Scratching his head, Damien spoke, Hey, can you undo what was done to him? Sighing, Matthias responded, I did. Somethings wrong here. What do you mean you did? If you did, why is he still. You know, comatose? I meant the attacks effects have been removed. Whats happening now is that his mind seems to be unable to recover from this. In all of our travels, I never saw someone with this in his head. Well, he better snap out of it soon. Theyre getting their collective ass handed to them over there and his powers could come in handy. Suddenly the masked warrior perked his head up a little, There IS something I could do, but its extremely risky and I might do more harm than good Well, try it anyways Im going to get a killer of a headache when this is over Matthias reached his hands out and held it level over the prone Gulver. His aura flared to life and Matthias began to whisper into the grey-haired warriors mind. Standing up, Damien chuckled, Im going to keep skull-face off our ass while you work Yeah, sure, go away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A swirling vortex enveloped Matthias as he traveled deeper into Gulvers head. Damn it!!!! His mind is falling apart! I need to move fast before he collapses his own soul! But. Why is he doing this? Pushing on, Matthias plummeted even deeper into the depth of the mind. Finally, a wall appeared in front of him, barring his path. Auto defenses? But this wasnt here before! Is he trying to keep me out? Damn it, hes trying to destroy himself NOW! GET OUT OF MY WAY!!! Using his psychic power, Matthias blew through the wall, knocking down the mental defense that was thrown in his way. Reaching a doorway, Matthias reached out for it, it seeming to stretch farther away from him with every inches he move forward. Finally his finger brushed the knob and his surrounding warped and distorted into burning rubble of a major metropolis. Strangely enough, it seemed as if everything was frozen in time, flames stuck into an ornate designs. The hell is this place? His memories? Wait. His homeworld? He remembers this? Wheres the door? Looking around, he saw that the door behind him had vanished, as if there was never a door in the first place. Look like Im not leaving that way Where is he? Looking around he saw no one around. Suddenly his sense told him that he wasnt alone anymore. Spinning around, he saw Gulver curled up into a ball on the ground, muttering to himself incessantly. As soon as his eyes laid sight on Gulver, the entire town suddenly flared to life, people suddenly materializing out of no where, running around in a panic, screaming in terror. Notagainnotagaindontmakemewatchagain Matthias turned around and looked at Gulver. Again? Youve been stuck here, watching this repeat itself? Undisturbed, Gulver continued to mutter to himself. I didnt expect an answer right away, but I had to try at lea- Suddenly he was cut off as a explosion rocked the area behind him. What the hell? Its still here? Nothimnothimdontmakemelookathimagainhecantbetheone Matthias suddenly felt a sinking feeling in his guts as the destroyer steeped through the burning wreckage that was once a building. Oh dear Lasfe. It cant be. Hes Smiling; the destroyer strolled toward the two warriors, dragging a mauled body of a little girl in one hand. What do we have here? The failure. How nice, youve brought company. Well, so did I. Lifting up the maimed body, the destroyer continued. Remember her? Little Stephanie? She was the daughter of the CEO and you were to be her protector, but now Shes nothing more than meat. Just like everyone else here With a cold chuckle, Matthias could feel the dark oppressive aura bear down on him, nearly crushing the life out of him. Dear Almighty So much evil so much hatred. But youre DAMN IT!!! WAKE UP!!!! Muttering to himself, Gulver seemed to be chanting an mutra, trying to block out the sight of the destroyer, hecantbemehecantbemehecantbeme The world suddenly shattered like glass, plunging everything to darkness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With a scream, Matthias snapped awake from his probing, breathing hard. He realized that he wasnt the only one awake. He looked down to see that Gulvers eyes were finally moving around, responsive. My god What have I done? Ive brought back the devil. was all Matthias breathed.

