Things were getting a little chaotic already as people started ganging up on the thing shortly after it knocked one of their teammates away. Mao might’ve gone to her aid if the air around the woman didn’t turn a little questionable.
’Probably best to avoid for now…’ If it persisted however there might be issues as she dashed to the side, more interested in keeping her distance from everyone if only to avoid providing a close target. Besides it was a little crowded right now around the beast what with not only two mages, but two pets in sorts biting at the thing’s hide as well. Mao might’ve pitied it had it not already been trying to kill them and preventing the group from freedom.
As it knocked Aiyana aside the fury of the other three seemed to continue, the wolf’s anger heightening, but the crystalline beast had enough of everyone’s actions as it knocked the beast aside and managed to dislodge from the giant raptor when it went to clench its jaws harder around the thing. Unfortunately it couldn’t quite toss the slayer aside, dragging him along for the ride as a great jerk of its body freed it from the final restraints. The beast’s actions appeared questionable as it ran straight for a wall, Mao questioning if it could disappear into the cavern walls due to its similar composition only for the thing to start running up the vertical structure.
She immediately lodged an arrow.
Whatever that beast currently plotted needed to be stopped as she shot the vibrantly red arrow, the thing growing in size when it neared the liger and its current path until the bulbous conglomeration of crystals couldn’t seem to hold it in another second. At the woman’s mental commands it exploded, decorating the wall and ceiling with sharp shards, some firing into the beast’s back. She’d done her best to aim the thing away from Minh, hoping that the man could otherwise save himself from any stray shots, but the short mage accomplished her goals. The thing fell down on its side rather than complete the journey, anger vibrating its body until it hummed with power. Clouds above started to form, spelling a new untold danger. All she could do was notch another arrow and further the tint of blue, for the beast making it look as if she’d strengthened the darkness of it whilst to her compatriots a more sky blue tint lay beneath it.
HP: 100%
MP: 85%
- Spoiler:
Name: Ruby: Red Rage
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Duration: 2/Instant
Cooldown: 5
Description: A spell that can be held for a later use, Mao must either create a ping-pong ball sized orb or an arrow – or two of each if she chooses to split up the spell’s power. Upon activation, the orb/arrow rapidly grows into a cluster of sharp crystals 4ft in diameter (2ft if the power is split) before exploding in a 120 degree angle with sharp shards spraying up to 30m (15m in lesser form). The shards remain for a post after explosion before fading. Being in close proximity to the blast may result in temporary blinding from the sudden explosion of red Kool-Aid coloring filling one’s vision.
Strengths:
- Deals C-rank damage, can be split to deal D-rank per orb/arrow
- Can deal AoE damage if initial blast is escaped
- Temporarily blinds within a 10m radius of the blast
Weaknesses:
- Allies can get caught up in the blast
- Can be negated by fire/lightning magic of equal rank
- Works like a directional mine, making it avoidable if one gets out of the angle
- Easily deflected/dodged near the end of its ranged blast
Name: Sapphire: Gentle Breeze
Rank: D
Type: Utility
Duration: 3
Cooldown: 5
Description: Creating a baseball-sized orb or an arrow, once the projectile hits something it explodes in an expanding cloud of glittering blue dust/mist that reaches up to 15m. Something of a calming agent to magical energies and biological ones, the power behind attacks is reduced by ½ if they pass through the field. To foes the mist appears as a dark blue, but to allies it appears as a light, pale sky blue hardly hindering their vision.
Strengths:
- Doesn’t affect allies due to her affinity towards the person
- Weakens foes’ attacks/spells
- Mildly reduces enemy visibility, the glittering/glowing might distract a little
Weaknesses:
- Deals no damage
- Can be blown away
- Doesn’t affect heat-based magic: they just plow right through
- Doesn’t affect celestial/holy magic
