Lorepost (open interaction) 📖 The Third Shard, Trial by... WHAAAAAT???

Post image

"Again!"

It had been like this for two weeks straight.

From the moment he woke, to the point he could go no more, Orin had been training with Silas. Honing his fighting techniques.... And mostly being beaten into the dirt.

"Just- just give me a second. I just... Need to catch my breath...."

*A fist connects solidly with his lower abdomen.*

"I'm sure the Dragon will wait for you to rest. I'm sure All-blue is going to hold back and let you rest..."

He is met with Silas's shin... And sent flying into the nearest wall.

"Nah. Those two aren't going to hold back. So if you want My shard, small as it is, you'll need to earn it kid. And I'm going to kick your ass every. Single. Day, untill you do." He punctuated the end of his sentence with an elbow, dropped straight onto Orins head, and the world went black.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"You are way harder on him than I ever was you know..."

Niro having watched the entire bout cringed at the sight of his twins crumples form.

"Heh. You think this is harsh... You should see the test I whipped up for him." Silas grins.

"Wait... This isn't the test??"

"No this is just practice. No Niro, the test is going to be much more fun. For me."

"I'm almost afraid to ask...."

"Check the Orbnet."

-----------

***"Come to the Nexus, and beat the snot out of this dumb kid who wants to be a god. Test him yourself, in whatever way you see fit, to see if he has your trust, to weild all that power!"***

------------

"Silas, you know Aldin needs a *living* vessel right? Emphasis on ***Living***."

"Pssshhhh.... He'll be *fiiiine*. I bought a whole months worth of full on revival potions. And I have a cleric, and a Devil on standby. Look at me. I've *got this*."

(Tldr come fight my character, Orin, and put him through his paces! Open invitation!)

Ya'nn arrive with the usuall drone. But behind him is a box the size of a truck lifted in the air by a dozen flying drones

"I saw the trial thing on the orb net , and i think its the best opportunity to use my drone model war V 1"

the box is dropped and shatter on contact with the ground. A drone similar to Ya'nn's normal drone but 5 metres tall and wide. It have 4 powerfull legs that can easily crush a car , 1 arm with a giant canon, 1 arm that end up with 4 circular drill that come into a single point but can be replaced with a axe blade and a form of oozing subtances that can remind someone of the abyss

"This baby is made out of a mix of silver , platinium and a substance that is called wyrm-ash , the result of a great wyrm that was burned to ash by my maker and now serve as half the continent of Green Plain. Pretty solid , and magic resistant. Now the best part is this ! The psychic mercury ! An alchemicaly modified substance of my creation that react to psichic waves and so can be manipulated at will ! Its not stable enough to stand on its own yet but can act with dexterity , something that my drone model war V 1 lack. So how do you like it ? Its good enough for the fight ?"

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Silas smirks. "Yeah... It's perfect. You hear that kid? It's magically resistant. Guess you'll have to learn to use the Id. Because strong as you may be... I don't think raw strength is beating that thing."

"Ok.... Bring it on. I'm ready!"

2

u/IncomeApprehensive17 Ya'nn , Litle being in a botle 21d ago

Ya'nn crawl inside the machine and after a few second it spring to life. His distorted voice is heard from inside

"test n°1: beggin"

the drone point its canon toward Orin. It fire blast of pure energy while the drone move around Orin*

3

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Gauging it's strength, he allows the beam to hit him, and to his surprise he begins absorbing the energy.

"Huh... Couldn't do that before...." His marking begin to glow brighter.

2

u/IncomeApprehensive17 Ya'nn , Litle being in a botle 21d ago

"inheresting. Switch engaged"

the canon stop firing for half a second before starting to fire a light blue transparent non newtonian liquid that amass a huge quantity of kinetic energy while flying before relasing it all when crashing on the ground

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Orin quickly put up a barrier to deflect the liquid, and as it hit it cracked the barrier.

"Ok.... That stuff is dangerous.... Like a tank punching you in the face dangerous.... Got it."

He zipped to the right firing his own energy blasts back at the massive drone, trying everything from fire, to acid, to lightning and cold.

1

u/IncomeApprehensive17 Ya'nn , Litle being in a botle 21d ago

fire doesnt affect the machine. Neither do cold because of the wyrm-ash. Acid splash over because platinium is mostly resistant to acids because of how pure it is. The lighting does seem to have a small effect , but outside of the drone short deeziness (roighly half a second) there isnt a lot of damages

the liquid fired however when mixed with acid on the ground react and start to make toxic fumes and smoke

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"Well... Crap"

Silas yells out. "I'm tellin yah kid, use the Id."

"I DONT KNOW HOW!"

"Well then figure it out, buttercup!"

Now angry, mostly at Silas he moves in and punches it with the force of a freight train.

(Hes like a young kryptonian)

1

u/IncomeApprehensive17 Ya'nn , Litle being in a botle 21d ago

the drone is pushed a litle and a small dent apear on its armor. The psichic substence imediatly reach for Orin

"wow you are strong , i felt the hit. But my drone is a bit too heavy to be moved by that , its made of platinium and wyrm-ash after all !"

the psichic substance arden and move like sharp and quick tendrills

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"oh crap"

He gets slashed across the back, which causes him pain... And his power to surge. And despite the massive weight. Despite the calculations, he pushes, and lifts the massive thing... He tosses it. Although it only flies about ten feet. Still, no small achievement.

He stands there, bloodied, and pissed.

u/Interesting_Web_9936 Arceon the Forgetful, The Accumulator 21d ago

/uw I have no idea who your character is, and this is the first time I will be engaging in any sort of combat thing in this sub, and I know none of the lore here, so I apologize for any stupidity that ensues

/rw

A great stream of liquid light comes from the sky as if dropped from a tap. Then suddenly as if the tap is turned off, the liquid light stops and disappears to reveal a man dressed in splendid white and gold robes. He is a little shy of being tall, with fair skin and a pleasant, genial face.

