Date: It is now the day of Rimuru vs Ifrit. It's not the time for the fight though..
As opposed to the Sung Jin Woo vs Y/n
Your/Regulus Pov.
I stood with my hands behind my back. Ramiris had probably fainted looking at the damage that had been cause to the Labyrinth by now. I am sorry Ramiris, but thiis far from the damage about to occur.
I glared at the man in front of me who had, for some reason, made my death his life goal. He seemed to still be in a daze due to gospel's illusions that had just been dispelled.
What was up with her anyway. Why did she get so insistent on fighting Jin Woo? Does she think I can't win against him? How dare she assume something like that?! That's a violation of my rights!!
...wait what? Isn't she just worried?
...Where did I get this sudden jolt of anger from? Its similar from the time I fought Igris...Something's not right...
I didn't have time for this right now though...
Sung Jin Woo had recovered from his sudden shock.
He stared at me for a few seconds before flaring his Aura that took form of black energy that emanated from his feet and shoulders.
I understood the messagw loud and clear.
'No more holding back'
I flared my own magic in the form of the white flames from baran as a response making sure my message was loud and clear as well.
'Fine by me.'
We looked at each other
He stared emotionlessly while I looked amused.
He frowned while I smiled.
And then he charged.
*Gospel's Pov*
What a predicament...
It was my previous master who was a piece of shit vs my current master who was arrogant yet kind.
Yes. He was Kind. Why else would he send Reinhard and Elsa to the ogre village to warn them of the orc dissaster even though he was sure they would not believe him?
Why Else would he send Hatti and Puck to Tempest to make sure Ifrit caused less damage than before?
He was arrogant. Oh god, he was so arrogant. But that arrogance was justified.
...But I loved my previous master as well. The way he ruthlessly slaughtered everyone in his path. The way he stood at the top of the food chain as the apex predator...he was my invincible master.
...He didn't care about me like how my new master does but...
...As expected...I can't choose between the two...
This is the fate of the abused I suppose...despite us knowing how wrong the one abusing is...we just can't help but drawn to them even though our...no, my light is right there...
I am not useless though.
I am the gospel of the witches that has seen every possible outcome of everything that has ever happened.
I am omnisciesnt to a certain extent, but I don't need to use all that knowledge right now.
I searched my memories for the three most probable endings to the fight. Of course I wouldn't look through everything. The possibilities was infinite. Not to mention most would be pointless.
The possibilities went from serious stuff like the tenma war happening early or The Monarch of Berserk Dragons finding his way to this world to absolutely stupid shit like Doraemon coming in between the two and making them find a common ground.
The future is wild.
I saw the three possible outcomes and it was the most obvious.
Win, loss or draw.
I knew what I had to do.
*Your/Regulus Pov*
Jin Woo Charged at me with two daggers in hand and swinging one at my neck while the other went for my head.
They both shattered on impact milimeters away from my skin.
Sung Jin Woo made no motion that would indicate shock rather he just kicked me in the stomach causing me to fly a couple of meters away.
He summoned another then another and then another. He continued till there were probably two to three dozen of them flying in the air behind him.
He swiped his hand in front of him. The daggers started to circle around him at insanely high speeds making them nothing but blurs.
'Rulers authority...' I though to my self as I saw the tips of the various blades point towards me. He jumped up as the circle of blades sped towards me. Up in the air he summoned two more daggers and threw both of them at me at a speed that shoudn't be possible.
I yawned.
The daggers all just barely made contact with my body before competely disintergrating.
I heard Sung Jin Woo click his tounge in frustration.
I could understand the frustration. Not being to attack your enemy even though he was right their.
My father's face immediately came to mind for some reason.
I understood the feeling completely.
I just didn't care.
I gave a small chuckle. "What's the matter Shadow Monarch? I thought you would be stronger than the other two since they seemed to follow you but you seem to be barely above them." I tilted my head in a mocking manner at the end.
He snarled. He summoned the demon kings Broadsword. I guess he's getting angry.
He swung the sword, creating a shockwave that tore open the earth below, as it reached me however it just split into two. I wonder if he'll find it suspicious, my hair not moving in the air from the shockwave.
He crouched a bit before charging at me again with the sword in his hand. Just as he reached me he flipped above me and attempted to strike my head with the sword only for it to dissipate into nothjng when it came into contact with my skin.
He summoned two daggers. I heard a faint "dagger rush" before he dissapeared and started to strike me from all directions.
It was honestly quite cute.
"Attempting the same action and expecting new results is a sign of madness you know. Are you perhaps going mad realising your own weakne-"
"Quiet!!"
He interrupted me and my mouth started moving on its own.
"Huh?! Who are you to interrupt me while I talk?! Are you aware of how rude that is?! Do you think you are cool for interrupting someone or something?! This is a violation of my rights!!"
