"If there is one who knows about the ways of this world, it should be him. His guidance is our guidance. His character is irrelevant if information is factual. We are tired of interpretations, of diversions caused by fissures of the heart. We want nothing but the truth."
"Darn, I don't think we have any choice then..." You raise your weapon and take a deep breath, making sure your Od stays flickering at just the right time for you to defend and strike only when absolutely needing to.
The remote control of swords makes this fight be absolutely hell on your Od control, not only do you have to slide under blades, but also dodge the weapons and armors flying from outside Godot's armory, being controlled into a mashed pile of metal.
The clash somehow still appears to be even, while the strike you apply with blunt force to make a dent in the metal, the entity always blocks it without effort, or counter attacks you with a duplicate that goes through your attacks, forcing you to jump back and retreat. There really is no safe zone to go towards in this combat.
Gunpowder is seen approaching in the distance, dodging whatever objects were sent flying his way, with him thankfully not being the focus of the attacks, he will surely approach you without much issue.
"Finding peace with a single apostle is not enough to change the world." The entity contemplates what information it interpreted from what Hyde knew from you. Before being turned into nothing, we were apostles, we were human, we were good, we were evil. We are all the same, we will meet death and suffer as one. Your struggle is nonsensical, alien, so we need to learn of your internal logic, absorb your consciousness directly into ours. What do you know that we don't, Vlad? What is it that you preach with your weapon?"
As the creatures attempt to use all of it's brainpower into actions, it bends and constructs itself into a full armor set made of smaller weapons, coating itself with a juggernaut of metal hiding the true enemy inside.
Combining it with the assortment of weapons flying and dodging in your direction, and there are too many ways for him to attack with too little for you to counterattack.
"Wha- Partner...?" Hyde slowly shifts up, appearing to not have lost his memory about you, but the hand in his hand as he heal from a migraine might prove that he's not exactly in good condition to fight."
>Tell Hyde to Run.>Tell him to call for Violet.>Tell him to shoot his slingshot through the holes of the armors.>Imbue his pellets with Od and combine it with a soul arrow of your own.>Get his slingshot and attempt a shot yourself.>Wait for Gunpowder and escape.>Skewer the monster until you break through the juggernaut.