The warrior murmurs a few words to the fire rod as it instantly blazes bright green. She charges foward, flying through the air with Kasei, as a scimitar, in her hands. She throws her strength at her opponents. Any normal attack would not harm them, but the chaos energy engulfing the blade burns through the souls like hot iron through styrofoam. \|With chaos as my guide, I walk the plains in search of a worthy battle....\|
Soul Reaver	Mental Duel	#63	[-]
Posts: 1675 Nov 11 02 4:45 AM The Immortal Brigadier General More My Recent Posts	The undead champions try to strike back at Asaki, making up for their inferior skills with their larger numbers. While most still try to engage Kitharsis and Fei's doubles, others break off to try and oppose the new threat from the rear. Even so, Asaki's ferocious attack begins to take its toll... The electric blast strikes Khora with massive force. The blast causes Khora to stagger backwards, but he only seems disoriented momentarily. Although the ground around him is blackened and he himself is smoking from the heat, his body is well-protected against the heat thanks to his spell... not to mention that his fleshless form does not conduct electricity particularly well anyway. Soul Reaver meanwhile initiates his Dispel Magic spell. Almost immediately it feels like he has slammed his mind into a brick wall. Khora's massive, undead intellect opposes Soul Reaver's efforts at every turn. The spell beneath him seems to tighten into a mesh of steel... frantically, Soul Reaver's mental energies wash over the imaginary surface of the Choke spell, looking for some sort of nick or flaw in the mesh... Khora's eyes seem to narrow as he feels Soul Reaver trying to break through his spell. However, he has more concerns as another glowing blue crossbow bolt zips towards him. Casting another Deflect spell, the bolt explodes in mid air, sending flames whoosing out in a scorching ball of fire. Khora turns just in time to see Sera's two slimy, hound-like minions sliding towards him, while out of the corner of his eye he is aware of Stavarus cocking another bolt - though wounded, the Daemon-Hunter is not likely to give up so quickly. One of the sludge-creatures leaps at Khora, manifesting a mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth as it does so. Khora, with amazing agility, leaps out of the way, his robe swishing just past the creature as it attacks. He places himself between the two creatures, just as Stavarus fires again. Khora leaps several metres into the air as the minions both attack. Beneath him, the crossbow bolt strikes the wall behind the two minions, sending another whooshing cloud of flames out at them. The creature whine and gurgle as the heat scorches their mud-like flesh. With a loud 'flap', Khora unfurls his tattered black wings, beating them once to steer him clear of the two creatures. Still in mid-air, he is chanting a spell... Soul Reaver feels Khora's attention waver for a split second... an ordinary magic-user would have missed this, but Soul Reaver is experienced enough to grab this opportunity as it presents itself. Already Clutchfiend's lungs are billowing with the evil black smoke... if Soul Reaver doesn't succeed soon, he might be too late... Soul Reaver thrusts the anti-magic into the flaw in the spell, like a deadly spear... Khora lands on the ground, his clawed feet clicking when they land. The two sludge creatures, appearing significantly worse for wear, lurch towards him again, claws materialising on their bodies. They run towards him at full speed. Khora completes his spell, drawing his hands apart, a cloud of green gas suspended in the air between them. He blows at it just as the minions leap into the air. The cloud sizzles as it makes contact with the creatures, while Khora rapidly sidesteps. Growling and whining, the minions strike the ground with a wet splattering sound. Their bodies are being melted by the contact with the cloud of acidic corruption. In moments they are nothing more than bubbling puddles of goo. There! Soul Reaver's mind is driving a more and more barbs into the mesh beneath him as he feels it beginning to give. The Choke spell unravels rapidly now, Khora's control slipping as the anti-magic rips it apart. Soul Reaver breathes deeply as he opens his eyes again. The Choke spell is waning, the black smoke dissipating rapidly, allowing Clutchfiend to breathe big gulps of clean, cool air. Soul Reaver reaches up to wipe his brow... sweat beads it from the effort of overcoming a Necromancer of Khora's experience in a Mental Duel. He still feels the mental exhaustion even now. Soul Reaver gets back up wearily. He looks over at Jihon. He was still aware of Jihon's rage, even while casting his spell. "What in Inferno is wrong with you? We have enough problems right now, without you going insane at us!" Soul Reaver turns to face Khora in the distance. He draws Blooddrinker gradually, his fist tightening on the blade. We will get you, Khora!

