----------------------------------------

Ra was not injured. Was it by luck or because Moloch was laughing at her, she had missed her attack ? Ra stood up and brought out her claymore and planted it in the ground before shouting:

- WHY??!!!!!

The wind around her began to pick up. The other white-haired woman smiled.

- Why... what?

Her smile was evil; one that Ra wanted to rip from her face. Ra screamed again, while moving her head with violence.

- STOP FOLLOWING ME!!!!

She clenched her claymore.

- STOP PISSING ME OFF!!!!!

She used so much force that the ground cracked around the blade of her claymore.

- LET ME LIVE!!!!!!!

And then her body began to glow. Ra's claymore turned orange — no, golden. Moloch watched her with amusement, arms crossed, not moving from her place. As if she was asking him to come to her, as if she was giving her a chance to survive. Ra took her blade out of the ground, it shining in a golden color. The wind was getting excited, like a storm that was coming. Moloch cracked her neck on the right side, then on the left side...

Before uncrossing the arms, stretching them as far as possible to the sides.

Like she was telling her to give her a hug.

This enraged Ra, who lunged at her, holding her claymore in both hands. A part of the ground under her was thrown backwards with violence, while Ra's blade met Moloch's body — or rather, the shield of Moloch.

- !!!

Blocking the blade with her left arm, a purple shield with a faint glow can be seen. However, this did not surprise Ra, who already knew how Moloch worked: so she attacked from the other side without waiting. Moloch protected herself again, but Ra did not stop. The attacks came behind Moloch, in front, on the left side, on the right side, on the top, near the legs, on the right foot, on the head, on the skull everywhere. Ra took momentum with her right foot and, while shouting, tried to pierce her shield that was on her left arm.

Because yes, Moloch only blocked with her left arm. Not even the right one.

- FUCK YOUUU!!!!

Ra screamed and was thrown into the air as Moloch waved her arm upwards. Ra opened her eyes wide and placed her claymore in front of her, protecting herself from Moloch's attack. Jumping high into the air with inhuman strength, she tried to hit Ra, but ran into the blade of her claymore. Nevertheless, Moloch didn't care.

And the blow went through the blade to hit Ra's face.

- ?!!

Ra almost dropped her claymore while flying even higher in the air, but she grabbed it with all her soul. As she fell to the ground, the color of her claymore began to glow in a different way, an underworld red color, like the fire that burns only for fishermen. Ra landed on both legs and closed one eye: even if she is healed, she

Moloch arrived in front of her, not even allowing the world to understand what was going on.

........

The fight was so fast that even a God could not understand what was going on.

Moloch's movements were all blocked by Ra, but who but this woman could do such a thing? Moloch's fists, soaked with a Power that Ra did not want to taste, all collided against the claymore's blade. Each blow resounded in the emptiness of the plain like the raging thunder of the Gods, while Ra's cries trying to counterattack were only cries begging to be allowed to live. Moloch finally hit the ground which broke for meters and Ra lost the balance. Moloch took advantage of this and tried to hit her enemy with her right foot, but Ra had to defend herself again by protecting herself with the blade of her claymore. Moloch smiled and put her second foot on the blade, stepping on it before jumping into the air. The ground crumbled under Ra and she had no choice but to escape, but Moloch, right above her, made a V with her right index and middle fingers.

And a majestic bow appeared above her, representing her two fingers.

With her other index finger, she passed it in the middle of the V and pulled...

And the bow bents, a giant arrow now on the string.

Ra opened her eyes wide and the color of her claymore just began to change as Moloch smiled.

- Forget... the unforgettable.

In her calm, yet angry voice, she let out words that only Ra could understand. Opening her eyes, opening her mouth wide, fleeing for her life, Ra started to run, almost crying. She never thought Moloch would find her so quickly. She never thought...

But her thoughts could not end, for the arrow pierced Ra with its greatness, with its point capable of piercing a moon if Moloch wished.

The arrow continued its path into the ground of Arcave and Ra rolled to the ground, dropping her claymore which lost its bright color. It flew into the air and planted itself further away, while Moloch descended from the air to the ground.

But before her first foot could touch it, Moloch turned her head to the right, delicately and without the slightest fuss.

