Harvested

Yulia hurriedly learns Lightning Strike and places the ring on. Upon placing on the ring she feels a sense of serenity and calm. Goma sounds the horn as at the same time whatever spell the Harvester was readying goes off, Yulia feels a sudden tug on her mind, but the serenity quickly replaces it and she sees the Harvester give an annoyed glance at her. Isalia puts on the boar mask and charges as Yulia hits Cherchiel and Boarsalia with Energize, The Harvester grins excitedly, "ooh Like Minds!" she says as she casts Energize on herself just in time to catch Isalia's sword in her gauntleted hand. The power of the Energized, horn inspired Boarsalia is still too much and she's quickly pushed back until she also hits Boarsalia with an Undermine.

Now overpowering her she roughly yanks the sword aside and slams one of her clawed gauntlets towards Boarsalia's chest, but Boarsalia, barely manages to block with her shield instead merely losing her grip on her sword and being knocked onto the ground. Yulia tries to cast Undermine on The Harvester, but it bounces back and Yulia gasps as she feels her own spell weakening her causing her to fall to her knees. The Harvester casts another spell on herself that surrounds her in a glowing pink light as she moves forward and stomps on Boarsalia, pinning her down. "This is fun, but oh we're going to have so much more fun later," she says tauntingly.

"Ee Sah Lee Ah! Shield Up!" Goma yells and Boarsalia immediately does as requested, lifting her shield to cover herself as best she can as the Harvester glances at Goma just in time to see Goma fire the grenade launcher. The fired grenade hits the shield and bounces directly into the Harvester's chest before exploding. The **** wrenches Boarsalia's arm, but the shield protects her from most of the shrapnel, while the Harvester gets most of it. The glowing light seems to protect her, flashing each time shrapnel hits it, but it doesn't seem able to last forever and it shatters like glass, the remaining shrapnel stabbing into the Harvester's flesh making her let out a screech of pain.

This doesn't end the fight though, it appears to have just made her mad. Her playful attitude gone. She swings a hand towards Goma and fires an Icicle that slams into Goma's gut knocking Goma onto her ass before she slams her hand down, grabbing Boarsalia by the throat and beginning to drain the life out of her.

Cherchiel rushes in to try and stop her, stabbing at her with the bone spear, the Harvester tries to dismissively bat the spear aside, but misjudges Cherchiel's speed and the bone tip of the spear stabs directly into the Harvester's right breast, stabbing into the soft flesh and making her eyes open wide. The **** of the stab snaps the pole of the spear and the spear head remains lodged in her breast as she raises a hand to cast a spell at the now defenseless Cherchiel, but at that moment Yulia makes a lucky shot, throwing a silver throwing knife and landing it directly in the Harvester's skull. The Harvester stands perfectly still then stumbles back a bit.

"Y... You're all so mean... I just wanted to play..." she mutters and then falls backwards, vanishing before she hit the ground. Where she fell instead is now a vial of semen, that can now be reasonably assumed to not in fact be the semen of the floor monsters themselves, it's actual source probably best left unknown. Aside from the vial there is also a headband with a pair of demon horns attached and her clawed gauntlets.

Alide quietly reappears as Yulia quickly checks on Goma and finds that Goma is stunned, but okay, then both go to check on Boarsalia and Yulia casts heal on her to fix her injuries. She removes the boar mask as Cherchiel moves over to them. Yulia casts repair on the bone spear, but the head of the spear disappeared with the body of the Harvester and so repair only fixes the splintered end turning the spear into a simple staff.

There's a moment of silence after the fight then Yulia speaks, "we won?" she says and there's a gentle sense of relaxation as they all realize they won and can relax now. Alide claps and Yulia realizes she's back.

"Well done," she says and Yulia nods and approaches her again, "since you never left the room, we can continue negotiations for the moment if you wish, obviously you can't get anything else since you already got the book, but anything else you want, such as healing or the like, I'm still here for," she offers.
