Jalken observes Joseph's counteraction against his agressors at a corner glance, shuddering in terror at their fate. "As expected.. you never held your self back. I do believe... I should do the same." Just as soon as the funnel of red thorns speed towards her, Jalken's bodily appendages all fly to form a gigantic shield, countering the attack as she is pushed backward a few inches. In a matter of seconds the Hanged Quin's free appendages form into two giant mobile drills that bore straight for her sister. Aschera counters with waves of red thorns she uses as a barricade, and she quickly leaps up to summon a giant, red-thorn-formed hand.

Jalken : Whatever happens.... (her drills are both flung towards the rushing hand, the collision causing a collapse of both materialized attacks) .... you WILL RETURN TO WHO YOU ONCE WERE, ASCHERA!!

Meanwhile, as soon as Joseph's attackers fall, Egaraida claps her hands on her throne. "Well, well. Someone knows when NOT to pull his punches. Are you perhaps, planning to destroy me completely? I suppose that can be arranged.. (smiles) but  YOU'RE going to have to HELP me."

All of the sudden.. something jabs at Joseph's back, embedding deep. It was one of the sickles of Egaraida's Plague Priests .. and it seemed to have something that started to gnaw at Joseph's very strength... [OUTCOME]

"AGHHHHHHHH!!!!" Atrea shrieks in her confined crystal-state as she struggled to break loose. "'''FREE me! You cannot hold me in here FOREVER!!" '''she strains, but Cayenne stands forlornly in front of the Plague Priest as she receives a Plague Priest anti-venom. She gazes steadily at Atrea as she starts to walk towards her.

"You forget.. that when a Contagial traps something in her cystal, it will never shatter in any natural means, nor will it ever melt or erode away in time. FOR now... know that whatever happens to you after this... you will be forgiven... Lady Atrea."

Cayenne strikes Atrea on the neck to knock her out. She shoves the antivenom needle-gun on her neck.. and injects. After her work is done she turns to prepare helping in the de-venoming of other Naetherkin... but then the gun clatters off her hand as she stumbles weakly to the ground. She looks at her own hands...her vision doubling. "W... what is....??"

Meanwhile, Somnias appears in front of Konigia, her body in a weakened state. "Lady Konigia... what is the meaning of this? Why are we weakening while the enemy forces are growing stronger and more aggressive??" Konigia looks around, infuriated. "It is the work of Egaraida. Those pillars she built... they were meant to open holes into the Naether and expose Miasma while forcing in the divide of Oz and this realm... but that one.. (points to the charging up panels at the very peak of Daspire)....it's ... not gathering anything. It's ... sucking Energy from us entities of greater power and then distributing it to the battlefield, to that woman's allies."

"Then... what were these holes she made for??" Carrion cries out as she slumps down weakly.. Mamono beginning to gather around her preparing to beat her up - but Geralda the Bete Diabra emerges from out of nowhere, beating them down from left to right. She was gritting her teeth at the thought of something... horrible.

"....I think... it's for sooomething... worse. Something... we won't be able to stop.. once she achieves it."

Jeiel sets down the two girls... and swears aloud.

"God F**KING DAMNIT!" Jeiel punches the nearest wall with such force it creates a gigantic web of a wrecked surface. "WHY? Why does this have to happen right F**CKING now?!!" He claws at his hair in frustration. Now that he thinks about it, gravity seemed to weight down on  him as he carried the Lilim version of Ophelia. The very building itself didn't want any magical and Mamono entity to wander in so carelessly.

''Danna-sama, please. You must calm yourself. ''

"I CAN'T Circe! Right now the outside is falling apart and we're stumped over this! " Jeiel places a hand on his face... and for a while there he is quiet.

But then a plan forms. One that .... fills him in dread.

"You. Lilim-Ophelia. If you cannot go anywhere... and you hold the Clowin within.. (his eyes glint) ...... I want both of you to agree.... to surrender the energies of the Clowin to me... via Allegiance transferrence."

