S-Ability Adrenaline Surge activates! [Bestows Haste]

Klein raised a hand to Henry before he had the chance to heal him.  He turned his head and saw the worried expression on the boy's face and the boy was definitely about to scrawl something, but stopped.  A red aura surged to life around Klein as he felt the adrenaline coursing through him once more.  Henry had already done enough.  It was time that Klein unleashed hell on these creatures or died trying.  Auza's magic wasn't going to bind the spearmen forever, granted she had enough of a mana pool to cast the magic once more, but there was no telling if it would be effective again.  The swordsman had full confidence in Auza; he always had.  Just, in a different world especially, there was no telling what could happen.  In order to move forward, Henry would have to follow him to support him.  The boy needed to be with the others.  Opening his mouth for a mighty roar, Klein surged forward to the fireball he had been harassing, wings of light shooting downwards out of his back while his blades became coated in a similar light.  He would shred the darkness from their fiery forms.

Klein moves to D6.

MP: 13/100

As much as Henry wished to help Klein, the swordsman was stubborn and moved away before he had the chance to help.  "If that is what you see fit, Mister Klein.  Godspeed," Henry whispered, a smile of confidence on his lips.  His pen was set to furiously scrawling the story of the groups adventures so far--all of their endeavors and hardships.  He read the words as he went, the mere sound of them inspiring his nearby allies, granting them a vigilant speed while the tale ravaged the souls of the men that threatened them.  "Nothing like a little reminiscing.  But our story isn't over yet."

Henry waits.

Macha uses Focus! [ATK +10%][CHR +10%]

MP: 7/75

"My bold apprentice," Macha spoke, wiping a fake tear from her eye.  "But also very foolish.  Ah well, I suppose a foolish streak like his just can't be quelled through any means of training," she said with a grin, her eyes sharpening as she enhanced her own abilities, focusing on her swordplay and the battle itself.  Three strikes easily landed on the chained individual before her followed by a vicious slice.  A frontal slash was dealt and she vanished, forms of herself converging upon the fellow, each with a slash of its own to deal before she reappeared in her proper spot, blades at the ready.

Macha waits.

Not wasting any time, Klein zipped through the air in a flash of light, his swords lighting up the dim area with every brutal slash he dealt to the hovering fireball that was left.  It had consumed itself in a pillar of flame and now grew taller and wilder, the flames licking out of the cage it was confined within.  There was no telling what would happen now; he had to get rid of it as soon as he could.

Henry moves to G5.

"Miss Auza, do be careful," Henry advised as he meandered off to help Klein take down the remaining fireball.  He scratched at his paper with his pen several times, blades of ice shooting towards the fireball and smashing into it causing the thing to wail in agony.  Perhaps it couldn't take the power of his magic?  More and more blades of magical ice soared through the air as Henry wrote.  He only hoped that it would be enough, and that Auza could handle herself for the time being now that the soldiers had finally escaped their bonds.

Macha noticed that Auza was under attack now.  Figuring the one she had been focusing would come after her, she dodged around him and lunged into the man attacking her comrade, blade of darkness flashing expertly through the air with every calculated strike landing, whether on a vital or not was up to chance for the moment being.  "Plan on sealing them down again?  Might make this a bit easier," Macha questioned Auza with a sly grin, not worried for the woman's well-being at all because she knew what Auza was capable of by now.  And with the enchantments she already possessed from Henry, these mortals were doomed.

Klein moves to J7.

The strange black fireball creature began to glow with an aura after it had moved itself into the center of everyone.  There was something telltale about that for sure, and it didn't spell out anything good for the group.  He began dashing towards one of the sealed warriors.  They were adept enough to interrupt their attack chains, but the ones that had been rendered helpless by Auza's chains could do nothing about it.  "It's in your hands," the swordsman whispered to Henry as he passed receiving an affirming nod from the young writer.  The boy knew what had to be done.  Flying high into the air, Klein descended upon the spearman and slashed away with both of his blades, his vision sharper and aims far more true than before thanks to Auza's boon.  Between his and Macha's efforts, this man would not last long.

"A little refreshment before business," Henry said cheerily to himself, scrawling a nice start of a journey for himself.  All of the wounds he received were lessened greatly by his power.  It made it far more bearable though even if he had met an ill fate, his story was far from over.  Focusing on the fireball, he slashed at his parchment with his pen, striking through it and the creature whom he designated as his target.  It would meet its end at his hand.

Henry waits.