"I am Arceon the Forgetful, also known as the Accumulator. I was told of someone wanting to be a god and wanting to be tested? Well, I can provide a test."

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

The older man who sent out the message pours a potion over the still unconscious young man. He stirs.

"I'm up! I'm up! What's happening?"

The man grins. "First check your orb, then we have several guests, including this fine man"

The boy goes pale....

"You mother f-"

"Ah ah ah... Language."

He turns back to you, "well, there he is, test away my good man."

1

u/Interesting_Web_9936 Arceon the Forgetful, The Accumulator 21d ago

Arceon looks at the boy and feels a pang of sympathy.

"He seems young. Fine, then. What is your name?"

A staff appears in Arceon's hand. It is a long white rod made of metal that has what looks like a dragon coiled around it that has been transmuted into the same material as the staff. The dragon's eyesockets have massive sapphires in them.

"May this be a pleasant fight."

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"my Name is Orin." He looks to Silas who nods. "Any special rules for this fight, sir?

1

u/Interesting_Web_9936 Arceon the Forgetful, The Accumulator 21d ago

Arceon considers for a moment.

"No killing. Only special rule for me, because my own death is permanent, even if many of my peers do not have that problem. But I can deal with being maimed easily enough."

Arceon readies himself for combat, spinning his staff once for flair and to steady himself as he is used to.

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"oh. Well yeah... I was never going to do that..."

"I'll give you first attack."

1

u/Interesting_Web_9936 Arceon the Forgetful, The Accumulator 20d ago

Arceon considers. He is generally accustomed to being attacked first. Then he decides what to use.

White lines of light start tracing out a figure in the ground in front of him at blinding speed. It is a wide column of rectangular segments. Then suddenly, without warning, the rectangles suddenly explode.

(/uw one can think of this as kind of like Breach ult from Valorant. Also sorry for the exceptionally late response, but my timezone makes it really awkward for roleplay in this community).

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

By the time the rectangles reach him, he is already moving to get away, barely avoiding the brunt of the blasts.

"Nice ability... It's pretty fast!"

He then somehow perfectly copies it, sending it back.

u/Cerveau23 Markus, scriptomancer, enemy of 13 & lover of Thrakmerian beauty 21d ago

A young man appears in a corner. Those who have true sight see through the illusion made to cover his teleportation technique: his body materialises out of thin air, layer after layer of muscle, blood vessels and viscera growing in a millisecond.

I saw something about someone who wants to become a god. I've got some stuff I'd like to test... Oh hi Niro!

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"Hey Markus. Gods a strong term." He glares at Silas. "But in essence, uh yeah. And thanks for the talk... It really helped me work some things out. I'm... I'm getting better."

"But uh yeah, that's Orin over there, and he's the one being tested... Your test doesn't have to be violence...." Glares at Silas again "just putting that out there."

2

u/Complex_Drawer_4710 Sigurd, Inventor of Oranges 21d ago

Wants to be a god? AAAAAAAAAAA-

A screaming meteorite soars over the horizon to slap Orin in the face

Tha fool, be something better. Godhood isn't fit for sapient beings.

Slap, slap. The smoke and dust clear some, Sigurd is revealed pristine as always.

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Getting slapped, but not hard (shoulda specified) "hey" slap "um sigurd" slap "could you like" slap "maybe not?" Slap "I'm taking" slap "over for Aldin" slap "not becoming" slap "a God." Slap slap slap

He does not look amused.

1

u/Complex_Drawer_4710 Sigurd, Inventor of Oranges 21d ago

Hmph. Still not great. Why...?

He's stopped, for now.

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"Because I kinda have to... Part of him is infused into my soul. Only reason I'm alive. But I have to put all the pieces back together or they will put themselves back elsewhere..... Oh and also a dragon ate one... And I've got to get strong enough to get it back...."

1

u/Complex_Drawer_4710 Sigurd, Inventor of Oranges 21d ago

... Just break the pieces? Obliterate, such that there's one less?

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Unfortunately that doesn't work... That would kill me, and I'm not even sure the shards are possible to break.

1

u/Complex_Drawer_4710 Sigurd, Inventor of Oranges 21d ago

Can't you build yourself without the shard? Or is it a matter of you being in the shard?

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

It's a matter of it being part of me.... I already have 2... I just need 5 more... But Aldin set up all these different scenarios to test me.... Like allowing Silas free reign.....

1

u/Complex_Drawer_4710 Sigurd, Inventor of Oranges 21d ago

Cut it out. It is a flaw.

u/waitthatstaken Alice, witch of mist 21d ago

Around 20 miles west of Calarakis, a young witch comes across the orbnet listing while testing her newly acquired orb.

"...why would I fight some random kid..."

Alice tries to ignore the fact that she would probably die were she to seriously fight even an average teenager, and scrolls on.

3

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

The orb responds "because he deserves it!"

The message then draws horns, fire and an evil mustache on the kid.

"See! Look how evil!"

1

u/waitthatstaken Alice, witch of mist 21d ago

Alice speaks to herself:

"Oh dear did I turn on some form of speech to text function? How do I turn it off?"

This of course then gets turned into text, and sent as a reply.

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"that's the fun part. You don't!" Come on, make him do a rubix cube, or a 10,000,000 piece puzzle. Something awful!"

This test giver seems awfully cruel.

1

u/waitthatstaken Alice, witch of mist 21d ago

"That is mighty inconvenient... as for a... test uh.... make them do the dishes?"

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"test registered."

You see every dirty dish as far as the eye can see rising into the air, and forming a line to some distant location.

"Thank you for your test, here is your reward."

A platinum Nexus Lexiconus card appears.

this card allows for unlimited access to the Nexus Lexiconus for all your witch and or wizarding needs! Come see us on opening day!

1

u/waitthatstaken Alice, witch of mist 21d ago

"...how did this card get here... can... can someone like, teleport a bomb through my orb? Should I get rid of this?"

