Finding Purpose In The Multiverse: Meta Essence Quest Mode

A Short Bout And Royal Meeting

Entry 145:

Linus Ozias POV:

As two of the servants dismount their wyverns, the lancer servant and the assassin servant walk towards us as Tamamo and Medusa ready themselves, along with Mash and myself, preparing for battle.

The Lancer looks upon us and says, "So this is who I must fight: two servants, well, two and a half, and regular humans? Truly, the afterlife is no better than mine."

The Assassin then chides him as she says, "You may keep your reservations to yourself, "my king," but I would like to partake of the female's flesh and blood as well as their insides. I can smell the vital energy."

The Lancer responds, "I can feel your greed oozing from here, but what of their souls? Who shall take them?" The woman then says excitedly, "I have no need for their souls. As I can sense the honor and purity they hold, and I do not need it to maintain my beauty."

The Lancer nods as he says while readying his spear, "Very well then. I shall take their souls. It is quite ironic as even while I can see the beauty in each of them, I may only do so after becoming such a blood-sucking evil."

The Assassin shakes visibly in manic energy as she says, "Yes! Yes! You understand! They cannot be allowed to exist while I roam this Earth, as I should be a little owner of all of the beauty. It should be me!"

[(RA) Would recommend you all retreat, but I do not think they will let you all leave. (OA) Get out of there!]

We look at one another as I take out my crucible. Jalter (Jeanne Alter) scoffs as she says, "What is that a sword handle that can be produced from such a pathetic thing?"

I then ignite the blade as a golden yellow crucible inscribed with my angelic runes as the darker servants back away from its mere presence. "No, this is but the beginning, but I see since you are unwilling to dismount, you are afraid I can sense it."

Jalter growls in frustration as she yells, "Enough! I fear nothing! Not anymore! Kill them all!" The two servants rush at Tamamo and Medusa as I send a mental message to the group:" Mash, watch our flanks and the other servants. Ritsuka keeps the skeletons off us. Tamamo, I will aid you against the Assassin and Medusa. Can you handle the Lancer with Jeanne?"

"You got it, mikon!" Tamamo says as I block the Assassin's servant's blows, with Tamamo providing ranged support.

"I will start blasting Oz!" Ritsuka says as she uses the silver horns to disintegrate the nearby skeletons. As Mash responds, "I will watch the other servants and help the delusional master."

Media says in her serious tone. "If such a thing is required, I shall do so." Jeanne says, "Understood, Lord Ozias." It's a bit fervent, but such vigor is appreciated.

Lancer then rushes Medusa as she uses her knife chains to wrap the chains around the lance and unleash a barrage of kicks and punches. The Lancer dodges and uses the momentum from his lance to launch Medusa away as Jeanne catches the woman and then launches Medusa back into battle using her flag.

Jeanne then backs up Medusa by using her flag and spear to keep Lancer overwhelmed, as Medusa uses her speed to keep the Lancer focused on her.

"You must believe me to be foolish as you aren't paying attention." The Assassin says as she uses her staff to attempt to stab me. I simply sidestep while blasting her with holy power that singes her body with its presence as Tamamo launches various spells and seals while saying, "Away with you vile woman. My Lin has much better taste than you."

The Assassin chuckles as she says, "Oh, I will enjoy bathing in your blood, you damn yokai! As your master dies before you!" I then use reinforcement to augment my body and increase my speed to blink toward her, slash my crucible, and launch her into a building as the rubble crushes her.