I immediately clutched my own throat with wide eyes and fell to mt knees.
I-I don't know what's happening...why did my mouth speak on its own. Where is this anger coming from?! What the fuck is happening to me?!
Sung Jin Woo seems to have noticed me clutching my Throat and stopped with the barrage of attacks. I sighed. I rose to my feet again.
"What?" I asked with a smirk. He can probably see through my fake smirk, but just like me earlier. He doesn't care.
He threw one last dagger, bot sure why but he decided to throw one last dagger at me.
The dagger was headed straight at my right eye. I made no attempt to move.
Why should I when the dagger would just shatter anyway...but then I felt it. For the first time since coming to this world I felt a chill of fear down mh spine. Yelling at me to move away. I decided to not listen and then just as it became to late for me to move.
I felt the breeze blow my hair.
*Sung Jin Woo Pov*
"What?" The guy, Regulus asked with a clearly fake smirk.
What had happened? Why had he just started Ranting for no reason? Did he really find me interrupting him this rude?
Some how I doubt it. You don't fall to your knees and clutch your throat after some rude words.
I had one last dagger left that hadn't been destroyed by him yet. Thank fully the demon king's broad sword could be repaired. After all it was energy.
I summoned the dagger, A black razor sharp dagger the size of my arm with the blade being the size of my fore arm. I stretched my arm back before throwing it like a baseball. At a speed enough to be just be called a blur charged at Regulus' right eye. He didn't move as expected. He didn't think thr dagger posed a damger to him which was true.
I was ready to use Ruler's Authority when.
*Squelch*
The dagger had gone straight through Regulus' eyes and was sticking out of the back of his skull.
He himself had an astonished look on his face and stumbled back with his spine arched backward.
So did I win? I wish.
Theres no way the person who came back from dead would be this easy to kill.
As if to prove my point, he slammed his feet on the ground as he stood back up, stumbling forward a bit. He gave a yell before grabbing the handle of the dagger and taking the dagger out of his skull with a sick sounding squelch...
That was metal.
*Your/Regulus pov*
It hurts.
It hurts.It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts so fucking bad!!
I stumbled back both both in pain and shock combined with the force of the dagger burying itself into my skull, but I can't just turn over and die now...
'Tis but a scratch.
I slammed my feet on the ground in an attempt to ballance my self before standing up. I stumbled forward a bit but managed to not fall forward face first.
Now the hard part.
I grabbed the handle of the dagger. It felt like fire coursing through the inside of my skull as I attemeted to take it out.
It hurts so fucking bad!
"AAAAAAHHHHHH" I gave a loud yell as I finally manged to take the dagger out. Authority of lust did its work and healed me instantly.
"Hehe..." I chuckled as I twirled the dagger around in my fingers. "Hahahahaha!!" I tilted my body to the side, staring at Sung Jin Woo with a mocking smile. "Not even close baby!!Y/n never loses!!!" He seemed confused at who's name I just took but I didn't pay it any heed.
I held my arms open, revealing my chest to what ever attack he threw at me, mocking him, Daring him to come at me.
There was something else on my mind though.
Regulus: Gospel....what did you do..?
Gospel:...
Regulus: Gospe-
Gospel: Yoi said you didn't want to win with my Illusions and yet you are using Greed, a basically cheat code Ability. Isn't that a bit hypocritical?
Regulus:....
Gospel: My previous master was a bit like you, you know. A Hypocrite. All though on a different plane of existense as opposed to you. But...he was still my Invincible master. Even though it was only thanks to Greed. I refuse to acknowledge you as my master if you only use greed like him...
Regulus:...fine then...
I dropped my hands and unbottened the coat.
Its a rather great inconvenience when used while fighting. I dropped the coat on the ground showing the white shirt I wore underneath.
Regulus: I'll prove it to you. That I alone am the strongest here.
I twirlled the dagger in my fingers before using Vainglory to summon an exact copy before elongating both of them making then more akin to sabres.
Gospel:...Vainglory turned off.
I stepped on the coat on the ground, using pride to tear it to smithereens.
I had no intention of wearing that coat ever again.
Gospel:...pride turned off.
That's fine...
Regulus: I'll prove it to you.
I started walking toward Sung Jin Woo who had Summoned Kamish's Wrath. Shouldering one blade while the other hung low in the palms of the other hand.
He started walking towards me as well. There A jojo reffrence here that i refuse to make but you get which one.
Regulus: That its not Regulus who is the strongest.
We continued walking towards each other he had positioned both his daggers in a backward grips while I hung my sword low dragging the tips across the floor causing sparks to fly in all directions.
Regulus: its not Regulus. Its not Guy crimson. It's not Veldora. It's not Rimuru. Its Me. Not Regulus...
