(1)As marik continues deep into the cave system he is met with little to no opposition as the only thing stopping him is sealed and shut doors , each door a simple task for someone of astrdi or marik’s caliber. Although it would be obvious to both in the event the traveled this route the deeper they went..



(2) There where no signs of human life well atleast none that was note worthy those riatsu signatures from earlier had vanished or…had they simply diminished? Only time would tell the walls themselves would grow thick with spiders webs strands as thick as yarn held human remains and clung to the ceiling.



(3) Whisper would be carried on the wind , followed by the foul stench of decay till he came to one last door a sense of foreboding about it , once he crossed this threshold all bets where off most likely whatever had taken the village was behind this door and if not some other abomination either way they where in for a fight.



-with astrid-



(4) A shrill and loud shriek would echo through the air as astrid’s obsidian spikes pierced through the slug woman , it’s body going rigid as it was pinne dto the roof by not only the force but sheer piercing power of the technique , the explosion only adding isult to injury as she was sliced into many chunks of flesh.



(5) Part of her was eternally pinned to the ceiling embedded in the shredded stone , while the rest of her rained down on astrid like rain made of slug meat with a nice coating of slimy acid with her dead it would be nothing more than slimy spicy meat that made her mouth tingle a little.



(6) Astrid won leaving that creature behind who knows maye one day in teh future she might see that creature in hell , but for now the remains would simply begin shriveling and decaying as they writhed upon teh cold hard earth of teh cave. Now what could possibly await the duo of samson and astrid~

Astrid waited with Samson for a moment, even after the last three spirits came back and reported to her that the being was dead. She was going to give it the means to regenerate if it could. See if she was truly done with it. And in the meantime? She was going to consume various chunks of flesh from the beast that had followed them almost outside the collapsed tunnel. She found herself unironically enjoying the spicy tingle from the flesh as most of Hell only knew heat by proxy of being astronomically hot in temperature. Astrid finally got her confirmation however once she heard the screams of this woman. Astrid's eyes brightened up considerably as she smiled as maliciously as possible. A quick poke within herself and she almost immediately saw the soul being ground into spiritual fertilizer. Eventually the screams finally stopped, and Astrid simply returned herself to the external world with a satisfied sense of self.



"Find Marik. We need to make sure he found something." A quick hop onto Samson's arms and she crawled her way back to onto his back. This time above the ominous cloak he was wearing. It took the group and Samson a moment to find Marik as he'd moved elsewhere, deeper in another direction of this cave. With a nod towards her pack, she had them race forward, Samson almost immediately taking the lead. However, given the state of that beast, whatever else was down here likely was just as strong and thus ten spirits weren't going to cut it. So, she searched within herself and drew out ten more hollow chicks. Given they could fly and were small they'd do just perfectly here in this underground space. Not that space concerns matter but still they could do a bit more than the others.



Given the group was running as a whole at top speed it ultimately didn't take more than ten minutes to find Marik in front of a strange set of double doors. She glanced them over with a small frown. They were sealed up but looked like they'd break easy enough. And though the room they were in was engulfed in spider webs nothing else was around them. Astrid rolled her eyes at the webs. Won't be dealing with those again. . . Unless I bring them out. Not a bad idea actually. Maybe in a bit I will. A quick glance at Marik showed Astrid he too had been through a fight. Though like herself he seemed none the worse off for it. So, he likely was fine, not that she'd expected anything less. Though with him just staring at the door in question she did have to wonder what he was doing.



Hopping off of Samson and walking up to Marik she got into his field of vision and started speaking. "Any reason you didn't break this thing open already? Surely it can't stand up to a cero yea?" She did another one over on him now that she saw his front side. It seemed he really didn't have any damage to him. And though the blood was drying, it definitely wasn't his blood. Her glowing orbs shined a little as she huffed in approval. "I see you had some fun yourself. Ya looks better in someone else's blood and viscera. Should wear it more often. Would be myself if the cloak hadn't taken the brunt of the mess. Anyway, you got a plan or are we going in without? We've wasted enough time with their bullshit as it is."

(1) Marik had stopped cold in his tracks something was pulling at his mind , clawing tooth and nail to get out he would be held firmly in place hand upon the metal door. The cold metal thrumming lightly against his hands in rhythm with his pulse. 'what the fuck is that?!' he would think to himself

(2) The encroaching sense of laziness and nilhism returning , 'give me back my body!' his adrenaline rush slowly fading. A small smile on his face as his grip upon the door tightened ,  'get back to the passenger seat! this is my joy ride and i havent killed enough' he would think to himself pushing back that feeling of repressed laziness he wouldnt fall back not now.