"A little bit of teamwork, apprentice?" Macha mused.  Her student was excelling quite well.  The additional blade was a great idea, and he was doing so great adjusting to using both swords.  She couldn't have been more proud.  Preparing her own assault, she breathed out and launched into her plethora of graceful strikes, her blade emanating darkness with each blow.  "Oh we'll have them all kneeling before long, won't we, Auza?" the blademaster grinned playfully, the greatly wounded man before her already brought to his knees by Auza's chains, but there was still the free one that she was concerned about over in the distance--the one that had harmed Henry to the point of near death.

Macha waits.

Klein moves to J5.

Klein was pissed that the warrior survived Auza's onslaught.  What were these people made out of if they were even people at all?!  The swordsman slid across the ground and halted near the sealed foe who would soon be the last one standing, and even then, he did not have long to live at all.  Without blinking, Klein laid into the man with a barrage of slashes, free to be wild with no worries of counterattack.  His combination attack easily transitioned into a stage of vicious jabs, the tip of his sword glowing in a strange green energy.  "There's a nasty little present for this fellow," he said to himself, content with his work.

Klein attacks Hy'tel!  6 hits!  63 Dmg! CRITICAL!!  42 Dmg!  42 Dmg!  42 Dmg!  42 Dmg!  42 Dmg! (ATK)

MP: 4/100

Henry was about to tap into his mana reserves to cast a reactive healing spell upon Auza who had suffered quite a handy bit of damage from the freed warrior, but Vincent gave him a sharp pain in the head to bring him back to reality--he had no mana to expend.  Using more at this point and overdoing it would only lead to his mana cycle being poisoned which would eventually result in death if he continued the expenditure.  Now's not the time to be reckless, fool, the grim reminder came at the sound of Vincent's voice.  Henry nodded and procured a crystal shard that had retained a little bit of mana.  Albeit a small amount, it would certainly suffice.  He held the shard in his hand and let the mana into his body before quickly scrawling what he needed to scrawl in order to see to Auza's injuries.

Macha moves to H5.

"Are the honors mine?  Oh I do hope I can put this fellow in his place," Macha chimed as she gracefully repositioned herself behind the helpless spearman.  Blade gleaming in a malicious darkness, Macha laid into the man with a triage of her fiercest, most precise strikes, however, with that precision would come a terrible counter from the warrior--at least, if he could remain standing after the first blow.

Macha attacks Kan'dil!  3 hits!  83 Dark Dmg per hit!  CRITICAL!! (ATK)

Hy'tel takes 198 Dmg!

HP: 735/1025

Hy'tel is Poisoned!

Kan'dil takes 186 Dmg!

Kan'dil KO!

"Aaaaahhhhh!!! What's happening to me?!!?!!" the spearman screamed as Auza worked her magic on him. There were two conflicting forces inside his head now and he could not continue on as it was. He fell to the floor clutching his head as he struggled with whatever it was that was overcoming him.

With all the monsters and guards down save for one, Macha rushed to the remaining one's aid. It appeared as though Auza tried to take him over but there was something seriously wrong with him. Macha restrained him but he began to convulse, foam appearing in his mouth and spilling over onto the floor and his armor. He tossed his weapon away, his limbs flailing wildly against Macha's grasp.

"Get ahold of yourself man!" Macha shouted in his ear, tightening her grip on the spearman as they practically wrestled across the floor until the man was calm enough that Macha could sit him down and keep him constrained.

"Two...two why two...where's ME?! WHY?! NO!!" the man shouted jibberish before quaking violently. He closed his eyes and his head drooped over. All was silent for a few moments.

"Errrr, is he all right?" Klein ventured to ask, a little disturbed by the events that were unfolding. As if this whole predicament was screwed up enough as it were.

"I'm...I think I'm okay... I'm in the castle aren't I?" the spearman asked rhetorically, lifting his head and taking a look around. It seemed as though Auza's magic had faded, but there was something different about this man now. He glanced at Auza. "You're the one who pushed him out of my mind aren't you? You have my eternal gratitude...your power must be immense to quell that of the Devourer's..."

This came as both something expected and as a surprise. Auza knew that the warriors were being controlled by some sort of possession, so using her own magic to possess the man would bring her into direct contact with whatever else was trying to pin him into submission. "Do not thank me for that," Auza warns, shaking her head. "I was trying to rip possessor out of you, not push it away. If I succeeded in that, you would have died and this Devourer would have been in for quite a surprise. It fled your mind once it realized what was happening." Normally she would try to banish the possession and deal with it that way. It obviously was not directly possessing the warrior, but a portion of it's power still lingered. If it was a demon they were dealing with, a portion of that demon's power would come out and they could destroy it, significantly weakening the real form. If it was a human or some other creature, the act would tear it asunder.

