Peril's Origin - A Magical Girl Quest [Complete]

You move instantaneously, darting off toward the towering beast. The distance is too far to land the first strike, but you just focus on the sweeping paw instead and push yourself off the ground. While you jump however, Gabriel's light burns the Dragon all over. Then its scales flash, gathering mana and brimming with power.

Its paw passes by below your feet by instants and you kick off of it for good measure, weapon switching to scythe form just in case. You grin up at the titan's beady eyes where it tries to backpedal, shockwave of its strike still ravaging the brittle ground below.

So you slam the tip of your scythe into its snout and tear through, then switch to Aetheric Tide in one fluid motion, managing to stab it a few times before the scythe's influence wears off and the scales grow thicker to close the small wound. The remaining strikes fail to even scratch the surface and your momentum soon carries you against its head, where you push off and backward to behold your work.

What looked like reactive growth is much more than that. The Dragon's scales brim with power as if in direct response to your assault. Your scythe barely penetrated and needed all of its traits to do so, your spear bounced off without a scratch when the first break was countered, and what damage you did immediately led to a powerful burst of magic in every single scale.

You notice Gabriel from the corner of your eye, a beacon of light that gets into position above the creature that breathes in deeply. Mana surges up its throat and you ready yourself, wrapping your spear into quickly expressed mana. It exhales rainbow light buzzing like a swarm of angry hornets, attempting to drown you in its devastating power.

(Feeble Wave: +200000 Base Damage, no dice = 200,000 Total Damage

Attack negated)

It hits you mid-air, but that does not matter. As if you were playing baseball, you smash your weapon's head into the stream's front and have it slide along the path your magic made, giving it a right-angled turn to the side that disintegrates half of the field.

At the same time, you feel something horrible in the wave just passing through. It screams at you, buzzes, sizzles, rattles, hisses. You feel like drowning even just from being in close proximity, completely free of its influence. One strand even reaches out for you, the most horrific of it all, but it is washed away with the rest.

You continue your descent while Gabriel makes her presence known.

Attack Ineffective.
Do you even lift?)

Her first swing breaks the sword as it seems to try breaking through those scales with brute force, bringing Gabriel slightly off-course, but she can self-correct with how big her target is. The second and third hammer into its back just as ineffectively, but by then the blade of light you know so well has grown enough to take over.

Again and again you watch her strike down onto the Dragon who begins to growl and shake while shockwaves of the impacts tear holes into the ground. You lose count around ten and Gabriel's blade continues to grow with each swing but still fails to so much as dent the beast.

You throw your spear to redirect a paw thrown her way to interrupt the rain of blows coming down from above, being able to do little else. The ground shakes and crumbles from the shockwaves by the time you land, quickly rolling backward and recalling Aetheric Tide to your hand when you see Gabriel scatter away from another swat.

Her entire attack run did... nothing. Nothing. Enough force to kill you a million times over and this monster has not so much as a scratch.

Gabriel seems to share your feelings, seeing how she makes a sharp turn and comes back to strike again. The Dragon flaps its wings and pushes off, out of your reach. You call for Argent Star, but the five spheres are nowhere near fast enough to impact before the super long lightblade comes back.

Misplaced attack cuts Sheol in two.)

This time she gets through almost immediately, though the Dragon's scales still refuse to break. They dent to an almost comical degree while Gabriel pummels her near-helpless victim... but then mana seeps from within, making her next strike slide off as well as the return afterward. The monster cries a challenge at her and turns sideway from where it is trying to gain height, and you see it a moment too late. How its head is angled and the seeping shield still in place, making Gabriel's blade slide off at an angle and straight to the ground.

You raise your spear and throw, but it simply pings off the swinging blade. Gabriel does not even act until it already slammed into the ground and cut inside, now propelled by its own self-imparting momentum.

She tries to slow herself and pull back, but it is too little, too late. The swing continues straight down and then completes.

Sheol shudders below you as the planet seems to only belatedly realise what just happened. The two halves begin to shake and drift apart from each other, mana swirling in disarray. The Dragon rises higher, away from you, while both you and Gabriel ignore it in favour of looking at what you just did.

Titanic groans can be heard, the noise of stone crushing on stone, something bubbling, you do not dare looking into the growing rift. She cut the entire planet in two halves, something that should not have happened. You are too horrified to consider the ramifications right now.

It sounds as if something tears and everything around you, some kind of layer over reality, twists before-


And the creature before you, perhaps for the first time in its life, rears back and breaks eye contact. Seeing this, you slowly relax your gritted teeth and begin to smirk. Where Gabriel beside you resists and takes to the air, your own self reaches out to the swirling vortex and plugs it shut!

Before, you were worried and maybe even sad about having to do this. But now? Now this is personal.
