She managed to keep the barrier up for another ten seconds, but the constant attempts to break through it drained her too much. "Damn it." she said with half closed eyes, then the barrier fell as she lost consciousness due to blood loss.

"Charging?"

I assumed it was normal sword slashes and and bullets. She's survived a lot of damage before, but she's pretty weak right now. If she doesn't get medical attention soon, she'll bleed out.

edit: Technically it should be energy weapons shots, like Star Wars blasters. But I didn't realize they were using charged attacks. He did charge a sword swing, but isn't that only one attack before returning to normal?

Not sure what a fireball would do to him.
Really just hoping to buy time. Maybe for a recovery spell (if she thinks it will buy here several minutes), or for a dragon slave (if only 10-15 seconds.)

Lina fell from the air, multiple slashes and a bullet wound causing her to bleed out. She knew she had to buy time for a recovery spell if she was going to survive this, so she threw up a barrier. Further attacks and blood loss were sapping her strength too quickly. She needed to drive him away quickly.

Making sure to keep the barrier up, she sighed. 'Well, at least I'm immune to my own spells.' she thought as she launched a fireball at the man, the most powerful spell she thought she could use in time.

She can only fly at maybe 20-30 mph, so you can outrun her. It's not that clear in the CS.

Lina held up her hand a created a defensive barrier. With no time to prepare it, though, it was too weak to block them all. The four off-target rounds ricocheted off, but the one on target made it through, barely missing her outstretched hand and shattering the decorative shoulder-guard on her left side.

She knew she wouldn't have time to cast anything she had to chant for, nor could she spare the concentration for anything very powerful, including a barrier that was impervious to his attacks, while flying. "Ray wing!" she shouted, accelerating away from the man. Hopefully she could get enough distance to charge something bigger.

Lina looked her opponent over, sizing him up. Armor, or maybe he was part golem. Both a sword and a gun, which meant that he was probably good with both. She was decent enough with a sword, but he would have a serious reach advantage. If she could buy some distance, though, she could fight him at range where her defensive barrier could block his bullets. Hopefully.

She put one hand behind her back and pulled back the one she hand offered as a handshake. "In that case", she said, charging a light spell in her hidden hand, "may the best one win."

She stuck her now revealed hand in front of his face and yelled "lighting", hopefully blinding him long enough to get away. She didn't bother checking, however, as she yelled "levitation" and began flying straight up.

"So I see they got you too." Lina said, looking at the man that was much taller than her. "Lina Inverse," she said, putting out her hand so he could shake it. "I get that you don't want to be here, but from what they told me when they abducted me, we won't die if we are killed. Whatever god or monster grabbed us will bring us back, and we'll be rewarded for fighting for its entertainment. So we may as well have fun and try and get rich."

Lina Inverse

Lina Inverse

"Where monsters rampage, I'm there to take them down. Where treasure glitters, I'm there to claim it. Where and enemy rises to face me, victory WILL BE MINE!"

Personality: A bit self absorbed and greedy, but she sticks by her friends. Sometimes she'll attack people when she gets mad at them, but won't kill them just for annoying her.

Bio: She's had quite an eventful life. Even thought she grew up fairly normally as the daughter of a merchant, learning the trade, she and her sister learned Sorcery, and she proved to be a prodigy. She sat out on her own at 14, making a name for herself as a bandit killer and Sorceress, and eventually met several people and formed a team.
With her group of friends, she's fought one of the seven pieces of the dark lord Shabradigdo, hidden within the eyes of a blind priest. After defeating it, they searched for the Claire Bible, a source of infinite knowledge, in Lina's case to find the knowledge she needed to defeat high-level monsters. They eventually found it with the help of a Monster named Xellos and a golden Dragon, and was able to gain the information to perfect her Ragna Blade. She used this knowledge to fight two powerful monsters, Gaav and Hellmaster Phibrizzo, though neither of them died from this blade. Gaav was killed by Phibrizzo, and he, in turn, was killed by the Lord of Nightmares when Lina was possessed by it after casting the Giga Slave.
The barrier which had sealed her people in collapsed upon their death and she on a boat for the outer lands when Lucien grabbed her.

Spells/powers:

No chant required spells:

She's used them enough that she no longer needs to chant the spell for them unless unable to concentrate or seriously injured.

• Lighting: A glowing ball of light held within the palm of her hand.
  "Light which burns beyond crimson flame,
  let thy power gather in my hand!
  LIGHTING!"
• Recovery: A minor healing spell that accelerates a target's natural regeneration. Energy comes from the one being healed, so it may exhaust or kill them.
  "Oh, blessed and humble hand of God, life and breath of Mother Earth, come before me and show your great compassion and deliver us: RECOVERY!"
• Levitation: A flying spell that lets you fly as fast as a person runs.
• Elmekia Lance: A beam of light that only effects beings of the astral plane like demons and ghosts. Fairly weak.
• Frost arrow: An arrow made of frost, that freezes where ever it strikes.
• Flare arrow: An arrow made of fire, that can bounce off of solid surfaces and burns the target.
• Fire ball: A ball of fire that explodes on impact.
  "Oh, source of all power,
  light which burns beyond crimson,
  let thy power gather in my hand.
  Fireball!"
• Defensive barrier: Blocks incoming damage, but drains her as much as casting a spell that damaging would.
• Ray Wing: Fast flight, but burns a lot of energy, so it tires her quickly.

Chant required:

• Bram Gush: The spell creates an arrow of wind, which is shot at a target and bursts upon contact (or at the caster's choosing), shredding the target to pieces. An extremely lethal spell which has the power to blow a hole through a brick wall.
  "Wind which blows across eternity, gather in my hands and become my strength! BRAM GUSH!"
• Dragon Slave: An explosion of energy which was taken from the most powerful of the beings that drove the gods from the world, the dark lord Shabranigdo. Large enough to destroy a city. Originally called the "Dragon slayer".
  "Darkness beyond Twilight,
  Crimson beyond blood that flows,
  Buried in the flow of time,
  I pledge myself to conquer
  All the foes who stand
  Before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hand.
  Let the foes that stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I possess!
  DRAGON SLAVE!"
• Giga Slave: Draws on the power of the Lord of Nightmares, the primordial being of chaos that created the monster race. If she loses control it could destroy all life on a world, or even the world itself. Successful casting can create an attack of black energy that destroys any being it hits, or it may allow the Lord of Nightmares to possess her body. Completely drains the user of magical energy.
  "Darkness beyond blackest pitch
  Deeper than the deepest night
  Lord as vast as the largest ocean
  Colder than the coldest ice
  King of Darkness who shines like gold upon the Sea of Chaos
  I call upon thee and swear myself to thee.
  I stand ready to bear the strength you give me.
  Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed
  By the power you and I possess!
  GIGA SLAVE!"
• Ragna Blade: Concentrated energy from the Lord of Nightmares, in the shape of a twohanded sword. It is said to be able to cut through anything, but can be resisted by powerful enemies and places a great strain on the user.
  "Fragment of the Lord of Nightmares,
  Release thy heavenly retribution
  Blade of cold, black nothingness
  Become my power, become my body
  Together, let us walk the path of destruction
  And smash even the souls of the Gods
  RAGNA BLADE!!"

Equipment: Demon's blood Talismans
A set of jewelry, two bracelets, a necklace and a belt buckle, that tap into the power of the lords of the four planes. When activated, boosts the maximum strength of their spell by 4 to 5 times.
"Lords of the Darkness and all Four Worlds,
Following thy bonds of fate;
Merge all thy power,
Grant unto me greater power!"

Also a short sword and various magical ingredients hidden inside her cape.
