章節 152: Seath'ing in rage...

The group looks up at the angry monologuing dragon, it seems that he had some sort of detection around the cave and the Primordial crystal... Not really surprising considering that it literally provides immortality. Seath's body is more mutated than Reima had initially thought, his upper body is pale and emaciated with his ribs being clearly visible, his colourful prismatic wings look more akin to an insects than a dragons. He stands at around 25ft, if you can call whatever he's doing standing... His lower body seems to have been the most affected by the crystal corruption as he no longer has any legs, instead he has tentacle like protrusions extending from his hardened crystallised pelvic area.

Reima "Man, if being immortal means I have to look like THAT, then no thanks!" He shouts at the dragon, shocking Sieglinde who's almost wet herself at the sheer power emanating from their foe. Even Reima's medallion which was slowly adapting to the massive amounts of ambient magic in the air is pulling on his neck in response to the dragons presence.

Seath looks at the ant who'just insulted his glorious appearance, he chuckles while replying "Is that so? It will be a pleasure to experiment on you and your pathetic friends."

Solaire steps up "Do you not recognise me dragon!?!"

The pale dragon looks at him for a moment, "Ah, one of Lord Gwyn's mistakes. Tell me, did the death of that abominable crossbreed anger you?" If dragons could sneer, Seath would be doing it.

Solaire, thoroughly enraged at the dragon speaking ill of his own daughter throws a larger than normal Sunlight spear at the dragon, hitting it in the chest but not leaving any visible wounds.

Seath roars at him "FOOL, I AM IMMORTAL!" before spewing a blue mist across the floor of the cave, Reima casts Aard to try give them a bit of space but the temporarily stopped mist is pushed aside as more tries envelop them. Reima seeing no other way to deal with this grabs his two companions and casts a powerful Quen shield to surround them.

Seath glowers from above, looking at the mist covered floor, certain of their demise. He grins as he thinks about the experiments he could conduct on one of Gwyn's spawn, he still hadn't forgiven that idiotic man for executing such a unique specimen. The mist gradually disappears revealing a glowing orange orb protecting the three ants. He only notices them when a Crystal Soul spear shatters on his chest... He looks blankly for a moment before laughing uproariously, "Fool! You think you can harm me with my own spells!? Ridiculous!"

Reima frowns as his spell easily shatters when it impacts the dragons skin... It was a stupid attempt now that he thinks about it, Seath literally created Sorceries, if that wasn't enough he still needs to find a way to get to the Primordial crystal without being crushed. Seath raises a hand and numerous Crystal Soul arrows explode forth in an attempt to completely wipe out the group. Sieglinde tries to shield herself with his buckler but the arrows are so numerous that she can't block them all, her armour is heavily damaged as they impacts her like a never ending combo. Solaire holds up slightly better than her, due to his experience and magically resistant shield he blocks the majority of arrows targeting him. Once the attack is over he enchants his weapon with Sunlight blade before running to Sieglinde to try and help her recover.

Reima isn't idle while this happens, with most arrows being directed at Solaire he easily dodges the few sent to him, he knows that Pyromancy is probably the most effective thing against Seath but unless he can throw something directly into the dragons mouth the battle will continue for a long time, he isn't sure he has the reserves to battle for that long while casting powerful Pyromancies. He tosses a Fireball at Seath's chest and watches it explode on his pale skin... Once the smoke subsides he sees a scorched mark on his chest that heals almost instantaneously, good news? It can damage him... Bad news? He's still currently immortal. Looking past the dragon Reima can barely see the bright light being emitted by the Primordial crystal, large sharp shards of revolving crystals surround it, acting like a grinder to anything that even attempts to come close... Even in this situation he salivates at the idea of stealing it for himself, in the game you had to destroy it but this isn't a game anymore.

Reima starts circling around, hoping that the dragon keeps his focus on Solaire who is currently throwing another lightning bolt at the large dragon. Seath slams his hand on the floor which results in many large crystals piercing the ground in an attempt to impale Solaire, said person jumps in the air while defending below him which somehow blocks a large crystal from penetrating his legs. The impact does unfortunately send him flying a couple meters away, Sieglinde however is not so lucky. Due to her prone form she isn't able to get up quickly enough, despite the quick healing Solaire had provided. She is stabbed in her left calf, thigh an side, she gives out a pained scream as she's impaled. Reima seeing this can only grit his teeth and keep moving, even if he could help her what then? He needs to destroy the thing providing the damned scaleless dragon immortality.
