Chapitre 433: Caaarrrrl!?

Once the group was in a secure place, Michael spoke about his role in the defence, immediately offering to fight the 'King Mud Crab' as it'd been named by most of the city by this point.

Sure, he could just let Solitude deal with it, knowing that the Ballistae his company had sold them would probably pierce its shell with ease, but then again, he had no idea if he'd lose EXP from the kill, nor if having Solitude help him in the fight would breach the rules of the Hunt.

Eventually Torygg agreed to let him go fight the King Mud Crab, though, with the knowledge that he'd have his men get involved if Michael was struggling or in danger. They had no idea just what abilities the mud crab possessed, but Sybille had a suspicion that it gained the strength of everything it ate, which is why it got bigger with every mud crab it ate.

What would happen if it managed to eat Michael? Yeah, no one wanted to know. Even if the curiosity of the group was palpable.

Soon enough, the army of mud crabs was in range of the city's defences. Ballistae and wall-mounted catapults unloading their ammunition at the sea of crabs.

*THUDTHUDTHUDTHUDTHUD!*

Carapace and shell pieces scatter as they shatter, with stringy mud crab flesh beginning to thick layer the ground, even as more of the critters scuttled atop their kin's corpses to reach Solitude's gates.

The next that were in range were the archers and mages, who each launched their attacks to massive effect. Explosions of ice, fire, and lightning erupt around the battleground, easily killing the helpless mud crabs as they continue their suicidal march.

Atronachs of every kind were summoned below the walls and acted as walls that destroyed any foe that got near them... That is, until the King Mud Crab shot the Wabbajack as one of them, causing them and all other Atronachs to abruptly turn into cheese...

With that, Michael decided it was time to go confront the Champion of Sheogorath. Before it shot the Wabbajack at the gate and turned it into jello, or water, or something...

He gives a nod to Sybille and Blinks to the ground before beginning his charge. Obviously, he could have flown there from the top of the wall, but the risk of getting shot by the Wabbajack in mid-air was too much. Plus... He'd recently discovered the Empire's law that forbids any spells that granted flight, the Levitation Act...

Considering that Solitude was the city that was linked the strongest to the Empire, it'd probably be a bad idea to openly flaunt such laws in front of everyone.

Regardless, he Blinks from the back of mud crab to mud crab, quickly traversing the army with relative ease. He does have to avoid some Wabbajack projectile as he does so, the magical bolts hitting mud crabs behind him and causing various effects.

Some grew larger, some grew smaller, some turned into cows that were quickly devoured by the other mud crabs, while others turned back into regular humans, who were also quickly devoured.

The closer he got to the King Mud Crab, the harder avoiding the projectiles got, fortunately, his base Agility was exceptional, not mentioning his stacks of [Essence Shift] he'd gathered as he killed mud crabs in his path with a spare ebony sword he had in his inventory.

"Alright you giant rangoon, let's get it-!" Michael starts but finds himself blown away as a mud crab behind him explodes into confetti after a Wabbajack bolt hits it.

He's blasted straight towards the King Mud Crab, which already had its pinchers ready to bisect him... He twists in the air and skims past them and manages to grab a protruding part of its shell, allowing him to flip up to its back.

The pincer holding the Wabbajack erratically jabs it towards him, not using its sight, but simply shooting where it felt Michael on its back. He avoids them, but this method of aiming, of course, did have some issues.

Michael flips over another magic projectile, not noticing that its trajectory would hit the King Mud Crab's carapace...

*POOSH!*

Once it connects, the entire top layer of the shell on the crab's back morphs, causing many disgustingly slimy tentacles to sprout and whip around, each tipped with a bone spike that dripped with some sort of green acidic substance.

Michael's quick to react to this, blasting them with a Fade Bolt that begins jumping between them, somehow registering each one as its own individual entity, which isn't really strange when you consider their origin.

He also casts a Muffle spell on himself to prevent the King Mud Crab from locating him any longer, the spell not only muting the sounds he makes but also muffling the impact of his feet, preventing it from feeling them through its shell.

This only causes it to start spamming Wabbajack bolts around at random however, some hitting nearby trees and causing them to turn into some sort of treants that uproot themselves and go berserk, some hit a few of the remaining tentacles causing them to grow bigger and more phallic-shaped... And some even hit the walls of Solitude, causing the stone to transmute into millions of baby hands (Yes I'm looking at you Carl.).

Everyone atop the wall screams as they plummet into the pile of hands, the siege equipment crushing a few underneath it, along with the countless baby hands that are turned into a disgusting mulch of bloody, tender flesh.

"What. The. Fuck..." Michael mutters as he sees all of this going down, his left eye twitching erratically as he focuses on the literal mountain of bloody dismembered baby hands. It's almost shocking enough to allow the Wabbajack to hit him, almost.

Michael abruptly jumps backwards, performing a flip as he lands behind the claw holding the Wabbajack. "Alright Sheo, you sick fuck! Try this!" he roars as he chops his ebony sword into the joint of the claw, swiftly cutting it off in a single blow.

Chapitre 434: Admiral Qualities

Blue crab blood spatters as the third mutated claw is cut off, it loses its grip on the Wabbajack too, sending it spinning up into the air, making Michael nervous whenever its tip is pointed in his direction.