(3) Before he had time to finish that thought a new presence entered his field of perception , 'when did she?' he was in slight shock had he been so caught up internally that he hadn't noticed the woman appear. Or was she simply that fast in comparison to himself.

(4) "I see you had some fun yourself. Ya looks better in someone else's blood and viscera. Should wear it more often. Would be myself if the cloak hadn't taken the brunt of the mess. Anyway, you got a plan or are we going in without? We've wasted enough time with their bullshit as it is." Astrids words wrung about in his skull for a bit then the mention of a cero being brought into play , an eerie smile would spread on his face followed y a small chuckle.

(5) "No plans here , now then lets have ourselvs a blood bath" his voice taking on a sharper edge as dug his fingers into the steele with a gleeful smile ripping the door off the hinges and tossing it aside , not caring for the stealthy approach in the slightest anymore.

(6) Charging forth through the door he would charge two cero's one in each hand , glowing a bright sickly neon green bathing the room in a bright eerie green glow. The smile of wanton bloodlust on his face would seem out of place for those that had come to know him

(7) For the first time since he had perished beneath that cherry tree blood filling his lungs , he was truly himself for however long this would last.  'i had almost forgotten just how fucking fun this all was , lets shake the rust off'' he would think to himself with a satisfyed toothy grinn.

(1)Silence like a cancer grew within the webbed chamber of she who thirsted for knowledge , the only sounds echoing through the dark where the wet squelches of her fangs diving into the skulls of her many long since dead captives. Each mind holding new secrets and horrible truths , the villagers had long since stopped being useful she had turned her sights upon those of more suitable caliber. The beings called themselves quincy’s , shinigami’s and hollows such interesting fowl long lived brutes how she wished to convert the fools and make them her puppets of eternal servitude.



(2) She had felt a link form earlier and was absolutely giddy with excitement some poor creature was delivering itself right to her , and it was bringing several snacks along with it. Oh how delightful she had even sent two of her favorite servants to fetch them to see if they where worth the trouble of lobotimizing and keeping around as playthings for a while before eating them. She was very pleased to learn that her old servants had perished these two knew ones would serve her well.



(3) She would scurrie over to the door her servants often used , and would begin spinning a web trap just above the door , hooking the string to the ceiling and hanging upside down out of view if her soon to be prey. The room was pitch black the walls and cieling where coated in webs and humanoid remains on the floor there was some solid ground but one step and one could tell that the floor was merely stones patchworked together with web and stone anyone of considerable weight would fall straight through.



(4) Should the door have swung open the net would have dropped snaring the target but no this foul ignorant beast was so uncouth as to rip the door off it’s hinges , this creature would learn it’s place just like all the rest. As it’s web snare was rendered useless the creature would simply it’s claws releasing four thin webs from it’s fingers , the webs themselves would arc toward marik at a speed of 1600 the web itself was as thick as your average humans thumb so easy to see not so easy to dodge.



(5) As for the plant woman she who thirst couldn’t see them just as they couldnt see her hanging from the ceiling , as the creature was currently suppressing her presence it would take and ES of 200 or greater to sniff out her hiding spot on the ceiling. But should marik be unable to dodge this attack he would find himself split in half right down the middle as the other threads slammed into the wall behind him.



(6)  room itself is a good hundred meaters in size , she is currently hanging from the roof of the room firing off at a distance in the event you do sense or see her. She is a monster of that appears to be a mix of spider and human standing at a grandiose eighty feet tall , given the ceros should bath enough light in the area that she is easily described.

Astrid smiled widely at Marik. She could tell that something was off about him. He wasn't the quite the same person that he'd been when she first met him. Especially not in the Menos Forest but more specifically when they first met in that cabin. Still, whatever finally clicked into place within him or took over was a breath of fresh air as far as she was concerned. However, Astrid did decide that she would do something while Marik had his back turned to her. He wanted to go in guns blazing, and Astrid was more than willing to do so but with one small caveat of safety. With a flick of her fingers, she made a small ring, about 2in in size and quickly it turned to a ring made of golden strands. She flung it over at Marik at max speed and made it ever so gently land on his clothing. Intent on making sure he didn't feel it given it was weightless and not touching his physical body.



