Khora suffers blow after blow from the warriors.
Soul Reaver's crimson lightning sizzles into Khora's body with a deadly jolt, the energy throwing Khora back several metres, causing him to stumble as he tries to regain his balance.
Jihon's unexpected strike is largely warded off by Khora's Stoneskin, yet before he can recover, two glowing hot nets from Tukedo wrap themselves around his body. Hissing and smoking, Khora seizes the nets in his fingers and tears them off... but clearly the assault took its toll.
Yet just as he is free of the nets, Khora looks up to see a glittering image of Kitharsis hurtling towards him. Before he can move, the image strikes him head on, smashing him backwards, further tearing his wings and almost throwing him to the ground.
Just then, Jham's assault strikes Khora just above where his heart would have been... if he had one. Another explosive blaze of power billows around Khora as the angel hurls him to the ground, the angel's legendary strenght shattering through several steel-hard ribs.
However, Khora, smashed and bruised, feels no pain, only a waxing anger. His dark mana seems to bubble up inside him, and his eyes turn towards the incoming form of Kanshisha. Despite being weakened, Khora calls on his reserves of power and beats the warrior back, landing a punishing blow of his own.
Yet his victory is short-lived. The moment Kanshisha is thrown clear, the Necromancer, his strength almost drained, turns to see a glowing green and black sphere hovering above Tamrissa's hand. In moments, it is launched at him, plunging into his chest and swallowing him in yet another explosion.
Soul Reaver now stands before the billowing cloud of black smoke left after Tamrissa's attack. For a while the smoke continues to drift gently upwards.
Perhaps it is over...But then, there is the faint clacking of claws on stone... and slowly, Khora re-emerges from the smoke.
The Necromancer it badly wounded - his jaw looks dislocted, his skeletal body is chipped, scratched and scorched. One of his wings is broken, dragging uselessly on the ground behind him. The Necromantic powers around him seem to dim and flare randomly, as he struggles to maintain his spells. He babbles madly as he advances, his glowing eyes seeming feverish.
"No... it cannot be...
I was promised victory... he SHOWED me the rewards... so I cannot lose... I cannot..."
The glow in his eyes seems to focus. Gripping the Staff of Ashara in both hands, he lowers the point towards the companions. His eyes burn into Asaki's as he screams at her and all the other warriors.
"No! I will not lose to you! You're blind opposition to these forces... your allegiance to your powerless 'good'... it has damned you all!! If I am to die, you will all die with me!!"
The Staff in Khora's taloned hands begins to give off an audible hum, and begins to glow, crackling power coursing down the lenght of the shaft...
(ooc: Asaki, now its your turn to finish him. Make this good and fatal... but not so fatal that Khora can't get a word or two out before he expires. Thanks.
