Vartock woke up feeling a little light headed as the room he stood in was dark. Thinking too himself great i drank far too much again but before he could respond he heard announcements go off. Vartock was not phased with any questions his mind focused on the here and now. All we are missing now is the song living dead girl by rob zombie. One of his favorite famous music artists back in the real world. One the less vartock wasnt going to back down from a challenge. Vartock began walking through this dark maze awaiting for anything to come at him. Then goblins came from out of nowhere. Vartock remained blank and emotionless he then got in his fighting position his third eye opening his dark purple energy pulsating around him releasing his white aura. The goblins lunged in for an attack some had swords some with clubs and others with vows and arrows. Vartock started making the ground shake as his energy continued charging before vartock knew it arrows came flying at him as the goblins with swords lunged in at him vartock took the arrows full force but the tips corroded before impact due to his black plague releasing from his body the swords were also corruded in half before reaching the surface of his skin vartock then grabbed the two goblins who lunged by the wrists and dropkicked the front goblin in the face while doing a back flip he dropped down still holding on to the other two golblins as their wrists and arms started to rott off vartocks energy draining as more arrows came flying and stuck vartock in the left shoulder left arm and leg his energy corruded the arrows to dust as hen drew back his right arm before extending it forward in a finishing punch blow that exploded the goblin into pieces droppin his energy down to 80% vartock then lifted his left leg up kicking the other goblin in the face before following up with multiple punch combos each impact caysing poison rot to the goblin.his health took damage by 5% due to the arrows.

 

Oikawa grimaced at the sight before them. Despite it's stature and size, the beast was still just as disgusting to look at as roadkill would be on the side of the road. Mangled muscles, chunks of flesh, and rotting bone trampled through the graveyard at an alarming pace. Decaying fumes emanated from the warmonger with each waking step, sending tremor like waves beneath their feet. Oikawa turned to face Ayame again. The woman still remained silent and the creature would be within attacking range in minutes.

He almost opted to shake the girl from whatever thoughts were causing her to freeze, but suddenly she snapped from it and asked about his non-magical capabilities. Unfortunately the knight would be disappointed, because aside from his magic, the noirette wielded nothing.

"I do not," he announced. More than likely confirming the girl's worst fear of having to not only set her friend free, but protect herself as well as him from this raging undead behemoth. However, if that was indeed the case, she didn't show it as she stepped between him and the creature. A look of composure overtook her features as she darted towards the beast. Her pole-arm carving out more chunks of the already missing flesh as she nimbly maneuvered between crushing blows from the ghastly goblin.

Stepping back, her panted breaths soon became gasps for air as a blindsided axe swing caught her and tossed her back. Though her health didn't budge much, the girl was clearly shaken from the blow. This didn't stop her onslaught though. In fact it spurred her on as she took aim at it's head. Loping it nearly clean off, before stepping back and catching her breath. Oikawa stood stunned at the damage the knight had produced. This woman is certainly no one to scoff at. Keeping that in mind, he simply remained behind the girl, deciding to offer moral support instead of getting in her way.

"From my observation, and surely you noticed it as well, this creature is extremely slow and now even more sluggish than before. Charge it's right side and once again take of the remainder of its head. If you can handle that, I'll focus on locating the Ebony Duke." Turning on his heel, he pressed forward and began scanning the area for the man Ayame so desperately wanted to save. If he's surrounded by a horde, he can't be to hard to find.

@Ayame

 

Vartock wasnt shook but he heard commotion ahead and could recognize ayames voice talking. Thats all it took for vartock to step up his game as he drew back both of his hands charged energy to form using the combination of his melifimancy, body combat he was able to for a dark energy wave from his hands not to big but enough to explode like a grenade on impact of the victim dropping his energy and hp by 10% he shoots this small dark energy wave at the 4 goblins standing before him.
Vartock shoots this energy wave on impact destroying all 4 goblins melting them to dust due to the poison and rott but vartock was far from finished he got hit with 3 more arrows but dissolved after causing him 2% more damage vartock then used his phantasmia to project an allusion making the goblins believe they were looking the opposite direction vartock was standing in so they redirected their attacks at the maze wall as vartock using 5 % more energy runs up behind the first goblin grald of the goblin in a rear naked choke cutting the air from its lungs before snapping its neck vartock drops the goblin and runs up behind the next goblin and springs his left leg up swings it at the front base of the goblins head with his dark purple energy surrounding him on impact caused the goblins face to rott out as it flewbacwards landing on the ground unable to see much less move as vartocks illusion ended the 3rd goblin turned around and was able to stick vartock in the chest with an arrow as he took 3% damage to his torso he ran jumped and drop kicked the goblin in the chest causing 10% physical damage and 5% poison and rott damage vartocks limit breaker hit as he waited for thr goblin to get back up from that attack vartock drew his right arm back balled his fist and sprung it upward landing his uppercut technique causing the goblins head to explode


