The Angel Has Shattered, Now For a Crying Devil [Continuation Job]

So Arianna and Diablos are both illusions, what more? The fact that she had a son as well, and yet still acted lustfully. The illusion acted like it had its own life, maybe it would have never played around like that with her son. Who was the original son anyways? It was not currently the best time to ask such a question, considering he had just gotten out of that hell of a fight. It was by far the most dangerous one that he had to endure. The only reason why he was still alive at this moment was because of the good call he made to Aiyana, summoning her. Not only that, but to think she was a Slayer, and for that fact to be found in the best way possible. Achieving force instantly, what a lucky guy he was to have found such a Celestial Spirit. He understood why Aiyana thought of herself to be better than the Zodiac Keys, though Elyx did not like to compare them. It was just not fair to do that, not for his keys at least, not when they did everything in their power to protect him.

Being a Slayer looked like so much fun, but sadly, he was not born to be one. It was kind of sad, to have his fate chosen from the start, unable to change it. It made things hard for him, such as opposing enemies eating up his magic. Nimpha gave him a Solution to it, until he changed his whole magic set altogether. Not instead of Caster Seal, he had the Chronicle Celestial Spirit Summons, and instead of Wind Lerale, he had Swordplay Devastation magic. Seemed like a nice trade, since neither of them could be taken down by a slayer. Still though, he is very reliant on his weapon, and though he is not so reliant on his magic anymore, he could not help but wonder what it was like to have his own force.

For example, if he were like Iza, what would his form be like? She was a god slayer herself, so it was actually hard to imagine her suddenly turning into a dragon. But a deity possibly? Would her body be outlined with darkness, enhancing her abilities? Elyx himself never saw what she would be like in that form, and honestly, he'd prefer not to see it. She was insane enough as it was, she did not need to be pushed any further. And for what reason would she even need to hit force anyways? There was the possibility that she wanted to just destroy things out of boredom, but there was not enough ice in the world that would bunch up together, so fortunately, she'd have to do that on her own.

As for him, what about wind? A wind lerale dragon? It was unheard of, though there were many forms that you could take as a Lerale Magician, there was none that would be so devastating as Aiyana was previously. Nothing in his blood would allow him to do it, so why even bother trying?

Sin always seemed to have a night time sky in the sky, it was not too uncommon for places where only the demons lived. But they could have at least had some sort of dark sun to intimidate those that arrive. Sure, it might have added more light, but it would have been a lot cooler, at least to him it would have. On the plus side, not too many enemies could see him in the night, so they were not so quick to pounce. With his natural sensing ability, he was able to slice his way through the land with easy. However, Arianna promised him that this next opponent would be much harder to deal with, that the real Diablos was impossible to beat in a fair fight. If that were the case, numbers were going to have to be used again. Virgo was currently resting, but she will be back soon. As for Aiyana, Elyx thought that she had done enough for him, just saving his life to say the least. She will obtain the full reward and get the same amount of credit he did, the only difference would be the amount of blood that had been shed from their bodies.

As he turned his head over, he'd feel a set of eyes locking onto him. Locating his ability towards that direction, he'd feel a vibration in his head, instantly forcing him to stop it. What the hell was that? Never in his life had his senses been thwarted, someone knew how to stop him... Wherever they were. A sudden shadow would appear right in front of him, the senses were incredible, Elyx did not think such magic flow could rest inside one sole body. It was much more than Arianna's. Possibly even more than Zacks? Possibly even the guy that he had to fight back in the whole Priory thing. And that prick was insanely hard to keep up with.

Regardless of this, it was an intruder regardless, so Elyx wasted not time in unsheathing his blade and slicing, aiming for the neck to cause severe damage. It was not a direct slit of the throat, but more like chopping at the bone to create some massive bleeding. In response, his arm had been stopped before he could reach his opponents neck, but he did not see anything that could be stopping him. Magic possibly, very strong paralysis for sure. But from where!? Elyx did not know how to stop it either, so what now? Fortunately, the shadow did not attack him... But welcome him?

"I'm not here to hurt you, if I wanted you dead, it would have happened already." The male voice explained, his voice sounded of that of a young adult. "The name is Alcore, Alcore Yucai. I haven't been here for quite some time, but maybe you have heard of me... Being from Shadelle and all." And just like that, he had met a celebrity of his previous home, Shadelle. But what did such an important figure have to do with Elyx? Elyx might have been a small icon at best, but to be noticed by literally the best of the best... That meant his value was certainly high. Was it good value however... And where is Miharu anyways?

"You wanted to know what it is like to be a Slayer, right?" Mind-reading, the Yucai never had that before now did he? Then again, according to the history in Shadelle, he was infinity, but Elyx thought that he just had the most power over any being. No, it was meant literally, it had to be. Where he had his source of power from was something he could not explain, he was just an Elyx Reiaki, in front of him was an Alcore Yucai. Yucai held an orb in front of the young man, it's light shining in the dark, though there was a small bit of vibration in the air around it.

"This Lacrima will give you the desire that you wish. One Deity Slayer magic for you, and it even uses your birth elements that you have been using." Alcore explain before then pulling back the lacrima, it was rather taunting actually. "But there is a cost. In order for it to work, you have to embrace a little bit of my power. Seeing that my power is Restrict, your body will forgot all about your previous magic... A pretty small cost in my opinion." Holding it up in front of his face again, he'd continue to speak. "But that choice is up to you. Tell me which you would prefer, trying to avoid magic? Or embrace it and become one with it, being the best there ever was."

Being the best was a nice and tempting offer, but for someone like him to do it? Without Iza here, he might have agreed, since she was not able to put him down. But remembering Aiyana in her Force mode, he would love nothing more than to get his hands on such abilities, such amazing tricks. Slowly, the young man would nod his head, giving his answer to the offer. Embrace the Restrict magic, lose the swordplay magic, and he would be a lot more powerful than he was now.

"Put out your palm, so I can transfer the magic into your veins." Alcore ordered. Elyx was quick to place out his palm, the right where, where his sword would be held. From there, he felt the hand of the Yucai gripping his wrist, firmly to make sure that the young mans palm did not move. A warm feeling traveled up his arm as the lacrima was then placed on his palm, and soon, it began to disappear. Nothing felt different during the transformation, but eventually, after his palm had been let go, he would feel the wind once again like he used to. The urge to pull out his blade was much less, but instead, to breathe in the air. The desire to just breathe the air was large, and there was plenty of it. It was kind of sweet, he thought that he could taste it. Could it be possible... That he had been turned into a Slayer with just a Lacrima? Though he was normally under Elyxs assumptions, suspicious, he gave Elyx the embrace of the wind, making him a deity over it. Awoken... The Sky Deity Slayer.

