The Last Poster Wins! [V9]

*put KFC commercial here*

[Sir Sivelos]

*APOPH uses level 9999 SPOTLIGHT, which cancels illusions, and DARK META KNIGHT uses the DIMENSION MIRROR (which was in his inventory), to project a field of anti-illusionary energy… The combined effort of DMK and APOPH should be more than enough to stop all illusions.*

[Ganyu]

Ooooh, I love that light defense. *rapidly casts another Shadow Blitzkrieg*

*casts Flaring Meteor Falls; a burning variant of Meteor Storms that sets fire to anything that contains a soul*

*APOPH uses level 9999 SPOTLIGHT, which cancels illusions, and DARK META KNIGHT uses the DIMENSION MIRROR (which was in his inventory), to project a field of anti-illusionary energy… The combined effort of DMK and APOPH should be more than enough to stop all illusions.*

THe illusions waver...But, impossibly, remain intact! However, the wavering of the illusion gives you a good bead on THE HELMSMAN's location! Good enough!*

Ooooh, I love that light defense. *rapidly casts another Shadow Blitzkrieg*

*casts Flaring Meteor Falls; a burning variant of Meteor Storms that sets fire to anything that contains a soul*

*...Look. If you keep spamming the same attack that failed over and over again, She's going to keep blocking it much the same way over and over again. She blocks it with another light shot, this time being strong enough to careen straight into you for surprisingly large damage.*

*The Flaring meteors set everyone alight. Including you.*

*JUSTICE uses LV. 9999 BLIZZARD! A cold wave rocks the battlefield, putting out the fires and damaging THE HELMSMAN! He glares at you.*

*REBECCA uses LV. 9999 BLAZE OF GLORY...And whiffs!*

*THE HELMSMAN gets behind JUSTICE and backstabs him! He falls unconscious!*

Rebecca: Augh! Maybe one more time on illusion breaking? All together now!

*Candyman attacks Helmsman using Fire Storm.

[Sir Sivelos]

*APOPH uses a level 9999 SPOTLIGHT once more!*

*DMK uses the DIMENSION MIRROR to cancel illusions once more!*

*SIVELOS is unconscious!*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*Candyman attacks Helmsman using Fire Storm.

*THE HELMSMAN dodges and rushes up to you, beating you to a pulp! You hang on due to excellent defense.*

*APOPH uses a level 9999 SPOTLIGHT once more!*

*DMK uses the DIMENSION MIRROR to cancel illusions once more!*

*SIVELOS is unconscious!*

*WE ARE AWARE SIVELOS IS DOWN.*

*In conjunction with both, REBECCA uses LV. 9999 TRUTHSEEKER! REBECCA reaches out to the truth, shattering a HUGE illusion concealing her position! she's right behind MR. ICE!*

The Helmsman: NO!

*The voice is very much modified-you can't figure out what she sounds like, but you can tell that THE HELMSMAN was not pleased by this. She charges up a huge attack...And an arrow hits her and stuns her.*

*You turn to the source. Not far from the corpse of the Black is a man strikingly like him, though there are enough differences to sway you from the possibility he's related by blood...Which raises the question of how he got here. He's holding a sturdy-looking, but unremarkable, compound bow.*

???: Um, we can talk later! Just beat her senseless now! Jeez that sounded wrong.

*The helmet of the Helmsman has totally broken from the arrow, revealing that calling her a woman wasn't incorrect at all. Short-cut hair and a piercing gaze with blood-red irises and sharp ears aside was already a good sign she was a D(a)emon like the rest of you, but the gray skin was a telltale sign that THE HELMSMAN was brought here to be more than just bait you into stupidity, and was so powerful of an illusionist for a reason.*

*She was a Dark Writ, the 5th Dark Writ. Of course, this is just info so you know why she outdid THE BLACK, of all people. The Dark Writ wears a face mask, which is the source of the voice modluation.*

5th Dark Writ: What the...Where did you come from?! You weren't here at all!

???: Certainty, stand down!

Certainty: HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME!?!!

*Despite the modulation, the female voice behind it came out in a very scary way She's lost it at this point. A thick illusion has noticeably settled into the area.*

[Sir Sivelos]

Apoph: Who are...? Agh, it doesn't matter! You heard the man, beat her down!

*APOPH uses level 9999 AURA OF INSANITY! A strange miasma covers the field, bringing out the greatest fears of its targets... The entire miasma is focused on CERTAINTY, regardless of illusion, causing hallucinations and strange whispers of suppressed fear and anger. Because of this, it has triple the potency it would normally. CERTAINTY will shortly lose her mind.*

*MR. ICE uses level 9999 POLAR VORTEX! A powerful hurricane of frigid wind sweeps through the arena, covering every square inch in subzero cold. There's no way it could be dodged!*

[Ganyu]

Why didn't anyone attack her when she used that light shot? Or when she was on fire? For Para's Ascendant's sake, we could have had one less unconscious soul! *shakes head*

*casts Necropolis; a field of graves and tombstones materialize, radiating an eerie green glow that sucks the energy out of anyone within the field*

[Sir Sivelos]

Apoph: You, phantom! You are aware that Certainty is a master of ILLUSIONS!? Even if we DID attack her, how would we know it was the real one?

*APOPH uses level 9999 SPOTLIGHT once more.*

*DMK uses the DIMENSION MIRROR! Pretty boring, but it works!*

*MR. ICE uses level 9999 DEFRACTOR! Ice crystals scatter within the air of the arena, de-fracting light and causing CERTAINTY's illusion to weaken!*
