"It seems it has already started," She says. She appears in front of the base. "They got here earlier than I expected them to. I knew they could arrive while I was gone, but it was only around 10 minutes. My meeting had terrible timing," she says. She looks around the battlefield. She sees Satoshi, Aevum, and Krytheos. She notices that Dai'chi and Lilith are missing. "Damn it, I told Dai'chi and Lily that they weren't allowed to leave while I was gone. I probably should have checked if Lily was even listening while I was talking. She was completely spaced out." Iori summons her scythe and walks out onto the battlefield.
"You got here faster than I thought you would," Aevum says. "I expected you to take at least a few hours for a meeting," He continued. He pulls a trident out of an unstable portal. He stabs one of the soldiers who runs up to them.
"It was supposed to take longer, but then the person I was meeting with decided not to show up. I'm assuming that it was the people trying to kill Satoshi who asked for a meeting. When I got there, they tried to stop me from leaving. They obviously failed," She says. She dashes towards the army. She holds back her scythe, it gets cloaked with a purple veil. She slices through multiple soldiers with ease. "O refk ksof fmay zoks ksire muzab ul Nebp: Rubbimkat Yowsk," She chants. Three purple magic circles form behind her. Black beams of light shoot out, melting everything in their path. "I expected there to be more powerful soldiers. I don't even have to try," She says.
"There are a few powerful ones fighting. One of them is going head-to-head with Satoshi; it's hard to tell which one will win currently. Krytheos is also fighting someone powerful. He will be able to delay him, but Krytheos isn't doing any damage," Aevum says. They both run towards the berserker mage.
Krytheos swings his battle axe at the Berserker Mage. They push his Axe to the side and go in for a punch. Krytheos dodges to the side, but is obviously slowing down after fighting this losing battle for 10 minutes. Aevum comes down from the sky, chanting a large spell as he falls. "O Rey imuh muzab dewor. Braekire e fmaeb ksek moabraf ksuiws di ahadoaf. Fkopire ksuiws ksire saevahf zoks ksof fmay. O fidduh ksire muzab ul lobire, ksire muzab ul zekab, ksire muzab ul ksire aebks, ksire muzab ul yowskhohw, ksire muzab ul nebp, i dýnami tou chrónou, Vis sanguinis, et vis mortis. Ruhfidire di ahadi, Aowskluyn Fmaeb," He finishes right when he reaches the Berserker Mage. Colors swirl around as they take form. A spear begins to form in his hand. He thrusts the spear right into the Berserker Mage at point-blank range. He raises his arm to block, and smoke flies out in all directions. Aevum jumps back; his arm is completely destroyed. "That better have done a lot of damage to kill him, now I'm… going… to take a… nap now," Aevum says. He passes out in the center of the battlefield.
Iori walks up next to him. "What kind of idiot do you have to be to use a spell that causes you to pass out in the center of the battlefield. I can't even teleport you back to the base thanks to this anti-magic barrier," She says. The smoke starts to clear as the Berserker mage walks forward. He becomes fully visible as he steps out of the smoke; the arm he blocked with is missing. "I guess that managed to do some damage, even if it was barely any at all."
"There goes my left arm. It'll probably be back in a few seconds anyway, so it doesn't matter much," He says. He walks towards them. "I was going to say the three of you might be able to stand a chance, but I guess you'll have to do with just the two of you." Krytheos holds his arm down in front of him. Faint circuit-like lines slowly disperse from his hand in the shape of a bow. After flowing out of his hands twice, a physical form begins to appear. It turns into a rigid, blue, and black bow. He pulls back the string of the bow and aims at the Mage. a blue arrow forms out of mana
"The only reason I haven't beaten you yet is just because I haven't gotten a chance to attack," Krytheos says. "Now that I have someone here to help, taking you down will be no problem." He releases the arrow, and it flies at the berserker mage. Their arm fully regenerates, and he catches the arrow.
"What was that about you easily beating me the moment you got a chance to attack, you'll have to do bet-" He says when he suddenly falls down. He turns and looks back at his legs and sees a giant hole in them. "I guess you did manage to hit me, I'll give you that." His leg fully regenerates as he stands back up. "But you'll have to do better than that to beat me."
Iori dashes at the mage. He prepares to counter her, but he gets stopped. "O refk ksof fmay zoks ksire muzab ul Hekobire: Bafkbeohohw buukf," Krytheos casts. Two dark green circles form on either side of the berserker mage and hold him down. Iori goes in to slice him with her scythe. He concentrates his mana into his foot and presses his foot into the ground. The ground shatters and sends out a large shock wave. He tears his hands out of the weakened vines. He concentrates his mana into his hands and claps. It causes an even larger shockwave followed by an explosion. Iori gets launched backward, taking a bit of damage from the explosion. Satoshi lands next to them with three knives in his neck.
"You look like you aren't having the easiest time with your opponent, it seems," Iori says. Satoshi pulls the knives out of his throat, one at a time. Aevum finally wakes up, and he gets up from the ground.
"This guy isn't a problem at all; he just is so damn annoying to land a hit on. It reminds me of when I fought Jesse in the past, except instead of dodging, he's just blocking it all," Satoshi says. He runs back at Cosmic while yelling. He continues to try to hit him with Skull Cleaver, and Cosmic blocks with his sword.
Krytheos jumps at BM. "Activate skill, heavy slash," he says. His Axe begins to glow as he comes down with triple the momentum. BM tries to catch Krytheos's battle axe, but it ends up slicing right through his arm. Krytheos turns around and cuts off the rest of the arm. He jumps backward. "O refk ksof fmay zoks ksire sebnahohw myehakf, ksire avuyvan aebks: bukekouhey cevayoh," Krytheos casts. A giant spear forms next to him; the head of the spear has a shape similar to a drill. The spear starts to rotate, then launches at BM. BM dodges to the side, but it slightly hits his side, shredding the skin.
Aevum begins to cast next. Iori starts to continuously attack BM, keeping him pinned down. Krytheos takes out the enemies that get near Aevum. "This time, my attack will do its full damage as it charges," He says. "O Rey imuh muzab dewor. Braekire e fmaeb ksek moabraf ksuiws di ahadoaf. Fkopire ksuiws ksire saevahf zoks ksof fmay. O fidduh ksire muzab ul lobire, ksire muzab ul zekab, ksire muzab ul ksire aebks, ksire muzab ul yowskhohw, ksire muzab ul nebp, i dýnami tou chrónou, Vis sanguinis, et vis mortis. Ruhfidire di ahadi, Aowskluyn Fmaeb," he says. Many colors swirl together to form a spear. Aevum throws it. As the spear flies through the air, it takes on a more physical form. It hits BM's remaining arm and explodes. It destroys BM's arm and chars his body around the point of impact.
"This battle is over," Aevum says