He stands back up, breathing heavilly and wiping blood from his mouth. He then looks back down at the mess on the floor, recognizing the fact that he had just coughed up his extra lung. He can feel the pain burning inside his chest from where the lung was ripped out of his body. "That fuck! It seems I'm losing body parts left and right anymore. I think it's about time I kicked some- " Cameron suddenly notices Jihon. Seeing the look of anger on his face, Cameron quickly crosses the room. "Jihon? What's the matter with you, man? And where have you been? I was worried about you!"

Posts: 513 Nov 11 02 12:48 PM Recruit More My Recent Posts	Asaki becomes surrounded by six of the undead champions. She raises the scimitar in her hands as they close in. She could easily evade by flying up, but it would simply give them another opportunity to attack. The warrior calmly flips the scimitar so the blade points to the floor. As the undead champions reach their bony hands out towards Asaki, she circles the blade on the floor right in front of all the champions surrounding her. A pale green ring appears before their feet and in the blink of an eye, the ring flashes and a bright green pillar of light shoots up from the ground, incinerating them on contact. Once the column dies down, the warrior flies through the air again and begins to slice through other still standing undead champions. As she does so, she glances at Khora for a few seconds as she passes by him and continues to destroy the champions she brought back to life. \|With chaos as my guide, I walk the plains in search of a worthy battle....\|
Kitharsis	Shimmer of life...	#66	[-]
Posts: 978 Nov 11 02 1:51 PM [Insert Custom Rank Here] Colonel More My Recent Posts	Kitharsis still lies in a heap in the corner. His breathing is very slow and labored. His color fades from the brilliant green to a grey color, looking almost like a statue more than a reptile. But yet, there is still some color on his body. Where the gem rests on his chest there is still green. Inside the gem the magical energies swirl and collect, readying to dispense. Slowly the green fades away though, leaving Kitharsis completely grey. The gem opens its reserve of energy and it washes over Kith. The tendrils of energy soak into his body and rejuvinate him. Groggily he sits up and rubs his head. "I Knew that thing would come in handy sometime or another." Yes, but now you are weak. You cannot possibly fight now. The voice states in his head. Watch me. Kith stands up and looks himself over. The grey does come as a surprise to him, but he cannot be distracted now. Searching the room he sees that Clutch is free of the choke spell and Soul is ready to attack. Asaki is battling the undead champions. And others are doing their thing also. He runs at the undead champions, knocking them over so that Asaki can get a better swing at them. His fists envelope themselves in flame and crush one of them to dust that he just tackled. There are only a few of them left, so Kith leaps at another, receiving a gash in his side. But the undead is left with a bashed in skull and lies in a lifeless heap. The gem quickly soaks up the bone debri left on the floor and stray magical energies floating about that would soon dissipate into the air. "I will do no good against Khora in this state, you seem to be much stronger now also. Let me handle the rest of these and you focus on Khora."

Posts: 1297 Nov 11 02 8:27 PM Recruit More My Recent Posts	Tamrissa shields her eyes as Clutch fills the room with the burst of bright light. She feels one more shadowy claw rip across her cheek and then nothing surrounds her anymore. Slowly, she uncovers her eyes and blinks them open. One of Asakis ancient warriors is standing over her, a spear coming down at her chest. She cries out and rolls to the right, getting to her feet with a firm push of her palms against the floor. Jihon! she thrusts her sword at the undead warrior, eyes catching a glimpse of her recently arrived friend attacking Clutch. She gasps as the blunted end of her foes sword beats into her punctured shoulder twice before she knocks it away. The spell on Fei and the sudden pull of Gulver coming back to the world confuses her momentarily. Her guard comes down and she is hit across the face with the pole of the spear, the Kurusunami skidding across the floor. She falls backwards, somersaulting back onto her feet shakily. Two bolts of green energy hit the ancient foe and she dives for her sword, coming back up to take the head from her opponent in one clean blow as it charges her. Gulver, are you well? she calls into his mind, not realizing that she was still connected to his mind so closely. Hah! she lets out a frustrated yell as two more of the undead come at her. Giving a glance towards Asaki and Kiths predicament, she casts out her free hand. Vines burst from the floor, their leathery whip-like shapes wrapping firmly around the limbs of their foes, holding them long enough to get a good blow in at them. Her own enemies suffer the loss of one or two of their limbs before they release themselves from the grasping plant. Her eyes go to Jihon and Clutch, relieved to see them separate. She fends off her attacks, trying to keep an eye on everybody and listen for any cries for help from Gulver. This must end soon, no matter the winner. They were all becoming exhausted...

