Lee Seng tumbled onto the ground, rolling along the burnt ground. He flipped himself over a couple times, catching himself mid-air and coming to a stop. A gust of wind flew around him, extinguishing the flames. Lee Seng pulled the light energy towards him and let out a burp.
"Man, this form takes a lot of energy." Lee Seng wiped his mouth. The red hair woman's hair billowed behind her. Her off-white dress fluttered in the wind the noises died.
[All of the Orcs and Hobgoblins have been forcefully removed due to killing the Summoner. An added 14,000 souls has been added to the soul bead pool! 231,674/1,000,000.]
[Notice: Anytime you summon a Creature, it'll use Soul points from the Soul Bead instead of actual Energy.]
'Interesting.' Lee Seng thought. 'I'd be playing with my progression, but maybe this effect will be negated with progression to the ninth tail…'
"Tell me, Perfect Singular." The red hair woman spoke. Lee Seng's attention snapped to the woman. "There are only two of you in existence right now. You aren't a little girl, so I can only assume that makes you the other one. The one we've been searching for."
"And what if I am?" Lee Seng asked. He summoned Sun Blade and twirled it in his hands. The woman scoffed at his question.
"It's not what if, Perfect Singular. I know you're him. You're—" The red hair woman began to say when Lee Seng appeared in front of her. "Block." A rush of mixed energies flew at the woman and her shield. Lee Seng pushed with all his might, watching the Observer's shield handle it with ease.
'She's tougher than I thought.' Lee Seng thought. The woman pushed Lee seng away, forcing him backwards twenty feet.
"You didn't let me finish. I see you aren't a gentleman." The woman sighed. She brushed her off-white dress and shook her head. "You're definitely him. Good-looking, impatient, and good-looking. A shame I have to take you in… I wouldn't mind using you as my plaything…"
"The only person who's been in and out of me is my brother!" Lee Seng pointed his sword at the woman. She raised an eyebrow at him and Lee seng cocked his head. "Wait, that sounded wrong…"
"I thought you were smart, Mr. Chang." The woman shook her head. "It seems all of those smarts went out the window. Tell me, Mr. Chang, were you hiding in this backwater city? You think this city will protect you? Deimons are everywhere. Eyes will continue to watch you no matter where you go. It's not like—"
"Yada, yada, yada, ya." Lee Seng swung his sword. "I don't care! Why don't you do yourself a favor and flee? I won't kill you if you turn a blind eye to my existence." The woman cocked her head and frowned. She shook her head at him.
"I cannot do that, Perfect Singular. You've fallen right into my hands, so it's a given I'll take you back by force and become stronger." The woman disappeared as the sky lit up in multi-colored balls.
'Analyze.' Lee Seng ordered looking at the balls of energy.
[The multi-colored balls are energy-based. It seems like the Deimon can 'counter' and 'cancel' attacks, absorbing them. It looks like she can manifest them back and use it against her enemies.]
'So she's consumed a lot of peoples' energy…' Lee Seng frowned.
"I'm sad I'm not the first." Lee Seng spoke aloud.
"You won't be the last." The Observer's voice whispered behind him. The balls of energy fired at Lee Seng. Lee Seng sighed, erupting in smoke. The woman reappeared in her spot, eyes studying the smoke. Her lips curled in disappointment. "I didn't kill him."
"You didn't hit me." Lee Seng pushed the smoke away. Dark Matter floated all around Lee Seng, slowly pulling back towards him. Lee Seng's face turned to ecstasy as he the energy flew back into him. "Man, is this what it's like to give yourself to someone? It feels great." The Observer bit her lip. Lee Seng was toying with her. Even she knew that. She pointed a finger at Lee Seng. Lee Seng flashed forward, swinging his sword straight for her arm.
"Hellish Rebuke!" The woman shouted. Fire and Ice exploded outwards. Lee Seng's body felt like a freezer burn except it was literally freezing and burning at the same time. The woman disappeared from his sight. Lee Seng roared, releasing a large blast of fire in front of him. The celestial fire ate at the ice, freeing him. Lee Seng spun, blowing fire around.
'She isn't totally gone.' Lee Seng thought. 'I can feel her.' The ground burned with star-fire.
