Brawl

Arriving back at the cave, spotting Julian and Piro. Ricker and I explain that we saw Oliver in another cave. We wait for the others to come back. A few minutes pass by Calu and Frank coming into the cave, saying they found the dragon king.

"Six people slightly more than I thought, but not impossible." Oliver says, coming out of a darkened corner.

"Oliver, just come back with us. There's no reason to. Fight, just come back and answer to your crimes. Asgolds already dead, he planned on using you when you died," Julian says to Oliver.

(I still don't want to fight him even after what he did. He's only a young kid.) Oliver chuckles menacingly towards us.

"I couldn't care less what Asgold would've done to me as long as all you all died!" Oliver grudgingly says while his arm turns into a mini gun.

(What guns are supposed to disappear in dungeons?) Bullets go flying throughout the cave. Piro makes a thick wall of ice that he Julian and I take cover behind. While Frank's armor protects him from the barrage of bullets. The rest going between Rickers' bones.

Calu flies toward Oliver, dragging him outside the cave. Gigantic spikes of metal come through the ground, piercing Calu's wings.

Julian charges at him, trying to slice him as he parry's her side by hitting her with a giant metal cylinder sending her away. Calu runs at him, throwing multiple kicks and punches at him, sending him back.

Ricker runs up and slaps Oliver across his face, his hand falling off, catching it in midair.

"You think you can hurt me? Asgolds old worn down lackey." Oliver says while laughing hysterically.

"No, but a talking skeleton is distracting aint it?" Ricker says while Calu breathes fire through his bones onto Oliver.

His flesh melting, showing all robotic parts underneath. (So he wasn't human at all?)

Frank and I run toward him as his arm turns back into a gun shooting at us. Frank guards against it.

Aggravated, Oliver transforms his arm into an axe, cutting off Frank's right arm clean through the Quinten steel. I run toward Oliver, cutting what looks like wires to his arm.

As Piro rushes over to heal Frank, Oliver screams in agony, his mechanical arm and electric wires regenerating. However, the other wire is spewing blood, not regenerating.

(There is a way to defeat him, but how will we hold off his regeneration enough to kill him or incapacitate him effectively? He can also now use magic without incantations.)

"Everyone focus on his wires. Taking them out may knock him out." I yell aloud as Oliver focuses on regenerating his synthetic skin.

Julian runs up to him, swinging her blades as he dodges. Ricker grabs him from behind while Calu breathes fire, melting his skin again. He tries to regenerate as Julian and I cut the wires to his legs. Oliver screams in agony, his back forming metal all around, protecting him instead of skin.

(I figured out how to deal with his regeneration Nux. After eating demons and taking in some of your blood, I've noticed he's got some demonic energy surrounding him. Try using holy magic.) Serephena tells me.

He screams, his body emitting an area of electricity protecting him. I jump back before being shocked Julian and Ricker falling to the ground.

I lift my arm as a barrage of light beams shoot towards Oliver. Piercing through the metal, he runs toward me as I swing my sword yet again at him, cutting off his last wires that had led to a limb.

"Admit your loss and come back with us. You can get help back on earth." Julian says, weakened on the ground.

"I'd rather die with you all than live in a world without mom," Oliver replies as his body starts pulsating vigorously.

Julian swiftly cuts off Oliver's head before he could explode. Dropping to her knees, Julian lets out a cry while I run towards her, putting my hand on her shoulder.

"I-I always looked up to the guild master and now having taken what's left of her, what have I done?" She says aloud.

I try comforting her as we head back into the cave, deciding to take the next few days easy since we only have one objective left: Dragtar, the dragon king.

"It'll take a few days for my wing to heal," Calu says while looking at how concerned everyone is.

"Maybe I can use Oliver's arm, heh." Frank says, while coughing and sweating vigorously. Having gotten a fever due to blood loss of losing his arm.

"No can, due. It may still have demonic. energy. Allyou, you need to do is focus on rest I can't heal, you anymore so it'll have to be natural." Piro says to Frank, worried.

We hear thumping towards the cave entrance. Several dragon kin people enter. They look all of us over eliminated.

"So six people, including Asgold's old slave, we'll have to report this back." A member of their group says as they fly off.

"What'd they say?" Julian asks Calu, and so she explains to them what the dragon kin said.

(Wait, how do I know what they said? Ugh, I give up on asking these things until I find it out. I won't question it anymore.) Calu throws Frank onto her back as we all head out.

"We will rest one more day, and then tomorrow we'll confront Dragtar." Calu says as we set up a temporary base away from the cave in case it was attacked.

In the morning, as Frank's fever has mostly subsided, we head out to where Julian saw the dragon king. We arrive at a castle surrounded by tall walls, dragon kin riding drakes around the roads. Some guards stop us from entering.

"You must be the lot that had killed our king's useful dogs. I'll bring you a lot to him to see what he wants done to you all." The guard says as he brings us to this large flat yard at the kingdom's highest point. Dragtar, a Buff black dragon kin with long horns and humongus wings sitting on a throne made of bones looks at us angrily.
