She was small, but was fitted with large clunky armor, with savage animalistic qualities to kick in that dragon-look. The Hell Knight was looking at what would essentially be his rival, just like in the stories of medieval, where the knight fights off dragons to save the princess and secure the kingdom from its grasp. Yet ironically, in this situation, he is fighting alongside this character against Heaven and the Machina, although he doubts the two would be teaming up looking at what little he sees of her personality. The dragon breathes out hot dark energy beams up into the sky, which would rain down upon the opposing forces. She may be powerful, but what about their third contestant. After all, the others had sent three to four to deal with this matter. Yet as he pauses to look out for any other of Hell's allies, no one else came to join them. It was then when he realized that he and the dragon were alone. Why they didn't make sure to send another opponent in was beyond him, unless the dragon character was capable of taking them on all by herself. Could she be one of those legendary Vassals he's been hearing about recently? After all, there were reports of another reptilian vassal rising from the depths after~ [i][b]*Rumble rumble*[/b][/i] Before he can finish that thought, he suddenly feels the entire ground shaking beneath him. He wobbles slightly before looking at what the dragon was doing, as she suddenly takes to the skies as something erupted from underneath him. [b][color=9e0b0f]"Shit."[/color][/b] Without any hesitation, Mephilies activates his armor's thrusters and jump high into the sky as a giant thorns of wood and plants bursted underneath him. He made sure to keep his shield underneath his body in the case some rogue thorns flew up at him, which none seemed to do As soon as he lands however, he notices Bonesword revving up his minigun and begins firing upon the armored Hell Knight. Mephilies raises his shield, covering his body yet again as the bullets would be blocked and reflected from his mighty shield. In response, the demon fires a cluster shot from his gunlance towards the bony skeleton, exploding into multiple fragments as they detonate near the machina unit. Whether or not it would hit, it became clear that his opponent was heading into the Ravine below. The Hell Knight nearly proceeded to follow Bonesword in pursuit, but he didn't want to be out-gunned by any other units that might be heading down below. It's possible he could face the three head on and do some major damage, but this wasn't the main objective. Speed is what he needs to concentrate on and these foes would only slow him down... He'll probably see them again anyways. So instead he follows to where the dragon-lady was headed, alongside several of his men, which lead them to a nearby oasis. Nina was there, seemingly relaxed by the waters, while a gigantic hydra emerged ready to eat her. Mephilies' helmet suddenly covers his entire face as he begins running parallel against the monster, all while lobbing several more cluster rounds at the rising monster. His men took position as the ranged mages and gunners began distracting the monster away from the dazed dragon lady. THe Knight then glances at where the dragon is simply standing idly like a sitting fucking duck. [b][color=9e0b0f]"Hey!"[/color][/b] he roars back at Nina as he lobs another round at the creature's head, [b][color=9e0b0f]"If you can you get your head out of your scaly ass and be useful, that would be much appreciated!"[/color][/b] [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/jKoTqco.png[/img] [@Gardevoiran]; [@Silvan Haven]; [@floodtalon] [/center] Castellum's presence on the battlefield was surprising, yet quite welcoming. They now had four major units on their side, including himself, and two major armies at their command. Saef's brigade and Lucifus' Laguna legion were both forces to be reckoned with. Even as Hell's dragon lady summoned meteors down upon he and his army, his speed made sure he dodged nearly every single one of these attacks, before Chen could counter with his own attack. The archangel looked upon the chaotic battlefield briefly as soon as Chen's pillar attack conceded, flying among the perimeter as he considers heading straight to the next area alone. He glances back to see Chen and Amastu flying on a piece of rock as they descended into the ravine. Saef on the other hand was attempting to cut-off Bonesword's descent, while also about to deal with another one of Machina's lackeys. The person in question was one Lucifus hasn't seen before, although he sees that she wields a heavy assortment of power at her disposal. He wasn't going to have the brigade general be left behind this early in battle. So as Titania was concentrating towards the young captain, the archangel was able to sneak behind her and fires his optic stellar beams from his eyes. His target was not the character herself, but rather her energy cannons. One well planted shot should be able to disable them...

The sweetly smell was a little too strong and it burned the inside of her nostrils. Her nose exhales a faint blue mist, neutralizing the unwanted scent as she plants it down on the bed at a considerable distance away. However, Hoho seemed willing to help her retrace her scent, offering a ride into the Oblivion Dungeon to trace it back, although she'd need help from others to get her there. And once there, she's on her own with little to no help available... But that's not where she'll be going to... [b][color=00aeef]"No."[/color][/b] she replies with a light hiss, [b][color=00aeef]"That's not where I want to go. The scent wasn't in the dungeon. I entered it only for I smelled conflict within..."[/color][/b] She pauses only to remember that one certain conflict from within while looking down at the floor. [b][color=00aeef]"Pfft... only to run into Iona-bitch and Helena-whore who both wanted me to join one of their sides. Obviously I refused, but they didn't listen. Don't get me started with Iona's bitch-ass... I'll beat her to death the next time I lay eyes on her."[/color][/b] She pauses again before looking back at Hoho. [b][color=00aeef]"I need to head back to that foundry."[/color][/b] she continues bluntly, [b][color=00aeef]"That's where I last smelled the scent. It was gone when I got there, but maybe the scent still remains... or maybe I can find physical clues. If I can smell it again, I'll at least figure out its origins."[/color][/b]
