Why settle for bigger knockers? Why not more knockers as well?

>>710606
obv.

Spider legs are good. Hugeness is good. Probably should grow a bunch of extra eyes and maybe a few arms too. Oh! And big glowing red weakspot on your underbelly!

Pineapple upside-down cake!

A snake! A classic boss form that is scientifically proven to never end well for the shapeshifter. (But really because it has no limbs for those suspicious magical chains to attach to.)

Whatever we think of will appear and destroy us! So empty your heads, don't think of anything! We've only got one shot at this.

>For starters, gotta enhance knockers.
Welp, too late, we're doomed.

I support the return of the spider skirt (maybe the chains could morph into a entire web of golden chain, across the cavern?). And maybe Kali-style multi-arms too. And give deem more eyes, just to stick it to stargazer and her one. (Either add a third eye, or go full on spider with 8). And of course, make her bigger.

>Note that the mana leeching from her heart is pooling in the lava. That effectively makes this whole caldera a witch's cauldron, stirred by the earth's pulse, stoked by the earth's fire, and imbued with witch's blood. That's a very potent combination, and I suspect a very strong setup for ritual magic.
She's using ritual magic for this transformation, right?

Deem: You seem to be relying on Dere a lot now that you can't read our suggestions. Are those your true feelings? Perhaps it is not your body that is chained, but your heart.


Wouldn't that be a cool form, actually? A giant rocky heart lifted off the floor by a number of chains.

Alternatively, she could take on a Giant Chakarchelou form.

>>710605
SATANISH! DEEMONIC!

>>710605
An enemy smaller than itself.

Deem did you realize you just grabbed Moriko and pumped her full of goo? That's awfully lewd of you.

Enormous, vaguely nautical-themed marshmallow golem.

The cavern trembles.

"Yahoo, at last the final battle! Do not worry for my safety, I am contentedly watching from afar, hu hu! The witch's barrier has cracked. You can reach her with your overflowing feelings and I can measure her attributes for you."

Heart of Disaster: Deem!
Dere: 3/10
Tsun: 9/10
Kuu: 3/10
Yan: 10/10

The witch of the labyrinth. She possesses a determined nature. No matter how maddened and cursed she is, she still hates to give up. Strike her down, cut her legs out from under her and she will still try to rise. Drunk with power, she's easily tricked. She fights with no thought to her own preservation and strikes with overwhelming force, tearing herself apart in the process. Stay on the defence and wait for an opening or she'll wipe you out!

Her transformation makes her resistant to physical attacks. She has a chance of inflicting damage with her physical attacks on top of her techniques.

"Good luck!"

"So, my little mice. Are you going to run or are you going to struggle before the end?"

>Select techniques.

>>711176
Stargazer totally has to poke her in the extra eye at some point in this fight.

Also, we have to use the knockers against her, somehow.

Blow her a kiss

I see the pineapple upside-down cake went straight to her thighs.

We need mobility, and for that we need more platforms. Use a Kuu technique (Let's Do the Spacewarp Again) to portal in more of them. Keep the hat Stargazer, it looks good on you.

Moriko, use dere technique On The Shoulders of Giants to get in close for a personal appeal.

It looks like we should focus on Kuu techniques. Tsun is her strongest stat, which means we have to avoid getting trumped by it. Dere techniques might work out okay if they're shielded by Kuu techniques or something, and are used only as support so that they don't expose us to counter-attack. Tsun is probably mostly pointless since we can't really attack directly, unless we can figure out a way to fit Tsun to something that isn't a straight up attack.

How about we start out with a Kuu-trump? I want to cool down that lava, or cover it completely. Remove the possibility of Deem splashing it on us.
Moriko should use a purely defensive shadow-step.


Deem, what's that orange stuff around your Heart Fragment? Are your spell channels growing into your golem body? That can't be safe, even with the amulet.

just walk up and kiss 'er
duh

>>711176
Holy boobers!

You can even hide in front of her with those.

>>711184
She's not fat, she's just big stoned!