Alcore... Why are you doing this for me? Elyx would ask, his hands shaking, possibly from the new wind under his control, but it was more likely to be from the fact that he had never been treated with such care. One who would tell him anything, but in the best way possible, to give him potential. It was said in Shadelle that he liked to give hope to everyone who he crossed, at least, those he approved of. Those who he do not most likely were corrupt for power, and he gladly silenced them. A hero of Endelle, and he chose to not rebuild Endelle because the start of another Seria reign would ensue, and no one cared to have that happen again. Now here he was, helping the young man fight when he needed to kill the tribe.

Alcore locked his hand with Elyx's, the both of them looking at each other at perfect eye level as the stuck high five remained. Their fingertips wrapped to touch the back of each others hands. The energy flowing in their palms was great, it was like they had known each other for quite a while. In a way, that was half true, but Elyx looked up to him like a celebrity, but thought that he was fictional as well. He thought of the being that was Alcore to only be a symbol, and the real person behind him did not want their name written in the history of all of the Delle lands. But here he was, the proof behind his actions was enough. The story of those being able to identify him with only his movements was true. This fighter was not one to be messed with, not even Nimpha, who probably would not even do such a thing.

You and I had the same beginning... Elyx... And now Alcore just proved to have known his name! If only he had a photo, something to record all of this on, something! It was too amazing to be true, the same beginning as the one who literally became one with infinity. Elyx then had a response, feeling really comfortable with the Yucai in front of him, but before given the chance to ask more questions, his voice refused to let out any sound. It seems that he had been silenced. Don't you have a job to do, Reiaki? Get that out of the way first, you know where I will be if you need me. Alcore explained, the world then seeming blurry to Elyx. The feeling of the grip was disappearing as well, it seemed he was able to read the Reiaki like a book. So many questions, and he needed to ask them. It gave him something to look forward to in the future though, it was more than a blessing. And all he had to do was do the impossible, defeat Diablos. The world around him began to reveal itself clearly, it seemed that Alcore transported him as well. What a considerate guy, though it might have been better if the place Diablos did live in was not a place that actually looked like hell.

The member 'Elyx Reiaki' has done the following action : Dice Rolls

---

'Monster Dice' :

Heh, didn't think the meat would arrive so early. A darker voice explained, it was really dark. It was not of that of a human. Turning his head to the side and his eyes shifting towards that direction, he'd notice not a human, but a demon. It had wings, nice, but it was also looking for trouble, not so nice. It had a giant blade, showing that it was willing to spar with him in melee combat, now this may have been better... If he had his previous magic. But his body barely remembers any of it, he'd be lucky to even use the weak versions of them. Learning very much from his battle with Arianna, that was not the kind of luck that he needed, the kind that forced him to use magic early. If Diablos were not so happy as Arianna was, he probably would not bring him to full health and magic like his wife did. Or the illusion of his wife did. Damn, it was pretty hard to understand all of the lore. But he had his own to deal with, and this job just so happened to be a part of it. Turning his body all the way around, Elyx placed his fists up, if the meat was going to run, there would be no point in trying to attack it. But if it fought back, the kill would not be worth it. And if actually beat you in a fight, you should be ashamed if you somehow survived in the end. What? If you could not beat it, why would anyone even expect you to take any sort of damage that would You seem to not know your limits, so you decide to challenge a Slayer... Elyx explained, Alcores voice being heard in him. However, he felt a bit of him speaking, the next words half belonging to him. Seemed like the Yucai is watching him over this job. Nice! And you do not want to screw with a Sky Deity... Once he is angry, the very air you breathe will betray you as it rips your skin apart and dries up every entity of your existence!

Elyx had never been able to string words like that so well, in such a threatening and formal way at the same time. Sky Deity though, the Deity of all wind!? Sky Deity Slayer, it was darkness in his veins, but the rush in him felt so great, that he honestly did not care. The fact that now this best seemed nothing more than a little puppy. The wind was violently spinning around them now, the edges cutting fast, they were going to go at it. The beat snarled before it disappeared, blurring with such speeds. Faster than the normal Elyx would have been able to do for sure. His eyes glowed with a nice shade of purple, the Lerale eyes still there, but he felt the sense of the beast trying to charge at him. With this new awareness, he could see his opponent a lot more than he could have in the past. Finally, the beast swung it's blade downwards, trying to cut him diagonally. With a palm held upwards, he caught the sharp end of the blade without being cut, stopping the impact without trouble. Lesson to be learned, don't fuck with a Deity! Elyx exclaimed before gripping the blade and shoving it into the ground, stapling it there. Then two palms of wind would form in his hand, the spheres of dark winds being so strong that the air around them violently vibrated. To come in contact with them would be lethal. It would not be a bright idea to mess with them, but the beast had done it.

Eyes locked onto the exposed stomach of the beast, the Deity Slayer pounced, pressing both palms into the stomach of the enemy. The vibration was even stronger now before eventually, the palms of wind would be gone, and the explosion occurred, striking the beast back with tremendous amounts of force. The wings did not support it either, though it may have created some wind resistance, its body weight would have some much force being applied that the wind resistance was minimal. It was still on its feet, but it slid back quite far before its back ended up slamming against the wall. The whole volcano shook violently, the lava beginning to tilt a bit from side to side. The beast shook its head before snarling, a tiny human being being able to do such a thing. Elyx had to admit, he was unable to do such a thing in the past, but now he was able to slam such opponents against walls and cause the whole would to shake. And he thought that taking on Snowmen as was cool, but this was taking things to the next level. Placing his palms up again, he was ready, a new energy inside him has shown. His purple eyes continued to glow as they locked onto the opponent. Using one of his new abilities, he was able to confirm the name of his enemy. The Sloth of the army that served Diablos, what a stupid name, but it matched his stupid appearance for sure. Heh, that was nothing, merely a contract. Alcores words explained from his mouth. But it felt like Elyx was saying it, not even going to regard the Yucai in that sense. Maybe things were better that way, he liked this fight. He did not know why, but the rush of battle now made the Sky Deity happy.

Sloth charged again, snarling with quite the amount of hate. But there was nothing that it could do, its fate was sealed from the start ever since the Sky Deity Slayer obtained his new magic. Damn you! I'll rip you to shreds! Sloth exclaimed as it flew to him. Bound Iris was still here, it was able to manipulate the air around it to make Elyx step on it. So that was what he would do, and his feet would pick up with the wind as he then ran towards his flying opponent. The both of them clashed, fist to fist as both made impact, and they were surprisingly strong. It was even, a giant amount of wind being used upon impact. His instincts told him to breathe in deep, and obeying those instincts, he sucked in the air made from the impact, therefore preventing him from having to use a costly spell. Once the air was compressed in his stomach, he blew out with all of his force, using a deadly roar in the process that shattered through the air with such power, that it sent Sloth flying for quite a distance. The strength flowing through his veins as his opponent was stunned for quite a bit, and so Elyx took the chance to charge towards the fallen sloth.

One hand picked up the enemy by the chest, a painful grip on such a vital area before throwing the beast into the lava, a smile on the Sky Deity Slayers face as the roared. It was going to be there for quite a while, not that Elyx had any problem with that. It was clearly not Diablos, and if all of the guards were that easy, he was going to have a breeze of a time cruising through them like he did to the guards that were supposed to protect Arianna. It seemed that the small enemies were not the greatest.