The two of us stopped and faced each other. It was a mirror image from the scene before. Just a lot more intense.
He had a scowl where I had a viscious smile.
He had a dark glare where my eyes danced in amusement and mirth
Y/n: So feel free to turn all the sins off.
Gospel:...
Y/n: I am the the strongest. Not this front of Regulus Cornes.
The two of us crouched in a bow putting power into our legs as we prepared what would most probably be the strongest opponent either of us had faced.
Y/n: I y/n L/n Am the strongest!!
And then we charged.
We both charged at each other ready to take the others head off. He gave continuous jabs at me only for them all to heal and then when he felt just a bit fatigued. I striked like a snake looking for its prey to weaken, holding both the sabres up to my eye level I striked at his chest only for him to block it with one of the daggers, the one with the gold handle before striking at my head with the black handled dagger.
I kicked his chest before backflipping away in an attempt to dodge the incoming attack.
Before he could react. The white flames from Baran swirled around my swords. I charged once again with the swords leaving a flaming white trail as I circled around him.
I went straight for the neck only tk be intercepted by his daggers again. This time however, the flames that had created a trail started swirling around him. I smirked before jumping high up. The swirling Fire slowly formed the shape of a chinese dragon before rising up and stopping behind my right sword. He could only watch and brace him self as my arms turned black from the strength enhancements of lust as I simultaneously added melancholyn to increase the gravity of my sword, before I fell down with multiple flip, the dragon following my sword where ever it went, swirling around me like a protective cocoon before making impact with Sung Jin Woo's Daggers that he had held up in an X formation as an attempt to brace himself for the impact as well as the impact that would be caused.
My swords made contact with the daggers but before he could dodge the fire in my swords vaniahed as I used melancholy to dodged the incoming dragon.
It made a direct hit with Sung Jin Woo, exploding on impact, it vaporised the top layer of the ground and glassed the ground under him forming a crater that was roughly 7 meters deep and 17 meters wide.
The normal person would be burn to a crisp. Not even their Ashes would remain
But Sung Jin Woo was hardly a normal Person.
The flames gave way as though afraid of him as he walked out of the flames with a couple of minor burns that were healing pretty quickly. He swung his Blades in front of him dispelling all the flames in the wind the swing created.
Like a bad ass.
He held one dagger in a back ward grip while the other was in a normal grip and held them in front of him. His eyes shined a brief silver before he disappeared.
...I know that position...
Mutilate.
I quickly tried to activate Melancholy's shield-
Gospel: Melanholy turned off
Hmph. Fine be that way.
I looked around for any attempt of a strike, then I realised something.
Mutilate targetted the specific weak points of all opponents.
Who knew my own weak point better than anyone else than my self?
I combined both Beru and Igris' Hand to hand combat skills and sword skills...
It was trouble some to use two sword with Igris' Great sword Skill set, and I couldn't fight him bare handed using beru's hand to hand combat style.
So, I did a little out of the box thinking. I combined both skill sets and now, using my sword's like claws I deffended my most obvious weak point.
My back.
I turned around just as he was about to dig both daggers through my spinal cord which would've left me paralyzed.
I intercepted both the daggers using my left sword before striking at his chest with my right sword. He jumped back, but I knew this wasn't the end as I continued to deffend my weak point.
My neck, my thighs, my hips, my guts and then finally my back again.
But this was Sung Jin Woo. If it was this easy to defend against strikes there would be a lot more enemies for him. I stood with multiple cuts and a little bit of blood on my smirking lips. The wounds all were quickly healing up though.
I am the strongest though.
I can't claim something like that If I am incompetent can I?
He had multiple wounds him self all of which were healing up almost as fast as myself.
I suppose you could say I returned a hit for every strik I received.
"Is that it?"I asked in a mocking tone. All my wounds had allready healed anyway.
My swords caught fire again but this time I didn't bother running at him.
Held swords up in a cross before swinging them down as a fiery wall disrupted his vision. He swung his own daggers as the fire dissipated. It was barely noticeable for just a second but his eyes were wide as he stared at me.
He was surprised, as would anyone be if they saw the two white fiery chinese dragons that floated behind me.
I raised one sword up to eye level the tip facing the side with the edge facing Sung Jin Woo.
"My turn" i faced the tip of the sword to Sung Jin Woo while twirling the other in my hand.
One of the dragons charges at Sung Jin Woo who started to run and attempte to dodge the attacks.
As he is occupied the other dragon starts to lose it's shape as it starts to swirl around the other sword, slowly turning into something akin to a storm of raging white flames.
I guided the dragon with the other sword. As expected Sung Jin Woo started to head towards me. I made no attempt to dodge this time.
