[color=bb0066] "Ooooh~ Well, I like a girl who's direct..." [/color] Came a reply from the white haired woman as her wings suddenly spread out from behind her. A single circle of obvious demonic origins began to write itself to life as Carmen began to slowly walk forward. [color=bb0066] "And a rather speedy one at that... Interesting..." [/color] She'd crouch before her wings flapped forward, sending a strong gust of dust and wind into the charging woman's direction. Afterward, a single fireball shot through the screen as the succubus began to run away from the other, a small smirk on her lips. [color=bb0066] "I do hope that dress won't be a bother to you. It's such a nice little number." [/color]

The winds that Carmen blew towards Timea didn't slow her down, rather bending around her. Seeing the small cloud of sand blown towards her, however, Timea inhaled quickly, then breathed out a funnel of strong winds herself, which blew the sand cloud Carmen send towards her right back. When the fireball was lobbed at her, Timea continued running, but doing so leaning forward, while also swiftly decreasing in size, allowing the fireball to whizz overhead.

When the fireball passed, Timea assumed an upright posture again, and returned to her normal height of 1.88m. "I'm warning you; this isn't a game." Timea said in response to Carmen's mild taunts, speaking in a matter-of-fact manner. Gaining on Carmen Timea would try to grab the "forearms" of Carmen's wings.

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen's eyebrow was quirked slightly as she observed, casually flapping her wings again to let the sand pass her by. The way Timea had avoided her attacks was interesting to say the least. The woman's hair continued to flow behind her as the other managed to get close. Then that same smirk crossed onto her face as she suddenly stopped short and brought a tight grip onto her dagger, bringing her wings just out of Timea's grasp.

[color=bb0066] "5th Circle: Anger...." [/color] The magic circle underneath her feet lit up as the blade of her dagger grew bright and red... and even extended. The inverted crosses of her pupils seemed to glow as she swung the blade diagonally downward toward the woman who was charging at her with the magic blade. It was about as long as a broadsword at this point. [color=bb0066] "It's not a game, of course... But it's so boring to be so serious, dear. You've got to learn to have fun with the more serious things~" [/color]

 

[Chungus]

As she was still running, Timea couldn't properly block Carmen's swing, and instead opted to evade it in much the same manner she had done the fireball. Stopping with running and bending through her knees, Timea went into a slide, during which she changed her height to the point it was about halved, letting the blade pass overhead in doing so. Coming to a stop from her side, Timea kicked up another cloud of sand, but this moved away from Carmen.

With a "tsk," Timea turned to face Carmen, and opened her mouth, but instead of words, Timea uttered a short, high-pitched screech, 100 decibels in volume. This was followed by by Timea making a step forward - during which her height changed back to normal - and thrust an open palm at Carmen's sternum, aiming to drive the wind from her.

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen smiled softly as she noted Timea sliding underneath the blade as it let off a soft hum. She found it out odd that the woman had slid twice. The cloud of dust was casually disregarded with a single flap of her wings and bringing it up to shield her eyes. After letting the wing down, that loud abhorrent screech rang through her ears. Carmen's eyes widened a bit as she staggered and by instinct moved her sword in a position to try and block an attack from the front.

Despite the shock and the ringing in her ears, the succubus still seemed to have that wry smile on her face as the palm was thrust forward. Still, she was too disoriented to do anything other than block. If Timea missed the sword, the silver haired woman would go flying. If not, well.... the sword was quite the sharp one. Regardless, another magic circle had formed underneath Carmen's feet, and the next ring seemed to be in its beginnings. [color=bb0066] "Dear me, how rude. You don't need to scream for what you want, dear." [/color] Seemingly, she didn't see a reason to keep from prodding at the girl's temperament.

 

[Chungus]

Not about to throw herself onto a sword, Timea would have twisted her body during the step forward, missing the sword point, but in doing so, lessened the force that went into her blow, as it struck from a less-then-optimal angle. After pushing Carmen back, Timea's first instinct was to lunge after Carmen, but she was too cautious of the unnatural blade to do so. Instead, a hole opened up on the palm of Timea's hand with which she had just struck Carmen.

From this hole, a pulsating grey beam was shot out with a buzzing noise with a low undertone, akin to a overdriven saw wave. Should this beam hit Carmen, it would sap her of some of her energy, making her feel weaker and more tired, which would worsen for every 0.5 seconds of exposure.

No response came to Carmen's taunt.

 

[Drakmorg]

Never mind again, realized this is just rude.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Oliver rolled underneath the pellets to avoid them. When he came out of the roll, Oliver pounced on Krieg, aiming his rock-covered hands at the Psycho's shoulders. Oliver scowled slightly when he realised the rock empowerment would prevent him from using his claws, though the lack of any other downsides made him wonder whether this was just an unintentional side-effect of something beneficial.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Maya waved her arm around, creating a small spark of energy as a melee attack, trying to breach through the crow barrier. If she was successful, she would roll out of the swarm and open fire on the birds, trying to cut them down with a wide spray of bullets.

Oliver would find trying to knock down Krieg to be a futile endeavour, the psychopath barely even noticing the extra weight and not reacting to the lava-induced pain. He reached up, one hand ringing Oliver's neck while the other grabbed another giant buzzaxe seeming out of nowhere, preparing to cleave his skull.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Oliver didn't react to the hand around his neck, as there was no blood- or air-flow for Krieg to restrict. Spotting the buzzaxe, Oliver raised a hand to grab Krieg's forearm. Using his superhuman strength, Oliver would attempt to crush Krieg's bones. Oliver then moved his other hand to the elbow of the arm gripping his throat, and attempted to push on it, so the joint overextended and snapped.

