The dremora siblings receive their new "enhanced" blades with a certain curiosity, Uzarai showing particular interest.
"What exactly did you do?" Uzarai asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.
"I have an affinity for blood magic. Which means I can alter my blood to become something beneficial or something detrimental." Secessus replies whilst summoning some dark mana. This mana swirling around his arms looks like an essence of the night itself.
The green emerald eyes turn entirely black. The dark mana that surrounds him makes his way to the dremora sibling, swiftly encasing them. It looks strangely as if their own shadow is surrounding them. But it is not, as It's still there, next to them on the ground.
Secessus looks focused, showing grit and determination.
The dremora sibling seeing this concentration decide to stop asking more question.
"Uzarai, aim for vitals, his berserker state will allow him to ignore most injuries." Uzalla commands in a stern voice.
"I'll g..." Uzarai tries to respond.
"AARGH" a loud battle cry interrupts the conversation. Ulthris Kaahen has made his way to the trio.
The blisters that cover his entire body have grown more grotesque. They've grown larger in size and once they touch another blister, then both of them seem to pop.
The raging large lava stone orc rushes towards them, like a bull charging its target.
"Charge him! Keep him away from Secessus!" Uzalla yells as she charges forward.
Uzarai immediately follows his sibling's lead. Quickly, coming face to face, Ulthris strikes first using reckless strength. Uzalla, the target of the attack, manages to dodge, using a simple deviation to narrowly change direction. In response, she goes for an immediate strike on his neck. The great sword she wields finally manages to cut through a fair amount, as she manages to cut the muscle tissue. The disgusting poisonous out pour comes in contact with dark mana surrounding her, not managing to burn through this shield of mana. It drips on the ground, a small sizzling sound created with each drip.
The younger dremora, Uzarai doesn't miss his chance, wielding his blades as he goes for the back of Uthris's head. The berserking orc is not a stationary target, however, and his unpredictable pattern made Uzarai narrowly miss.
"Keep going!" Uzalla yells, fixing her stance.
The Dremora sibling, with their enhanced weapons and shield against the burning liquid. Do no retreat from Ulthris kaahen. They continue to dodge and slash at every possible angle whilst Secessus focus on protecting them.
Quickly, they make a lot of process. In just 1 minute, they've done more damage than during the rest of the fight.
The fight has now officially turned in their favor. Seeing this, the warriors wield their weapons with more vigor and continue attacking their opponent.
Ulthris Kaahen is wounded badly. The skin around his neck is almost no more, the only reason that bone and muscle tissue are hard to see is because of the disgusting puss covering it.
The fight has turned into torture for the orcish leader. The pain caused him to lose every slither of rationality he once had. In this embroiling anger, he ignores the dremora attacks.
There is only one thing on his mind. The instinct to kill and destroy.
In a fit of instinctual rage, Ulthris throws "Schweres Herz" at an incredible speed. Uzarai who stands close by elegantly dodges the great war hammer.
A loud impact sound follows, at the same moment that the dark mana surrounding the siblings flickers.
"Seccessus! Are you alright!" Uzarai yells, turning around, trying to get a visual. He doesn't see anything, however, as the place where "Schweres Herz" has impacted, created a cloud of dust.
"Stay Focused!" Uzalla yells, seeing her sibling distracted.
Another out pour of Puss makes it way towards Uzalla. This time, it does burn its way through the weakened dark mana shield.
A painful groan comes out of her mouth as she's forced to create some distance. Uzarai immediately faces Ulthris again after hearing his sister and commander's words.
He was too late however, Ulthris who is now weaponless managed to punch him straight in the gut. Knocking the wind out of him. Not stopping his attack, Ulthris jumps on top of Uzarai and continues to pound his physically weaker opponent.
Uzarai tries to block desperately, each punch doing a large amount of damage. The sound of snapping bones is mixed with the loud grunts of the fighters.
Uzalla again rushes forward with only one thing in mind. The rules of the order resounding in her mind.
"Protect your kin, avenge your kin, find honor and purpose in battle and guide the lost souls."
Strict rules command a certain sense of impossibility. Honor is rarely found in battle. Protecting your kin is a fleeting effort during the chaos. Avenging them, a luxury that not many can afford.
The back of Ulthris's already weakened neck is wide open. A final slash could end this battle. The dark mana surrounding the dremora warriors had weakened, however. Meaning that the burning liquid that will land on Uzarai as a consequence of decapitating Ulthris could cost his life.
An inner turmoil stormed in the female dremora's head. The purpose of this battle was to kill Ulthis and honor the pledge she made to herself to repay her debt.
How much is that worth?
Is it worth risking the life of her family member. The last one remaining after the war against the faded.
Whilst in these thoughts, a sudden change happened. Shadows reached out to Uzarai, pulling him in towards his own.
Uzalla, experienced as she is in battle. Quickly recognizes the meaning and purpose of this development.
Without a doubt in her mind remaining, she slashes the back of Ulthris's neck. Decapitating him like an executioner would, a prisoner sentenced to be beheaded.
A mix of puss and blood pours out of the detached neck towards Uzarai. The shadows pulled him quickly with a clear sense of urgency. Shallowing him in a matter of seconds.
Uzalla turns around towards the cloud of dust that "Schweres Herz" created.
The cloud has almost dispersed, and 2 figures are clear to see.
One that of her brother being pulled out of some sort of black hole. The other is Secessus, pulling Uzarai out of that some black hole.
They both look a little worse for wear. Uzarai's face has been heavily pummeled. His right eye case almost shattered. Secessus seems to have been blown away by some sort of impact, most likely caused by that one throw of "Schweres Herz".
Even still, there was only one conclusion that was important.
They survived and managed to beat their opponent.
