Elder Blood Witcher 173 Solaire Mvp?

Reima and Solaire cautiously look at the huge stone coffin that peeks out of the ground, lid ajar allowing them to spy into the dimly lit room inside. While it's hard to see they manage to spot a black figure working over a table while surrounded by a large pile of books, Pinwheel. Reima doesn't know much about the person, or people that make up the being known as Pinwheel but he vaguely remembers it has something to do with necromancy and trying to bring someone back from death.

The black cloaked figure doesn't seem to notice their heads poking through the roof behind him, Reima looks at Solaire. "We're gonna have to fight this thing." His friend replies surprised, "Why? He looks harmless."

Reima just shrugs, "Wait until he turns around, then you'll see." he says as they enchant their weaponry and jump into the coffin.

They land with a splash into shallow water that seems to have collected on the floor, Reima's ring snuffing all sound of his impact but Solaire's is still audible. The black figure turns abruptly revealing three masks moving independently... They each depict different things, one of the mother, son and father. The masks looks at each other before three pairs of arms? Sprout from the figures cloak and start glowing orange on the ends of them.

Reima really wants to recover those books without setting fire to them, so he immediately jumps into action, charing at Pinwheel while swinging his Fiery divine silver sword at it. Pinwheel spins as this happens and seems to disappear momentarily... This is until four identical figures appear out of no where and start hurling Sorceries at Reima and Solaire, the latter bringing up his Crystal knights s.h.i.+eld to block most of the magical damage. Once he blocks a couple he charges a Sunlight spear and throws it towards one of the Pinwheels, it strikes true and creates a large singed hole where it'd hit... Unfortunately the injured Pinwheel isn't quite dead yet.

Reima blinks away as three Pinwheels start firing various spells at him, the hardest to dodge being the Homing Soul ma.s.s that all of them seem to be favouring... He manages to slice what he thinks is a clone on it's chest, cutting the black robe open and revealing a horrific mishmash of flesh, he gets an eye full of what looks like female b.r.e.a.s.t.s mixed with a young boys face. He manages to stop himself throwing up and stabs at the sickening sight, intending to end the boys suffering. He pierces forehead of the child causing the figure to fade away, unfortunately it appears to have been a clone, he dodges to the side as more Sorceries are launched at him.

Solaire isn't fairing as well as Reima, his limited mobility against a creature able to easily float around him as limited him to Miracles. While this doesn't render him completely useless after his first successful lightning bolt the Pinwheel seems to have created counter measures against it. Every time he attempts to throw another the creature fires a stream of fire towards him, making him dodge and preventing him from forming the lightning bolt completely. His s.h.i.+elds ability to negate magic is helping immensely however, especially when combined with his magically resistant silver armour he's not going to be put down any time soon. He sees from his peripheral vision that his companion had slain one of the figures already, making Solaire feel slightly inadequate for having trouble dealing with a single one. He shakes his head and decides to prove himself worthy of his companion and leaps under Pinwheel, the creature seems confused at this but attempts to launch another stream of fire at Solaire as it sees him charging some kind of spell... This is blocked however when Solaire raises his s.h.i.+eld above him and continues charging it, after another moment he slams his brightly glowing fist on the floor which causes many lightning bolts to form out of the air and slam down on everything around him. This obviously includes Pinwheel who's struck many times as it is currently in the focal point of the spell.

Reima notices the light show going off where Solaire is and idly wonders how much he is actually holding back? He looks at his enemies that seem to have started to fade away? It seems that Solaire's opponent was the real one. He walks over to his slightly battered companion and notices a wispy red symbol coalescing in the air, he grabs it and looks closer only then realising that this is the writ of kindling, the thing the enables you to upgrade the bonfire's at the cost of humanity. He wonders if it has any other uses but he pulled from his thoughts by Solaire, he stores the strange object and looks over to his friend.

Solaire "Good battle my friend! Now that's what I call Jolly cooperation!" he says clapping Reima on the shoulder.

Reima "You got the real one, nice spell by the way, I'm still wondering why you hadn't used it in our earlier battles though."

Solaire sends a bright smile at Reima, white teeth fully on display and somehow sparkling? "I had only designed this technique recently, I admit it's not very creative but It's certainly effective!"

Reima nods, "You got any more surprises?"

Solaire frowns, "I hope not... If I were to use "that" technique we'd have to be in a dire situation indeed." Reima isn't really sure what "that" is but he's looking forward to seeing it.
