Vox Machina Book 3: Heroes Become Legend

Chapter 10: Fire vs Ice

Vax flutters his eye for a moment, looking back at the devil, making his was towards him.

He raises his fist, ready to slams his fist, but a demonic growls sounds and Kyria leaps at the devil, taking it by surprise as she bites down on the devil shoulder.

Yenk lets out a snarl, trying to yank her away, Vax props himself up, watching as the cambion continues to bite down onto the devil.

"Kyria!" Vax calls out, she pulled away and quickly dodges the grasping hand as Yenk pulled himself back to focus and slams his fist at the rogue.

"Vax!" Kyria cries out as Vax braces himself, but the impact never came. Vax flutters his eyes and looks back, "Oh, gods." he mutters, seeing Grog holding back the fist.

"Scanlan, now!" he strains, but Yenk quickly pulls his hand away as he looks at changing bard on the mage's hand. "Great, now I'm crazy too!" he calls out.

Kyria snaps her eyes back at the devil, and bites into the back of the devil's neck. Yenk lets out a roar, allowing Scanlan sending the hand right into devil's face.

"Grog?" Scanlan spoke, Grog wraps his arms around the two and leaps back to the gateway, evading the incoming fist. He lets out another roar, but shreiks as Kyria slashes her claws into the devil's back.

"Kiki, anything?" Pike calling over he shoulder, "It won't budge!" Keyleth calls out. Pike flicks her eyes to Kyria as she continues to dodge the grabbing hands of the devils.

Grog sprints towards the gateway, Yenk grabs hold of Kyria and threw her off to the side, "Kyria!" Pike calls out and drops her shield and ran towards the devil.

Yenk charges the flame in his hand and walks towards the retreating half-giant, Kyria props herself up, looking at her friends as Kyria threw up a shield, blocking the incoming fire.

"Fire! Maybe I can adsorb it!" she calls out as her shield broke away, Kyria gasp watching at the blasting flames that knocked the others back. "Pike? Pike! Get out of there!!" Grog shouts as the flames were drawn into the gem of the Plate.

Kyria groans forcing herself to stand, staggering to a kneel. "The plate. I think it's working." she groans, keeping her stance as Yenk pours everything into his fire.

"Oh, shit!" Pike screams as the flames burst from the armor, throwing both back. Yenk went flying, only to drag his fingers into the ground as Pike was caught in Grog's arms.

"Pike!" Kyria calls out, as Grog looks down at their cleric "Oh, shit. Your head." he retorts, Pike just blinks as she looks up at him. "What about it?" she asks, feeling her head, only to feel her hair was gone, then flicks her head, seeing there were cinders of her hair remained.

"Oh, what the fuck?" she retorts, Kyria snaps her eyes back at the devil that picked himself up, Kyria staggers back to her feet, keeping her balance.

Snarling, Kyria snaps her eyes at the devil that pulls himself back onto the floating rock she staggers for a moment and went charging at the devil, passing them.

"Kyria!" Grog calls out, the cambion swung her claws at the devil, breaking through the skin, the devil snarls and swung at her, only to miss.

Yenk slams his fists onto the ground, Kyria kept light, stumbling for a moment, but she swung her claws, slicing through the devil flesh.

The devil snarls for a moment and slams his fist, Kyria jumps back, staggering for a moment, falling to a knee. "So weak. So pathetic. It's hard to believe you ever were born in the Hells." Yenk returns as Kyria staggers to her feet.