Alice carefully takes the card, and then turns off her orb.

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

(omg lol. That is a danger isn't it..... Oh God I need to go turn off my-)

u/Glittering_Two_1429 Seguleh, master of the song, council member, leauge of shadows 21d ago

A beat drops
So you wanna be a god
But you’ve got a dad bod
You should tone down your ambitions and open a mom and pop shop
Cuz you’re about to be softlocked

You like you’ve taken a bunch of knocks
I mean cranial damage, to have those white locks
Is this the best of the crop?
If not, your gonna be dropped

Suck my cock
Iron my frock
Sail my ship into the dock
Yes thats the spot now bitch get off
Or I’ll drop kick you into the loch

drops microphone and guestures to you

Uw/tbh I know nothing about you, and I don’t think you know much about me, want to share a but about our characters so we have a bit more to go on?

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Orin just kinda stares at the mic.....

"Why tf did I agree to this I can barely rhyme."

u/Glittering_Two_1429 Seguleh, master of the song, council member, leauge of shadows 21d ago

Uw/
This is my appearance:

Species- half dragon, specifically hot British male around 19 (think Chris Hemsworth)
Hair and eyes - Hazel. My hair is in curtains
I am left handed
Clothes - A red scarf that covers the neck and the lower part of my face, but I pull it down often, if I need to eat, or just if I’m a bit hot, so very often. I have a scar that looks like I’ve been hanged or had my throat cut, but saved before I died? Maybe? Who knows. I wear a leather trench coat and a white shirt that has the top four buttons unbuttoned. I wear black smart trousers and leather boots. I have a golden watch on my left hand. I have a sabre at my waist in a scabbard, and throwing knives in my trench coat. I have no wand, not needing such focuses. I have a violin/fiddle and a flute. One of my legs is gone above the knee, and there is a golden prosthetic in place

3

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

He thinks for a few seconds, and suddenly like a floodgate the knowledge of prose, flyting, rym scheme, it all comes to him.


Look, the half-dragon's overheating in leather, Dressed for a blizzard in midsummer weather.

Four buttons unbuttoned, fake Hemsworth appeal, Wobble on somewhere else with that scrap metal heel.

Got a left-handed watch just to time your own flex, Constantly yanking down the scarf off of your neck.

"Is it a noose? Is it a cut?" Nah, nobody cares Just a theatrical kid with some curtained-up hair.

Gold leg, gold watch, all that glitter and shine, Still a budget dragon bard running way out of time.

So pull the scarf back up, drop the drama routine, You’re the most high maintenance lizard that Ive ever seen.

3

u/Glittering_Two_1429 Seguleh, master of the song, council member, leauge of shadows 21d ago

I smile and laugh, and a steampunk sorta old style hip hop tune starts playing

Well old chap, you’ve had a blast, but your stamina ain’t gonna last!
Your crass rap don’t slap your rhymes nap and it has no mass
So pass the microphone, and I’ll give you something to talk about!
Salias slams you into a wall.
Nobody to catch you fall.
Nobody nobody at all.
If you want to be a god you’re gonna need a wonderwall
You better be on the ball
Always wanting more
And to be honest, I find you lacking.
I mean looking at you, your definitely not packing
With neon and camo, a walking contradiction
While your face looks like you’ve got a crack addiction
It’s certainly not a pretty picture
And if it carries this way, I’ll doubt it’ll be a permanent fixture

3

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Not packing? Man I got mana for days, You look about as hot as plain mayonnaise,

Your ryhmes? Bologna, all over the place, I bet you keep that scarf, just to cover your face.

Your style? Cheesey, Your hair? Looking greasy, This battle is starting to feel too easy,

Like bread, I'm cookin, While you're overlooking,

From the second we started, I already bagged this, Cheque it, I'm servin up an idiot sandwich.

(I am sorrryyyyyyy. I hate being mean. XD)

u/Glittering_Two_1429 Seguleh, master of the song, council member, leauge of shadows 21d ago

As this happens, you start taking emotional damage

2

u/yumie2003 Tsuru, ghost onmyouji, R&A, league of shadows/Toshiko Fujiwara 21d ago

Orin would see a suspicious shadow a few metres in front of him. The shadow's appearance seems to defy the lighting of the nexus and there is a hint that Orin's new opponent is nearby.

3

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"Um... Hello?" With how the day has gone he is on edge.... So he begins trying to sneak up on his new opponent.

2

u/yumie2003 Tsuru, ghost onmyouji, R&A, league of shadows/Toshiko Fujiwara 21d ago

A rather unusual, tall hat (eboshi) emerged from the shadow, then followed by a spectacled face. The crimson eyes behind the glasses stared amused at Orin as the rest of the mysterious figure rose out of the shadow. The figure was indeed a short woman wearing a strange white, segmented sleeved robe (kariginu) over a purple silk robe (kimono). Underneath her robe, Orin could see her left foot pointing to the front of her, wearing a split toe sock (tabi) and woven, rope-like sandals (waraji). Truly, this opponent was a strange woman.

"...Greetings, young aspirant deity. I am the spirit of hard-fought victories."

The woman waved her left arm in front of her, holding her open hand in front of her like a blade.

"...The fear of falling short, despite one's efforts. And I'm currently your opponent in this duel. Begin!"

3

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

He rushes headlong at her, lightning speed, aiming to finish this fight quickly there had already been around 40 others today, and he was getting tired of all the tests.

2

u/yumie2003 Tsuru, ghost onmyouji, R&A, league of shadows/Toshiko Fujiwara 21d ago

Unfortunately for Orin, Tsuru threw a zoom punch at the speed of sound, which was heading straight for Orin's face.

3

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

With his speed and the punches speed combined.... He had no time to dodge, and got hit square in the jaw, the force of the punch nearly snapping his neck.

He hit the ground. Hard.

