บท 192: Defending What's Mine.

He rushes past the bell of enlightenment and down the stairs, spotting a dark blue phantom clashing blades with a Pyromancer of the Chaos Covenant, jumping from his raised position on the stairs he lands heavily on the back on the Dark Blue phantom who shouts in pain and surprise. The Pyromancer nods to him before sprinting back into the caves, probably to assist with the rest of the invaders.

Reima kicks away the phantoms weapon before delivering a powerful punch to their stomach, they groan as he repeats before finally stopping, "Who sent you! Why are you here!" he shouts in his face.

The blue phantom chuckles, "Why, to wipe out infidels and monsters of course. Why else would the Dark Moon lay it's eye upon such pathetic beings."

Reima's brows furrow, Gwyndolin it seems, isn't staying idle. "I'll look forward to tearing your masters tongue from his mouth. Let him speak then!" he says as he punches down with a Haki infused fist, completely obliterating the mans head.

After killing the phantom Reima rushes into the caves, hoping that no one's gotten killed. First thing he sees upon entering the first chamber is Priscilla waving her scythe that has the blade enveloped in a writhing black substance at anyone who gets close, every hit on the phantoms appears to cause them immeasurable pain, leaving them easy targets for the Chaos Servants fending off the around twenty invaders. Not leaving anything to chance Reima barrels over the phantoms shield wall, dodging the spears being thrust at him as he passes, he brings out his Obsidian Blade, channels Mana into it before slamming it against the floor, unleashing a wave of black fire in the middle of the invaders group.

Unfortunately the majority of them appear to have high fire resistance, they'd obviously prepared extensively to attack the Covenant of Pyromancers. The impact of the fire still causes chaos in the ranks of the phantoms, regardless of the damage done allowing his allies to deal a few fatal blows against the panicking enemies. He crushes an armoured warriors ribs with a round house kick before rolling over to Priscilla, "Do you know where everyone else is?!" he asks, semi-frantically.

She replies calmly but quickly, "Brother took everyone not combat ready to the lowest chamber for protection, the sisters are likely to be assisting him."

Reima "Thanks, don't do anything stupid or I'll tell Solaire!" he says while running over through the tunnels.

He encounters a few wayward phantoms checking the walls for secret passages or illusions but cuts them down quickly, the invaders will likely not last much longer due to us having the home-ground advantage, with most members being undead we've essentially got never ending reinforcements. This however only makes the situation more dire as they're likely to either be looking for the sisters, due to them being some of the only beings capable of dying within this place.

Reima finally gets to the entrance to the lower caves, the web that used to obscure the entrance has been burnt and torn away causing him to quicken his pace. He finally reaches the large chamber and finds all the furniture he had left there upturned with many sorcerers launching spells at them, he spots Dusk standing and launching a spell over the scattered furniture before dropping back into cover. He's behind the sorcerers and sees Solaire standing proudly in-front of what looks to be forty enemies blocking their path with his Sunlight Sword and Sanctus Shield. Behind him is Quelaag and Quelana launches huge torrents of flame at a large group of lightly armoured enemies that'd snuck past Solaire, with his improved eyesight he can see Quelina and Rhea trying to assist everyone with miracles while Eingyi tries keeping the invaders away from his masters by spewing toxic clouds in their path.

Reima shouts while cleaving the first unaware Sorcerer in half, "Don't fuck with me! Once I'm done with you I'll kill Gwyndolin as well!" this taunt definitely appears to grab their attention as the majority of the phantoms turn their sights upon him, some even changing from their initial goal of killing the Daughters of Chaos.

The battle turns chaotic as Reima continues viciously slicing through the flanks of the large group of invaders while Solaire acts as an anvil to his hammer, everything is only made more disorganised by the many Pyromancies and wayward clouds of toxic mist floating among the groups of phantoms, dissolving their lungs and causing terrible pain and panic. Solaire summons a lightning storm amidst the crowd as Reima uses his own Fire storm to finish off any stupid enough to remain.

After the battle is finished and the only people left are Reima and his friends Quelaag immediately calls for a meeting between the entire covenant. Eingyi runs off to gather everyone as Reima mourns for his lost furniture, despite the fact he's still got more stored away then all of Sweden.

Reima looks to his friends, "Are you all alright? No ones injured?" he says as he checks everyone's condition.

Rhea "No my Lo-Sir Reima. Sir Solaire had quickly directed us away when the first invader breached the caves."

Everyone is led to the Demon ruins so Quelaag, Quelana, Quelina and Eingyi can identify what had actually happened and if there is any way to prevent it again. Reima sits at the front of the group with Solaire, Priscilla, Dusk, Rhea and Anastacia, preparing to listen to what the sisters have to say to the covenant.
