Gripping his sword, Siegrund slams it into the ground, stopping his motion as his feet slam into the ground, then his eyes glare at the warrior in front of him who approaches at high speed.
He lunges forward, and the woman sends out more shining little sparkles from her gauntlet, and in response to this, he swings his sword with a single powerful slash as he says, "Drachenkämpfer Battle Arts; Void."
With a single swing from his sword, he slashes and guides the air so perfectly that a giant vacuum in the air appears at his side, pulling in all her projectiles, leaving her body open. Not wasting the opportunity, he swings his right leg upwards to smash against her chin.
She quickly brings her arms in front of where the blow is about to strike, and launches into the air from the strike with a frustrated look. Gathering the sparkles, she condenses the explosions and boosts herself towards him at high speed with her fist slaming into the flat side of the blade.
He plants his feet deep into the ground as she holds one fist against his blade and the other to the air before shooting out more explosions, propelling herself forward to force him away. Staring into each other's eyes, Siegrund says, "Lumi, the Shining of the 7 Miracles. Your fighting style is as gaudy as I've heard."
With a serious expression pasted across her normally emotionless face, she says, "Enjoy it, because it's the last thing you're ever going to see."
The sparkles condense in the palm of her hand, and the force is enough to send her blasting forward, yet in that same moment, Siegrund ducks, then in the mere milliseconds she stays over him, he raises and slams his fist into her cheek, sending her flying away at high speed.
Her head spins as she feels her brain shake, stopping her from controlling her trajectory and slamming into one of the many bones scattered everywhere.
Using this moment, he sighs and stares at his blade. His sword has a powerful cross guard, and attached to it are three triangles of decreasing height that attach one after the other, all with extremely sharp edges. All are a deep ebony brown, with red lines in the shape of veins moving through all of them. A beautiful masterpiece of a weapon, and in the reflection of its gleam, he sees a cut mark appears slow across his neck, causing him to jerk his head away, as he swings his sword.
Nothing appears in his vision, yet the words, "Too late," cross into his ears as his neck spurts blood out.
He quickly turns as he feels wind pressure building up against his back, and clashes his blade with the man standing behind him. Staring into the eyes of the young boy whose katana he clashes with, he sees nothing but the cold, detached eyes of a killer, who sees nothing but a corpse in front of his eyes.
Seeing this, he says, "I heard the rumours, Sora the Silent of Gevurah was a living corpse, yet I wonder what you had to experience to be like this?"
With a slight smile, he says, "Experience? Why do you all talk as if what I do differs from breathing? You should be more concerned about your grip."
Looking down at his right wrist, he sees a line and, in an instant, sees his hand slightly slide about to become served, so he instantly tenses all his muscles, forcing it in place right before kicking Sora in the stomach, sending the child back.
In that same instant, Lumi bursts out of the bones surrounding her, and his eyes watch the two's action, but his body quickly turns around, clashing his blade against the arm of Raro, who stands in front of flames.
He quickly pierces through Raro's clothes, yet the man jumps back into the fire before the blade can take his neck. The blade ends up inside the flames, completely enveloped by them, yet sensing a disturbance, Seigrund pulls it back as the flame vanishes, taking a slight edge off the blade along with it.
Having barely any time to react, Siegrund turns around and sends out a high-power slash, breaking the earth and launching the ground up to block Lumi's projectile, then quickly turns his body to clash against Sora's blade.
Yet the two swords never clash as an identically spiritual body appears behind Sora that clashes against Siegrund's blades, allowing Sora to swing his blade towards Siegrund's neck. The swordman moves his head, yet the little assassin moves his blade as well, leaving a long gash against Siegrund's cheek.
Gripping his great sword, he swipes it towards Sora, who quickly takes a slight step back, dodging the sword by the smallest of parameters, and swings in for another strike. Prepared to take the blow, Siegrund's arms tense as he is intent on smashing his fist against Sora as a counterattack, yet the sparkles from Lumi burst through the earth, smashing into his body for a moment, and in that instant. He feels an intense pressure around his body, a foul smell that overrides his nose, a shining light that takes his eyes, a ripping sound that overtakes his ears, and a nasty, vile taste that dominates his tongue.
His body freezes as his senses are overloaded, and using this moment, Sora slashes against his throat in an elegant and simple slash, ripping right through it. But now allowing himself to stay bested, Siegrund slams his foot into the ground, breaking the footing around him and tenses the muscles in his neck, keeping them together, as his screams at full force disorient the boy for a moment before swinging his sword towards him.
The pressure of the swing would be enough to send any animal running, yet Sora only moves closer in the face of it, with his eyes gazing up a moment before he does. Seeing the look in Sora's eyes, Siegrund focuses all his spirit energy against the top of his body, keeping the bare minimum in his sword as he says, "Drachenkämpfer Battle Arts; Twin Pressure."
From his sword, two sonic vibrations move out as his blade strike against Sora's and the spirit behind him, as they move through Sora's body the blood in his body starts to rapidly move against his own blood vessal's trying their hardest to burst out, yet the force of his spirit energy covering all of his veins and arteries keeps them together, but still forces him to lunge backwards.
