[quote=@Nemeses] *Stuffs the palm of my hand over the barrel of your gun, stopping the bullet in its tracks as smoke flows from the barrel under my hand, while the knife itself is caught short of landing by a ring of energy solid enough to catch it where the blade meets the handle, stopping it in its tracks* What purpose? A nice quote for your epitaph? *My palm glows and then releases a burst of light outward, launching a shard through your gun itself and blasting through it and your abdomen like a shard of shrapnel* [/quote] *Arcs the corners of my lips knowingly when you stop both weapons, preemptively releasing them and repositioning my arms* Building ourselves the tools to [i]take you down.[/i] *Mid-destruction, both weapons detonate in glorious explosions, and I burst from the emerging plume, dragging you by the side of your face and slamming it into the edges of the arena, grinding you down against the universe-facing boundary of the still-traveling Greater Gate spell like interdimensional sandpaper*
