Freeform Roleplay-AntIvOId!

[Neo Emolga]

IN any case, you quickly go through your other barrier and AEGIS, giving you just enough time to comprehend and GTFO, or block, or somehow strike BAAL through the swords if you can think of a way. You definitely cannot directly outpower and destroy those swords.*

(In response:)

*NEO casts DEFENDER STAR OF RENEWAL on ECRIVIAN, restoring her DESTROYED BARRIER and fully RECONSTRUCTING HER AEGIS!*

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS promptly returns to the canopy just as the intangibility wears off.*

*APOPH is literally fuming right now. APOPH's rage at such a stupid waste of an auto-resurection has increased APOPH's rage by ONE! APOPH uses LIGHT CANNON! A blast of light energy fires at BAAL, like a cannon! Real creative name, huh?*

[Neo Emolga]

Neo: Trust me, this is probably too handy when the lights go out.

*NEO casts DIVINITY STARFIRE LIGHT BEAM! A MASSIVE TORRENT OF LIGHT surges toward BAAL, lighting up everything in its wake in blinding, infinite WHITE LIGHT! All shadows for a fifty mile radius immediately disperse!*

[Sir Sivelos]

O-okay.

*SIVELOS uses AEGIS! He doesn't want to get hit by those swords.*

[Dennis Jansen]

Swords! *****!

*DENNIS jumped in front of Thunder and used PROTECT*

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS uses PROTECT, on top of his AEGIS.*

*APOPH uses AEGIS as well.*

[Ganyu]

*casts UNIQUETECH: LAMES DE BROUILLARD*

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS uses COPY ABILITY ESSENCE DELUXE: STONE! SIVELOS transforms into a solid stone statue of himself and becomes… Completely immobile. He can only transform back into his normal form, so this seems pretty useless. However, SIVELOS cannot be harmed at ALL during this form, and it is quite difficult to force him out of this form, even to a super-powered Bonus Boss like BAAL.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Back! Hooray!

Apoph: Grrr… Fine! You want STRENGTH? TAKE IT! *APOPH uses UNIQUETECH: LUX DESTRUENS! At FULL BLAST, APOPH lets out a blast of light, which seems to weave its way through the SWORDICANE, striking BAAL with true accuracy and willpower! However, the attack literally blows up in APOPH's face, wasting his auto-ressurection.*

Apoph: ARGHGGGH!!!

Bruh, chill. *SIVELOS, still fully intangible, flies through the SWORDICANE, and appears behind BAAL… and uses CHAINS OF JUPITER! Familiar ghostly electric chains extend from SIVELOS's hand, striking BAAL at point-blank range, wrapping around BAAL's limbs, attempting to restrain him and hopefully paralyze him in the process!*

*APOPH's weave of light slips through the swords and slams into BAAL at a critical moment! CRITICAL HIT! BAAL HP: 56%! BAAL is BLINDED (BY THE LIGHT, WRECKED UP, LIKE A DOUCHE, YOU KNOW THE RUNNER IN THE NIGHT,) temporarily, and his accuracy is officially GONE. The swords keep drilling regardless.*

*Inside the swords, NIGHTMARE feels a weakening sensation prior to grabbing the Key half, but can't make it out. It also returns quickly.*

*Outside, SIVELOS attempts to use his PHASED status to slip through BAAL's swords and attack...But as he does so, the swords also PHASE OUT, a dark energy surrounding them! Since only PHASED attacks can hit PHASED entities, you are sliced to bits, losing all defenses AND your auto-rez before careening into the ground.*

*opens up a portal for Apoph to blink away before the swords get to him.*

*casts FOREST REGENERATION; plants that were cut down and hacked away by the swords now regrow back as if they were never touched.*

*APOPH is teleported out of his egg, wihle BAAL continues drilling into the ground where he was.*

*FOREST REGENERATION casts...but then fails, as they're continuously being hacked away.*

*APOPH blinks away thanks to ECRIVAIN's portal!*

---

*NIGHTMARE rubs his chin. This situation seems awfully familiar.*

*Nonetheless, he takes the KEY HALF.*

*NIGHTMARE obtains the-Hoo boy.*

*NIGHTMARE'S mind reels as he takes it, and though the area doesn't change, voices are now heard. The first one sounds like a young version of him, while the other is unfamiliar...You can't really tell what they're saying, though. Try to listen in, or leave?*

(In response:)

*NEO casts DEFENDER STAR OF RENEWAL on ECRIVIAN, restoring her DESTROYED BARRIER and fully RECONSTRUCTING HER AEGIS!*

*ECRIVAIN isn't a girl, nor are his defenses in need of ANY repair. Well, unless he has very recently caught ANIME GIRL PLAGUE and got hit by a stray sword, but that seems unlikely.*

*SIVELOS promptly returns to the canopy just as the intangibility wears off.*

*APOPH is literally fuming right now. APOPH's rage at such a stupid waste of an auto-resurection has increased APOPH's rage by ONE! APOPH uses LIGHT CANNON! A blast of light energy fires at BAAL, like a cannon! Real creative name, huh?*

*BAAL's swords diffuse the light-Your poewrful attack allowed some of it to slip through, and doubly so since it was point blank, but this doesn't do anything!*

Neo: Trust me, this is probably too handy when the lights go out.

*NEO casts DIVINITY STARFIRE LIGHT BEAM! A MASSIVE TORRENT OF LIGHT surges toward BAAL, lighting up everything in its wake in blinding, infinite WHITE LIGHT! All shadows for a fifty mile radius immediately disperse!*

*Just like APOPH above, you fail for the same reasons, sadly. You've got to get DANGEROUSLY close to the EDGE OF THE SKY to attack BAAL like this.*

O-okay.

*SIVELOS uses AEGIS! He doesn't want to get hit by those swords.*

*You restore your AEGIS.*

Swords! *****!

*DENNIS jumped in front of Thunder and used PROTECT*

*You guard THUNDER from attack on top of his usual buffs.*

*casts UNIQUETECH: LAMES DE BROUILLARD*

*The NEBLEGEIST has long since vanished! You need that up to use LAMES DE BROUILLARD, so you fail!*

*SIVELOS uses COPY ABILITY ESSENCE DELUXE: STONE! SIVELOS transforms into a solid stone statue of himself and becomes… Completely immobile. He can only transform back into his normal form, so this seems pretty useless. However, SIVELOS cannot be harmed at ALL during this form, and it is quite difficult to force him out of this form, even to a super-powered Bonus Boss like BAAL.*

*You make yourself 100% INVULNERABLE! All other actions disabled! Unfortunately, you chose a poor time to try this.*

*BAAL, done with drilling the ground, lets the EDGE OF THE SKY formation return to its more natural state, then starts bearing down on everyone, the whole cloud descending even further...There's no way to survive if that nails you and even the now-invulnerable SIVELOS will be forced out of his invulnerability and be killed! Fortunately, BAAL is BLINDED, so he won't be able to see you-which is probably why he's doing this, to be honest. You can't PHASE OUT nor attempt invulnerability, neither of those seemed to work too well at this stage and BAAL's probably going to keep several swords PHASED OUT just to keep you dead if you try. There's GOT to be a solution to this problem, though! Think of something you HAVEN'T TRIED YET that will PREVENT BAAL FROM HITTING YOU!*

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS un-rocks himself and uses a SWORD REPELLANT! All sword-based damage is literally shot back at the user if it hits SIVELOS!*

*APOPH sighs and uses SIVELOS as a meat shield.*

---

*NIGHTMARE groans and decides to listen in. It's not like it could be something traumatic from his past. That'd be silly.*
