*I nod, heaving a couple ragged breaths still reeling from the last burst.*

Thank you my king,

*My hand passes over the scythe, and consumes a fraction of the power. Knitting my wounds, then spinning the scythe a black wind blows and the blade of the scythe hums.*

I will not fail you.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*The black wind whips at your face, strains your vision for a moment. Enough time to rush towards you at mach speed, ripping through the shields with the scythe. The blow is earth-shattering.*

@Dark Cloud

*Lifts my knife in response, and the collision between the blows results in a shockwave in every direction, the ground beneath us cracking and tearing from its place, while the wind whips at its surroundings*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*creates a solid amaranthien knife, driving it between your shoulder blades as I slowly appear behind you*

Grace has no place on the battlefield. Only technique and awareness.

@souleaterfan320

*You're showered by multicolored sparks from the wound, and while the knife cuts my back, the Amaranthine is barred from directly touching my flesh by a resistive force*

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Difference being, this ties into the ultimate viewpoint the organization holds. And despite that, they still don't favor it. Pondered over that one at all, or do you just not care?

@Galaxy Raider

The organization is irrelevant. They too will share the new Existence.

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

*Glances over and sees you, raising an alarmed eyebrow for a moment but returning my focus quickly to The Legend*

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Translating that to English, I like the way that sounds. My thanks to your wife.
*Twists the blade in the ground, causing the manipulated gravity to also twist, warp, and intensify wildly*

@Valiance

*Places my hand to the ground and summons a pillar of stone that I use as a stabilizing point*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Then why don't you do it again? Sounds like a free win the way you put it.

@Valiance

*The black shields drop, and I stand in the center, my breathing stabilized but still irregular*
There’s a certain grace to combat that precludes overusing tricks like that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*after a few moments I shoot out above the laser downstream, smoking from my body and holding a metallic bowl-like shield*

@Ignacious

*When you arrive back on the planet, a black structure like a sarcophogus surrounds me, while the planet collapses into a more stable shape*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*Shrapnel flying outward, with such force from the burst several piercing my armor only jerking me backwards slightly. Yet as black ichor flows from my wounds it hardens around the shrapnel, the glow around me intensifying and I chuckle.*

No, I merely waited for retaliation you see...

*A shrill hum pierces the air as the light now engulfs the armor around me and the scythe I wield.*

The more you struggle, the more you try...

*My movements blurred I step in and out of perceived reality, in no rush to reach you.*

The more swift your end will come.

*Several shards of black metal fly at you as I suddenly lunge at you swinging my scythe.*

@Dark Cloud

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Aeron: *absorbs the blast in an amaranthine portal*

Tsk,Tsk,Tsk. That'll get you nowhere.

@souleaterfan320

*Hits the ground, heaving in short sporadic breaths as my bones and flesh knit themselves back together after the recoil of the previous attack*
You’ve earned new respect, Rica...
*Kite-like black shapes stack up on either side of me and bond together, and I sit down in their center, shielded from attacks*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*a grey magic circle appears on my feet, and I crouch, air swirling around my feet*
You always thought that, and you were correct sometimes…
*my eye flashes again, but now faded red marks appear on your arms, neck, and chest, revealing critical points on your body*
Sometimes.
*I launch myself off the circle with a boom, two blades in hand and slash at the red lines*

@Ignacious

*The device on my back extends into the barrel of a familiar cannon as tall as you—from one of the black spheres around me, a faint, distressed voice is audible shouting “No, w— do—“*
I’m always correct.
*My entire form is hidden by the shower of sparks that erupts from my body, while the cannon shoots a max-power doomsday laser at you point-blank; the blast annihilates a perfect circle out of the planet and continues to the outer edge of the dimension, where it causes the fabric of the dimensional barrier to ripple and buckle*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*The amaranthine constricts your arms and legs tightly, squeezing your wrists painfully and a single tendril twists around the box and forcibly crushing it*

You act as though you wish me to strike the blow, I am not one to so foolishly fall for tricks.

*The amaranthine now entwines you and wraps around your neck, choking you.*

@Dark Cloud

Then you’ve blown your chance.
*An outward force erupts from my body, ejecting the metal shrapnel from Gajeel’s attack and shredding the tendrils, dropping me from their grasp*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*grins and snaps, the prismatic color of the blades shimmer brightly and and then explode, blasting shards of metal everywhere*

@Ignacious

*Grimaces when the attack lands, showering me in the same sparks as before, keeping me alive*
Chaotic as always, Gajeel.
*A charging sound rings out from the equipment as something in the air changes, as if everyone were gently tugged toward the devices*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Funny, coming from you. I know you are prepared for opponents like that, thats what makes this fun and fair.
*slams the ball into the beam, and grey, metal blades burst out into your foot and at your arms*

@Ignacious

*Visibly tightens my jaw when the attack strikes, sparks of every color flying from the wound, while I use the opportunity to pull a mechanical device from the abyss that binds to the back of my hands, attached via a box on my back*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Gladly

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*Tendrils of amaranth wrap around your arms and legs, as I move towards you.*
Neither is one who won't sit still.

@Dark Cloud

You have one shot. Better make it count.