From there she simply put her hand before her and channeled hollow energy she'd been stockpiling. The energy was pitch black and heavy in feeling. It took a few moments to create her mask, namely the few moments Marik was dealing with the door and intent on busting it open. Once she did however, he eyes widened as she immediately began to sense what was around them, something very much alive and very much waiting for them. She growled to herself and activated the sigil on Marik's backside. Marik from his point of view would see the world shift and warp around him before he finally appeared next to Astrid's side. She was growling to herself and only a moment later did Marik and Astrid both see the four strands of web hit through the air and deep into the rock and ground beneath his walking area.



Astrid would look up at him. "It's above the door. Fucker is BIG." Astrid immediately had Samson be the spawn for yet more spirits as from the web alone she knew that this thing was going to be an even MORE colossal pain in the ass. Still this thing was a large target so they might be easier to hit as well. From Samson's chest cavity dropped out the four saika spirits again along with yet more wisps. Astrid mentally ordered her spirits to fan out spread into the rock that encompassed the room as a whole. Do not leave the walls. Worst case, we collapse this entire fucking room on this thing. The last one survived it. . . and this one might also but. . . . there's not a lot else we can try. .



In the meantime, Astrid looked over at Marik and Samson. One look in the room was all she needed to know Samson wasn't likely to . . . exist for long in that space. He'd very likely fall into and deep into the webs. And if the webs were anything like greed's crystals. . . they could be poisonous or even acidic. Samson would only have so long. He had to stay outside for the time being. Unless. . . And that's when Astrid smiled. She quickly created two more teleportation sigils and threw one underneath Marik and Samson while the one on her left hand flew to her feet. She looked a Marik with a smile that promised a stupid fucking plan. "Let's see how she handles multiple targets." Then without any concern for Marik's decision in the matter she flung all of the sigils forward and spread them out into the room. Marik on the far right. Samson on the far left and Astrid in the middle.



Astrid was controlling all of the sigils and was doing her utmost to have them all dodge any webbing around. Preferring to keep them all in the open space. Meanwhile her spirits were all sticking within the walls and going into the ceiling flying with Astrid and company while waiting for her command. Astrid sincerely hoped however, that Marik would make use of the moving platform she created and could use them to his advantage. How she had no idea. But she was within yelling distance so as long as he said something specific, she could try to make it happen.

{Rosahringur Ring}Class: 5

Technique Type: Hellion

Usable By: Hason

Technique Element: Sigil

Technique Description and Effects:

Rosahringur Ring is the next step of a hason's step techs. Inherently the Teleportation sigil is unable to be utilized on those other than the hason. And even without the Aspected sigils it cannot be used on objects. However, this is where the sigil starts to show its niche. This sigil technique specifically is meant to move everything in addition to the user around the battle field. However it does this by swapping targets current places with one another. And unlike teleportation sigil this is capable of being use on allies and enemies so long as the sigil is placed on them.

For allies they simply need to accept the sigil on their body. And from there the user can have ally teleport with anywhere else a Teleportation Sigil is at or wherever a person with a Ruosahrigur Ring is currently placed at. In addition, should the user have the Aspected Sigil: Infamous Renown chosen they can apply this to any object around them.

When it comes to enemies this is a little bit harder to use. Namely because enemies will not accept the sigil, with good reason. Thus physical contact is required to place the Rosuhringur Ring on them. If the ring is placed on an enemy they can forcibly teleported to another spot a current recipient of Rsuhringur is at. They are not given the means to be forcibly moved to any teleportation sigils. This must be within 50 feet of another recipient otherwise the technique does not work.



How to use technique:

Draw up the sigil and place it upon an individual. If they are willing, this can be applied anywhere on them. For enemies the sigil can be drawn first but must be sized appropriately and placed upon an area that it fits. Normally the torso.

Technique Drawbacks :

There can only be 3 rings at a given time. And every instance of moving an object or an individual counts against the users per post step technique count.

Must know and have mastered Teleportation Sigil.

The cost for each ring is the base class cost. Teleporting an ally or object costs the same as the base step tech (50 reiatsu). Teleporting an enemy is 4x times that. (200 reiatsu)

Enemies must be in physical contact with the sigil. This does allow the sigil to be flexed and destroyed if their strength/RS is higher than the users RS. In addition, teleporting an enemy costs 2 steps of the user's total steps per post.

There must be a recipient or a teleportation sigil active for an ally to be teleported. For enemies a recipient of the ring must be present and within 50 feet.

(1) Marik would have his entire world spun around at an insane pace one minute he was charging into battle the next thing he knew he was next to astrid , but that smile was all he needed to see to feel re-assured in her plan no matter what she had in store.

(2) As he began to take a step foward he would find himself once more teleported ,  as he thrust his left arm forward letting loose a bright neon green cero in the direction of the creature. Unsure of what damage it would do but what else could he do.