"Consume." The Observer's voice echoed in the air. Celestial fire flew upwards, circling around Lee seng before entirely disappearing. The red hair woman appeared above him. She pulled the fire into her fist, smiling. "Counter!"
"New Moon Stance: Silencing Fire." Lee Seng' leapt into the air, swinging his sword straight for the woman's neck. Celestial fire exploded out of her hand, back onto Lee Seng.
"Cancel!" The woman shouted. Lee Seng didn't fizzle.
'It isn't a spell? Then it's a—'
SHING!
Dark Matter exploded out from the woman's back like a spider's web. The Observer gasped for air as all of her energy had physically left her. Lee Seng quickly slashed the blade across her throat. Blood spewed as her Dark Matter began to fall. Lee Seng pulled the Dark Matter with his right hand, sharpening the woman's own Dark Matter.
'Transform.' The woman thought. Dark Matter spikes rained down as the woman exploded into nothingness. Lee Seng slammed his right hand into his chest, pulling the Dark Matter into him. A demonic scream erupted into the air. An ethereal hand flew at Lee Seng, swatting him to the side. Lee Seng's sword was immediately knocked in the opposite direction. The hold on the woman's Dark Matter disappeared. The Dark Matter turned to liquid, pulling back into its maker.
The woman cackled as flew forward. Her red hair wildly rustled behind her as her purple jagged body appeared out of the smoke. Her long hands were now sharp jagged ends. She threw her right arm forward, smiling sinisterly.
"Die!" The woman shouted. Lee Seng threw a shield up, watching as an invisible force smashed the shield in an instant. The jagged right end of the Deimon woman pierced Lee Seng in his chest. Lee Seng gasped as the woman pulled it out and went in for another piercing blow with her left arm.
"Ah!" Lee Seng shouted, pushing the woman backwards with his voice.
'Lee!' Keng's voice shouted in the back of his head. Lee Seng launched himself forward, instantly healing his wounds.
"To me!" Lee Seng shouted. The Sun blade flashed into his hand, shimmering brightly. "Devouring Crescent: Frenzied Strike!" Lee Seng's blade shrieked, loudly, as Dark Matter grew around it. The Sun Blade had turned darker, eclipsing the blade. Lee Seng swung it, five dark after-images appearing after. Lee Seng slashed at the Deimonic woman, watching as five more attacks flew at her. He continued to strike at her, tearing her to bits. The forest shook with each attack.
Lee Seng's screams echoed in the air. The woman's body torn asunder by the time Keng found him. Lee Seng continued to attack the dead body as Keng shouted at him. He didn't hear Keng. He couldn't. The rage. The rage screamed in his ears, blocking Lee Seng from Keng.
"Lee!" Keng grabbed Lee Seng. It was his first mistake, but it wasn't his last. Lee Seng pushed Keng away and turned to strike his own brother - his own Soul. "Lee!" Keng's voice grew more confident as the blade sunk into his shoulder. He pushed the pain away. Pain was just a concept. "Lee! It's me! You're fine! It's dead!"
Keng didn't know that the thing behind Lee Seng was the Observer. She was badly mutilated and a strange energy festered within Lee Seng. An energy that wasn't right. Lee seng ripped the jagged and bloodied Eclipsed Sun blade away and swung. Keng tackled Lee Seng onto the ground, inches away from the mutilated body and pushed onto Lee Seng's arms and legs.
"Come back to me. It's fine! You're fine! Let the blood lust go." Keng instructed. Lee Seng grunted. He could only see the Deimon woman in front of him. He shouted at Keng while trying to pull Keng off him. "Come back to me! Come back!"
"Ahhh! Just die!" Lee Seng shouted. A blast of gravity pushed Keng off for just a moment. Lee Seng blasted up onto his feet and swung the Eclipse-Sun sword at Keng's neck. "Die!"
"Lee!" Keng's voice sounded like a drop of rain. Lee Seng's eyes shook as he stopped. The blade of his sword nicked Keng's neck just a bit. His body had gone into survival mode in an instant and he hadn't known Keng was in front of him. "Lee, put the weapon down!" Lee Seng shuddered. He pulled the sword away, taking a step back into the pool of blood.
