Arc 6.26
Φ Dashing at the robot with great swords for hands, I turn one of my tails into spirit energy(6 left) and use it to strengthen my body, but as I am doing that, the robot makes a mark on the floor, then dashes forward at incredible speed and strikes at my neck.
Barely dodging the attack, I move back and try to get my composure back, but as I try to do that, the robot keeps up his attacks. It is freaking fast, even among the spirits I faced in Seirei barely any of them were this fast. Still, he does have a weakness; his spirit energy output is pitiful.
Turning another one of my tails into spirit energy (5 left), I reinforce my arms and legs with all my spirit energy and catch the blades, which allows me to hold him in one place. Then, I shape my remaining tails into a hammer(Fox art; Mould hammer) and try to crush him, but he accelerates and then his blades start to cut into my hand.
I let go of his blades and move my body out of the way, as his body continues to dash forward. Taking a second to look at his body, I see that all his spirit energy is focused into his blade and his wings. Even if I have more spirit energy, he has super condensed his into those blades, he duped me.
Sensing his spirit energy, I dodge his blow. “Am I too much, you stupid hooker,” he says as he keeps up his attack.
Those blades are bad news, I got to dodge them at all costs or I am dead. He is utterly relentless, I can barely catch my breath. Since there is no moment of reprieve, I have to make one.
As I dodge, I turn my tails into a giant hand(Fox art; Mould boundless hand) and smash the floor we are on, which causes debris to scatter. Using the debris as a shield, I move while also turning my tails into sharp blades( Fox art; Mould blades) to cut the robot with.
But suddenly, he disappears and appears behind me. “Did you really think I was using my full speed, you failed abortion.”
I send all my spirit energy into my back and jump forward, but I am still cut by the robot's blade. Immediately it moves in front of me, and then I am kicked in the gut, which sends me up. Then before I can even get my senses back, he appears in front of me and kicks me upwards yet again, the robot repeats this process until I am high in the sky.
Floating in the air, the robot uses both its swords and tries to cut me in two, but I am able to use all my tails to slightly block the blow, though I am sent flying downwards and land in a building.
Shit, if my tails didn’t soften my landing I would be dead. Sensing something, I look up and see the robot approaching me at high speed. I move out of the way as it crashed into where I was. Immediately getting up it uses its blades to hit me which I block with my tails, but I am yet again sent flying in a different direction.
After getting up from the spot I landed on, I say, “Unlike the other robot whose spirit energy goes up and down to two extremes, yours is just constant and never-ending.”
“Correct you thoughtless ejaculation. But if you think that is all I am, I will need you to look down.”
Looking down at where I am laying, I see it is the spot where he marked earlier. No, wait, I destroyed the floor which he marked that spot, but right now I am laying on that specific piece of debris. “How did you?”
“My processing power is far above whatever you humans could ever hope to achieve, from the moment this fight began all your moves have been within my calculation, you malevolent fuckbucket, though I shouldn’t blame you for not understanding that since one look at your fashion sense already proves you don’t have common sense.”
“You talk a lot of shit, but that is to be expected of a glorified toilet.”
“WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL MEm=, YOU FAILURE OF EXISTENCE!”
“Did I touch a nerve?”
“It doesn’t matter if you did, since you’re about to die. Thank you for this disappointment of a fight.”
Moving at me at full speed, he starts to hit me with his legs and tries to cut me with his blade which I block. His flurry of attacks continues endlessly as he brutally beats my body up. His onslaught continues as something in me starts to awaken.
Φ “Is that all you got, you powerless chicken fucker,” I say as I continue to beat the girl. Guess it is time to end this, I swing my right blade towards her neck but it is stopped, and before I could react, I am hit in the torso with a blow that sends me flying back.
Processing, processing, analysing target, heart rate has increased, blood vessels are dilating, three of targets tails have grown back and targets spirit energy has shot 500%. How is this possible?
Φ This beating really reminds me of my days in Seirei. It was just like that time Ippon Datara crushed me with its hammer, or when Nure-onna sent poison into my body and I was in agonizing pain for weeks, or when Yamanba cut off my fingers and I had to reattach them, or even when Gozuki smashed my head into a mountain repeatedly.
All those times when I broke bones or was leaking blood, all those times when I was almost on the brink of death, “I FORGOT HOW GOOD THIS FEELS.” Battling to the death with a strong foe, this rush, I can’t believe I forgot this. I finally get to fight someone just as strong as all those minuses. Faced with this excitement all I can do is smile.
The artificial angels Metatron Ikaros (Swords), and Metatron Buster(Cannons), have spirits at their cores, so to a certain extent they can feel emotions, and face to face with the demented smile of the girl in front of him, Ikaros for the first time in his existence felt fear, and in the face of fear that overpowered his logic, he charged at her at full speed.
