Chapter 36 - THANK YOU

" You've really done it this time Kojo. You've gone out of your way to make her mad. Well this works better for me" Cyranius said. He sat with his legs crossed in a chair in top of the arena. Table laid beside him. He lifted a teapot and poured himself some tea then gracefully lifted it to his lips and took a sip. An explosion shaking the arena. He was however unmoved by this and continued.

( She must have maxed out her poison magic abilities using curse magic.)

Kojo punched him to the middle of the arena.holding the hood if his shirt to pull him back before punching him again. He landed on his Cloud in midair and surfed away.

" You said curse magic means afflicting ones self in order to manifest the inverse if that phenomena. So all I need to do is stop it somehow?" Jattara made a Jade spear and threw it in the cloud causing it to explode and throwing Kojo away. He flipped and landed raising his sword just in time to block a downward swing from Jattara's sickles.

(Lemme see. Skanning.....

Got it. She's poisoning herself multiplying the poison in her body and manifesting it outward)

Jattara pushed Kojo back and made a swing at him. He blocked then froze her head delivering a spinning kick that broke the ice causing her to stagger backwards. The sword disappeared and he hardened his hands using them to to deflect her blows before rushing in and striking her in the face with his knee then taking advantage of this delivered a palm strike backed by wind that sent her sliding back.

" I need you to stop this right now. If you continue to increase the poisons with arcana,you'll die" Kojo said.

" Don't give me that. This is a death match you won't be able to keep me alive like you did for those two weaklings you fought. I'm going to kill you then I'm going to slaughter everyone in this arena including those girls." Jattara looked at the VIP section where the girls were. She turned to face them and raised her hand forming a gaint spike behind her and was about to release it when Kojo threw himself at her, knocking them into the wall. He grabbed her neck and began to squeeze. He Jattara looked at him with pleading eyes.

" Please kill me" She whispered.

" What?" Kojo said. Her memories suddenly filled his head and he saw how she was sold as a slave to the Cobra King sect and used as a test subject for Thier new poisons and techniques. He saw how one day she snapped and killed all the leaders of the sect becoming the very thing she dispised. She saw how Cyranius massacred her weapon and made her his slave . Shocked,he loosened his grip. Jattara took advantage of this to stab him in the side manifestind a club and knocking him away.

" What was that?" Kojo wondered holding his wound. He dropped to his knees the began to vomit blood.

( System diagnostics: Scanning...

Confirmed . Deathbrand is spreading through your system)

Jade colored runes began to spread over Kojo's body. One of his eyes became bloodshot and his breathing became strained.

(Skill HEALING active.

Skill POISON KING active.

Surprising poison.)

The runs began to stop spreading and Kojo's breathing stabilized. He looked at Jattara and slowly rose.

" Man this is a pain"

( Analysis of subject complete.

Is being manipulated by the HELLSBRAND poison. An amount of Arcana tainted with the Curse hai benn found. Jattaras body has a total of 110 of the 113 most deadliest poisons in the continent. )

" Die!" Jattara yelled as a magic circle appeared under her. The clouds darkened and green lightning began to strike around the arena. The ground under them began to crack and erode sinking downward.

(Subject is attempting to poison the city with # poison 003: Sunderer,a concoction so powerful it can poison the planet itself)

Kojo turned and saw that some mages had gathered around and were reinforcing the barrier. The poison however spread beyond them and the city began to crumble. Poison raining from the clouds and lightning striking all around.

Giovanni stood at the front line trying his best to stabilize the barrier with his own arcana slightly slowing the erosion down. The poison began to affect him and made wounds slowly appeared in him,blood coming out his nose and his eyes becoming bloodshot.

" We should do something" Leo said getting to his feet

Yukio grabbed him and pulled him back into his seat.

" He's got this" she said.

" But," Leo was about to protest but saw the look on Yukio's face and shut up.

Kojo put his hands in the air and cast a spell causing a Magic circle to appear above the arena.

Anti magic cage

" My ,my. He's copied my spell" Cyranius said with interest.

( The two spells Sunderer and A.M Cage are surprising each other. Equilibrium of incantation attained. Sunderer however is slowly eroding your spell)

" . Wait,it can erode magic too. Even anti magic?How long do I have?"

( 5 minutes until erosion burst)

Jattara held her head as if she had a serious headache.

" Help me." She said stretching her hand at Kojo her eyes returning to normal and filling with tears. They became slits again and she screamed real easing an even more intense aura then charged at him. Kojo also rushed at her,the two of them collided in the middle of the arena the force of Thier fists colliding shaking the arena knocking them in opposite directions.

Quicksilver x3 + Fire fists + Crystalization.

Kojo appeared infront if her,showering her with blows.

Skill:MERGE has been created.

Merging Quicksilver/ Fire Fists/ Crystalization.

Devastator has been created.

Kojo's fist glowed bright purple and he punched Jattara in the stomach knocking her upward then propelling himself upward with wind and fire,shot some thread s from his fingers binding her and pulling her towards him delivering another blow to he face that knocked her into the ground. She rise and charged at him with her scythes. He drew out his sword and the two battles throughout the arena. She knocked Kojo down and sat in him raising the Sickles over her head. She stoped a few centimeters from Kojo's face.

" Please,I can't stop myself. She began to cry.

Kojo turned them and was now in top of her. He put his blade to her neck.

" Do it." She pleaded." Kill me"

" But,"

" There is no other way." she managed to say before her savage side took over and she kicked him off her then threw her chains at him.

"Isn't there some way to save her" Kojo asked Sysia. While he fought Jattara.

( No,she's too far gone. The longer she stays alive,the more sheel be in pain. There is no other way)

" But she looks cute without her mask and it's be a waste of both body and skill. I mean see how flexible she is" Kojo dodges as Jattara spun in her hands kicking her legs out.

(Seriously. See this is why I call you a -)

" A perv I know"

( So you agree)

" Your thoughts not mine"

( Your forgetting that I'm in your head)

"Yeah. Your also an entirely different person." Said jumping back. And pushing Jattara into the opposite wall using wind magic freezing her into it and trapping her in a glacier.

( 10 second remaning)

Kojo took a deep breath then ran his finger along the blade of his sword causing the runes to glow and purple flames to engulf it. Jattara brine free and charged at him.

" I see your preparing to deliver the killing blow. That's sadly not going to be enough to stop me. I've put a spell on her that will forcibly activate all the poisons in her body causing an explosion that will wipe the entire province off the map. Then I can take my time searching. For her.

He stood in a quickdraw stance and took a deep breath closing his eyes. The world around him slowed. Jattara swung he sickles at him.Sparks lightning danced of him he opened them his eyes glowing red. He sidestepped the sickles the rushed at Jattara stabbing her. There was a bright flash and it was sunny again

The poison that was eroding the city suddenly disappeared as if it had never existed. Jattara looked at him

" Thank you, for setting me free" she said before dropping to the ground. Kojo stood and looked down at her body.

" I'm sorry" He said before collapsing. He squirmed in pain the poisoned runes spreading over his body
