Ru and Zeran were still at it with their lively and passionate duel of fiery petals. The crowd of Goddesses were now sitting at the benches provided, while their eyes were glued unto the budding couple's fight that was filled with love taps. Sooner or later, Ru wore a determined smile mixed with devious intent, as she casted out with her kitchen knife that was held high into the primordial divine sky, while she was floating above,
"NIGHTMARE SHIFT!".
Ru was engulfed by a surge of dark turbulence and butterflies that were carrying amethyst gemstones beneath their fluttering wings. The next moment, the dark cyclone with dancing butterflies that were shrouding her before had dispersed. Thereon, her awesome primal appearance was revealed, proving she was back on her true form that would smite fear and arousal to any mere mortal. Though, her whole appearance didn't have that much changes but, her number of tails have multiplied into four and the sclera of her eyes turned into the color of the abyss, while her pupils became more and more entrancing, as they were gleaming in radiant gold, glaring their divine vibrant glow such as they had their own holistic burning aura. Her back was spewing out immense fragments of purple stardust that looked-like those were her wings of energy, even though they weren't. Her kitchen knife turned into a very long katana that was gleaming its amazing purplish aura and the reflection of its user. Its blade was very sharp, that can even cut through the hardest steel and diamond. While for her sniper, it didn't have that much drastic changes, instead it was just spewing out magical butterflies blended in the colors and hues of pure white and daring purple. Ru even felt the changes in her form, making her to say in her thoughts,
("Thanks to those artifacts that my beloved Zera had retrieved for me...")
("I'm back at my full power...").
As Zeran saw her all-powerful form of a Goddess in her primal appearance, he was awe-inspired. He was seeing her more and more beautiful than ever before even though, she was a dark Goddess cloaked in the aura of terror. Thereupon, he compliments her, while his smile was reaching the heavens,
"Wow...looking good Ru!".
Ru smirked as her foxy ears heard his compliment over her, although her response to him was a sudden Icarus dive with her katana that was aimed to smite him down. Hopefully, Zeran was able to dodge her sudden attack in the nick of time. More than that, he noticed that Ru's movements were faster for some reason. Sadly, Ru didn't give him any leeway, as she casted, while she was pointing her sniper at Zeran,
"ABYSSAL BLAST!".
She pulled the trigger and her sniper shot out a fast moving plasmatic bullet slathered in pinkish petals. Zeran tried to dodge but, the magical bullet divided itself into several bullets and homed on him, turning him to be scraped and to be damaged mildly by the mystical shots that can't ever miss their target. As he felt her darts of passion, he whistled. Though, soon enough, he just brought out a blueberry chip cookie and ate it to replenish his life force. Ru was witnessing that Zeran was eating her handmade cookies in their lovely duel, so she blushed like she was a pleased newlywed housewife and said in her thoughts,
("Awww...he's eating the cookies that I made for him...even for our lovely duel...")
("But...that won't be necessary for this...").
Sooner or later, she casted out,
"DIMENSION SEAL!".
The strange thing is it seemed like nothing happened in particular, as she casted out that grand spell, turning Zeran to be dumbfounded and tilt his head. Though, he felt that his wounds weren't fully healed yet, so he tried to take out another piece of cookie from his personal dimension inventory although, nothing came out, making him to realize that his special ability was sealed by her previous spell. His face was sweating nervously, as his signature ability was barred from using. He looked at the floating Ru above and said in an awkward manner,
"U-ummm Ru? Don't tell me...you...".
Ru responds in advance, while she was masking a devious smirk aided by her crossed arms posing with great pride,
"Yes my dear Zera..."
"I just sealed your ACE IN THE HOLE..."
"Your very dimension inventory...".
Then, Zeran was in his thoughts, as he heard her statement,
("Uh-oh...I'm so deads now...").
He expressed with an embarrassing look and said like he was feeling very down,
"Errr...you don't wanna get married with me?".
The air became giddy. Ru's fluffy ears twitched and felt nervous too since, her intentions wasn't proving her denial, rather she's very much eager for his daring offer inside her gradually beating heart, so she replies quickly in order to correct his intuition about her sudden actions of limiting his capabilities in their duel,
"Oh...i-it's not that...j-just prove your love to me in this N-NEARLY HOPELESS FIGHT..."
