章 133: Fluff MVP

Ceaseless discharge peeks through its tentacles to try spot it's attackers and sees one just below it trying to fire blue arrows at it's face. The insane mass of lava immediately starts moving every tentacle to attack the ant sized creature, four tentacles swipes horizontally in an attempt to grab it while another two try to crush it like a bug.

The Ant or "Reima" as he's commonly referred as has to blink away to avoid the ridiculous amount of tentacles trying to attack him, not only is it the quantity that's making it very difficult it's the attack angles the being is using... Without Observation Haki being used he'd already be a pancake due to it's almost intelligently placed strikes, he continues to fire Soul arrows at it to distract it from his allies, he highly doubts either of them would even come close to dodging the onslaught of strikes.

The blue arrow hits it seemingly causing no damage as another lightning bolt whizzing through the air and connects with Ceaseless discharge's face, it is immediately followed by a great arrow that misses it's mark and hits it's shoulder that's covered in lava. Reima can faintly hear a curse spoken from a gentle voice but he must be imaging it, another tentacle slams down next to him after he had side stepped it with Windfall. Reima ignores the sweat dripping profusely from his face as he slams the Crystal enchanted Arcell onto the tentacle almost severing it completely were he not interrupted by another tentacle that nearly took his head off. He feels a searing pain in his shoulder and glances at it and spotting a small bit of lava that'd apparently dropped from a tentacle and burned it's way through his armour, he ignores it for now as he has to blink away from another undodgeable combination of attacks. Were Reima able to fly or manipulate gravity he might be able to dodge them without using his cheat-like teleportation but he's unlikely to find such complicated magic in this land where magical control comes second to strength.

After a small while of being pelted with many different projectiles Ceaseless discharges vomits a huge quantity of lava onto the platform that Reima and Solaire were standing on, they immediately retreat to wait for the lava to slowly make it's way off and into the burning lake below. Another great arrow hits the large being as the two are moving and it draws it's attention towards the person who had fired it, Priscilla. It begins to stomp towards her but Reima and Solaire immediately try to change it's trajectery by firing large amount of lightning bolts and Crystal Soul spears. The huge creature stumbles back and almost falls over into the lake of lava when it's impacted by the projectiles fire from the angry duo. It seems that Solaire had fire a few Sunlight spears as well, Reima looks over to see him panting, he probably isn't used to casting those yet which caused him to use a lot of his Magical power. Reima keeps firing Soul arrows at regular intervals to keep the boss's attention on him as he walks on the now searingly hot ground that was temporarily covered by lava. He can feel his boot melt and burn slightly as he accidentally stepped in a small puddle of lava that was left behind. He curses and scrapes it on the ground as if he'd just stepped in dog-shit which only causes the lava to destroy more of his boot, his irritated actions are stopped as a roar of pain and anger alerts him to Ceaseless discharge's assault. It tries to swing a tentacle horizontally at him but Reima jumps in the air and severs it, causing droplets of lava to cover his armour and a few to land in his hair... He shouts as his hair immediately ignites causing the pristine white to char black as he quickly pours a small amount of Estus on it, the liquid soothes the wound and returns his hairs colour back to normal, just in time to see the world around himself spinning... No, he's the one spinning, a large black mark scars his armour as he's thrown through the air and heavily impacting a stone wall behind him, his vision blurs for a moment before quickly returning to full clarity as a golden glow surrounds his body. He looks to Solaire who looks exhausted from the healing miracle he'd just cast on Reima, it seems like he'd been smacked by a tentacle in response to him severing one. He looks over and sees the heavily damaged being spewing lava from it's missing tentacle, Reima gets up slowly and continues firing Crystal Soul spears at it... One hits it's heavily damaged face and causes the top black layer to be blasted off revealing the glowing white wound beneath it, he's about to target it with another Spear when a great arrow pierces the weak spot and exits the back of the monsters head, causing it to shudder for a moment before dropping heavily to the floor as if it's strings had just been cut.

He thanks whatever deities are out there and sits down feeling thoroughly exhausted from the battle, he feels a huge amount of souls enter him confirming the death of the enemy. He looks to the side and sees Solaire with his helmet placed at his side looking equally haggard... They hear the pitter patter of some quick light steps which is revealed to be Priscilla, who sprints at them before leaping on them both before hugging them. "We did it!" she shouts joyfully, "I thought I was in trouble for a moment but we pulled it off eventually!", she giggles in between her babbling recital of the recent battle that she seemingly forgot they were present in. The duo just give a tired sigh and praise her for her excellent marksmanship.
