Luna cleared the fissure across Hozumi’s sixth rice terrace in a streak of lightning and drove her Stormblade into the Templebreaker Sovereign’s nearest knee.
The blade sank through the joint. Before she could pull it free, fresh rock climbed over the wound and clamped around her sword.
"Oh, screw off!"
Luna dismissed her Stormblade as a hooked forelimb swept toward her. She dissolved into lightning, flashed beneath the strike, and reappeared beside the leg with another sword in her grip.
Above her, the Sovereign’s armored back blotted out the gate. All three mouths opened toward Luna as she sliced into its knee.
"GGRRRAAAAAAAAAAKH!!"
Its roar blasted water across the terrace, and the Ninth Garrison locked their battered shields behind Kaiden.
"Citadel formation!" their captain shouted. "Watch the vents!"
Kaiden shifted into Lust and fed warmth through all six bonds. Luna’s slash arrived faster, biting deeper, while Calypso’s axe howled in her grip.
"Darling, ready?" the demoness called, running toward the hooks guarding its mouths.
"Naturally."
The Sovereign lunged after Luna, and Calypso caught its lowest hook on the haft of her axe. The collision slammed her boots through the paddy’s mud into the rock beneath.
"Ngh! Heavy bastard! I’m having flashbacks to a certain good boy!"
On the other side of the world, Pebble sneezed.
Kaiden ducked beneath the hook Calypso held and buried his greatsword in the joint behind it. He leaned his weight onto the blade, sawing through the tendons while Lust kept pouring strength into the demoness beside him.
Calypso gave ground under its weight, then twisted with the charge and hauled the hooked arm sideways. Nyx folded the space beneath its leading feet to carry the stumble farther.
The boss stumbled past Luna, exposing its underside to Bastet.
The felinid faced it from beyond the melee, her gold-threaded veils lifting in the heat gathering around her. Sunlight blazed over her bare waist as she extended a palm toward the creature’s belly.
"How generous of you."
Bastet’s solar fire struck beneath its ribs. Armor flashed orange, then white, and burst as molten rock while the paddy beneath it erupted in a column of steam.
The Sovereign’s legs buckled. Its three mouths plowed into the flooded terrace hard enough to throw a wave over the retaining wall.
"There we go~" Calypso purred, delighted, her tail curling behind her.
A spearman wiped the spray from his eyes and stared at the buried legs.
"She tripped it. Captain, she tripped that thing!"
"I can see, damn it! Left leg, with me!"
The captain led his spears around its flank while the boss fought to lift itself. Luna had returned to the damaged knee.
"Aria! This one’s open!"
Luna sprang aside as Aria sent a silver lance through the cut. Moonlight punched out the far side of the joint, carrying a fist of black meat with it.
"Life is always easier when an electric gremlin screeches at my enemy~"
"You’re welcome!" Luna screeched.
The Sovereign wrenched a forelimb loose and raked its hook across Calypso’s upper arm. Blood splashed down her red skin, and Carnage sent smoke boiling from the wound.
She snagged the retreating limb under her axe head and yanked it toward her.
"Where are you going? We’re still playing!"
"Its back!" the Ninth’s captain warned. "The vents are turning!"
Kaiden looked up from the forelimb he was attacking. Above the Sovereign’s mouths, the crown rotated until its vents pointed downhill toward Aria and Bastet.
Rock streamed up from the paddy into those hollow channels. Slabs packed inside them, and light swelled behind the ammunition with a rising, teeth-rattling whine.
"Alexandra, can you cover the openings?"
The shrapnel ripped through the Sovereign’s back. A vent snapped off at the root and tumbled past Calypso, who ducked behind the hooked arm she was wrestling.