The user moves really fast drawing in a uppercut making it feel as if you got hit in the face with a hot frying pan.
The poison and rott causing the hot sensational burns. Vartock lands back down on his feet as he darts forward running as fast as he could towards the upcoming enemies. Up ahead vartock was running straight towards 8 giant sized rats coming right for him, he stopped and charged his energy and mana the rats all came in for attack vartock jumped 4 feet over the rats as they all collided missing their strikes on vartock and accidently hurting themselves vartock then while still in mid air had a split second to flash his dark purple energy through the whole area using a technique called dark solar flare
the caster illuminates the whole area with a bright dark purple energy that temporarily causes blindness for a turn its effectniveness depends on the opponents.
Vartock then drops down digging his heel on the back of the neck causing 20% damage to the first rat. As all of them remained immobolized vartock flared up his aura as it turned blue as he casted a technique called dark energy charge

converts all en and spells into his body the third eye closes for 2 turns and magic is unavailable to the caster, The user focuses during battle in a concentration phase while fighting to regenerate his energy and mana as a penalty depending on rank the user cannot cast any spells or magic during this time until his regeneration to 100% is complete.technique lasts between the time it's used till the end of the battle. Proficient level is 4 turns en and mana regeneration 40%. Vartocks third eye shut as he started to punch and kick the shit out of all of the temporarily blind rats cause 10% damage to all 8 rats.

OOC: Sorry for not posting sooner, was busy with RL crap than I was waiting on Lily to post lol​

Seto

".....Damm......There's no end to these dam things.....I've had to at least killed a hundred of these blasted things......."

It had been nearly thirty minutes since the battle had started with this seemingly infinite horde he was forced to fight, the battlefield was litered with countless craters from his attacks with numerous corpses of the walkers litered all across the battlefield dead yet despite the numbers of the undead that were killed, there was still countless more to take their place. Breathing heavily from the battle so far, he tore off his bloodied and raggy looking Kimono and threw it on the ground since it was now slowing him down and now and it was essentially ripped to shreds with countless markings of battle and blood. Seto couldn't help but growl under his breath since that was his favorite piece of clothing he had in the game and now it laid on the ground near destroyed. If he had knew he would have been thrown into the heat of battle, he would have simply wore his ebony armor he was famous for, not his kimono but at least now, his movement of speed wouldn't be slowed down, allowing him now to go on the offensive If he wished. Even with all the strength he possessed however, this was still a battle of attrition after all and his body was nearing exhaustion, he would have to end this quickly but what to do? He looked over both his shoulders, the majority of the horde was still recovering from his last attack which gave him some distance but it wouldn't take long for them close the gape between them, he needed to think of something quick to give him an edge.

He stood there in a small crater pondering his next move, initially he thought of using Dark Ascension but he quickly wiped that thought from his mind, it was far too soon for him to use that and If he used it now, he would be finished or at least be out of the game for quite some time and with no one to protect him after transforming, he would surely die. He gritted his teeth after a moment of thinking, there wasn't any magice he wielded he could that wouldn't be considered offensive, even his AOE spells wouldn't do no good, even void opener.
As his mind began panicing, an idea came to his mind, It was risky but it would work If he didn't blow the blood vessals in his arms first. Why didn't he think of it earlier? It was so simple, he wanted to smack himself! He would use his mastery in the dark arts to enlarge his muscle mass temporary, increasing his strength long enough for him to wield his two claymore's at the same time. It was true he wasn't skilled in duel wielding and he didn't have Draconic Grip but that didn't matter right now since his solution was only temporary that would only work for a short period of time and these opponents that were forcing his hand were unskilled, unintelligent and slugish monstrosities so having no skills in duel wielding wouldn't be an issue.

