Jiga shined his necklace once more, his aura forming into one of a blue cross as he gazed at Atsui. "Then let's see it. I've been waiting to see the power of the Abyssal Serpent for a long time. He paused, chuckling to himself softly. "So…Your serpent versus my faith…I wonder which one will come out victorious?"
Atsui's serpent grew small devil wings on the back of it, whiskers of the remnants of an ancient dragon on the sides of its face. He dashed towards Jiga swinging his spear, the momentum made it shift into a halberd of sorts. He swung it with an extension of destructive flames into a tornado like motion.
Jiga started to float in the air, supernatural abilities of the church at its finest. The cross from his aura moved and clashed with the destructive flames causing sparks to fly through the air. Jiga moved around and aimed at Atsui, finger guns forming on his hands as small crosses flew at Atsui and Satsujin like projectiles, keeping his distance and keeping the long game active for as long as he could until his partner showed up for him.
Atsui brought his Halberd upwards and spun it around over his head quickly producing a shield of said flames around himself, a whirlwind shook the park as he put himself on defense. Jiga's crosses started appearing throughout the clouds as they headed straight down for Atsui and Satsujin, they flew down at rapid speeds destroying the park around them, burning and ripping apart the trees and scenery.
Satsujin moved around, she was flexible, athletic and nimble to the max. She twisted her body avoiding any debris as she moved towards Atsui. "What about a team attack? Let's take back the advantage Atsui."
Atsui nodded to Satsujin, he readied his halberd and prepared for Satsujin to lead the attack against Jiga. He knew little about the church itself only that it was currently a nuisance and roadblock in their path. It disgusted him.
Satsujin moved through the carnage and jumped towards Jiga in the sky. Her extremely strong legs aiding her in her flight towards him. She moved through, slamming her pole against the large crosses made of energy sending cracks through them before they shattered. Jiga let out a weak smile at this, not because he felt weak at all but because that was about the extent of the reaction they could get out of him.
"Ah. Beautiful. You two are truly wonderful..Unfortunately..These are simply apart of my abilities as the church." He watched on as Satsujin tore through his attacks at great speeds, soaring and dashing through the sky, almost as if she could double jump. She scoffed at his reply. As if she had used her true ability yet. His words, especially from the church were rather blunt, and for that matter annoying to her. A nuisance just as Atsui thought.
Atsui took the low route, trailing underneath Satsujin and leading a trail of flames behind himself. He charged forward towards Jiga, the snake of his aura showing great it's dastardly strength as it charged towards him, multiplying into smaller snakes that held the same power as the large one that had manifested.
"Move."
Jiga aimed down and a huge blast in the shape of a cross headed for Atsui below, Satsujin was still occupied and he had time. The blast ripped through the snakes as it honed in right onto Atsui, attempting to injure him greatly. Atsui brought his Halberd upwards and readied it to defend himself once again, taking the aggression and charging a blast of flames on the halberd blade. Jiga moved downward towards Atsui and rushed at him moving around the flames. He reached out towards him, about to grab him by his face.
Atsui grinned and his eyes flashed an orange color. His body was encompassed by burning snakes, the snakes all had greenish eyes but the ones around his face surrounded it in a black aura of unknown origin. Jiga backed out at the last minute stepping back in a flash before acquiring his footing yet again. He looked on silently. "The Abyssal Snake...What ever could that be?" He smiled to himself after managing to save himself from whatever harm those snakes would cause. "Hmm...Interesting.."
Atsui did a front flip to recover his landing, positioning his halberd infront of him defensively. He waited for Satsujin to make a move once again Satsujin landed on her feet not too far from Atsui.
"This isn't working...but I don't want to use my Tokubetsu...."
Atsui understood that they might both have to use their abilities if they wanted to win but he also didn't want to use his own Tokubetsu to fight Jiga. He was in the same boat as her.
Suddenly the atmosphere froze, almost like time stopped..but it didn't. A small banging noise could be heard. To be quite frank, banging was probably a false assessment of the new noise. It was applause, and foot steps, synced together perfectly. A man slowly made his way to the scene, a smile on his face. He looked on at Atsui and Satsujin.
"My my..you lot sure know how to get yourself into a brawl huh? Don't get too crazy now. You'll destroy this entire nation if you release your true power..or perhaps that's just me."
Atsui looked in at the new figure, he wasn't afraid to destroy this land if needed and had prepared to do so in extreme cases like right now. He got in a defensive stance and readied himself for this second combatant.
"Who are you?"
"Yufūkuna Nayvadius. Richest man alive. The man who owns the land that Tairiku once sat on and ended up turning it into a piece of his nation. Over the course of fifteen years he's created some of the most powerful and influential lands to exist."
"Ah Atsui. He is the other member I mentioned. He shares the same goals as us." Satsujin bowed, showing respect towards Yufūkuna.
Atsui smiled thinking on the advantage they now hold over Jiga and his strength. "Then I guess the holy man here is done for."
"Do not be foolish…I've yet to reveal my cards and I have help on the way. Who says my situation is hopeless? That naive attitude is what tells me you're not ready for whatever you're trying to do with this world. You're simply just a boy in a sandbox. Nothing more."
"Chaos brings order unto the world. Utmost order is needed to bring peace and justice but corrupt orders like your own are what drag our worlds down. You simply preach a faith in something that has no evidence of existing. We will bring peace and prosperity to this world and the next."
