"Atonement?? No, child, what I am doing is for the greater good of the monster race!! You will understand, sooner or later." The sorcerer utters, his unsealing spell almost complete, as he's met by Hanami's superpowered dispelling.
"Oh... It seems I underestimated you, little witch~ I should have made my barrier stronger; heh, nothing less should be expected from a descendant of the Zarukhim! Bwahahaha!!" He laughs evily.
OOC:
The witchcraft's resistance wouldn't be the barrier roll, but the abilities such as Iron-willed or resistance. Or dispelling it with one's own Witchcraft roll.
I'll use the roll you made, and just add the remaining dice to it.
He brings his other hand to the barrier, seeking to fortify it against the dispelling curse.
Sorcerer's roll: 1,5,4,2,6,4,2,6,6,1,1.
In the clash of opposing forces, Hanami almost overcomes, the Barrier shrinking almost to meet the sorcerer, but with some effort, he can keep it intact.
"Grr.." He grumbles, seemingly spent, to keep the defenses up.
"I indeed underestimated you... The delving down of the second level shall wait. But I warn you: you may delay us, but you won't stop us!" He says, as the seal finally breaks in multiple fragments.
He opens a portal next to him, just like the one that swallowed Aika, a cacophonous circle of lights, like a vitral of stained glass (one with completely random tiles).
"Heh, I'll leave you a little gift though; celebrating our first meeting!" He turns to Aika, still immobilized and seemingly a bit exhausted:
"I have been researching what was being experimented on this facility, and have been able to reach a pleasing result already~"
Just before leaving, he touches Aika's forehead with his pointy finger again,
"Now dear: be set free! Be the precursor of a new age for monsterkind!" A burst of energy pushes her back, she falls on her knees, her head low and shadowy.
With that, he takes his leave, bringing the Izumi girl with him, her eyes in tears; the portal dissipating behind him, the barrier too, dissolves.
As anyone approaches Aika, she raises her head to meet them, her eyes shinning with a sinister red light, her face contorted in rage, as she jumps on her feet, and lashes at them!
During her dash, she moving in a total animalesque way, she begins to transform: huge wings sprout from her back, definitely larger than before, her whole self seemed taller, in fact, her uniform stretching as it starts tearing partially; her hands turn into terrible claws, and her feet in talons, which shred her shoes.
Finally, her body is covered in feathers, as she takes on a hawk-like body, not so the humanoid hawk-person a Tengu would normally be, but a beastly creature with no traces of humanity.
Anyone with reasonable knowledge of monsterkind would know that this kind of frightening form, where a monster's powers is greatly increased, is only accessible to those who lost a great deal of their humanity, getting stronger and more terrible as they further depart from it.
First Round of Combat:
Aika rushes at the party and, with a powerful fan of her wings and make a pair of miniature tornadoes hurl at the party: one target's Luna, Ling Jing and Sumeryu, as for the other, it target's Ibuki and Hibana.
Tornado 1 rolls an 8, the second rolls 9, their DX is 4; they have Area Attack, so -1 for the defense.
Finally, she flies at Hanami, and tries to grab her with her talons, taking flight with her if she succeed.
She rolled a 12, burning 10 Endurance for extra dice. If Hanami succeed in evading, she has to roll against a 6 to determine damage, as the talons graze on her skin (that is, if she tries to physically evade).
