Shadow clenches his fist as he yells
"AND BEAT YOU!"
Sereph stays silent for a while until he smiles as he gets into his fighting stance and says
A memory flashes through his mind of to kids in a field making a pinky promise
Returning to the present
Sereph expression becomes resolute
"Very well Shadow Coqetsu...LET'S BOTH FIGHT WITHOUT RESTRAINT"
Shadow smiles as he says resolutely
"I wanted it that way anyways"
Sereph chuckles lightly
"But i must warn you i will intend on killing you so don't let your guard down not even once"
"Alright then"
Shadow and Sereph unleash there auras but no longer out of animosity but out true passion for a good fight
The two plant there feet to the ground and in the next moment accelerated towards one another and as there fist clash everything goes black as it shift Jaress being pushed back by Doshi's fist
Jaress Leaps back
She smiles as she taunts
"Is that all you got prodigy"
Doshi with a slightly darkened expression simply stands in one spot staring at Jaress until she let out a dissapointed sigh as she says coldy
"Now I see...your stalling waiting for your captain to help you"
Jaress plants her scythe to the ground as she leans on it and says flatly
"Well yeah because you're such a powerful opponent i just can't beat you-"
"Quit lying to yourself,you just want an excuse to spend time with him isn't it?"
Jaress expression twist in surprise and reluctants as she rethwarts
"Huuuuh what are you saying your not making any-"
"I really am it's just that you don't want to admit to yourself and it's perhaps because that-"
Doshi effortlessly side steps dodging Jaress's slash attack as she says
"If you really want to spend with your man,come and kill me first"
Jaress silently groans in annoyance as she lifts her scythe up and murmures
"Fine I'll just have to deal with you quickly"
Jaress suddenly vanishes as she appears in front of Doshi and slashes at her torso but Doshi jumps up and spun as she extends her leg to kick Jaress in the face but Jaress narrowly dodges with a duck
Doshi sends a a heel kick hitting Jaress flatly on the head slamming her to the ground as Doshi lands and says
"Scythe are used for long range i highly doubt it'll help you in close combat"
Jaress immediately got up as she jumps back then says
"Fine then I'll just-"
Suddenly the two felt a sudden surge in energy as there vision slightly blurred then the two thought
"What the hell that energy it felt like it came from Shadow"
Doshi thought
"What the hell that energy felt with from where Sereph is fighting"
Jaress thought
But then seconds later the feeling of oppression vanished completely
As the two regained focus they thought
"I need to end this fight fast"
"I need to end this fight fast"
Jaress then sent multiple slash attacks that opened red rifts but Doshi dodged each attack as she thought
'It seems she's starting to take this abit more seriously...but what worries me is that she's tearing into the first dimension layer so easily'
After Jaress's onslaught of attacks Doshi jumps into the air and opens her hand
She sends a massive pink flaming ball but Jaress with a more serious expression sends another slash attack that cut the pink flame ball in half causing it to prematurely explode but in the next second Doshi's fist was in her face as Jaress thought before being hit
'She hid herself in the explosion'
The next moment Jaress was sent flying before planting her scythe into the ground breaking the momentum but Doshi didn't stop as she appears in front of Jaress and kicks her in the abdomen
Jaress spun her body as she counters with her own kicks
Doshi's blocks the counter with her left hand She and Jaress get into a fierce fighting exchange appearing around the battlefield in feint after images
The ground became schourched and broke into pieces
Jaress ducks a kick to the head
She counters with a heel kick to the abdomen but Doshi bends backwards narrowly dodging the attack as she handstands back up
The two then continuesly kept dodging and countering each other to no avail amd eventually the clash broke as they jumped back
Jaress thinks
"This is going no where we're practically equals...and not to mention I'm still worried about that overwhelming presence that came around Sereph's area"
Doshi thinks
'I don't know if Shadow will last long enough before he dies but I shouldn't worry about him he'll be fine'
The two took a deep breathe before staring into the others eyes
Doshi thinks
'Time to end this'
Doshi was then enveloped in pink flames as she begins walking towards Jaress
Jaress thought
"Guessing she no more playing around then...good thing i made a counter strategy"
Jaress was then enveloped in violent violet energy as her body tenses
The next moment they vanished and the next moment
BANG
Debri flying everywhere as Jaress and Doshi's fist clash but Doshi notices something immediately as she leaps back and says
"It seems that technique of yours cancels my pink flames...but...it you need to actively maintain it so you don't get burned,hmp impressive technique but let's see how long it lasts"
Doshi's eyes glow pink as they two women went back to clashing at equal footing and after a while when everything began turning dark as they went into a focused state but suddenly Jaress lost concentration as she's flatly hit in the face by Doshi sending her flying back into a mountain
Jaress then touches her cheek as she feels it heat up but for some reason it was comforting until Doshi extended her arm as she clenches her fist,the crow symbol on Jaress hand suddenly melts off
The next second Jaress was engulfed in purple energy as she cries out
Jaress thinks
"What did she do...did she break my seal?"
Streams of tears flow from Jaress as she thought
"All my pent up emotions are rushing into me all at once...it hurts...it hurts...alot"
Doshi then released her hand as the purple energy around Jaress became a vibrant pink Her tears stopped and she let out a relieved smile while clutching her chest on her knees
Doshi thought
"Poor thing,all that pent up emotions must've restricted her true potential...well atleast it'll be a fair fight now"
Doshi walks up to Jaress as she extends her hands towards Jaress
Jaress paused as she looks at The hand before smiling and gratefully taking it
Doshi says warmly
"Do you feel better now"
Jaress simply nods
"Way better...I...feel free again"
"Good because I want you to be at your best when I defeat you"
"Hmp who says your going to beat me?"
The two jump back as they unleash there auras once more
The two say at the same time with a smile
"Ready...go"
"Ready...go"
They then accelerate as they clash once more
