of his hand in the air, Adler summoned a deafening burst of electricity that blindsided the wraith, throwing him onto a wall that gave in easily. "It is rude to interrupt people, wraith. I taught you better than that..." He said as he laughed. Shi yelped and tried to rush to Myremon's side, only to be stopped by a bolt of lightning right in front of her. "Ah ah ah, fräulein, it'll be your turn very soon! Soon, all of you will be part of my Grand Design!" Myremon grunted, rationality already gone from his mind as he rose up in the air and tried to strike the wraith again, only to be struck yet again by lightning. "For now, keep me entertained, ja? I'm a man of science, but who says that science can't be fun?"

Adler rose his hands in the air and started an incantation. All around the room, perhaps even the castle, bones and scraps of flesh rushed together, the noises of breaking and tearing filling the room. After a few seconds, a flesh golem roared with rage and pain, as Adler cackled. "Yes, my spell works! The enemies of the Demon Lord will be fuel for these things, growing until they engulf the whole battlefield!" Nazzek drew his swords, gritting his jagged teeth. "T'is the time, lads. Let's try to entertain the good doctor, aye?"

 

[RizaTiz]

Veronica unsheathed her sword, going to rush to Myremon's aid until the bones and decaying flesh from his victims all began flying past them, slowly building a sort of humanoid shape, culminating into a massive flesh golem, filling the room with an ear-piercing roar of both rage and pain. Holding back the urge to throw up, Veronica faced the golem ready to fight as two strands of her hair transformed into snakes. "Seeing the display of her power, I wouldn't mind if Elyssa decided to burst in here..." Ash, on the other hand, fell back onto the floor, shivering in fear. Not of the golem, but not due to anything that was present in the room either. At least, nothing present in the room that she could tell was the source of her fear. She couldn't shake off the feeling of despair and unease that filled her but she still stood up, summoning her gauntlets and facing the golem, all the while shaking with fear.

The unholy golem began to charge at them, ready to crush whoever was in it's path with it's fists. Veronica used her snakes to pull herself towards the broken down cells, getting out of the golem's path, and charging back towards it, slicing at it's legs in an attempting to inhibit the speed of the golem, at least by a bit. Ash, meanwhile, seemed to have an unfocused stare as the golem charged at them, until she suddenly pulled herself back into reality and blasted herself upwards, swinging her fists downwards, hitting the golem's head as she flew behind him.
