Sky and Ullr VS Dante (1)

-1:08 P.M.-

With the veil of red covering my eyes, I heard a slam into the ground right beside me. The searing pain subsided as the veil dissipated and Ullr began to talk.

"I don't know much about you, but I do know that this will be your last day on Earth. Sky, I'm with you, let's get revenge, for Domin." Ullr said, brandishing his hammer in front of Dante.

I nodded, gripping my sword tightly and preparing for battle, but Dante only smiled. His face showed off pity, which enraged me even more.

Dante unsheathed another sword from his hip instead of his back this time and his face immediately changed into a look of rage, just like I had. "Don't make me waste my energy here, just sit down and die!" Dante yelled out, charging into Ullr first. I couldn't react in time!

Ullr perfectly blocked both of Dante's strikes with his hammer, spinning it around with no effort. His muscles weren't for nothing, I could see! I charged in right behind him, swinging my sword at Dante's back.

Dante flipped his body around and kicked off of the top of Ullr's hammer and deflected my strike, landing a solid hit on my shoulder before falling to the ground with a perfect landing behind me. "You okay Bossman?!" Ullr asked me. I nodded and tightened my grip. I guess he wasn't at the top for nothing... but to experience his moves firsthand gave me motivation for mine.

"Let's work together, Ullr!" I yelled out. Ullr and I darted off in a wide circle going in opposite directions. Whenever I would come in to slash at Dante, Ullr came from the other side to slam his hammer into Dante.

I took advantage of how small I was compared to the two and dodged his strikes, aiming for his knees to bring him to the floor while Ullr contested against Dante in strength. Whenever Dante's blades would clash against Ullr's large handle leading to the giant hammer, I always kicked at Dante's legs. Dante eventually had enough and started to slash at me, causing me to play my attacks more carefully.

Dante wasn't even panting, but Ullr and I were already tired. Constant running and swinging that big hammer around was tiring for both of us, we had to get Dante to move somehow!

"Bossman... follow my lead. Right behind me!" I nodded and ran in right behind Ullr. Ullr didn't stop to clash with Dante once, he kept charging in, widely swinging his hammer around until Dante back-stepped. Right as Dante's feet lifted off of the ground, Ullr yelled at me once more. "GO BOSSMAN!" He said.

I ran up off of his bent-over back and after jumping off of his shoulders, Ullr charged in once more, grabbing Dante's wrist and slamming the hammer into his side. Dante's entire body tilted in conjunction with the hammer's strike and I placed a deep laceration across his chest, sending him bouncing across the ground. His recovery was even amazing as he landed perfectly on his feet after the strike.

"Is that the best you got?!" Dante asked us, flicking some blood off of his sword. It wasn't until I saw the blood on his sword that I realized he hit me in the back at some moment. How in the hell did he slash me back there?

The searing pain soon returned, but it was dull, I could handle it. I'm going to have to push myself here, aren't I? "Ullr... I'm going to Corrupt again, be careful of my moves. I'm sorry!" I told him.

"It's fine Bossman, I'll play off of your moves. Let's defeat this bastard." He told me.

I pasted the look of Domin's body into the back of my eyelids until looking at it enraged me to another level. The veil of red returned as I opened my eyes and the System began to speak once more.

[Remember]

The grip on my handle tightened even more, close to the breaking point and the searing pain become even hotter than it used to be. The strands running up my arm were bright enough to shine through my shirt, and the tunnel vision I had fixated on Dante perfectly.

With a burst of speed, I ran at Dante and clashed against his swords with that speed. He ended up deflecting it, but because I landed on the ground behind him strangely, I landed a strike on his back, almost completely identical to the one on his chest. After I landed that strike, I jumped up, rose both of my feet into the air, and planted the soles of my feet into his upper back. Dante was viciously thrown to the floor, and the man I was fighting with had slammed his hammer into his chest. I could see blood spurt out of Dante's chest as he dodged backward to create distance.

Dante panted heavily and spit up even more blood with a smile. "To have to Corrupt your System to damage me... you really don't deserve your name!"

I had to put a limit on myself... but seeing Dante's blood was teasing me. I wanted to see more of it. I wanted to see him choke on his blood. I wanted to see him suffer and scream in agony, that blood was pushing me past my limit at this point.

"Are you... drooling?" The man I fought with asked me. I ignored him and charged at Dante again. His sword scathed my face and I grabbed onto him as tight as possible, pulling on his cheek to move his entire body at my discretion. I threw his body after grabbing onto his cheek about two feet away from me.

I kicked him in the throat and threw him to the ground, planting my sword where his head was. The man I was fighting rolled out of the way enough times and eventually retaliated by cutting my right hand in half. I dropped my sword and that man kicked it away and smiled at me.

"Now that you don't have that blade, I wonder how many more times you'll pull on my cheek, you coward!" He yelled at me. I wiped the leftover drool at the corner of my lip and sucked the rest down my throat.

[RECALLING ARMAMENT]

My sword on the ground levitated off of the ground and back into my hand smoothly, ready to fight against the man standing in front of me.

Shit! I can't reach 220. This had to end as soon as possible!