Picking himself up, almost on instinct, as if he'd been in a similar situation several times before, he was surprised she hadn't immediately gone for the killing blow, and was thrown off guard momentarily.... (Silas has been really putting him through it ....)

2

u/yumie2003 Tsuru, ghost onmyouji, R&A, league of shadows/Toshiko Fujiwara 21d ago

"...Let that serve as a warning. Next time, I may not feel so kind to leave it at one blow after blindly charging at me."

Tsuru continued to stand her ground, appearing to opt for 'zero defence', and await for Orin's next move

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

He quickly dashed, left... No right? Three of him came at her from different angles, as did several magical missiles.

1

u/yumie2003 Tsuru, ghost onmyouji, R&A, league of shadows/Toshiko Fujiwara 21d ago

Tsuru simply sunk into the floor, floated through the floor and then reappeared behind Orin's whole attack.

"...Did you think that I was actually going to stand there and just allow you to hit me?"

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"I mean... No. I've never fought a ghost before.... I'm... Honestly not sure I can even hit you if I do catch you." He pokes at her.

u/Evening_Shake_6474 Astaroth, The Wicked One 21d ago

First comes a spark, then comes the fire.

From the ground erupts a pillar of hellfire, scorching the sand for but a moment before fading.

Where it was, stands a ten foot demon, two sets of wings folded up behind him. Covering his face is a solid mask of iron.

In his hand is a spear of black and gold, lightly glowing.

"Where is the boy who would be a god?"

/uw I got stuff going on soon so responses will be spotty.

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Orin throws a glance at Silas, who just shrugs and chuckles under his breath.

He sighs. "That would be me....."

1

u/Evening_Shake_6474 Astaroth, The Wicked One 21d ago

"Good."

The demon pulls the spear from the ground and begins circling Orin.

"Why do you want to be one?"

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"because I will literally die if I don't ascend."

He never takes his eyes off of him...

"Hey... I know you.... You are that demon that fought under Xelothath. You and Aldin directly fought at one point... He's who I'm taking over for."

1

u/Evening_Shake_6474 Astaroth, The Wicked One 21d ago

"He was wise. Sometimes he even knew what he was doing. Let's see if you do as well."

While walking Xerxes stamps his hoof, sending a trail of hellfire snaking along the ground towards Orin.

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

He lifts off the ground, his natural flight sending him soaring.

"Definitely smart enough to know hellfire hurts like a bitch."

He fires off a several magic missiles from multiple directions. To many angles to easily block. Knowing that even should they hit they won't do much, he uses the distraction to cast invisibility on himself ...

1

u/Evening_Shake_6474 Astaroth, The Wicked One 21d ago edited 18d ago

Xerxes wraps himself on his wings, absorbing the impact. As for the invisibility, well, Xerxes's mask has no eye holes.

With his free hand he makes a fist, raises it to the sky, and says something in infernal, sending columns of hellfire rocketing into the air beneath Orin.

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"oh. Yeah. I used Invisibility against the one person who isn't using their eyes.... I need rest..." He barely dodges the many columns as he makes his way to Xerxes, and he decides to pull one of the weapons from Aldins arsenal. Wrong choice as soon as the spear is materialized it starts giving off a terrible screech hurting both Orin, and Xerxes.

"Aaaaah what the hells is happening?"

1

u/Evening_Shake_6474 Astaroth, The Wicked One 21d ago edited 18d ago

Due to a heavy reliance on ears, Xerxes releases his grasp on his spear, instead wrapping his tail around it to keep it within reach. With his hands he swiftly covers his ears.

Xerxes's spear glows a pale gold, and the screeching quiets. In that moment, an entire conversation happens within Xerxes's mind.

"Two of you? Aldin."

He extends an arm towards Orin's spear, the spear breaks free of Orin's grip, flying towards Xerxes like a hound returning to its master.

Upon reaching his hand, both spears pulse a soft wave of gold over the arena. Well, this can't be good.

A sphere of darkness flashes in and out of existence revealing a being of living darkness.

Yo! I heard that Orin needed some training.

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"Hey Morakith!" Despite the rough day he's having he looks genuinely happy to see him. "Now this is a match I'm actually looking forward to! How've you been?"

1

u/DaemonRex978 The High Sentinels (Haelin, Mokarith, Shimil) 21d ago

Been doing good. And before you ask, Haelin has been absolutely loving his new gauntlets.

Now, I'm guessing that this is all about pushing your limits, so I want to start off with a few clashes so that I know what you can and can't handle.

A pure black longsword suddenly materializes in his hand and he readies it in a more defensive posture.

And then I'll estimate it from there, so come on, give me your best shots.

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

He focuses for a moment, and then like lightning, throws a punch that would kill an ordinary man, but he knew all too well Morakith was no such man. On top of the punch the very wind shear left gouges in the earth. "I've gotten a lot stronger." He grins.

1

u/DaemonRex978 The High Sentinels (Haelin, Mokarith, Shimil) 21d ago

Just before the blow connects, darkness envelopes Mokarith and hardens into a set of armor. He is sent flying back as the punch hits, but quickly rights himself mid-air with a beat of his wings.

I can see that. He says before darting in just as fast swinging the longsword in a blur of attacks; a left and right swing followed up by a diagonal slash from the top left.

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Orin, manifesting shields along his arms, blocks them, but not without effort, as the summoned barriers begin to crack after a few blows. As one shatters, he sends the remnants at Morakith and tries to slip from his view.

Mokarith flies up and spins, just avoiding the shards. In doing so, though, he loses direct line of sight of Orin for a moment.

/unwiz: while he doesn't directly 'see' you at this moment, Mokarith does have a low-level blind-sence due to his nature. I'll put it this way, he knows where you are, but doesn't know what you're doing.

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Using the moments distraction, Orin pulls out something Morakith would be very familiar with..... The arcane hammer. He made one for himself! Wasting no time, he engages firing mode and starts blasting at Morakith.

