These were mere Soul-Core fucks in her way of getting what she deserved all this time. .:. ... .:. What did she deserve? Who was this that she was talking to? Why did her head feel like it was splitting in half? "..." Satono's aura fluctuated, lightning shooting out of its seams, hitting everything in its path and blowing it all up. What was that sensation that she just experienced? It's as if she got hit by something. A punch, a kick to the head, perhaps. But Brennon is still there, on his feet and barely holding his weapon together. .:. AGH... IT HURTS! WHO IS HURTING ME!? .:. The voices inside her head started mixing in together, muffled in pain and confusion. Satono didn't know who or what it was, but whatever it was... It was a threat to her. An enemy that had to be eliminated. Someone who would oppose her. And she'll gladly make them beg for mercy for as long as it takes to make them remember the- “N-” Satono felt a strong urge to gouge her intestines out, as vomit erupted from her stomach, falling onto the floor. Then, a sharp pain followed that spread from bowel to knee. Brennon has vanish-stepped away from the lightning to deal a kick to her stomach as Satono was busy fighting her demons. "AGHUK-" Satono hit a tree, completely breaking it from its root, a sinkhole forming beneath it. Her eyes watered and the sudden impact on her lower intestine made it feel like a hole was punched through it. "It... hurts... Why... why does it hurt!? WHY!? THIS POWER SHOULD BE GODLY! WHY IS IT DOING THIS TO ME!?" Another painful pulse shot through her brain, her ears ringing with such intensity she couldn't hear the rustling of the trees or the faint humming of the electricity. Brennon came to realize that this beast isn't as strong as she said. All that power and yet her brain can't keep up with the rest of the body. Maybe this power has a different drawback than he expected. It makes her powerful, but it slowly breaks her from within, driving her mad with power as well as with pain. She's becoming a mindless beast. One that doesn't care for anything but kill. That kind of opponent is dangerous. Satono got up, watching a vicious Losin come charging right at her with her Surabre. Losin didn't spare any more second thoughts. This creature needed to be killed, and she was ready to make that happen, as long as her life permitted. "AWAY WITH YOU!" A lightning bolt shot toward her with a screeching sound. She dodged it elegantly, meeting her just inches apart of her before she swung her sabre down vertically. However, her sabre shattered by just a single punch. "WEAK! WEAK WEAK!" "W-wha- AHG-" Losin flew back towards Brennon, the shockwave of Satono's wave of her hand knocking her onto him. Her shattered sabre disappeared as the pieces disintegrated. Brennon jumped up, catching Losin like a knight in shining armour. Losin opened her eyes, realizing what had just transpired. That she had been reduced to nothing in a matter of a split second. Brennon has held his own against her, albeit barely. But she was... .:. ... .:. Losin looked at Brennon from a distressed damsel's point of view. "... She just shattered my weapon like it was papier-mâché! Can we even beat her!?" Brennon put her down, glaring through Satono. He can't even tell what is happening to her anymore. He can barely see her through the lightning. The Soul-Aura concealed her features to the point she was just an unidentifiable humanoid. "..." Brennon wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth, smirking. "Every enemy has a weakness... and we have found it. Take a look—that form is draining her by the second. The constant screams of agony and the way her energy flickers. She is losing stamina and sanity at an alarming rate. Besides, you saw her clawing at herself, didn't you?" "...?" "This battle will end in two ways, Losin. Us exhausting her—or striking her down before she can react. Resummon your sabre and have faith in your abilities. We shall end her reign of terror." "...Righ
