(OOC: Sorry for the wait, hope you enjoy)
It was a great and insurmountable difficulty to take off the arm of the beast. With his sword as deep as it could go into the rock skin of the giant golem Naraca pulled the hilt of his great sword like a lever to try and pry the entire arm off. The effort itself he knew would not be enough, in fact he woulda have stopped earlier were it not for a single motion he saw that the hulking rock monster began.
It's shoulder rose up with it's hands, and it's palms were flat as they slowly came together. At first Naraca felt his instincts almost force him to get up and get far away. it looked at first like they might turn into fists and ram the ground. His body bending down would no doubt make Naraca have to get up to get Kihia off em.
However the arms started to reel inwards towards each other.
Could it really be...?
Thinking about it for a moment, the golem was being attacked from basically all sides, it'd make sense that it would need to act in a manner to deal with everyone due to the sheer amount of attackers. It did make sense...A clap! A clap with it's strength so thunderous it could send a wave of force that could send everyone flying.
Would it be strong enough to rupture the organs? Maybe, maybe not...He didn't want to find out.
However...Yes, yes the shock wave would be powerful, and with the arm already somewhat close to coming off...Yes, this could work. If this golem was as powerful as it looked then it might just do the job for him.
It's hands were coming close together, now was the time to get clear. He looked up quickly at Kihia who was already preparing to shield himself. He'd be fine.
Naraca quickly ripped his sword out of the golems shoulder and shot up into the air and flew up high. His hair and clothes danced madly in the intense wind that beat his face. He flew enough for the shock wave to dissipate below his feet harmlessly, to which he instantly zipped right back down towards the golem.
His eye's were quickly drawn to a truly relieving and satisfying display. He didn't celebrate, far from it, but as the the massive earth made arm fell to the ground, he found himself give out a very small sigh of relief, and with that, a very large booster in his confidence.
They really could do this, they could win.
From how high he was he saw everyone working together, everyone fighting together against insurmountably foe. He didn't even know some the people here, it was unlikely some of the people here even full knew each other at all for that matter. Yet hear they all were...
This was a team, as team that if working together, could truly win this fight. In retrospect it was rather laughable that so much effort would be required for just a single one of Zuo's spells, but all things considered, the golem was taking a lot of damage, and Naraca knew he couldn't hold up forever.
However neither could they...
Naraca's eye's narrowed when he caught the Zuo turning to reach for his arm. Was he gonna put it back on? Could he do that? No, no, couldn't he just regenerate a new one? Whatever the case, thankfully the lumbering giant was slow, and no matter how this battle went no one could say the golem won based on it's speed.
Naraca could see this battle wouldn't get anywhere with the way they were fighting now, breaking this thing down completely wasn't impossible, but who really knew if they even could break it down? They had to do something else, something more.
Some idea's were brewing...
"Kihia!!" Naraca shouted as he began to fly down towards the ice boy who was on the golems large head.
Naraca took a quick look down, seeing the rock bound giant was moments away from grabbing it's arm. Naraca floated in front of Kihia.
"Listen! Get down to the ground behind this thing! Rally everyone with you. You got me?" He said clearly, hoping that Kihia would pick up on what he was saying. They had experience working together, and Kihia was getting better at knowing Naraca thought, with what he had told the boy, he knew that'd be all he'd need.
With that, Naraca turned around and flew within shouting distance of Cyrus and Ren. By this point the golem picked up its arm. Naraca turned his head to see it grabbed it's own arm by the wrist instead of the shoulder. So, it looked like it wasn't going to be reattaching it. It was going to use it as a weapon.
"Follow Kihia!!!" He barked as loudly as he possibly could to Cyrus and Ren as well as the demon they were riding on. The demon knew English, it'd understand Naraca's words and register that whatever the plan was, it would be to follow the ice boy.
Now for everyone else that was outside...They wouldn't be able to hear him, so couldn't give then any auditory cues, but he could get there attention visually.
"Shining Eye's" He whispered.
His amber colored eye's, with a blink, suddenly shone two bright, powerful lights from his eye's like two spotlights. His's eye's absorbed the light of the sun and mimicked the brightness, his eye's being more then bright enough for everyone to see. The white lights cascaded over Quote and Talen who were far away, Naraca made the lights bright at first to get there attention. He however blinked once and then turned off the spell once they were looking up at him.
With his great sword he'd simply pointed towards the back of the golem, showing that they had to go there. He'd also gesture with his finger for then to go that way.
There was no doubt Zuo saw him doing all this, and heard him doing all this.
So he knew there was only one thing he could do now.
He saw the golem would began to prepare for it's big, crazy swings of it's own giant arm.
"Zuo!!!" He yelled out
He blinked his eye's, the two bright powerful lights turning on again and this time not holding back, with the brightness of looking directly into the sun the light would shin against the entire front of the massive golem. Where it saw from, Naraca knew it wouldn't be able to see a damn thing with lights this bright. He stayed within it's arms length, he knew he'd see any slow, blind attacks coming a mile away.