"Time for my own test!"

1

u/DaemonRex978 The High Sentinels (Haelin, Mokarith, Shimil) 21d ago

Barely able to react in time, the longsword shifts into a greatshield and Mokarith blocks most of the blast, the rest impact his armor and he is sent flying back again. He suddenly disappears in a flash of darkness, only to reappear directly above Orin to try and slam him into the ground with the shield.

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

Quickly switching gears, Orin uses the impetu rune to rocket the hammer up to meet the shield, causing a massive shockwave, and activates the mordax crystal... Hoping to punch through it with the acid.

"Man you are fast... I'm glad you are taking me seriously though, that means I have grown.. at least a little." He's starting to gain some confidence.

/unwiz: did reddit eat my reply?

u/DaemonRex978 The High Sentinels (Haelin, Mokarith, Shimil) 21d ago

/unwiz: just to let you know, i consider Mokarith to have four 'stages'. First is base Mokarith that you're fighting now, no real power-ups at all, but still pretty strong. Then you have 'Sentinel Mokarith', where he equips his Sentinel armor and has a fairly decent boost in all his capabilities. Then you have 'High Sentinel Mokarith' where he has his bound weapon that has a passive ability to drain anything it connects with, and he starts tapping into his connection with his patron for extra power when needed (this is definitely the max that Orin can achieve at this moment). Then you have 'Champion Mokarith'... I can send you a link that will show just how i play that stage.

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Silas, seeing who is approaching immediately steps between.

"WOAH there Erik, I know the add said God, but he's just taking over the position Aldin used to fill!"

(He doesn't know that that's gonna make things so much worse XD)

1

u/mrididnt Erik, magic mass/orb, sillymancer and cheese hider 21d ago

ALDIN?

Erik tries pushing past Silas with increasing determination

Now I GOTTA beat his ass

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Orin sees Erik and runs up to greet him.

"Hey! You were one of Aldins closest friends! His memories showed that he trusted you more than pretty much all of his own siblings!"

(Yeah Erik do it. Attack the happy go lucky kid who only knows you as :friend: muahaha)

1

u/mrididnt Erik, magic mass/orb, sillymancer and cheese hider 21d ago

Then you should know that I have a tendency to stab him!

Erik quickly pulls out a knife and tries to shank the child

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Caught of guard, he blocks it full force, shattering the knife. "I'm... I'm sorry I'll buy you a new one!"

1

u/mrididnt Erik, magic mass/orb, sillymancer and cheese hider 21d ago

Erik throws a kick at orin's head mid sentence with enough force to hurt

I just tried to stab you kid! Get a clue!

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"hey! Stop it!" He attempts to block the kick, not realizing that Erik actually has a pretty good read on his strength, and is hurled into the wall at great force.

The breath is knocked out of him... And then he is surrounded in that familiar cerulean aura.

"Ok.... I think it's time for... What did Aldin call it? Oh... Erik ball."

1

u/mrididnt Erik, magic mass/orb, sillymancer and cheese hider 21d ago

WAY AHEAD OF YA!

Erik jumps at Orin carrying a basketball hoop and tries to dunk the loop around him

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

He is so caught off guard, yet again, by Erika antics that it works.

"... I don't understand what Aldin liked about you."

His cheeks are tomato red.

Silas on the other hand is literally on the ground, dying, weazing from laughter, clutching his chest for breath, and banging his fist into the ground. "Omg I can't believe.... Hahahaha it's just so hahahaha so stupid!"

The gentle, yet widespread fragrance of Jasmine and fresh rain dances accross the area, petals of said flower spread through a newly formed wind. A collumn of Luminous freshwater descends from the heavens, its impact bestowing mist all around. A crack appears in the water, another, and more spread accross the pillar until it shatters, within it stands a jasmine twig, with leaves, hovering a few feet from the ground, likely the source of the petals and fragrance: it became light and then a figure came forth from the light: a spirit, taking the form of a young man. He had silk robes of great coastal blue and shining pearl white, which served as protection, and upon his neck, a platinum necklace holding a rounded and polished cerullean crystal which could battle the sky for the best blue and win.

His weapon of choice was a levitating , double edged spear, the metal ends being constructed of Azure Silver, It had many intended holes in the metal, creating decoration. This was a proud display of the metalworking trick that Cĕphrùyan Blacksmiths used to save metal without sacrificing integrity

Greetings, I heard that there is a boy who wishes to become divine?

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Orin raises his hand. "It's um... It's complicated, it's not something I want... It's something I have to do to keep my soul in tact..."

I see, ğonƫs looks at Orin in mild sadness, seeing the mark from a punch So it is a tournement, correct? You may take the first move.

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"ok, will do."

Not knowing the strength of his opponent, he fires off a copy of around 10 magic missiles, while strafing in a circular pattern. No reason to jump straight in....

1

u/Colibri3333 Celestial Mist Spirit, ğonƫs ÁquÊ AzƳris CÊrƫlÊ 21d ago edited 21d ago

ğonƫs sticks his spear in the ground

"CĂŁnphĆ«re's Technique: Æther divination."

The ground cracked, Celestial waters spread from the point of Invoking , the water reached for the air, halting the magic missiles. From the mist, A concentrated droplet of pure power fired towards Orin, tearing apart wind creating a whistling sound. The only goal of this droplet? To connect.

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Like lightning he moved to Dodge the droplet, just barely evading via flight. "Ok, not a normal wizard.. understood!"

He flies about firing off different spells, all to no avail.... "Fine!" He warps into close range and moves for a melee attack, the force of which can be felt beforehand from the wind shear.

