Dia vs Scathach part1

Pov Dia,

In the dimensional gap, two figures faced each other: Dia Eucus, born Gremory, and Scathach. Many high-ranking members observed their clash, which was notable because Scathach was the only opponent Dia had never faced in public.

The arena was surrounded by a trillion runes, preventing their battle from having any external consequences.

Additionally, these runes ensured that no one could die, even from Dia's immense power, unless she intended it.

Scathach: "Why do you want to face me now, when you're about to marry the Youkai Princess?"

Dia: "Because today, I will defeat you and avenge myself and my two women for the torture you call training."

A sneering smile appeared on Scathach's lips.

Scathach: "And yet you won't deny that everything you have is thanks to that training."

Dia: "Of course not. I'd be a hypocrite to say otherwise. But I still intend to avenge all that suffering."

A crimson naginata appeared in Dia's hands as Scathach summoned her faithful lance, Gae Bolg.

The tension in the air was palpable; everyone watching the broadcast leaned closer, not wanting to miss a single moment.

Suddenly, Dia spun her crimson naginata before hurling it toward Scathach. Scathach dodged effortlessly, but as the naginata returned to its owner mid-flight, it struck out at Scathach once more.

Turning swiftly, Scathach used the tip of her spear to block the naginata, stopping its spin. Crimson and golden flashes erupted from the clashing weapons.

This entire exchange happened in the blink of an eye, showcasing the true power of these two fighters.

At the moment of impact, thousands of runes disappeared, consumed by the excess energy needed to contain the battle. These runes also served as a timer — once they were gone, the fight would end.

Thousands of crimson clones of Dia, in varying sizes, appeared everywhere, preparing to attack.

Dia: "Crimson Ryu Sei Ken."

This attack shocked the Greek gods watching the battle, as they recognized it as the signature move of one of Athena's protégés.

Billions of scarlet energy blasts surged toward Scathach, who spun her spear at an unimaginable speed to block each one.

A crimson clone the size of a titan, wielding a massive hammer, brought its weapon down to crush its enemies.

The attack was blocked effortlessly by a single hand, proving to all that Scathach, though human, remained extraordinarily strong physically.

Dia: "Firework."

The clones transformed into massive arrows that shot toward their targets.

Scathach: "World of Runes."

With a single motion, she summoned millions of runes, drawing the arrows toward them for protection.

From the shadows, a simple yet color-shifting spear appeared, aiming to pierce the Mistress of Runes from behind — but the attack proved futile.

A rune appeared to shield Scathach but shattered, destroying the protection she had placed before the battle.

Scathach: "Do you really intend to defeat me without honor like that?"

Dia: "No, but at least now I know you won't use your back as a shield."

Only ten seconds had passed since the fight began, yet every second felt like a battle in itself.

The speed and strength of these two fighters, among the world's ten strongest, were not to be underestimated — if they wished, they could destroy the world.

Dia: "Now, let's get serious."

Scathach: "Go ahead, reveal that other form that makes my excitement for battle soar."

Dia's body erupted with energy, transforming beyond recognition.

Dia: "Now, let me show you a little surprise. TENCHIHÔMETSUZAN."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and summoned it.

A dangerously red lightning bolt surged toward the battlefield before halting in front of Dia, revealing a sheath containing something immensely destructive inside.
