The nourishing essence literally flowing into her body via her Effluvium, while more of the creeping taint seeped out from her at the same time, gathering up every consumable organic material around her. Plants, bugs, and even discarded food and drinks in trash cans, none escaped the shadow locusts’ hunger. By the time she was done, the area would be an urban wasteland. A simple enough task, Noir had done this countless times by now. She should be done soon... If not for the arrival of this... stick-wielding girl. The Harbinger felt a twang at the back of her neck, the kind that instinctively sent her on alert. Her slitted pupils turned towards the unknown blunette. Oh, she was one of [i]those[/i], huh? Nosy self-righteous white knights who has nothing to do but intruding the businesses of others. Sigh... what were the odds she wield the accursed power of Metal too? Although... she did look like a tasty treat. Heh, if she wanted to play the heroine then fine, Noir would humor her. Who ever said heroes always triumph? [b]”Oh? Thee seeth yourself as a heroine? How absurd!”[/b] Noir grinned, spreading her effluvium-coated wings in a grand display, even as more and more began to surround the blue-haired girl. It wasn’t just for show as Knight of Rose could feel the taint sapping away at both her body and soul. [b]”Tis’ most amusing to see thee hunting after me, even when I hold no responsibility for the severing of these mortals’ coil. A foolish heroine parading on equally foolish notions. If it be true thee wisheth to square me, then com-!”[/b] [b][i]”Oh, Noir~”[/i][/b] Her Mistress playful mental poke suddenly interrupted her from the blonde’s impromptu play, [b][i]”I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but a certain someone’s servant is here. Mind if I borrow your body for a little bit?”[/i][/b] Of course, it was a rhetoric, under what notion would her Harbinger refuse her wishes? [b]”Our humblest apologies, o’ Harbinger of the Infinite Abyss.”[/b] The Effluvium-coated girl turned slightly towards Annabelle, her voice carrying an otherworldly echo not present just before, her eyes glowing dimly red. Yes, one look at that Barrier of Nothingness, no Horror wouldn’t recognize Soth’s fearsome reputation. [b]”We have claimed this territory. In good faith, we would have to ask you to leave... or just stand idly and watch. Much appreciated~”[/b] With that, Mistress Hazak released her possession over Noir’s body, leaving the winged girl blinking then chuckling in mirth. [b]”Yeah, you heard us. This one’s mine.”[/b] With the fellow Horror addressed, the villainess returned to the dashing heroine, [b]”Then come! Come and abandon all hope!”[/b] With her wings unfolded in full display and arms outstretched, the storm of Effluvium rushed towards the Rose Knight. Soon, she shall wilt and be consumed, such was the ultimate fate of all roses.