"You must know something about this Devourer," Auza continues, brushing off a bit of dust from her skirt. "We need information. Anything you have can be of help. Who is this Devourer, is he the corrupt king or a demon?"

"Y-yikes I guess I should consider myself lucky then..." the man replied, his body shaking slightly.

"No need to be frightened," Macha cooed in his ear, feeling all of his body's subtle movements. "She's always like that. Tell us what you know."

The man nodded. "That is NOT our king, I know that much," he began. "Our king was killed in a battle against a horrid demon and a magical beast that had arrived in this realm and threatened it. The demon was known as Tentai'tal the Devourer, and the beast it brought with it was the Cosmolith, his faithful pet. Our brave king challenged them both after they threatened to destroy the entire world. Like I said, our king was defeated but he managed to weaken and take away much of Tentai'tal's power leaving him in a vulnerable state. Even in this state, however, Tentai'tal held onto his powerful possession magic and still possessed the capacity to cast terrible spells. He sealed the Cosmolith away, putting on a facade as the rightful king of the Wastes. It was all a trap. Any warriors that were able to kill the Cosmolith he would have brought to the castle and then feast upon their bodies and souls in order to restore his lost power--to rejuvenate him and bring him back to his original form. I'm guessing you were the ones who defeated it, and now he wishes to consume you. Once he does he will eat this world and move on to another. To sacrifice the Cosmolith must have been great. He will be fighting as hard as ever to make sure it was not done in vain."

"I'm afraid that's all I know. He can possess people but I'm not too sure what manner of spells he uses in combat. Just know that if he ever gains his true form, you will be in trouble."

"Then it is a right damned shame I didn't rip him out of you," Auza sighed, then cursed and threw a hand up in the air. She turned around and started to pace, thinking heavily. If any creature or demon thought they could consume or possess her, they would be in for a very unpleasant experience. Swallowing her meant swallowing the whole of Eternia as well, and that is an impossible task for any mortal creature. "His precious Cosmolith was child's play. I'm surprised a beast as weak as that was allowed to stay for so long. Is the magic in this world truly so weak?" Auza stops and looks over to Henry, frowning a little.

"We need to get back to this false king," Auza says, turning to face the warrior once more. "I will remove the magic from his very body and cast it into the Abyss. He will be made as harmless as a minnow. But if I allow you to come with us, you only risk becoming possessed again. If you leave, you may be captured. Since my spell did not kill you, I don't have any intentions of trying. So you will have to stay here, but some direction will be welcome."

"I'll do you one better than that," the spearman said quickly, trying to get to his feet.  Macha let him go and he arose, taking up his spear.  "I know I might get possessed again, but by the time I am, me and most of the guards will be long gone.  I will divert their attention to the farthest part of the estate.  The halls are full of guards.  You'll never be able to fight your way through.  You'll want to ascend the stairs at the end of this hall.  That will take you to the ground floor of the east wing.  Don't go back to the central chamber that leads to the banquet hall.  Instead go east further down the east wing corridor a bit more until you reach a large door.  That door leads to the ballroom.  There are guards there but I cannot grab them for you.  Once you dispatch of them, head up onto the balcony and through the door on the left that leads to the A/V Deck.  It overlooks both the ballroom, and the banquet hall where Tentai'tal awaits.  Do not wait long to go.  My distraction will not last for long."

With that, he took off a surprising speed like a dust devil in the desert.  There was no stopping him and that meant the group needed to go.

"What a helpful fellow.  Looks like we don't have time for a game plan.  We know what to do," Macha purred before taking off in the direction they needed to go with the others in tow.  She kept her blade out and at the ready but as she headed up the stairs and arrived on the ground floor, she looked around and saw the place was vacated.  He had really done it.  She motioned for the others to head down the east corridor first and she fell in line last to keep an eye on their rear but the place was silent.

Upon reaching the ballroom door, they stopped and it opened by itself.  Stepping inside, they found a beautiful room that was definitely fit for a king's ball.  The place was well-lit with man a golden chandelier hanging from the ceiling casting aureate brilliance over the polished wooden dance floor.  White columns lined the edges of the room supporting the magnificent balcony which happened to be their destination.  They took a few more steps along the tiled floor and the doors behind them slammed shut.  A horrid darkness filled the room as two violent spheres of swirling energy appeared in the air.  Two hooded figures wearing violet robes stepped out from behind columns on opposite sides of the room--one from the left and one from the right.  The sound of burning flame filled the room as did a cacophonous chanting.  A couple more of the caged black fireballs appeared floating around.