That has to be what you're sensing." Cameron allows his armour to dissapear, leaving him in his military uniform. He extends his palms out towards Jihon in a gesture of surrender.

Posts: 1675 Nov 12 02 3:36 AM The Immortal Brigadier General More My Recent Posts	(ooc: I need to let you all know - my exams start tomorrow morning, and they won't be finished until three days later. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to post for the next two nights, although I'll try my very best. Sorry about this. I hope this post will keep you busy for a little while just in case I can't post again tomorrow.) Soul Reaver can already feel the Planar Shields around the Collector's fortress crumbling... it will not be long now before Khora can escape. Roaring, Soul Reaver rushes forwards towards Khora, hoping to slice him in half before he has a chance to cast another spell. Khora, seeing the undead champions being cut down and Soul Reaver advancing, decides he needs to buy a few more valuable seconds to deal with his opponents and make a successful escape. Rapidly murmuring dark Necromantic syllables, Khora makes a wide, arcing gesture at the warriors with his right hand. He unleashes a crippling Pain Wave spell. Soul Reaver's charge falters as his body is gripped by an unbearable, unspeakable agony. All the warriors in the area are struck down by feelings of inhuman pain - it is as if their bodies were ripping themselves apart, as if their organs bursting and collapsing, as if their blood had turned to acid. Every nerve burns in pain, although their bodies are unharmed. Unfortunately, the few remaining undead champions are left untouched by the spell, and they turn on their victims ferociously. In their agonized state, they will only barely be able to defend themselves. Soul Reaver tries to conquer the pain in his body, struggling onto his feet, his teeth gritted and his muscles spasming. Yet he can barely move his legs - he drags himself forward with awful slowness, fully aware that he must hurry, but unable to bring himself to move forward. Stavarus is completely useless, crumpled in a screaming heap near the back of the room. Pleased with himself, Khora turns to the only two threats that have completely withstood his attack - the two doubles of Fei. Kept engaged by a small handful of undead champions, they are unable to defend themselves as he chants a Wither spell. Their shadowy bodies are torn apart by the forces commanded by the spell, their surface shrivelling and then ripping open into gaping holes that weep blackness. Khora clicks his jaw in satisfaction as the spell destroys the doppelgangers in this horrific fashion. Khora turns back to the companions, knowing the pain from his spell won't hold them back for much longer. Eyes flaring crimson, he begins to chant once more...

Posts: 513 Nov 12 02 1:25 PM Recruit More My Recent Posts	Asaki watches Kitharsis as he begins to battle for her. As he makes a request of her, she looks down in time to notice the vines coming up from the ground. She looks back at Tamrissa then hacks down a few more undead champions before she begins to hover towards Khora. Unfortunately, the enemy has cast a powerful spell and the warrior's defense in no longer as strong as it once was. Asaki falls to the floor on her knees, tightly gripping her shoulders. As one of the undead champions bears down on her, Kasei rises from the ground in the form of a massive buzz saw blade and slices through the foe. Undamaged by the necromancer's spell, the fire rod remains the allies' standing defense. It flies around the room, trying its best to keep everyone protected. Asaki looks up at Khora, glaring as her entire body shivers with pain. She finds enough heart to begin to chant a spell as the enemy begins another of his own. She slowly lifts her hands off the floor and speaks in a weak, shaky voice. "Silex inreto." A purple sphere forms in between the warrior's hands as she throws it towards Khora. The sphere lands at the enemy's feet and releases a blinding array of flashing lights. As they die down the ground beneath Khora begins to quake slightly. The stone from the floor burst up and over the necromancer's feet. It continues upwards like pooling lava until it reaches slightly above the enemy's waist, trapping him within the ground. Asaki lowers her arm, breathing heavily and rapidly, hoping that this will buy the warriors a little more time. \|With chaos as my guide, I walk the plains in search of a worthy battle....\|