(3) This thing was big and with a swing like that he had not a single fucking wish to be on the receiving end of that things attacks , 'god this big bitch is touch but i wouldnt have it any other way' he would think to himself as his cero sailed through the air with a speed of 800.

(4) should the cero find it's mark it would detonate with the strength of 400 os , not a very sizable feat but it was a cero what did anyone expect. he was poking teh bull he had to see what would happen if it took a hait from his spirit energy.

(1) Somthing rather fun happens when spider webs hit flames can you guess? No? Well fun fact they burst into glorious harmonious flames. Beautiful in small quantity and short order but in this great a magnitude and with spiritual durability this battlescape is now in the process of becoming a blazing unholy inferno.

(2) The orange flames of teh saika’s now becoming purple as the spirit energy that gave the web’s their durability was now being burned away , and just like the flames the queens fury was now in full swing but before she did anything else she needed to deal with the bastard that had just fired upon her.



(3) With a measly speed of 80 she had no chance of dodging or striking back but what she could do was flex every muscle in her body as the cero made contact with her body , The explosion was violent and loud the area shaking fiercly as the caveran sought stability luckily the webs holding the area together woundlt allow such a cave in to happen atleast not yet.



(4) She had suffered minor burns and scrapes nothing to crazy but these damn pest’s had to learn thier place and she was all to happy to doll out this punishment , Swinging her limbs once more she would fling one thread at marik one at astrid and one at samson. Each thread approaching at a speed of 1600 but the targets where a bit different this time she had one aimed at his right arm that still held that annoying green orb! And the other thread aimed to slash astrid in half diagonally and with samson she simply wished to cut him in half.



(5) How dare they destroy her beautiful home , and pilfer her food they would be punished no matter the cost , with her web burning it would lose durability and any of her own missed attacks would constitute a static five hundred damage. She needed to end this quick and these pest’s needed to lay down an die.

Astrid was smiling still, despite admittedly getting a wee bit-tired manipulating three sigils at once. There were webs. Rocks. Human bodies. Fire. Wait WHAT. Astrid looked for a moment at the flames her saika souls had created. The webbing was visibly weakening, and the flames were spreading FAST. Astrid had to admit. She really wished she'd thought of that before she walked in. Might have made things easier on them if she were honest. Still at least it was helpful. . . until yet another collapse happened. Astrid felt her temper going up but then her fire of anger disappeared as she felt movement on the part of the beast they had to deal with. Turns out, the cero did next to no damage. Really made Astrid concerned for a moment about their capability for killing this thing. . . and it was nudging her ever closer to feeling like she had to use her spirits as bombs. . . which meant she needed to bring out the last few.



There was one issue with this idea, however. A. Where would they go to also avoid a collapse given you know. . . Astrid could only make Marik incorporeal at the moment. Though perhaps she could actually do something with just a little more time. And B. The spider was attacking again. The spider monster was attacking again. Astrid's eyes grew in size, and she immediately used trebuchet to fire off sigils the sigil from the back of her right hand and from her chest cavity out and above her while going a bit to the right. The sigils initially were 2in in size but once fired grew to be 2 feet in diameter while flying at 800 speed and thankfully not in the way of any web strings. Astrid didn't let em get very far. Maybe 20 feet at the most before she activated everyone's teleportation sigils and brought them to the pair of fresh sigils.



The world warped and twisted again before returning to its normal form. And not a moment to fucking soon as all 3 of her sigils were destroyed and the web shots went and slammed into the webbing around the entire room. . . that was already on fire. . . and was actively weakening the structure further. And that's when Astrid heard it. The rumbling and grumbling of the walls and ceiling. Hell, she started to see boulders and other objects that were previously held by the webbing fall out of place and into the abyss below which was suddenly a whole lot more noticeable now. Astrid knew there was nothing else she could do about this situation. They needed an out and Astrid's hand was forced. She'd need to summon out the other spirits and have Marik use a garganta or something asap.



Astrid mentally ordered Samson to once again spawn yet more spirits from his chest cavity, this time all of them being hollow chicks given they were the only thing that could fly. They all came out one after the other. And Astrid upon seeing the first one immediately yelled out to them, mentally. GO TO THE CIELING!!! Then turned to Marik and yelled at him. "THE ROOMS GONNA COLLAPSE USE A GARGANTA OR SOMETHING AND GET US OUT OF HERE!" In the meantime while Astrid was trying to speak to Marik and keep the sigils flying around Samson kept his eyeless sockets on the beast to see what she was doing. Astrid was without a doubt not paying attention given the inevitable cave in, so he needed to be certain that she was kept safe in the meantime.

