Chereads / Solitude's Requiem / Chapter 107 - Hitting A Wall

Chapter 107 - Hitting A Wall

The dremora siblings Uzalla and Uzarai had decided to join Secessus in battle. Honoring the previous assistance he had bestowed upon them by aiding him in his time of need. Following his lead and pace, they decided to attack the berserking orc.

Secessus uses his wings and Ulthris diminished rationality to strike from above. The siblings do not have this ability and aim for other places.

Uzalla has the most strength of them and decides to simply aim for the stomach. If someone had to clash against "Schweres herz", she would be the best choice.

Uzarai is far nimbler than his sister and whilst his elegant fighting style is good to parry, the sheer strength of Ulthris Kaahen will probably override any technique.

The raging orcish beast in front of them uses "Schweres herz" to try and strike Uzalla. She manages to dodge the frighteningly strong strike using a quick faint before she slashes into his stomach.

Again, a combination of puss and blood pours out. The blisters now covered the entire orcish brute in front of them. Continuously expanding and growing more disgusting with each passing second.

Uzalla who was warned about this unpleasant combination jumps backward out of its range. A few droplets of boiling blood make contact with her hand, giving an intense burning sensation as it burns through her gauntlets.

During this exchange, both Secessus and Uzarai also managed to strike Ulthris. Secessus stabbed his shoulder with his spear, whilst Uzarai Stabbed one of his feet with his acidic blade.

The out pour of boiling blood and puss forced them to retreat.

"I don't want to be the bearer of bad news. But if we don't find a way to quickly do some actual damage, then we will be buried six feet under." Uzarai says, seeing how little damage they actually managed to do against their opponent.

"That's not the problem, my blood. Rather, the problem is that we can't stay in his vicinity for a long time because of those blisters and whatever material they're shooting out once hit." Uzalla says, analyzing the situation. Showing a commanding presence whilst doing so.

Secessus had to, unfortunately, agree with both their statement. The damage that they can inflict is limited, and every time they try to rush him, they risk being hit by "Schweres Herz."

"I have something to test out. Wait here for a second." Secessus says before flying towards Ulthris.

Not necessarily trying to inflict any major damage, he focuses on dodging "Schweres Herz" and popping one of the many blisters. Having successfully done so, he summons some dark magic around the part of the body where the boiling blood and puss will land.

The blood and puss cannot seem to burn through the darkness, or at least the darkness seems to be able to shield against it to a certain extent.

Seeing this, Secessus mixes fire magic with blood magic. Creating a powerful fireball as he throws it next to Ulthris. Causing the brute to be disorientated.

"I don't know if you realize, but a lava stone orc is resistant against these types of spells." Uzarai immediately says towards Secessus as he lands.

"Silent! Come tell us, what did you find out?" Azulla intervenes in her brother's criticism, having noticed that their shade demon ally had discovered something.

"I can use darkness magic to shield us against the content of the blisters. However, I'm not certain to what extent nor if I'm able to dodge his attack and focus on protecting all three of us." The shade demons says in a pensive tone.

"You're suggesting that we charge at Ulthris kaahen, the leader of the lava stone orcs and considered one of the pillars of these cities by ourself?" Azulla asks back, trying to get a definite answer.

"Well, wording it like that is harsh. I'm saying that I will support you two whilst keeping my distance. If everything goes well, you two should be able to stay in his vicinity and actually hurt him. Besides, you're an experienced warrior, right? I doubt a brainless monster will land a hit." Secessus explains, trying to swoon the two dremoras into accepting the idea.

"What if he does hit us?" Uzarai, the more frail of the two dremoras asks.

"Don't worry, Uzalla will be fine, I believe."

"What about me?" Uzarai immediately asks, noticing a hint of doubt in Secessus's tone.

"You? You'ill be........ fine..... yeah totally fine." Secessus responds, not able to sound truthful in the slightest.

"Why did it take so long to answer that?" Uzarai asks back suspiciously.

"Just don't get fucking hit, okay? I will try to intervene if I notice things going awry. It's not like I have to cover your bodies with my darkness magic, which requires precision and concentration and is probably the only protection you would have against a substance that will burn its way through your skin." Secessus replies, getting quite moody because of the constant complaints.

"AAAAARRRRGGGHHH" the berserking lava stone yells, still searching for his victims.

"Do you have any other spells that might help?" Uzalla asks, noticing that Ulthris is getting closer.

"I do. Let me touch your weapons." Secessus replies in a dry tone as he holds out his hands.

The 2 dremoras quickly hold out their weapons.

Secessus firstly grabs Uzalla's great sword and cut his hand with it. The blood that seeps out of the wound begins to envelop the blade, giving a crimson tint to the already stained blade.

Reaching out for Uzarai blades, he decides to do the same thing.

"You're sure right?" Uzarai asks, seemingly concerned.

"Yes, give here quickly." Secessus simply replies, swiftly dismissing Uzarai's useless question.

Cutting his hand once again with Uzarai's blades. He noticed why Uzarai even asked that question. Having completely forgotten that the yellow tinted blade had some type of acid. He cuts himself for far more damage than he thought.

"AAAH! Dammit!" Secessus curses out of surprise.

"I war-." Uzarai tries to speak.

"Just take the blade and shut up." Secessus interrupts Uzarai clearly infuriated.