Seto decided to not waste anymore time, grabbing his lower right arm with his left hand, almost instantly he began coursing the flow of his energy from his other parts of his body and sent them through his left hand, he could feel the build up of energy within his blood vessals in his left hand, it had felt like his hand was going to explode, If he failed, it wouldn't take long for him to die from internal blood loss so he couldn't screw this up. Seto had to close his eyes and focus all his concentration, the energy was there but it was still in it's most purest state, he had to change it's nature to dark energy by harnessing nature energy found outside his body. It took longer than expected but it only took mere moments for Seto to collect Nature energy from the outside and add it to his energy within his body, soon enough his hand was glowing vile purple with a firery violent aura shooting around his hand. It was done but he still needed to feed it to his other hand. Carefully, Seto transferred an equal amount of dark energy into his other hand, taking great care to take his time in doing so he wouldn't kill himself. In the aftermath of thirty seconds, both his hands and arms were now glowing vile purple with both having a firery violent aura taking form around the arms and hands. Although he felt his body greatly weakened in other area's since he was forced to transfer energy from different parts of his bodies to his hands than when he applied nature energy to change the nature, the cells that helped run his body were currupted and decayed which would force his body to regenerate new cells, he could feel his new found strength coursing through his arms, he felt like he could life a boulder like Vartock had done in the past. He smirked, he figured he would experiement with his new strength since now, the horde was now only about ten feet from him.

With the both of his hands at the same time, his left hand drew his Odachi out of it's Saya while his left hand drew his Elongated Broadsword from it's scabbard located both on his back slowly before pointing both his gigantic blades in the opposite directions towards the horde.

Seto

"Come one, lets dance.....I'm make sure it's the last......."

Seto smirked at the encoming horde as they closed the distance between the Ebony Warrior and themselves, thinking they already won, unforuntely for them, Seto looked towards the ceiling before immediately using his reserves of energy to demterialize his body out of thin aire before materializing a moment in mid air some thirty feet int the air. Seto used the momentum of gravity to smash himself right into the center of the horde from below. Opon landing, the impact caused yet another crater to be formed while at the same time causing a small shockwave to erupt, throwing a number of walkers on their feet. Immediately Seto went on the offensive, rushing the enemy with his broadsword and his Odachi in both hands before they could recover, tearing right through the enemy with a number of vertical and horizonatal cross slashes. His attacks were sluggish and far from elegent as per usual but the area of range he could touch with his two blades made attacking the horde child's play as he tore right through the countless amounts of the undead.

The rats blindness finally stopped after the turn resumed and the rats were still coming for him. Vartock knew he couldn't use magic for 3 turns now as the first turn had already passed. Vartock instead balled his fists up and lifted his left leg up tilting to his side with j his foreleg bent back awaiting for the rats attack. The first 2 strikeout towards vartock but vartock is ready as he jumps and leans forward with his left leg coming in for a missile kick successfully kicking the first rat in the face then performing a series of combo strikes

Both rats end up dead from the strikes but vartock's energy is now dropping fast,Vartock struggling to keep his eyes open. This is the most intense battle I have been in yet, mainly for the fact that these creatures have me in numbers. The next 2 rats come in for their attack as vartock just goes on the evasive maneuvers and moves out of the way of the rats trying to attack. Vartock the thinks to himself omg this is pathetic, Vartock then remember learning something in martial arts bout spirit energy and aerodynamics. It did not take long for vartock to remember an old technique by drawing his own energy from his hp to form an energy attack strong enough to level a small playing field and its enemies.

It snapped in his head the aro sphere he will lose considerable amount of hp but his attack would devastate the last of these rats. Vartock charged his energy and then moved his hands into his correct form and launched his attack, thrusting both hands forward.

Vartock flew backwards after launching his spirit attack dropping his hp down by half, but to no avail the rats and the entire area went up in destruction. Vartock dropped back injured and phased by using that last attack. Breathing heavily as he stood there out of breath but his expression remained blank with undying fire in his eyes.

Vartock sat down and started to meditate to speed up the time it would take for his energy and mana to recover but he knew it was gonna take a long while. he had to rest in order to catch his breath for the next stage of enemies. Then before vartock could think things couldn't get worse, 4 mountain cats came out of nowhere stalking him but vartock remained still. only thing vartock could do at this point was to wait for them to attack then evade, at this point he could not afford fighting them off.