However, Sloth proved himself to be better than he showed, as he flew back up with some lava pieces flying all over. To protect himself, he would manipulate the air to push against the lava, letting it fall onto the ground as a smile was on his face. It roared loudly as it looked around, clearly looking for the piece of meat that it wanted. Well, why not show him where it was? Jumping up, he would protect his fist with an outline of wind, so he did not have to touch the hot lava upon impact. It also would add more damage onto his opponent. Striking his fist on the chin of his opponent, he would knock it up into the air, spinning in the process. Alcore gave him quite the move set. The beast hit the wall of the volcano once again, and this time, it did not fly, but fall with a hard landed. Still though, it was not willing to stay down. Good, because Elyx was not done playing with it yet.

With a smile on his face, he would land, watching his opponent struggling to get up to its feet. If it were going to go down that quickly, it would not be able to stick around for the rest of the show. So he was glad that Sloth still wanted to fight. It was a hopeless fight from the start, but was that going to stop his opponent? Much doubt for sure, not that he was going to be upset about it.

With a smile on his face, he’d look at the down opponent, who did not seem to keep up with his current power. A shame, and to think he would have a challenge. Too bad. As a Swordsman, he would have taken a bit of damage here and there, but as a Slayer, he felt like he could not even be touched. So if this were to happen in his battle with Arianna, he might have not even needed Aiyana to save him, he would have destroyed Arianna with possibly just a few blows. Still though, he must not let himself be so cocky, otherwise he would underestimate his opponent and end up on the opposite end of the spectrum. It has happened with him before, what was holding life back from doing it again?

Elyx would charge once again, both palms filled with wind once again, signing to contract of the Sky Deity by doing so. The spheres vibrated with intensity, and though did they not have their full potential, they were definitely enough to do some severe damage onto an opponent. Sloth this time decided to play on the defensive side, locking its feet onto the ground as it crossed its arms over its body, it was a shield. Nice, but it was still a shield made of its own body regardless. It was time to plan. If he thought that he had taken the damage and nulled it all of the way, it was likely that he would let the shield go and try to counter, the same way Elyx did when he caught an attack before catching his opponent off guard before striking him. If that was the plan, the Sky Deity Slayer had to give him a bit of credit for analyzing and using his strategy. But in the end, it was his strategy, he knew the flaws and weaknesses of it.

The first palm would aim for the arms, which naturally blocked the impact, but it caused the beast to stumble. Stumble was all though, he was would then lower his guard, ready to strike down onto the smaller target. It was part of his strategy though, as the young slayer pushed his second palm forward against the stomach of the beast, eventually hitting it directly and knocking it back heavily. A direct hit, a perfect strike, and since the Sloth did not move away from the surface of the volcano, its back was slammed against the wall again. Elyx landed back onto his feet again, chuckling a little bit as he then stepped back a few meters. This was so much fun, feeling invincible. This may be why some people got addicted to power. If he embraced that, it would be even easier to land these hits. However, Elyx refused to let such an obsession consume him. He planned to use his magic the way he has always been using it, though some things on his side would have to be destroyed in the process.

Sloth down, Sloth down! It was down and unable to get up without stumbling! Such thoughts ran through his mind without a problem, taunting his opponent in his mind. If only there were some banana here that it could slip on. This enemy reminded the Sky Deity Slayer if the tournament that he and Ven fought in, and that Yonku guy trying to act all big and tough in his intro, but not only did he lose, he lost without landing a single hit, and he was sent flying and on fire. Ven the "smaller" fighter had no problem with him, and she was a Slayer. Elyx had no problem with this beast, and now he was a slayer. Oh the joy.

As the Sloth ran again, he thought about Cain, and how this sort of magic can be used against his greatest enemy, the man that ran Shadelle, and now not even Alcore approves of him either. If such an icon did not like the way he ran things, then there was clearly something wrong. With a smile on her face, he would block the impact of another punch sent towards him, followed up by jumping up onto the arm and running up that arm. The beast tried to shake him off once he realized it was being used as a bridge, but the damage was already done. Elyx had jumped up in an acrobatic sort of way, his palm filling with a sphere of wind once again before that sphere pressed down against the face of his opponent, the ground below it shattering as its back slammed against the rocky surface. Come back again.

He landed on the ground gently and gracefully once again, this time a bit of distance was created compared to the last time that he had landed. Thus, this was the end of the battle, the enemy could not get up after such a hit, right? How wrong could he be to think that, the Sloth was weakly pushing itself back up to try to recover from the severe amounts of damage that it had taken in their battle, and it was unable to do such an impossible task. It collapsed as it's arms gave out. With the head not willing to send commands to them while they are under severe amounts of pressure, it was not likely for them to proper functionally.

The fact that it was still alive was amazing, but it was not going to last too long though. Elyx would walk up to his opponent before looking at the circle of lava. It was able to fly out of the hot plasma one time, but could it do such a thing a second time? The Sky Deity had his doubts, but he still wanted to knock anyways. So he'd pick up the grounded Sloth, who weakly resisted by squirming, before the Sky Deity Slayer threw him into the lava, and though a scream may have been heard for a second or two, it was quickly silenced by the Volcano, satisfied with the new blood.

Sloth: Shattered Mind, Burned in Lava, Unable to Continue.

Well, that was easy. What was not so easy was dodging the next attack, as it came from above with a blade. The magic flow in it was a lot stronger than the last, but if Elyx had anything to say about it, the next enemy would be thrown into the lava like its fallen partner did. The next one was not so much of a demon, or at least did not look like one, but it was a fighter for Diablos, so it was confirmed to be a demon. Sadly, he did not have as much effect on it as he would have on an enemy who was like Arianna. Still to this moment he had those regrets. But if this opponent were to be anything like the previous one, he would not be able to land a single hit. Elyx could be wrong, since the magic flow in his opponent has proven itself to be superior to the previous one, but even if this enemy were to be stronger, it still was unable to actually beat him. Maybe land a few hits from one point to another, but to beat him, he would need a lot more magic. Not even bothering with small chat of such things like names and such, the both of them would dance in the same place the Sloth had fought him in. The small circle with a pool of lava in the middle, the inside of the Volcano to be exact. Perfect, they were going to hit each other until eventually one of them is thrown into the fire.

Fortunately, he knew how to do that already, and since this opponent seemed to like Swordplay as much as Elyx used to, he would be able to match this guy. And so the battle would start, the blade slicing at his neck to the side quickly. Ducked under the attack, Elyx would spring up with an uppercut, a fist to the chin attempted. This melee fighter was much smarter, and leaned his body back, leaving the Sky Deity Slayer seemingly helpless. However, it was later proven that that was not the case, as Elyx spun his right foot to the left side, striking his opponents face to stun that opponent. He'd then lean his body forward to tilt until eventually his head looked at the swordsman, then place his palm against the opponent before sending his opponent sliding. Sliding as it, the melee fighter was prepared since his feet was locked in place, as opposed to having himself be sent flying. The swordsman was clever, but the Sky Deity Slayer knew their style of fighting, giving him the advantage. This was how he was able to get the first hit on the opponent, an upset due to it being so fast as well. If there are any spells, it would make things interesting. Then again, if his opponent did have any spells, it was very likely that he would have used them by now. Such a shame.

