Livia’s gaze turned towards Lucrecia, blue eyes seeming to glow lightly with arcane power, a small frown forming on her features.

“And she’ll get healing, Lucrecia.” A curt, no nonsense reply. “Move to assist Eliz, Lyssa, and Katherine. That is an order. I already said I’ll look after things here.” The harsh tone took a slightly softer inflection as she’d sigh. “I know a trick or two about healing. Now move before more people get hurt.”

“...I shall leave this to you then, Lady Fiore.” Cassandre nodded, though she didn’t seem to certain but as things stood, if the others needed her help then lady Fiore was right. It would be better served stopping another demon from getting loose. “For as brief as we work together, I look forward to cooperating. Shall we?” Supposing there was nothing else for Polina or Lucrecia to do here, Cassandre would take point after using some divine spells to patch up Polina’s wounds.

Eliz’ time crush could make targeted attacks, snuffing out the fire before it spread but unless she wanted to weaken the underground vault, she couldn’t stop all of it. Xivi too, could only help so much. Her acidic, corrosive breath and water had already ate some holes into the floor and the pillars holding up the ceiling. They were on a timer here, and they needed to act faster than not if they wanted to stop this entire place from becoming rubble.

“Fate?! Bwahahaa rich coming from a demon you pathetic mortal loving whelp!” The possessed woman responded with a demonic, howling laughter at hearing Eliz’ declaration. “Or did you forget, whelp!?” The demonic fire was already spreading outwards, the inferno quickly spreading across the floor and the relic room. “Demons don’t have fate to destroy!”

Moving closer to the demon was…a bad idea. The crimson fire it loosed earlier had radiated outwards in front of it. The dolls that had gotten closer were engulfed in fire, their structure seeming to rot and decay from the inside, weakening them.


The possessed woman herself inhaled again as more chains tried to hold her down, but in turn they too started to decay, rust, and become weaker the moment they touched her, not holding her down for too long. The water didn’t help much, turning into steam before it even touched her such was the intensity of the fire. If Katherine wanted to restrain her more than having her be merely hindered, she’d likely have to focus entirely on the demon while also getting assistance from her dolls or get creative with the timing.

“Now rot in hell you whelps! I’ll burn this entire pathetic word to ash!” As the fire continued to spread, the demon raised a hand to the ceiling. A vortex of fire formed in her hand, swirling in the air above her. 

Whatever she was doing, it was going to be big.

“Tch, she’s gonna use that….” Xivi replied to Katherine. “I wouldn’t count on outlasting her. Last time we tussled, it was a week-long affair, and back then the humans were effectively immortal…” The small demon huffed. “LISTEN UP YOU WHELPS! She’s gonna do something big, but if you wanna beat her you’re gonna have to get rough with her!”

“Tch, good! I was about tired of just sitting here being super cute!” Lyssa retorted. 

….and this would be the scene Polina, Lucrecia, and Cassandre find themselves stumbling in on.
