Sorry for the late update guys.

But like I said before, updates will now be a bit random until I have a definite schedule.

Anywhore, ONWARDS!!

|Arthur's POV|

Before any one of the Wraiths before us could move, Regis pounces forward with the speed and strength of a canon ball. Purple flames flair out wildly and engrosses him mid air. As his flaming form comes into contact with the enemy, he cackles at the widened eyes of Ulrike and Ifiok. I could feel his excitement through our bond, but I could also feel the insanity that came with the flames of destruction that he was made out of.

My attention quickly turned as I felt the skin on my left arm burn. Looking down, a dark green, slimy tentacle coils around my arm. Somehow burning through my armor and damaging the skin beneath.

Acid.

More acidic tentacles coil around me, burning at the feathers of my wings, seemingly trying to get a good grip on me as my eyes trail slowly over to Richmal.

I feel violated.

His tentacle infested, raised arms jerk back as I feel his tentacles tug and pull on me, trying to force me into his direction. Didn't move an inch. Instead, I wrap my hands around the burning, putrid acid tentacles that coiled around my arms, and pulled.

Richmal's eyes widen as his form takes to the air, nearing me before black wind envelopes him and the acidic tentacles he formed around me loose shape, slopping grossly to the floor. Black spikes erupt from the ground, shooting up into the air before spiraling back down in my direction.

My vision shifts as aetheric pathways come into existence. Choosing one, with only a few steps I am halfway across the cavern. Darkened eyes widen as I neared the shadowy form that I knew could cause the most trouble. She was the "saving grace" of this team of wraiths, as she used her magic to protect and aid her comrades, yet never really fought in the battles herself.

"Valeska—!" A shaken Blaise calls out as black fire flares to life right in front of me. I surge through the blackened flames unharmed, honing in on Valeska, who falls further into the shadows, disappearing from sight.

Right, shadows are the main part of Valeska's mana arsenal, I reminded myself as purple lightning crackles around my form. Before any one of them could blink, I reappear in front of Blaise, striking his sternum while staving off his black flaming fist. The force of my hit knocks his back into the far wall behind him, denting said wall. Black mist like wind then hides away his prone form, before disappearing from sight.

The cavern shook as loud cackles from my companion resounds around us, seemingly fueling the chaos. Ulrike's pitched scream follows soon after as purple flames eat at her lightning encased body. Regis lunges forward, his maw snapping shut around the upper half of her body with a heavy crunch. His sharpened, destruction filled teeth carving through her armor and flesh, ripping her upper half from her lower body.

'How charming.'

'She oddly tastes like raw tomatoes.'