It was intellect that got him out of such a devastatingly fast move, mixed with his ability to see such attacks as well with his Lerale Eye. There was not much that Elyx could not see when compared to his opponent. A familiar spell was revealed to him as the enemy of Envy would split into four different versions of himself. And there was a huge flaw to it as well, something that probably made the spell the ranking it was... D. Perfect, now that he gave himself some targets to hit, Elyx will be able to shatter through this enemy easily. Something like that will not work on me I'm afraid. The Sky Deity Slayer would taunt as he would then put his hand into his pouch. Being able to feel the keys, he brought Virgos key into his hand. Spinning the key before slicing it diagonally, he would then begin to open the gate of the Zodiac. I open the gate of the Maiden! Virgo! The Celestial Spirit Summoner would announce to his four opponents as blinding light was shown, the spirits themselves have as much power as he did, if not even more. Virgo will gladly handle them, and so will he. The both of them together against the Envy and his clones will be more than enough to have them begging for mercy. Once the light had disappeared, Virgo would appear, but not in quite the way he expected. It was a Volcano, sure, and maybe it was hot... But did she have to arrive in swimgear!? Regardless, now was not the time for the questions about such things, they had to act now.

Yes, master? How may I serve you? Virgo asked formally, which added a little bit more salt to the wound after she called him her master. Elyx felt embarrassed as Envy gave Virgo quite the stare, so did the clones. It was a distraction, so now was definitely the time to attack. Punish them all Virgo! And while you are at it, make sure to not call me master. The name is Elyx, Elyx Reiaki. He would remind her before the Maiden placed her right hand upwards to her forehead to salute him. Yes, Master. Of course. With a sigh, Elyx himself would make his own attack as the wind around them began to grow Violent, the ability Champion Flow had been activated. His magic was beginning to return to him already, and it was a nice feeling as the winds swirled in the bowl that was the Volcano. Virgo in the meantime whipped out two 30 meter long chains that were on her wrists, the Envies still looking at her, leaving them all exposed to the dangers of her chains. Once she spun them around with an extreme amount of strength, they were all sent flying and slammed into the walls, that probably would have their attention. Seems likes looks weren't everything, but they are definitely not nothing either. Virgo did well in her unusual way.

Virgo got them good, it seems like the clones will not last too long at this current rate. They lasted for about a minute or two before disappearing, and if that was going to be the case... The both of them needed to act quick. It was amazing that the swordsman who was able to match the speeds of a Slayer with just Swordplay was able to be stunned simply due to lust. It was also pretty pathetic, did they think they have a chance with Virgo? She was a masochist, sure, but she had at least some self respect. It seems like she would not be hooking up with anyone, and that was a shame for the Celestial Spirits. She was nice, a little bit naive, but she had a sweet personality, despite her blank face showing the opposite. The four clones stood back up again before they unsheathed their blades, seems like they are going to have to keep their guard up, keeping a full sight without any corners cut. Placing his back against Virgos, he would keeps his palms held up in front of his chest in a defensive stance. Virgo simply stomped her foot on the ground, the volcano rock below them shattering under the ground of the clones, causing them all to be launched. It was perfect, she did not have to do too much to send them into the air, while she was able to manipulate the surface that they were on, the enemies would not be able to fight. Being in the air because you are launched is bad for any swordsman, but that was what happened exactly. Elyx saw his chance, jumping into the air before spinning around one time, with his hands extended, he was able to launch a wave towards the clones, all of them slammed against the walls of the volcano. They were not going to get close to the both of them at the rate that they were going, not that he really minded that.

They all fell onto the ground, heads hung down as they were defeated. Well, almost, they still were alive. Sparing them, he would land on the ground without capitalizing. Virgo turned around, both of her palms over each other as she looked at him with her usual blank stare. Is it time for my punishment now, master? Virgo would ask him as she handed him a chain. Elyx scratched the back of his head with his eyes closed, this was definitely not something he would like to do. It was not like she would ever understand, but that did not stop him from trying to help her out anyways. Er, Virgo, it is not time for such a... A sudden being fell from above, instantly the both of them would jump away onto two different ends at the being landed in the center, which would end up crushing them if they did not get out of the way. The being was a half spider half human sort of weird thing. My my, aren't you a handsome catch. I'll be enjoying my time with you, hun.

However, despite her rather revealing appearance, it was pretty hard to make someone lust while that emotion has been shattered and never developed. Her appearance will definitely not change anything about this battle, and if she had hoped for that to be the case, she will be in for a nasty surprise. Still though, crossing his arms, he wondered what would be the words that would emit from her lips. But before they would make a single sound, a grip on his pants would be made, Envy was trying to push himself back onto his feet. Closing his eyes, Elyx would swing his leg forward before slamming it back hard into the face of his opponent against the wall of the volcano. That got him to let go of his grip. Virgo in the meantime was being stared at by a different clone, not that she was did anything. It was when he reached his arm out at her that caused made her whip him with the chain, and putting him to sleep as well. Envy ended up sleeping as the clones would disappear, the real one being near neither of the two of them, which was probably for the best, now they could focus on this next enemy. Lust. Lust in the meantime was slowly walking over to him, a Siren sort of being shown as the illusion of a barely clother girl began to replace what she truly was. Again, rather revealing, but he could not care less. Lust has been shattered ever since Nimpha gave him the drug that she did, and now he was not affected by it. Instead, he would have to get it out of the way, because it was rather annoying. Snapping his fingers, he'd give Virgo a command. Virgo! Chain up this beast, can you please? He'd order. Two seconds later, the two long binding chains would be wrapped around the body of Lust, and destroying her illusion in the process. Elyx saw his chance now.

The Sky Deity Slayer would place out both of his palms as the Spheres of wind would begin to form once again, a smile on his face as he would then charge at his opponent. She was a demon as well, just in a different form. Never did he have that demon in his life though, it was something he never had to deal with. And for such a thing, he had the best of his relationship. Admittedly, Iza was an insane girlfriend, and that was a held back description of her. But when you look past that, she was a rather loyal tanuki, and she definitely had his back when it mattered, because she believe that only she can harm him in such a way and no one else. That was not true, and he'll definitely stop her, but otherwise, here he was, able to fight back now for her. The two spheres slammed into the stomach of Lust, sending the enemy flying, releasing her from the chains. It was headed in Virgos direction, and the Maiden seemed to take the hit. However, at the end of the impact, she carried Lust like lightweight. Though she sustained damage, she was all right.

