"
Whoa." That. was. a fortress, alright. "
Don't suppose you accounted for that, Damien?" Tornado supporting the beast into the air. Imposing, red-gemmed exterior walls. Amazing. It gave her a bit of a spoop, but she had to stand firm. She'd been chosen to represent her guild. She'd have to live up to the expectation.
But just what were the expectations? "
Or that. Nolan!" Trinity called after him, with Penny, before the fire mage took off after the smoke user. "
And we're off! Sorry, Damien. Energy Make, Flight Gear!" Glowing boots and gloves wrapped her feet and hands, and a pair of rigid wings with some kind of turbine on them sprouted from her back. She took a power crouch before bolting into the air, the turbines bursting to life and carrying her away.
And they charged straight into the enemy's field, it seemed. Trinity couldn't fly as fast as Penny, but she wasn't too far behind. "
Energy Make, Spiked Shell!" She caught up in time and put up a defensive barrier between them and the oncoming assault. As the rocks impacted her shield and became lava coating it, she spun the barrier, flinging the super-heated material away.
A searing laser joined the assault. The minstrel had dealt with a fire user recently, but lava and lasers were a little different. The lava was earth, super-heated to a molten state. It was more difficult for her to deal with because it was based on solid matter, not something less physical. The laser was a concentrated energy attack. That, she could handle, but this would overpower her and break through if she wasn't careful. Where the laser struck was left glowing more brightly, as though heated.
"
Oooh, jeez. Hurry up and do somethin', will ya? This is tough."