Staring upwards, Siegrund sees Raro with the mass of cloth that surrounded him loose and flying in the air, revealing his chest as his body only has cloth wrapped around his pants and left arm, with the rest flying free behind him.
In that same instant, Siegrund sees a second eye and hair colour that were hidden from him by the cloth, and soon prepares as Raro activates his Legacy on the cloth before controlling all of it and sending it flying towards Siegrund.
The swordman with perfectly timed swings cuts right through the cloth, swatting it away, yet each slice merely splits the cloth, which only increases the number of strikes coming towards his body.
The mass of attacks against him is more than an eye cout could hope to capture, so to ward them off instead of cutting straight down, he cuts horizontally through them, serving the cloth.
Seeing this happen, Raro places little bits of his flesh against the cloth, and then from those bits flames appear which he sends his cloth into making them come out of different flames which all move to strike into and against Siegrund, only increasing the complexity of the strikes sent against him, allowing a large series of blows to cover cross his body, before he slams his sword into the ground creating a blow of wind preesure that sends it all flying away.
He instantly jumps up, looking to cleave off Raro's head, yet his foe is nowhere to be found, and as another swarm of flames appears all around Siegrund in the air, he braces himself, as Lumi, Sora and Raro all appear and slam their weapons and fists against him as they all fall down.
Lumi, smiling, says, "You've held out long for a nameless swordman's, but don't let yourself believe that we've even been trying." Before letting out a big explosion that sends him flying away from the three of them, who all land beside each other, before lunging forward and coming towards him again, as their clash begins another time.
Raro's Regalia, Bonfire, allows him to create human-sized pillars of flames that connect to each other through the use of kindling, a part of an animal. The flames formed through this will last until the kindling is fully used up, and can't have the portal they connect to change after creation.
Ripping tiny pieces of his flesh, Raro attaches them to Lumi as she bursts forward, with Sora following behind her. Siegrund lunges to meet hair, and she scatters sparkles from her gauntlets all across the area, forming a series of explosions that Siegrund worried about the other two dashes through. Yet his actions bring a smile to her face.
Lumi's Legacy, Napoleon, Regalia is know as Emperor Shine, allows her to create a series of small explosive sparkles which become stronger based on the number of them that explode together and how close to each other they are, but the true strength of this Legacy hides in it's secondary ability, the ability to forcibly overload the sense of people who get hit by a certain number of them.
In the same instant, he lunges forward through the explosions, his sense of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell completely filled with sensation, freezing his mind, and using the opportunity, Raro creates pillars of flames in front of Sora and behind Lumi, allowing Sora to teleport to Lumi as the two head towards Siegrund.
Lumi smashes her fist towards him, yet the man kicks her fist towards the sky, and says, "Your Spirit Energy is still far too visible."
Sora, moving up to him, says, "And so is your neck."
The boy swings his sword towards Siegrund, who counters it and says, "You're not a swordman."
Smiling, he says, "Who the hell cares about that?"
Sora's Regalia, Inner Demon, allows him to manifest a spiritual body that closely follows him, often taking the form of an exact copy of him that looks like a demon.
From his backside, the Inner Demon appears and swings its blade towards his neck, yet Seigrund moves Sora's sword towards it, as Lumi sends another kick towards his chin, which he ducks while taking a step back, allowing both Sora and Lumi to press against him, landing blows against his body yet failing to kill him.
Siegrund's body fills with wounds, and soon the muscles keeping both his arms and neck steady loosen just a bit, allowing blood to leak. Seeing this, Sora smiles and sends more spiritual energy into his Inner Demon.
While Sora's Inner Demon will often take the given shape, his greater control over it has given him greater freedom.
The Inner Demon reshapes itself into a swarm of thirteen flying blades, each of which slices through the sky with more precision and power than the katana in Sora's hand, ripping across Siegrund's body,
Yet in the tiny little space between, given to him now that the swords don't cling to like the former body double, Siegrund grips his sword with both of his hands, and says, "Drachenkämpfer Battle Arts; Smother," and in an instant, the pressure of death falls onto Lumi.
Sensing the same, the cloth from Raro intervenes, moving towards the critical points of Siegrund's body, forcing his back onto the defensive, which both angered Lumi and annoyed Sora.
Raro is the previous user of the Orthrus Legacy, and due to this, has the Regalia, Great Beast, which turns any tool with it into a living beast that hunts its given target, no matter how far they go. Unlike Porto Elia, who used this on a chain and ball, Raro uses them on the great amount of cloth he always wears.
Creating a swarm of Bonfires, Raro, Sora, and Lumi all increase the intensity and coordination of their attacks, layering on blows onto Siegrund's body in a one-sided domination of the battle.
Yet the one receiving all their blows and attacks doesn't cry, he doesn't shriek, he doesn't even feel a hint of sadness, all he feels is an ever-growing pleasure as a single thought moves through his mind; Can I let loose now?
