Chapter 131 - THE HELL...?

An explosion sent Scourge flying back. He landed and jumped over spikes of ice that shot out from under him redirecting a ball of fire at a blade of folded space causing it to explode. Hus feet had barely touched the ground when his senses warned him and he instinctively moved to the left as the area where he was standing moments ago was forced down by increased gravity. He looked down at his right arm which was missing as a result of that attack.

" These girls aren't giving me any breathing space." Scourge thought as a new appendage popped out of the stump under the shoulder. He sized his approaching attackers,his muscles pulsing with anticipation.

" I'm going all out!" Scourge yelled as an aura of black energy engulfed him causing his muscles to bulk up and the girls to pause their attack.

" What are you guys doing. Don't give him any breathing space!" Sasha yelled at the.

Several portals opened up behind her and beams of pink spatial energy fired towards Scourge.

Scourge, fueled by 100% of his physical enhancement, charged forward. His movements blurred as evaded the blasta and jumped aiming a devastating kick at Sasha. Blood tendrils shot out of the ground and restrained him. He managed to free one of his arms and caught her blade. Koniko appeared behind Sasha and fired an arrow she'd formed with her flames knocking him into a pool of blood. Scourge was being restrained by blood chains that were pulling him deeper and deeper into the seemingly bottomless ocean of red. A powerful bolt of lightning struck the water electrocuting him.

The girls stood on a shore surrounded by an ocean of red. Scourge shot out of the ocean. The landscape has changed from one obscured by fog to an endless sea of blood. He looked back to see a red moon in a cloudless sky.

" I see. They've altered the landsxape to their advantage." He smirked.

" Do you think this'll be enough to stop me you sluts!" Scourge shouted at them.

They jumped out of the way as he impacted the place they stood like a comet.

He aimed at Adriana who was the one closest to him.

Koniko darted forward before he could reach her, twin blades ignited like two touches in her hands. She executed a fluid sequence of diagonal slashes, each strike aimed at Scourge's vulnerable joints. Scourge grabbed the blades and Koniko released them. Scourge realized that they were constructs shed made with her fire. She made another fire arrow.

Inferno Wave

The arrow stoped a few meters Infront of him, dispersing into smaller balls of flame before converging in Scourge, scorching his skin on his chest.

His Regeneration slowed.

The Crimson Vortex, a manifestation of Sharone's blood magic caused the waves to swirl around him at high speed. She concentrated more energy, tightening its grip on Scourge. He struggled against its pull, his form contorting and twisting. With a roar, he broke free, but the cost was great. A wound, deep and bleeding, marred his chest. Sharone caused blood chains to shoot out of the waves to restrain him. He broke free but the more he did,the more the chains tied him down.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin and Sasha charged at him and engaged in close quarters combat while Koniko and Adriana unleashed a barrage of f projectiles, each one seeking to exploit the wound that were being created to prevent them from regenerating.

Scourge slammed his fist into the waves beneath him, causing a massive tidal wave to move toward them.

Thermal Reversal.

Adriana manipulated the temperature of the air, freezing the wave into a wall. Sharone appeared through a portal Sasha created and hit him with the back of her scythe she used the blade as a hook and held him, throwing him into the wall of ice. The ice grew around him freezing him in place.

‎Sasha, opened a rift in space, a portal to a dimension of pure energy. She channeled this energy into her sword, empowering it with a celestial light. With a single, decisive strike, she attacked Scourge, hoping to weaken him further.Scourge, however, was not defeated. He shattered the ice, his movements unhindered. He shattered the rock formation with a single punch, then turned his attention to Sasha. He blocked her attack, his power neutralizing her own. Creating a shockwave that knocked the others back.

Lin swept her halberd in wide arcs, generating whirlwinds that buffeted Scourge. Her Gravitational Crush compressed the air, slowing Scourge's movements. Adriana complemented Lin's attack with Lightning Strike which electricuted him. He grabbed hold of the arcana within the spell and tore the whirlwinds apart. Scourge was panting. His wounds weren't healing anymore.

Scourge charged up and roared causing the water to ripple. He compressed his muscles and lunged at them. The girls did same and the clashed causing tidal waves as they exchanged blows. Scourge retaliated with a flurry of punches, each landing with explosive force. The group weathered the assault, their movements synchronized.

‎Koniko landed a spinning kick, followed by a fluid slash that released a burst of flame. Lin's halberd thrust downward, generating a localized gravity well.

‎Adriana jumped back and put her hands together as if to pray and pointed at Scourge. The water magic converged into a piercing jet. Scourge barely evaded the blade of water that bisected the entire landscape.

Sasha teleported behind Scourge, Durandel slicing through his defenses. Scourges arm went flying in seconds but he still knocked her back with a punch to the jaw.

The battle raged on, both sides trading blows. Scourge's enhancement began to falter, his movements slowing.

‎As the group gained the upper hand, Scourge's eyes turned desperate. With a sudden burst of speed, he unleashed tendrils of dark energy.

‎The group dodged, but Scourge's tendrils adapted, pursuing each target. Sharone, Koniko, Lin, Adriana, and Sasha found themselves surrounded.

‎Just as Scourge prepared to deliver the final blow, a burst of light illuminated the space. Tye, the Chimera rabbit, materialized.

Scourges concentration faltered and he instead opted to eliminate it.

It was a grave calculation as immediately he directed his envelope intent at The his body began to twist and turn vanishing into a void.

The girls stopped in their tracks.

" What the hell just happened?" Lin asked.

" I have no idea." Sharone said looking down at the Rabbit as Koniko shrugged.
