Φ I embedded my tail into the top of the stone building my feet rest upon and look around the battlefield taking place in the city, and I yell, "LISTEN TO ME NIGHTMARES OF BLESTEMATE!"
Φ Throughout the city, the loud voice of Dumnorix projects to every ear around him, and he yells again. "ONE OF THEIR THREE GENERALS HAVE FALLEN AT MY HANDS. EVEN IN THIS STATE, EVEN IN THEIR MONSTEROUS RAMPAGE, THEY ARE STILL VULNERABLE TO OUR STRENGTH. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS SIMPLE, BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE LOVE IN OUR HEARTS TOWARDS OTHERS, FAR MORE THAN ANY HATE WE HAVE. I KNOW THIS SITUATION IS SCARY, TERRIFIYING, BUT DO NOT ALLOW IT TO CLOUD THE LOVE IN YOUR HEART, DO NOT ALLOW IT TO MAKE YOU BITTER LIKE THE FOOLS WHO WISH TO DESTORY YOU, BECAUSE SOMEONE IS WAITING OUT THEIR IN THIS CITY FOR YOU TO RESCUE THEM, TO HELP THEM, TO SHOW THEM THE LOVE THEY DESERVE, AND EVEN IN THIS SITUATION DO NOT RELENT."
Sticking his finger into the sky, a light shines down and all the people who hear his voice raise their heads to see it. With the smile becoming only brighter, he says, "BECAUSE YOU' RE HEARTS LEAD YOU TO WALK THE PATH OF THE GREATEST IN ALL CREATION, WHO SHALL OVERTURN FATE AND THE FUTURE ITSELF. AND DUMNORIX ROGHA DÉ SHALL BLAZE IT FORWARD WITH YOU ALL, SO FIGHT!"
Throughout the city, the soldiers who hear Dumnorix's voice wield their weapons and move forward, fighting against the members of Blamator, as the citizens rush around looking for others who can't help themselves to aid them.
Φ Breathing in and out rapidly, I hold my hand against my chest, trying to regain some strength.
It seems that taking all of those hits has some negative effects on me. Around the end, some of my muscles took massive amounts of damage. The numbness and adrenaline I injected into my body from my tail just allowed me to keep fighting through all of the exhaustion. Though it seems like I don't have time to rest.
From my surroundings, a series of Blamator Nightmares jump towards me and start throwing attacks. So I jump off and start running as my wounds only grow larger. I knew there was a chance that screaming like that would invite more enemies, but it was a worthy risk to take.
Feeling my right leg collapse, I quickly send spirit energy throughout my entire body, yet the blow from one of the Nightmares' land against my side is so intense I am sent flying into the ruins of a building, where all the remaining strength I had in my body vanishes with the wind.
Lying in the rubble, I try to look forward, but my vision blurs as my head falls down. Crap, even after all of that, I am struggling to push myself forward. How pathetic. Still, I can't allow them to run around with my head demoralising everyone, got to fight a bit more.
I stab my body three times and inject all two of the different types of toxins into my body. The 2nd type enhances my body's function, and the 3rd numbs my ability to feel pain even more. Then, using my tail as an extra leg, I force my body up and say, "It won't be that easy."
They all charge at me, drunk on their own power, and I say, "Red branch battle arts; Tuli-."
But in front of me, all their bodies crash into a giant iron mask, and then moments later, they get sent flying. Laughing for a moment, I stab my sword right into the ground and say, "You're that enchanted by my presence."
"Nothing of the sort, just doing my part as a citizen of this country," Žudrė says, walking up to me from my side.
"It's good to hear that. But I am surprised they let you out."
Grabbing me and flinging my arm over her shoulder, she says, "Desperate times call for desperate measures, and it seems I was remorseful enough during my interrogation that I was on the top of that list."
"You're welcome."
"I have already paid you back, idiot. Now, brothers, go on a rampage!"
In front of her, the six Gynėjas brothers say, "RIGHT!" And rush forward to meet their enemies.
Φ Staring down at everything from the rooftops, Gurmand says, "It seems they have started to rampage. So why don't we join them 2nd seats?"
Jūlija, Marinescu and their respective armies, along with the freed prisoners, all stand behind him, as the Zenitas parties who were searching for the Nightmare causing the weight increase fly close behind them.
Šviesis from above says, "Everyone, let's turn the tide of this war back towards our side!"
"YEAH!" They shout.
-Break-
Location: Church of the Cursed Land/Nolādēta Zeme
Φ Rushing around the rampaging Church, Iancu fights and tries to restrain the civilians who have been transformed from ripping the innocent and each other to shreds, and members of Blamator try to flood past Abbán and the rest of the soldiers protecting the outside.
Φ Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!
Standing on top of a man, with my legacy activated on both my hands, I increase the gravity on him. As the weight falls down on him, a voice shouts, "PLEASE DON'T KILL HIM!"
