the battle surprising took an intense stir, both side giving in their all. if the room was said to be awful before now due to the cracks and hole punctured every where
now its terrible, most of it destroyed, not just the walls or ground this time around. half of the roof is already missing and the onlookers gather to the side In fear all this while had lost a few of their members to debris and stray attacks.
ripple of water energy dance at the center of the room Dianne and Nike were battling. each slash of Nike with his spear he can split in two to tale the form of short twin sword
cuts through the air like blade as they were infacts water blades, Dianne sword and spear was in a terrible state due to the venomous corrosion of her energy.
the riverdale sword dance techniques is a water based techniques just as the name suggested. other can use it but in the hands of someone with water based magi
the result is like heaven and earth, and that is the advantage Nike is having over Dianne couple with the power boast from the spear
both of them clashed weapons again as water blades ripple I a whirl force, slicing all over Dianne body.
she distance herself from Nike in time to cover her vitals but was still brutally injured from those blades.
Nike stomps his feet against the ground, shooting a trail of ice spikes rushing toward the spot Dianne just landed forcing her to make a few acrobatic move to evade
while more ice spike cut through the wind chasing after her like it got an homing beacon on her.
"you finally understand what true power is, you are no match for me now and possibly ever"
Nike declared proudly as he successfully pushed Dianne to a tough end with his ice Magi.
Dianne gritted her teeth in anger, holding her bleeding shoulder slice through by an ice spike she had missed when striking down the ice shot at her
just then, Damien who had being watching from the side ever since with folded arms scoffs. his face fully hidden by his hood but Nike could feel the discontent and cock arrogance he exude from underneath that hood.
now that he recalled, this guy had not said a word ever since he came in here, just standing to the side folding his hands as if watching a circus art
worse part is he couldn't tell what is strength level is too just like the girl before him till they clash
thus he was a bit skeptical, seeing he had being acting like a hidden boss or something. his strength should be stronger than the girl
this made his heart skip a beat, the girl is already a monster he could barely top up against if not for the addition power up and artifact advantage
what if this guy has a water related magi, wouldn't he lose one of his trump card if they battle
"have you made up your mind now?" Damien asked still having his back against the wall uncared of Nike glaring look
Dianne sigh and stood up properly as if giving up the fight, "he is a lost course, greed and pride has blind is eyes
I doubt he can be saved anymore" she threw her weapons to the ground which broke and disintegrated into ash immediately
"told you begging on his behalf isn't Worth your time, father wouldn't agree to kill anyone with a shred of humanity left in him"
Dianne nodded in agreement, she recall her father letting that mercenary that had hint and hurt them back then to go free after he defeated him
she just wanted to give this one a chance beyond all doubt even when her father said he is a lost course
she had pleaded she be given a chance to test him out herself, if he had any antony of humanity left. then his life can be spared.
but this bastard didn't mind sacrificing his subordinates during the fight to gain an upper hand, neither was he cautious when battling with her as it was his stray move that killed of more than half of the group
"you can take him out now as father instructed" Dianne walked away from the Battle ground, her injury almost completely healed
Nike notice this too and had a turmoil In his heart, "what a powerful regenerative capability, if this battle had dragged between me and her
I sure would lose especially with her always protecting her vitals" his fear wasn't unfounded
with how fast Dianne heal and her relying more on her physical attributes rather than Magi, he is sure to run out if energy before her
his attention was pulled back from his thought with the sight of Damien walking towards the battle ground with unhurried step
"I'm not going to be like my sister who got her clothes ruffled just because she is holding back, so don't hold back"
Damien said slowly taking off his special robe, not wanting to get a speck of dust on it, much more a cut.
even if the robe could self heal thanks to its special features, he still treasures it so much he don't want anyone messing with it
immediately the robe was take off, Nike had a conflicted expression. with the robe and amulet take off, Damien tier two Magi level became noticeable
but that wasn't what gave him that expression, instead its Damien look and appearance.
he didn't know if it was his eyes playing trick on him or that this young man physique seem to grow in height as he was taking off his robe
because he is now a staggering 7 feel tall figure with Lean but muscular build, a physique that seem to have lots of strength packed in each muscle
his skin is still pale but nothing compare to how pale it was in its original state, with slight sheen on it
large dark eyes having elongated pupils resembling those of a cat, his silver white hair cascading down his back in wave and an elongated face
prominent forehead, sharp and defined jawline, small delicate nose, slightly elongated ear that curve inward a bit
lon and slender hands with webbed fingers that and with sharp pointed nails, webbed feet with slight fin like structure around the ankles
"Hope you don't disappoint me Martial brother" Nike eyes widened as he saw the crazy grin on the new comer face and his lined razor Sharp teeth
more importantly he felt unease hearing those words directly on his mind, indicating this kid got telepathic magi.
Damien wiped out a spear just like Dianne, spinning and flexing it before turning to Nike
"you've got the riverdale family signature spear artifact right?
one that could be broken to serve as a word and a spear, perfectly showcasing the one spear two sword technique
too bad I don't have one but let me make up for that" eight incredibly thick, long and sinuous tentacles sprout out from his back resembling serpents with the live like way the sway in the air
Damien threw the spear up and was instantly caught by one of the tentacle while he brought out twin sword before taking a fight stance
elevating his body up using the tentacles in place of his feet. Dianne by the side bad a twitching brow expression, like isn't this an over kill already.
she just scoff over Damien show off, crossing her arm over her chest not one bit interested in how the battle would unfold
no matte how strong Nike is, going up against Damien in an hybrid form of tenty is a sure loss.
it doesn't matted if Damien is only a tier two Magi at the moment, all the stake are in his favour.
the reality of this truth hit Nike hard the moment he clashed with Damien on their first strike, Damien wasn't holding back like he said
his sword and spear had the same water effect Nike spear ha due to him having water affinity from tenth end
the one sided push back continue for a few more moments with Damien giving Nike an overwhelming pressure with is tentacles that act both as defense, attack and maneuver.
Nike soon run out of energy had keep up with Damien brute way of battle, this guy has no ethic of rationality when battling
he fought like a monster pressed against time, every of his move is lace with the intent to kill. by the time the battle ended
it was Nike who ends up in a more terrible state than Dianne when their battle ended.
A few broken none and limbs to cream the pie, his sorry ass groaning in pain o the floor as he rain curse on Damien.
the later ignored him, pick up his special spear and attempt to store it away but was met with restrictions
Nike noticing this action began to gloat at Damien misfortune
"you think you can store artifacts on storage device, how naive. you would never get my spear"
Damien frown, stabbing the other limb of Nike still functional with the spear in his tentacle.
Nike painful cry fill the room like a pig being slaughter, just when Damien was to end his life by stabbing the spear to his head
an arc of light shot through his tentacle in flash, with the tentacle falling off completely chopped clean off, severe from the rest of it's part.
"I guess we meet again" a deep voice ranged in from the entrance filed wit malice and hint of killing intent.
