The present bathed in the eerie red glow of the flesh ceiling was a horrifying sight.
It shape was human or it had been because it's outline was there but what imcomposed said outline couldn't be described as human. Mass of flesh skin latched around it's body wiggling and twisting around like worms. It had hands in it's hand, legs on its legs and heads on it's head. It was an abomination, a fusions of humans parts that now stood as a mass of flesh... it's grostespe firm looking forward with it's dozen eyes and it lips twisting into a crude smile.
It moved first, streching it's right hand foward and swing it forth like a rope and it took on said properties as it's arms streched foward, twisting around like worms with it's unstreched palm.
Moving with a calculated step, Isis with her scarf fluttering behind her stepped forward raising her blade up followed by a dazzling and almost perfect downward slash. Her sword tracing a transparent purple cut sent forth an invisible slash that left a perfectly divisible line through the abomination middle finger to its shoulder.
The sudden wound caused the creatures heads to burst into a simultaneous pained shriek as it's hand burst apart into a explosive gore, the force rapturing through it's body and causing it to stagger back with a missing limb.
Using that chance AI, clenching both her fist closed the distance between her and the puppet sending a punch through one of it's many stomach which bursted upon impact.
With the sudden burst throwing it off ones more, a arrow quite different from the usual explosive one's impaled one of the creature's feets, discharging a wave of electricity through its nervous system and stunning it.
Isis followed with crescent slash that ripped through its remaining hand and sliced it off, then AI leaping of the ground sent a roundhouse kick into one it's head and kicked it off.
As she landed on her feet another arrow shot pass her,pierced the creature eye and exploded.
Using the chance of blindness to circle around the creature and stationing herself behind it, she landed dozens of powerful blows into its back, craving her fist into it's back and spine while pushing it foward to Isis, whom sent a wave of relentless strikes digging through its heads and tearing them off.
The trio moved with perfect coordination not allowing their opponents a breathing space to recharge.
AI role was the tank drawing the enemy to her and slowly chipping away at it's body while dodging unnecessary blow. Isis was the main DPS whom using the times AI draw the enemy away to recharge her strike and landed fatal blows on the enemy. Finally Seth was both the ranger and the support. Stationed at the rear he focused solely on contributing to the attacks AI attacks but from a longer distance.
His arrows were of two varieties the stun arrows which unleashed an electric charge that stun his enemy and temporarily crippled them and the explosive arrows that exploded a few seconds upon impact.
With his support and the swift reactions of Isis and Al but all that amounted to nothing.
Their blows and strikes lethal and crashing was negated by the the abomination abilitiy to regeneration and said ability was terrifying so terrifying that in a matter of second when they had almost falled it, it's body inflated like a balloon and soon began to expanded, twisting and performing as if it was being moulded into a new shape.
The trio knowing this was bad continued attacking it, their objective to kill it before it finished but no matter how many cut, holes and dents they left on the mass of flesh their objective was neither meet as the abomination now a hulking mass of blob with no visible figure stood on two legs, it's tiny legs twisting and creaking with a disturbing sound.
"It's altering it's body...the Cyptics has the ability to contol flesh and body mass."
Finally speaking, she leaped back just in time to avoiding thick arm that crash right infornt of her sending grains of sand and dust up in the air.
"It's functions the same as my abilities!"
Landing a few distance way, she glance down at her skin one's full of wounds but now as fresh as an enfant.
As a Demiurge she lacked the usual flashy of most of her comrade, she couldn't increase the weight of her attacks like Isis very gravity manipulation nor should she alter the speed and force within her attacks like Seth. Her's was a basic enhancement and fast regeneration hence while she knew this wasn't going to work.
Their endless attacks was the creature just stalling for time, the abomination, this one in particular was a husk, not the boss. The real one was somewhere in the school building controlling the abomination to keep them basic.
If the abomination had a core like a cryptic this would have been extremely easy but it didn't meaning this was a waste of time.
The needed a different approach but she wasn't smart enough to think of one...
"If only commander was here." She whispered.
Their commander was one to always downplay himself but she knew he wasn't worthless. They have been on dozen missions together and yes he wasn't the smartest but he always came up with something one's he was able to analysis the facts. Sure he easily folded under intense pressure but he was also one to easily adapt.
"No..not now... focus on the current situation."
Finding her thoughts wandering, she winced as she began looking around, to think of a way to bypass the abomination.
Currently Isis was engaged with it, using her nimble footwork to avoid the numerous tentacles that burst out the blob's stomach and latched at her.
The Swordwoman was stressed but even still she gave of a strict and composed look, weaving through the tentacles like a dancer while slicing apart those that she couldn't avoid.
Then their was Seth whom was almost out of arrow and contemplating whether to use all he has left.
Eventually he found her gaze locked on him then after a while gave her a sharp nod.
She knew what that look entitled. it was finally time to stop holding back.
