*A thin, branch-like hand swipes the arena and when the beams hit the hand small flashes emit as the spells are blocked and the rattle gets louder when some hit the entity*
Hmmm…
*it slowly reveals itself to be a spider-crab hybrid like creature that has many hands with two smaller hands spinning string*
Y’know? Despite its looks, it’s most closely related to beetles!
*the larger hands move, making signs and spell circles form with pinging sounds and spike shoot out from them*

@Path

How would you even know that?
*Casts a Lesser Gate spell to warp above the creature*

*the armor drops and you hear a metallic rattling as the rest of the walls is quickly absorbed by me and the color of the room changes from a water textured rainbow of colors to red and a massive figure is slowly revealed above us*

@Path

Alright... found the room boss.
*The array of beams retargets and aim at a single point on the figure*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

*you notice that magical strings snap from your attack with a echoing pop and get scattered when impacting the walls*

@Path

*They fracture into another five spells each*
Lily and I worked on this technique together.
*Each of those five split into another five, creating strands of concentrated magic beams that raze the arena*

I have a feeling she’d be really in a disadvantage here, you’ll see.
*in a wave of energy the the mana of the room begin to flow into me and is passed into you*
Go crazy.

@Path

I doubt that, but—
*The circles populate with a basic beam spell*
Let's try this.
*Fires several arcs of magical energy at the walls of the arena*

Myriad Reality

She never asked.
*places my hand on your back*

@Path

She'd also be better here.
*Preps spells by summoning generic magic circles at my fingertips*

You seem like you’d be fine but I will remind you to keep your mind in line. What I will do tends to make those who are not used to receiving such amount of mana go crazy and they make mistakes. I will only be a conduit for you.
*touches the wall and my body’s veins and eyes glow*
You ready? Cause this creature will be a tough to kill.

@Path

I expect as much.
*Looks back*
Lily's going to hate you for not doing this for her.

Step back to me, I’ll disable the armor. I need to establish a connection with you to fuel you.

@Path

*Steps into the shadows and emerges next to you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

I can, but I’ll be using this mana to copy it.
*points to the walls*

@Path

*Whistles*
You're something else. Okay.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

I’m forcing mana into you, you cast the spells.

@Path

You can copy our mana?
