Nue raised her trident and stabbed it into the grass below. The snake coiled around her arm began wriggling and letting out a shadowy torrent that spilled down the trident and to the ground below, soon overtaking the entire surrounding forest!
<span class="mu-s">"I can make things lose their identity. You wouldn't be able to tell a blade of grass apart from a needle sticking up until you stepped on it... if you're even willing to take that risk. You never know, it might be the real thing!~ Ahahahahaha!"</span>
Kasen shuddered at the sight of it, slowly losing her bearings on everything. Suika was just... confused, since by keeping her eyes closed, she couldn't even experience Nue's ability to begin with. But the Hermit, she was faring worse than you expected, beginning to become dizzy and wobble on her feet.
She looked back to you and was startled.
<span class="mu-i">"A... Albert...?! Where are you?!"</span>
"I'm right here!" You waved your arms.
<span class="mu-i">"I... I can't make you out so well, you're about to become completely unrecognizable to me!"</span> She stressed.
Her artificial arm unfurled, and shot forth through the air, wrapping around Nue's ankle to bind the Youkai, managing to catch her there even as Nue's ability threw her and you for a loop.
<span class="mu-i">"I'll hold her here! Run, and go find Kogasa! Just get out of here, don't worry about us! She can't beat us, no matter how much she attacks!"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"That's what you think! With your field distorted, now you won't be able to hit me so well with your Danmaku, most of it is going to miss. On the contrary, I can see you perfectly clear, I'll be able to whittle you down by however much or long it takes until you submit! You might as well try running now, Human, it won't make a difference. I'll still get you! And then I'll EAT YOU!"</span>
It was like the worst acid trip you've never had, since you didn't do drugs... the forest was unrecognizable. You could just take a chance running in any direction with your arms outstretched and hope you get out of the range of her ability, and that you don't trip on something or run into a tree...
...but still, you didn't want to just leave Kasen here all by herself!
>No way! No retreat! We can still pull through this! Fight on Kasen! Give it your all! You're stronger than her!
>She's right, sticking around will just get you killed. You better high tail it fast and find the Umbrella.
>Not all is lost just yet. Suika isn't being affected... you have to try to convince her to throw down and end this!