Without lust, Lust was useless. And Elyx had none of it, the opponent in front of him had nothing else it seemed but just the looks. It made sense as to why she was a spider though, if she was able to lure in her prey into her web, she is able to devour them while they are caught, then she can reveal what she truly was just to inject fear into the caught prey. But a spider can't take down an opponent that refuses to play by its rules, the spider just simply was not fast enough. Sure, it could crawl, but flying was definitely out of the options that they could have done. Elyx was basically flying over the trap, so that he would not end up dying. Sirens were brutal against the prey when the prey is caught, eating them form inside out. Just the gory thought itself was enough to make himself feel depressed, not that he really cared to think about it too much now. With a smile on his face, he realized that the opponent in front of him was now the fly, Virgo was the trap, and Elyx was the spider. He decided to put Lust out of her misery, since she did not really cause too much damage to him. So with that, he would pull out Bound Iris before walking up to his enemy. Once he had got been in the range of that opponent, he sliced upwards to send the enemy flying, and oh man did she fly. It was pretty amazing that she did not scream too loudly, since the impact was devastatingly brutal. Then again, being a Siren, it was not like she was known to scream or anything. And eventually, she shattered, the drops of blood falling down. Raining blood, all righty then. Anyways, Diablos still was not here to be seen. The Arena was getting boring now, he just wanted the main man himself. But complaining was not going to do a thing, and Reiaki knew this.

Sorry Lust, I don't care much for you. Never have, it has been a year since I felt that emotion. Even before then, I was too young to understand it, and to this day, I still have not understood it. Elyx explained, in more of an informative monologue rather than a eulogy. What could he say, he felt no remorse for those who try to use their body only to attack. At least, on purpose. To use a low tactic to try to get their prey. Virgo in this case was just following orders, and she dressed the way she did because it was way too hot to be wearing clothing that was the way this heat was. So he could not blame her. If Envy just so happened to be a perv and look at her from the start to the end, then guess whose fault it was. The next opponent to arrive was not Diablos, but it was another guard. Great, these things just never gave up. Elyx would place his palms up again, Virgo keeping her hands folded in front of her.

A man with a briefcase, seemingly human, but Elyx knew better than to take chances. If this was the weaker version of the form of the enemy he was supposed to take on, Elyx had to strike now. Charging towards the enemy, he would place his fist upwards, but only for the man to open the case, a lot of blinding light will shine all over the arena as he would then be covered in light. Due to the resistance of his new magic, he was unable to go blind, but it was still pretty hard to see the scene with just his vision alone, now he was unable to identify where the enemy is. With a smile on his face, the man would now be covered in armor before swatting Elyx away with the giant sword in his hands. Such games should not be played unless someone really wanted to get hurt. But it did not just stop there, a gunner also arrived on the scene, the both of them now working together. Long-range and short range. Two on two, it seemed like a fair fight. That was not what the Sky Deity Slayer wanted, and so fortunately for him, he was able to summon another Celestial Spirit without any cost other than magic. Pulling out a white key from his pouch, he would then begin to open the gate. I open the gate of the Chronicle Mage! Come forth, Aludra! The young mage exclaimed, blinding light of his own revealed as the Spirit World had been opened, the gate closing as a new spirit arrived. The worst one in his opinion, not appearance or combat wise, but personality wise. Maybe Toka competed for it, but she did not purposely try to annoy him. Aludra made sure to play pranks on Elyx often, but now she won't be given the chance, since she was now fight.

Her arms crossed and her eyes closed, she would emit a bored tone from her voice. Jeez, you are always such a hassle. All right Monkeys and Virgo, you're going down! The Celestial Spirit Mage exclaimed as she then placed up her palms, the sky above the Volcano being darker than it was now before a sudden shine of light occurred, a meteor summoned from above. The Meteor was devastating, but the Gunner seemed to have no problem with it. Now that he had the chance, Elyx would take the moment to muster up two more spheres of wind in his palms before he would pounce at his opponent. The Swordsman was about to go for the Sky Deity Slayer, only to be stopped by Virgo. The Gunner shot, but then Elyx pressed the spheres against the stomach of the opponent and sending him to the ground. He landed safely, but clear damage was shown. The meteor was stopped as well, now falling as small pebbles. Virgo was unable to keep up with the speed other opponent, but her distraction was good enough to keep Elyx safe. The sides then returned back to normal.

The puppet was taken down, the real gunslinger was here now, but not in the best conditioner. It seemed that he was going to take some real damage if the numbers game keeps going like this. Virgo survived the other opponent without a scratch. With a smile on his face, he would look over to Aludra, who looked forward with a matching smile as her palms were placed right in front of her. A beam of light was shot from her palms, it had quite the devastating amount of magic in it. If that was going to be it, she needed back up. Virgo would dig into the ground, planning to take on the Gunslinger and launch him into the air. Elyx in the meantime took the role of handling the heavily armored guy. The blade quickly swung down onto him as he ran, but the Wind Deity Slayer stepped to the side just barely in time. Then he'd jump up onto his opponents blade to use it like a bridge. Greed was a lot stronger than he had expected, but that only made this battle a lot more fun. It would have sucked to have an opponent who did not fight back. The enemy sliced to the side, trying to knock him down and off the blade. However, with Air Step active of Bound Iris, he continued to run before then pouncing on his opponent with a fist full of violent amounts of wind. However, upon impact, only he was the one to take the damage. A snarl would form on his lips, no enemy was able to do such a thing, block his attack like it was nothing? Impossible! The white light beam also was headed for the enemy, who did not even waste his time with blocking. All of the heavy armor blocked the light without even a dent made. What the hell was this supposed to be!? And how were they going to take it down!? But with a bit of thought, the Slayer would relax, every opponent had a weakness. Now instead of using force, he had to use thought. Hopefully thought would get him somewhere.

Virgo in the meantime popper up with an uppercut punch, but only for that attack to be dodged by stepping back. In return, he fired at the Celestial Spirit, who took a bullet quickly. Her lips held together, preventing herself from letting out a yell. Probably because there would be a hint of pleasure in it. In return however, when she opened her eyes, she would push her arms forward with the chains still around them, whipping downwards at her opponent who thought she would be taken back by the recoil. Instead, the enemy took two chains from her attack, one per chain. Landing on her feet, she would stumble a little bit, but she was still able to fight. Though her health was a bit questionable, she was not willing to let it stop her. After all, she did like pain inflicted onto her.