"Be ready! For you face Lamia Scale!!" He shouted before, as fast as he could possibly go he charged forward towards Zuo.
The fastest speed he could travel with his flight and rank was mach100, and in order to close the distance, he did just that.
As he did, he did two things.
He held his sword out in front of him, and used the inertia of the his forward momentum and the weight of his sword to spin fast, real fast, so fast that one could not track with naked eye's where his sword was, it seemed to be all around him, the same went for his body. He spun so fast he looked exactly like helicopter propellers keeping the chopper off the ground.
The second thing, was his utter these words
"Bio-Organic Hardening"And at the same time, let a little magical energy activate the flame lacrima within his sword. The lacrima heat up his black sword so it was red hot around the entire blade. Making it able to cut through most hard substances like butter, even though it was easy enough before...
Further more, Naraca let the lacrima heat up to the second stage of the lacrima, causing the sword to ignite into flames. Making it a flaming sword that heated up, and powered up the blade even further.
Due to his magic, Naraca was actually immune to the disorientation of spinning so fast and knew which was he was going, and knew right where his target was. Making in a flaming, spinning buzzsaw coming at straight towards the wrist of the arm that was holding the golems other arm. A much thinner target then the shoulder, and going much faster. Wasn't it obvious what would happen if contact was made? It would be like before, far from it.

Spells used:
- Shining Eye's:
Name: Shining Eye's
Rank: D
Type: Supportive
Description: This spell infuses magical energy into the eyes, causing them to catch the light in the area by mirroring the brightness of the environment to shine what could be a very bright light through the user's entire eye balls like two white spotlights.
Strengths: If it were a sunny day out, the user of this spell could shine from his eye's a powerful bright light that can blind the eye's of attackers or distract them from the actions of the user. The brightness itself doesn't have an actual damage count in terms of rank, it just dictates that you use the rule of if the user is projecting the light of the sun, the opponent will likely get blinded from anywhere to a couple seconds to a few minutes.
This spell can be used to light dark places but only if the user's eye's were able to first absorb some light before going into said darkness.
Weaknesses: In addition to the standard 5% cost, the magic will cost an additional 2% per post if the user wishes to maintain a spotlight effect on the spell for longer then one post. This spell also cannot be used where there is little to no light, it's not so much that it can't be used rather that using it just wouldn't cause any light to shine, wasting magical energy. After the spell is used it will face a cool down of 2 posts before it can be used again.
- Bio-Organic Hardening:
Name: Bio-Organic Hardening
Rank: C
Type: Defensive, Supportive
Description: This spell is the go to spell for any Body Magic user. It's the foundational "Battle Armor" of this type of magic. This magic spell is cast on the body both everywhere and everything inside and outside. With this, the body will harden in response to physical trauma. Visually the spell turns the point on the body where the impact was made into a black steel colored hard material with silver linings where the veins are. The material is in fact the body itself, not being in cased in any armor, but rather the body itself hardening in response. The user can also choose where the hardening takes place prior to physical trauma. 4 D ranked spells, 3 C ranked spells and 2 B ranked spells can be blocked before the spell breaks. For physical attacks the current hardness of the spell is about that of Steel, the hardening will be cut through or broken if attacked by anything physically stronger. If a limb is cut off while the spell is still active, the stump that is left will remained in a constant state of hardness to prevent from bleeding and still can to used in battle if need be. Now with C rank, if a user loses a limb, while the spell is still active, if they obtain the limb and place it on the stump from where it came from, the limb will reattach, but in turn will deactivate the spell and cause the cool down to begin. This spell is also able to grow up ranks and become stronger and with that, can have new effects as it grows.
Strengths: The user can also choose where the hardening takes place prior to physical trauma. 4 D ranked spells, 2 C ranked spells and 2 B ranked spells can be blocked before the spell breaks.

If a limb is cut off while the spell is still active, the stump that is left will remained in a constant state of hardness to prevent from bleeding and still can to used in battle if need be however can be reattached by placing the limb on back on the stump while the spell is still active. In addition to this the spell also has a bonus of heightening the users physical strength to perform B-ranked damage which is naturally stacked with the users regular physical strength.
Weaknesses: A great weakness of this spell is it's upkeep, to maintain it normally it costs 5% magic to maintain every two posts. After this spell deactivates, it has a softening period of 5 posts which nullifies the "Toughness" perk of all Body Magic users and now also weakens the "Physically Built and Trained" perk to only D rank.
MP% 105% - 25% = 80%
Attack results: Great sword = B-ranked + First and Second level fire lacirma = A ranked + Natural Strength, B ranked = A.5 + Bio-Organic Hardneing, B-ranked (Sig spell) = S ranked attack.
