Hitoshira Nagi
Outside Battleship S.L.E.I.P.N.I.R - Rothschild Mobile Base
It's strong.
It's so, unbelievably strong!
I giggle as toxins rush through my body, feeling them dance through my veins as Lilith holds onto me. "Ne, Lilith-chan~ do you think when we win we can visit where you're from?"
It's excitement, blood, rushing through every part of me as I drown in a sea of poisoned flames, a smile on my face as I nuzzle my face into Lilith's neck. "I bet there's lots of strong guys in there! And we can fight forever and ever and ever!!!"
I move again, standing upright with glee as I stare at Ananta with a huge smile. "Anantaaaaaa, you've done something haven't you? Ahhhh, you've really done it now, haven't you? This is definitely not natural, riiight? I don't remember feeling like this befoooore~"
My face breaks out into an even wider smile as I spin, twirling my axe. "But that's oooookaaaay, because I can just... erase it."
My sea of souls roars in approval as I seek them out, casually flipping through pages of skills that I had once had - but this is not a skill I had ever had. This is a borrowed skill from a borrowed corpse, something I had attempted when the Kyuubi ran through my body.
Light erupts in my veins as I stare at the Ananta, my lips splitting wider and wider, as I feel the power of the sun whisper its way into my blood. "Ne, Lilith, he's charging up an attack isn't he? That's not okaaaay, you can't just pause a fight."
Somewhere, hidden in my veins its there. It sits, waiting, patiently - oh so patiently - but it can't be picked up. Because fear --
Isn't something that can be found inside of me.
Oooooh, the chill that runs up my spine... isn't it delightful, Hitoshira Nagi? Isn't it the most wonderful thing you've ever felt? Don't worry, there's no need to answer, I already know.
"Hmmm... If he's charging up an attack, then I guess we'll just charge up one too! Lilith, what''s the name of that spell you had?"
I ponder it for a moment, my axe lazily spinning circles around me, carving wisps of black out of the air. Then, my eyes light up as I remember.
"Ah, yes! I remember now!"
I point forward with a polite smile, tilting my head at Ananta. "I believe it was called Mudoon."
It's with a smile as I move my hand back to my axe, eyes dancing with delight. "You know, I dare say that Ananta believes that he can defeat us!"
That's laughable.
"Of course, we'll have to disavow him of such a ridiculous notion. Isn't it craaaaazy, don't you think, for him to dare believe that it can defeat us?"
This is a world of heroes and villains.
"If he has a hundred summoners, then I'll just have to use the power of a hundred and one! If he uses poisonous fire, then I'll burn it all out! I can't believe it, Lilith! He thinks he can win!"
It's important to have hope ---
"But if he wins... then everything ends, right?" I smile at her.
Even in the face of absolute despair!
"Naturally, I refuse that outcome."
I launch my axe like a polearm at Ananta's throat, laughing all the while, twirling in a circle as I do so, and grabbing all the energy of this toxic flame that he's thrown inside of me, grasping at it as it delves into my sea of souls, as my hand warps into a gun.
There's a cruel and vicious fire welling up inside of me, a sickly green one that burns my insides to ash, filling up my guts with a flame that I can't help but devour. Energy whirls within my soul, building up and up until I can't hold it in anymore!
"Bang~!"
It coalesces into my fingers, and I can feel it as it shoots itself going straight forward in a massive blast of energy! I can't... I can't stop it!
But just because there's the energy of a hundred suns in the air --
Doesn't mean I'll let my weapon disappear! It's served me too well!
I can feel when my axe enters the skin of Ananta, trying to gouge through scale and into bone, and just before my shot hits it...
I rip it free!
"Hn~ do you think he's angry?"
I smile at Lilith, and madness and demons dance in my eyes.