 

[Chungus]

Maya would manage to strike two shadow crows with her spark swipe, the two disappearing into nothing as struck. But as she remained stationary in the attack, the remaining five shadow crows landed their blows, four raking their talons across her upper body, leaving fairly deep scratches, and one pecking at her face, leaving a bruise.
After Maya rolled away, the shadow crows followed her movement, spreading themselves out more, two swarming behind her, two in front of her, and one flying at the side. The five moved in for another attack.

Phyros himself now reached Maya, pulling in his wings as he went into a dive. Opting to let the shadow crows attack Maya herself, Phyros instead made to attack her SMG.

Being a raven, Phyros had larger talons were longer then the shadow crows', and were abnormally sharp, enough so that they could slice through iron without much difficulty. In addition, with Laminus' empowered, if Phyros' attack struck, extreme cold would be applied, chilling the struck area down to −210 °C/−346 °F for five seconds, after which the temperature would return to normal temperatures.

With Phyros having bestowed an empowerment, Laminus lowered his flute and stood by, positioning himself in a place where he could watch all those fighting, lightly chuckling to himself at the sight of the chaos.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Oliver would find the joints and bines to be stronger than that of a normal man, meaning he couldn't break Krieg as easily. However, he did stopped the buzzaxe from embedding itself in his for head. The hand that was wrapped around his neck tightened immensely, Krieg trying to pop his head off like a cork.

Maya, noticing Phyros flying toward her, dodged the large crow. She focused on the nearest of the shadow crows, trapping it in a Phaselock bubble and opening fire. If it died, it would release red orbs that would fly into Maya and heal her.

 

[Chungus]

Being solid, the shadow crow couldn't escape the bubble forming around it, leaving it to be successfully drained by Maya, the shadow crow disappearing afterwards.

Although the shadow crows needed some time to readjust themselves after Maya evaded Phyros' swipe, her staying put in putting one of the shadow crows into phaselock gave them an opening, the four remaining crows getting another swipe in, lashing their talons across her upper body once more. After this, however, they all faded away.

Missing its mark, Phyros spread his wings again and climbing in altitude, while also beginning to bank around, unable to make a 180° turn. Turning his head towards Maya as he flew, and seeing his shadow crows had faded away, Phyros instead had a three metre long shadowy tendril extend from the shadow Maya cast. The tendril would lash out at Maya's leading hand, leaving a 5cm deep gash if it hit. Whether it did or not, the tendril would recede back into the shadows thereafter.

His eyes moving between Krieg fighting Oliver, and Phyros fighting Maya, Laminus continued to hang back, while contemplating what to do next, not eager to throw himself into the fray.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Oliver was still unaffected by the grip on his throat, though Krieg would find it harder than usual to squeeze the muscles. Seeing that Krieg was more resistant than most people, Oliver moved his head so that the tip of one of his fangs cut Krieg. A black liquid began slowly dripping out of the fang, which would slowly move through Krieg's body, eventually paralysing him.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Maya dodged the tentacle, then aimed at Phyron and fired, running back and forth and to dodge his attacks and try to get a better angle.

Krieg laughed as Oliver bit him, but it stopped when he felt a bit sluggish. Realising what was going on, he started slamming on Oliver's head with the buzz axe, trying to crush his skull.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Oliver put his other hand on Krieg's forearm, focusing on holding the axe back.

 

[Chungus]

Seeing Maya aim for him once more, Phyros opened his beak, and from it fired a narrow pulsating grey beam that rang out with a buzzing noise and low undertone. Sweeping the beam back and forth to hit as much of the bullets as he could. The bullets that the beam hit were sapped of kinetic energy, and fell to the ground. It, combined with Phyros' flying patterns meant he could evade the majority of the bullets, but not all. One struck him in the left shank, the bullet biting into it, while the other struck against his beak, which was too hardy for the bullet to penetrate, pinging off.

Losing a bit of altitude, Phyros flapped his wings to steady himself. Having turned around, Phyros went into a dive, heading straight towards Maya. If he managed to fly into her, it would be like being hit by a extreme velocity projectile.

Having a new idea, Laminus brought the flute to his lips again, and played a soft four note long melody, this covering Phyros' body with a golden shimmer.

By now, the earth empowerment on Oliver wore off, the stone slabs disappearing.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Krieg screamed, and something shifted. His left arm withered and hung uselessly, while the right, the one holding the buzzaxe, grew as if it was being inflated. The increase in size brought an increase in strength, and he pushed down more with the buzzaxe, determined to split Oliver's skull.

Maya held back her arm, her tattoos glowing purple as Phyros flew towards her. When he was too close to dodge, she thrust her hand forward, releasing a swirling ball of purple liquid, aiming at Phyros' face.

 

[Chungus]

The liquid ball would connect to Phyros' face, but as Maya hadn't moved, unless the ball suddenly stopped his momentum, Phyros would still dive into Maya, going straight through her due to his mass and currently streamlined shape.

Seeing the scene between Maya and Phyros, Laminus stroked his goatee, for the moment, standing by to see what would happen next. Like Oliver's earth empowerment before, Phyros' cold empowerment now faded away.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Now having his fingers free, Oliver dug his nails into Krieg's skin, and they grew larger. The paralysing venom began dripping out of Oliver's claws, speeding up the effect. Oliver responded to Krieg's scream with a loud roar. Krieg would be able to all of Oliver's sharp teeth, as the vampire's jaw had opened inhumanly wide.
Now that the arm holding his throat was useless, Oliver was able to lunge his head forward, his large fangs sinking into Krieg's chest. If Krieg were to look down, into Oliver's eyes, he would be met with an animalistic glare.
