[Battle Initiated. Yasuline & The White Reaper Vs. Apophis & King Suko.]

[WARNING: High-Level enemies detected.]

[First Round. The White Reaper's Turn.]

The White Reaper would be the first to make his move. Dashing to Apophis, their two weapons clank against each other and using some force to push themselves further away from Yasuline and the King. Once at a great distance, he would pull back and holds the sword out firmly as it gives off a faint glow. The glow remains as he then turns his body a bit and swings the sword with a mightly force. Apophis reacted quickly and holds his staff up to block the attack, most of the force into the attack rippled through his staff and vibrated in his arms. He grits his teeth as his hands go numb from it all, but didn't take much damage from it.

"Good try, White Reaper. But it'll take more than a strong sword swing to bring me down. You're looking at one of the Gang's best sorcerers! Allow me to demonstrate!"

[Apophis' Turn.]

Apophis confidently holds his staff out. Letting the head end of it twirl in a circle of sorts while a glow on it began to appear and grow stronger. But a dark presence surrounded the glow as well.

"Behold the power of a true sorcerer! arrows of darkness, fly straight and without rivals to pierce the enemies swiftly to devour their hearts!"

At the end of his wording, the dark presence manifests itself in front of the face of the skull and shoots out like an arrow straight at the White Reaper.

Before it was shot out. The White Reaper would crouch down and brush his hand over the side of his boots. One blink later, and he was gone from Yasuline's sights.

the arrows pass the spot where he was and others also fire out of Apophis' staff but aimed at different locations. Colliding either on the wall or floor, the floor would crack hard and small bits of the environment would fly out from the impact. After scanning the entire room. She finally spotted him at a fair distance. A greenish glow fave him away to her inexperienced eyes.

"Speedy little thing. I'll make you my target practice. Meanwhile, I believe a little father/daughter time would occupy you."

[King Suko's Turn. Current Condition: Controlled.]

On cue, her father would omit an inhuman groan. His body begins animating and then begins to move forward to Yasuline.

He starts to swing rather unfocused like as if he couldn't exactly see where she was. Still, Yasuline could tell that his attack was powerful, especially by the low sound of the wind being cut. She takes a few steps back, hesitant on what to do. Whenever she tries to turn away from him, he would simply shift his direction to her. Running away did nothing as she didn't check her surroundings and end up cornering herself. The low whirls continued and She starts to rethink her days when she listened or watched the training sessions Caliber would teach for the recruits. One of the lessons that popped up was about how you should always watch your opponent's movements.

She closes her eyes and opens them again, locking her sight at his blade swings. Back and forth, back and forth. It was almost in a rhythm. She would tap her finger against the handle of her blade with it. Then, instinctively, she imagines how much time it'll take till the blade swings on one side.

Taking the next step, she pushes her sword just at the key moment when her father. She pushes back against his strength to stop him from attack. The sudden block didn't sting her hands like they did whenever she would strike against a shield. But the force behind his sword was vastly superior. Taking Yasuline all her strength in both arms just to stop him.

[King Suko Uses Slash Attack. Attack Blocked. Weapon proficiency increased for Yasuline. Turn Ends.]

She could feel her footing slipping until it hits the edge of the floor that connects to the wall. Her father would be pushing his weight against her. While he may have gotten some weight over the years of his retirement, he still was in his prime. Yasuline persisted to stop him.

[Yasuline's Turn. Skips Turn. Turn Ends. First Round Over.]

While still on the move, the White Reaper would dart his eyes over to where Yasuline was, as he attempts to run to her aid, Apophis steps into his vision. Looking eager for him to drift his attention off of him to sneak an attack on him while he was distracted.

[Second Round Begins. The White Reaper's Turn.]

As he runs toward Yasuline, Apophis would smirk, already planning what kind of skill he would use on his opponent. Then, precisely at the moment where he crosses him, at the hell of his step, he would turn his direction at him. His sword pointed straight forward and horizontal with a glow, he does one last step before the sword guides him straight across the gap between and then some. Apophis barely had a fraction of a second to respond to his change and holds his staff up as fast as he could to deflect any attack he uses on him. The White Reaper would find him just behind Apophis. Even giving off a dramatic twirl of his sword as he could sense Apophis now reacting to the blow on his body.

[White Reaper Uses Sword Skill: Sonic Blade. Block Broken. Critical Hit. Turn Ends.]

He could feel his mouth filling up with blood. Instead of spilling it out, he simply swallows it all. The aftertaste of iron was annoying, but that was just what he needed to fuel his annoyance and make his mindset think how he wants it to.

[Apophis' Turn.]

He could feel the wound that the attack has left him. But it'll take more than a hole through his body to stop him. Not when he was so close to claiming one of the more powerful forces in Atlas in the name of the demones. Focusing on his staff, the energy around it starts to build up. Concentrating on it rather than the pain, he activates one of his spell skills and points it to the center of the room.

"I'll get even with you for this. But first, I should do something about your speed."