His worries are justified too, as after its third rotation, another projectile it fired directly at Michael. At that moment, Michael realises that not all the Prince's were acting honourably, chiefly, Sheogorath, who seemed to be controlling the Wabbajack instead of the King Mud Crab.

He uses [Counter Spell] at the last second to block it, but it ends up being futile, as a shadow throws itself between Michael and the attack. "Darth!?"

His shadowy familiar gets hit, causing its form to bubble and morph, but Darth disappears before Michael could see the final result... The familiar bond was still there, so Darth wasn't dead... He just hoped the changes wouldn't be too drastic.

Shaking his head, he uses a cloth and wraps it around the Wabbajack to prevent it from going to Hircine, wanting to destroy it in the Aetherium Forge to prevent any more mother fuckin' dismembered baby hands from being created and or harvested, depending on where they actually came from.

He throws it into his inventory and finally turns his attention to Sheogorath's Champion, who was basically completely defenceless against Michael who was still perched on its back.

"Alright, let's end this." he mutters, retrieving his Aetherium Pickaxe and beginning to dig a hole in its shell. Once he breaches into the crab's flesh, he points a finger down and chants, "Laguna Blade." a couple times, completely frying the crab from the inside out, causing it to collapse in on itself.

With its death, all the remaining mud crabs go into what could only be called a feeding frenzy, devouring everything and anything nearby, including their own allies... This combined with Solitude's continued assault all but annihilates the mud crab threat, leaving man the victor in the competition between man and crab...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A couple hours after the battle, once High King Torygg was sure another attack wouldn't be coming, a celebration is thrown... Though, this was more to get the citizens away from the gate so that they wouldn't see the mountain of baby hands that was once the wall. If news of this became widespread, Solitude might even become a 'cursed city', a place travellers all around Tamriel would refuse to visit, heavily hitting both the economy, foreign relations, and Skyrim's reputation as a whole, Solitude being the Capital.

Michael was basically forced to stay, being one of the 'heroes' of the day, preventing him from immediately hunting more Champions. Torygg had him stay and announced his name, among others, that'd helped in the defence of Solitude, afterwards granting him a large amount of gold as a reward.

He was eventually able to pry himself away so he could begin hunting Champions again... But first, updating his status.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With his Silencer Spirit finally maxed out, he had a new Spirit to pick, along with the roulette wheel to deal with. He quickly goes through it, but finds that his apathy towards it is unfounded due to the things he'd acquired from it.

A Mystic Staff, a very expensive staff that'd massively enhance your hero's Intelligence in the game.

A Blink Dagger, one of the most useful items in Dota 2, in Michael honest opinion. It'd allow your hero to blink around in a manner not all that dissimilar to Anti-Mage, with the exception that taking any damage would disable its ability for a limited time.

Lastly, was the artifact called Cloak of Flames. Which increased your hero's armour while also covering them in flames. Michael would have to test it further to make sure it wouldn't burn both enemies and allies, but he was pretty happy with it and the other items regardless.

Grinning like an excited child, he turns his attention toward the list of available Spirits he could pick from... Again, the options were both interesting and limited. The power disparity and usefulness between them were massively different, especially with what Michael wanted to achieve.

Kunkka, Juggernaut, Dragon Knight, Lich, Necropphos... In the end, Michael decided to leave it up to chance, not really knowing who would be the best pick. He draws a circle in the dirt and writes the names of the heroes around it before tossing a stick in the air.

It drops, and its point lands in a section... Kunkka?

...

Hmm, then again, Juggernaut was looking good...

Ugh, fine, go hard or go home, right?

He selects Kunkka.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spirit : Kunkka

Level : 1

Abilities :

Admiral Qualities (Rank 0) : Gives the user inherent charisma when speaking to groups of people. Grants people under user's command a bonus to their damage, attack speed, and movement speed.

Torrent (Rank 0) : Summons a large torrent of water to shoot from the ground, lifting and stunning enemies caught in it.

TideBringer (Rank 1) : Enchants user's sword with Tidebringer's essence of the sea, making their next strike also hit nearby enemies.

X Marks The Spot (Rank 0) : User marks a target with an X, causing them to return to the same location after a few seconds, no matter what.

GhostShip (Rank 0) : Summons Kunkka's ghost ship, massively boosting the vitality of allies on it. Any collisions are dealt massive damage. Requires constant mana to maintain.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm, yeah, he probably should have expected the charisma bonuses since Kunkka was the Admiral of a navy. GhostShip is different from what he remembers... The description makes it sound like he could actually sail around on it...? Still, he wondered if crashing the thing into a Dragon would kill it. He had no idea how big the ship would be, but he was looking forward to finding out.

TideBringer was also a big surprise. Sure, it was stupidly powerful in the game, but he'd already seen some abilities get nerfed. He was glad to see that TideBringer wasn't one of them.

Though, he was a bit put out that he hadn't received the legendary blade. That meant that any other legendary weapons that are involved in abilities wouldn't be gained. He was thankful that he hadn't wasted any Spirit slots on mechanical heroes that required him to build stuff.

"Now, let's go test this out on some Daedri-Oh, shit!... Darth! What happened to you!?" he abruptly exclaims as his familiar appears before him...

Of course, Darth doesn't say anything, as he'd been changed from a shadowy hand to a shadowy foot...

"For the love of god, if I have to go around hunting fucking exodia cards to fix this shit I'm going to go crazy!"