And in the corner of her eye—

A fox-eared Kemono sliced her head with a flaming blade, crimson in color.

Moloch's head flew into the air and the Kemono screamed before kicking it with her foot, sending it flying away. Moloch's body fell to the ground, blood pouring out of the arteries in her neck. The Kemono breathed with difficulty, the fire from her blade began to fade and she blinked.

- R-Ra!

The Kemono ran towards the female figure with long white hair, totally motionless and lying on the destroyed ground. With difficulty because of the pieces of earth that were in all directions, forming small hills and ditches, the Kemono finally arrived at Ra's body. She began to shake her body.

- Ra!!!

The flame-haired Kemono had dropped her sword, shaking the woman's body. Her eyes were closed and she didn't move a muscle, especially since the Kemono had seen it: the gigantic arrow that pierced her. She had not been quick enough when she noticed that something was wrong on the outside: or rather, it was her little sister who had first felt it. That fox-eared Kemono was—

- Raaa !!!!

Nara.

- R-Ra...?!

As she continued to call out to him over and over again, Ra let out a small moan and her eyelids trembled. She finally opened her eyes and opened her mouth.

- M-Mo...

- Mo...?

Nara didn't understand what she was trying to say. Ra closed her eyes before gritting her teeth.

- Mo... Mo... Move...!

- Mo—?!

As Nara finally understood what Ra was saying, she felt it. That foul, horrible AURA coming out of the underworld. An Aura that prevented Nara from moving, her heart stopping in fear at the mere presence of this person behind her. A sword with a shining blade in her hands, she smiled.

- An eye for an eye...

The woman showed her sharp teeth before lowering the blade madly.

- A tooth for a tooth!

She planted Nara and Ra at the same time, a murderous urge in her eyes, in her voice, in every cell. A sound of ice breaking sounded and the woman squinted. Her blade had been stopped by another blade, icy, which broke into a thousand pieces.

Nara turned around suddenly, her heart coming alive and her body screaming for survival. She grabbed Ra and ran a little further, breathing so fast that it was as if she wasn't breathing. Another Kemono approached them and Ra coughed before opening one eye.

- H-How?! shouted Nara.

- M-Moloch...

Ra pronounced the name of the woman with the long white hair, although their purity did not exist, she who was in front of the two Kemonos and her sworn enemy. Moloch raised both arms and, with a smile that only fools could make, she introduced herself to the two Kemonos.

- How do you do, my foxes! I'm Moloch, you've already heard of me, haven't you?

- MOLOCH?!!!

Nara shouted her name and the Kemono next to her, who was Sara, her mother, put a hand in front of her, making her understand not to take a single step forward. Ra pushed herself away from Nara and fell to the ground coughing again.

- H-Hey!

- My claymore... Give it to me.

- I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Ra squinted and turned her head, including her gaze, towards Moloch. Nara and Sara watched the woman with the crazy look with fear and incomprehension: especially Nara.

- I have...

- You killed me, is that what you mean?

- ...

Moloch took a step forward and began to clap. She closed her eyes and a blade appeared in her hand.

- Give me that woman. Yes, the one with Ra's name. I have no reason to kill you, so I'll leave you alone after I kill her. Is that okay?

Orders. Moloch's words could only be seen as orders. She was making it clear, just by the expression on her face and the tone she used, that if they didn't obey, only death would await them. Nara clenched her fists.

- How are you not dead?!

- ...

Ra stood up and watched Moloch with an anger that only she could understand. One that burned her body and was the only reason she was able to get up. Moloch pointed at Ra with her free hand and bent her head.

- What about her?" asked Moloch.

- Right?

Nara and Sara turned their heads to Ra who smiled.

- Because you're an asshole, little bitch," said Ra.

- Language, language!

Moloch shrugged her shoulders and Sara looked quickly to the right before making a quick gesture with her head, pointing to something behind her. Moloch was not focused on that Kemono, so she did not notice, but it would not matter to her anyway. She pointed at Ra again.

- Give me that woman and I'll leave you alone. I don't care if you saw my face, I don't care if you know I was here, I don't care about any of that. I just want to Ra and plant her heart and sing her one last lullaby.

