Okane stood in the shadow, a considerable distance away from the standoff between Diego and Four Arms, not wanting to be caught up in the battle despite being the referee.
Four Arms was someone he himself couldn't trust; he was like a wild animal; there's no telling what he would do. Four Arms then beat his chest with all his arms and started chanting; the audience went along with it, as it was a ritual.
"HA! El!" Four Arms shouted.
"HA! El!"
"HA! El!"
"HA! El!"
At this point, Diego's heart was racing, yet he wasn't scared; instead, he was filled with pure rage. He had let them go, and this is how they reward him? It made him sick to his stomach.
"DIO! I hope you don't disappoint me!" Four Arms yelled, smiling savagely.
"Shut up," Diego replied coldly.
"With pleasure." Four Arms slammed the ground hard, and cracks burst outward from the impact, heading fast towards Diego, who jumped in the air, avoiding the crushed ground.
He then ran to Four Arms, increasing the sharpness and length of his nails. He slashed with his right, but Four Arms easily dodged it and broke his right arm like a twig. The pain was unimaginable.
"You're fast but predictable." He said, sending Diego flying across to the wall and spitting out blood, with a strike to the gut using two of his arms that broke his ribs. Four Arms didn't stop and did one massive jump that carried him across, right above Diego, who dodged the slam as he landed with a loud thud that shook the ground.
'Damn, that hurt. He's stronger than he looks. I can't let him get that close again.'
Diego dashed away a considerable distance and raised one of his arms. The blood that he spat out rose in the air, turning into thick whip-like appendages that quickly wrapped around the off-guard Four Arms, but with ease, he broke out of it.
Diego smacked his tongue in annoyance and cut his wrist to control the blood that leaked out. The audience, including Okane, stared at him in shock. He had just displayed another meta ability; the common consensus at this point was that you could only be born with one.
'Just what is his meta ability? He has super strength, super speed, increased nail length, super regenaration and now blood manipulation. Is it just one power that encompasses all of this? Whoever you are, Dio, you just continue to surprise me. It would be a shame for you to die here when you haven't even participated in a tournament. I hope you win; your entertainment has eclipsed any of my previous fighters.' Okane thought.
"Isn't that great? You can control blood as well. I think I'm in love with you, Dio~ So far, you have lasted the longest out of any of my foes. My heart breaks every time I crush their skulls. Why are they so breakable? So weak. Yet you are still standing, and looking brand new; no matter how many times I break you, you will always regenerate. That is the best kind of fun!" Four Arms said, his voice dropping to a hungry purr as he slowly licked his lips.
Diego shuddered in disgust. He was definitely going to keep a safe distance from him now.
'If I can't restrain him, then I have to pierce his body.' He thought.
Diego concentrated, slowly compressing the blood to its limit, which leaked out of him into a tiny ball. Four Arms watched in excitement, instead of attacking, which gave Diego enough time.
He clasps his hand around the ball and tries to shoot it out, but it fails, and the blood drops. Four Arms looked on in disappointment and lunged at Diego, closing the distance in an instant.
Diego dodged the first attack but got his lower body grabbed by the bottom arms. Four Arms pounded Diego's face with his upper arms at the same time, breaking his face.
Then he lifted him in the air, pulling his body slowly apart as his spine started cracking. Diego tried his hardest to break free, but Four Arms was much stronger than him.
Diego cried out in pain and fell into unconsciousness. Four Arms then spun him around and threw him across the lot, crashing through a wall. The crowd cheered as Four Arms walked up to the fallen Diego.
"Don't tell me this is all you've got, wake up." Four Arms said, staring down at Diego sadly.
The Crowd booed on in dismay, expecting a more exciting fight until they were shut up by a brutal roar from the now awakened Diego, but he looked different; his pupils and irises had vanished.
Instinct had taken over Diego's psyche; once again, he had lost control.
His nails grew in length even more, growing to two inches, and his fangs appeared. Four Arms, sensing the bloodlust that radiated from Diego, leaped back a considerable distance sqiuenting his eyes.
Diego dropped low, into all fours, as saliva slowly dripped from his mouth. He let out a low raspy growl and dashed towards Four Arms at an even faster speed. Due to Diego running on all fours, he used his spine like a spring to hurl his body forward, which gave him twice the explosive power.
The speed completely caught Four Arms off guard, and before he even blinked, Diego appeared right in front, but due to his instinct that had been honed through thousands of bloody battles, he barely dodged the slash to his face that would have been fatal.
Four Arms countered at the moment he dodged with attempt strike to Diego's back using all of his arms, but Diego unnaturally twisted his body, partially dislocating his spine.
A large amount of dust was picked up by Four Arms as his slam hit the ground instead. Diego, using the dust to his advantage, appeared at the back of Four Arms and slashed, which elicited a roar of agony.
"GRAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
Four Arms swung his arms back, but Diego had already vanished and was now in front of the opened Four Arms and slashed at his eyes mid-air, permanently blinding him.
"AUGHHH!" He screamed in pain.
The crowd cheered on loudly, despite Four Arms being a fan favorite, he was ultimately there play thing.
"Kill that freak, Dio!"
"No Mercy!"
"End Him!"
