Chapter 70: Basilisks and Dragons.
After killing the Giant-rat the two walk forward and look over the large slide that leads further down into the sewers... It looks slick with sh-- Bodily waste, and neither wants to even attempt it...
Solaire "I know, you're rather upset with me bu-" He tries to finish his sentence but finds himself hurtling down the slide which drops into another area that's waist deep in waste...
Solaire "THIS IS NOT JOLLY AT ALL!" He shouts as his bucket helmet collects faecal matter while sliding.
Reima "That was satisfying..." he holds his nose and tries to shield his face before following his companion.
Reima drops into the waist deep sewage and almost vomits at the smell, Solaire looks at him with shit completely covering his helmet.
Solaire "This... This is not funny." he visibly tries not to gag as he gets a whiff of the surrounding stench. Before he gets a chance to berate Reima a lizard like creature with humongous orange eyes stare at them, it looks similar to a Komodo apart from it's shiny black scales.
The two undead don't move as it slowly waddles closer... Reima during this is freaking out at where they had ended up...
Another pair of eyes appear behind the creature... Then another, and another...
Reima "KILL THEM NOW!" he shouts as the creatures throats bulge in preparation to unleash a large amount of cursed mist. Reima knows what these creatures are and casts the most overpowered Igni he has ever attempted... It blasts through the 7 basilisks completely incinerating them as a wall of fire makes it way through the sewer tunnels. Reima can hear the shreaks of other creatures as the wall of fire he had cast reaches them...
He feels a little drained from casting such a large spell without preparation but is glad neither him nor Solaire are cursed... He hasn't died yet and has no wish of trying.
Solaire "My friend, let me make one thing clear before we carry on... If you push me into another pile of shit again I'll make you wish those creatures had eaten you..."
Reima "Ok, ok... Sorry about that, but it didn't matter anyway as we had to slide down to progress."
Solaire nods at his explanation but is still angry at being pushed, the faecal matter stuck to his helmet only exacerbates things.
The two travel through the maze like sewers killing all creatures that remain untouched by Reima's wall of fire... He also collects some DNA from a basilisk corpse than wasn't incinerated, Reima eventually finds the area that contains the basilisk ambush and after carefully clearing them out picks up the Evil eye ring, it's a ring that heals you for killing enemies, he puts it on and they make their way back up to the room before the BlightTown gate and go through the first door on their right.
They walk out and gaze over the open area from the wall again, the stairs on the right trail down until they end at a fog-gate.
Reima and Solaire prepare themselves before stepping through and gazing upon the giant monstrosity that crawls out of the hole on the other-side of the room. It's body is scaly like a dragons but has a giant mouth where it's torso would be, large fang-like teeth petrude from it's gaping maw... That's probably where it gets it's name from Reima thinks to himself. One thing he didn't notice when playing the game, a small head of what looks like a snake sticks out from it's body... It's beady eyes glare at them as it's malformed claws drag itself towards them.
Solaire "What a strange creature... I'd pity it if it weren't trying to kill us."
Reima "No, even if it wasn't trying to kill us... I'd still have it euthanized." Solaire nods at him before getting his shield ready.
The two advance towards it as they spread out to attack each of it's flanks, the creature moves sluggishly but turns towards Solaire, "nice" Reima whispers to himself as he runs and starts chopping at it's tail. Like most bosses in DarkSouls, strong weapons can be obtained by cutting off their tails for some reason. Solaire is at it's front blocking it's claw strikes with his shield while throwing lightning bolts when it starts to turn towards Reima.
CHOP!
Arcell finally cuts through the tail and the Gaping dragon rolls on the ground in pain almost crushing both undeads. Reima stores the Dragon King Greataxe and the tail in his Folded Space before blinking away as it tries to crush them.
Once it's stopped thrashing it jumps high in the air and starts floating? After a moment of floating it tries to drop onto of Reima who uses the Heliotrope Sign to stop the impact before getting some distance from further attacks.
Solaire isn't idle while they happens and continues throwing lightning bolts at it causing it to shudder as large gashes and wound litter it's large body. It tries spitting acid from it's gaping mouth and manages to clip Solaire on the shoulder with it, it eats through his armour and causes his flesh to sizzle as he takes a swig of his Estus flask to heal the injury.
Reima tries to channel Armament Haki into his sword but only manages to cover half of it, if it were any other weapon using this half baked Haki to strike would shatter it... Luckily Arcell is indestructible and Reima swings it as hard as he can at it's spinal cord after jumping at it, the impact of his strike sends him flying backwards but he manages to slice through it.
It's legs drop and stop moving, even if it was still able to move them, without the support of the spine they can't hold it's body's weight.
It makes a gagging groaning sound as Solaire continues to pelt it with lightning bolts. Eventually it's body stills as it fades away into white dust, Reima absorbs the large amount of souls before looting the humanity and BlightTown key.
Reima "Nice work Solaire."
Solaire "Ofcourse!.. Jolly cooperation and all that... Say is there anywhere to clean off this vile substance?" he wipes the acid mixed with waste material off of his mangled shoulder.
Reima "Youknow, I'm not sure... If we rest at a bonfire it should come right off shouldn't it?" When an undead rests at a bonfire all injuries, poisons and other ailments disappear. The only exception to this is curses.
Solaire claps a hand on his helmet, "How could I forget!... Do you mind using your sorcery to get us to one? I'd rather not stay in this state."
Reima nods and grabs him before teleporting to the last bonfire they rested at.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Niggross
Niggross What is the Gaping Dragon anyway? Some sort of lizard that was fused together with dragon scales due to the chaos flame from Izalith?
Also, the P.atreon is up. I'll try not to spam links but it'll be in the description so if anyone wants to buy me a drink or something then I'd appreciate it, as I said in my last post, it's up to you guys what benefits are provided... I'll note here that I'll probably not provide bonus chapters, 3 a day is enough for me not to burn out.
