章節 114: Crippled by a cripple

After checking the chests for mimics and taking the armour they unlock the door that leads to the previous bonfire before heading back up the stairs and entering the room directly opposite the door. They peek their heads through and see a church room? Pews line the room and face an alter of some sort... But that's not what draws the duo's attention, in the middle of the room is a massive beast, it's missing it's head, left arm and left leg... It wields a giant spear that has a weird tip which is shaped in a circular pattern, it's whole body seems to be comprised of a metallic material that glistens under the sunlight that shines through the window. He looks at his companion and stuffs something into her hand, she opens it and sees a gold ring... "This dost not seem an appropriate time for a proposal." She states blankly.

Reima shakes it head and whispers "No, this ring will protect you from death if we make a mistake." he says knowing full well that she's not undead, if she dies then she's gone for good.

Priscilla "Ah, forgive my mistake." she bows slightly... And accidentally knocks over a nearby pot... "For fu-" CRASH!

The titanite demon leaps in the direction of the sound and completely obliterates the already shattered pot. It doesn't seem to be able to see so it attacks anything it hears, he slips his slumbering dragoncrest ring into her hand as well before sprinting inside to get its attention.

Reima "Yo you brainless cunt, You're already missing an arm and a leg, wouldn't surprise me if you were d.ickless aswell!" It responds by launching a lightning bolt from it's spear at him, he dodges it but the lightning skips across the floor and proceed to climb the wall before dissipating, "The fuck?" he was too absorbed in watching the almost alive lightning and gets smacked across the room with the shaft of it's spear... He looks on, lying atop the shattered wooden alter that he'd landed on.

Reima "Ahh, fuck that hurt!" he moans before realising the demon is attracted by sound... Sheet! he thinks before blinking a few meters away, before being peppered by the shrapnel launched by the completely obliterated wooden alter. He feels slightly shamed that he's having such a hard time against a foe who's literally crippled, he retrieves Arcell from his Folded space before enchanting it with Crystal magic weapon. The noise of Crystals sprouting from the blade like an wind chime makes the demon leap again, Reima is prepared this time and blinks a small distance away before slamming Arcell onto it's tail, it takes a good chunk out of it but doesn't seem to affect the demon in any way. Priscilla is not doing nothing while all of this takes place, she had been approaching silently with the help of the ring Reima had given her. As Reima attacks it's tail she had sent a strong attack to it's only remaining arm, hoping to disable it, her Scythe slices through it but only takes a massive chunk out of it's bicep.

The demon feels the damage being done and stabs it's spear into the ground before casting a radial lightning attack, it lights up the area and blasts the duo away, luckily due the slumbering dragoncrest ring given to Priscilla the demon doesn't hear the pew being shattered by her body. It does however hear Reima's bruised body hitting the nearby wall like a fleshy bean bag, it recovers it's spear and thrusts at his location. Reima sees this and barely dodges with the use of Observation Haki along with Windfall, his after-shadow barely slows the demon down but he pirouettes and chops down on it's already damaged bicep, successfully severing it's arm. He grabs it and stores it away, hoping that it won't fade away with the rest of it's body when it's killed. With the loss of it's remaining arm the demon is almost completely useless, the only thing it seems to be able to do is kick with it's remaining foot... Needless to say, the battle swiftly ends after a few minutes of chopping at it's defenceless body.

He releases a breath and sits down on the only remaining pew left, he looks at Prisclla who seems to be slightly embarrassed at her earlier error...

Reima "I hope you know how much easier that fight would've been if I was allowed time to cast spells?"

She nods, "Apologise." she doesn't seem to bow this time, causing Reima to grin... She's probably worried about knocking something else over. He looks over to where the titanite demon previously was and sees a golden orb on the ground, picking it up reveals a large piece of demon titanite... Reima's gathered a good amount of this certain material so far, perhaps he should try acquire a boss weapon? He remembers the weapon he previously used in the game, Greatsword of Artorias. Reima immediately stops this train of thought due to the soul required to make it, Sif's soul... The thought of killing such a large floof makes him irritated, no he won't acquire that weapon this time. In-fact, what if he gave Sif Artorias soul? That girl that you originally give it to can go suck a lemon, Sif is his true companion and deserves to mourn properly. He nods, making sure to make a mental note of this decision.
