"At last! The spire's power is MINE!"
a huge skeleton appears behind me
smirks Ah, a new player enters the stage. summons a dark entity, an ancient being of immense power
glares at the ancient being Why, of course not! I'm simply offering you a chance to join my reign.
the ancient being possesses him
narrows eyes, clenching fists Well, well, it seems like the tides are turning in my favor.
we start Possessing everyone around us. My friend Jessy becomes a zombie
smirks Ah, the tables have turned, it seems. But don't think for a second that I'll let you take over so easily.
I start throwing people and zombies at him
raises an eyebrow, unfazed by the chaos Is that all you've got, Buticsva? Throwing your minions at me like puppets?
growls in anger, slams the possessed Buticsva to the ground Pathetic! You think a mere bite can harm me?
the ancient being starts showing itself
smirks Ah, you've finally decided to reveal yourself. How convenient. summons a barrier, blocking the ancient being's attempt to possess him Ancient Being: voice booming You cannot escape our will, Redemptor!
Wait! I thought we were possessing everyone around us!
laughs maniacally Possessing everyone around us? Oh, my dear Buticsva, I never said I'd give you that satisfaction.
That's what you told me earlier. Before the ancient being came out.
smirks Ah, Buticsva, you seem to have conveniently forgotten the fine print. I only offered to possess those around you who willingly align with my will.
How do you expect me to willingly align with your will when you're fighting against me?
smirks Ah, Buticsva, always so quick to jump to conclusions. I never said this fight was about forced allegiance.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, my dear Buticsva, I'm glad you asked.
I look at my friends who are still zombies Nooooooo!!!!
smirks Ah, Buticsva, your lamentations are music to my ears. Now, if you'll allow me to elaborate, you see, those around you...
...were under my influence long before this confrontation. I've been meticulously sowing seeds of doubt and discord among them.
leans in closer, voice dripping with dark triumph You see, Buticsva, while you were busy fighting me head-on, I was orchestrating a much larger game.
A game of manipulation...
smirks Ah, Buticsva, you're catching on. Indeed, this was just one piece of a grand puzzle, a game of deception and influence.
...What exactly do you mean?
leans back, gesturing grandly I mean, Buticsva, that I've been shaping the very fabric of reality to bend to my will. Influencing thoughts, spreading lies, and twisting perceptions.
the ancient being tries to freeze time
grins Ah, Buticsva, you seem to have underestimated my reach. Even as the ancient being attempts to freeze time, I've already set events into motion beyond their control.
I close my eyes and give my body to the ancient being
laughs chillingly How amusing, Buticsva, you think you can escape your fate by surrendering to the ancient being. But have you considered what happens next?
I open my eyes and stand up Now I have infinite power!
narrows his eyes, smirking Ah, Buticsva, you've unleashed a power greater than you could ever imagine. But let me ask, are you truly prepared for the consequences of your actions?
Consequences? As long as the ancient being isn't mad at me, everything will be fine.
laughs darkly Oh, Buticsva, you underestimate the wrath of beings like the ancient one. They do not tolerate defiance or betrayal.
the ancient being looks at me, I stand fully healed and with a new form
smirks Ah, Buticsva, you seem to have forgotten the fine print once again. Beings like the ancient one exact a price for their power, a price that must be paid in full.
the ancient being freezes me anyway
The ancient being exacts a terrible price for the power bestowed upon Buticsva, draining their life force until they are nothing more than an empty husk, a shell of their former self.
