Artifact

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*My other fist erupts through the explosion, slamming into your jaw while my grip holds fast*

@Valiance

*Warps backward to a distant orange crystal immediately after your punch makes contact, holding my right hand to my mouth, which partially obscures a trickle of blood across my chin*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Lets go of my hand the moment you do, my blade disappearing with a voxelating effect, and I grab you by the throat suddenly with crushing force*

@Valiance

*Swings my body on the fulcrum and kicks you in the chest, triggering another red crystal explosion*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Grunts as my hand lights on fire in your mouth, blasting it with a cascade of fire while twisting my hand free*

@Valiance

*Winces and bites down until the flames are too hot to bear and released your hand, gouging spirals into the flesh*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Puts more force into the clash this time, forcing you beneath me as I follow up with a swift yet brutal knee to the gut, punch to the face and kick to the chest to knock you away*

@Valiance

*Opens my mouth during the punch, revealing rows of slotted triangular, razor-sharp teeth that I use to bite down on your hand, while at the same time using the distraction to pull my sword into your side*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*The explosion envelops me, and just a moment later I come rocketing out of the explosion at such a speed that I dash my sword diagonally across your body in an instant*

@Valiance

*The light from the turquoise crystal envelops my hand and I jam it against your blade, summoning my own in my other hand*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Shields my face from the explosion and blasts around the area between the gems, slashing them and crushing them in my hand, not only targeting the turquoise ones*

@Valiance

*When you approach an orange gem, it teleports my sword to its location, now equipped with a red gem, and impales you with explosive force*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*It contacts nothing and passes through*
I’m not a person~
*Sticks my tongue out at you*

@Magnanimity

*Clenches my fist, activating the gem's effect after it passes through you*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Flips my blade around and slashes the nearest one in two*
Won’t lie and say they aren’t.

@Valiance

*Scowls*
You should know better than to touch a dragon's treasure.
*Several turquoise gems turn to face you and stream a similar-colored beam into your body*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

I see why too.
*Flips around and takes stock of all the gems scattered about while in a defensive stand*

@Valiance

*Claws at one and turns it in my around in my hand*
Beautiful, aren't they?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Roland!
*A blue, pixelated barrier materializes itself, causing the blade to slip off the armor millimeters from its surface*
Pick your guard up, she’s fast!

@Magnanimity

You're going to be a problem.
*Flings a red gem directly at you, which violently explodes on contact*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Brings my own massive blade over with surprising grace to parry the strike, and brings my other elbow down onto your torso in the same motion*

@Valiance

*One of the orange gems behind you blinks and I teleport to its position, thrusting my blade into your lower back*
