Chapter 1693 Time for More Trvis!
--- Kat ---
Kat didn't get a chance to hold him for long, the thrashing was violent enough that Kat, even with a light grip, felt the thing's bones shattering and soon it started to spasm and twitch before vanishing from her arms. "What's the issue Meg!" hissed Kat as the looked at the reforming problem, already two indistinct fuzzy shapes.
"That! That is the problem! They're so full of weaknesses that it's like having an encyclopedia shoved right into my brain the moment I look at them. It's not a problem of finding a weakness it's finding which one can actually kill them!" retorted Meg.
Kat was about to ask a follow up question when the thick stone Pebbles had used to keep the others trapped was sliced into from multiple directions and four Trvis climbed out, with another two likely on the way... even as the two on the surface reformed. "I'LL GET YOU!" they shouted, more like a bad recording now then anything else.
Everyone had to react to contain them. Pebble's learning from his mistake last time raised four walls to block the Trvis in, missing the ones nearest to Kat and Lily as he didn't want to also capture the demons. Once in place, Pebbles got to work adding extra earthen layers while focusing on durability for each of them. This also blocked most of the groups view, allowing Ronldo to try disappearing from the scene... causing Hunter to follow him just in case. She might not have been as emotional as Kat about it, but Ronldo had crossed a line.
Kat really wasn't sure what to do with the idiots... idiot? With the two Trvis still trying to attack her. Kat instituted her best idea and transformed into her water form, enveloping the two monstrous figures and hoping for the best. She could feel them swiping their claws through the water she currently possessed and removing it from existence as they did so. Not great, but Kat had the demonic energy to deal with it for now.
Seeing this, Lily took the chance to ask, "So Meg what do we do?"
"Look I love that you're coming to me for answers but I really don't know!" Meg hissed in response.
"Yes, yes, encyclopedia I get it but WHY is it happening?!" asked Lily.
Meg swiftly retracted her demonic power, slamming down on that bit of fire and removing it but the damage was already done and they were up to somewhere around twenty visible Trvis. "Ok... definitely don't use demonic fire," muttered Meg.
*You don't say!* grumbled Kat mentally as she looked over at the screaming horde. "I'LL GET YOU" ringing out from over a dozen different mouths. Kat really didn't know what to do about these things. Killing them made more. Dodging them just made them kill each other. Pebbles' wall was holding for the moment but if they were dying while inside it was really just delaying the problem...
Which wasn't even getting into the issues with all of the other people nearby. Sure they'd left the area but the Trvis here would quickly multiply and expanding. Kat refused to believe there could truly be an infinite number... but enough to fill up the town and slaughter everyone? That was scarily possible.
Pebbles had reached the same conclusion and was already working on summoning up more earthen walls, visible sweating though of course hidden from sight by the first set. He was actively trying to contain everything... though how successful he would be in the long run remained to be seen. Pebbles had raised the walls towards the edge of his range, at least for summoning new material anyway. He could only hope everyone had obeyed his orders and left the area beforehand.
Kat decided to do a bit of her own testing. When the next Trvis lunged at her she ripped the crystal from its chest and waited to see what happened. This did require dodging a few other Trvis and for a moment it seemed like she'd worked out a good solution... only for the body she'd stolen the crystal from to shatter into two and then, as expected reform into more of the dickhead. "I'LL GET YOU" shouted the new copies.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you'll try," grumbled Kat as she tried to work out how to slow things down. Meg had picked a blanket out of the storage ring and tried wrapping one of them up in it, but the issue seemed to be the wings. When trying to wrap a Trvis up like that the wings were able to tear their way out... somehow? Kat didn't understand how that made any sense at all and Meg clearly didn't either.
*Alright... so I surround one in water... it drowns. I dodge, they slice each other. Blankets and restraints don't seem to work. Demonic fire is very much the wrong answer, and the crystal being removed is less helpful then you'd think. The stone walls still seem to be our best bet for now at least... the problem is that it might not be fixing things?*
Kat decided to fly up and find out, launching off the ground she looked down into the stone box... and was not happy with what she saw. There was a large pile of Trvis that were slashing into each other. The ones at the start of the line would attack the wall, the ones behind that would attack the ones at the wall to GET to the wall, and it just continued back like that. Soon the bodies would fill the entire thing.
*So stone walls are NOT the answer...*
