The rumbling sounds of the planet’s icy mountain coming down on the Blood God rocked the flat land they all stood on. While witnessing the destructive power of the Ethisian take place, the Granians feared that they too would be next to face their Wrath. The source of this content ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩
It was mesmerizing how Ace handled himself with the two, and given that he managed to kill every other Ethisian, it was an incredible feat that was worth not overlooking. However, even his strength, according to the Granians, wasn’t great enough to secure him a chance at living after he fought the Ethisians. They were simply too strong for him, and everyone in the Granians’ camps could see that, everyone except for Cherry, Skyler, and of course the Ethisians themselves.
"That was too close for comfort," Enoris, having been saved from the Mutant’s attacks, spoke to her comrade who stood still and motionless, almost as if he wasn’t mentally present. "Thank goodness you came and handled him. That’ll put him out of commission for sure, right Commander?"
The male Ethisian held his chest, his body quivering and shaking violently with the Eneraflux aura around him fading. It shook violently and then faded repeatedly, showing that his strength was leaving his body. Enoris looked closely and noticed a little drop of blood escaping through the corners of his mouth. However, the little drop soon turned into a streak and then a constant flow.
The male Ethisian coughed and choked on his blood, his eyes scrunched in confusion while his mind tried to make sense of what had just happened. The blood continued to flow, no matter how hard he tried to hold it in. With it came a stinging sharp pain throbbing through his chest and arms, mostly his chest. Even worse, the pain became so crippling that the Ethisian fell to his knees.
His comrade tried comforting him, desperately trying to make sense of the situation. Enoris held onto Commander’s chest and took note of the bulging veins showing how tight it was growing. It wasn’t normal for one’s chest muscles to contract to the point they were, and yet they were doing it so effortlessly and there was no sign of it stopping.
’What is this? What’s happening to him?’
"H-how...." Commander squeezed words through his mouth while he too tried to make sense of the situation. He just couldn’t put his finger on it, but for some reason, there grew a gnawing sensation at the back of his mind telling him what the cause of the pain was.
Looking up, the Ethisian noticed some of the rubble moving. His already aching heart sunk. His attempt at crushing the Blood God to death was not successful at all, and it only resulted in him getting hurt.
"Enoris," he cried, holding onto his aching chest while bleeding. "Keep him distracted as I try to overcome this...."
"What are you insinuating?" she asked, still confused about the situation. However, she too noticed the rubble moving, and it angered her. Her rage grew to incredible new heights, a behavioral pattern that she had never exhibited before.
"You know....what I’m talking about!!" grunting through the pain, Commander took a knee and put one fist on the ground, summoning all the strength he had. Slowly, he covered his body with Eneraflux and then channeled it to his chest in hopes of calming down the pain. "Take care of that damned Mutant while I heal. Stall for as long as you can..."
"I’m gonna put that thing in the ground!!" she angrily declared, charging her body with the same energy Commander used. Her aura, instead of flowing calmly and gently, raged and roared, showing a violent input and output.
Quickly, the Ethisian leaped, rather than ran, toward the pile of rubble and slammed her body through it. As she penetrated deeper, it became clear to her that the Blood God had not died. She could still feel its presence, and a few seconds later, she saw it.
There it was, hiding under the security of a barrier made from blood. For it to be that strong was a clear signification of his power and control over blood. Nonetheless, that did not matter to Enoris. No matter what, she was going to put this thing out of commission for good, or at least she was going to try.
"There you are!!" raising her hand, the female Ethisian folded her fists and started banging on the blood barrier. Like iron striking iron, her fist struck against the barrier violently, although there were no cracks, let alone scratch marks, left behind. For crying out loud, the barrier held on its own against a falling mountain. It was going to take more than a few punches to bring it down.
"Stop hiding!! Come out and face me!!" Anger blinded the Ethisian’s train of thought. With her emotions at an all-time high, the Ethisian became too blind-sighted in terms of her strength and that of her enemy. If she tried to fight the Blood God on her own, in the state she was in, she would be at his mercy, depending on how long he wanted to fight. "GET OUT OF THERE!!"
"Gladly." The five voices returned and peering through the thickness of the barrier were the Blood God’s eyes which glowed this time. Not having the usual white texture, its eyes glowed a violent red with the red aura surrounding its body.
Enoris lifted her hand and aimed for the Blood God’s head. Before she could even move the next muscles, the Blood God stretched his hand and grabbed her face with a killer grip. He used his strength and held her body in place while also using it as a support system to pull himself out of the barrier.
The Blood God arose from the rubble, his body swelling with energy and strength with a malicious, evil Blood Lust taking over his senses. Like Enoris, he too was angry but not at them. He was more angry with himself for taking too long to end the Ethisians once and for all. Even more, he was angry for letting such a cheap trick come crashing down on him... literally. He felt as though it was an embarrassment to his strength, his dignity, and most of all, his name. One just didn’t own the title Blood God without putting work into it.
"You wanted me to come out," he spoke, the five voices shaking Enoris from where she stood. "What’s the matter? You can’t back up what you said?"
The Blood God had enough. Instead of fighting with fists and kicks, he used his Blood Attributes to end the fight quickly.
Blood Tendrils emerged from his back and wrapped themselves around Enoris’ body. Elevating her body in the air, the Blood God took a good look at her struggling and fighting to set herself free. Coating her body with Eneraflux, she landed one kick with all her might on the Blood God.
The Blood God’s jaw was knocked out of place and as for the Ethisian, she was loosed from the tendrils, allowing her to get back on the ground. Still having a slight advantage, she power-kicked the Blood God again, using all the energy she had.
Enoris wasn’t giving up just yet, neither was she going to ’fight conservatively’ or ’gauge her opponent’s strength and hers’. She already saw the bleeding Commander go to his knees because of that so she had to give it everything she had.
Another power kick lifted the Blood God’s body knee-high, high enough for Enoris to quadruple punch him; left, right, left, right, and toped it off with a knee to his face. Still not letting up, she followed the falling body and added more speed to it with more hits, adding more strength with each new one.
The Blood God let it sit for a while, still buying time for himself. However, his body started to deteriorate. He could feel his power slipping away from him. It was already bad enough that he hadn’t been in battle for many years, and that he was inside a slightly weaker Blood Bishop body, but now that he was getting beaten up, it kept getting worse for him. Even more, his opponent wasn’t giving him any breathing room for she kept going with each attack.
"I decide when you’ve had enough!!" the Ethisian interrupted and grabbed the Blood God by its head, burying and drilling it through the remains of the broken mountain.
She then lifted him again and slammed his body into the upright wallas but just as he was about to connect, she grabbed him by the arm, drew him back, threw him again, and then slammed his body left and right repeatedly.
[You’re suffering injuries]
’Damn it. I can’t be losing control of the boy now!!’ the Blood God complained, seeing the system notification appear which meant that his time was nearly up. ’I must finish this...before that big one regains its strength.’
