The brothers looked with wide eyes, as the infernal creature seemed to not only catch the crossbow in short notice, it was now threatening to skewer them with the failed bolt, waving his hand menacingly. And then, a magical explosion. The arm was no more, frozen and pinned against a wall.
And the beast's regeneration was failing. The magic seemed to have worked against the creature. Bobd and Bõbd had no time to capitalize on the staggering blow, however, as a half crazed madman lifted and tossed the vampire. Was that an Iron Rose? He seemed to be more crazy than their own sister, and that was saying something.
However, Bobd couldn't help but smirk at how the vampire was finally taking hits and wounds, even though they were fastly closing. He had taken back his sword after the attempt with the crossbow. It was ill-fated however, as he found himself in front of the pissed off savagery of the vampire. Luckily, he was a far shot from a defenseless maiden, and he could put his shield up to offer resistence, even if he staggered quickly against the beast.
A second shield soon joined the struggle, as Bõbd joined shoulders with his brother, defending against the attack. It bought time for the two to retreat, just as the Iron Roses renewed their attack on the vampire, without any kind of warning or consideration whatsoever.
Don't they even know of teamwork? One of the two mumbled about, while they once again began to flank the beast,shields up, ready to leap with their swords at its head whenever the vampire faltered...
Sult eyed the scene unfold before her eyes, as she spared a blank stare at Marianne. "I can't believe you had not noticed that earlier in the party." It escaped her lips, as briefly the sheer klutziness of the Delacroix overtook the battle in Sult's mind. Thoughts that were yanked quickly, as the battle raged on once more. Two conspirators were there. The hostage was there. Well, that was easy. Barring the undead, crazy lightning mages, and necromancers. Sult couldn't help but pick up the hesitation of the little Nem assasin when seeing her own sister.
There was a time... in which she knew what was to have a sibling.
And not that obnoxious Nero.
Who seemed to be positively delighted at the situation, as he poised himself for the attack. "Oh, we're reaally sorry." He taunted to the lightning mage. "Was that Caloh fellow your brother? Your Lover? Both?" He finished, doing a flourish with the sword.
Sult almost resisted the urge to facepalm. Granted it was a good quip, but the timing could not be worse. With Marianne and Nero attention's on the caster, and Tyaethe pulling some sort of strange stunt without touching the enemies that had been sent towards the group, The skeletons were heading quickly towards Tilli and herself.
"Okay, time to reveal one of the big cards." Sult sighed to herself."Tilli, go fetch your sister when I make an opening." The blue haired lady breathed deep, and as if invaded by an inner peace, she raised her blade vertically above her head.
Gently, but ominously, her own hair began to sway and float, as flickers surrounded her armored form, her mana herself finally starting to leak outwards.
And the skeletons drew closer.
The flickers began to appear more frequently. Of a golden, and white kind of nature, they began to dance in circles around the sword. Sult's eyes were closed, her lips whispering a prayer.
"O, holy Reon. Grant thy humble servant the power of thy scorching flame."
The flames ignited around the sword, flickering faster, as the mana output tinged Sult's surroundings of a golden color. Like the very fires that were manifested in her sword, of an unearthly white with golden highlights.
One skeleton lunged at her.
Only the cinders and half molten armor remained after the first strike.
"Now go." She whispered to Tilly, as beads of sweat began to appear in her forehead. She could feel the weight of all her slacking, her sins during her training as priestess cramping and slowing her body, as the Holy Flames of Reon kept eating her mana while engulfing her sword.
And she lunged forwards towards the skeletons, her fire leaving white trails of holy magic.
I won't be able to keep this for long, so be quick!
