The Manager Rematch

The Manager continues to Smile at Yulia as the veil and fishbowl appear on her. Its screens shift showing a number of images. The images being Cherchiel, Isalia and Lemiel getting abused by the Manager after the loss against it previously. Yulia scowls and Cherchiel, Lemiel and Isalia behind the wall wince at the memories.

"You sure you want to try and upset me? I'm already going to destroy you, all you're doing is making it more likely it will hurt," Yulia responds and Maple yells out.

"It's a machine, Yulia! It doesn't feel pain either way!" she clarifies and Yulia glances back at her and then back at the Manager and sighs.

"Oh right... Well regardless..." Yulia says, deflated. The Manager has gone back to its smiling face mode and Yulia glares at it. "Threatening it isn't conducive so I suppose we just skip to the part where I destroy it!" she says and casts blizzard.

It responds immediately by trying to shoot a stun shot at her which is turned away by the Cloak and then she turns invisible with the veil as an illusion Yulia runs off to act as a distraction. It fires at the Illusion Yulia as Yulia moves away and prepares to cast Mass Undermine. The Manager spots that its stun shots are hitting and going through the Illusion Yulia and turns it's attention away, recognizing it as an Illusion. A loud whirring sound starts as it summons the Staff to help deal with the hidden threat. Yulia unveils as she hits the Staff and The Manager with Mass Undermine as she draws out the plasma rifle and an EMP Grenade. The Staff rush towards her and she hits them with the EMP grenade before hitting the Manager with the rifle. The rifle destroys the screen facing her and the Manager screeches and tries to fire Stasis Gel at her, but it again misses.

It knows that a ranged attack is impossible and starts trying to move towards her as she backs away firing at the Manager with the Plasma Rifle while also hitting it with **** Lance, Fireball and Icicle to slow it's advance. The blizzard also helps slow it and pelt it with golf ball sized chunks of ice that crack it's other screens. It struggles to reach her and steady streams of EMP grenades keep the Staff at bay as well. Out of desperation it detaches from the rail system landing on it's hands to leap at her lashing out with it's stun lashers, but Yulia seems to suddenly disappear and it lands where she was and where now a large pile of EMP grenades sit. They explode and it makes a sound like a horrific electronic screech before crashing to the ground. Yulia unveils a short distance further away from the Illusion of her that had existed.

The veil, the fishbowl and teleportation via Open Sesame is an unsurprisingly useful combination letting Yulia create an instant path to a further spot and then quickly cast an illusion and activate the veil to hide her retreat.

She watches the Manager twitch and spark as it shuts down. The Staff collapse to the ground as well all around the area and then they and the Manager itself vanish.

"This is supposed to be a test of my growth and given everything... I think it's definitely proven that I've grown. All that's left is the Rack? I'm not worried..." Yulia says, feeling confident.

"I should say I'm wary of using the Prism Staff... I can't easily heal myself and I'm worried I won't be able to use a potion with my hands torn to shreds..." she admits as the lights turn back on and she sees the Rack appear. Turning her attention to it.

"The Rack as the final opponent of The Tower... Almost feels like an Anti-climax," she admits.