"Oh dear, these are the guards the spearman mentioned?  Not what I had in mind," Henry said slightly aloof.  He marveled at the strange spheres.  Were they some disastrous spell that was meant to wipe him and the others out.  He could not figure out their purpose.  Perhaps they could be interrupted from casting it?

"Man this is pretty freaky," Klein shot quickly as he drew his blades.  "I don't know what to go after first."

"Be at ease, my student.  It's the thrill of battle to find out what your opponents are capable of.  We are capable of plenty ourselves," Macha stated confidently as she took her battle stance.

"Take care of the chanters first," Auza spoke up to direct Klein's attention. With the way the magic was moving through the air, Auza could tell exactly what was going on with them. She could see the magic forming barriers around the lantern-creatures, protecting them. "It is no illusion, those creatures will not be affected by anything until that chanting stops. I will attempt to silence the casters, but they may have wards in place to prevent that." Wards, enchantments, or other types of protective magic would keep her from silencing them.

"Can do, Auza!  Time to jet!" Klein exclaimed as he leaped into the air and remained there as he drew in light towards his back and blades to the point where wings formed allowing him to remain afloat for good, his weapons primed for doling out some radiant pain.  With his wings ready, he soared through the air towards one of the chanters.

"That's a very strong magic, Miss Auza," Henry commented kindly as he took to scribbling words upon his parchment, granting him and Auza extra powers.  "Stronger than what is typical for this world, I'm sure you know.  I think death will be the only way to truly silence those chanters..."  The thought made him sad but saving enemies hadn't exactly been their primary goal and even if it was most of their enemies had picked their side and there was no swaying them.  To that end they would have to do what they had to do.  If the others had no qualms about it then neither would he.

You sure you don't want to become a necromancer, Henry?  You seem to dabble in death quite a bit.  Those cultists could be of use to you...if only you'd bring them back from the dead under your control, Vincent said nonchalantly in Henry's mind but could feel Henry's adamant refusal of his prospect without the boy having to say or think anything.

Was only a suggestion.

"My, that sounds like those chanting fellows must be ended quite quickly then, am I correct?" Macha cooed as she loosened her stance a bit which was odd for her because her stance and movements were always very graceful and precise.  "Apprentice, I must admit that you have not seen my full potential.  Allow me to show you what you may become should you focus on your craft with absolute and unwavering dedication."  With that, a burst of blasting wind filled the ballroom, threatening to rip the chandeliers from their chains hanging from the ceiling.  All of the wind surged inwards towards Macha, spiraling around her at such velocity that it threatened to rip the skin from her body but she remained steadfast within and concentrated, her eyes glowing a vibrant pink.  She waved her swords outwards through the storm causing it to cease, but she was something else.  Her entire form flickered every now and then as if it were not complete--as if she were not fully corporeal any longer.

"I am not bound by my physical body any longer.  I am the wind now.  And it is time to rip these guys to shreds."

Klein marveled as his master executed a technique he had never seen before.  Macha had become the wind itself and she was ready to wreak havoc.  He hoped internally that he might reach that level one day, but he could only do so one battle at the time, and it was time to focus on this one.

Klein moves to E3.

"You'll have to do better than that!" Klein laughed as the shackles that the chanter summoned merely fizzled from existence when they came into contact with Auza's powerful protection magic.  They really would have to do better than that but Klein didn't plan on giving them a chance.  His light-coated blades flashed through the air as he moved forward launching into a beautifully executed combo attack, the mage clearly at a disadvantage and unable to dodge Klein's swift blows.

Klein attacks Vurlin!  6 hits!  92 Light Dmg!  92 Light Dmg!  92 Light Dmg!  138 Light Dmg! CRITICAL!!  92 Light Dmg!  92 Light Dmg! WEAKNESS!! (ATK)

"I'm not sure, but I have a pretty compelling story for them."

Henry casts War of the Moons on Connor!  61 Dmg! (INT) [Chance of Oblivion]

MP: 37/105

A story of a brother and sister at war with each other.  One had to fall at the end of the conflict, but Henry wished harm on neither.  He wished harm on the chanter.  The brutal war between siblings would hopefully whisk the man away with the sheer power.  It was not a tell he liked to scrawl but this was as good a time as any to do so.  Moving down the parchment, Henry scrawled some notes on a massive source of Mana that was present somewhere in the universe, harnessing its power for him and his allies.