Nonetheless the cats all strikes at vartock when he stood up and jumped out of the way and rolling of and darting the other direction. Vartock knew he could never outrun them but he was willing to try at this point. Death was literally around the corner and vartock was not gonna give up without a damn good fight. The wild cats chased after him as he ran up a wall about 6 feet before back flipping backwards behind the wild cats. Vartock then said it's over as he ran towards all 4 wild cats with all of his indomitable might, and stuck all of them with his bicycle kick dropping all of them down to the ground. He then grabbed one wild cat in a rear naked choke and broke its neck, the other wild cat launched and sunk its teeth in his left shoulder,

vartock cried out in pain as he could feel himself slipping. he then grabbed the cat by its head gripping it tightly before turning around and running back first into the wall crushing all its bones. the other two cats came lunging in for attack so vartock used his spiral round house kick and caused the cats to fly backwards. He then wasted no time jumping up and dropping both feet heel first into the neck of the dazed wild cat lying on the ground breaking its neck.
The other wild cast rolled up to its feet and lunged at vartock, vartock grabs the cat and wraps his upper arm around the top of the wild cats neck. While putting his forearm underneath its neck and vice gripping it tightly so it could not move. martial arts calls this guillotine choke as he pulls up and as hard as he could thrusts and breaks its neck. Vartock drops the wild cat and drops to his knees. Vartock out of breath hoping someone will come to his aid or hoping he can survive long enough to find ayame.

@Alia @Seto Kurama @Ayame

 

Ayame really didn't like her odds at all but she would do what she could to keep them both safe. She was near effortlessly maneuvering around. But this battle was alot for her. And seeing as it was boss of sorts she wondered if she should have some better armor or something. Oh well to late to decide on these things now wasn't it. It wasn't in the nature of the warrior she was emmulating anyways. She was her own woman though and she knew that and she was a formitable opponent in game and out of it.

She looked over to the man as he told her that he had no other weapon and then at him when he finally said what he did about his observation. She could see that it was sluggish but she was running out of stamina and though it was good it wasn't that good. She looked at the creature that was before them and decided to help him get past and pray that this damn thing didn't kill her. She took a breath and went right back to what she was doing buying Oikawa time or at least she hoped saving him some time. She didn't notice that there was someone else coming up on them or anything like that she had a giant goblin to deal with.

Her eyes set looking at her surroundings and what she could use. She didn't have rogue abilities in this game and those might have come in handy here. But she would stare this head on apparently. Now how would she win was the question. She had many things holding her back so did she treat it like an inner demon and could she even kill her own inner demons. She doubted anything was going to go the way that she wanted them to go so she calmy too a moment to limber up a little bit before she ran right at the monster before her.

She took off a bit more of his already rotting flesh but she managed to kilter the monster off balance and when he fell she was standing on top of him not really caring if something was going to eat at her for doing it. She moved the blade of her polearm and finally the thing was dead but she was panting and most of her energy had been used. She moved off the monster and took off to find out where Oikawa had gotten too. It was going to be one of those days she supposed.

@Oikawa Seijuro

 

It seemed it took the Lioness a little longer to wake up then her counter parts. Or perhaps it was because she was biding time to figure out what was going on. Whatever it was when Alia finally opened her eyes she took in her surroundings. She wasn't too sure she liked what was going on at the moment. It wasn't that she really could do anything about it though. She was stuck in a place she didn't even know how she got here and now she was more worried about everyone else. It didn't take long though. She focused on the silence for the second. She had to center herself before she could even deal with the noises around her. Once that was done and she moved out of the room she had woken up in. She paid no mind to the blood that was around the area she was walking through. Her mind was focused on something else. Well to something elses. Finding those fighting and saving them. On top of making sure she got out of this without dying though she wasn't sure what was going on. She didn't know but something told her that she would soon find out what was going on.

"Well look at this everyone The Lioness of Ivalice has awoke finally from her slumber and cared to grace us with her presence in our little game. Now the question is how long can the Lioness stay alive and stay calm when she see what we have in store for those around her." There was a cackle after the words and Alia ignored them she slide past a rat that unseathed her odachi and it was then that she heard Vartock. She made he way towards him. She was careful but between her was another group of cats and Vartock she could see in the distance. Thankfully she at least had some medical equipment with her. of the old school no magic but hopefully just some healing slaves would work.
She kept her odachi close to herself but wondered if it would prove more beneficial if she had her second weapon out. She pulled it anyways and moved for the cat infront of her. They lounged at her but she moved out of the way and duel wielding always made things easier. She moved in a dance with them. A dance that seemed as if it was something surreal because it seemed so effortless in a way. She sheathed her second sword her hands moved to travel just to swing the Odachi as she took the head of the last of the four cats that had come after her. She moved fowared and kept moving foward. Her hand did not leave the hilt of her Odachi though. She kept ahold knowing without needed to hear that this place was not welcoming.

