Seeing the slight change in their expression happening during the wave of attacks, a chill moves down Lumi's spine.
Φ Something is wrong here. Right now, we aren't using our full power, yet an assault from 3 of the 7 Miracles of Gevurah isn't something the average no-name combatant should be able to keep up. He is still standing here and surviving. He doesn't seem to have his hair dyed or has altered his eye colour in any way, so I doubt a Legacy is being hidden from us, and a Regalia couldn't turn the tides of battle away from us in a way that we wouldn't be able to counter.
His sword is clearly some kind of Cursed Weapon, and granted that he is a Sieg Bisumod as well as his level of skill, he must be wielding one of their 7 Hero Blades. Yet could a Cursed Weapon turn the tide of battle here?
This is our victory; there is nothing he can do to change this, so why am I feeling so uneasy about this? Why do I feel like my neck is loosening itself as it prepares to kill him, and more than that, why do I feel like his accuracy hasn't degraded even a bit since we started fighting him?
Φ Siegrund's Regalia, Unstoppable, allows him to alter and control his levels of fatigue, making it so that no matter how long or how many wounds he receives, his body will never degrade from its maximum functioning.
An ability thought to be useless by many of the other Sieg Bisumod, and a curse, yet for him it was a blessing, as it allowed him to relish in battle for as long as possible. The beast inside him that slumbers wishes to break free, and as it beats against his chest, a smile grows even clearer on his face, making Raro form his cloth into a giant beast's head, which he rams into Siegrund's stomach, launching him far away into one of the many corpses scattered about.
They all stop with Sora stretching his arm and saying, "If anything, he seems to be good at surviving. Let's hope that last blow loosened his muscles."
Lumi, staring into the dust annoyed, says, "I'm not; he landed one too many blows against me for me to let him live without ripping off a couple of fingernails."
Raro, placing his hand on her shoulder, gives her a smile and says, "We have a duty only to conduct battle gracefully. Clear dominance of our strength that leads to a straightforward death is the only way to bring joy to her sight. Besides, you don't want Captivant over there to spread the impression that you're a brute."
With a bored look plastered on his face as he rotates his right shoulder, Sora says, "Such a task is obviously too hard for a brute like her."
Slamming her face into his cheek, Lumi says, "Did you just call me a brute, you walking twig? When it comes to straightforward star-striking battle, no one is as amazing as I am."
"Oh, sorry, you don't understand subtext. I am saying you're too weak to beat your opponent without trickery or support, you dumb hag."
"HAG!"
Raro, grabbing both of their faces, pulls them apart and says, "I brought you both here so we can all get better at fighting together." Pulling their faces closer, he says, "And now we can all get that lucky brat Captivant to owe us a favour, now that's some benefit for the future."
Sora, moving his face away from them both, says, "Will the witch live long enough to even receive those benefits?"
"I AM GOING TO KILL YO-."
"Umm, hello."
All three of them turn their heads forward, and standing in front of them all, walking out of the dust and shaking his body, he says, "Are you guys okay over there? If we are going to start again, I don't want you all to be unprepared?"
Lumi stares at him with worry in her eyes, as Sora, with a slightly intrigued look, says, "It seems being durable isn't your only disability; your stupidity is at its max as well."
Confused, Siegrund says, "How is durability a bad thing?"
Sora rolls his eyes as Raro lets out a deep laugh before saying, "Hey, you're not some random no-name Sieg Bisumod, aren't you? Name yourself?"
"You happen to be correct, but I am sorry, I can't do that because it would cause too much trouble for the people I care about. So could you all please give me Captivant and forget about my presence here."
"No chance you bitch!" Lumi says.
"I see." He quickly takes a bow and then says, "I apologise, since from now on, I won't be able to fight holding back. Though to make it fair, I will kill you all from weakest to strongest."
Fear crosses Lumi's face as happiness moves onto Sora's, and Raro lets out another laugh before anger swarms his expression as he says, "Elegant deaths are for humans, you're a beast."
In that same instant, Bonfires appear all across the battlefield, and each of them sends ranged attacks into the Bonfires as they lunge towards Siegrund with anger in their eyes.
Holding his sword tightly, the calm and orderly expression across Siegrund's face disappears as a smile full of joy rages across his face. Seeing this from a distance, Captivant yells, "RUN AWAY!"
The ranged projectiles surge from all of the flames towards him, and in response, he says, "Drachenkämpfer Battle Art's, Ultimate Art: Dragon Slaying Twin Pressure."
From his sword, he releases two oscillating waves from his blade that smash against the ground, and soon a large earthquake starts in the area around him, breaking the ground and sending it in every direction, knocking away all the attacks and removing the footing from his attackers.
Lumi quickly takes to the skies and dashes towards him using her explosions to propel herself towards him, entering a class as she swings her fists and releases sparkles constantly as she says, "Who the hell did you think is the weakest amongst us?"
"I wonder? How's your chin?"