The Gunslinger spun back up onto his feet, locking in combat with Virgo was not going to be easy. Sure, she got him, but she got him three times. If they exchange damage at this rate, the Celestial Spirit would win. It seemed that a new move had been added in his arsenal though, as a sudden flurry of bullets were fired at the Celestial spirit. In return, she dug back in the ground with no problem with dodging them. Though he fired explosive bullets under the ground, the Celestial Spirit was still able to get away from the rapidfire until Aludra took the wheel with a surprise ball of light, successfully striking the gunslinger on the back, causing him to stumble forward. In return, he turned around quickly and fired a bullet at her without trouble hitting her, knocking her on her back, it was not going to be easy to block his attacks if the bullets were faster than she was. The other Celestial Spirit took care of business by being able to successfully uppercut the opponent by the chin, bringing them both in the air. While she had him, Virgo would tightly wrap the gunslinger with her chains. Shots were fired at the ground, but he to face it, there was no escape once you are wrapped in the Zodiacs chain. Virgo had no problem releasing her catch though, just not in the way you would hope. she raised both of her arms behind her back before forcing them forward, bringing the gunslinger forward as well and slamming him against the ground. Severe damage has been done onto this opponent, it seems the Gunslinger does not have much left. Even without Elyx, they fought well without his commands, though they did prefer if he did give them orders. However, they understood he was busy, so they did not mind working on their own for now.

Elyx in the meantime looked for some sort of weakness on his opponent while he was dodging the extremely faster swings of the blade. Every now and then, he would be grazed, but that damage adds up, and in the end, it all added up into a full blow that would hurt if taken all at once. However, it did not hurt so much since the pain was shared throughout his body, lessening all of the pain throughout his body. And the new recovery system in his body made things a lot easier for him as well, instead of being forced to attack, he felt his body slowly but surely mending itself back together. Too easy, the Sky Deity loved his new abilities, they did not even allow him to die like the Swordplay Devastation spell set did. And now it was all his. This was the power of a slayer. And now he had figured it out... There were some damage areas on the armor. Or what looked like it. Regardless, they were openings to take advantage of, so why not? Just taking down a few limbs here and there, it was time to execute the plan.

The Gunslinger all of a sudden pulled out four black crystals, which looked beyond dangerous. Aludra did not like the look of them, placing out her palms to try to bring out a pillar of light, preventing the slinger from placing any of them in. The slinger avoided the attack with a backflip, Virgo then placing her own palm out to fire a piece of the ground at him. This prevented him from loading any of the crystals, sure, but with his free hand, he fired back two bullets at Aludra. Both of them being much faster than her, she took both of the hits and shattered to pieces. No... This was the first time a Celestial Spirit has been defeated and forced back into the Celestial Spirit world. Virgo held the anger of Elyx, her eyes all of a sudden becoming hollow. Her lips did not move, but her facial expression showed that she did not like what she had just witnessed. Both of the chains extended to their maximum extent before she violently began to lash, her passive ability now becoming an active one. The chains spun around with such violence as the slinger loaded the crystals. In a desperate effort to load them, he took the chains violently while locking his feet in place so he would not receive knockback. One loaded, two loaded, three loaded, and a sudden stop, the damage was too much, and eventually, he fell to the side with his eyes closed. It was game over for the opponent who once stood in their way. Virgo was not one to anger, because when you do, she will automatically go into punishment mode, making sure the last waking moments of your life are a nightmare. Fortunately, with her anger satisfied, she would drop down her guard, knowing that her battle was over. For now at least.

Elyx now knew how to attack. All he had to do was blow down one of the limbs that connected the bones together, because that was where the openings would be located. Charging at his opponent, he would form a spear in his right hand before jumping over a quick slice from the enemy. With a smile on his face, he would amplify the spears power to the maximum before then throwing it with all of his strength, mixing that with all of the force of the spear, and in the end, he was able to strike a direct hit to the back of the knees. It was a direct hit, the spear clearly cutting through, taking off the leg. Enough Greed! This battle is over for you. A manly voice would exclaim. All of them would look up towards the direction of the voice, but neither the Sky Deity Slayer nor the Celestial Spirit could see where it was projected from. In the end, Greed ended up jumping up the Volcano quickly, leaving them all behind. Who was that? And was he going to do anything? Onto the next opponent.

The arena then began to grow, giving them a lot more fighting room for Diablos to witness and even more brutal battle. If he loved what was currently going on, then he will definitely love what will happen to the next opponents that he brought up. In all honesty, with this new magic, he felt like he was back at the tournament, stomping on enemies until the final boss revealed himself, giving him an actual fight that Elyx was able to appreciate. With Virgo by his side, the both of them will have an easy time. Hopefully she will be able to stay out long enough for Diablos to come out. Her strength lowers as time passes, and eventually, she will have to close her gate. It did not bother him that she had to do this, it was not like he was going to force her to stay out of her limits. In fact, he would encourage her to rest so that she would be in her best condition the next time she was in battle. And so the next opponent would appear, a giant demon that did not even dare hide himself. It was big, but Elyx sensed no magic flow coming out from it. All right, so it had to be a physical fighter. Time to warn his Celestial Spirit. Virgo, he has no magic whatsoever. He's probably good with melee combat, do what you can to hold him in chains, I'll be sure to help you out. Elyx explained before placing both of his palms up. Virgo gently nodded her head at the command before extending her chains back to their usual fighting length. Yes master. She would reply to him, once again breaking his rule to not call him that. The demon looked back at them with a smug grin on its face as it then began to charge at them. The boy would look at it with smile on his face as he prepared to defend.

Both fists would then collide together, their power being exactly equal to each other. It was too perfect, their enemy was not going to be too hard after all. Not while Virgo was here. She jumped upwards onto the arm of the demon, her feet level to the head of the opponent before she gave a mighty kick to the head. The impact caused it to stumble, giving Elyx a chance as he would place his palm against the stomach of the demon, using his wind to amplify the amount of force behind the press before sending it sliding. Virgo ended up landing on top of the Sky Deity Slayer, causing him to lose balance and fall forward while the Celestial Spirit landed back onto her feet. Well, every moment of glory also had to have a moment of awkward at some point. At least it was with Virgo, who did not express emotions due to her being a maiden and being a huge masochist. Well, they had the upper hand in the fight if not anything else.

To fight physically without any magic was a bad idea, it was a fatal mistake that many people make. When he had his previous magic before, he was unable to use spells for a little bit, and thing were definitely hard. So he did not give up on magic completely, but just simply Lerale magic, and it helped him heavily. But relying on your physical stats alone was a dangerous move, it will definitely not get you too far on the battlefield. That was why wrath was having a hard time with dealing with him and Virgo already. They had the numbers, they hard the tricks, and all he had were the stats. Not even either, their muscles were just about even. Sure, Elyx had some boosts, but regardless, the impacts had the same amount of effect as the other one. With Virgo there, that is an extra amount of damage inflicted onto the opponent, and a knockback that gives Elyx an opponent to inflict even more damage. But why stop there? Virgo would cover for him as he pulled out a key, going down into the ground preparing for any charging demon that was going to head for him. Wrath was ready to attack, and would do just that. His speed would be cutoff by an uppercut from Virgo, followed up by a slash of her chain, slamming its head against the ground with the chains. The impact was devastating. Elyx in the meantime slashed diagonally with the green key in his hand. I open the gate of the Chronicle Neko! Come forth, Lindsey! He would announce as blinding white light was reveal all over the arena, not a single little particle left out. Once the light cleared, Lindsey would appear in front of all of them with a smile on her face, a danger in her hands, and a cheery attitude all over.