I always thought I'd go out like this, fighting a 50-foot tall playboy bunny. Didn't expect the lava, though.
Stargazer, use Kuu technique Dream of Oceans to cool that lava (and her fiery temper) to immobilize Deem. Moriko, execute Kuu technique Void Step for a tactical advance in the opposite direction.

Top priority is now getting rid of those boob arms. All else is secondary.

What good are the extra arms if you need to use them to cover up the extra boobs?

>bunny ears
So... does she have a pom pom on her butt too? A widdle bunny tail?

(If Deem turns to try and check, use this as an opportunity to attack while she's distracted).

>It looks like we should focus on Kuu techniques.
The key to that is we have to keep goading her. Keep her angry so she keeps lashing out with Tsun.

>what do
I second the idea of Stargazer using Kuu to create floating platforms to level the playing field. Orbital optics: summon a stellar system around the largest mass.

(Stargazer can't speak but putting objects in orbit around Deem definitely works as a non-verbal joke about her weight).

Dance. DANCE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER DANCED BEFORE. MOVE THOSE LEGS

Kuu techniques for now. Once she gets worn down, summon the shadow spirit and give her a transformation sequence.

"What is this? What nonsense are you saying to her? No, don't tell me. I can imagine. How dare you. Fear, awe and worshipful adoration. Those are appropriate responses that you should be feeling. I am very powerful and important and you are all mice, or perhaps bugs. Ones that should be impressed and afraid. I should have known this was a mistake indulging you. Hmmph!"

It's very impressive, I am sure. Very... imposing."

Stargazer crosses her arms in imitation of Deem.

"You're sure? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well..."

"No, you don't tell me either!"

Deem is sulking.

"Jaja, your unorthodox tactic has distracted her! As expected of the voices, ufu! She has trouble controlling her surging emotions, maybe you can bring out her true feelings! It might take more than words, she's still transformed and wallowing in curses, but maybe you can sneak some magic past her while she's like this, huhu!"

>>712955
Look at the crown! It's got alkaline's thingy on it and stargazer's eye and Moriko's hammer and merud's golem faces! THAT'S SO CUTE DEEM!

Hey Deem, you can do critical damage to their self-esteem if you lean forwards a good bit.

Hah, Moriko is too impressed (and maybe aroused) to be intimidated by massive deem.

It'll be easier to talk if you're standing eye to eye(s). Stargazer, become kaiju-sized!

Moriko, enchant something for dispelling Deem's curses into the ring from around the hat. Stargazer can slip it on one of Deem's fingers once she lets her guard down.

Deem, your friends think you're important! Important enough to rescue from this dark dreem!

Also, come closer. The voices have something very important to share. Closer. Clooooser.


you just lost the game Deem

Deem would be a lot more intimidating if she wasn't so cute.

>>712963
We could tease her about this, it might make her defensive of her liking of her friends, but it might also push her towards wanting to throw them all away.

Someone more creative than me should come up with a cool magic attack to take advantage of her lowered defenses.

>>712958
More than words, huh? I don't suppose we could use a Dere technique, targeting Deem as an ally to clear her head? Or to lift some of those curses? Even a seed that grows over time will be enough in the end.

Deem, everyone here respects you, as a powerful ancient being full of wisdom and potential. You don't have to use force or intimidation to get that respect. I don't think Moriko is easy to phase, anyway, and Stargazer is... Stargazer.

Stargazer, use X-ray Vision to scan for weak spots!

Guys, she's right on top of you! How did you let a fifty foot boss monster sneak up on you? From the front?

Your new form really has Moriko spellbound, Deem! Maybe she should let her get a closer look before you destroy her and all that jazz.

Stargazer sacrifices her new hat for the good of all. She kneels, prying free the hat-band to enchant curse dispersing magic into it.

Deem closes in. She nearly swamps the low platforms with boiling curses.

"If this the true you, why can't you express yourself clearly? You're all tangled up."

Stargazer is fed up with this. Stargazer is unlikely to follow any more commands!

"Uwah, that's really impressive! You actually made things worse. you'll need to act quickly to salvage things! You've only got one more chance to act!"

>>849247

Your wings are not for show, Moriko. Fly to the heart, grip it carefully, and calm its raging pulse for long enough to free it by channeling your best Kuu meditative stance - do not attack it, or the attack will turn to cake! Then fly to the roof, carrying the orb! Or ask Deem and Stargazer to help you lift it up. It's... kinda big.