At the spectacle Pir'e made before her very eyes, Lyndis' face glows in rage. "'''YOU... dare PUT on a show before ME?? YOU DARE?!!" '''Lyndis' body starts to flare up in Vampiric energy.. and the cloak behind her starts to raise up like a flying fox's wings in a crimson hue. Her sidearm blades grows bigger... and she starts to run....towards the other Vampire screaming. The blades gleam on her armsides. Around that same time, Pir'e feels the chill of her own Mamono energy starting to weaken... putting her in discomfort ...

"LET ME PUT AN END TO THIS FARCE!!"

As the smoke clears on the battlefront between the Femme Diaboliques and Samuel-Samiah, Altair is the only one left standing.. as Balthema had been knocked down by the one-shot move, Right before she could stand, Samuel-Samiah knocks her out and drives an anti-venom gun on the Mamono's neck. Altair quickly leaps several paces away and strains herself - her arm had been broken at the impact from Samuel-Samiah's attack. Samuel-Samiah glares at her. "Give. UP." He says with finality. Altair growls as her bladed arm explodes in tentacles that start to undulate wildly, wrapping themselves around her until she emerges in a new, fear-bringing form. "'''DO NOT TEST ME!!" '''she responds as she leaps for the latter, to which Samuel-Samiah was about to counter with a fist attack -- but then the weakening sets in and it causes the duality to step back.

"SHIT!"

Samuel-Samiah is grabbed by Altair's tentacles - and then thrown off with such hurtling force that the duality is buried into the earth... and the ground is torn open on impact..

"We were too late." Katora clicked her tongue - but then her attention turns to a heaving Seiren. "Seiren?? What's happening?" :I don't... know..... but I...my strength... it's fading..." Seiren struggles to keep standing, only to fall to her knees. Just as soon as she, Katora and Celsion recieves the anti-venom guns from Isaac, Seiren stands up. "We... have no time to dilly dally... we must... continue..."

Despite Katora's intent to voice out opposition for Seiren, Celsion steps in. "We must help. KATORA! COME ON!" She hoists Seiren's arm under her shoulders, and without anything else to do to resist the request the three hop back to the field where they dodge bullet fire and begin de-venoming the Quitonne-spawn they come across..

Elsewhere across the field, other members of the Naether Empire do what they can to knock down Quitonne-spawn and de-venom them. However, it was becoming a harder task as the latter group was getting stronger and more brash in their moves. Their weapons were an even bigger issue. On that same end, Repter was starting to feel his own strength leave him thanks to the brutal blow the Des Abel left...

It was this that causes an Asphynx to appear out of nowhere and smack Repter with such force that he is launched off his feet... and made to skid to the earth, right as the latter began to walk towards him followed by a gathering of Rashocs by her side...

Ayu was fighting her opponent with such splendor and speed, that the Mal Corazon was finding it difficult to comprehend where her strikes would land. She was moving ''as fast - no.... faster - than the Mal Corazon. ''The Quitonne-spawn's own tentacular blows kept being deflected without relent, which causes the Mamono to back up... and try another tack.

She buries her tail to the earth..... and without her being able to sense where it would emerge, Ayu soon spots the tail --bursting out of the ground underneath her feet..

Fari and Kida do their share of work to distribute the anti-venom. At the same time, they pull to the side the wounded as Kida starts to treat them. "Fari, you have the medical pack there, yes? Open it for me. I have to extract a bullet from the wound. Be a good girl and assist me." said the Trickle to the Fabreal. "Y..Yes Kida-ne!" replies Fari as her metal-made magical double rushes to the battlefield to search for wounded fighters..

Ka Mula replies, "We can be there in an hour's time, at a running pace. We must act now. " She looks at the rest of the group from Sky Hammer for reassurance. "You are right to say that our allies are in danger. I can sense... something more malignant is about to occur."

"An air-dispersal anti-venom bomb? I .. think it would work, but you'd have to condense it into sparse vapor to allow it to sink into the infected subject's skin a lot quicker or else it won't work." says Bright as he dismantles the tech in front of him and rendered modifications. A few seconds later, he fashions a medium-sized electro-magnetic bomb. "CONRAD! I want you to tie this up with the ballistic missile you're going to launch, so that both can go off at the same time. Think you can do that?" He starts to hunker down and pull up... a leather bag. "I have to get down there fast. It's time for me... to join that fight."
