Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Shifts out of its path and claps my hands on either side of the sword to slow its movements, while the lights aggregate and beam into you with a similar corrosiveness as the wind*

@Artifact

*Slides sideways out of its trajectory as well, and thrusts my hands straight out to either side of me*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Gets knocked down ward, blasting the corrosive wind upward with the same velocity, while small flickers of light bead together into orbs floating between us*

@Artifact

*Thrusts my palm forward as my blade rematerializes, sending it rocketing like a spear through the light at you*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*With a scowl, punches into your hand, meeting it halfway*

@Artifact

*On contact, the kinetic energy from your own hit is sapped as my fist continues on course, despite your fist being in the way*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I'm not going to give you much of a choice anymore.
*Knees you directly upward, and the wind-like force follows with your direction of travel, cutting into your essence*

@Artifact

*Despite the force definitely being enough to knock me away, I remain in place, though the blow definitely had an impact, and I bring my clamped hands down on top of your head*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Seems to immediately be facing the other direction and collides my fist with your head*
This is my greatest achievement, and it will be the last thing you see.

@Artifact

*Hits it with a loud thwack and stares you down*
I doubt that. I've got too much unfinished business in the living world.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Reaches behind me without turning, and grabs your hand mid-swing*
You’ve proven that you can handle gems, kinesis, and heat. But an angelic force beyond comprehension?

@Artifact

Who said anything about that?
*Opts to slam my head into the side of yours instead*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The sensation of a gust of wind satiates the flames, and I hold my hand to my ear*
Lieutenant, I'm going to burn the last of my time. Activate an overdriver and finish the job.

@Artifact

Focus!
*In a blur, I move in and clobber you on the back of the head*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Looks at my wrist briefly as a hint of concern flashes across my face before disappearing amidst the flames*

@Artifact

*Glances around*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

They symbolize far beyond mere vanity.
*Charges long pulses and shoots them into the sides of the bubble*

@Artifact

Clearly.
*The bubble fades, and I compress the inferno I hold in my fast, before thrusting my palm at you and blazing the entire area in front of me with a firey blast sweeping the battlefield*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Each a trophy of what I’ve overcome.
*The pillars charge for a moment before shooting a series of concentrated pulses*

@Artifact

Trophies? How vain.
*The bubble surrounding us morphs so that it now no longer surrounds anyone but you, as we pass through it without issue*
