Kapitel 97: Demon got back?

Reima after enchanting his sword with Crystal, eating a healthy dose of Green blossoms and equipping the Flame StonePlate ring jumps onto the stone floor which promptly collpases under his weight... How it didn't collapse under the previous giant demons, he'll probably never know. He falls down the hole and heavily lands, he hears deep breathing like he was listening to some weeb masturbate... Looking up he sees the familiar face of the Asylum demon... Except this one has embers drifting from it's mouth... JUMP! He leaps away and a torrent of fire envelops his previous location.

It's so intense that some of the stones that comprise the floor are melted into lava.

Reima "Yeah, well two can play at that game!" He shouts and throws a Great Chaos Fireball at it's face... It seems to hurt it but not as much as he was expecting, it must have some sort of fire resistance. He starts charging up a Crystal Soul spear but is interrupted as it swings it's giant stone hammer across horizontally, he has to blink away to dodge the wide strike and stabs at it's ankle causing it to roar and try and sit on Reima... Needless to say, become a demon butt-plug is not on his to-do list so he rolls backwards to avoid it's unconventional attack.

It slowly tries to get back up and so Reima slashes it's mangled stone butt cheek causes deep cuts to form, the demon deciding that sitting down won't do much drags it's huge weight around and tries to swing it's hammer at him again, he ducks under it as it slams into the wall causing the entire asylum to shudder, bricks from above drop down making Reima worried if he's going to be buried or not.

While the Demon tries to recover it's Hammer from the wall Reima leaps a few metres into the air and lands on it's shoulder before delivering a face shattering kick to it's monstrous looking teeth, his steel plated leather boots are heavily damaged by it's teeth but they stay intact as his foot destroys it's dentistry. The Demons head jolts back as if struck by lightning and holds it's face in pain, it drops it's hammer and tries to swat him off which it succeeds at. Reima lands roughly on the floor after escaping it's flailing arms, it's beady eyes look at him in extreme anger, it doesn't seem to appreciate having it's teeth rearrange down it's throat... It's bloody mouth starts to glow orange warning Reima of the incoming danger, he casts a powerful Quen shield before ducking behind some stone debris.

The whole room heats up tremendously as fire envelops almost everything, Reima watches behind his shield as flames lick the stones around him causing them to deform and glow red, the flames threaten to break his shield as the Demon eventually stops spewing fire. Reima peaks over the debris to check the situation and sees it still glaring at him, although by the movement of it's chest, it seems to be out of breath.

Taking advantage of this Reima blinks below it and slams Arcell into it's knee cap causing it to try to stomp him with it's hammer, he blinks behind it's other leg and stabs the back of it's knee causing it to finally drop to it's knees, it's legs no longer being able to support it's massive weight. Deciding it's time to try finish this he leaps up to it's shoulder again and tries to stab it in the eye, it bring a hand up to try an block it but he blinks to the other shoulder and successfully removes an eye.

It roars and falls to it's back as Reima maintains his grip before making his way to it's chest, it's stubby arms try to reach him but it doesn't manage to... It starts charging up a flame attack again but recognises a familiar blue shape hovering above it's chest... Reima had just finished conjuring a Crystal Soul Spear and was preparing to launch it into it's heart, he looks at the panicking demon with a grin before allowing the Spear to strike.

Shoo!

It makes it's way through it's stony skin and pierces it's heart, it releases a feeble groan as it starts to fade away into white mist. Reima absorbs a large quantity of soul and spots some loot on the ground, after wiping the sweat of off his brow he picks up the slab of titanite giving a bright smile while he does so. This should be enough to upgrade his armour, well, it depends on whether or not Andre wants to. He shakes his head, the only thing keeping Andre from going hollow is his love of

smithing, of course he'll upgrade his armour for him.

Reima brushes the ash and dust off of his clothes before making his way through the corridors that lead back to his previous holding cell, he finds two black knights guarding the hallway leading to it... Are they looking for him? He keeps out of sight and conjures another Crystal Soul Spear with the help of the slumbering dragoncrest ring and manages to kill both with one spell. One drops it's sword which seems too large to be used with one hand, he "hoards" it with the rest of his stash and approaches his cell. Looking down he sees a glowing orb hovering above a corpse that wasn't here before, it morphs into a doll... The doll he needs to enter a certain painting.
