One of the grafted scions landed in front of me and I could recognize who it was.
"Godfay." Another of my cousins, and the first to say that grafting was wrong. Godefroy dealt with her himself. And now she was a beast made from what she opposed.
"You shall be put to rest. As a worrier, not a beast." I knew that i should just stab her brain and keep going but a part of me, a new part that come from my training with Radahn, said she deserved a proper death. So I lifted my halberd mentally preparing myself for her.
She was training to be a crucible knight after all.
I stood and watched for a sign of her moving just to quickly leap to the side as she slammed a horn covered arm on the ground.
The ground shattered and dirt and rocks were flung into the air creating a cloud that abscured my vision.
*BOOM*
And I was hit in the gut by a tail she didn't have before. That was when I heard Goddard, another of my cousins, start talking.
"She was already capable of the crucible spells before we grafted on her, so Godefroy asked what would happen if we gave her a limb based on each of the spells? Well it strengthened and quickened the spells!" He didn't recognize me due to my armor and the fact I'm no longer slouching around like I used to be. I desired to have a beast embedded into my armor like Radahn but I know I lion was not at my soul like it was with Radahn. But I will forge myself into a beast of battle. Even if my heart tells me to run and hide.
I lifted my halberd and got ready to throw it just to be forced to jump again due to a large beast claw sweeping down to my old location.
"Goddard, you shall not live through this day. I vow to the light that courses through these lands." I changed my target to Goddard as his eyes widened in shock.
Piercing Light!
With a throw my helberd was sent to the cowards head but it missed and hit a wall which made him laugh.
"So you think just because you are wearing some armor and got a fancy lamp you can beat me Godrick!" Goddard stood up and shook off the gloves he was wearing to reveal that his hands wear flayed.
"Godefroy saw my strength in controlling others so he gave me a power even better!" He plunged his hands into two corpses next to him and pulled back revealing his "gift".
He turned the corpses into a pair of large arms. But something even worse was shown, the fact the corpses he grafted had come back to life and were crying out in pain.
"Goddard, you are sentenced to death by electrocution" a team of dragon cult knights dropped from the hole my halberd made and used an incantation to kill the bastered.
Even if Goddard was died I couldn't relax, because Godfrey was still standing and without Goddard controlling her she was mindless, which actually made me feel better for what I needed to do.
I raised my hand to signal the dragon knights that this was my fight and not to interfere with it. "Godfrey, the most promising member of the Golden lineage of the current generation. I shall grant you a proper death." I raised my halbered and leveled it with her.
They stood there waiting for an unseen signal to start. That signal come in the form of a spark sounding from one of the dragon knights lighting armament.
They bolted at each other, one with a silent determination and the other with a beastial roar. Metal meet bone. A golden flash meet spectral tail. Clash after clash until one jumped away from the other, and it wasn't Godrick who jumped. Godfrey wasn't bloody but there were deep cuts in her hide, deep enough to have cut the tendons and ligaments connecting her limbs.
With her unable to more or run Godrick got ready to give her a bright end. He lifted his halberd and it started to shine with light and has it left his hand something happened. She spoke.
"Ho-horn… se-sen-sent." Her mangled mouth moved like a soggy paper as she pushed out the two words.
Piercing light
And it was done, she was done.
