WELL, HE DID HIS BEST
Hiralâs feet touched down at the same time everybody elseâs didâon the far side of the room from where theyâd just beenâbut he didnât dash forward like the others. No, he practically stood still, focusing on his power flowing through the scarves to his party members. On the connections heâd made with the people ahead of him, and most importantly, on what he could do with those connections.
Restoration was still going strong, working with the potion in Yanilyâs body, the Waters of Frey, and the Banner of Courage to mend the spearmanâs wounds. Hiral had said heâd protect them from the golemâs runesâwhich he wouldâbut was that all he could do?
A smile quirked his lips as he began to test.
First came his Rune of Increase, while he focused on the simple concept of his friendsâ attributes. Almost immediately, the others moved faster, reaching the golem just as the three illusions spun around and started their dash back to attack the party.
Yanilyâs spear lashed out with a barrage of lightning-fast thrusts to hammer into the Guardianâs shield of Rejection, while the others split off to circle around. Fire erupted from Seenaâs bulky gauntlets, washing over the side of the golem, and Seeyela vanished with a bamf. From the other side, Right and Left crisscrossed their way into melee range, lines of infernal fire and inky water overlapping with the afterimage left by their pseudo-aspects.
Out and around came the golemâs scythe to cut the doubles offâliterallyâand Left smoothly took the lead, his Dagger of Sath rising to parry the blow. Comically undersized compared to the incoming weapon, Left didnât hesitate in his movement, trusting in Hiral to protect him from the terrible power of the Rune of Separation.
Hiralâs own rune flooded down through the connection, bolstered by his Rune of Decrease and its Edict. As soon as it reached his double, it raced along his limbs and into his dagger, glowing with a power only Hiral could see, almost like the Rune of Separation had etched itself into the liquid weapon. Now, it was only a question of whether or not Left couldâ¦
Scythe met dagger, and where Hiral expected a titanic clash, it was entirely anticlimactic. No shockwave. No explosion of opposing forces, though the sheer weight behind the golemâs strike was enough to push Left back. But in that brief opening, Right ducked inside the Mid-Bossâs guard, while Seeyela appeared on top of the arm to run straight up the still-moving limb.
/(O_O)
The suddenly shocked face of the Guardian didnât slow Right or Seeyela, and Hiral channelled more power though his connection with the two. Impact and Breaking joined Increase as Rightâs fist pulsed with power, the infernal flames creaking as they degraded reality where they passed. For Seeyela, Hiral added Gravity to reinforce her own powers, along with Compression to focus the tips of her fangs.
As one, the pair struck, Rightâs fist smashing into the golemâs chest while Seeyela drove both of her Fangs of the Lady into the golemâs shoulder.
