"It really is a pity..."
Amethyst said aloud again, speaking to no one in particular. She herself was simply standing a distance from the battlefield. Though her black crystals circled Lutherion, she herself barely looked in that direction. The crystals had a number of self-preservation functions built into them, so they easily evaded Lutherion's attacks, and from time to time launched a lightning bolt of their own.
"It seems more and more the truth that no escape exists beyond the death of all but one of the 'contestants...'"
She paused for awhile, before deciding to walk towards Emily. The fierce battle overhead made a peculiar contrast to the emotionless veil Amethyst wore. She sat down.
"I feel I should inform you of my previous deceit..."
She began. Emily didn't seem to respond, perhaps concentrating on her own healing, or perhaps simply not wanting to interrupt. Amethyst continued.
"You queried earlier... if I was a demon...
It's an old habit I have. If I am unsure of a response, I answer simply, rather than to bother explaining my uncertainty..."
She sighed
"Am I demon? I sold my humanity for power... but they..."
She paused again.
"I am sorry. I should be protecting Nathan like you asked."
She stood up, facing the Festering Behemoth again, and began reciting an incantation, fast and under her breath. As she did an ornate ring formed around the ground before her, and raised up- pulling rings of earth with them.
Five rings arranged into a cylindrical formation, one small on each end, and one of the same size in the middle. Two larger rings between the others. Stands of light connected the rings, and formed a barrel.
"Preparations complete. Barrel locked. Hyper Bolt, FIRE!"
A rainbow colored aura filled the barrel, surging with electricity. The aura became a great lightning bolt, and flattened out into a solid beam, striking straight towards the Behemoth.
Lutherion reacted quickly, thrusting its right arm towards the blast. The bones all throughout it shifted, lending their density towards the single hand. Steadily, the Behemoth blocked the blast-
A great white locus tore through the sky, and the demon lord's knife sliced cleanly down the beast's right shoulder. With nothing left to anchor it, the arm was forced backwards straight into Lutherion, blasting a hole through the monster's stomach. The Festering Behemoth kneeled, it wasn't finished yet, but it was about to fall...
On the ground, the stone rings fell harmlessly to the ground, as-did Amethyst herself. Her eyes grew heavy, that's right, it wasn't unknown for a Heavy Destruction spell to cause the caster to faint. It'd never happened to her before, but--
She didn't finish that thought, as she fell to the ground, sleeping strangely peacefully.