>>849247
Quick, consume all of the cake! You're big enough to do that now!

Also enhance knockers for everyone, the situation looks screwy enough for that to work.

Ignore the stupid and CLIMB OUT OF THIS NUTHOUSE! Thank you.

>>849249

>It's... kinda big.

Oh! Oh. Deem has a big heart. That is bleeding. It figures.

It figures that she is a magnificent and powerful dungeon to have such a big heart! Clearly, that's what this means, in this magical dream-logic realm!

Hhhhh... Deem. It's gonna be okay. You're gonna be okay. You didn't have to end up like some carto--stylish villain, just to achieve the power to protect your frie- your interests. That's not what you really want, and you know it. Else we'd not gotten through to you at all. This is your dream, Deem. Calm those raging, contradictory emotions. Save the day.

C'mon, folks. Solution is obvious.

Moriko, use the ultimate Hammerai Tsun technique, "It's not like I like you or anything, baka!" to launch Deem into the sky, leaving a Deem-shaped hole in any intervening walls, no matter how sturdy they might otherwise appear. Can't be converted into cake because it's not actually magic, just a really good hammer swing.

Moriko can then fly through the same hole using those wings. Stargazer's gigantic form can simply climb out to safety.

>You've only got one more chance to act!
If this is the last update it's probably time for Stargazer's ultimate technique where she opens her second eye. (Or reveals whatever other starry horror is hidden back there, as she only has one).

>A random imp benefits from it instead.
>definitely_not_going_to_cause_any_trouble.png
We could use the overcharged imp as a grenade or something.

>"Well hit it with your hammer or something!"
You heard her, Moriko. You slam her secret spot with your big hard hammer.

>drinks in the plentiful raw mana spurting from it.
>The Starry Eyed Apocalypse Maiden expands to apocalyptic proportions.
I wonder how this is going to translate to Reisarf when she comes off him. Make him taller? Make his dick huge? Inexplicable gender swap?

Either way he's probably going to be wearing a cake instead of clothes.

>>849251
It'll just keep hitting random targets, but sure.
Stargazer, here's a simple command: Use physical force to rend the barrier before any more of your skin- I mean, clothes- falls off!
Moriko, you must make your appeals to the heart. Deem doesn't keep that close to her chest, remember? Another alternative is to give Deem a nosebleed with something lewd and direct the shower of raw mana downwards to create thrust.

Moriko, tell Deem to throw you to her heart. Then smack it with your hammer to dislodge it, and carry it up and out.

>>849247
Stargazer, Deem, YOU'RE KAIJU, JUST RIP THE HEART OUT OF THE GROUND WITH YOUR GIANT MONSTER HANDS AND SHIELD IT WITH YOUR BODIES.

Hiiiii. Since there's a lot of things to keep track of of, maybe I should remind you, uhuuu.

You should think very carefully about what needs to be done, what resources you have and what the possible pitfalls are.

Any magic that causes harm will instead make delicious desserts, any beneficial magic will randomly affect a valid target and any magic that affects Deem will affect everyone. You've changed the terrain, changed Moriko and Stargazer and the power of magical girls is amplified but the proof of their status, their cute clothes, are being consumed by it! How scandalous! Huhuhu, I won't tell them that last one was your fault.

Deem is still not thinking clearly and Stargazer doesn't want to listen to you any more. They both might need some convincing or extra motivation! Also there's imps. I think some of them are cute, but don't get distracted by them, ne? And for another thing, might something cause another surge of unstable magic in the middle of all your hard laid plans?

Deem's Heart is locked into its current position by the earth pulse. That burning halo of curses around it is big, isn't it?

After you can move it, you need to remove it from this distorted space. Where are the exits? Moriko and Stargazer came in through a hole in the barrier in the sky. Is it still there? What if it's not? Also, so you don't forget, the sky is very high in the air!

The collapse will be less harmful without the Heart present, but you probably don't want to be here for it. How can people get out too?

