You take up your Dragonslayer Spear in both hands, ready to fight for your life. But then decide staying on the defense won't work, you have to attack! Dashing forward, you drive the point of your spear straight into the chest of the nearest skeletal Darkwraith, breaking its ribs and splitting him in half against the crossguard. Then you snap the butt around, cracking it against an Astora Knight's armored helm. Denting the metal and dropping the warrior in a single hit. Charging your ki into the weapon, the blade crackling with lightning you whip it around overhead in a circle, bringing it crashing down on the midsection of the black iron armored knight as he raises his massive slab of a sword overhead. Bisecting him, the weight of his weapon toppling his upper body backwards as you continue pressing your attack.
“Come on, is this all you've got?!” you shout, pressing your advantage. Using your speed, you strike well over a dozen before they can fire off a single attack, only for magical attacks to start raining down. Lances of magic sharpened with crystals, orbs of Abyssal Dark, columns of fire, spears of lightning and walls of force all fire upon you. These attacks pass through the phantom Darkwraiths, your enemy relying on the lack of friendly fire to unleash their most devastating attacks with reckless abandon. Forcing you to keep moving, not staying in one place any longer than it takes to kill a single phantom. But the press of bodies begin closing off the floor space, forcing you into a tighter and tighter area. Cutting your mobility and forcing you to push THROUGH your enemies to keep on the move. Thrusting your spear through two armored knights, the tip of the weapon becomes embedded in the stone shield of one of Havel's Knights turned Darkwraith, the stone armored warrior swinging his Dragon's Tooth overhead to crush you. Forcing you to drop the spear, catching the club with both hands. And start spinning him in a circle, knocking down dozens of warriors before pitching him at Sulyvahn's ki. “HAAAAAAA!!”
The stone knight and the two others impaled between his shield and your spear rocket through the crowd, slamming into Sulyvahn just as he'd turned to head out the door. Knocking him prone, sending the trio slamming into the fog gate. But you can't simply rush through so much firepower and weaponry without taking damage, so draw the invisible sword of the Darkwraith woman, gripping its hilt in both hands.
“I'll take you all on!” you declare, dashing forward and immediately cutting down two more skeletal Darkwraiths. Chopping their heads clean off with a horizontal slash, phantom blood spurting through the air.