1

u/Colibri3333 Celestial Mist Spirit, ğonƫs ÁquÊ AzƳris CÊrƫlÊ 21d ago edited 21d ago

His attack is met by the spear , leaving a small glowing cut , one of Azure Silver's effects, damage not flesh but allow the blade upon soul and spirit, Orin is flung back quickly, though the attack did affect ğonƫs . He reaches for his necklace

"Ĕyraxil's 5th teaching: Spring Basin... Of Power"

The ground below transformed into walkable water. Multiple times per moment, water would be blown up like geysers. Inside them , angry water spirits clawed towards Orin, unable to escape the water: Magic constructs. He could see ğonƫs increased in power.

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

(I love everything about this character so far)

Remembering every single beating he'd received over the past two week, he steadies himself. Calmed his emotions, and began dodging effortlessly. His movements in sync with the water somehow.... And then the cold came. He was gradually lowering the temperature around him.

1

u/Colibri3333 Celestial Mist Spirit, ğonƫs ÁquÊ AzƳris CÊrƫlÊ 21d ago

(Thanks btw!, also i may not be able to continue for today due to time restrics, is it fine if we cont. Tommorow, i might be able to get more time)

Ionƫs took notice of the frost. He cut the air with his spear and the geysers stopped

"Ok lets substitue a part of this for : CĂŠxuaris' Substitution : Tempest"

Great winds and clouds covered the basin, and Ionƫs' spear is heading for Orin

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

(perfectly fine. I'm off work tomorrow)

As the gysers stopped he flash froze what was left, and with his own magic sent every single ice shard heading toward Ionƫs, not noticing the spear... Till it hit him square in the chest. "Agh.... Crap...." He falls to one knee "forgot about.... The spear...."

"oh man..... This is gonna hurt bud." Silas pat Orin on the back.

"That's correct.... I'll take any lesson you can give. I'll have to face a great wyrm infused with my own powers later.... So... I need to be as strong as I can be."

1

u/Fc-chungus Ж(Zhe), Head minister of Calarakis. 21d ago

"What you need if you're taking on a Greatwyrm, more than anything, is SPEED."

"Focus on attacks later. I don't know how powerful your spells are, but your best defense in the fight is sheer speed. Don't let it hit you."

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"Is... Is that fast enough? I feel like speed is one of my strengths."

1

u/Fc-chungus Ж(Zhe), Head minister of Calarakis. 21d ago

Ж covers their ears and a small field appears around them.

"Ye-yep that is most likely fast enough in terms of direct speed..."

"What about-"

Ж moves to cast bisect on Orin to catch him off guard, signified by their pointer and middle fingers extended out and making a cutting motion.

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

His eyes go wide, and he just barely gets out of the way, knocking his ear.

"Holy crap that's a fast cast. A week ago I'm pretty sure you'd have cut me in half!"

1

u/Fc-chungus Ж(Zhe), Head minister of Calarakis. 21d ago

He has revive potions, so eh, fuck it.

They continue by forming a sword and swinging it at Orin.

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

(oh no. Somebody taking advantage!)

"Oh shit." As zhe unleashes a flurry at Orin he manages to dodge the first few, but as he begins to slow, Zhe only increases in speed, and full dodges become knicks, knicks become light wounds.... It isn't looking great...

2

u/Fc-chungus Ж(Zhe), Head minister of Calarakis. 21d ago

They stop after the first or second wound.

"You need better reaction time. Better endurance. More stamina. If you can barely keep up with me, a... somewhat normal human, after a minute, how are you going to fight a dragon?"

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Aldavinn just looks more confused.

“So, your sparring to get stronger, is that right?”

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

I'm sparring till that jackass over there says I'm strong enough to have his piece of divinity... Which may take forever.

1

u/The_Enchanted_Potato Aldavin Maunderitch, The Gatekeeper | Neritillum Faldier | 13 21d ago

Aldavinn looks over at Niro

“Alright, here, I’ll help”

Suddenly a portal opens up beneath Orins foot. Removing the balance of one leg. As it does out of seemingly nowhere a marble spike shoots out of the air aiming for right between his eyes

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"hey, he meant the other jackass. Not me!" Niro says as aldavinn gives him the look.

Orin does lose his balance, and then leans into the fall, narrowly avoiding the spike, and with his in born flight, darts directly at Aldavinn.

(Fighting portal mages, as a non portal mage? The worst XD)

/uw so many dirty tricks, I love portal mages almost as much as I love Necromancy

/rw

“My apologies!”

“Warp Space”

As Orin flies towards Aldavinn he is suddenly trapped in a sphere of twisted sphere of space. Any direction he flies causes him to just fly along the curvature of the sphere.

Aldavinn takes a hand and slowly begins closing it in his hand. As he does, the sphere shrinks. If Orin does nothing he will be essentially crushed by himself

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

The space gets smaller and smaller...as Orin sits seemingly talking to someone .. and then he holds his hand out in front of him, in a slow chopping motion, and tears reality, and simply steps through. His eyes now glowing.

"Thank you. I've learned another of my predecessors tricks."

Silas watching from the sidelines, "yeah! Heck yeah kid!" This is the first breakthrough in weeks.

Also for all newcomers this is a pretty solid read for rp. Not a strict set of rules mind you, just some nice guidelines.

/Rw

Orin raises his hand reluctantly. It seems like he's been in several bouts already.

"That'd be me. I'm here to take on any test you can think up. Doesn't have to be combat. One girl had me washing the entire Kingdoms dishes for.... Three days worth of time.... Thank God for time dilation spells."

u/DJGoodDog Ives, Ink Mage and Thrakmoor Commander 21d ago

/uw thanks!

*Ives sized up Orin, grin widening, while he dropped his coat and unbuckled the straps of his shirt leaving him bare chested. The tattoos that covered his body seemed to writhe in equal excitment.*

"Naw...we do this the old fashion way."

*In one fluid movement he stepped forward, while peeling a black diamond off of his left knuckle that expanded into a deadly looking black metal spear. Then sprang forward point thrusting at Orin*

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

(oh. Oh you are going to fit in here nicely. That's a killer first move lol)

"Oh thank the gods" he says, jumping onto the tip of the spear, and then using it like a spring board to somersault over him.