Good luck~

>>849481
I see..
Then I would like to rescind my previous suggestion >>849251
and just have deem enhance her knockers.

>>849481
take the ALL THE WORLD'S EVIL imp and stick it in the curse aura

Deem's ring has smaller rings on it. Can we remove the ring representing Alkaline and stick it in the curse and/or jello? Alkaline is good against curses and Jello may be used as a summoning medium.

Also, it's okay Stargazer. Just bad timing. Should have worked but the cake thing kicked in. You did your best.

Also maybe use a hunger spell on deem. She can't eat but the imps can.

current problems:
heat- heat= explosions maybe? maybe we can prevent explosions by reducing the heat?
Curse: curses are bad. Moriko had a sorta shrine maiden thing going on- use a dere purification ritual?
Imps: Now that two members of our part are giants, presumably the imps are less of a danger. However I've got the feeling that they may be solidified clumps of curse- they may be able to purge the curse by using them to soak up curse and then defeating them.
Crazy magic: We can't buff and we can't attack. We can only use neutral magics- and neutral magics can be magnified by casting them on deem.
Power: Too much power! We need to either vent it or use it up.

oh and
Earth pulse: we have to either bring it to a climax (may explode) or calm it down. Smacking the orb with a hammer seems inadvisable.

>>849481
that sounds like a hassle, let's just do cute things and wait for everything to work itself out.

>>849485
Or just have Moriko wear the ring as a hat. Important thing- Jelly techniques.

Excellent advice from a completely trustworthy source.
Okay, new plan: Throw the unstable imp absorbing curses from the air at the heart to free it from the pillar.Kuu Technique: IMPromptu Missile! Then Moriko can swoop in and get her hands all over Deem's most private part.

As for getting out of here - Hello! Moriko has wings, and Deem and Stargazer are both titanic! Moriko can flap in an ungainly fashion to achieve altitude, and the twin titans can just jump. Survival is enough motivation, right? Deem might get less air with her legs submerged in jello, but she can use those spider legs to help traverse the walls of the cavern. In brief: Yan Technique(s): Coiled Springs of Thunderous Ascent!
QB... QB can just appear out of nowhere at the top if it wants. We don't really mind either way.

>>849247
Stargazer use Kuu technique- frosty pout. Everyone is trying all these things are they're ridiculous and blowing up in our faces. Calm down and chill out, get cool enough to beat this heat and think of something.

Moriko, use Dere technique- Pure handholding. Hold deems, uh, finger and promise her that you will ever be her faithful hammurai servant. These imps are merely false servants conjured by the curse- would she trust them enough to touch the orb as she trusts Moriko?

Deem, use Kuu technique- I all I see is mine. This is not your dungeon, these are not your imps. They are things the curse forced upon you. But you are a dungeon. Claim them. Any structure a dungeon resides in is a dungeon! Any monster that enters a dungeon can be claimed by that dungeon! Do not flee the situation- exert your control! Make the curse YOURS!

If Stargazer can be persuaded to listen, how about Kuu Technique: Three-Point Perspective Shell Game to link Deem's Heart, the evil-absorbing imp, and the highest accessible spot in the cavern (since those three things are perpendicular focal points, in some metaphysical sense), and then rapidly swap them around? Neither beneficial nor harmful since it's strictly a matter of equivalent exchange.

Imp disconnects heart from earth pulse due to pre-existing curse absorbtion effect, or even if it doesn't, every time the shell-game effect attempts to move Deem's heart to the top, it instead moves everything in the cavern upward. Wild magic effects can't extend beyond the area of surging earth-pulse to relocate the entire mountain, so up and out means we all escape by surfing on an erupting jelly volcano.

Ok, so... the only magic that will work reliably is magic that isn't beneficial or harmful? Oh dear, what counts as beneficial?? Will a beneficial spell targeting everyone redirect to everyone, or will it bounce around randomly to multiply on some and miss some others? But a spell affecting Deem will affect everyone. So, if a teleport was cast on everyone, it would have a good chance of hitting Deem, and if it hit Deem it would hit everyone. So... mass teleport escape?

>>849247
Maybe Deem would be more successful in her endeavours if she didn't have to dedicate half her arms to boob management.

