Stamina, it appeared, was another issue that she needed to work on.
Satori grunted softly at this while the large Golem next to her remained standing at her side, she knew she was safe. That was about all she could do in the end. Closing his eyes and releasing a slow breath Satori focused on the ki around them. Soon if things were to continue repeating, Frost would re-appear as well. There was a limit to how much they could push through all this and not endanger others, if Verena took too much longer he'd be forced to intervene.
Opening his eyes his lips turned downward slightly in a faint frown, finally speaking. Voice clear and calm.
"Verena. Finish it." He stated, tone calm and simple as his mana flowed out from him. If he had June's abilities, he'd be able to enhance her recovery rate as well. But that wasn't the way of things, unfortunately. No, here they were limited to what she herself was able to recover naturally. It was all up to her own ability, and nothing more. But his tone had made it clear, if she didn't finish it soon: he would.

The fruits of her efforts were beginning to show, at least. There were various cracks appearing in this golem, at this moment, and it was clear that it had taken a sufficient beating in this split moment the Summoner had. But she realized it just as well as Bengal. Yes, despite her efforts, this wasn't going to hold. Verena's golem landed one more clubbing blow on the golem, having nearly dispersed of it, but it wasn't enough.[break][break]
Though her golem landed a strike against the injured part of the golem, the behemoth did not pay it any mind. It was a construct of pure mana; faint levels of sentience aside, it lacked a nervous system. It could keep going just like a machine, never pausing. It tore from its restraints as easily as it had before, pushing back Billy. If that wasn't enough, the golem turned around, it's massive frame set upon Verena.[break][break]
Immediately, the woman realized what was going to happen, events playing out in her head before they even occurred. Even if she could summon a golem in this instant, she could not protect it. Her mana was almost entirely completely depleted after all. She had the means to summon one more golem, at most two if she really pushed herself. It might have been possible to summon a golem behind the Candycane Golem in an attempt to ambush it, but as she couldn't see behind it that well due to its size, she had no idea if anyone would be in danger as a result of that action. So there was really only one course of action she could take if she was to have even a minute chance of winning. It all came down to one more hit. That was all she needed.[break][break]
"Verena. Finish it."[break][break]
Yeah. Verena knew that. She couldn't afford to use her mana so recklessly though. Something was going to have to give, but that was fine. She had an appropriate estimation of the strength of this golem. Of this titan. It would hurt, but...[break][break]
If she wasn't willing to get hurt for the sake of her own ideologies and beliefs, then she must not have been willing to care about them that much. Her mana skin would protect her, even if it would hurt. But in that momentary instant, she would win. And nobody else would have to risk getting hurt. The damage would be limited purely to the roads, and not houses. No civilian would get hurt. If that wasn't a victory, then what was?[break][break]
There was a slight miscalculation on her part, however. The titan didn't need to approach her; there was some distance between the two, but enough to make it immensely difficult for her to try to avoid dodging. The candy cane spears launched from its hands, all aimed at Verena. Due to its injured state, it wasn't quite able to make the most of this; or at the very least, it was only able to shoot out three, only half of what it is capable of earlier.[break][break]
Against any other mage, they would have been able to dodge. Even an inexperienced would have been able to move out of the way due to the near-linear method in which they shot out. The issue was... Verena was not fast. At all. She simply could not afford to be. She sought to move out of the way, but due to the size of these spears, she couldn't get out of the way in time. Two spears had managed to find their way into her body, piercing a leg and her abdomen. Her mana skin had prevented these spears from getting any further to avoid any lethal injuries, but it still hurt immensely, and she still was bleeding there on the ground in the snow.[break][break]
The brunette had to jump to get out of the way, but her body wouldn't let her avoid the attack. She screamed out in agony, but amidst her screams her grimoire opened up, as she transformed her pained screams into words, incoherent. "Summ...oner Creation... Magic! Despair Billy! Strike the weak point...!"[break][break]
The Candycane Titan seemed to be recuperating a bit, staggered. It might not have felt pain, but golems still needed to function accordingly. Their existence, which was made of mana, was bound to be affected in some form, even by the most minute amount from being caught up in her carbon chains. This gave Billy a decisive chance in securing a final blow with its bare hands, attacking the focused area since the beginning of the fight. The result ended up giving her Billy just enough of an advantage to destroy the titan.[break][break]
Verena had won, but she had almost completely drained herself in the process, and still taken a major hit to her mana skin. It couldn't truly be called a win, she felt, but the Reinsberg would worry about that later. It would have just been better to let Bengal done all of this.... he was stronger... and because of her, other people could have gotten hurt.[break][break]
But for now, she wanted to rest. Her mana skin might have kept her from dying, but she was overwhelmingly exhausted and in a great deal of pain. At least with the titan gone, the candy cane spears also dispersed. And at least, with the candy cane golem gone, things could return to normal in Nairn. It was over.[break][break]
That's what she told herself at least. [break][break]

Description: Visually, a disturbing golem. One that someone wouldn't have thought possible from someone like Verena. However, Kikka did have an impact on her aesthetic. To counter her own fear of the macabre, she decided that she would instead embrace it, to confront it, and ultimately tame it. And thus, Despair Billy was born. A golem manifested from her own fear.[break][break]
Despair Billy appears as a giant patchwork doll--closer in design to a voodoo doll than anything else. It's body is crafted from various types of cloth of different colors. The bulk of its body is the same color as a burlap sack, whereas its right arm is colored a sickly looking yellow. This same yellow appears on the top right of its head, whereas the left half of its head is a lifeless blue blue. It possesses no neck, and from its right shoulder to the start of its left forearm, as well as its left part of its chest and rib cage is red. A heart can be seen stitched on on the opposite side of its body, albeit crudely attached on to it. It is easily taller by a considerable degree than a human being, standing at six meters in height.[break][break]
Though the golem is capable of transporting up to two people, the speed at which it is capable of doing so is no more than [10 m/s]. "Billy" has enough power to knockback people when swinging with its arms to send them back four meters, plus an additional [5m] for every [10] in [POW] it possesses. Unlike Verena's other golems, Billy is suited primarily for attacking, though it still keeps up with Verena's primary objective of not killing, as the strikes from it are all blunt. It can cause great harm compared to her other golems, but it is still very unlikely to kill a person(s).[break]

Satori felt the shift in her ki as she decided to give herself an opening using herself as bait. He had to admire that determination. Even as the spears launched, he didn't intervene. Instead, he simply watched as they slammed into her fragile body. Yet she retained her concentration, dealing the final blows to handle the enemy. Grunting once in his chest Satori lifted both hands up and clapped them together.
"Well done, Verena." He stated simply, stepping forward as his hand lifted and suddenly placed itself atop her head. Mana flowing from him to infuse into her body. Biting into her flesh as the wounds began to rapidly mend together, her mana skin instantly recovering while he worked. Lifting his hand afterward as his gaze shifted toward the town center. The ground quaked. He sucked his teeth.
"But we're not done yet. Shit really is repeating perfectly, I suppose." He murmured simply before lifting up both hands and offering her them this time instead of simply scooping her up. "Quickly, please." He stated simply, clearly fully intent to scoop her up again if she took too long.
