I was currently outside of the cave waiting for Velzard, I saw her emerge with a gentle but concerned smile, "Is there something wrong?" I asked in concern.
"Um, can we talk?" Velzard spoke with slight determination.
————————————————
Right now we were standing back at the training field in the frozen continent, opposite me was Guy, 'Some serious deja vu.' I looked to the side with a rather annoyed expression and asked the hopeful Velzard, "Why exactly am I doing this again?"
" The theory is that we will get out all of your innate built up malicious bloodlust in battle. Guy will be your opponent to make sure that you don't go too far." Velzard explained while Nyx gave a thumbs up and Amanises barked and wagged her tail.
Guy chimed in from across me, "Nyx already informed us of her theory that your change is due to your own choice and not your skills work. Even if we don't fix something in you, we should at least be able to identify what's wrong with you."
I looked at Guy with understanding, "ah so you're the one fighting me because of your processing abilities."
"Precisely."
"But analysing my emotions requires to have extreme amounts of empathy. So tell me, since when did a demon get such a level of empathy?" Everyone looked at me as if I was stupid, " oh yeah, I forgot."
"Let's just begin." Guy announced
Velzard created a coin made of ice and tossed it into the air. Me and Guy got ready to whatever the other was gonna throw at them, both waiting for the icy clang of the coin.
Clingy
The sound rang out causing me and Guy to both move simultaneously. We both threw a punch, meeting eachother in the middle, our attacks causing a shockwave that nearly sent Nyx and Amanises flying if it weren't for Velzard being there. In fact Velzard's presence here was to make sure that the frozen continents and it's inhabitants are not in danger.
Guy had informed me that he wouldn't hold back and advised me that I shouldn't either. I made a sword and coated it in darkness made from natural energy. I slashed down at Guy, causing him to block my strike, the darkness didn't have an instantaneous effect but it seemed to strain him a little. He immediately broke my sword forcing me to use my hands, I attempted to create a couple more, but Guy was very adamant in making sure I don't use one.
I decided to met his challenge causing us to begin another destructive boxing match. My mind began losing itself, I know the point of this was to let out all the negativity but the thought of losing control still made me afraid.
Guy recognised my inner turmoil at a glance and took advantage of it to beat me down, further degrading my sanity. I felt every bit of me feel chaotic. Elysia began responding to Guys attacks and reduced the speed and impact of Guy's attacks, something that he noticed immediately. He began using his full strength which instantly knocked my conscience down to it's last legs. I couldn't hold on anymore and was forced to let myself sink into nothingness.
————————————————
Velzard was watching this devastating battle with concern. This concern deepened when Simon staggered and Guy took advantage to beat him to a pulp. Velzard wanted to step in to help.
…Until energy burst out from Simon's body and half of Guy's body was disintegrated. Guy looked at the man now getting up, his aura giving off a vicious, almost predatory aura. His eyes had changed from pitch-black to a concentrated cerulean blue, his mouth formed into wide toothy grin. Everyone who was currently watching, which was basically the entire frozen continent, made the same realisation…
…This wasn't Simon.
This mindless beast in human skin lunged at Guy with terrifying speed, the demon attempted to evade but Guy found space itself did not work in his favour. Guy attempted to block the attack but found it difficult over time.
Guy was now utilizing every skill he's ever copied to try and put down whatever has possessed his student.
He tried every angle to try and overwhelm or contain Simon but Guy had realized that even in a berserk state, Simon still had the instinct to adapt and work out a counter to whatever Guy threw at him.
Guy began using Velzard's tactics of absorb and fixate by combining the use of Leviathan and Gabriel. Unfortunately this didn't work, Leviathan was negated by Elysia and although Simon didn't have a counter to Gabriel, for some reason, each time he slowed down Simon, he just increased his speed to an equivocal degree.
Guy realized that Simon somehow has enough raw power to break out of any constraints he would made, so he decided to use overwhelming force to try and knock him unconscious or make him use up enough of his magicules to fall into a coma. He used Satanael to boost his raw power to an unbelievable degree.
The beast clashed with Guy with increasing voracity and force. Guy met him in the middle, the power matching each other…
…Until a glow of bright blue light illuminated from Simon's eyes and his magic energy began to undergo a qualitative change, a change so profound that Guy became completely overwhelmed to the point of being defenseless.
The entire audience watching and frankly trying to survive the onslaught that was unfolding noticed the change in the Prince of darkness. No one could recognize this change that was going on.
…All except for Velzard and Guy. This magic was something that they were both all to familiar causing the same thought to echo in their minds, 'Stardust!?'
Guy heard Velzard's voice through thought communication, 'Guy, you have to end this quickly!'
'Give me a sec, I'm working on it.'
Guy realized that everything he was doing was not working so he began to use the strategy that the mindless beast was using, throw motherfuckin everything. Guy used all of his power to its limits to overwhelm the saint and push him to overwhelm him and force him to use everything as well.
Simon did exactly as Guy expected and leaned the weight of his power into defending the attack. Guy saw that Simon was becoming drastically sluggish, he was ready to hit him down…
…Until he felt his vision becoming hazy, he had expended himself too much.
"Don't worry, just let me handle it." Guy heard a voice from behind him, the frost dragon was carrying both Nyx and Amanises simultaneously. She rushed towards the kneeling down Simon and immediately used Gabriel to slow him down just enough to get Nyx and Amanises close enough that their not in immediate danger.
They began to use Spiritualist and Darkness simultaneously, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.
