Big brother

During the preparations Reima went round to each sisters to see if they had tips for him, Quelina shook her head sadly and apologised and so Reima went to see if Quelaag had anything to add. He finds her grooming her long legs with a rag and wiping what looks like charcoal from them.

Reima "Yo, Quelaag, Is there anything I should probably knew before I confront your brother?" He questions, minding his tone when speaking of their relation.

She looks at him and seems to ponder for a moment, "I remember when he was first mutated into that form, he'd always be in pain but the most painful was apparently his head... It wasn't covered in lava like the rest of his body but it was always "Sore". I think his head is probably the least mutated of his body and is likely where you should strike." Reima nods and thanks her, she sends a small smile and continues brushing her legs down.

Reima leaves to finds Quelana an then repeats his previous question.

Quelana "I don't really know... Quelina said something about them enshrining the robes I'd left behind as a memorial for me, apparently brother watches over the small shrine and attacks anyone who would dare disturb it." She looks down probably reminiscing about her brother, "If you need to get his attention quickly just do something to the shrine... While it would be disrespectful if I were dead that is obviously not the case, I give you permission to desecrate my grave." She says the last part sarcastically.

Reima "You promise to not haunt me afterwards? Not that I'd mind such a beautiful ghost following me around." He teases her and he thinks he can see a blush from without her hood. She seems to shrink away further into the cave leaving Reima alone, seems like she's rather shy to compliments.

Reima relays all the information he'd found to Solaire and Priscilla who seems to still be practising her aim at the rubble that resembles the wall they were previously using... Reima decides not to say that she'd be hard pressed to miss such a big target as he'd likely receive a slap in response.

Solaire "It's rather morbid isn't it, planning what essentially amounts to the murder of your brother... The sisters don't seem to be taking it too badly, apart from the younger one of-course."

Reima shrugs, "They've been listening to him scream in agony for centuries... I think they've come to terms with what must happen... Besides, aren't you planning something similar?"

Solaire gives a grim laugh, "Hahaha, I guess you're right."

Around a day later a large group can be found standing just outside the entrance to the demon ruins. The chaos servants, Eingyi, Laurentius, the sisters, Solaire, Priscilla and Reima are all present.

The trio who volunteered to battle with Ceaseless discharge is already suited up, Solaire and Reima with their usual armour and already enchanted weaponry, Reima had enchanted Solaire's shield with his sorcery while they wait for Priscilla to dress. She's wearing large brown robes that have been enchanted to resist fire, she has a huge Quiver that holds a large number of great arrows along with her scythe strapped to her back, she has the dragon slayers Greatbow in her arms as well.

The others wish them luck as they hear the screams and moans of the giant figure constantly spewing lava from it's body.

Reima "Alright, remember the game plan, Priscilla stay on the bridge and move back if you see it approaching you. Solaire for the love of god don't try and block a hit directly, It'd be like trying to block a waterfall but with lava, try stay back and throw lightning bolts at it while I distract it... Any questions?"

Solaire "What should we do if you are killed?"

Reima "Retreat immediately, it's not worth putting Priscilla in danger to save the few minutes it would take for me to come back." They duo nod at him, Priscilla stabs the bow into the bridge, the sharp spear point easily piercing the stone and allowing stability for the user.

Reima and Solaire walks across the bridge and enter the Fog-Gate before walking towards the shrine. The towering figure of Ceaseless discharge makes them sweat by just being in his presence due to the heat he's giving off, Reima has already equipped the flame stoneplate ring to alleviate some of the damage he might take. He sends a look to Solaire he gets as far away from the huge being while also keeping a line of sight, Ceaseless discharge watches them curiously while moaning in pain, it's many eyes looking directly at Reima as he approaches Quelana's shrine... He grabs the robes and stores them in his Folded Space after casting Homing Crystal Soulmass and preparing a large Crystal Soul spear. Ceaseless discharge immediately becomes enraged at his actions and starts bubbling in fury, a lightning bolt followed by a Crystal Soul spear and a huge great arrow all hit his head simultaneously causing the huge being to shudder and use one of it's many lava tentacles to cover it's face in response. Reima sends a thumbs up to Solaire before running to the edge of the cliff and firing a few Soul arrow to get it's attention, he ducks under a wayward tentacle that reacts to the sorceries being fire at it. As it swings past him drops of lava sizzle when they hit the charred ground beneath him causing Reima to gulp loudly, as an undead he can't gain any permanent wounds but that doesn't stop the fear of being burned alive by lava.