Deem, you are thinking like one of these simple, constrained beings. You are not a body. You are a world! This chaos, the curses and confections and confused cohorts and chaotic charms, are not surrounding your heart, they are within your heart, and to your heart, they are petty. Food and friends and fascinations, not threats. There is too much power about you, Consume it! Your denizens are misbehaving, they simply have not found their proper place, Build it!

Dere technique: Universal embrace! I am all and all is I.

Take all the power around you and use it! Mend the corridors, reinforce the mountain, build that martial school/orphanage and observatory they always wanted, build a small theme-park/child-care for adventuring families to leave the kids at, overwhelm the questing beast with your magically-enhanced will and bind it to your employ at a help desk to be public relations to worried parents and bratty children and irritating team mascots, build a small settlement for the unruly imps to inhabit and defend in waves, mutate the overloading imp into a miniboss, raise a dark-and-foreboding-tower to issue a challenge to all the world, breach a water-table and flood a labyrinth, everyone loves water labyrinths! rip those curses off of you and stick them onto treasure chests, Crush that confection curse into a cramped corridor crawling with consumptive slimes, let intruders try firing furious flames to fight flowing foes to face the fear of frightening fiends feasting ferociously for fattening and flinging their false forms! Tear minerals from the depths, bind lava to your service, draw the monsters into your will. This mountain will serve its own interests, and the whole mountain is you!

<insert maniacal laughter>

Deem: You must ascend to the heavens to seek your vengeance! Raise this altar with your heart upon it up to the very top of the chamber with all your geomantic might!
Moriko: Use your shadow clone technique to make a dark copy of the dispelling ring upon Deem's finger, and slip it on the heart itself!
Stargazer: Just hang onto that pillar tightly. If you do manage to snap off the pillar between your thighs, well that just makes the heart more portable, doesn't it?
We've got a slight problem if the barrier is sealed: none of you have drill hair! Or actual drills! Perhaps Moriko's incorporeal shadow can pass through, and trigger its opening once more from the outside.
Cast a spell of Knocker Empowerment on Deem. Boosted Imps are still nothing compared to twin enhanced titans.

Cast the curse absorption spell again and again, hoping for that lucky Deem redirect, and channel the power into continuous growth. Then, have Deem climb on top of Deem/Stargazer's shoulders to double the effective rate of growth! As Deem races to meet the ceiling, Deem's might will allow Deem to pound on the barrier with Deem's many fists and break free as one/Deem. If you use up all the curse energy in the process of everyone and their pet familiar absorbing curse energy, that's a bonus! The heart itself should grow out of its restraints once targeted, don't forget to pick that up before you go - but maybe after it rolls over all the imps first. This would be better facilitated by a neutral spatial warping spell that reshapes the terrain into a furrowed ramp downwards.

"Go on, steal her Heart, Moriko!"

The imp flies through the air, rebounds off the cursed aura, lands upside-down in Deem's throne then springs back up and tries to gnaw on it. The aura rapidly loses strength. The imp's body grows and warps as it feeds off the aura.

Stargazer is poised to squish the imp the moment it looks like it's getting too uppity.

Moriko flies through the air, drop kicks the back of the imp's head and Stargazer yanks it aside. The turbulent around Deem's Heart

>You heard her, Moriko. You slam her secret spot with your big hard hammer.
"I won't dignify that with a response."

>Moriko: Use your shadow clone technique to make a dark copy of the dispelling ring upon Deem's finger, and slip it on the heart itself!
"That may end up 'gentler' I'll make the attempt."

Moriko uses Dere Technique: Phantasm of Memory

A shadowy copy of the ring appears and Moriko carefully slides it around the Heart. The Heart falls out of its position. Moriko darts forward to catch it.

"Haah?!"

"..."

Stargazer quietly exterminates the imp.

Deem slumps as she loses her connection to the earth pulse.

"Just get my Heart out of here, that's the important thing. We'll follow!"

"..."

Stargazer moves to help Deem stand. A human(?) crutch.

"Don't worry, I'll protect her!"

Without a word, Moriko finds the shrinking hole in the sky and vanishes.

The entire chamber shudders violently.
