The Search For Mana

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Ember's majicka had built up some again by that point so when she saw the lightning fist coming at her she deflected it with a shield of fire. The force was still enough to make her stumble back a couple feet but otherwise she was unscathed. After regaining her footing, she continued to walk in her wide circle around Lazaryos while her tail kept swaying behind her. She kept her eyes on Lazaryos as she walked. Her expression seemed like it was meant to taunt him in more ways than one.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono stared dumbly at the swords as Vosur tossed him towards his feet. Normally he would have just picked them up and attacked his enemies, but in Lazaryos, Chrono could see both the past and present versions of his own father. In the span of the time between Vosur dropping the swords and when Ember was attacked, all of the hatred and frustration he had bottled up over the year, exploded along with his aura of majicka. His limbs were a blur as he picked up his swords and charged forehead first towards the lightning mage.

Lazaryos saw the rushing dragon and raised a thick lightning wall that slowed Chrono down, and then stepped forward, releasing a giant lightning palm, sending him flying back. He quickly ran his hands into the ground to block the oncoming threat of the feline's comrades, raising many large blades, most being blocked, but one punching through the dog's arm. Lazaryos quickly turned his attention to Ember, feeling the shockwave of heat, and caught the motion of her tail first, and shot over a large lightning blade in her direction, but it missed its mark, pupils slowly and barely showing within the dark, blazing eyes. Ember........

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Ember watched everything that was going on as she watched but mainly kept her eyes focused on Lazaryos. She noticed when she got his attention again and watched as he sent the lightning blade at her. The angle that it came at her made know that it wasn't going to hit her so she didn't dodge in anyway. Her eyes narrowed. "He missed... Why in the world would he miss, especially now?" She thought to herself as she kept her eyes on him and continued to walk. "Is it working?"

Dante watched the battle from afar, resting against his cross. "Can't do much but help people that get hurt at this point...Though I think my cross could easily be used as a shield against his lightning. It is wood...Stiiiill, I think trying to knock him out would be the hard part." he thought, continuing to just idly watch the fight. "Ugh...Still...I suppose they can use all the help they can get..." he groaned as he hefted his cross onto his shoulder. He started walking to the fight casually, not really wanting to fight. His walk turned into a full on charge shortly as he ran at Lazaryos. "Dodge the big attacks, block the little ones and then smack the hell out of him."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Lazaryos was angered by missing Ember, and turned in time to see Dante charging at him. He quickly raised a lightning shield, barely blocking the attack, which sent him a couple feet back, and, the rebound of the shield sent Dante back as well. The Feline's comrades took the opportunity and rushed from behind Lazaryos, releasing large flames and ice. The attacks hit Lazaryos and caused an explosion. The feline herself, raised the two weapons she wielded and added her own attack, which added to the explosion. However, to their dismay, Lazaryos was untouched, a giant lightning fist wrapped around his body.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono flew through the air, then recovered before hitting the floor by readjusting his center of gravity to his legs. The moment he hit the ground, he only slid back a few inches before he was able to charge again. However, he only advanced enough to where he was within earshot of everyone. "I'm pretty sure I can get through that barrier, but someone has to keep him from knocking me aside, anyone willing to aggravate him?"

[Vosur Aekira]

Vosur pulled out two more venom-coated cards, glancing back to the Cursed Weapon Bearer feline as he shook off the feeling of the electricity paralysis. "If you want this to work, you're going to have to keep him from making that shield." he reared his hand back and let one card fly first, intentionally missing him by a fair amount as he threw it intentionally to 'boomerang' towards Lazaryos's back while he let loose of the second one to fly towards him in a slight arch from the other side to avoid hitting the others in the process. "I can't keep that up forever, I don't have enough cards to do much good once these venom-coated ones run out."

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Ember watched as Lazaryos became angry about his attack missing her then got distracted by Dante. She watched as he just managed to block Dante's charge then watched as the feline's comrades attacked along with the feline as well. She smirked at the explosion and wasn't at all surprised that Lazaryos appeared to be unharmed when he came back into view. She continued her walk while watching all of this. The others were probably irritated because they most likely would believe that she was just being lazy and deciding not to fight, but that wasn't the case at all.

[Srgntcuddles]

Dante was blown back from being blocked by Lazaryos. He held his cross in front of him to block the following explosion caused by the cursed weapon holders. He looked at the resulting dust cloud, upon settling seeing Lazaryos unscathed. "Figures...He's gotta run out of majicka some day right?" Dante grumbled to himself. He took a few deep breathes before running at him again hopefully before he could recover from the previous attack.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Lazaryos, now infuriated, roared as the giant fist disappeared. Without warning, the black lightning shot out of every portion of his body, weaving together as long, tentacle-like needles and spread all over the place, chasing all the people around him, and deflecting Vosur's cards. The feline and her comrades' weapons glowed as they swatted away the lightning tentacles that were trying to stab them. "Are you stupid?! He consumed the Mana. He has unlimited majicka!"

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Once again, Ember shielded herself with fire as lightning tentacles tried to stab her. As she continued to walk, she wondered how this whole thing was going to work out in the end. She wondered if there was any way that Lazaryos might be able to be left alive somehow. Spinning her staff with her fingers, she continued to think as she watched what was going on. She started to think about what she might be able to do to help in this battle instead of just walking around, though she didn't have any interest in helping the Cursed weapon users, especially the feline.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono slammed his forehead into an oncoming tentacle, the amount of electricity dissipated now literally becoming a major headache for him. His aura dissipated, leaving him quite tired at the same time reducing him to normal levels of strength. Interestingly, the aura vanished slightly before he 'attacked' the lightning tentacle with his forehead, unconsiously using the 'last' of his majicka to save himself from Lazaryos' attack.

[Srgntcuddles]

"Yeah yeah...Not like you guys are making any head way." Dante grumbled to himself. When the lightning tentacles shot out he used his cross to block them and bat them away. "I can't do anything else but try attack him head on or not fight and heal anyone who gets hurt...Hmm..." he thought. His eyes eventually looked at Ember, giving him an idea. "Hmm...I could block for her. Help her conserve her majicka, or at the very least annoy her. She's our only long ranged team mate so she would be a good asset..." he continued before making his way towards her.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Lazaryos' lightning continued to barrage the whole group around him. The feline's comrades were already feeling fatigue and were struggling to keep up. Finally, one of them was run through by one, in the chest, and many more followed, skewering his body beyond recognition of a body. Before falling to the ground, the shock from the lightning turned him into dust. Meanwhile, the other two remained vigilant in dodging, and the lightning tentacles were already piercing holes through Dante's cross.
