xinoehp512 Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) 11 hours ago, The Ward's Guard said: The Corpse snapped into action, its rotting limbs moving faster than the beat of a heart. A shard of its Mordite skeleton piercing up and through its hand, puncturing the lifeless skin with ease. Without any hesitation, it jabbed directly for the Enuller's heart. Grace confidently projected a barrier as a shield... ...that the Corpse's attack cut right through. Grace gasped, catching the attack on her Silent blade. Where the blade touched Corpse's flesh, it annihilated it. @The Ward's Guard Edited February 10, 2022 by xinoehp512 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grace gasped, catching the attack on her Silent blade. At the moment of contact, the Corpse danced away. It studied Grace for only a moment before lunging forward again. It jabbed towards the Enuller in rapid succession, making the dance of combat into a brutal engagement with no regard for its own safety. It lunged and struck aggressively, taking no care for defense as it pressed Grace in an attempt to force her to focus completely on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinoehp512 Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Grace managed to block attack after attack, her blade slicing the Corpse's flesh but not its bone. But the Corpse's whole body was a weapon, and Grace was severely outmatched. A deflected attack scraped against her skin, drawing blood. It stung. Grace gasped - not so much at the injury, but at the fact that it had pierced her mental defenses against pain. Mordite, she realized with horror. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrun’s Imperium Posted February 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Seeing the blood, Star hauled her servant back. "That's enough, Corpse. Are we done here, Enuller, or should I command it to kill you?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xinoehp512 Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 This creature must be destroyed, Grace shot back. Do you realize just how dangerous this is? It could kill you. For real. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ward's Guard Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) The creature growled deeply in its rotting throat, trying to intimidate the Enuller. "That's . . . " Its voice barely formed words on a tongue that had rarely tasted them. "The idea . . ." These gods and goddesses we're rarely reminded of their own mortality. Now that the Corpse had the power to kill them, to remind them that death can claim all, it did not intend to let them forget.

Now leave.” A crowd of Narrators had gathered around the group by now, interested by a sight they so rarely saw in person; confrontation.

The Ward's Guard Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) "Ho there!" A gangly man walked down the hallway, obviously another slave. But even for a slave, he was unkept and unruly. Although most importantly, he clearly hadn't been around this part of the mine, before. Regardless, he smiled broadly at the folk who were gathered, his demeanor as if he were approaching lifelong friends. "You guys started without me!"

Zephrun’s Imperium Posted February 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Suddenly Star felt drunk. She growled, gesturing for Corpse to attack again. "Fine," she said. "I'll be the bad guy." Her supervillain-esque outfit flipped in on itself, turning into sleek plate mail, and she summoned a sword to her. She doubted she'd have to use it, but in the case that she did, she had it. Edited February 10, 2022 by Zephrun's Imperium 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without needing a second cue, the Corpse launched into action, choosing to attempt a body tackle against the newcomer as every bone in its body shot shards of Mordite through its skin. Every spine tore through whatever it came into contact with ease, the floor beneath the creature beginning to decay as countless scratches were etched into the floor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