Lets get him Lindsey! Elyx would exclaim as they charge. Virgo would land on the ground as both him and Lindsey would chase after the enemy in from behind. The demon attempted to block an attack from the Neko as she sliced with her dagger. However, being much faster than the enemy, she was able to throw the dagger right before the block would be attempted, the Wrath would take a stab to the chest. With a smile on his face, Elyx would place both of his palms against the stomach of his enemy, the spheres pressing against it and sending it flying. It was too perfect, the three of them inflicted critical amounts of damage onto the demon. It suffered damage from the barrage, three against one without magic, who was going to win in the end again? Rubbing her hair as they all landed, Lindsey would smile and pur gently before then regaining focus. Virgo in the meantime stood by their side again, waiting for the next action. Elyx would wait for the enemy to make his move, without the Virgo ground trap set this time. It was like an actual RPG.

Virgo clenched her teeth a little bit as a wave of pain jolted through her. It seemed like her time was going to run out. But when the both of the party looked towards her, she tried to hide it, refusing to let herself be taken back by a little bit of pain. What helped this mask was how she was able to smile a bit, which looked a bit more odd, but it was expected since she liked pain inflicted onto herself. Therefore, Elyx will keep her out for a little bit more unless the situation demands otherwise. Lindsey on the other hand was bright and perky, always full of energy as she folded her wrists towards the ground like a cat. Her eyes closed and lips sealed in a smile, a small triangle revealing itself from the corner of her lips to show her tooth in it. The smile on Elyxs face would also reveal itself, she was just so freakin adorable, it was hard to stay serious when confronted with such a face. It was nice to have her by her side, both for combat and her overall perky nature. The three of them were ready as Wrath then glared at them, ruining their moment. And for that, he was going to pay heavily with his life. Wrath charged at the group of them with its fist held out before it then successfully struck the ground, the arena shaking and the ground breaking rather quickly. Virgo tried to control the splitting rocks being fired their way, it was a shame that they were unable to do anything else though. Only the three of them was left from all of the ground that was destroyed. It seems like the Celestial Spirit was unable to keep up with the physical power of the enemy. Elyx forgot that such things could be used as weapons. It was like being able to manipulate the earth if you were strong enough to break it.

In return, while Virgo protected them, Elyx placed both of his hands over his mouth in a spiral, breathing in all of the air around them quickly, the air compressing in his lungs. Lindsey herself threw a few daggers at the Wrath enemy, but it knew better and would try to dodge. Virgo stood in place, unable to do anything as her body began to glow with white light. And sooner than expected, she had disappeared, unable to hold out any further. It was a shame, but she had done them a lot of good. She deserved a break from the battle. He would then release the compressed air from his lungs as a giant spiral of violently spinning winds would be launched, and the daggers sped along with the wind, all of them striking directly at the chest. This followed up by the spinning wind had great effect, knocking the Wrath enemy backwards as its back was slammed against the wall. It was unable to act while it relied on physical power alone.

All righty, Virgo down, but so was the enemy. Now was the time to finish it all! Lindsey was hyper, her speed fast on all fours as she charged towards Wrath. As the enemys back was slammed against the wall, she would help add impact by punching one of the daggers, sinking it deeper into the chest of the enemy. Fortunate, it was a definitive move for the battle, one too crucial to let go of so quickly. She'd pull out the dagger that had sunk in like that before slicing upwards, knocking it into the air and freeing all of the daggers stuck onto its body. Elyx in the meantime took this chance, both of his palms creating spinning air in each of them until eventually, they formed to create vibrating violent winds. Perfect. His legs charged towards the unsuspecting launched enemy, who braced itself for the next impact Lindsey would provide. And though that was the right call to make since the Neko was not going to stop there, it would be the Sky Deity Slayer that would get to it first, slamming both spheres against the chest of his enemy. It was the final blow, both of the winds sinking deep into the body of the opponent, and thus creating major impact. With this much force behind his movements, and due to the amount of damage his enemy had already taken, the Wrath would be slammed not only onto the wall, but into the wall as well. It looked like a decoration in his opinion, a stupid looking one at that. If only there were a trash can. Regardless, it was stapled to the wall, thus leaving it unable to continue battle any further, though it probably would have not liked to do that anyways.

Landing on the ground, he would meet Lindsey in front of him, her face back to smiling rather than grinning as she say the summoner arrive right in front of her. Though she was not as strong as Virgo, and though she may not have as many tricks, she was still very effective in battle, and she had helped him out a lot. If only he were able to repay her for her actions. A nice meal of fish? Maybe a trip to the river? Wait, it was expected that the Neko's don't like water. Good, because Elyx hated it as well, mainly due to fear. Though it died down a little bit, it was still in him.

With a smile on his face, he would place his palm on her head to pet her gently. She purred before letting a  "Nya" escape her lips. Elyx chuckled before turning around, waiting for the next opponent to arrive. His body was in good condition, his energy, not so much. But this endurance contest was still going on? Diablos must expect them to be heavily weakened, and once Aludra and Virgo have slept, they will make the life of the devil a living hell. Get it? Okay.

The next one looked like a dark angel in a way, though it probably would have been more threatening if the colors that he wore were a lot less colorful and bright. White does not look badass when trying to look like a villain, stick with black, it was how it was supposed to be anyways. But enough about the fashion, this guy looked like the previous guard that he had to deal with before, in Arianna's castle. In that castle, she was able to use a sword and a shield at the same time, making things very annoying since she blocked many of his attacks, and of course he could not use his clones, otherwise he would end up taking four times the damage whenever she used an all around attack. Therefore, he had to keep his guard high. But now, this opponent that they were placed in front of had a shield and a sword too, and he seemed pretty smug about his chances with that stupid little smirk that he had on his face. A costly mistake that many people make, underestimating Elyx. It was always that way, them thinking he was just a stupid kid who barely became an adult. Now he was just a stupid kid who barely became an adult and just recently became the Sky Deity Slayer, so there you go. On the plus side, not once had that Sky Slayer lost a battle with someone who unestimated them, and he did not mind making them feel bad by taunting them. After all, they were taunting his abilities by thinking he would not amount to them.

Well, the battle would begin the same way. The both of them, him and Lindsey, would charge at their opponent before Lindsey struck with her dagger. In return, the man blocked the attack with his shield. Taking advantage of Lindseys distraction, the Slayer would jump up before slamming a palm full of wind into his opponent. With such a blurring speed, he would be on the other side of his opponent, the scene dark right before as a slash had been shown. Then the shieldsman collapsed as Elyx blew some wind into his palm, like he were taking out a fire or something. Lindsey took advantage of this, dealing the third blow by kicking the fallen enemy into the air. He was rather light, it seems like this battle would be easy while the numbers game worked with them. But if he was enough to be a knight working for the one that Elyx was after, then there had to be some sort of trick up his sleeves. He was taking it easy on them now, but the both of them would prepare as he got up. With his smirk still on his face, the opponent clearly had something to show them. Clenching his teeth, he would place his hands up, not quite sure how much energy he had inside of him left. He just hoped he could endure at least this fight.