She and the other seemingly invited to a party they did not want to be at at the moment. All the fighting told her that. But where and why she didn't care to know. Only knew that once she was out of this danger whomever had hurt them were going to end up dead too. She knelt near Vartock. She looked him over. "Here take this." She handed him one of her healing potions one she had gotten for someone a long time ago. She wasn't sure how effective it would be but there it was. She looked for another one of her healing slaves though she made sure to keep one hand on her weapon at all times. It seemed those watching them were just waiting to see what else was going to be thrown at them.
"A sweet gesture Lioness but it will do you both no good." Said the voice again as she felt the ground move before she saw the massive dire cat heading their way. well what fun Her eyes flashed but her anger did not get the better of her. She simply stood up and looked the massive dire cat in the eyes. Showing no fear of it. They had been thrown into the lions den but she was a Lioness. And even with that there seemed to be more words that were going to be said but she no longer was listening. Both cat and human stood there sizing eachother up and the slight movements made in both their postures spoke to what was going to happen. If anyone could notice the slight movements. The cat moved first and that started the battle.

Alia parried a claw but it can close. She moved towards the side stabbing the second of her weapons pulled out effortlessly it seemed. Slashing into the cats leg. It howled and reared back but she spun out of the way. It turned on her and away from Vartock as she moved down the tunnel a bit more. At least it was big enough for this type of things. Now the question remained if she could actually kill the beast. She took a breath and dove at the cat rolling under it and stabbing up with her odachi. It howled again and its blood splattered her. But it wasn't down. It struck out this time and nailed her in the back. Not a completely damaging blow but it hurt enough and it caused the Lioness to hiss.

She turned back at the cat and it stood wobbily looking at her. She made a move that wasn't expected she jumped onto the creature which reared so that it could get her off and then fell to the ground to roll but as it did she blinded it before jumping free of it and wincing at the pain. She would deal with that later. She moved on the blinded beast and struck true to its heart and all you heard was a loud roar from the monsteress cat. She fell back to Vartock's side again. "Come on we need to move." she Said not paying mind to the blood now seeping through her dress. Even in armor it had caused blood. She would be fine for now.

 

Theme


Vartock stood there in pain he could feel the blood seeping out of his shoulder and running down his left arm. He was feeding off the pain and it only made him more angry and focused than before. Then vartock heard the announcers "Well look at this everyone The Lioness of Ivalice has awoke finally from her slumber and cared to grace us with her presence in our little game. Now the question is how long can the Lioness stay alive and stay calm when she see what we have in store for those around her."
Vartock immediately knew who they were talking about but couldnt move his anger was rising alot and red energy was glowing around his body. Finally alia caught up to vartock handing him the potion but vartock was too incoherent to respond except by instinct did he take the potion but stuck it in his pocket. Then he heard the announcements again
"A sweet gesture Lioness but it will do you both no good."
Vartock lifted his middle fingers up and screamed the words you fucking bastards are so dead when i find out who and what you are im gonna kill you slowly"
Vartock then heard alia speak for him to move as he darted forward with her, they didnt get far before being stopped by skeleton's. Vartock was thinking we are close to the graveyard where he could hear ayames voice but couldnt spot her just yet. The skeleton came in and chopped vartock in his left arm vartock didnt and couldn't even see it coming. Then everything started to become red his eyes began to glow red the energy that was dark purple turned red his third eye started seeping out dark bright red energy as his health dropped from 43% to 38%. Then an explosion of energy disintegrating the skeleton and blowing alia accross the room away from him as the announcements started "oh haha ho look vartock the mighty is getting a little angry how cute but vartock it will do you no good cause we have only just begun"
Vartock was lost incoherent to the voices his energy now exploding out of him like a red aura Beserk

