232 - Matters of Perspective [Sturmblitz]
It had been a hard-fought battle for Zhumei Karmesin, a constant uphill battle, but she had, after all, set herself up for just such a battle when she not only permitted Zelsys Newman to recover, but supplied her aid in the reforging of Carnifex F...

Zelsys had a response; one born from every facet of her seclusion training put into practice all at once. Donning the Mantle to respond to one of Red's stratagems was, at this point, no longer new. A vast and terrible deluge of Metallum followed, ...

Casus just about stepped forward to valiantly slay the evildoer, and Krahe was of the same mind in terms of final result, but she also knew not to reject intel freely offered, least of all by one who thought truth would buy him a ticket to safety....

At that moment, just before she released her technique, Karmesin felt the overpowering sensation that she would be torn limb from limb at any moment, much like one would feel when facing down a predatory beast ready to pounce.
Thus, for the ...

While the Five True Fang Ripper ran a feverish, screaming track around Red's seclusion orb, Zelsys loaded the first of Ingvald's spitzer-nosed hi-pen shells into Thundercannon, building up a great and terrible Fulguric charge both within and witho...

The place was being evacuated. Krahe hoped it to be mere coincidence, but then, her mind went back to the odds. Back to the smokery. The diminutive, red-cloaked figure which seemed to have unsettled every was probably a Red Hood, or at least the o...

Krahe summoned another cigarette. This had to be her sixth or seventh just today, and yet somehow, the smell of smoke didn't linger about her. Arrha smoke was pleasant, as far as smoke could be, but it still soaked into smokers' clothes, hair, ver...

"Not a time for smalltalk," Krahe shushed him, getting a ring of keys off of the dead man's belt. One of them fit into the elevator's panel, but there was already a key in there, to he disappointment. "Lazy fuckers couldn't even bother with basic ...

It took several of these terribly demanding swings to exterminate the veritable construct-army, but now Zelsys had the constructs' slightly-delayed detonations to worry about. As thousands of northlight arrows came raining down, she didn't stop sw...

Just as she had gradually and carefully purified an ignition core in her battle against Von Wickten's Entomodragon form, Zelsys did the same here. Trying to exert power through her own body was meaningless, she felt it just from how this antediluv...

Before emerging from seclusion, Zel took a few moments to double-check that the new Fog Storage bangle from Ingvald was safely attached to her belt, and that his new shells were securely on her belt. She hadn't dared actually fire them down here, ...

At this time, Zelsys made the decision to clean up her techniques list somewhat, collapsing Beast-butchering Arts and Formless Butchery into the single category of "Butchering Arts", for simplicity's sake. Geheimnis would remain as a category for ...