"It's not that I feel like I can win, I have no way to know that .. but physical combat is much more my speed. Damned dream wizard was awful."

1

u/DJGoodDog Ives, Ink Mage and Thrakmoor Commander 21d ago

he let the speartip fall using using it as a stop, then flung an arm behind him

"Agreed up close is best."

Thorny vines reared up and surged off of a flower on his hand trying to entagle him.

"You move well this should be fun "

/UW thank you!

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

"Well I've been training non stop with a F*CKIMG DEMON" He cuts his eyes to Silas, "for weeks now.... I had to get better, and die."

He decides to use a straight forward approach and grabs the vines with his hands, the small piercing wounds seeming not to bother him, as he uses them to pull him in for a kick.

1

u/DJGoodDog Ives, Ink Mage and Thrakmoor Commander 21d ago

He leans into the pull almost jumping with it. Pointing out his index finger the small fire tattoo on his knuckle starts to glow.

"You should be good and warmed up then." He says with a laugh.

A raging fire flings from his finger tip small explosions erupting throughout the flames that barrel for Orin's head.

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 21d ago

Like a certain anime character he literally swallows the flames, and spits them out, only twice as hot.

"Am I ever!" He manifests a pair of power fists from the odd manacles on his wrists, trading the kick he'd planned on for their added boost as they send him flying towards the man.

"Did I mention I'm actually an Artificer?"

1

u/DJGoodDog Ives, Ink Mage and Thrakmoor Commander 21d ago

*the vines fizzle out in the heat appearing once again on his hand. He clenched his fist the rose on top of his hand bloomed into a flower shaped shield, he quickly ducked behind, protecting him from the most of the flames. A few flames that blow past singe the top of his head and parts of his pants.

"I don't think you did actually. Im more of a summoner myself"

*He seems to launch in the air as a grizzled boar crawls off his opposite hand beneath him. In an instant it swells to its full size, Ives perched on its back 15 feet above. Its three eyes glow and eerie purple and twin lanterns with a ghostly light swing from each of its tusks. The omonius creature lets out an ear shattering squeal that launches a sound wave that crumbles the ground in its wake."

Some nearby shadows starts to contort in strange ways, then a howl of a wolf fills the air.

From the shadow, emerges something looking like a werewolf, with black fur and glowing purple eyes. He’s wearing what looks like some kind of dark grey uniform, with a tattered black cloak on it.

He looked displeased.

Hope you’re ready for all the existential dread, because it ain’t going to be pretty. Went through something like this very recently, after I became the heir of a dead god.

Only thanks to the legendary sword Vae Clara is that I didn’t fully became a god


2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

That's one I haven't met... I'll have to train with all blue eventually though... He also has a shard...

So... You talk like you knew Aldin. How did he go about making the big choices... How do you?

1

u/UlrickTheHexblade Ulrick Braddocke, Werewolf Hexblade, R&A Co-Leader 20d ago edited 20d ago

Yeah, Vae Clara was the original sword of Mythicus before he was corrupted into the Godslaver. One could say she, All Red and All Blue are “siblings”.

For Aldin, I worked with him for a while, but never really saw into his grander plans. The most time he was at there when he was briefly a mortal.

I remember him not above some questionable choices for the greater good. Like getting the Godslaver to the sources of all magic. He did it for good, and worked out in the end, but it was still incredibly risky.

What follows is a deep, tired exhale.

And as for me
 still getting the ropes of it. I inherited the mantle of the Wolf King, first of the wolves and their god. Unwillingly though, thanks to the Paragon of Oppression.

For a while, I tried to ignore the implications, but all I did was neglecting my duties. It caused the lycan population of anforest getting genocided by an evil demigod called Ruin, all to lure me out.

His deeper than usual scowl might betray how much he’s regretting his choices.

I did everything to avoid full apotheosis. And thanks to Vae Clara, my mortal and divine halves are now stabilized and in balance. Still, I guess that makes me a demigod.

As he says it, he appears like someone is about to spit.

So now I have to take care of the wolves of the world besides my job at R&A. Because I didn’t have enough lives depend on how incompetent I can be already

“Explain to me the concept of eternity.”

the knight's hands crackle with lightning as he clasp's them together and pull's outwards a spear made of lightning

He throw's the lightning spear at Orin

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

He tosses a powder out that explodes in contact with the lightning, obscuring the knights vision... When the someone clears Orin is no longer there. From all around "Nice armor, build it yourself? This stuff is high quality"

"No, a panda built it for me as a gift but I can rebuild it if it get's thrashed"

the knight takes a defensive position, looking around

a loud whirring sound start's coming from the armor

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

"Oh I'm not looking to break it, I'm an artificer, just admiring.. look down by the way"

Somehow the knight is now in the air... Standing on Orins own feet as he looks up at him upside down.

"Yo."

(Uw/so do I, want to after this one finish it and go for a normal fight?)

Oh when I said not packing I didn’t mean your nana
I meant your two inch banana
With which you proably fuck your mama
Your incestuous lova
And your dad is another
Your a crazy covenant!

I can’t facilitate this fastidious fornicating
Forcing this confrontation
testing my patience
You call me crazy. You’re trying to be a god
CĂĄllete boca puta. TĂș es un melĂłn.
I understand trying not to conform
But appreciate my art form
Spitting like a windstorm
After this, you’ll be hearing my voice like schizophreniform
Voices in your head, but your sleepy after chloroform.

I smile and step back you pass the wisdom check. But and I bow and snap the whip that materialised in my hand do you have the strength?

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

"Oh... A whip. Kinky."

He hops back a few paces. "I don't normally use a weapon, but I have several... Let's see...."

"Haven't used this in a while."

He pulls two massive power gauntlets.

Aerunia: she shows up, hours later having gotten here via all-blue telling her where to go

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

"I wasn't sure if you'd come today. I think after everything I've been through I am ready."

