The Psychotic laughter echoed again, this time not through Grey's mind but around the entire two hundred foot radial battlefeild. From the female figure floating in the center of the crater, there was a sudden burst of energy. Heavy magic pressure filled the air as the ground in front of Grey suddenly lit up with a green energy.

After a very minimal delay a very large spike of the green crystal shot up out of the ground twoards him, taking some of the shadows out with it, shredding them into black smoke. The Shadows that Grey hit turned into black smoke as well.

Not even pausing to see the results of the damage he caused to the shadows he did a roll to the right side. As he came up to his knees he swung the blade outward to destroy more of these shadows. Grey was not really feeling threatened, mostly annoyed and very curious as to the identity of the taunting female. Grey stood up from his kneeling position and took off at a run towards the center of the gem covered landscape, his lips no longer in a snarl, in fact he had a contemplating loo on his face.

As Grey dashed forward, the ground would light up green in front of him again before another spike shot out. It seemed that the Spikes were jutting out directly in front of him no matter what his position was. There also seemed to be no end to the shadows, Wich now seemed to be climbing out of the Crater.

Another Magic pulse came from the female figure and once again the heavy magic pressure filled the air. This time however there was a green light that wrapped around the female figure and burst forward into the air. After another brief delay, Crystal spikes would rain down from the sky like a massive volley of arrows, straight down on grey's location

Grey stopped his running and threw himself backwards to land on his back and narrowly avoid being. impaled.not that such a wound would hurt him, but he wanted to remain mobile. As he landed on his back he was able to spot the descending spikes, his eyes widening at the sight.

Knowing that he could do little against the oncoming rain of gems, Grey held the flat of his blade over his head and aligning it with his unprotected chest. Hopefully, if all goes as planned then he would take minimal damage from the gem shards, his jacket having a thin underlay of saronite should be enough to lessen the blows.

The soul reaper not knowing who's completely behind all of this yet released his zampuckto by saying "all things die and turn to dust tombsegetsu" after he said that his zampuckto changed into a sword with a scythe at the end of it he then flash stepped again but this time blocking the spikes he then said "tombsegtsa" as he slashed at the air and a huge energy wave was blasted to help block the other spikes ,

"I don't know who's behind all of this but I won't stand by and watch someone be killed by this thing" he says standing beside grey

The Psychotic laughter echoed through the battlefield once more before there was yet another burst of Magical Energy and the feeling of heavy Magical Pressure. It was obvious that they had to get closer to prevent the female from casting any more spells. However it seemed like this female didn't have to wait very long between casting.

As the pressure hung in the air, there was a large ring of green light which appeared around the female figure. It quickly shrunk in size at chest level of the female. Almost instantly after it had collapsed in on itself there was a flash of green and a large beam of green light streaked towards their position.

Deciding that he had allowed the female to toy with him long enough. He stabbed his blade downwards into the crystal covered ground for a total of five seconds. In that five seconds the crystal around the blade went clear, then Grey, then pitch black. The black began to spread throughout the crystals, heading toward the females position. Meanwhile Grey would remove his blade from the crystal and speak two words to it. The runes along the blade flashed grey, and a soft Grey light began to emanate from the blade. Anyone with the ability to see magic would view the blade as a endless void, magic constantly being drawn in and devoured to fuel itself.

The Female laughter echoed again as the beam ceased. There was not another pulse of energy from the figure, however the figure descended into the crater. There was a great rumbling from the crater, before a massive skeletal claw burst forth from the crater. The massive claw slammed onto the ground, causing the ground to shock wave out, destroying a very large number of shadows and sending large rocks raining down.

Then from the crater, a massive skeletal beast rose slowly. It's head resembled a triceratops with a massive amount of razor sharp teeth. It rose to it's full size, around fifty feet tall, and that was only it's top half. With one motion it reared forward and roared, a hollow unearthly roar

(Undead... Freaking... Dinosaur... *Put on aviators * Mother of God...)
Grey merely looked at the Skeletal dinosaur in disbelief before gathering his thoughts and charging towards it, not even feeling aggressive, only curious as to the identity of the woman and the source of her power. He even went so far as to sheath his blade as he ran toward her, knowing full well that he had no idea what her intention was, or if sheathing the blade would even make him appear to be less deadly.

