Amethyst moved through the house, looking all around, thinking about her opponents.
She was still in a state of confusion, with everyone having been plucked from their worlds at once, it seems some had taken to the idea of simply killing each other far too easily. She sighed. Perhaps it would be best to simply go along with the tournament, in which case the strategy of the allying with the weakest combatants so as to be able to easily win the final rounds would work. But still, she didn't like the idea.
She turned into the bedroom, seeing the colossal plant monster, on top of it was the Necromancer. Even if she were to attempt an escape, this individual would make that impossible. No matter what, it was vital.
The same black icicles from before circled her. "Set Influence Type to Heat" she muttered. More of the intricate magical circles surrounded her wrist. The icicles stopped in a formation, turned to face the plant monster, and fired. The creature howled in pain falling backwards, forcing Lutherion onto the ground. Amethyst casually stepped in, turning to Emily.
"Regardless of the ultimate objective, it would be to our benefit to eliminate this Necromancer as soon as is possible. Will you assist me for the time?"
Emily still wasn't sure, something was definitely off about this girl. But she was right, Lutherion was clearly the biggest threat, and would be willing to kill everyone around him regardless of the situation. Besides, his singing was really bad. She nodded slowly.
"Then surround the beast with a cylindrical barrier."
As she said this, the icicles began to circle around the monster, as though to mark the borders she had intended. Emily complied, and a pillar of light surrounded the plant monsters. The icicles remained inside the barrier, beginning to glow red themselves.
But Lutherion was not about to simply let his pet be destroyed. His Weightmaw Arm extended, grabbing Amethyst by the legs, holding her upside down.
"Just what's the big idea sweety, tryin' to beat up my poor pet? He's just a baby yaknow! *cackle cackle*"
Amethyst's eyes remained frozen.
"Increase base area temperature. Type: Uncontained. Devote all resources to heat increase."
As she said this, her own body began to go limp, but the icicles inside the barrier began to glow brighter. The plant monster itself looked to be in pain. Suddenly, the entire area inside the barrier erupted into a great spiral of flames. The beast turned black, and disintegrated into ashes, along with the floor around the barrier.
And just like that, having burned up everything inside the shield, the flames vanished. Emily gasped for air, and released the barrier. Just what kind of a spell was that? Without Emily's magic the entire house would likely be on fire by now.
Lutherion backed away, releasing his grasp on Amethyst, who fell to the ground.
"H-hey! What the hell was that?!"
"Restore default functionality."
Words said without emotion, Amethyst simply stood back up. The icicles returned to orbiting her.
"Set Influence Type: Electromagnetic"
The icicles flew into an alternate formation, they grouped into pairs, and pointed themselves at Lutherion.
"Animated plantlife is not a particularly uncommon summon type. It is common knowledge that it possesses a type disadvantage against temperature-based attacks. In the future, I would recommend familiars with a less-extreme elemental alignment."