It seems the attacks of the slayer are not as effective as they used to be. Otherwise, there would be some severe wind burns on his opponent. That was what every other one who faced his roar had to deal with, and they looked might nasty. But the angel did not have any on him. An interesting opponent, but it was not going to stop him from thinking about the other plan. Celestial Fire, and he needed to use plenty of it. Sadly, it would cost him heavily, say his magic power for example. It would also cost him his health,  though hopeful repair would keep that in check. Three Celestial Spirits at once was going to be hard for his body to do, all of them linked to him at the same time. But with the desperate need for Celestial Fire to be used, it was his only option, the cheaply burn his opponent. Hopefully the price for doing such a thing won't be hefty. Two random keys slid out from his pouch, not leaving him with many options left. It was Phoena and Toka, they were the best shots that he had right now. Slicing them both, he would open two gates at the same time, clenching his teeth in the process as the two blinding lights were revealed. I open the gate of the Chronicle Barer! I open the gate of the Chronicle Swordswoman! Come forth Toka, come forth Phoena! He'd exclaim as the light dimmed down, revealing two more spirits. His body however... It was unable to move itself. Not even his arms wanted to move, his body was frozen stiff. What a terrible idea, to bring out three Celestial Spirits with his current strength, all to beat his opponent. Regardless, it will still get the job done at least. The three Celestial Spirits stood side by side.

Always trying to get us involved, idiot? Toka would ask, only for a gentle nudge from Phoena to take back that question. She was calmed with simply a touch from Phoena, the Chronicle wielder was much stronger than he had anticipating. With a smile on their faces, one of them with determination, one of them gentle, and one of them just simply happy, they would execute their plans while Elyx would watch, unable to move. The pain of their links was having major effect on him though, his teeth clenching, and his Repairing ability unable to keep up with the pain. Pride shot a ball of chaos towards Elyx, only for the attack to be blocked by Phoena Chronicle, as her palm was placed up. A barrier to keep both her and the Sky Deity Slayer alive. She was charging up a devastating spell, it was one that could possibly destroy the arena itself and the young mage knew it. But being unable to move his body, he could not speak, he could only watch. Lindsey saw her chance, spinning a dagger at the wing of her opponent and shredding a tear into it before stepping back. Toka would slice downwards the same wing to add a little more pressure to it, then they stepped back, all of them now surrounding the angel.

Pride next took a moment to place out both palms, sudden pillars of light and darkness were falling all over the place. The speed of all of the pillars were insane, they flew downwards as if they were trying to beat lightning. With such a speed, both Lindsey and Toka took a hit from the attacks, which is not what was needed at the current moment. Elyx's body was freed once again, but not only did his plan fail, but both of his Celestial Spirits that were supposed to cover for them are now out of the way. Phoena was left, since her barrier protected the both of them form taking damage, but now they were down to just the both of them. One if it were to show how many would actually be fighting. Phoena was still charging her attack, meaning that the Sky Deity Slayer was going to have to attack and defend as much as he could. The only key currently that was not used was Yuni, his lowest ranked key. No matter how one looked at it, that was a bad idea, to involve her in such a thing. Then again, at this current pace, he desperately needed her more than anything. She was his last unused key, and though he could just try to bring out Aludra again, it was not so easy to say she could do much damage. Not to mention that her key was quick costly, and to use it like it were nothing was a bad idea, not while he was this low on energy. The winds around him swirled violently, he needed to supply himself with magic power, and the second usage of Champion Flow was the only way something like that was going to happen. His body was being refreshed by the winds, but not at all suddenly.

I open the gate of the Celestial Spirit Chronicle Commander! Come forth, Yuni! He'd exclaim as he sliced down the final key suddenly. Pride in the meantime would not let him off that easily, slicing his blade down onto the Slayer, who used his left hand to bring out Bound Iris. It was not such a good idea to be using his weapon and fight a physical battle, but what other choice did he have? The Blinding light then occurred, showing Yuni in the process with her giant sword in both palms. Her facial expression was dull as usual, not willing to show much emotion. That was fine, just as long as Celestial Fire continued to burn. Once she had been brought out, the enemy turned his shield to the back, not even taking the time to see who the new fighter was. This left him open! Placing the key back in his pouch, the Slayer would toss Bound Iris from his left hand to his right before blocking a sword blow again. Elyx would return his own attack one time, an uppercut that was meant to be blocked by Prides Shield, but since it was not in the way, the both of them were in the air. To help with this combo, he'd slice in a full circle to knock his opponent away and on his back.

Pride had sustained such heavy fire from the Celestial Spirit Celestial Fire effect, it was too much for him to take all at once, all of a sudden blood pouring out from his mouth. With the consistent hits that Elyx gave with Bound Iris, he was able to fight the opponent with much strength, even while low of magic power. Maybe it was the Champion Flow that was keeping him alive. That would just be his luck, perfect timing and all. Back as a Swordman, he would have never had problem with the magic. Mainly because he had plenty Magic Power inducing spells at his palm. And now he was unable to keep up with it. Mainly because the Celestial Spirits heavily relied on it. But now that he thought about it, he did have another summon to work with. It will cover for the two lost Celestial Spirits that he had just lost. Lindsey and Toka will be avenged, this was going to be a risky move since Elyx was losing breath already. Wait... BREATH! This plan was even better! There was air all around him, plenty of it clean as well! There was no need to take a risk, not while he had plenty of supply of wind around him. Breathing out heavily, he would then breathe in air quickly to gain some magic power, and though he was not even close to hitting force, he felt a little bit more refreshed. The air was not his own, it was the air around him. There was almost no place on earth in which there will be a lack of it. This was probably why Alcore chose for him to be a Sly Slayer. Either that, or he full well knew that the Sky Deity Slayer was using wind, and the lacrima that unlocks the elements full power was to be activated like the Yucai had promised. With a smirk on his face, he would then place out both of his palms as a pillar of wind formed in front of him, a little pillar to summon the next beast to fight for him.

A smile on his face would reveal as the pillar of wind took shape into the beast he wanted to summon. And with Champion flow helping, he did not lose any magic power, it was like having a free spell. Perfect. It was now time to fight, the Phoenix Bird agreed as it quickly roared. Pride tries to take it down with a huge beam of light, but before he could fire, Yuni quickly took the wheel by stabbing the wings with her giant blade. One hit. The Phoenix of Wind fired a beam of wind while the angel was distracted, a second hit as the opponent lost his weapons. Pouncing onto his opponent, the Sky Deity Slayer raised Bound Iris behind his back before slicing down quickly onto the enemy. It was a fitting end for such an opponent, him slicing down onto the chest, the tip of the blade through the chest as blood had been drawn. A critical hit, his opponent won't be recovering from that for a while. Was it... The End? That was what the young mage would like to think, he only had a little bit of energy left.