Gathering sparkles against the side of her fist, she explodes them all, propelling his fist right against Siegrund's chin, smashing and wacking him till he flies away, yet he quickly regains himself as the Inner Demon of Sora in the form of a swarm of swords, along with Raro's cloth, all rush towards him.
He swats them away, moving his sword so fast that it appears like it is one with the wind, yet in that mass of attack, several Bonfires appear, which carry both Sora and Lumi's sparkles through them.
The sparkles set off against Siegrund's right hand, overwhelming it with sensations, forcing him to tighten the muscles and keep it still. Using this opportunity, Sora weaves effortlessly through the swarm of attacks all around and brings his blade towards Siegrund's neck again and again, but a slight way over frustration moves across his body, as he says, "Being a nimble rat only extends the pain, what are you a masochist?"
"No, I am a swordman boy!"
He sends a flurry of spirit energy through every single inch of his right arm, regaining his sense of it, and loosens his grip on his sword before grabbing it with his other arm, and swings a diagonal slash towards Sora, who, with a cocky smile and the nimblest of motions, takes a step back as he sends his Inner Demon swords all towards Siegrund.
He stares at the tip of the blade, and looks directly into Siegrund's eyes in a state of super concentration as he lets out a yawn of boredom, but as his mouth opens Siegrund smiles and across all of Sora's face to the inner depths of his mouth a series of cuts gathers all around him send waves of pain all throughout his body as he releases his sword to press his hands against his face.
Siegrund smashes Sora's stomach with his fist as he says, "Never let go of your blade." Sora flies backwards with a Bonfire appearing in his line of flight, and turns his body Siegrund's face the swarm of cloth around his, which morphs, filling itself with spikes, blades and brutish tools that all move towards Siegrund before being cut down.
Two large sounds emanate throughout the battlefield, one from Lumi's explosion as she hurls herself right towards Siegrund as they both fight in the maze of cloth at a speed so quick and intense that the eyes of Captivant can see them no longer, as well as the screams of Sora yelling, "I'll KILL YOU!"
The Inner Demon forms into a giant, wielding two large blades that swing and crash into the ground, as Lumi and Siegrund battle all across its body with the cloth in the shape of a red beast chasing after them both.
Throughout the Inner Demon's giant body, spikes pop out to strike and break down Siegrund, as Lumi, who propels her body by concentrating massive amounts of sparkles at key points of her body, zooms around at nearly incomprehensible speeds to do combat with him.
They clash, and clash again, with Lumi struggling to keep track of the movements of the Inner Demon, which has abandoned any form of consideration for her presence. Yet despite this all, her fists don't fail as they constantly smash and push Siegrund back with the sheer force of her speed, and in the brief moment there is distance between them, the red beast of cloth appears from the Bonfire to strike at Siegrund.
The intensity of their battle sends shockwaves with each blow, but feeling her stamina wane, and the sanity of Sora vanish as his screams of death towards Sora only grow, she says, "Advent!"
And into a masked version of Advent, with her speed increasing tremendously to the point where she clears all the distance between her and Siegrund in mere seconds as the amount of sparkles she can make and condense grows exponentially.
She smacks Siegrund in his kidney, letting out a giant explosion that sends him flying at high speed, shattering the sound barrier two times over, before instantly propelling herself behind him, and smacking him in the sword that he has moved to his back upwards, as she prepares to strike him in the back again.
As his body flies, the Inner Demon reshapes itself into a giant hammer that crashes down towards Siegrund, and taking a deep breath, the Sieg Bismoud quickly and carefully turns his body so that Lumi can just miss him and crash into the hammer.
Yet a Bonfire appears in front of her, and teleporting her body to the front of Siegrund, where she smashes her fist into his blade, pushing him up against the hammer, which he presses his feet against.
Lumi constantly propels herself forward against his blade with Sora's hammer pushing against his feet as the boy yells, "DIE!"
But effortlessly, Siegrund moves his blade and slips past her body, kicking himself forward and leaving a giant slice against her chest, and then says, "Drachenkämpfer Battle Arts; Void," And create a air vacuum which absorbs all of the sparkles around her body stopping her motion as the hammer smacks against her sending her flying towards the ground as Bonfire appears and teleports her to safety.
Bonfires appear all around Siegrund, sending out a swarm of attacks which he swats away one by one as he falls to the ground. Yet as he lands, a Bonfire appears which sends him right back in the air, where the Inner Demon, shaped as a large series of flying swords, rushes towards him at high speed as he swats them all away.
Yet above him, multiple bondifres light themselves which release another flurry of sparkles and cloth, and from all directions multiple attacks surge towards him, so he holds his blade up against his head, and generates a massive amount of force against his feet, he kicks off the air towards Sora's swarm, and says, "Drakenkampfer Battle Arts; Smother!" Letting out a powerful overhead downwards slash that rips right through Sora's swarm and sends a powerful shockwave towards the ground that rumbles the entire area, blowing all the attacks around him far away.