Posts: 978 Nov 12 02 1:59 PM [Insert Custom Rank Here] Colonel More My Recent Posts	As the vines grow up and entangle the undead warriors, Kith seizes the oppurtunity. Each one being nearly defenceless, he picks them off one by one, crushing skulls and bones that are quickly sucked up into the gem. I did not tell it to do that... I wonder what is going on? The voice stays silent. He reaches the last one, but is suddenly sticken by the pain spell. Kith doubles over on his knees in front of the udead. His defences now lowered, the undead takes the advantage. The old sword slashes down and strikes Kith on the back, slicing his scaly skin and intensifying the pain already felt from the spell. Are you watching? You could learn a lot from this Khora. Did you see how he crippled all of your companions and yourself with one spell? The voice echos in Kitharsis's head. The undead warrior raises its weapon for another strike, clearly aiming for Kith's neck this time. Kith looks up just in time to see the sword being brought down to strike. In an act of desperation, long sharp spikes thrust out of his back and pierce into the undead warrior. They then explode, Kitharsis's mind not being able to hold the form and deal with the pain spell at the same time. The undead is blown to pieces, destroying the last of them. Khora is now the only foe that the companions face.

As he says this, Jharm feels that the agony spell is wearing of, he struggles to his feet and grabs his sword. Holding it in both hands, Jharm charges at Khora, hoping he gets to him in time to stop the spell he is trying to cast. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End" Revelations 21:6

She ducks a swing from one of its swords and swings her leg out; knocking the undeads feet out from under it. As it falls backwards, Yue brings her sword up under its back, slicing the creature cleanly in half. Another undead champion attacks her from the side, bringing its sword down on top of her, she moves but not quickly enough and the sword lodges itself into her shoulder. Letting out a cry of pain she grabs the creatures hand that holds the sword and pushes it away from her, also ripping out the sword. She stands back up and lets loose a beam of red energy that explodes on contact with the undead. Disintegrating it. Yues about to attack another creature until she suddenly drops her sword and falls to her hands and knees as the effects of the pain wave flows over her. She crosses her arms tightly in front of her she tries to stand back up but fails. She curses and glances down at her sword, lying beside her. She reachs her hand out slowly and grips it as tight as she can with the pain. Raising her head up she glares at Khora as the lava hardens around him. Using whatever strength she has left, she hurls her sword at the Necromancer... We are not living, but merely existing out of the fear of dying. ~Yue Kurine

Posts: 1675 Nov 13 02 4:13 AM The Immortal Brigadier General More My Recent Posts	Still casting his spell, Khora has no chance to Dispel Asaki's own incantation. However, he does not allow this new problem to distract him from the task at hand. Even as Yue's thrown sword bounces off his iron-hard body in a shower of sparks, he finishes the chant, and completes his spell. The ground beneath the companions begins to shudder and quake, the flagstones cracking beneath their feet... Soul Reaver curses in the realisation of the spell Khora has just cast... Meanwhile, just after Jharm begins his charge, Jihon initiates the Pain Sabre technique. Khora prepares to defend himself bare-handed. Unable to feel pain or fear, Khora feels no sense of intimidation as the warrior enters the Pain Orb, prepared to fight him. However, he is all too well aware of the disadvantage he is at, being trapped in stone and unable to maneuver himself. Suddenly, most of the flagstones in the chamber shatter into pieces, as thousands of taloned skeletal hands burst from the ground. Khora's Talons of Bone spell rakes at the legs of the companions as the skeletal hands try to pull them down to the ground with unholy strength. Soul Reaver forcefully pulls his leg out of the grip of one such claw, shattering the bone in the process. He slogs onwards towards Khora, the forest of claws ripping at his boots and legs as he walks... Khora crosses his arms above his head to counter Jihon's first swing, the massive blade throwing large chips of Khora's magically strengthened arms into the air. A crackle of black lightning runs over Khora's body from the blow. However, for every split second that passes, the bony talons are tearing away at the rock around Khora's feet, clustering around it and pulling it apart stone by stone. Just as Jihon makes his second swing, Khora burst free of Asaki's spell, leaping above Jihon's blade in the last moment. Grinning, speaks two words in the language of magic. Khora balls his fists, which suffuse with a deep purple glow. Hissing, he sends a lightning-fast jab at Jihon's midriff... Though the punch itself is not powerful, the Fists of Force spell flares darkly as Khora's hand contacts Jihon. Jihon is thrown right off his feet and flies horizontally backwards into a massive stone pillar inside the Pain Orb. The pillar is smashed to rubble and dust by the impact of Jihon's body. Circling warily, Khora hoarsely goads Jihon into further battle. "So, Jihon... perhaps I am not as frail and decrepid as I would first appear?"

