" You bastard, I won't...! " Silent says as he then hears the voices in her mind.
"~ Kill him! Kill! ~"
" Kill! " Silent says as she then releases the aura of the [Black Spirit Ki], the Demonic Ki she possesses, inherited from her Martial Arts Ancestors for ages.
" Kill the enemy... "
" For the 'Hive Stinger Clan's honor! "
" For the honor of Martial Arts! " Silent says as she prepares her Stances.
[ Black Spirit Stance: Demonic Assault Stand ]
" Oh, so you're giving me the 'stance' huh!? " Adrian responded as he sees it.
" So it seems our second round has officially started then, alright. "
" 'Have at thee' " Adrian says as he releases one of his Absorbed Abilities.
[ Greed & Gluttony: Absorbed Ability Release ]
[ Storm Bringer Thunder Beam ]
[ A Thunder from the dead Asgardian god, this Gift Thunder is powerful enough to obliterate any opponents with its storming blast. ]
" Hmph... " Silent responds as she then prepares for it, then confronts the very attack he touched while being filled with the power of her Ki.
" Weak! "
[ Black Spirit Swirl: Demon Palm Deflect ]
As she deflects that beam of Thunder, she then faces more of Adrian's released ability from [Armada Sword], [Spartan's Wrath], [Thunder's Love], [Hunter Wisps], [Arrow Rain], and etc etc etc.
While in contrast, Silent Stinger uses her [Black Spirit Hands: Demonic Fist Clap], [Black Spirit Hands: Demonic Fist Barrage], [Black Spirit Force: Demonic Deflect Counter], and [Black Spirit Force: Demonic Slayer Cutter Energy Penetration Sword].
" Gaahhh, f*k!!! " Adrian shouts as he's being cut by Silent's Energy Sword ability, as she manifests her Ki-made sword using her hands.
" You, goddamn woman, enough with uggkkhh!!! "
" You'll pay for that! "
" [Spartan's...], huh!!!? " Adrian says as he suddenly can't use the [Spartan's Wrath] ability.
"( What the hell...!? )" Adrian wonders as he suddenly felt pain in his body.
"( Something is wrong inside me, what... )"
" Your powers won't help you, outsider! " Silent says as she sees Adrian finally having the effects.
" Release all of it, use it all, I will destroy it anytime! " Silent continues to attack as she uses the [Black Spirit Force: Demonic Slayer Cutter Energy Penetration Sword] again in order to attack Adrian.
" Grhh..., goddamn woman! "
" Stop playing tricks and die! " Adrian says as he releases it to attack Silent, but Silent seems to be too powerful with [Black Spirit Ki] enhancing her as she immediately slashes everything Adrian can unleash with the Ki Sword she used.
"( No goddamn way, she just cut through the abilities I have! )"
"( And dammit, after it cuts it, why I..., no... )"
"( Why [Greed & Gluttony] can't even use it again, the absorbed abilities that have been cut by her! )" Adrian realizes something dangerous is happening to him right now, something he's unaware of, underlooked for it seems Silent Stinger here had some arsenals unknown to him since she came from another type of world where his knowledge of battle is mostly unprepared for what's to come.
" Grhhh..., Dammit all! "
" [Warmonger Blade]!!! " Adrian says as he uses the Blade Ability that uses Divine Energy to shape its form which he used to fight Sielnt's Ki Sword as they continue to Clash while Adrian just releases all abilities he's been stored for quite some time.
" [ Frost Fire Blast ] !!! "
* [Frost fire blast] was cut by Silent's Ki Sword.*
" [ Fire Cannon Bomb ] !!! "
" [ Fire Cannon Bomb ] was also cut by Silent's Ki Sword.*
" It's useless, outsider! "
" Release every ability you have, I dare you!? "
" I tell you earlier didn't I that I will destroy it! "
" Anytime! " Silent slashes Adrian's transformed hand, by lengthening her Ki Sword's blade as it destroys the rest that had been chopped off thanks to the Black Spirit Ki.
As the battle continues, Adrian begins to be more furious regarding his constant power loss each time he made contact with Silent's Ki Sword that could tear every Ability he has, gods' Abilities by the way. Logically, no human could ever destroy a Gift and a Sin Ability.
" Something is wrong! [Greed & Gluttony] is having a hard time maintaining itself! "
" Why the I feel that something is destroyed within it!? "
" No!!! " Adrian says as Silent attacks him again.
" Grhh..., [Neptune Shell]!!! " Adrian unleashes it but it was useless for the Shell was immediately destroyed, during its destruction, Adrian felt something entering his hands, something he realized the reason why he slowly keeps losing the abilities that he gained after many years.