Moloch spoke like a mother who wanted to kill her child; but perhaps their relationship was actually that. Nara held Ra, hesitantly avoiding her fall. She looked at her sword, which had remained behind and blinked: gone. What Nara had just done was simply retrieve her Power, even though in reality, this sword was not her Power... Nara gritted her teeth.

- How are you—

- You already asked me this question, Kemono.

- ... Tsk.

- If I answer, will you give me this woman?

Moloch began to play with her blade, not even paying attention to the front. It was as if she didn't need to worry about those around her since she would never lose. A confidence that was not allowed to everyone, but only to those who could not fear anyone. Moloch was that kind of person and she didn't hide it. She sighed as she closed her eyes and patted her left arm.

- I could come at you, kill you in a second and then end this woman's life, you know?

Moloch opened her eyes, showing the menacing glow inside them.

- You are just lucky that my flaw is that I want to have fun with my prey. I offer you your life and yet you dare to challenge me.

Ra squinted: she was absolutely right. Ra knew very well that if she wanted to, Moloch could kill her right away... but she liked to have fun too much. Take your time and get it over with. Their fight in the Runn cemetery was one of the few times Moloch had not wanted to waste time, but Ra had to give 200% to hope to survive. Here, if Moloch wanted to, she could have killed her more quickly... but it would not have been fun.

When she was sure of her victory and in the mood for a laugh, Moloch took her time, like a cat playing with a mouse before killing it.

Ra, however, was different. She fell into that category too, as did everyone Moloch met, but she was not a toy for this woman: she was more like a thorn in her foot. Unbearable and painful, an existence that did not deserve to be. Moloch wanted to get this thorn out of her finger, whether it was with laughter to mock her or with speed so that she wouldn't have to think about it anymore.

But Ra would never let herself be taken in. Both were in each other's way.

The difference between the two white-haired women was clear: Moloch wanted to kill Ra at any cost, while Ra was not looking to do such a thing. Although Ra would be happy if Moloch died, it was not a goal in her life. She did not actively seek to kill her, whether it was because Moloch would never be killed by Ra alone or because she was not a bloodthirsty murderer like her. Ra was not on the level, but she was not not as crazy as this... nutcase.

- I accept to answer you, young Kemono.

Moloch smirked and stared straight into Nara's eyes as she took a step back in fear. Her mother created a blade of ice in her hands and gritted her teeth, preparing to protect her daughter even at the cost of her own life. Moloch licked her lips and took another step forward. Slowly, slowly, like a lion approaching a wounded prey, unable to move. Why not take her time in such a case, since nothing could happen to Moloch? Because no matter what, she would never die or suffer because of such... insects?

- You cut off my head, you hit me in the head and you saw me die before your eyes, didn't you?

Moloch laughed as she put both hands in front of her, the blade gone as well as her wound. All of Nara's senses alerted her to the danger of this woman, but her name alone was enough to scare her. Her foul aura wrapped around her and she shivered with a coldness that came from nowhere but her eyes. Moloch took another step closer.

- Do you want to know how I didn't die? Let me explain, Kemono~!

Moloch spread both arms and above her shone a neon blue crown, turning gently and illuminating the sky with its beauty. The clouds above them suddenly disappeared and rays from distant stars began to shine only on her. Moloch started to laugh.

- Shouldn't you first ask yourself how I, a human who has existed for hundreds of years, for millennia, is still alive?

- M-Millennials?!

Sara stammered and Nara felt her whole body tremble. Ra quickly turned her gaze to her claymore and opened her eyes wide before turning her attention back to Moloch. Trees began to grow behind her, rainbow leaves sprouted and fell, forming the 4 seasons in a matter of seconds, while birds flew out of her back and angelic sounds rang out from the void, the stars were aimed only at Moloch and her hair began to grow at once. Now reaching the ground, their whiteness became purer and purer, but Ra could not see this purity; no one could. Moloch opened both eyes at once, the eyes shining with different colors, changing as they collided.

- I just used my own Power over myself. I made sure I forgot how to get older! Forget how to die!!! Forget how to live!!!!!

