The Almighty Kirigon (2)

"Inari, listen to me-"

"You don't belong here, girl." Moorza spoke. "And you have already begun to annoy me. Now die, little gnat."

The ground began to churn like a raging ocean around Inari, but she leapt high into the air where white flames engulfed her feet and she floated in the sky. She had six orbs floating around her.

"You ready Makane?" She asked. "Let's go! Seventh tail, Omniscience!"

A seventh orb appeared, larger than the ones before, and Inari closed her eyes as a white spot of light formed at the center of her mask. She could see everything and knew everything about Moorza now, as well as her surroundings. Though, for some reason it was limited to this small realm.

"Now!" Inari yelled, taking a deep breath. She had never gone this far before. "Eight tail, Omnipresence!" Another large orb formed and suddenly her image became blurry. Akuro felt as though he were drunken when he looked at her, seeing multiple images of her.

Then she vanished, instantly appearing behind Moorza, drawing her short sword and thrusting it at Moorza, who turned to block with his wing but in an instant Inari was gone again and appeared directly in front of him, the blade becoming copied with multiple versions of it flashing forward, a total of five blades, all plunging into Moorza's chest and in the next instant Inari flashed above him and a wave of white flames crashed into Moorza, engulfing him and throwing him off of his pillar and down, crashing to the ground.

Inari then stood in Moorza's place, looking down at the god in hate and rage.

"I must say, I did not expect that..." Moorza spoke, indifferently, as he stood, seemingly unaffected as he brushed himself off. "That Omnipresence may be annoying. The fact that you can be any and everywhere at once is a problem indeed."

"I'm not done." Inari said. A pale white light formed above her head as another orb formed, larger than all the others. "Ninth tail of Omnipotence. Now all nine tails have been activated. This, you damned god, is my Almighty Kirigon!"

"Almighty Kirigon, hm? Impressive. It gives you all three of the omnis. But that doesn't mean you will defeat me, girl."

Inari's eyes narrowed. She held her short award at her side, and as she did white light enveloped the blade until it began to hum, vibrating with energy. The Inari vanished.

Moorza, attempting to read her movements, spun and slashed his swords in a circular motion, a full three-sixty, but only managed to slash at an after image that quickly faded. Before he could make another move, Inari flashed into existence above him, landing in his shoulder and grabbing his chin while slicing open his throat and cutting cleanly through, pulling as she severed his head from his body and jumping back. Then she knelt low to the ground and grabbed Moorza's left wing, then pulled as hard as she could and threw him, tearing his wing slightly and sending him exploding through the air like a bullet.

Inari vanished and appeared ahead of Moorza in the direction his bleeding body was flying. She held up her sword as white flames began to glow from it, but then the earth shifted and massive walls of quartz rose on all sides of her, quickly enclosing her and then falling inwards, crushing and swallowing anything inside. But Inari had disappeared again, teleporting directly above Moorza, who's head had begun to heal. She spun in the air before her heel came down on Moorza's chest, crashing him into the earth causing the ground to shift in a rippling motion like the waves on the surface of still water after a rock falls below its surface.

"When did Inari become so strong?" Darius asked in awe.

"Honestly..." Akuro spoke as he watched her, almost in a trance. "I don't know." He felt a tang of guilt for never paying attention to Inari, for pushing her away, when in reality she was a valuable ally.

"Inari," came Makane's voice in her mind. "You need to hurry and find a way to kill him. We don't have much time left, Kirigon form can only last about five minutes with your level of control."

Inari clenched her jaw in frustration. She knew what Moorza's weakness was already, due to her Omniscience, but she still didn't have a way to strike his Soul Orb. He had to draw it out himself. But how could she get him to do that?

Inari's image faded out and reappeared a couple yards away from Moorza as he slowly got to his feet, after images following his body as he moved, steam rising from his body as his wounds healed.

"You done?" Moorza growled. "Do you feel accomplished now that you've done something, no matter how minuscule? Well, you should know, your actions are pointless. Look at me," Moorza motioned to his body. "You've done nothing. In reality, your actions never held any true affect, no matter how much 'power' you believe you have, you are limited by your own existence, the mortality of your soul. You are just as worthless as you were before, girl."

Inari felt a fire rise up, boiling in her stomach. She was tired of feeling worthless. She was done with it.

"If that's what you think..." Inari spoke. "Then you are mistaken." She held her hand above her head and suddenly a massive ball of white flames that sent waves of heat across the area, melting the pearl white ground and causing it to sink in while the air was distorted by heat waves. Above Inari floated a sun of white flames.

"These flames are impossible to put out, and anything they burn can never heal. If you are turned to ash by these flames, no matter whether your soul is intact or you are immortal or not, you will never heal." Inari explained. "Now perish from this world."
