Turn 1~Battle Theme (Kagutsuchi)~Libra Vertex:Player Turn:Alanis attempts to use her command of gravity magic to lock the gargantuan orb of flames away from the tree. While it
fails to stun, what it does do is deal
7 damage to the creature. It continues its inexorable advance towards the ship.
”Desist, foul creature! For the good of all humanity, I smite thee!”A blast of dragon-shaped petals slams into the side of the Libra Vertex from Chizuru’s prayer beads. The magic partially
fizzles out on contact, and Chizuru only deals
27 damage to the Vertex.
Ian attempts to go for a melee attack, leaping into the creature’s ‘face’ to claw at it. This barely does anything to it, dealing only
2 damage as he falls back.
Yuki raises her shield and stands in front of Ian.
Both are now protected by Yuki’s shield, and half of all incoming damage to Ian will be deflected onto Yuki instead.Sandra cowers in fear!
Hikari aims carefully, taking a shot at the Vertex’s ‘face’! An arrow of light slams into the crystal directly, dealing a
critical hit! However, the damage seems to be
mitigated again, and Hikari only deals
20 damage to it.
Anna attempts to blast it with Ice Dust! However, the damage is
negated.
Garnt manages to avoid its attention, ducking down and managing to leap onto one of its orbs, jumping onto the back of the Libra Vertex to stab it! The area where the blade meets seems to
fizz slightly, and he deals
28 damage to the Vertex as he leaps away.
Motya
spits acid at the Vertex! While it
deals no damage, the orb of fire that comprises its body seems to
bubble at the blow, as the biobeast’s acidic secretions
reduce its defense by 6.
Chryssa slams Jaiko into the face of the Vertex twice, dealing
12 damage with the first strike and
10 damage with the second.
Big Daddy attempts to stab it with his drill. However, despite Motya’s having weakened it, his attack is still
negated.
Enemy Turn:The Vertex turns its terrible gaze upon Alanis, pausing as it detects threats to its health. Its crystal ‘eye’ flickers, blasting her with a searing light! It deals
20 damage and
burns her, dealing a further
3 damage!
It then turns on Chryssa, blasting her with several orbs of light and dealing
14 damage. She gets struck again with the same attack, dealing another
27 damage!
Turning to Garnt, it slams said orbs into him next, dealing
21 damage.
Finally, the crystal gazes upwards, before a shower of searing light pellets rains down upon the party!
Alanis takes
16 damage.
Chizuru takes
10 damage.
Ian and Yuki split the damage,
taking no damage from the attack.Sandra takes

Sachi’s voice comes on in their heads.
I-I can’t do much here, I’m afraid. J-Just warning you, t-try not to counter-attack this thing! I can sense something about its structure that’ll hit back if you do!
~Surgam Identidem (Walpurgisnacht Theme)~Trespasser:Player Turn:Sora launches herself at the Trespasser, attempting to wound it with her spear. However, with a flick of its tentacle, it smacks Sora back as it advances towards the Shinju tree, ignoring her attempt.
Mio attempts to follow up with a God Hand and a mighty roar, only for her own attack to be negated.
Even the powerful Embrace of the Primordial doesn’t seem to be bothering it much, either, and Her mortal form gets thrown back.
Lynch and Aesford watch it advance, trying to
Juke it, but it fails to have any effect.
Everyone’s attacks seem utterly useless against it as it advances inexorably towards the Shinju tree. Even Boxwood’s attempt to advise on it fails to glean anything whatsoever.
Mio calls on Sachi, sounding frantic in her mind..
Sachi, what’s going on? Why can’t we hurt it?I’m trying to d-detect its weakness, but I-I can’t seem to get anything on it! W-wait….WHAT?!Enemy Turn:The giant mass of shadowy tendrils wraps itself around the trunk of the Shinju, releasing a horrifying screech that shakes fear into even the ancient Primordial herself, as She recalls the oblivion that consumed Her own world, once, and tore Her into pieces.
It opens its mouth wide and clamps on deeply onto the bark with a sickening crunch.
The tree glows brightly, releasing the loudest, most shrill scream anyone had ever heard. It seems as if the souls of a multitude, a legion, a whole host of people are screaming in pain- sheer, agonising,
mortal pain.
Before everyone can move however, the area where the Trespasser is clamping around the trunk seems to release a burst of light, causing the devourer to screech in agony, as a part of the tendrils seems to shrivel away, revealing a pulsing yellow orb, dripping with some sort of iridescent fluid. It attempts to cover this newly revealed sack with more tendrils, but each tendril that attempts to cover it recoils, as if stung by some sort of invisible flame.
Sachi’s voice returns.
I-I think the….I think the Shinju just w-weakened it! T-try attacking it now! B-but….p-please, hurry! I don’t think you have much time left before t-they...t-they give in….”You have eight turns to kill the Trespasser before the Shinju fades and is devoured.