The Skeletal beast stood up straight as grey charged forward. It roared again, only this tim it seemed to be inhaling as all of the shadows in the area were suddenly pulled into it's mouth. The shadows melded together in it's hollow jaws to form a black sphere. It's massive jaws chomped down onto the sphere, causing shadows to wisp out of it's mouth like smoke. With another massive motion, the beast reared forwards again, spewing black fire down towards grey as he sprinted

Unable to really jump or otherwise roll out of the literal pillar of fire Grey would just allow himself to be hit with the black flames, being launched backwards from the initial impact. (Currently have 0 information on the flames here so I have no idea what it would do to Grey's body.)

Since Grey was already undead, the black flames wouldn't infect him with a similar effect of Grey's blight. However the flames were hotter than normal flames so they would scorch and sear his flesh. Being hit with the full impact would more than likely blast him almost to the edge of the crystal field.

Fortunately for Grey he was undead, the black flames were more of a status inflicting attack than a straight up damage dealing one. However it was still a large blast of magic so he wouldn't get out unscathed

Grey was most certainly launched to the edge of the crystal field, landing facedown with a sickening 'CRUNCH '. The wolven male did not get up for a few moments, the scent of burnt flesh and fur heavy on the air. He slowly pushed himself up into a kneeling position, half of his face burned down to the flesh, the other half barely singed. As he got up it was clear that something in his left arm had broken some time from in between being launched and landing. He decided one more try at being peaceful before he actually started to go on the offence. He called out clearly toward the centre of the field, keeping one eye on the dinosaur. "Alright, you've proven that you are a threat, can we speak with one another now? "

The massive bone beast stood tall but didn't roar. It just looked down at Grey a low rumbling growl came from it. For a moment there was complete silence. Then...

"You....... what do you want Grey? Don't tell me one such as you is afraid of this? I see your past, you are no better than this monstrocity" said the female voice echoing through the battlefield

Grey paused a moment before letting out a loud, long laugh. Not a mocking laugh, simply a sound of amusement. "You believe I, a literal lord of undeath is frightened by a undead creature? Hilarious. I want to talk for a multitude of reasons, the first being who are you? " Grey took a tentative step forward, watching the bone creatures response.

"YOU STAY STILL" yelled the voice. But now it was no longer psychotic and whimsical, but harsh and filled with a new emotion. Fear....

"You........ are just like him. Strong and merciless, I will not be betrayed again" she snapped at grey. The massive bone beast simply stared down at grey, another low rumbling growl escaping from who knew where

The undead Lupine merely took a step back so he was standing in his previous position, and crossed his arms over his chest. He tilted his head to the side as he attempted to study the woman from afar, but the distance and the giant pile of bones was in his way. "Come now, I have no intention of harming you,if anything you harmed me ." He gestured to the broken arm and burnt flesh, sighing "May I come closer so we can have a calm conversation without yelling or straining to hear one another? You have my word I won't harm you. "

"You don't move" her voice echoed. In a moment, the reality would ripple in front of Grey like water. A female stepped out of thin air. She had long black and platinum hair that fell down to her lower back. Her eyes were an eerie green color spiraled with purple. She looked like she was only around twenty years old.

Her skin was pale and she wore a timid look on her face. She wore a long black dress that was almost royal. " they all promise, he promised, then he lied" she whispered

He looked her over, studying each individual feature carefully. He thought about what she said for a moment before responding "But I am not him. If you know about my past you know about what my word means. " He kept his arms crossed over his chest, then slowly extended his right hand to the female, a small smile on his face. "You know my name, but I don't seem to to know yours. "

"A-Ashe" she whispered quietly. She looked down at his hand and backed away from it shaking her head. "No, no, no, no you are just like him" she said looking afraid

The massive skeletal beast roared loudly again, slamming both of its arms onto the ground and sending a large tremor through the battlefield. Its eyes lit up with fiery crimson as it stared at Grey

" you just want my power, to use me so you can get to the Harrowsfell" Ashe said stepping back slowly shaking her head