"H-HERO...".
As he was noticing that Ru was feeling nervous judging from her actions and the tone of her voice, his assumptions over her had took a different turn, boosting his motivation once again and wore an interesting smile. He stanced himself like a confident warrior and closed his eyes to think of a way to prove his love for her. Ru held her chest and calmed down, since she almost made him to misunderstand her daring actions and to drop his interest over her. Afterwards, Zeran opened his eyes that were filled with optimism and determination, since he already knew the way on how to win her heart in their lovely battle. He nodded and said,
"Okay...I'll do what I can...".
As for the divine audience, they were still hooked-up on the romantic searing battle of Ru and Zeran such as they were fascinated over a movie or something, even Shunya was eating popcorn. Mai was puzzled, as she heard Ru's condition in order for Zeran to win, turning Mai to ask Arseia. Arseia replied and told her that her son has absolute odds of winning the unusual duel. Moreover, Arseia told Mai to look at Zeran and Ru's expressions on their faces. Mai wasn't sure on what Arseia had meant at first, although Mai took a closer look at their faces that seemed like they were confident teenagers having the most fun in their lives. Thereon, Mai was convinced that Zeran would win the fight hands down, turning her to express an ounce of joy in her thoughts,
("I'm glad you found your true happiness Zen...").
Ru was still letting out lots of quick flurries with her swinging katana, although Zeran was just dodging them in the right moment. Ru had paused for a second and thought of something, while she was touching her sexy lip. Then, she says to herself,
"Hmmm...I wonder how a roasted Zera would taste like?".
Suddenly, she had stopped touching her lip and licked her succulent lips such as her sadistis eyes of hearts upon him were seeing him as some kind of delicious meal. She flung her sword upwards and casted, while she was swinging her butterfly sniper,
"BURST FLARE!".
Afterwards, her sniper acted like a flamethrower and bursted out its purple flaming spray that would cook anyone's *ss into perfection that was directed unto Zeran's range. Thereon, Zeran dove to the ground in order to not get fried from her beautiful moving flames. Zeran wasn't shocked nor scared instead, he replies to her rhetorical question from before, with a charming smile,
"I bet...It won't be tasty...".
Ru responds to his rebuttal and said,
"Oh well♪..."
"I guess I'll just finish this raw...".
She descended down unto the ground and let her heels feel the earthy soil. Then her sword descended near her and she grabbed it again. Zeran got up but, he didn't rush upon taking her down, while she was vulnerable on the ground, instead he just gave her a nod in respect. Ru nodded in response and casted out,
"DARK METEOR RAIN!".
There was a huge purple pentagram that appeared above the clouds. Afterwards, the large violet otherworldly meteors emerged and fell from the sky, heading towards, the colliseum's battleground. Thereupon, Zeran kept dodging the falling meteorites that came from another world. More than that, he was getting near and near Ru's range, while he was evading the falling collisions of those burning rock-hard meteorites. Strangely enough, the other Goddesses weren't affected by the meteorites since the meteorites' range was only small, turning Shunya to eat her popcorn without any interruption. Ru was noticing that Zeran was getting near her, turning her heart to beat faster than ever. Though, she still tried to play hard-to-get by casting out, while she was aiming at Zeran with her sniper,
"ABYSS SHOT!".
As she pulled the trigger, a blue flaming bullet was heading towards Zeran. Zeran was a few paces away from her and dodged that exact moment, turning him to dodge his last obstacle. Afterwards, he rushed his way towards her. Ru closed her eyes and threw all her weapons away. Thereon, Zeran was able to embrace her, as he had contact with her. Ru hugged him with her angel-like arms in return. The two of them felt each others synchronized hearts and innate warmth that would be the most blissful thing in the world, turning them to be in their own trance, in which there were no more barriers that would obstruct their very passionate love. Their world turned into the pure color of white. Ru smiled and praised him for his utter victory, while she was wearing the smile of a true Goddess,
"So...you figured it out huh..."
"Also Zera...I happily accept your offer...".
Zeran replies softly,
"Thank you...my dark Goddess Ru...".