And for a brief moment, I turn my head to see a woman with a ring on her finger trying to enter my gravity field. Reflectively, I ease it up, and in that moment, the man hits me in the chest, sending me into one of the pillars.
I can barely restrain them; how am I supposed to stop this rampage without killing them?
Looking at the husband from the pillar, I see him holding his body around the woman, and slashing everything that even comes close to her body. I continue to stare around the room and see strange, single-minded behaviour from others.
"It's like they all have a goal in mind and can only act towards it in the most aggressive ways. No complex thought moves through their brains, and that's just as dangerous."
Seeing two of the rampaging Nightmares make eye contact, I dash forward as the two of them slam their fists into each other's heads and increase the gravity around them to keep them down on the floor and shout, "YOU'RE NOT HURTING ANYONE ELSE!"
Yet from behind my body, I feel another strike shake my bones as I am sent upwards into the sky, and as I move high, I see all of the different levels of the church being attacked by Nightmares, unable to defend or even understand what is going on.
I need to fight, I need to move against this or else people will die in ways no one should be forced to. Please, my legacy, if you can hear me, lend me strength against my opponents.
I try to regain feeling in my body, but from below, a Nightmare we an arm that looks like a cannon, directs it towards me and then fires a ball of heat that explodes on impact, flinging me downwards.
As my body falls, I remove the gravity around me, bringing my motion to a halt, and then allow my body to fall to the ground. I struggle to get feeling in my body, so I twitch my muscles to gather up strength before I return to more powerful movements.
Yet as a warm liquid crosses my fingers, my head jolts up where I see a rampaging Nightmare biting into the corpse of another Nightmare, letting its blood flow out over to me as it enjoys its demonic feast.
The thingin front of me is barely recognisable as a human, it looks far more like a wonderbeast, especially with the way it heartlessly feeds on the corpse of one of its own, spilling its blood and guts all around it. Yet this is a person, this is a Nightmare, this is someone who spent their entire life feeling like a creature just to be no different than one in this moment.
Jumping up, I lunge towards the Nightmare and slam my fist into its face, increasing the force of the impact as I shout, "STOP!"
It drools and slobbers as it moves on all four of its appendages as it tries to move closer to me, yet the way it moves is similar to a baby trying to regain its balance after first standing up to walk.
Running over to its body, I jump on its shoulder large enough to be equivalent to my entire body and sink my fangs into its body, absorbing its blood. It struggles and fights back, running around the area, slamming my body in and out of everything it can find to try and get me to release my grip.
But I lock my fangs deep into its veins and activate my legacy on them, increasing the force behind the suction of its blood from its veins into my body. I keep going till it falls to the ground, and quickly make a cut in my arm, which releases blood.
Unlike the Blestadrac, I can't store infinite amounts of blood within my muscle fibres, due to being half human; if I take in too much at once, I must expel some. If I were stronger, I would be able to store more, I would be able to control all of what is here for the sake of keeping these idiots down, but I can't.
Raising my head up and seeing the chaos only claim more bodies, my heart starts to slow, and my muscles relax. Even after all I have done, I have barely taken out 10, yet there is so much more chaos everywhere, so much more suffering I need to overcome to stop this. Yet I don't have the power to beat them down, I don't have the charisma to untie people, and I don't even have the intelligence to find a way out of this situation. I don't have anything that can be used to win. Right now, I am utterly useless. So maybe I should give up.
In front of me, I see the Nightmare with the cannon on its arm point it at me, and as a ball of fire charges up to move towards me, I cannot even bring myself to move. Maybe it would be better if I just stopped trying and accepted my weakness. Yeah, at least I would get to see you again mommy.
Φ From the side of the Nightmare, a blow smashes into it, launching it's over loaded body right past Iancu, stopping the blow. And then in front of Iancu, one tail lands and a voice says, "Looks like you needed to be rescued princesses bloodsucker."
As she lands in front of Iancu, his eyes gleam up where he sees, and says, "Suzuka."
With swollen eyes as if she has just been crying and a smile full of hope, she says, "The one and only you, dumb vampire. Now, why are you sitting there all alone like you're waiting for the god of death to come and take your soul?"
Lowering his head, he says, "Because I can't do anything. I can't save anyone, I can't even protect myself. It's because I am useless, it's because, it's because."
Tears start to well up in Iancu's eyes, and he says, "It's because I can't be like Orb, I can't lead everyone out of this situation. I can't unite them with love or a common cause. I can't enforce my will on this situation with my power, I can't do anything, Suzuka, that's why I am smashing my useless face into the ground."
From behind them both, another Nightmare lunges at them, and Suzuka says, "Is that all?"
He raises his head, and she turns around, then slams her fist into the body of the Nightmare, charging them, and says, "Gozen battle arts; Spiritual tether!" And sends it flying backwards.
"Wha-how did you do that?"
Turning to face Iancu, she grabs him by the collar and says, "YOU'RE A BIG MORON!"