Vartock enraged and fully lost in his power now he the before alia could even blink burst forward at speeds 20% faster than normal and clotheslined the first two skeletons heads right off the punching through the rest of the 5 skeletons in front of him just bulldozing through the skeletons like giant metal ball breaking through a building finally after the skeletons all fell vartock reached the graveyard still bulldozing through goblins and zombies in no time he reached ayame and some random guy named Oikawa Seijuro. Vartock gave no fucks who was there and in his path he was gone losing himself but fighting and killing every goblin and zombie coming in contact with vartocks fists and kicks destroying everything in his path, vartock then picked up one of the graveyards headstones and busted it over the heads of the zombies roundhouse kicking there heads right off poison may not work but every blow was speeding up there rotting flesh causing the zombies to die faster finally vartock burnt out after the area was completely free of the zombies and goblins vartock dropped to his knees only 5% of his energy remained. Vartock out of breath but stood back up looked over at ayame, walked towards her surprised expression as if she was looking at a ghost grabbed her by the sides of her face and kissed her right there while they had a moment to breath letting her go. Vartock smirks a cocky smirk at her as he spoke

Vartock

"Whats wrong sweetheart? miss me? I told you id always be here for you"

Vartock stared into her eyes waiting for a responce. Before anything though vartock looked around as the room filled up with more enemies goblins hordes of zombies rats wild cat rats skeletons way more than before doubling if not quadrupling the announcers spoke "oh did you really think it was going to be that simple we havent even started yet."

Seto

Despite being in the thick of battle surrounded by a horde that felt endless in size, immediately opon hearing the words of that old fart announcer Seto wanted to murder his hands, his body immediately froze in place, he dropped his odachi and broadsword onto the ground, his mind, his eyes, his hands began to shake slightly, he couldn't believe what he just heard from that bastards mouth, he could think of two things, Alia and her possible death. "Alia here? How? Why? Dammit...." He couldn't stop himself, body and mind from thinking of Alia, the constant images of Alia and her bloodied lifeless body that filled his mind, the more it contiuned, Seto or rather more precisely Ryosuke for that matter was instantly reminded of Satoya's death, the memory of seeing her bloodied and heavily mutilated corpse after her fatel crash caused Seto's eyes to flash open as he roared outloud in pain from the flashbacks. At the same time, the walkers saw the opportunity of a lifetime, lunging themselves at Seto with no concern for their own safety. Unlike the many times before........It worked this time....

"Ohohoh! Would you look at that ladies and gentlemen! It's all over for the Duke of Ivalice! It seems even with all that minster big strong talk, he simply succumbed to zombies! How will the Lioness react to this? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! I CAN'T WAIT! CAN YOU! Bye bye mr.Duke!"

The male announcer was obviously having a field day with the news of Seto's presumed death, being devoured by walkers, this crude, crude man couldn't find out how the Lioness would react to the situation...unfortunately for him and his viewers, Seto was very.....very much alive......they would find out how very wrong they were. Even the shattered and broken teeth of the walkers tearing into his skin and clothes, trying to rip his flesh in an attempt to satified their unyielding hunger, Seto remained frozen, still standing, instead of his mind battered by the death of Satoya and Alia, it was taken over by the blackness of his heart.......There was nothing but the cold touch of death.....he didn't realize he was this close to death or was he? Opening his eyes, his eyes wern't deciving him, he was in this place again, he could feel the cold water upto his hips, causing him to shiver.

​

Looking up at the cage, Kurama with his demonic red glowing eyes returned the favour, gazing back into Seto's eyes, into his very soul in fact. It didn't take any speaking of word to know Kurama was doing what he usually did when the opportunity presented himself. Instantly he couuld feel not just his mind but his entire body being overwhelmed by his primal emotions, within mere moments of meeting the gaze of Kurama, all Seto could feel was the feeling of lost, wanting revenage, wanting to slaughter and spray blood everywhere and bring death to all. Kurama couldn't help but laugh outloud with his demonic tone, he was clearly enjoying this, proving this was far too easy for him despite Seto supposedly being a master. When he was done having a good laugh, with his devlish togue, he whispered these words into Seto's weakened mind.

