Null 12

19:56] A faint scent of occult could be felt by the demon as the cloaked man approached the unsuspecting demon, "It's funny.. how you roam so stupidly with a care, demon.. though it's unfortunate for you as well, as today you picked a /very/ unfortunate time to leave the binds of your city... who might I be you ask? A fate of some kind.. I cannot reveal, unfortunately, though I can say, today will not be a pretty day for you.."

Ume's invisibility held, as a sudden explosion of occultic magic could be felt by Ra'Kamel, even if Ume was not a demon.. the power he possessed was staggering, the scent might even attract the demon as Ume closed in...

(Ume Ixis Kimyona)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:03] The demon idled looking towards the other side of Crafthold exploring the wilds that nobody seemed yet to take completely. As the demon looked around it saw no one, But felt a sudden explosive occultism that spewed outwards towards him. Hostile it seemed yet the demon merely looked towards its surroundings.

It could tell without even trying that it was a mortal man overcompensating to seem threating towards the demon. The Kaor merely glanced around the tree lines.

" Such impressive words for someone whos hiding in the pushes pretending to be a threat. " the demons metallic voice echoed outwards before igniting its own demonic power flooding the area in its own mana. Usually it wouldn't bother fighting in or around Crafthold but since they were obviously hostile the demon wouldn't mind. They were further off enough to avoid anyones gaze after all.

(Ra'Kamel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:06] Ume chuckled and patted Ra'Kamel's back, sending the demon on edge. "Trust me.. I'm not hiding for you, I'm simply waiting to attack.... when will that be? I assume somewhere around now..." Suddenly another explosion of occultic magic erupted the area, though now it was focusing on Ra'Kamel.. its heat was nauseating as Ume readied himself,

"I've not got much time now, let's go fair demon..."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:12] ** Ume Ixis Kimyona has inflicted an injury upon Ra'Kamel. ("Temporary Injury", "Temporary Injury", "Temporary", "Duration: Medium (4 days)") **
[20:21] Perseus arrives to the scene perhaps a little late; unfortunate or no, the undead looks upon the battle between the occultist and the demon with, at first, little more than curiosity -

but seeing the demon take an injuring blow tips him off that it's not something entirely friendly. Whether or not this is within Crafthold's bounds or not, the proximity...

Perseus takes to the sky, unsheathing his blade and expanding his aura outwards, wings oscillating as they beat against the air beneath them.

"Explain what is going on."
(Perseus Kang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:25] Ume would appear out of thin air as he pointed towards the demon "You call me a coward for not showing myself, but I call you a fool for not being wary enough to consider that someone like me could be around... "

The man was burning with utter hatred for the demon, and the demon could feel it shrouding the area around them "You feast on this shit? You like to strike fear into the hearts of those who follow a just path? Oh, well I'll give you a taste of what I have to offer, you damn freak..."

By the looks of it, the demon and Ume seemed almost fair in combat, Ume kept a steady head as he dodged his monstrous attacks, a deadly beam threatening to wipe the man off the face of Agartha, though Ume did everything in his being to push it back.

"You're strong demon, consider that the only damn compliment I'll give you." suddenly, Ume would rush towards the demon and slam his palm into his chest, an explosion of mana would mark Ra'Kamel's chest and send the fight to an end, Ume peered down at the demon, though his face was not proud, but portrayed with pure disgust.

Ume put his palm on Ra'Kamel's head.. a final blow to assassinate the demon, but suddenly Ume felt a presence, he'd peer at Perseus in his hood and kick off the demon.

"Consider this a warning for how this demon treats others, because I will have none of it."

Ume went to take his leave, not much could be said.. it didn't much do anything with Crafthold.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:31] Flames flickered and flared towards the demon, The Kaor summoned a wall of Demonic magics to protect against it. As the embers burned through its body pillars of flames rose and surrounded the demon trapping it within the bounds of its own space.

Utilizing gravitons the demon pushed away as much of the flames as it could but its metallic body was weakened by the magic. Although it could use its abilites to negate magic to mitigate the flames that barreled towards him.

As the creature focused on his defenses a palm thrust infused with flames would shatter them breaking and bending its metal body and leaving a burn pattered within the dent of his chest.

A roar of pain echoed throughout the jungle and then another slam onto his forehead sent the demon flying backwards into the cliff side. Anger and frustration oozed from the creature although it had been injured it hadn't been defeated.

