Chapter 23 - Friends to Enemies to Friends?

Toxic and Infinity, locked in their fierce battle continued fighting. Toxic swung his spear at Infinity, missing. Infinity took this chance to try to land an overhead sword swing at Toxic, Toxic barely dodging gets a small cut on his cheek. Infinity, now defenseless gets hit by the Venom released by Toxic, sending Infinity flying into a wall. 

Infinity, stands up and says, "Damn nigga this shit burns", Toxic replies, "That's the whole point retard" and the two rush at eachother once more. Each strike they threw with their weapons, thrown with intent to kill. Toxic, managing to cut Infinity's cheek, backs off and says, "The fight should be won now." And begins to walk off.

Infinity drops to the floor and says "Wha-". 

It was then, infinity realized, Toxics spear must have been coated in some type of poison, and his realization was correct. After the incident with wrath, Toxic looked for a strong weapon which fit his abilities. In one battle where the anti-skypiean king coalition found themselves victorious, Toxic looted the local armory, falling in love with the same purple spear he had used to murder infinity.

Infinity, now began to feel all of the effects of Toxic's thick venomous tip. His throat was inflamed from the effects of the tip, his eyes watering and red, his entire body felt as if it was on fire. Infinity was on the brink of death. Toxic watched as infinity struggled for life and said "I'm sad I had to do this to an old friend"

Suddenly, Infinity manages to say, "You can think that." Toxic, confused, found himself standing in the same position he was right before he clashed with Infinity for the second time. Toxic muttered under his breath,"But I... whatever". 

The two charged at each other once more, this time infinity fought with more cautiousness, aiming to close the distance between him and Toxic and landing a stab. However the two found themselves at a standstill until Toxic backed up again. Toxic exclaimed, how will you deal with this?

Infinity coughed and said, "Poison Gas? Really?" Toxic didn't reply but instead charged at infinity. Infinity, now was forced to constantly use ego confinement to survive fighting in this gaseous environment, however, Infinity's ego confinement wasn't enough to stop the disorienting effects of the poisonous gas.

Toxic, with this advantage, still managed to fail. Every strike he attempted to land with his spear was blocked, parried or dodged by the nauseated Infinity. This environment forced Infinity to stop thinking and fight using his instincts, this was a life or death situation. 

Infinity was constantly improving in the heat of this battle to the point where, although Infinity was weakened, Toxic wasn't able to keep up. Eventually, Infinity, through a powerful sword slash at Toxic, managed to block, but was still sent flying out of the area of the poisonous gas.

Infinity rushed towards him whilst Toxic prepared his venom for a final clash. Toxic threw his venom all at Infinity, winning the clash. Toxic stood victorious and screamed "I have won, infinity, I'm sorry I had to d-" 

Infinity, stabbing Toxic through the back says, "That's the claim, you never even threw any attack."

Infinity, removing his blade from Toxics back, said, "When you wake up tell your friends that they're joining us"
