Chapter 484 - Chapter 484: Rock 'Em

The Witch would snap her fingers and wind up a strike against the Nuckelavee, watching it contort and try to strike back. As soon as it tried, the Witch's glass eyes disappeared, immediately knocking away such a lifeless body, before being struck at the back of its head. Haymaker across his dome. The beast flailed its arms wildly, causing the Witch to switch again, another sneak attack, now a direct stab through the chest, striking at his heart. Even with such damage, the Nuckelavee would absorb her arm into itself, as it tries to aim for a slap across her skull. Once the Witch swapped, however, the beast immediately turned itself around and backhanded the Beldam's other body, letting it fly across the restaurant. It was starting to pick up how her Final Gambit functioned, as Harvard would take control and cast a spell through the body, letting the Devil of the Sea charge ahead with no further hesitation. Dragging the Witch's body across the black stone, the Beldam recognized that if she tried to switch again, it would result in being exposed extremely early.

Improvization needs to be done.

Her toys were quick on the draw, letting the dolls sweep through, altering their faces, trying to copy his Mother's, albeit to varying degrees of success. Such attempts would only cause the Nuckelavee to strike back, grabbing ahold of one of them, whilst bucking around and letting the other body be used as a ram to swat them away. The String Humanoid would step in and try to attack, throwing its arms out in order to try and catch the Nuckelavee. The beast would be pierced through its stomach, watching as it rends through such muscles like worms, digging across it in order to find any vitals. The beast merely ran through at full speed, letting the humanoid scatter, as the Beldam would switch places and pull out her arm from the monster, her hand detached, smoke quickly spilling out to cloud the monster's vision. Hook into an elbow, pushing down the Devil, following it with stomp after stomp, watching the action figures invade and flank around the opposite side. Such soldiers would have a set of weapons for each arm, strengthening themselves further with such firepower.

BANG!! BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG!!

Metal hell for the Devil, fired across, ripping through such flesh as if they were mere pieces of meat. Even with such damage and a roar escaping from the Nuckelavee's mouth, the Beldam persisted. She'd let her soldiers toss in her other body as she began to switch between them. Haymakers and Elbows, grips across the neck to shake the body in such violent methods. Grabbing ahold and tearing off such arms to use as bats against the Devil's body. Stomping and sweeping across the horse's ankles. One of the bodies would even allow a few of her toys, a few plushies, to fire down beams of light, heating up her hand, and using it as a branding iron against the monster's face, acting as a reminder of such torment. The monster howled in pain on each and every occasion, yet despite such damage, Harvard remained calm. In fact, he was smiling, even as he was feeling such pain from the inside. The Beldam was quick to catch on that the child wasn't reacting in comparison to the Nuckelavee. Something was being set up.

Talismans across his fibre, flames lighting up, showing each and every attack dished out from the army towards the boy. He was letting himself be beaten up in order to gain such strikes and have it act as ammunition. Harvard's eyes would be back, as the torso began to tug.

RRRRRRRRRRIP!!!!

The body was split in two, the Nuckelavee taking control of the beast, as it lunged out and swamped through the artificial creations, countering back in its own way, whether it was with its maw or claws, it showed little to no mercy. Meanwhile, Harvard would let himself be launched up as his arms took back control, pushing the Beldams away, letting it regenerate around the stump and cast out two spells, one of which would be copying the other in terms of effects:

Monster Seal.

One for the flames now embedded across his body, another for the many toys that had to give their lives fighting for the Witch. "You want to clone yourself, huh? Let me have a try." The boy asked, his voice distorted with both his own and the Nuckelavee's speaking simultaneously. The green glow erupted as soon as he demanded it, summoning forth two monsters with the needed ability to overwhelm her. A white fox with red streaks, snarled teeth, and ring-like eyes that stared into the Witch's soul: Tamamo. A deer-like monster with genetic code traced across its hair-like antlers and stilt legs, its heart visible and beating: Genomix. One was quick to take the Nuckelavee's DNA, letting it mold into them and transform, whilst the other would disappear in a puff of smoke, recreating the beast from memory and appearing within it.

Immediately, she was swarmed by three Devils, two of which were properly intact, as they'd make their move. Despite such efforts, the Beldam was able to see at a quick glance how they did it, as well as what differentiates between them. One merely has it as a disguise, veiling themselves underneath such a monstrous figure, tested by tossing her clone outwards to smack into the Nuckelavee duplicate, watching as the arms phased through it, a breath of mist across them. The other, while truly adopting the beast, can see it is still Genomix, through its mask-like face melting into its head. So long as she identifies such differences, she could be able to track down and kill the child while ignoring any distractions.

Such was the plan, up until Harvard casted one more seal, as well as Fusion for the two monsters, letting the two merge, the disguise now truly inseparable from the authentic monster.