Jiga laughed at Atsui, cackling at his remarks. "You truly are still a boy. You don't understand the concepts of chaos and peace. You're young and naive. One that only sees the world through a corrupt lense because his frame of reference is small. You are a sinner who is lost..but…There shall be salvation unto them, a goodly light. And for all of you sinners there shall be no salvation but on you all shall abide the curse of the beast. But for the elect there shall be light and joy and peace, and they shall inherit the earth. And then there shall be bestowed upon the elect wisdom, and they shall all live and never again sin either through ungodliness or through pride: But they who are wise shall be humble…And they shall not again transgress, nor shall they sin all the days of their life, nor shall they die of anger or wrath but they shall complete the number of the days of their life."
Jiga's aura began to rise, causing the entire park to shake with a rapid force that caused a glitch in space and time, almost as if reality itself was conforming and changing before the eyes of the world.
"Let me save you from that pain Atsui Hebi. Let me take that burden off your shoulders. Let me show you the light..and what it can do for you."
A large golden, and even blinding light shined into the eyes of the three. Satsujin covered her eyes and fell backwards. The light itself was probably equal to staring into the sun.
Atsui raised his armament and engulfed it in blinding flames. His eyes showed the same orange hue that was devoid of the light that guided Jiga. His aura turned black suddenly and the serpent once again appeared. One that consumes and displaces, one that could lead to the destruction of many.
"I know what Order is. I know that false light you follow has no meaning, it's only a shadow to what the great Abyssal Serpent shall devour. My goals are greater than your weak willed blind truths. You will see Holy Man."
"Then allow me to reveal my Tokubetsu..I feel it's the right time, no?" Jiga smiled as he held his hand out. Golden cubes formed within the confines of reality, the fabric of its very existence making small beeping and clicking noises as a golden staff formed in his hand. He smiled as he aimed it towards him.
A large beam of light formed in the sky, aiming down towards the three of them.
"My Tokubetsu: Kyori Shiranai Hikari. The Greatest Tokubetsu to ever be known. Only because it shines with the fury of god and no other reason. So come Abyssal Serpent! Let me erase that darkness from your heart! I will purify you so that you understand that the word of God is the only order to be known. Let me show you that my light is not a shadow, but a concept that all of humanity must live under In the name of the father, the son, the holy spirit and the holy church I shall make you repent!"
Atsui roared out and slammed his halberd into the ground, his aura exploded, dismantling the environment to great lengths. The rubble of soil and rock floated above the ground and continued rising into the air. "Abyssal Serpent, Come forth and devour the man in front of me!!" He raised his hands to the sky as his aura took control and made his body completely hidden by his power. The aura formed into a serpent like before but it continued to grow, bearing whiskers of a dragon and horns of a demon. Its eyes were pure yellow and they peered into the soul of any victim to get caught off guard by it. The Serpent attracted the soil and trees around it almost like a black hole.
"Do you truly think that little beast will be able to end my light? Foolish boy. You yell out your last battle cry to attempt to stand against me..but to me..that cry is simply one of desperation. The moment I end you, is the moment your dreams stop..how tragic."
Jiga aimed down from the sky, a large beam of light appearing in his hands. A moment later the beam slammed into the ground near the snake, as if the distance was automatically neautralized. There was no speed of the attacks, because they were instantaneous.
The serpent sped backwards taking Atsui with it and protecting him with its body. The snake only began growing larger and larger, its fangs showed purple hues that would normally show a crimson blaze. The snake roared as it dashed in a flash towards Jiga, roaring as it moved towards the holy man, it's stature resembling the fabled world eater serpent.
Jiga looked down on the serpent, he aimed his hand down once more and beams of light impaled the serpent, he moved for Atsui directly, aiming to take him out first. Atsui, who was surrounded by the serpents aura, summoned his halberd back to himself, he charged at Jiga as the serpent was barely hanging on, his Tokubetsu being almost completely countered
"HAAAAA!"
Jiga smiled at this, holding his hand out,
Yufūkuna laughed a bit to himself, slowly approaching as Jiga stopped in his tracks. He grunted at the man who smiled.
"What a show that's been put on. Unfortunately you've played with my adversaries for long enough. It's time to move on from you. This ends here."
Everything stopped as Yufukuna spoke, almost as if Jiga's mana had turned off the moment he saw him.
Atsui had almost taken the attack directly but once Yufūkuna had stepped in he raised his halberd into the air quickly preparing to deliver a finishing blow to Jiga.
Jiga was caught off guard. What was that power thet man just used? Why did his ability immediately get turned off? His shoulder was slashed open from Atsui's attack as he stepped back, the wound large. He looked at the three, Satsujin simply observing what was going on.
"T-Tch!..A Tokubetsu..?..."
Jiga was extremely angry. Why couldn't he reactivate? Why couldn't he move? Why couldn't he fight back? It was as if his body itself had turned off completely..
Atsui smiled, his eyes showed no remorse for this man. The true justification of this slaughter only fed his desire for more. He brought his Halberd back and thrusted it forward into Jiga's abdomen, imbuing the weapon with flames that burnt the inside of Jiga's body, he got close to Jiga's face and spoke only a few words.
"I believe your God can no longer hear you. What a shame."
"You kill me and you're waging war on the Holy Church…I suggest preparing to be annihilated by my confidants."
Despite the grim situation Jiga didn't waver. That was one of the first rules they taught in the church. Do not flinch.
Atsui twisted his halberd into Jiga, he smiled knowing these last words mattered little to him or his family.
"War?… you can't have war without a nation, and frankly, I think im the holiest man alive…"
Jiga coughed up blood as his eyes began to fade, the flames of the serpant completely torching his entire body. His body went limp as it hit the ground, his blood splattering over the grass with burnt chunks of his remains. A deep silence filled the air. An angel had fallen from heaven today.