A tiny orb would appear at the top of the skull ornament and then hovers right at the center. It quickly expands and begins to suck in the air all around it, the force of the suction increased more and more as it was enduring. The White Reaper could it beginning to pull him toward it. He tries to withstand it by piercing the ground with his sword to pin himself, but eventually, it was too strong and he flies right to it. Like a strong grip, it would keep him in the air, vulnerable and defenseless.

"that's much better. Now I promise to make this one hurt, just for you." Apophis would say with a sadistic smirk as he waves his staff once again, this time, giving off a red glow. With a final twirl at him, fire spews out of the mouth of the skill and spirals right toward the White Reaper.

As it shot at him, the blots in his pans would begin to animate much more quickly than normal until the glow from them overcame the lighting from the blue flames and as he thrusts his upper body forward, he would have enough momentum to move himself to the ground, once his feet were planted, he would disappear from the spot near the black hole. The helix hellfire would collide with the black hole and form a spiral of flame that soon turns into a micro fire tornado before dispersing, leave the ground in that spot scorched.

"Blasted monster." Apophis would curse.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, King Suko would continue to push his daughter against the wall. the blade nearing her neck as she was losing strength and feel of her arms. She could feel the sweat on her body making it hard for her to keep her grip on her sword as she constantly has to adjust it now and then as it slips from how wet it was. Her eyes were fixated into looking at his dead eyes. No sense of realization or recognition from the one she looks up to. The light of the fire tornado finally breaks her gaze and she looks over to how her partner was doing. Before she would return to stare at her opponent, she would notice the rather large gap under his sword. She takes a deep breath as she focuses on pushing all of her remaining strength to try to push his sword back to then lower her head under it and rolls out of the way.

The King's blade would slam against the wall and he slowly turns to face Yasuline who was slowly picking herself off the ground. Her arms shaking from all the drained strength from just pushing him back.

"Once all this is over, I am so going to force Caliber to put me in the training class."

[King Suko's Turn. Current Condition: Controlled]

"Useless Puppet. Can't even handle a simple girl. Use one of your skills!" Apophis would yell out, his composure noticeably disappearing and in its place was a raging magic-caster. Constantly firing some projectile whenever he spots the White Reaper in his sights. The White Reaper would simply dodge it.

With the command from the puppet master, king Suko would begin to hold his decorative sword up into the air. A radiant and beautiful glow begins to envelop the blade. Yasuline instantly recognized what he was doing and tried to run as far away as she could from him. It was a powerful skill that could take down hordes upon hordes of enemies in the way of the king.

The glow continued to glow and soon, many other lines of the same glow would fill the air around them. Within the glow was silhouettes of his sword. Before, the moment she saw them, she treasured that time. As she saw just how powerful her father was. And exactly how he could protect everyone. Now, she felt nearly hopeless. She desperately hoped that they would all miss, even knowing that it was impossible.

The silhouetted blades would slowly shift and point right at her. No matter how much she turned left or right, they would still keep their points on her. Running at the other end of the wall, she turns in time to see them begin to shoot for her, She weakly holds her blade up to block instinctively.

She could hear some of the blades hit the wall around her. Few seconds pass by, but she didn't feel any pain, she didn't see what exactly happened as she was anxious in seeing them come right at her.

She slowly opens up and sees that the White Reaper was in front of her. The glowing blades, piercing his limbs as he blocked most of them from hitting his body.

[King Suko Uses Skill Series: Crowned Child, Assault Skill: Thousand Swords. White Reaper Shielded Yasuline from Damage. Turn Ends.]

"No!" She cried as he limps down on his knees.

[Yasuline's Turn.]

She quickly would reach into her pockets and begins pulling out all the healing potions that they stocked upon. She forced him to drink some, she poured some over the cuts where the blades, now dispersing into thin air, left on his arms.

"Come on, don't die on me now."

She stated as she held onto him. She could feel his strength coming back to him as he starts to sit up with his strength. Giving her a nod that he was okay.

"Hahaha! How very rare of me to overlook something. I was told of how you defended the princess from some of my men. But I didn't expect to see you risk your life for her. You are smitten by her charms, huh?" Apophis would taunt them as the White Reaper finishes recovering from the attack.

[Third Round Begins. The White Reaper's Turn]

The White Reaper holds his hand up the Yasuline who was still hesitant on seeing him suddenly move just after recovering from such an attack. His glare was directly at the sorcerer.

Everything happened too fast for Yasuline to process it as it happened within the few seconds that it did. But she was able to piece it together after seeing the staff that the Hellfire leader was using fell to the floor, cut in half, and Apophis holding onto his body, with a wide cut across his body.

Green bolts and lighting would circle the legs of the White Reaper who was standing a bit farther behind Apophis. His blade was dripping red, with a faint glow diminishing.

[White Reaper Uses Sword Skill: Power Slash. Opponent's Weapon Broke. Damage Received. Turn Ends.]

"ARRG!" He roared with such energy that Yasuline was impressed. As if the wounds that he endured were nothing to him.

"You pestering fool! How dare you break one of my prized possessions like it is a mere toy! For that, I shall show no mercy to you. I'll eat you alive!" As he bellowed his hatred, Yasuline and the White Reaper could feel the ground shaking.
