*Keeps the spell going from a distance*

@Dynamics

-Canon- *shoots toward you and Spectre* Quick! You have to break through his chains. They're too strong for me to break. This is Absorption Magic, and if he continues like this, he could suck away Spirit's life force, too!

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

*the bullets hit the ground and the explosions are large enough to throw both you and Spectre back, the barrier strengthening and weaving upon itself, it too amplified by Spirit's power*

@Mammalia

-Canon- *Flies over the clearing and a lightning bolt strikes inside from above, hitting the chains holding the other wizards and breaking them; the breaking sets them free and sends heavy feedback through you*

*Stumbles back, wiping some blood from my lips and grimacing* Fine. I was going to gloat a little more, but I'll stop waiting. *chains tighten around your arms and legs, keeping you down and cutting into you*

@Mammalia

*opens my mouth* Water Dragon: Roa--

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

To summon a demon, of course! With your magic, I can easily bring him to life, and all he needs under this particular procedure is a strong sacrifice... You.

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

*When you reach the clearing, the magic barrier keeps you from entering or casting any magic inside of it*

@Mammalia

*throws a punch at your face*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

They were tools. I needed their magic to get you here. You see, those attacks weren't my magic. It was their Origins, all channelled into these lovely lacrimae. But what I need is a much stronger wizard to control.

@Mammalia

Control? For what?

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

*Jumps out of the way and follows*

@Dynamics

*we near the clearing*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

*chains shoot from my arms and whip each chain out of the way and an explosive bullet hits the ground under you as I run into the clearing*

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

*strokes my hair back* Good. You're here. *chains whip from my hands and wrap around your body, electrocuting you*

@Mammalia

*falls to my knees and notices the wizards chained up at the edge of the clearing in front of several lacrimae* Hey! Some of those are my friends! What did you do to them?

Myriad Reality

nooooooooooooo the speedrun release was moved to early next week
this is a travesty

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Dynamics>

*manages to point my fingers down just as you lock me in place* Circle Dispersion Bullet. *the bullet hits the ground and disperses the circle, and I run deeper into the forest, out of sight, continuing to shoot bullets into each other*

@Mammalia

-Spectre- *Reaches the forest* Spirit's in here. We can follow either him or this guy. I can only assume we'll reach both of them either way.
-*Is frantically running from the explosions until I reach a clearing, and a magic barrier wall rises around me* Huh?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

The sides are balanced before any competition starts. It may seem that way, but not when our opponent grows with us.

@Heroic

-Spectre- Who exactly is our opponent?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Disdain>

*Follows you into the forest with a grin, pointing two fingers of my left hand and swiping in several different directions before shooting two bullets together from my right and left hand*

@Mammalia

*a bullet hits the ground near me and an explosion erupts; I manage to keep my footing and run from the explosion, but another couple of explosions send me in another direction*
