A Giant... But better!

After blocking the shock wave Solaire's hands feel numb, the power behind it was awesome and terrible! Getting hit by the axe is a straight death sentence, he charges another lightning bolt and throws it while Reima chucks a Fire orb at it's face.... It's heat is enough to slightly melt the Iron that makes up the Golem but doesn't seem to do significant damage.

The Golem sweeps it's arm at Reima who has to Blink behind it to dodge the devastating strike, BOOM! The impact of it's arm almost disintegrates the stone brick roof of the fortress. A lightning bolt flies from Solaire and strikes it's arm joint, causing it to vibrate and shake violently for a moment.

Reima figures the joints to be the weak points of it's anatomy and starts targeting them with fire, he channels fire into his sword while casting Chaos blade before he throws another Fire orb at it's knee joint. It strikes true and causes the metal to glow red for a moment and deform slightly, if he continues this the Golem will have issues moving on that leg at all. The Golem seems smarter than the Snake men and uses it's arm to block the strikes on it's knee before raising it's axe to strike at Reima. Naturally, he books it and only leaves his shadow to take the hit from the heavy axe... The Golem tries to pull the axe from the ground by finds itself unable to move as quickly as before. In-fact Reima had used Windfall to slow it's speed so he could get another couple of shots at it's knee before the ever present counter attack crushes him. After throwing a couple more Fire orbs which causes even more damage he back up while being support by Solaire's lightning miracles.

The Golem stumbles forwards after trying to put weight on it's half melted joint by uses the momentum of it's fall to try and crush the ant throwing lightning at it. Solaire who had just charged another bolt didn't expect such tactics from a mindless Golem and finds himself unable to dodge as it comes crashing towards him. He closes his eyes and waits for the painful death about to claim him but only hears a small impact followed by creaking... Opening one eye he sees his companions with the right side of his body completely black and holding back the fist with shaking and strained movements.

Reima "DUDE GET OUTTA THE WAY!" he shouts at Solaire who just seems to be gawking at him struggling to restrain it's attack... He had seen Solaire in mortal peril and manages to channel Haki into his right side to protect him... While it's inefficient, it's the only way he can actually block it due to him not being completely able to cover himself in Armament Haki yet.

Solaire is knocked form his stupor and leaps to get away, Reima's grip slips and he finds himself being forced into the wall behind him by the Iron fist. The impact crushes some bones and makes him spit blood, but he's still alive somehow... Probably due to his half-ass'd Armament Haki.

Solaire who'd just seen his friend get crushed by the Golem becomes enraged, he dives under the Golem and starts charging up lightning storms beneath it.

The Golem despite being unable to feel emotion seems smug? He pulls it's fist back expecting to see a red pile of mince meat but instead see's a still alive Reima. It rears it's fist back for another strike but finds itself paralysed by the huge amounts of currents running through it. It's joints contract causing it to fall backwards allowing Solaire to sprint to Reima's side, despite them both being undead, it's still not an easy thing seeing a comrade die. He pulls out the divine blessing potion they'd found earlier and pours it into Reima's mouth.

Reima who was half unconscious feels a large surge of energy entering him and repairing all his injuries... He assumes it must be Solaire and confirms it by look at him through his fuzzy vision. It clears up allowing him to see Solaire's bucket helm and a divine blessing being poured into his mouth... In the backround he sees the Golem getting back on it's feet before turning in their direction... SHIT!

Despite not being completely healed yet Reima knocks the potion away and teleports them both a few meters away, to dodge the shock wave sent by the Golem.

Reima "Fuck!" The sudden movements cause some injuries to pulse painfully but he bites his lip and forces himself up to confront the Golem.

He remembers how he'd dealt with the Fire Golem back on his last trial with Arie and starts forming a larger than normal Fire Orb... He then starts channelling His unique ElderBlood energy into it causing it to change from a bright orange colour to a Turquoise one. Solaire is surprised at the power being emitted by it and it only seems to be increasing, the Golem also seems to have noticed it and starts wobbly walking towards them.

Reima pours all of his reserves into the Elder blood enhanced fire, causing the skin on his hand and arm to slowly burn off, the Golem is almost upon them as he holds the flame in-front of himself and allows it to somehow fire at the Golem like a bullet.

The fire that looks suspiciously like a spirit bomb breaks the sound barrier and hits the Golem in the chest successfully stopping it's advance... The blue flame sticks to it's chest for a moment before seeming to start imploding on itself... Reima recognises this kind of reaction and grabs Solaire with his good hand and teleports them into the room that held the Fog-gate.

Solaire "Sir Ludvig, Wha-" His words are cut off, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A huge explosion shakes the entire roof of the fortress and seems to cause the ambient magic in the air to shake in it's presence.

A sensation similar to a heatwave envelops them as Reima gives up the last of his energy to form a Quen sign to shield them both...