I turned the other swirling dragon at him and his eyes slowly widened as he realised that I had got him surrounded from both sides and he couldn't dive to the his left or right, It had been too late.
Instead he stopped in his tracks. His shadow grew as the dragons came in contact with each other resulting in another explosion double the size of the previous
The flames slowly dispersed revealing two shadows protecting him from the onslaught of the explosion....
Greed and iron stood In front and behind their king. They were not eithout damage though and were both quickly dispelled back into his shadow to prevent them from eating at his mana reserves most probably.
But then I got an Idea, I Smiled.
He noticed the smirk and gave a frown. As he called for one of his strongest Shadows
"Tusk!!"
The ogre Quickly used the hymn of giants and grew to several 10s of feet high. I laughed out loud as I saw Sung Jin Woo on his shoulders with his Daggers at the ready waiting for me probably.
Why make him wait?!
"Ymir!!"
I called out as a massive Giant of equal size as Tusk grew out of the ground.
This was the giant with Ice and Fire powers that had appeared earlier. I had decided to name it Ymir.
I jumped up on his shoulder with both my sword at a ready.
This was gonna be epic...
Gospel: Sloth turned off
...Fine. Not like I was gonna use it anyway...
Okay new plan.
Before I could think up a new plan though Tusk attacked. Not bothering with magic It simply threw a punch. Ymir did the same in response.
Their knuckles met, causing a loud boom to be hear and a shockwave was caused causing an insane amount of wind to go about across the Labyrinth causing both out hairs to swirl about like crazy.
This wasn't the end though.
I charged across Ymir's outstretched arm as did Sung Jin Woo who used Tusk's arm in a similar fashion.
We met in the middle where the knuckles met. My arms were conpletely black thanks to the Lust authority. They even had a size increase this time. I had a manic grin on my face while he had a deep scowl.
I held both my sword to my right side before jumpin and spinning in the air as I fell down. He simply stood their and held his dagger in a reverse grip. He swung his own as well.
Both our weapons met and it was clear neither of us had held back this time around. It was clear from the shock wave that was so strong both the giant had been cleaved into two from the shock wave alone.
*crack*
His dagger cracked. But...
*shatter*
My swords shattered.
Both of us fell down to the ground. Falling considerably apart from each other. I bare landed on my feet and stared at the shattered swords in my hand.
I threw them away.
Gospel: Lust, healing factor turnes off.
Fuck it.
I glared at Sung Jin Woo who still had both his daggers albeit one was cracked.
I used lust and created an extra limb before turning it into a great sword, one strong enough to not shatter on impact off Kamksh's dagger. There was no telling when she would turn the rest of lust off, ignoring the pain, I tore the limb off my back, I could feel the warm blood that was running down my back.
I twirled the sword around my arms. It felt balanced. Okay. No need for Lust anymore.
Gospel: lust turned off.
Right on time.
I walked towards him and he did the same. Slowly quickening our pace it was soon a full on sprint as I put both my hands on the sword handle. And then with all my might i swung at him. He intercepted it with the allread cracked dagger.
But I didn't wanna shatter it.
*Slice*
Aligning my self just right. I had managed to cut off his arm off, but, not before he had managed to cut sizeable gash across my temple to the back of my head.
In a display of amazing discipline or perhaps sheer fucking stubborness neither of us even acknowledged the wounds.
He turned around and used his other dagger which I blocked with my Great sword shich unfortunately shattered on impact but thankfully I managed to dodge the dagger.
I sent a right hook straight at his face he didn't bother to dodge but he was in a lot of pain as a result of the punch. He used Kamish again and I blocked with the remaining part of the great sword.
It seems we had allread had enough as we drove the weapons into each others chest neither of us making any notion of acknowldging the wounds. Both of us butted heads with considerable force if the blood that was going down our foreheads was any indication.
We let go of our repective handles before moving back.
We coughed blood, as we were forced to acknowledge the wounds that had been caused.
I gave a dry mirthless chuckle as I fell to the ground.
Sung jin woo fell the ground as well but he seemed to be in mkre pain than me thanks to the sliced of arm.
I felt my vision go blury as I continued to chuckle away.
I fell back but instead of meeting the cold hard floor I met something smooth and soft instead.
I barely made out the shape of the one who's thighs' I was resting on.
Regulus:...Gospel..?
Gospel:...I am sorry...Master...
She had tears welled up in her eyes.
I felt a deep anger within me but something was wrong...
It wasn't my anger...
Re-...Y/n: *smile*
I raised my hand and softly touched her cheek.
Y/n: What are you talking about you useless skill? Why are you even asking for forgiveness like this?
Didn't mean I wasn't angry though.
Y/n:That's not how you apologize You better be grovelling on my feet when I wake up if you want tk be forgiven...actually this feels nice. Gorvel at my feet after I wake up.