Still concentrating as much as possible, Cameron continues to chant his spell. Glowing blue runes begin to appear and dissapear at random around his body as the spell nears completeion. That's it, Jihon. Distract him a little longer so I can prevent his escape. We need that staff!

Posts: 1297 Nov 13 02 12:42 PM Recruit More My Recent Posts	Shattering one more of the undead, Tamrissa looks up as she feels the magic building for Khora's Pain Wave spell. She throws everything into her shields, but to no avail. The spell strikes her without any relief from her own magic. Air is locked out of her lungs, muscles cramp until they bring her to her knees, the cuts and bruises on her intensify their sting and ache, and the punctures in her shoulder and leg widen themselves until blood streams down. As she struggles, the ground beneath her begins to shake in answer to Khora's chanting. The flagstones crack beneath her knees while she claws at her throat, raspy cries of pain bubbling up from her tortured body. Skeletal hands reach up to her kneeling figure and drag her down, helping the effects of the Pain spell by wrapping their thin bony fingers around her neck and digging into her wounds with their tight grips. The color of her once pale face is unnatural and her eyes bulge, rolling wildly. She tries to struggle away from the strong skeletal appendages, but her physical weakness makes it easy for them to hold tight. They manage to flip her over to her back, one of the arms wrapping around her waist and pulling her even closer to the ground. Others manage to hold the rest of her down while the rest try to rip at her soft flesh and stretch her limbs until they pull out of socket. No! a feeble cry in her mind is the first step in releasing her from Khora's power. The second is the circle of vines that rips through the morbidly swaying and grabbing skeleton hands, breaking through to her and tearing her from their grasps by whipping around her and lifting her up gently. Her spelled plants curl and flower as they touch her skin, working with minds of their own as she closes her eyes and leans into their writhing tendrils. Each time the bony limbs tear one of the vines down, another one stretches up to take its place. Her thoughts go to defending herself and the others, desperately shaking herself out of the unconciousness that wants to claim her. The Kurusunami comes to her palm at a mere whisper from her lips. A green glow envelopes it as one of the undead warriors leaps towards her. The bright burst of light that shoots from the end of the sword hits the enemy head on, tearing it apart. She moves tired eyes to find another target, the vines' tendrils curling into her hair and brushing the sides of her face...

You may not be effected that much physically, but the amount of blood you lost... heh heh heh..." The Cat replies to him, approaching him. "I don't think so... I won't let you kill anyone..." Fei narrows his gaze as he feels the beast within coming out. Blood pouring from his wounds as he pulls himself from the ground. As the arms reach out at him, they get covered in the deep maroon substance, being erroded to a pile of sludge all the way around Fei. "I can't let him get to me..... No...." Clenching his fists, the quarter sized holes all the way through Fei's body begin to close, using the very little blood he's holding within. His figure is almost ghostly in it's white shade. Looking over at Tamrissa he shakes his head slightly, a small smile forming across his lips when she's not looking. As the cat begins to crawl up his leg to his chest, he lets out a sudden roar as if the beast has already taken over him. A small trickle of essence pulls itself from it's mouth, and shoots into the Amulet around Tamrissa's neck. The Gem glows brightly with life. The Yuggiti falls to the ground with a loud clank before Fei falls to a pile of ashes to the ground. "Damn it! He got away." The Cat growls falling to it's feet on the ground and vanishing.
