Chapter 121: The Assault

The Children took their positions as the Devil of the Sea tried to reach out for them, with Harvard leading their counterattack with chains, surrounding the beast's arm and tying it around its arm. The Nuckelavee would take notice and try to absorb the very chains, yet Harvard would take another card, casting a second spell through the chains, chilling the arm and freezing the chains within the beast, the ice quickly piercing at its skin. With a secured position, Harvard would drag the chain forward, signaling everyone to give space as he approached the beast, sliding across the ground and around it to ensnare the monster, using the tree trunks as footing to spin himself and bind the monster down. Because of such a position, the Monster's other arm would be bound close to its body, forcing the Nuckelavee to dislodge its muscles and absorb the arm inside itself, letting it breach through with an open space around its stomach. Harvard knew what style of magic this was, and so signaled Solomon to intervene, creating a barrier around the appendage to prevent it from escaping further, the lights dancing among themselves as they sealed its arm. The Nuckelavee tries again, yet the other children made their attempt to jump such a creature before it even has the chance. It wailed loudly to try and rupture their ears, yet it proved futile.

Solomon would be up first, enhancing his strength with Might of Samson, punching and kicking the beast's stomach and chest, while also using a separate spell to infect the Nuckelavee with boils amidst the muscles. Each boil froze over and caused further rupturing amidst its meaty flesh, creating more boils through the ice, causing the monster to howl and scream in pain. Stolas would be up next, maneuvering to Harvard's position and taking aim for the visible spinal chord, creating the constellations of Orion and Gemini to swarm him. A Constellation that creates three people, the bodies delivered their blows in the same manner as a boxer: Uppercuts to try and split the spine down the middle, Hooks and straights to snap and crack whatever is exposed, as well as trying to rip the spine out from its body. Zazel would be the last one up to jump the monster, with the Demon casting the sigil of Asmodeus to light his head ablaze, attempting to burn its eyes off and dig straight for its skull, hoping to cremate it. Such pain was abundant, yet all of them were organized enough to structure such torture, setting it up in a way where it can feel every strike possible, with no chance to reprieve. As The trio delivered their final strike, Harvard would use the chains to spin him around and smack him across the hefty bark, before crashing it within the building, watching as one of the walls came down to crush its body. The children would take a moment to breathe, looking at each other in surprise, somewhat amazed they were able to be in sync throughout the assault they left.

However...

KA-BOOM!!

A Large detonation was made from the Nuckelavee's location, dust and dirt expelled everywhere, causing the children to stand back and block themselves from such debris. When the dust settled, the children could see the beast being somehow alive, yet in agonizing pain. Once more, it howled and wailed, with the sounds screaming in unison, getting closer by the minute, dislodging its limbs back into their proper place, as well as trying to stand up despite the boils it attained. "Ok, THAT Should've killed him. There's no way it survived that..." Solomon would state, with Harvard still using the chain to try and ensnare the monster, surrounding its neck and choking the life out of the beast, as such a monster would flail around and try to use its arms to swat the child away or to grab the chain and break it with the forest around it.

"High pain Tolerance, Maybe?" Stolas would question, quickly smelling smoke and realizing the jump they did accidentally started a fire that is spreading out.

"HOW!? WHAT KIND OF PAIN TOLERANCE DOES ONE HAVE TO LIVE THAT!?" 

"You're asking this to someone who doesn't know what it even IS!" Their conversation would be halted as Harvard slammed the monster within a tree, using the branches as leverage to hang such a creature atop a burning fire, its choking sounds being more recognizable as it tries to rip the chains out from the body. Stolas and Solomon both quickly noticed that something was passing through the chains, entering within Harvard's body, yet it doesn't seem to be harming the boy in the slightest.

"OI! Quit talking over there and help me kill this thing!! We're not gonna beat it if we stand still, right?" Harvard would yell, struggling to maintain his grip, almost slipping it. Zazel would try to help out in pulling the chains up high, leaving the beast to almost be stranded up, the chains now sinking within its neck. Solomon and Stolas, meanwhile, look amongst one another and nodded, recognizing what must be done. They'd approach the monster, loosening up their shoulders, staring down at the creature, as they'd decide to double their strength output. Stolas would make a staircase out of stars to make the duo evade the burning fire, as well as surrounding the two of them in such nebulas to have the damage explode further on impact. Solomon provided further buffs by usage of Might of Samson and inflicting a spell amidst the entire area, quickly hastening one's personality. Such a spell is usually casted as a debuff, inflicting them with the many sins Man can take in, However, Solomon augmented it in a different manner.

Wrath.

The Chains grew tighter, the Nuckelavee grew more violent, slamming its claws at the children in a feral, visceral attempt to harm them, yet both children grappled its forearm, their other arm wound up and ready to strike. With the Strength given by God, and the Wrathful intent by the Devil himself, The children held one look upon their eyes. A Look that the Devil of the Sea recognized instantly, gritting its non-existent teeth as it prepares for such a beatdown.

Judgement Day has came for the likes of the monster, and the two unleashed everything they could at the beast. Senseless. Violent. Yet at the same time...

Cathartic.
