There was no need to rush.
Spirit burning with a rage fostered over eight years, you put aside any care of your own body in a grasp for the power that was unique to you and you alone. Your own blood stains your hands, the normally clear crimson spotted with flecks of white that greatly resembled snow...
If you had resembled a human before, this act of something close to insanity once again affirmed that your mindset was that of a demon.
The pain was irrelevant, as long as your rage was satisfied, as long as you were able to avenge what should never have been taken away, then the methods you had to use were inconsequential, even this pain merely served to focus your spirit.
Yet in spite of this rage, your pace is that of a slow walk.
Allowing the effects of the machine time to dissipate, you take your time, clear thoughts of the steps you would take to annihilate this being already forming in your head of their own accord. On the side of your opponent, you can tell that he is not taking you seriously... His sword remains sheathed at his side, and his golden armor, something that would have seemed fitting in the old days of Greece, shines brilliantly beneath the normal fluorescent lights.
As demonic as your mindset was, in the eyes of this being, you were still a human.
Trash.
Nothing that can stand up to a God.
Perhaps it's overconfidence, no, it's definitely overconfidence.
Because the fist that appears, carrying a terrible weight that is meant to blow off your head in a single strike...
Carries far too many flaws...
You can see it.
As a person who was used to fighting things that could be considered stronger than himself, who had been beaten into the ground, time and time again, been left broken and bleeding on the floor as your opponent lorded their superiority.
Yes.
Having experienced that fist time and time again, with a different owner each and every time, there was just no way-!
"...!"
It was going to hit you again-!
In a blink, you were right past of the range of the War God's casual swing. You had not evaded through speed, as an ESPer, it could not be denied that you were one of the slowest ones, you could momentarily push past that natural barrier if you put your soul to it, but in this instance, against a fist that wasn't taking it's opponent seriously because of your existence as a human, you had already avoided it before it had even been thrown, your bloodlust urging you to target the man's face, but taking a potshot at the God's leg first in order to bring him down to your level.
The fist of a human should not be enough to give a God pause, the fist of an ESPer could perhaps do some damage, but the red skinned giant does not worry about it. He will accept the blow to his leg, laugh at your attempts to damage him, and then end your life in a single blow so he can resume battle with the cambion.
But...
This fist carries a poison that cannot be denied.
Snowfall creates a chink in the armor, and the fist that follows it is one that carries all of your rage.
And it hurts.
Who is more surprised, the Cambion who is watching, or the God who himself has been hurt, even if only a little?
His knee bending slightly, just slightly, at the touch of poison, you are on him like a Berserker once more, capitalizing on the weakness of a fool who had not taken you seriously. You are up, in the air swinging down at his head, and the light tap to his balance bears fruit as your blow knocks him to the ground, fist after fist battering away at a speed that could not be followed by the normal eye.
Somehow, deep inside you know that this will not be enough, perhaps its because the God has yet to die in spite of how many times you have hit him in this exchange, but you know that he will not be dead by the end of this exchange, but...
That does not matter.
Hurt him as much as you possibly can.
That is what your bloodlust demands.
A body hits the ground, blunting the fall for the berserker that follows, and a moment later-
*crash*
You find that you have been launched through the ceiling, up another floor, by a point blank fist that would have dug deep into your self inflicted would if it were not for Snowfall.
Down below, you can hear the sound of a sword being unsheathed even as your body slams into the new floor with a jolt, a sign that you seem to have angered your opponent, and as you recover-
"...!"
You are forced to roll desperately to the side as the ground beneath you explodes, your sword, your own weapon, having been hurled like a spear at your face by the enraged deity below, before it strikes something it can't pierce, the floor above even this one, for some reason you cannot determine, and falls to the ground a distance away, it's hilt the closest part to you.
Below, you can hear the red cloaked man laugh, and then the sound of blades meeting blades becomes clear.