Moloch laughed and the trees burst into flames, the birds lost their flesh and their skeletons fell to the ground, while the starlight was hidden by rain clouds. The drops of water fell from the clouds, but became snow that touched the ground, creating an impossible combustion that burned the grass around Moloch. A circle was created and the woman with the long white hair was at the center of it. She bowed to the two women and her hair suddenly changed color: now it was red and black. Moloch put one hand on her chest, her body still bowed, one knee on the ground.

- My name is Moloch Canaan. I am the enemy of life itself.

A presentation that made every cell in the body of the two Kemono tremble. Ra herself felt sick and took a step back, but a blade grazed her cheek and went into the ground behind her. Moloch stood up and played with the other blade she had in her blade, smiling.

- Don't go away, my little unforgettable rose.

Moloch held out his hand, where roses began to bloom, and threw them towards the two Kemonos.

- Offer me this sacrifice and your life will be spared. I have no interest in killing you, for you are not in my way.

Sara put a hand on Ra's shoulder and Ra turned her gaze to the woman. She slowly lowered her head.

- D-Do you promise?" asked Sara.

- Mom!

Nara yelled at her mother, but her mother turned her gaze towards her with annoyance.

- It is either our family including Ra who will die, or her alone!!!

- B-But—

- No buts.

Ra pushed both of them and sighed heavily. She smiled as she looked at Nara and nodded.

- I've caused you enough trouble.

- I... I...

Nara clenched both fists and conjured a blade in her hand.

- I don't care if you are a friend, an acquaintance or a family member.

That same sword began to burn a crimson color, but Ra took a step forward forcing Nara to back away.

- Ra!!!

- Eh. Moloch.

Ignoring the Kemono behind her, Ra spoke to her enemy. The latter nodded.

- Ready to finally die?

- Before that, you want to know how I survived your arrow?

Ra smiled, which annoyed Moloch, but she did not show it. She nodded again before she conjured up a second blade in her hand that had been free until now.

- Tell me everything," said Moloch.

Ra gently raised his hand, the latter open.

- I simply protected myself with my claymore. So simple it's laughable.

Ra frowned.

- The same claymore that will finish you off!!!

- RAAAA!!!

A male voice sounded behind them and Moloch charged at Ra without delay, understanding what was happening. However, the claymore that was flying in the air landed in Ra's hand and blocked the attack of Moloch's sword. The meeting of the two weapons created a shockwave so powerful that both fighters were thrown away from each other. Nara and Sara both flew through the air as well, but they were caught before they landed on the ground.

- Is she Moloch?

The same male voice that created Ra's name speaks and Nara turns to him. This Kemono—

- Nero!

Nara's brother. Right next to him—

- Can she be beaaaaaten?

Nora, Nara's little sister. And the one who caught up with Sara—

- I don't know if it's wise to stay here…

Amir, the Kitana's father. Sara and Nara were deposited on the ground. The mother waved her ice blade and smiles.

- I'm glad you understood what I meant, Nero," she said.

When she noticed her son and daughter approaching, she pointed to the claymore behind them. Since Moloch was distracted by her own presentation, they were able to reach out and grab Ra's weapon. Nero cracked her wrists and turned her gaze to Ra.

- Your weapon is heavy, anyway! he shouted.

Ra smiled and her claymore began to glow an oceanic blue. She giggled.

- And again, it's because I can control its weight even from a distance. Otherwise, I swear that only I can carry it, she replied.

The flaming sword of Nara.

Sara's ice sword.

The shining claymore of Ra.

For now, only the three of them have their Powers that Be visible. Nora clapped her hands and Amir took a step back.

- Y-You really want to fight Moloch...?" he asked, unconvinced of this plan.

His wife smiled in turn.

- Honestly, no.

- So why—

- She said she was immortal, not that she was incapable of being immobilized," Nara replied.

- Are you crazy?!

Moloch approached the Kitana family and Ra with blades that burned with black smoke. The only human among them all clutched her claymore and smiled broadly.

- I advise you to go home and leave it alone. I can—

- Don't count on it.

Ra turned to Nero. The latter put his hands together and frowned.

- I don't know what relationship you have with her, Ra, but...

And there, a gigantic stone structure was created behind him, in a shape similar to Nero's silhouette.

- We too have a score to settle with this bitch.
