Dani VS Illya (2)

Illya isn't human. She's not an Arkian either. She's something else.

Her use of strands set her above me, sure, but I had something as well.

The DNA of Two Deities. Ali Asterio and Providence Achamo.

The powers I have are... limitless now.

And, I still have that Corruption I can fall into. This fight will end in my victory.

I jumped away from her strands and before my feet even touched the ground, Illya came in, ditching her saber, and swinging at me with her claws on her left hand.

I dodged her swipe, used my gravity ability to snap her arm, and then punched her in the face.

Her jaw shifted to the right at a high speed, but she turned her body while in midair, and kicked me in the side of the head.

Her retaliation took me off guard, and I was sent bouncing off of the floor while refocusing on her position... or should I say, her old position.

She was gone?!

My Eye of Providence followed the outburst of Golden Strands across the field, and I looked up to see Illya, with my sword, coming down on me.

How did she get that?!

She swung down and cut my shirt open right by my shoulder, and then, right through my skin.

When she landed on the ground, her onslaught of insane strikes and weird facial expressions was starting to scare me. Illya literally looked like a demon, part for part of her body now.

She opened her mouth up, as if she was going to bite in my body, and I sent a gravity wave into her throat that split her head.

She absorbed the strike and through a weird movement with her hands, sent it right for my knees.

As they broke and I fell to the ground, she sent her knee into the bottom of my jaw and completely knocked me out for a second.

While I was midair from the strike and unconscious, Illya jumped above me, rose her foot high enough to touch the sky, and slammed her heel into the bottom of my sternum. I coughed up blood and was sent into the ground, where she stood above me, dripping sweat and blood, and smiling with fangs now coming from her mouth.

It was a miracle I was still alive... Illya was moving so fast that I couldn't even use my ability on her. But, because she took too long while standing above me, I already primed it.

I launched Illya into the air, and then slammed her into the ground again, pushing her as hard as I could into the broken shards of glass piercing her body. She groaned in pain and started foaming from the mouth, trying to push herself to me.

"She's not even human anymore..." I mumbled.

I watched Illya push herself through the gravitational manipulation, then look toward the dome.

She ran over with her saber in hand and cut into the dome. Not only did it split halfway, but it also burned her body.

Illya pushed her way out of the dome as it burnt her body to a charcoal, black color, and I finally realized what she was doing.

She was going to try to kill my friends.

I instantly ran toward the edge of the dome to push myself through the hole that she made, but once I got there... she closed it with her strands.

"You'll starve in there. Don't mind me, I have some kills to rack up." She said, holding her finger to her mouth and winking at me.

And so, it began.

I immediately put my hands on the dome and started pulling as hard as I could as Illya ran over to Eo, completely flipped her on her side, and swung her saber through Xavier's head.

My fingernails extended as I put them through the dome and I started to clench my teeth as tight as I could, pushing all of my energy into my hands to rip the dome open.

COME ON! BREAK! DAMMIT!

I pushed harder, only to see Illya jump over to Lia, and cut off her left hand, then kick her in the side of the head.

She didn't stop, traveling over to Jeff and Griff.

Griff lost the bottom half of his body, and Illya slashed Jeff's jaw off like it was nothing.

My heart beat was getting louder.

Dammit... DANI! DO SOMETHING! YOU USELESS BITCH!

[Are You Sure You Want To Engage Corruption Mode?]

YES! ENGAGE! GIVE ME POWER!!!

My eyes turned red and I felt my vision slowly tighten, only focusing on Illya. My eyes wouldn't leave her position as she finally stopped, and turned back to me.

"You're serious now, aren't you? About time." Illya muttered.

She swung her saber one more time, cutting of Faith's legs, and splitting Amera in half, right by her heart.

And my ability started to go crazy.

The gravity behind Illya shifted and she was launched into the dome at a high speed, putting a dent in it, as I finally pulled it apart.

I grabbed the top of her jaw, sticking my fingers through the roof of her mouth and her face, and threw her back in. She slid on the ground, summoned two golden sabers, and smiled.

I felt the compassion in my body finally leave. That annoying guilt I would have for tearing Illya limb for limb was finally missing, and I could complete my objective, as I should've done much earlier.

I'll leave healing those who were injured to Eo and the others. This was my time.

I'm sick of saying it. But this is the end, this is where Illya dies. And I'm serious this time, as I'm fully corrupting myself now.

[GODDESS OF WRATH AWAKENING: 58%...]

The Eye of Providence lit up and everything started to speed up. I was able to predict the pathing of strands now, and just as I saw it, I rose my left hand up, perfectly blocking Illya's kick. I grabbed her ankle, slammed her into the ground with the enhanced gravity push from my ability, and cracked the glass underneath us.

She bounced, and I swung Sky's Blade up, cutting her in half. Our gazes met as she was cut in half and fell to the floor, and the itch in my brain returned.