"( Dammit, it hurts... )"
"( Each time her Ki-made sword-thing touches me, I always felt like a jolt of painful and destructive energy suddenly enters my body and wound me from the inside. )"
"( I didn't know what it is, but surely this has something to do with what they called 'Martial Arts' Internal Body Attacks', right? )" Adrian feels it beside him knowing, the energy that penetrates his internals approaches one of the Cores he absorbed, stored in his [Greed & Gluttony]s large Sin Core which the destructive energy approached and destroys one of the Cores inside.
Which is the Core that is responsible for the [Neptune Shell] ability, it was broken, hence Adrian could never use it again.
" Grhhh..., you broke my [Neptune Shell]!!!? " Adrian was so angry as he unleashes all of it while Silent Slashes it all.
" Is this all you've got!? "
"Are these the abilities you said to absorb for years gone by!?
" I'm disappointed...! " Silent says as she charges at full speed.
[ Black Spirit Dash: Demonic Charge Boost ]
" Grrhhh, you're...! " Adrian says as he decided to face her using Ranged Gift Abilities in order to stop her, despite him knowing that Ranged Gift Abilities are slightly weaker than close combat Gifts for some natural and Divine Reasons.
But knowing Adrian's great ego to always win, he uses all of it, if it means destroying him, he would never accept the idea of him, losing to those he mocked for every reason he had.
He solely believes that he is the Winner, in all realms, for 'he' had the Talent, the Gifts, the Looks, the Finances, the Power...
" Listen Stinger woman!!! "
" Just because you transformed and unleash that overpowered Ki of yours!!! "
" It would not change anything!!! you're still a loser before me!!! " Adrian says as he remembers his origin told by the doctors who adopted him. Remembering the result of his DNA Test which actually boosted his ego to its peak.*
" I am the True Gifted one, I was born f*king special!!! " Adrian says while unleashing it all, despite Silent destroying it with her Ki Sword and Energy Penetration.
She doesn't back down, her unmatched will to destroy, enhanced by the [Black Spirit Ki]s influence had made her unstoppable in these view hours of battle, even if Adrian had to bombard her with many of his Gifts, she still manages to face it and even destroy it one by one.
" Is that all!? " Silent says as her voice is enhanced while she is full on her [Black Spirit Ki].
" Is that the Gifts you have!? "
" You, the outsider who already destroys those I cared about! "
" I thought you might be some worthy opponent for this Ki! "
" But the fact, I only see a disappointment, such a disappointment! " Silent says as she attacks Adrian with [ Black Spirit Sword: Demonic Wave Slash ].
"Disappointment, you said! " Adrian was triggered as he hears that which really hurts his ego.
[ Adrian's memories. ]
( Years ago, before meeting Raiden. )
" Adrian, you're the most gifted of them all..., you were born unlike the other kids, you were special from the start... " said the doctor who adopted him back then.
" Why? doctor? "
" Why are you saying that? who are my parents? huh! " Adrian was interrupted back then as the doctor gave him the test results that shows Adrian's result, showing the parents whom he originated from.
Seeing that, Adrian felt happy, he felt joy after realizing the reason for his specialness, is because... "
" No way, my father is... "
[ Memory Ended. ]
"Disappointment, you said? "
" Watch your goddamn mouth!!! " Adrian unleashes another Gift, a Gift he stores inside [Greed & Gluttony] as his last resort of things, as when he unleashes that, he destroys the Wave Energy Slash that approaches him as he shows his unleashed Gift.
" You're goddamn wrong, woman! " he steps forward.
[ Greed & Gluttony: Absorbed Ability Activated ]
" I am Special! " Adrian says as he stares at Silent.
"( What kind of energy he's unleashing? I sensed it... )"
"( This is no longer a Gift Energy that most Gifted humans have, this is something more... )"
"( What is... )" Silent says as she becomes weary of Adrian's change.
" You may try to match with me with what you called effort, done by training or whatever... "
" But let me tell you this... " Adrian says as he shows the change he experienced.
[ Divine Gift: Neptune Storm Form ]
" Even with your efforts and innovation... "
" The likes of you have something that can't be changed which is... " Adrian then approached silently, appearing before her with an undetectable speed.
" Huh... " Silent was shocked as she instinctively tries to prepare but Adrian already put his hand on her neck, grabbing it.
" No matter how hard you try, or how much effort you do... " Adrian says as he unleashes a skill upon Silent Stinger.
[ Neptune Storm Strike ]
" You will never, defeat God!!! " Adrian says as he then remembers what he sees in that DNA Test result that shows that he, was half-Divine.
