Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Looks past your shoulder for a moment*
You have no redemption!!
*Every drop in a splatter of black blood from behind you sharpens into spikes that impale you at high speeds*

@Fractured

*They impact my personal shield and launch me toward you, and I fire relentlessly at you as I do*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Swings a club of the black blood into your chest from a distance with enough force to break ribs*

@Fractured

*Ducks under the club, turns and fires into the club twice, then slashes the club in the exact location the bullets impacted with a knife, severing the weapon*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Screams*
STOP!
*Swings my other arm into you and knocks you into the wall*

@Fractured

Tch.
*Crashes into it on my back and slides down onto my feet*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*The shots blow my arm backward and knock several craters into my arm on contact*
Wha—

@Fractured

*Finds the first crater I can and rams one of the devices into place*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Hunches forward with my arms dangling*
Night is flashing and falls on top of...
*Charges toward you and swings the scythe at your neck*

@Fractured

*Leisurely dodges back, reading the attack well before its execution, and fires at your arm holding the scythe with superhuman precision and speed, unloading several dozen rounds in an instant*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*The black blood splatters outward into a disk that blocks the knife*

@Fractured

*Resheathes it and waits*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*My head snaps toward you and I punch you in the chest*

@Fractured

*Parries, points the gun and fires into your elbow, then draws a knife and stabs it into the wound*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Their behavior appears to follow more complex patterns than raw, animalistic reactions. I'll note that in the log.

@Etcetera

As long as it doesn't stop working.

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*The blood forms into a solid scythe in my hands that I swing into your chest*

@Fractured

*Bursts forward tot dodge the blade and ducks under the handle*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*Pillars of black blood intercept the bullets and another shoots into your shoulder*

@Fractured

*It once again impacts without penetration and hurls me into a wall*
All of a sudden, it’s not afraid to take some hits. I hope it’s not adapting.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

*It flattens and surrounds the barrier*

@Fractured

...
*The barrier explodes outward from my person for a brief moment to give me space, and I dash forward, firing rounds at your knees*