Henry casts The Expanse on Ally Party! [10% Max MP Regen]

MP: 11/105

Henry moves to J3.

"Hopefully that helps a bit too.  I've been doing some studying, Miss Auza.  I think these notes will be helpful to our cause, and I do believe you will agree when you feel it," Henry added with a smile.

MP: 24/80

Macha launched a triage of slashes against the man, but the darkness on her blade seemed to react negatively to him, dulling the effect of her assault but she would not be deterred.  A blazing aura surged along the length of her blade, overriding the darkness and she slashed once more before disappearing and spiraling around the chanter in the air, slashing at him from the cover of the wind.  He would be helpless in her assault.

S-Ability Adrenaline Surge activates! [Bestows Haste]

"You're not the only one who has some skills they've been holding out on, granted I've had to practice this one a lot," Klein said aloud chuckling nervously.  Klein held his blades out in front of him and closed his eyes.  The area in his immediate vicinity grew darker and a strange black aura slithered up the length of the steel of his swords, hissing and crackling.  They hungered.  Opening his eyes, Klein marveled at his handy work, and with his adrenaline pumping, he didn't hesitate to set upon the nearby chanter and attempt to end him once and for all.

"That won't do.  Some refreshment for you, Miss Auza," Henry said.  The vile serpent that had slithered through the battlefield had narrowly missed him but the impact it had on Klein and Auza was evident.  His mana was welling up within him but no quickly enough.  However, his healing was immense as Auza's wounds were healed immediately.

* * *

Macha moves to E7.

"Oh I'll be careful~!" Macha chimed back to Auza, though the sound was oddly muffled as if there were interference.  Macha dashed to her target and launched her assault, the vitals so easy to find with all the power she held.  Her blade found itself lodged in the man's gut, and when she relieved the sword from her target, she disappeared from sight with spectral images slashing the poor man from all directions.

Klein moves to F3.

Klein was feeling rather weak after the lashing from the tendril and the fire from the creature in the cage, but his adrenaline kept him going at top speeds.  He could only hope that Henry would spare him and grant him some relief.  If he kept taking hits like that, he would be out of commission.  Moving back slightly, Klein lined himself up with the last chanter and covered himself in a sphere of light before surging forwards, crashing into the man, the barrier shattering and leaving lingering fragments of light.  Klein leaped back and manipulated the remaining light to form blades to stab the chanter from all around, but Klein was far from done.

"Just hold on, Mister Klein, I've got you covered!"  Henry moved forward and scrawled furiously for Klein's health.  He was managing to hold himself up fairly well but it was only a matter of time before things got to be too much for him.

Macha uses Otherworld Sign! [MP Costs -50%]

MP: 0/80

Macha moved away from the tendril that she had dodged with ease.  She was lucky once but she didn't want to play around with it for now.  Instead, she isolated herself and plunged her blade into the ground forming a glowing glyph beneath her.  She could feel her control of mana grow.  She would need it in order to unleash hell on the caged fireball creatures.

"This is getting droll.  We have bigger demons to fry."

Connor takes 404 Dmg!

Klein moves to G3.

The feeling of a suppressing magic being dispersed was palpable, even to those not versed in it.  The fireball creatures became alarmed as the second chanter fell and all returned to a sense of normality.  The flames lashed out wildly in terror.  Now was their chance to fell them.  Klein slid away from the nearby tendril and unleashed hell upon the nearest caged fire creature.

Henry moves to H5.

"Good idea, Mister Klein.  These tendrils are proving to be rather hurtful," Henry said with his signature grin despite the vast injuries he had sustained.  However, he kept his smile because he knew with just a few words written upon his parchment, he would be well again.

Henry uses Refreshing Start on himself! [+67 HP Recovered]

"There, good as new."

Macha teleports to J8.

"Two nuisances down, and only two more to go," Macha purred as she vanished from sight, reappearing next to the fireball creature that was assaulting Auza and laying into it with a rapid triage of strikes from her blade, darkness emanating from the steel.  Again, it wasn't as effective as she had hoped, but maybe it would deter it from attacking Auza any longer.

Macha attacks Ashes!  3 hits!  24 Dark Dmg! RESIST!  36 Dark Dmg! RESIST! CRITICAL!!  24 Dark Dmg! RESIST! (ATK)
