Chapitre 119: Smough smash!

The group continue to talk about what they'd been doing before the subject of the Painted world of Ariamis is brought up, Solaire is very interested in this "land" that had held his niece prisoner for so long. As Solaire goes to enquire more about it Reima stands.

Reima "Alright, we can talk later... Right now we have two giant dudes to kill, do you guys need anything to prepare?"

Siegmeyer gets up, slowly followed by Solaire who has a dragon still attached to his arm.

Reima "Priscilla, don't you want to show Solaire how strong you've gotten?" He tries to motivate the girl who's unwilling to let go of her brothers arm.

Her pout turns into a smile as she lets go and retrieves her Scythe from the floor, she twirls in a skilful display for Solaire.

Reima "Alright, lets see how this will go... I'll take Ornstein and you guys take fatso... Good?"

Siegmeyer shakes his head "I do not wish to be crushed again, you take "fatty" and I'll take Ornstein."

Solaire nods, "I'd rather not be crushed by someones arse cheeks."

Reima retorts quickly, "And you think I do?"

...

The trio burst out laughing and Reima gets them to decide through rock paper scissors, winner fights Ornstein. He plays against Solaire... and loses, then he plays against Siegmeyer and quietly uses Axii to make him choose rock, when they show their hands Siegmeyer had thrown a rock, he wins!... He looks at his own hand and sees them shaped like scissors... Fuck!

He looks down in self pity and confirms, "I'll fight fatso, you guys get Ornstein."

As they prepare to walk through the Fog-Gate he remembers something, "Ah Priscilla, do not put yourself in danger. We are undead and will come back, you are not... That ring of sacrifice only works once before it breaks so keep that in mind." he says with deadly seriousness.

Solaire "Do not worry Sir Ludvig, I'll keep an eye on her." Reima nods and they step through after making pre-battle preparations, eating green blossoms, Crystal Magic enhancement and all.

As soon as Reima steps foot in the large hall held up by many pillars he is almost stabbed with a spear, it brushes past his face and severs loose white hairs. He spins and performs a spinning back kick which knocks his attacker backwards. Looking at them they wear extravagant golden armour which has a red plume coming from it's lion shaped helm, the large metal skirt that protects his legs has a tattered red material lining it. He wields a large spear that has a cross guard just under where the blade is, presumably this was used to drive it further in dragon scales. Ornstein looks at Reima and gives a slight nod before dropping into a low stance, whether or not he's hollow or insane remains to be seen.

The others had stepped through behind him and had seen this small bout, behind Ornstein a large shadow appears and is lit up by sunlight streaming through a window. It's helmet looks like a chubby face but the rest of it's armour is so large that the only way to describe it would be morbidly obese. It wields a giant hammer that doesn't look practical to wield at all, Smough hovers over them feeling just as his job entails, an executioner.

Siegmeyer, Solaire and Priscilla all prepare for combat and start moving to the right side of the room, Reima remembers that he has to fight "fatso" so he channels Haki into his legs and shoots towards the huge figure like a bullet. Arcell is out and covered with Crystals as he attempts to drive it through the wide golden chest-plate, Ornstein tries to stop his leap but is struck by lightning which draws his attention away.

Smough bring up his hammers shaft and receives the blade on it, causing a dull metallic ring ot reverberate throughout the room. He easily pushes Reima away due to him being mid air, he uses the momentum to do a back flip and lands delicately on his feet, the Slumbering Dragoncrest ring inhibiting the sound of the impact.

He catches flashes of lightning in his peripheral vision but can't tell if it's Ornstein's or Solaire's, he shakes his head and focuses on the tub of lard in front of him.

Reima "Yo fatty, you ever consider jogging? I'm surprised your cholesterol hasn't killed you yet." He's about to continue insulting him but has to dodge a deadly downward swing of his hammer. He tries to get in close but Smough just leaps backwards while sweeping his hammer in-front of himself, preventing Reima from even getting a strike in.

He starts conjuring a Crystal Soul spear but has to jump backwards due to Smough interupting it... He seems to have fought Sorcerers in the past, how about fire then? He quickly brings out his flame and throws a Great Chaos fireball at him, the projectile is slow but Smough had approached to try interrupt him again. The fireball hits him directly on his bloated stomach which causes the giant man to quickly try to brush the lava off, this only causes him to burn his hand. He looks at Reima and releases a nasally roar, enraged at actually being injured by this ant!