(1) Marik would laugh like an amused child as the area began to shake tremble and bow as the webs fell like flaming snow. Dismissing his cero to simply disperse into spirit energy. Although his victory would be short lived as the spider revealed herself once more.

(2) "oh come on!" he would exclaim as the thing sent a thread railing his way , quickly raising his arm to attempt to block he would find himself teleported once more. 'i need to know how she does that!' he would think to himself with a smile.

(3) His admiration of her wouldn't last long as she barked orders at him to get them the hell outta there and he wasn't one to ignore a request from a perfectly good killing machine. Sonido'ing over to her he would grab her arm firmly or what he assumed was an arm.

(4) He would then rapidly activate his cavidad , blade hand and heaven carver all at once , jumping back with astrid falling into the void of his cavidad. He would swipe one last time at the air as if karate chopping the air

(5) Should astrid have 15o senses she would see the distortion of air both around his hand and flying at the spider beast , upon impact it would rend open several gaping wounds drawing blood forth from the wounds.

(6) Useing his sonido while in cavidad they would emerge upon the surface landing in a nice soft bank of snow , marik would be laughing the entire time as they raced through the void. "we should kill more people together!" he would say as he landed back first in the snow still laughing.

Astrid was actually worried about being crushed. Certainly, there were worse ways to die. She'd died several times over in worse scenarios. It didn't mean she wanted to die in such a fashion but if it was going to happen it was going to happen. Regardless Marik didn't waste a moment as he disappeared on his own, likely with Sonido and appeared next to her. He did something and she admittedly couldn't see just what he did, but she realized very quickly after she was thrown in a room just what was going on. It was similar, albeit not quite the same as Charlotte's Garganta. Astrid made a mental note to ask about this later when they weren't about to die. Although, given she was now not in that space she was saved from that route.

However . . . that left Samson in the cave. For a moment anyway. Marik was still doing something but Samson having enough ES actually managed to sense the rift and ran into it himself. Almost stepping on Astrid in the process. She breathed deeply in relief as while Samson was going to be safe regardless, she did hold a special place within herself for Samson. Literally and figuratively. But then she smiled darkly as she saw just the quickest moment what Marik had done. He'd let loose some kind of ability, something that in truth? Likely dwarfed everything BUT the massive output of reiatsu that he'd shown in their first meeting. Whatever it was, without a doubt was going to hurt like a bitch and then some. Better that fucking thing than her. That's all she was going to say on the matter.

And speaking of the bitch. With Samson here and Marik back within his own space. She held up a hand for a moment. With a simple mental command, she called forth all her spirits back to her again. And just as before a plethora of multi-color spheres and sakura petals started swirling together in the palm of her hand. Meanwhile outside her spirits, all having reached the ceiling grew cracks of bright pink energy. And it glowed brighter. And brighter. And brighter as more and more of them glowed. Eventually they grew so bright that despite the overwhelming pink tint it actually looked whiter than anything. And then it was gone. Replaced by a roar from the depths of the earth itself as Astrid let loose the biggest and most potent spiritual blast, she was capable of using.

Rocks from the ceiling that weren't immediately vaporized were thrown into the beast and down into the pit with tremendous force. The earth above the web pit immediately fell in and made a veritable wall of death fall behind the beast and into the depths below. Meanwhile as far as Astrid, Samson, and Marik were concerned? They only heard the absolutely deafening roar before Astrid nodded and let Marik move the extra dimensional space to the surface. Once there, the space seemed to pop like a bubble, and loe and behold they were back in a veritable crater, given the sheer volume and power of the explosion that was created God only knows how far below. But they were safe. Astrid just let herself lay on the snow while Samson came over and laid down next to her.

She chuckled some to herself and mentally bid him compliments finally glad that this entire fucking endeavor was over. It was. . . concerning at times. Immensely infuriating without a doubt. And generally speaking, a complete waste of time. But fuck if she wasn't satisfied that she managed to kill a LOT of things. Damage the world around her with practically little regard for others. And even managed a fuck ton more spirits to collect along the way. Even if the world around her was a barren frozen wasteland, life was good for the next few minutes. Enough that she was actually dare she say happy and even willing to answer Marik or alter Marik? Whatever or whoever the fuck he was at the moment. She had to agree though. If he was going to remain this way, yea she could stomach some more genocidal runs against others. "So long as you remain like this? Fuck it. Why not? Dunno what finally clicked in you but whatever it was needs to stick around."