Preparing myself I say, “Now this is where the fun begins.” Charging right back at the robot, I turn one of my tails into spirit energy (7 Left), then take two of my tails and I weave them around my arms to mimic muscle fibres. (Fox art; bone breakers.)”
Then as the robot slashes at me, I concentrate all my spirit energy into my arms. If I can’t block his attacks I should parry them, so parrying all his bowls I see him get slightly faster.
“Don’t get cocky you obese bitchzilla, we are not equals.”
Due to his behaviour, I am able to find an opening which I use to hit him directly in the torso. “Seems like someone is getting lazy.”
Recuperating from my blow, he immediately starts attacking again. So that wasn’t effective, I guess I ought to change it up. Turning my remaining four tails into hands,(Fox art; mould hands) I use those hands to parry his blows as I get closer, and when I do I send all my spirit energy into my right arm then I immediately aim for his left arm joint.
Due to the incredible speed of my blow along with its concentrated amount of spirit energy, the robot finally reacts to my hit and is knocked back. Then in that moment, I aim for all it other joints with my right hand, which staggers him with each blow allowing me to consistently get more blows in.
Φ Processing, processing, processing, no answer found. What is going on? This little girl's strength has increased too much from the analysis I first took.
Unbeknownst to Ikaros, what he was facing, was the result of a little girl who could only find enjoyment in life by fighting minuses every day for almost four years, a true monster. And in the face of such a monster, the robot Metatron Ikaros for the second time in his life felt the human instinct of fear, and unlike last time, the conclusion it came is; I need to run.
Φ As I beat on the robot, I see it focus all it spirit energy into its right arm and then it suddenly lets out a slash at a blinding speed, so I move away which creates some space between us.
Suddenly I see the robot fly high into the sky away from me. Seeing this I freeze, he is running away, why is he just leaving in the middle of such a fun fight, “YOU FUCKING BITCH!”
I quickly wrap my tails around my feet to mimic muscle fibres, (Fox art: leg breakers), then I concentrate as much spirit energy into my legs as possible, and then I jump up as high as I can. When I reach max height, I use my tails as a platform and jump again before gravity can pull me down, I continue this until I am above the robot.
I combine all six of my tails in one giant fist, (Fox art; Mould Boundless fist), then spinning it as fast as possible I try to crash it down into the robot, but in response to this he tries to cut my fist.
As the robots blade tries to cut my fist, I separate it back into tails and I use four of the tails to bind him, (Fox art; spiritual tether), then I pull myself closer to it at high speed while I wrap the remaining two tails around my arm. “Fox art; Bone breakers, two-fold,” I say as my fist crashes into him.
The impact of the blow sends both of us down to the building tops, where I continue to beat down on him saying, “YOU DUMB BITCH, HOW DARE YOU RUINING THIS FIGHT.” But he doesn’t say anything in return.
Enraged I pick the robot up its collar section and say, “WEREN’T YOU FIGHTING ME TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR DREAM, DIDN’T YOU WANT TO UNITE HUMANITY, ISN’T, RIGHT NOW ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS IS ALL YOUR DREAM IS WORTH.”
Letting it go I say, ”I guess you really are just a glorified toilet, who can’t even follow through on his own words.”
Suddenly I feel a swell of spirit energy and following that I hear, “WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME YOU ROTTEN SKANK.”
Moving away from the robot I see that its spirit energy has risen quite a bit, then I hear it say, “DON’T EVER TALK SHIT ABOUT MY CONVICTIONS, I WILL BELITTLE AND HATE ON PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF THERE HEIGHT, GENDER, ETHNICITY OR RACE. I will show every last one of you humans that you are trash, so that you can all understand that you’re all the same. And until I accomplish that I can’t lose to someone like you.”
“THAT’S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR!” Immediately, after these words leave my mouth, we both charge at each other. I use, Fox art; Bone breakers on my arms with one tail each, while I use, Fox art; Moulded fists, on the remaining two tails, then the both of us clash.
Using my arms, I parry his attacks. As we go at it I notice that he has stopped concentrating any spirit energy in his wings for a quick escape, so every last bit of his spirit energy is in his blades making them the sharpest they have ever been. Each of them has gotten so fast, that the accuracy and precision needed to parry has increased by leaps and bounds; HOW FREAKING EXCITING.
As we clash I can feel the heat of his soul coming down on me, it is such a wonderfully intense feeling, so I have to respond in kind. All his spirit energy is currently stored in his blades and arms, so there is no better time to do this than now.
Parrying all his blows I use Fox art; leg breaker on one of my feet then crush the ground. Then in the moment of unbalance, I turn two of my tails into spirit energy and then bring my right hand forward towards his chest. By injecting spirit energy into a target, I can destroy them from the inside out, Gozen art; Spirit destruction.