"Ahh....yes, there it is.....I can feel your hatered boy.....give in......it make you so much......stronger....I can nearly taste it....what are you waiting for? Take it, use it as a weapon against our enemies....give in to your hatred, let it feed you, let it consume your power.........yeessss."​

Immediately hearing those words, Seto's eyes flashed open. From the corners of his eyes as the walkers contiuned to dig their teeth into his shoulders and legs, the ones biting his legs couldn't get through the fabric but the walkers biting in his shoulders were digging their teeth into his shoulder, attempting to tear flesh off. The pain was initially great as he watched the blood flow down his arms but after the initial moment, that pain turned in anger which in return only fueled his rage. With the combination of the pain he recieved from the countless walkers biting into him and the rage placed into him by Kurama, Seto roared once again outloud, this time not solely in pain as before but in pure rage. His eyes became angered as tears came running down his cheeks from his eyes.

"I WILL FUCKING MURDER YOU ALL YOU FUCKING BASTARDS... I WILL SWEAR IT!

Immediately from roaring those demonic like words racing out from his mouth, Seto's eye's turned on fire as his dark energy took form in the form of a dark purple vile aura that flowed violently like a wild fire. Fueled by his rage, he immediately smashed the back of his arm against the walker trying to tear off his flesh. The impact of the hit sent the walker to the ground, freeing up his one arm. With Pseudo Ascended Grip still in effect draining his power and slowly his life force, with his right hand, he drew his Odachi from imbued into the ground with ease and brought it in close to his waist before unleashing a strong horizontal strike on the walkers to his left. With such speed, the Odachi's blade smashed through the first walker but the momentum of the blade was so strong, it ripped through the walker's body with ease as Seto contiuned to apply force to the blade itself, forcing it to tear into the three walkers behind before rushing it to the front with a diagonal strike, tearing an approaching walker in half. More were coming but Seto wasn't exactly himself. "COME ON! LET ME DECORATE THE ROOM WITH YOUR BLOOD! If the demonic voice wasn't a give away, than Seto didn't know what would. Grabbing his broadsword with his left hand, he rose both blades to his right and waited....and waited until the last of the horde was on top of him. With the combined momentum and his strength, Seto spun himself in a three hundred sixty degree attack, with such speed and power, his broadsword and Odachi ripped their blades into the somach's of dozen walkers, tearing through their flesh and skin like scissors cutting through freshly made paper. Finally after a barrage of countless attacks made by him with his Odachi and his Broadsword, his constant attack came to an end with his body coming to a stand still.

Stabbing his blades into the ground, Seto fell to his knee's out of pure exhaustion and of course the pain running throughout his body. Whatever power Kurama lent to him, it was now gone and now Seto was going to have to pay with the after effects. Using such power, all over his body, especially his hands were laid with burn maks thanks to Kurama powers. The burn marks combined with his bodies exhaustion, extensive blood lost and now infected by the walkers that managed to bite into him, his body was at it's limit for the time being, there wasn't any way he could fight on any longer but at least it was over. Although his vision was becoming blurry, he could see Kurama's handy work done in the distance and around himself, dozens, if not a hundred or two corpses of walkers laid peramently dead on the ground, many were missing their limbs while others were ripped in half and even some were in pieces, such a sight put a faint smile on his face. Using the last of his strength, Seto pulled himself up and instinctively, his right hand covered his shoulder wound while his left hand covered his wound on his side near his ribs, both were tear marks by the walkers, although they didn't tear much off skin or flesh, it was enough for it to cause constant bleed. Walking over to wall, Seto laid himself against the wall before rising his head towards the ceiling.

'I'm sorry Alia I wasn't able to protect you, it seems this may be the end."

With that, Seto closed his eyes and fell unconscious, not knowing the announcer heard his last words before he passed out.

"OH OH OH! THAT WAS GOD DAMIT GREAT EVERYONE! DID YOU HEAR THAT! FINALLY THAT PESKY DUKE IS NO MORE! LETS GO OVER THE MATERIAL LAST ONE TIME FOR THOSE WHO WERN'T PRESENT....Now for anyone who doesn't know know, this is the minister Duke's last words so ahemm...caough...."I'm sorry Alia I wasn't able to protect you, it seems this may be the end." SO??!! WHAT DOES THE OL GREAT LIONESS THINK OF THAT?? PRETTY GREAT RIGHT? COME ON YOU KNOW IT'S COMEDY GOlD! SO DRAMATIC!"

With such an announcement from the male announcer, he was sure it would anger the remaining combantats but he didn't care, he wanted to see If they would go crazy! Of all things, he wanted to see what Alia's next move would be!

