This Kazu was an interesting person to say the least. It seemed that his actual profession was illusionist. He was quite competent in his field; as evidenced by the fact that he was able to deceive even her truesight, and the condition of the rest of the group; and he actually looked pretty good if that was his true form. Had she met him under different circumstances and if he had just talked to her normally without using charm magic as his first resort, Mona may have actually considered him as a potential partner.
Mona considered her situation again. This Kazu person thought to mess with her ability to cast magic. She would resist the illusionary block with her Mental Fortitude ability in the hopes of being able to cast magic again by the next 'turn', For now though, not all of her tricks required spellcraft.
Mona drew two of her shadow knives and glanced at the location where Kazu wanted her to think that he was. She would then throw the two knives... But not at Kazu. Her targets were Advisor Hope and (Unknown); some of the more useful members of her party. The knives wouldn't cut far into Hope's armor or Unknown's stone body, but the psychic trauma from the knives would almost surely snap them out of their stupor...
And IF the magic in question required Kazu to continually channel the illusion spell to project his will, he could be struck by psionic backlash through the connection with the victims no matter how well he hid himself with his illusions!
"What!? The marriage is a sham!? N-No!..." Aethyrion witnesses the pieces of the dream world slowly crumbling before him. "But they looked like a good couple!... ARGH how dare they exploit the sanctity of marriage to facilitate their deception!"
Aethyrion rushes onto the stage and grabs the groom by the collar. "YOU! Are you the one conducting this masquerade!?"
while Joey uses endless bone growth to grow his arm back, Joey jumps up to the front of the party and uses Hellfire Cannon on Kazu as the target
(sorry supernerd you might die)
The scene where both simultaneously happened at the same time. This time the following scene takes place:Mona use her psychic knife to wake hope and unknown from kazu's illusion. Due to the amount of weight that kazu put in mona's head right now. She threw the dagger to wake both of them up in her attempt. But the headache induced illusion grew stronger and put her in an immobile state. Hope and unknown felt a sudden jolt in their muscle and into their brain. They woke up but not entirely aware of what is going on. They are shaking their head in confusion. They are still in shock after the trauma so they are unlikely to move for the time being. As aethyrion then sprint towards the direction of mona barrows. He then violently grabbed kazu's collar. It seems that the rest of the group starting to wake up. Kazu and soldier let them do so while still keeping an eye of joey's dath beam that he kept charging between his mouth.
Kazu don't mind it though he told the soldier that he's amused by this. The fact that one of tuhan believer that is able to resist his ability. Aethyrion grabbed him by the collar and said all those things. He then said this to aethyrion.
"Hmmph, impressive, i didn't think one of solaph's soldier is capable of resisting my spell. But as you see its too late, mona and i will marry and it is final."
Kazu and the soldier was taking their time of dialoguing when they then realized a sudden energy that gathered into one spot had suddenly grew stronger. Joey was charging up his attack. Joey decided that it's the best time to fire the laser towards kazu, mona, aethyrion, and soldier's direction. Unfortunately mona was still struck from the damage kazu had inflicted to her mind with his illusion attack and aethyrion wasn't able to fully become aware due to his lack of sleeping training, he's still sleep walking to grab kazu but his senses is reduced. Aethryion wasnt aware that joey is charging his attack. Kazu and the soldier however aware of this and are prepared for what's about to happen next.
Hope and unknown was almost awake at this point as he sees a cloaked skeleton charging his hellish hellfire cannon. Joey finally fired his attack. The ground erupted with earthquake as the cannon projectile with immense amount of speed. The two was aware of this and due to the fact that joey had to charge up his attack made them aware of which direction joey had aimed. The soldier leapt to the side completely avoiding it. Kazu's situation was a bit special as he panicked during the cannon firing and pushed aethyrion who is grabbing his collar to the side. Kazu then teleports away to the corner of the room. Aethyrion and mona has to worst fate as they were the one who weren't able to avoid the death laser fired from joey bones. Their entire body was decimated until all there is left was their foot.
Mona and Aethryion is dead.Hope and unknown witnessed what happened to the two of them in shock. After regaining their composure, the soldier and kazu both stood up after dodging the laser while the chimera that was caught in the laser attack died. The soldier transformed to his chimera form without any pause and jump towards joey and hammer his head into the ground until it created a shock wave big enough that it create a crater. Joey's body was decimated but every party member who are still asleep woke up from the illusion. hope and unknown was still shook with what happened.
Joey bones is dead but his bones is scattered around the room. You can put it back together to revive him at the end of the combatKazu was planning to use his chimeras for an experiment but then he started to have a breakdown after seeing mona splattered into nothing but blood puddle. He then screamed at the soldier.
"Faith... THIS ISNT PART OF THE DEAL! IM NOT DOING THIS. IM NOT HERE TO KILL THEM!"
"Pathetic, you're forfeiting after all of this?"
"MY JOB WASN'T TO KILL BUT TO GATHER DATA.... She.. i loved her.. and she's dead now... Its just like you said.. the solaph kingdom, the people... they are corrupted enough to kill their own comrades just to kill us... this is madness.."
"I know, and its our job to exterminate them from this world."
"Not like this... I can't deal with this.. i'm sorry but i'll head back to base right now." Kazu cried as he opens up a portal and left faith with the chimeras against hope's party. He looked back at mona's corpse and then he said. "I'm sorry.." and proceed to jump into the portal and left the fort entirely.
