Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Faster than any other piece of my body, the bone regenerates around the heart almost as fast as you remove it, and I, now fully-formed, charge at you, the entire land quaking with each step*

@System

*Raises my arm while standing my ground with my hand still grasped around the heart, fully encased as is, and brings it down on the top of your head with a loud, explosive wack when you are in range of me with enough of a shockwave that it dislodges the very foundation of the walls around us*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The bones explode in order to reform my body piece-by-piece around the heart, using you as a springboard and unloading the requisite energy required to reach that speed into you directly*

@System

*The energy shatters through the fully-calcified armor plates, yet still crumble themselves with little effect against my bare skin and the sheer density of my muscles*

<Snipped quote by System>

*Slides under your form and punches upward in a burst of speed toward the now-indistinguishable heart and kicks upside down into your form, knocking it like a ball away from you and toward Roland*

@Artifact

*Breaks away from my current position and toward the orb with a boom, blasting the bone to pieces as I snatch the hard with a swipe straight through its container*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The fragments between the two of you also cling when you touch them, slowing you down further*

@System

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

<Snipped quote by System>

Combat brilliance!
*As soon as you draw near, I take off in the path you left behind free of the fragments*

@Artifact

*When I slow down enough, I come to a halt myself, and I start to flex my muscles, causing physical strain on the fabric beneath my armor to become audible as it stretches tightly and tears at the material attempting to bind me with unreasonable brute force*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Thousands of fragments cling to you and pull back on you like netting, slowing your momentum*

@System

*Flips around and strains against the manifested webbing, before turning and instead launching myself like a bullet directly at Faering*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

<Snipped quote by System>

*Without moving to avoid touching another fragment*
There's the heart.
*The mist rushes toward a distant, marginally pulsating orb of bone, causing it to shining a vibrant green amidst the haze*

@Artifact

*Drops the head and turns back toward the orb, and with a grunt and no hesitation, kicks off of the ground toward it in a blur*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Guards my face with my wrists, embedding the thorny shards in the scale plating of my arms*

@Artifact

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*With an ear-piercing crack and an eerie whistle resulting from the sound of air rushing through the rest of the decomposing skeletal structure, my body explodes resulting in razor-sharp shrapnel shredding the land around me and then hovering, suspended midair*

@System

*Guards my own self by turning my back and covering my head, letting the shrapnel hit the armor plating that covers my body*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Flies into the creature’s leg at top speed, shattering it from above you*
Go!

@Artifact

*Kicks off and pulls myself to my feet with momentum as I rocket out from under the dragon in the direction of its head, grabbing at its neck with both hands in an attempt to tear its head from its body as I go*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Lifts my foot and stomps on you in the moment of confusion, the wind from the attack speed ripping away at the ground beneath you*

@System

*Catches the foot in both hands as I fall into the earth-turned-rubble at my back*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*My head jerks back from the impact and bellow a low gurgle instead of a roar, summoning hands to burst from the ground and grab onto Roland's legs with unexpected strength*

@System

*They grab me out of a slide, as I slide on my back across the ground as a result of the explosion, and I kick my feet in a jerking motion away from the arms*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Pulls upward and whips around, lurching at you with my gaping maw, the toxic breath concentrated enough around my mouth to pierce the illusionary mist*

@System

*Clenches my fist tightly very quickly again, and releases a small burst of plasma into the oncoming gas, igniting it and inducing an explosion between us that chain reacts all the way back into your throat from where it came*
