Sparrow took a step forward, swinging his arm down like a whip, just for Oriano to try and cut it off, but demon detached it before the man's blade could touch his skin.
Sparrow would then regenerate his arm back, and with that same arm, he would grab the one he had just detached and decided to slam it against Oriano's right shoulder, bringing the man down to his knees, just to kick him right in the chest, sending him flying back a few feet.
Sparrow chased after Oriano's flying body, sliding through the water like it was ice; by the time Sparrow was in front of him, Oriano had regained his composure, proceeding to slide to the side, stabbing Sparrow right in his ribs with his left blade to then punch him on his jaw, dropping him down to the ground.
Once Sparrow was on the ground, Oriano would take out three syringes from the waist of his armor, stabbing it right into Sparrow's chest
" Three more just to be sure "
He whispered to then take out three more syringes, stabbing them on the same place, taking a deep breath to then jump backwards; dodging an upcoming kick from Sparrow who quickly stood up, leaping backwards whilst tugging at his chest, feeling a bit itchy
" What did you do? "
Sparrow questioned as the man just smiled in response to the demon's question
" Normally I'd have to inject a person with just one of those, but considering what your body is capable of I decided to force six units into you "
Oriano explained as Sparrow just raised an eyebrow, scratching his chest a bit
" That doesn't answer my question, what did you do!?!? "
He yelled, as he would then tighten his muscles; his veins swelling themselves up in response to his anger
" Well to put it simply, I injected you with a virus, a virus that eats away at your inmune system, destroying the very thing that keeps a being healthy—oh and that also includes anything that is remotely related to your immune system, like white blood cells and red blood cells—they will be poisoned, which in turn will poison all the organs in your body; in short, you will die "
Oriano said, smiling a little as Sparrow just tilted his head, before dropping down to a knee, blood dripping from his nose and the sides of his eyes
" I didn't want to use this poison, considering that it eats away at everything that keeps you alive, but I wasn't sure if my blades would do you in, so I had no other choice—which to be honest, it's a bit unfortunate, since I wanted to do extended researched on your body, but I guess it's just how the saying goes, you can't have everything in life "
Oriano continued to talk as Sparrow's insides started to decay and break apart; his brain cells were rotting and so was his inmune system just like Oriano had mentioned.
His organs were slowly breaking apart and so were all his neurons; every channel and link that could help a body function was just, dying.
" He's dying "
A voice deep in hell said, as a smile creeped over a dark room
" That's good, he'll become stronger because of it "
The voice said, as Lucifer's figure became visible due to the lighting of a flame.
" Now that I've dealt with you, I should go ahead and take care of the other nuisances "
Oriano said as he turned to look over at Maestro and Violi who immediately took a fighting stance; but before Oriano could do anything, a demonic laugh was heard and Sparrow slowly started to get up.
" Poison "
Sparrow said as he laughed manically, spreading all four of his arms out, as his muscles grew a bit
" Poison!?!?!?!?!? "
He screamed; his yell causing the water below him to ripple and shake in response to the sheer volume of his voice
" Did you think a battle like this, would end over something as dumb and pathetic as poison!?'! "
Sparrow yelled, as Oriano just dashed forward
" I have to quickly— "
Oriano couldn't finish his thought as Sparrow had already found himself beside the man, grinning at him like a psychopath would.
Oriano would then spit out a great amount of his blood, as two of Sparrow's arms pierced through his body, destroying all the armor, muscles and bones that were in their, getting rid of some organs and even Oriano's spine, crippling the man with just one attack.
" I knew I wouldn't be able to keep up with your armor, my regeneration was eating away at my stamina, and as you most likely know, something can't come from nothing, and nothing is infinite; so I had to think quick "
Sparrow said, as he would then pull his arms away from the man's abdomen, which lead to him falling down on his knees and pressing his face against Sparrow's leg in an attempt to keep himself up.
" I allowed myself to be stabbed by those needles, and I also allowed the poison to spread well enough for my acting to be believable; allowing myself a good opening "
Sparrow explained as Oriano would the grab onto Sparrow's thighs, using most of his strength to look up at him
" But then how did you come back from all that damage?.. "
Oriano questioned, his voice sounding weak just like the state of being that he was in
" Well, it was simple; with the bit of the working thinking brain parts that I had, I was able to think of a much stronger and much better inmune system; an inmune system that easily fought off your poison and allowing my healing factor to kick in and repair all the damage; as the weak would say, we work better together "
Sparrow said, letting out a devilish chuckle as Oriano would just fall against the floor, his blood tainting the water underneath; coloring it red.
He slowly began to close his eyes as death began to grip away at his soul, slowly dragging him down to the place which was hell
" No no, you can't die yet "
Sparrow said as he would then cut his wrist, allowing blood to fall from it and into Oriano's mouth, tainting his lips and teeth
" Just like you needed my body, I need yours "
Sparrow said before healing his injury, smiling a little before dropping down on his ass, letting out a loud sigh of relief
" I almost died "
He whispered as he saw Violi and Maestro close in, walking toward him with calm expressions, and their mouths dirty with the juices of the fruits they had eaten
