That is the penultimate goal of self defense combat against a giant freezer bird. Make sure you follow your own advice.

@GalaxyRaider

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

It doesn’t have to be said, but don’t get yourself killed.

@System

*Shoots one spear of ice below me, causing trees of magic circuits to crawl against the ground and up anyone they touch*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

As long as I don’t run out of power. A few.

@GalaxyRaider

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

How much power do you have?

@System

*Shoots another beam that splits and trails both of you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Tch.
*Points up near you, and in a much more thin and concentrated beam, what us functionally a fire laser fires off from it past you, and I redirect the aim of it so that it cuts through you diagonally*

@GalaxyRaider

*Each half slips an inch in either direction and leaves a barely-perceptible gap between the two pieces—a matrix of ice expands to fill the space and leaves a scar of ice across my figure*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

I promise I'll do my best!

@GalaxyRaider

*Shoots a beam of frost between both of you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Sure wish I had my fire weapons on me!
*Shields myself from the explosion and then seems to teleport in front of the bird, smashing it with an oversized fist*

@Techspert

*Magic circuitry spiders across the weapon and detonates, blowing you backward and taking your arm with it*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

We have to melt this sucker down.
*Sticks my arm straight out, the tip of my gauntlet’s index finger popping open and igniting like a blowtorch before explosively rocketing off a huge blast of fire in the bird’s direction*

@GalaxyRaider

*Rears my head back and meets it with an equally potent beam of ice, which meets your attack halfway and holds for a brief moment before erupting into an explosion of fire and ice that encapsulates the room*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Once I realize there’s a pattern, I dash out of the entrapment*

@GalaxyRaider

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Kicks off one of the spires and dodges*
The terminal is stuck, so server-deleting this isn't going to be an option!

@System

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Kicks off of one to avoid the attack just before it completes*

@Techspert

*Shoots a beam of ice at the pattern, which transfers energy between the outer spires like an infinity symbol, and pulses continuous frigid force through the room as visible blue lines*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

Not that I can tell? It's hard to say, but I haven't done much since he did it until now.

@GalaxyRaider

*Shoots twelve polygonal spires of ice into the ground around the three of you, forming two hexagons with one spire of overlap between them*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

Wooah!
*Slashes at the talon as I fall sideways off the podium, knocking it over and landing on my back*

@GalaxyRaider

*The blade digs into my leg, which is connected by another line of magic circuitry—I twist and launch into the air, shooting a spike of ice into you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*Jumps atop the podium to avoid them, wobbling a bit*
Shoot!
*Unsheathes the arm blade in the bit of armor I’m wearing and points it at you, electricity arcing through it briefly before it rattles of a bolt of lightning at you with a small boom*

@GalaxyRaider

*Swoops below the bolt with renewed speed and lurches at you with a talon*