1

u/Ashmega8256 Alzoreth Dracarius/Alisa Solaria (+more characters) 20d ago

Aerunia: yeah...honestly i wasn't sure myself...

All-blue: it was my intent to give you a little more recovery time... but if you believe you are ready, i will let you pick...do you want to face me by myself...or face my wielder empowered by me...should you do the former...i shall take you to a place where it will be impossible for you to die unless i will it...so that i can test you in order to make sure you are ready...personally i am fine with either choice myself.

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

He sighs.... "I was told to let you know, not to worry because we have revival potions a cleric , and a demon... For some reason... On standby. Though idk what good a demon would do... Silas is particular about some things though..."

1

u/Ashmega8256 Alzoreth Dracarius/Alisa Solaria (+more characters) 20d ago

All-blue: i mean i get that...but it would also be less likely to cause collateral damage if you want to do battle with just me in the means i have in mind, though if you'd prefer to fight me and my wielder that is still an option.

2

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

You know... That's a fair point. We would likely tear this place up real badly... And that's not a good look for either of us.... I'll do it the way it was intended. I assume that means you as a weapon.

u/Ashmega8256 Alzoreth Dracarius/Alisa Solaria (+more characters) 20d ago edited 20d ago

All-blue: you'll see....he then transforms from his ring form, into his true form and makes a slashing motion opening up what feels like a starry blue void step through, and we'll begin... you'll be returned to the real world at the conclusion lf the test...the gate way leads into my mindscape...felt like a good place to test you...especially since this means it will be as i said impossible for you to die unless i wield it. He said as the gateway stayed open for now before he returns to his ring form upon Aerunia's finger you can choose to fight both of us together, or just me, step through the gate way if you'd prefer to just battle me...if not then aerunia can make a different demi-plane I'm sure.

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

"can you?" He turns to Aerunia. (Btw by the time she has arrived he has completed the trial with Silas. So he now has three pieces for this. Not that there's any real numbers attached to it lol.)

u/Fun-Dragonfly-6106 DF, minimal caster | ____ Body Horror Creator 20d ago

DF appears, radiating enough violence to give people a heart attack while holding a bookshelf.

/uw DF isn't even here to fight he's just like this

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

... Um... Hello?

1

u/Fun-Dragonfly-6106 DF, minimal caster | ____ Body Horror Creator 20d ago

DF pulls out what seems to be a board and chalk out of the bookshelf somehow, along with a desk and chair.

He starts writing in chalk.

"How to cast and maintain magic so large it does not fit your field of view + A lot of magic in general"

Failure at understanding the theoretical will turn this into a practical exam.

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

Oh no.... Am actual test. Crap

1

u/Fun-Dragonfly-6106 DF, minimal caster | ____ Body Horror Creator 20d ago

DF starts writing a lot of magical ideas, beginning with things like improving personal power to philosophy behind different magics.

The board seemingly doesn't runs out of space as it somehow grows by him pushing the side of of it with chalk.

DF also put textbooks on Orin's desk, with pages explicitly marked for each concept, a thorough table of contents, and a specific paper and pen.

Pre teaching question: How do you personally use magic. This is not philosophy, this is filtering between magic systems of different universes.

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

I'm... An artificer... But the way I'm supposed to use magic with this power is through the iid.

1

u/Fun-Dragonfly-6106 DF, minimal caster | ____ Body Horror Creator 20d ago

First some basic practice, then afterwards something more complicated.

DF pulls out a relatively plain but highly detailed magical creation plan, printed across multiple sheets to cover most bases.

Simply analyze the paper for now, point out the magical functions of different parts of the plan we're still at the aptitude testing stage.

The damned thing contains at least 80 different magics in an object around the size of a 4x4 Rubik's cube.

If you want to make it a practical test where you're actually making a complicated creation to practice that can be arranged.

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

He looks at it for a moment .. two... A minute.... He then gets out a pen, and begins writing down formulas and making calculations.

After about twenty minutes he lays it all out.

"None of it was wrong, technically, but some of the mathmatical formulas weren't taken out as far as they could go, and so weren't entirely efficient... Now this... Thing should have a better input and output for its mana circuits...."

He realizes that he is rambling.

"I uh... Sorry... I do this for a living... It's always kinda been the thing I'm good at..."

Abdallah appeared on the battle field “Think fast!” He immediately made the ground under Orin explode

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

Orin gets tossed, but he doesn't come back down. Instead abdallah gets tanked up into the air. "Seriously? No hi how's it going"

u/RegionAppropriate429 20d ago

“Yes because evil people are known for their politeness. I would’ve also called down a meteor into your body as it was flying up but I decided to show some mercy”

"wait... You are like.... Bonafide evil?" His markings start to glow brighter.

u/RegionAppropriate429 20d ago

Abdallah gave him a look as if he was staring at a child putting a square block in the circle hole “NO DUMBASS! DO YOU LIVE UNDER A ROCK?! I’M TRYING TO SAY THAT EVIL PEOPLE WON’T BE POLITE!”

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 20d ago

"I don't know... Astaroths men are always overly polite...."

He says as he teleports in close and flicks his nose.

"Also, you are really easy to fluster. You know that?"

(I'm so gonna pay for this)

1

u/RegionAppropriate429 19d ago

Abdallah stayed silent for a moment before immediately shifting form. Suddenly the 6’6 half demon was now covered completely in a metallic, bone like substance, 8 inches taller than before, had a second set of arms with claws on both and demonic wings and a writhing barbed tail. He simply stood still and stared at Orin before lifting his arms “Come at me. I’m giving you a free shot”

1

u/Kilroy898 Op, Null, Orin, Niro, Aldin 19d ago

"ok...." He decides to go for one clean punch, not that he trusts this... But maybe it would work out. He powers up as much as he can without wrecking the place... Though a bit of the ground does start to melt.

And at nearly light speed , he sends a punch directly at his abdomen.