Oikawa's mind raced. His glance only barely scratching the visual chaos going on around him. Over his shoulder, he spotted Ayame holding up her end of the deal. Combating the rotting colossus once more; buying him time to find the fabled Duke of Ivalice. His panted breaths and tired legs continued to carry him further. The sounds of ghouls, goblins and zombies echoing out into the sky as he traversed the marsh like graveyard they seemed to be trapped in.

Suddenly the earth rattled. A shock wave of energy sparking out from his left as a beam of energy sounded to his right. Massive amounts of magic soon filled the area. The pressure of unyielding spirit and the fear of death lingering around as Oikawa realized it was no longer just himself, Ayame and Seto occupying this setting. His brow furrowed as he paused to catch his breath and balance. Now which way is Seto? Taking a gamble, he headed left.

As he began to follow the aftershocks, a lean figure bolted from the right. Passing him and heading towards Ayame and the rotting warmonger goblin. He had half a mind to turn and warn her, but if she was to fall to the goblin or the trailing figure without Oikawa finding Seto, her death would be surely in vain. Gritting his teeth, the noirette pressed further in to the dimly limit grave. However he didn't have to go far before spotting the crazy pressure he had felt only moments ago.

Red aura blanketed the Duke as he tore zombies from his frame. The pure rage within igniting as he ripped his sword from the ground and began carving the undead apart one by one. Blood seeped from the wounds the man had sustained, but his work with whatever compelled him currently outweighed the damage he had received himself. With flashes of red pulsating around the horde, one by one the creatures of the night dropped and suddenly, they were no more.

Oikawa hesitated to move forward. The man seemed ready for another round before suddenly clutching his wounds and dropping to his knees. The red aura fading and in one swift movement the man dropped unconscious. The announcer suddenly sparked to life once again. Oikawa having ignored him since he announced the goblin warmonger, listened as he echoed Seto's last words. Choosing to not believe the man was dead, Oikawa sprinted out to his body and heaved him over his shoulders. "You better be worth it Duke." (@Seto Kurama )

Dragging the man along, Oikawa made his way back towards where he hoped Ayame still lived. Taking a look at the Duke as he moved, Oikawa spotted the wounds the man clutched. Tearing cloth from his cloak. He applied a somewhat makeshift bandage to cover the wounds. Judging from green affliction around the bite marks, Oikawa was willing to bet the man was infected and as such they had far less time than he thought to get him to safety. Picking the limp Seto back up, he marched on until he spotted the figure that had dashed past him earlier and Ayame in a rather awkward embrace.

"I'm going to assume the goblin warmonger is dead if you two have time to kiss in celebration," roared the noirette as he placed Seto on the ground. "Do either of you know how to cure a Zombie bite infection?"

@Ayame @Vartock

 

Vartock looked at oikawa not understanding or comprehending how he moved through the quadrupling enemies surrounding us now. Vartock pulled his potion from out of his pants and grabbed ayame and told her to drink a quarter of this potion ayame drunk just a little bit but it was able to restore 25% hp and en to ayames status. Vartock then drank a quarter of it himself restoring the same amount back
Vartocks status from drinking potion
Hp 38% increase to 63%
En 5% increase to 30%
Vartock walked over to oikawa who was holding seto asking him to drop him to the ground vartock astonished he looked around it seemed as if the enemies in the room didnt move its almost like whoever was hosting this wqs getting a sick kick out of our pathetic attempt to regroup. Alia shortly caught up to us and vartock waited for oikawa to set the duke down onto the ground once he did he tipped the potion inside setos mouth straight up and down the potion cured the z virus and restored setos hp and en back to 100% the potion was now empty and vartock tossed the flask then hammer fistimg setos chest hard and seto coughed up any poison of the z virus still remaining. Seto would still take time to gain his recomposure when vartocks 6th turn passed finally his energy and mana regenerating by 40% bring him back up to 70% energy and 90% mana vartock smiled but it was lucky they had this much time to recover it seems thofwoman announcer wanted to see all of us all die together as the announcement went over again "oh how adorable there attempts but we love the goving you hope when we know its gonna be ripped away by our hordes hehehehe you all have nothing to fear the end is here!!!"
Vartock reopened his third eye standing there flaring up and charging his energy standing vigilantly as he spoke...
Alright guys the only way out of this is if we work together we should all now have enough power to take these bastards down.
