And like the psycho Jena and her gang presented themselves as, they left after their mess started to catch up to them. One of those super large non chimera chimeras showed up, perhaps attracted by the commotion they had all caused. [color=0072bc]"I knew she was evil. She summoned this monster to fight for her like a bad guy!"[/color] Blazermate said, pointing at the huge creature. Well, she was ready to fight this thing having a full ubercharge from the previous fight. [color=ec008c]"This city is turning to be more trouble than its worth."[/color] Susie said with a sigh. Staying a bit back to get a read on the opponent, she gave it a look and saw that its massive size made it slow. It swiped with ferocity from time to time but from what she could understand it moved in a simple way and besides a sudden sweep, attacking it from the side or behind seemed to be super safe. And with it having its initial aggro on Roland, Penance, Geralt, and finally Goldlewis once he joined in due to them being melee combatants, she shot at it from afar with her pistol for a bit until she was confident to go in with her business suit to lay on some spinning buzzsaw pain when it was recovering after bounding or doing a swipe with its claws. Blazermate kept her healing beam on whoever was taking the monsters aggro like usual, but seeing as it wasn't all that mobile, she decided to get a bit bold this time around. She decided to spend her first Kritz on Geralt to see what the witcher could do with it. Once that was over, there wasn't much stopping her from doing what Susie was doing and stabbing the monster's side with a few bites from her shield and a few hits from her ubersaw as the monster had a notable delay between its attacks for how ferocious it made itself sound. This let her get ubercharge pretty fast, as long as the other didn't face tank the creature's attacks and she moved out of the way as it started to recover much like Susie leading to a bit of an "in and out" sorta dance with the creature as it thrashed about. Roland quickly noticed this rhythm as well. Being a single target, a few of his 'debuffs' such as the buff from Home didn't have any effect, but he still had his self buffs and the team buff of False Present. Considering its size though, when Roland tried to use the EGO of Road Home on it, it just swatted away the house that landed on it since the small countryside house was just a tad smaller than the creature itself. The change in landscape really didn't add any tactical advantage or disadvantage either to anyone so the attack was basically wasted besides showing what a large creature would do to grasslands if given the opportunity. And while Blazermate's overheal let him take the hits he failed to clash or dodge when they connected, it did nothing to stop his stagger from lowering. The creature itself attacked like a large beast for the most part. It swiped at who was in front of it with his front claws, spinning around to get whoever was on its flanks off of it, or doing a bounding pounce with some massive lag if it missed. A few things a creature wouldn't normally do that it did though was attempting a shoulder check on Susie while she was at its side, causing her business suit to be knocked back, and firing a laser beam when it got the opportunity that Blazermate found her projectile shield couldn't block due to its sheer size. The laser itself surprisingly didn't hurt as bad as it looked, but it was hard to dodge and got Blazermate and Roland in it. Still, with the periodic downtime the creature left open for itself, it didn't take too long for Blazermate to get another Ubercharge, which she saved for either this creature going into a panic, or someone who had an attack that would finish it off. While she had an easier time getting around the battlefield, Susie being in a big robot, was often knocked away with the creature's retaliation attacks to her spinning punches reducing how much she could really do from melee, and when she tried to do some ranged stuff, the creature fired a laser at her to get her off its back. That shield was getting some really good use thanks to that. ----------------------------------------------------------- [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/kxxtOHI.png[/img] Level 11 Sectonia (holding 5 level up) - (25/110) [b]Location:[/b] The Under - The vault [b]Word Count:[/b] Less than 750. [/center] The fight with the caretaker was going pretty well so far. It seemed like it was built to deal with 4, maybe 5 opponents. Not the huge swarm of opponents constantly pounding at it to bring it down. Thanks to all the people focusing on the tentacle arms, they barely had any chance to do anything while the caretaker was being systematically disassembled. It took until it was nearly broken before it did something with some bite to it, summoning a few of the bots they had run into already that didn't fall over at the slightest tickle from Sectonia's lightning. It seemed they were at the final stretch, and getting through this would be much rougher than the first two phases. As the dwarves and a few of the people below hunkered behind a shield to protect themselves and give themselves some breathing room from the oncoming robots, another robot, although different as it was piloted by a... well endowed plant girl. From what Sectonia could gather, she tried helping earlier but caused issues? Well, this time whatever effect she used seemed to be helpful? Although the distortion of reality from some kind of plant mixture was... odd. It did seem to have a profound effect as it made all the enemies weaker and spawned magical flowers that gave tons and tons of mana when touched. Still, keeping a vigil to deal with all the shredders that were still spawning was what Sectonia was mostly doing. With her tesla coil and her own lightning, which she could use more often thanks to the mana regenerating flowers, it wasn't difficult for her to keep them suppressed and also deal with the caretaker itself. Seeing as everyone was having issues hitting the vents more than the eye, Sectonia cast Slow on the caretaker once the vents opened up again, making it spin very slowly and making its vents easier to hit. Still, being a big target that floated in the air wouldn't do super well for her health if and when the bots decided to focus on her, so Sectonia summoned her Chaos Shield, and used the caretaker itself as a bit of cover from its own minions, using her new staff to both cast lightning and smack the robot arm tentacles that she got near.