Just as it stood back up to attack the man again in a fit of rage the presence colder and darker than the mortals appeared within the sky. Illuminating the already sunny day with a darker light. Temporary Nerfs:

" He hid in waiting stalking Crafthold's borders. While I coming here to cut trees... I had no choice but to defend myself the only people who would attack me within Crafthold is Huangzhou's putrid fools. This means nothing boy. The next time we cross paths ill have your head a spike. " The demons voice was clearly waning from its injuries but its fury did not die down a single bit.
(Ra'Kamel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:33] Ume flashed the air with his robe as Perseus looked towards Ra'Kamel, suddenly it was as if all trace of the man had left... everything just, gone.... no trace of his origin was left, only the uneducated guess of Ra'Kamel...
(Ume Ixis Kimyona)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:37] Conflict is almost always an unfortunate thing to see.

But as Ume disappears into the aether, likely gone before a pursuit could even happen, the undead is left only with documentation and administration. He sighs, allowing his wings to recede back into his aura as he descends, sheathing his blade as he approaches Ra'Kamel.

"Do you need treatment? Did you know that man? Unfortunately, a description is less than easy with the hood, and the coat.

If you have any information, however, he could be apprehended. While I do not understand the context, I consider this place within Crafthold's bounds."

Simply business.
(Perseus Kang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:43] The demon rose up holding its chests looking towards the Undead still seething with anger for its defeat. It didn't quite know anything but the context was there.

" He attacked me while I was cutting wood the sensation of hostile occult magic is something I know well. After all I didn't expect to be attacked within this territory. It was my own mistake for letting my guard down... " the demon growled confused and annoyed. As he removed his hand from its chests the words 'CRIMINAL' where branded dead center.

The demon peered down at the words recognizing them from the guardian's face." It must be one of those angelic guardians or Huangzhou's people. He is one of those fakers in Huangzhou that use Demonic Flame magic for their righteous goals. He spoke as if he was getting revenge for someone but I don't have much to describe him beyond that." The demon was clearly beaten and a little intense due to the situation but it directed no hostilities towards the Kang.

Most of its anger lied within itself and the man who did this." It only goes to show that those people will do whatever it takes to eliminate me and my Kin. Had I been any weaker or you come any later it would've ended worse. Grrr…."
(Ra'Kamel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:46] "Then all male shadowflame magi from Huangzhou are to be detained for questioning. Simple. I will inform Eiphraem."

A shrug. Simply done. He retrieves his transceiver, speaking aloud,

"Hello, Eiphraem. The demon Ra'Kamel was just ambushed by a male shadowflame magi from Huangzhou at the boundary of our territory, in the woods just northeast of the swamp cliffs. We should detain any who are spotted, for questioning. If you happen to meet any in Huangzhou… they may well be breaking our laws. Thanks."
(Perseus Kang)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:50] The demon didn't know what to expect from now he but his rage wouldn't be quelled with just this. If Huangzhou had targeted him he would target them. Even if these creatures held great logic and rationality there were times when that would be thrown out the window instantly. Yet still with a calming breath it tended to the wound it had acquired, purplish blood now starting to ooze and poor from its body.

" Grr...I didn't want to be a burden towards you but you have my Gratitude. Huangzhou's people are more and more showing that their will be no way to resolve this through peace...Although I'm sure you will continue I cannot claim I will be." As he kept bleeding he'd limb sluggishly back towards Crafthold.

He had unfinished business to attend to and he needed time to gain the strength necessary to kill as many of them as he could.
(Ra'Kamel)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:51] Perseus Kang says, "So, for the record - given his words, there does seem to be some reason for the assault."
[20:51] Perseus Kang asks, "Have you been involved in hostilities against Huangzhou?"
[20:52] Perseus Kang says, "Any information could assist in figuring out who might have struck, after all."
[20:52] Ra'Kamel says, "I've been attacked by many of their people during my explorations. i defended myself each time but I haven't attacked Huangzhou directly."
[20:53] Perseus Kang says, "Hmm. All right."
[20:53] Ra'Kamel says, "Not yet at least I'll be on the front lines in their next battle for sure now."
[20:54] Perseus Kang says, "That is not my business."
[20:54] Perseus Kang says, "Thank you for answering my questions."
[20:54] Perseus Kang says, "I will return to Crafthold now."
[20:54] Ra'Kamel says, "Right..I need to see about this wound.."
