The Last Poster Wins! [V9]

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Drawbacks with dark arcana healing is to be expected but this... This is a bonus duck!

*madly chants a Soul-Bond Shade onto Sivelos and Phyto-Hydra. An aura of black magic shields Sivelos, transferring half of the damage he takes to the Phyto-Hydra.*

*It's no bonus duck. Bonus ducks would probably be poewrful enough to kill a whole wave. In any case, of course it isn't a 1:1 ratio, otherwise that would be useless compared to normal healing!*

*You do that. The PHOTO-HYDRA will now do some tanking for SIVELOS.*

Quack. *SIVELOS casts a boatload of evasion buffs before madly swiping with the ULTRA SWORD, racking up massive amounts of damage! The ULTRA SWORDS' appearance keep changing with every swipe, but their power is no less dangerous. It keeps changing between Galaxia, a Training Sword, a Fan, and… a Fish? Regardless, WONKA isn't having a good time.*

((Also, I forgot to mention… In Undead Form, most castites lose their invulnerabilities in exchange for being unkillable. Galligath was basically taking a boat load of damage, and would have died LONG ago if not for being unkillable in Undead form. However, now that he's in normal form again, he once again possess a weakness to Water damage. Also, this weakness is VERY strict. He can ONLY be damaged by water magic and can ONLY be finished off by ice damage.))

*WONKA is absolutely infuriated! He's down to half health-which is time for the final reason he qualifies as THAT ONE BOSS.*

PSYCHOPATH Wonka: THAT'S IT!!! *He proceeds to shove several SPIRAL SUCKERS down his throat, and a multicolored light envelops him, dispelling the paralysis! An explosion occurs!*

*When you are able to see him again, you realize he's undergone a radical trasnformation into PSYCHOTRICKSTER WONKA!!!*

PSYCHOTRICKSTER Wonka: THIS is sooooooo much better, I don't know why I didn't do this before, hehehe! Time to solve ALL THE PROBLEMS!!

*In this state, aside from the obvious stat boosts, he is now invulnerable to status effects. Here we go!*

*I am aware of what Galligath is as a boss. However, Water and Ice magic are literally interchangeable as far as I'm concerned, as they're both the solid and liquid states of the same compound, so there IS that to consider. Also, death and stasis mode are effectively interchangable and will carry the same penalties unless GALLIGATH intentionally went into stasis mode.*

*Phyto-Hydra is boosted by a PHYTOBURST, gaining an increase in attacking speed; the five heads unleash their AEON WAVE OF NATURE; a great wave of energy sweeps through PSYCHOPATH WONKA and anything else in its path, sprouting large trees and vines that deal Grass damage to any who touch them. The attack leaves the PHYTO-HYDRA as slow as a snail.*

*casts Reaper's Acuity on Sivelos; all ranged attacks are 100% accurately homing!*

*PSYCHOTRICKSTER WONKA is STILL having a bad day! Those annoying plants keep getting in the way and hurting him, pinning him down! However, the AVATAR OF TRICKSTERDOM touches the PLANTS, causing them to turn into TRICKSTER-FRIENDLY variants that will harm YOU if you touch them!*

The Destroyer attacks Psychopath Wonka with Fire storm once more.

*by the way I change my nick name to invincible... seems to fit a brick wall.

*You can't change Class names, and nor is it a nickname! And Invincible is a class that requires you to have FAR more classes. It's the epitome of the STONE WALL archetype, being as slow as a snail and barely capable of dealing damage at all, but effectively being unable to die as a tradeoff. INVINCIBLES also have high resistances to, well, everything.*

*PSYCHOTRICKSTER WONKA uses his UMBRELLA and slaps it back at you! You take the damage instead! It's not much to you, but now PSYCHOTRICKSTER WONKA is ready for that move! Perhaps something else, IE Blaze of Glory, Flamethrower, Ice Shard, the other abilities associated with Firebending/Waterbending/Superstrength? Of course, this isn't to imply that PSYCHOTRICKSTER WONKA still isn't focused away from you. He's quickly closing the gap at this stage! Prepare for pain!*

Just keep kiting him, Brandon!

*SIVELOS begins attacking from afar using ranged attacks to avoid being swatted.*

((By the way, as a small warning: Having high defenses does NOT mean you're invincible. Just saying. .3.))

*You do that, but PSYCHOTRICKSTER WONKA starts firing bolts of MULTICOLORED PAIN at you instead! Hoo boy! the Reaper's Aim buff ECRIVAIN gave you makes aming irrelevant, though, allowing you to completely focus on just dodging.*

*casts Light Shade on Brandon; weight is reduced by two thirds, and movement speed increased by 20%!*

*casts Hex Rune: Suicidal Vertigo; mind magic at the darkest level, attempting to overwhelm PSYCHOPATH WONKA with suicidal thoughts such as the futility of lacking his Oompa-Loompas, or cooperating with Hard Light constructs and thinking how Image is probably setting him up for failure.*

*BRANDON is now faster! Not faster than PSYCHOTRICKSTER WONKA, but he'll have some more time to kite him into an area of your choosing before he's brutally mauled by the overwhelming power of PSYCHOTRICKSTER WONKA!*

*PSYCHOTRICKSTER WONKA is too TRICKSTER to even feel remotely down at this stage! He counters with almost overhwhelmingly positive thoughts into your mind, mostly about CANDY, RAINBOWS, SMILES, ect., with the occasional BLOODY MURDER.*

*Speaking of OOMPA-LOOMPAs, GALLIGATH is still kiting the OOMPA-LOOMPAs, A.O.TRICKSTERDOM, and the CANDYMEN. MR. ICE and the END KING are damaging them while GALLIGATH keeps the aggro on him. His invulnerability to most damage is coming in handy. Despite their attacks, however, MR. ICE and the END KING have only taken down two of the enemy forces.*

*SIVELOS keeps blasting WONKA from afar.*

*The TRICKSTERS are starting to catch on, and are now using double-typed WATER/CANDY damage to deal with GALLIGATH. However, you are seriously taking pressure off of those unfortuante few battling PSYCHOTRICKSTER WONKA.*

*PSYCHOTRICKSTER WONKA is now on 1/3RD HP!!*

*casts Death-glow; Sivelos' next attack will emanate the glowing aura of a lovely crit!; cackles*

*disappears to regenerate mana*

*CRIT INCOMING!*

*You vanish to regen your ENERGY pool. Hardly a problem.*

*SIVELOS uses SWORDTECH: VARIABLE SLASH, level 9999! Configuring various settings of the ULTRA SWORD, SIVELOS transforms the ULTRA SWORD into a weapon of pure death, making its settings (such as size, crit chance, etc.) into the best possible settings. He then performs a deudly combo on WONKA; i.e., the very combo used to finish off Magolor. After the combo, the sword returns to its default settings.*

*CRITICAL HIT! WONKA's down to 1/5th HP! However, it is at this stage that the ULTRA SWORD is showing signs of not wanting to be in your hands right now! It's going to vanish soon!*
