You clench your blade tight and stabilize your breathing. Cosmin leans forwards with his sword.
CSM: Shining slash.
He dashes forwards at the speed of light. You predict his movements and dodge in time to avoid a fatal strike. You lunge at him and swing your blade. He turns around and blocks your swing. Suddenly, a hand appears out of the darkness and grabs your leg, tripping you on the ground. Cosmin takes advantage and thrusts his sword. You dodge and it gets stuck in the ground. He pulls it out and backs up in time to avoid your kick. You get back up.
CSM: This fight isn't going anywhere. Seems like I have to change up my approach.
RHT: (What the hell is he planning?)
CSM: Riqu! It's time.
Riqu appears from behind him.
RIQ: You mean we can do it?!
CSM: Yes, I give permission.
RIQ: I've waited a long time for this!
CSM: Riqu, become one with me.
RIQ: As you wish.
Riqu is absorbed into Cosmins' body as his eyes turn pitch black. In his other hand forms a dark sword.
CSM: This is our Yin-Yang form. Harbinger, prepare to taste the feeling of defeat.
RHT: (Not another transformation.)
You grip your blade and get ready for battle. Cosmin rushes in and swings both of his blades at immense speeds, completely overwhelming you.
RHT: (He certainly got a boost in power!)
You back up and calm your senses. The stage of the battle has shifted immensely in your disadvantage. You grip your blade and dash towards Cosmin. He swiftly dodges your attack, before lunging in for his own strike. You block his swords but a shadowy hand emerges from his body and grabs your neck tight. You try to free yourself from its' grasp but it's too tight.
RHT: Let... go of me...
CSM: Ahh, you finally understand hopelessness. How does it feel being consumed by despair?!
RHT: It feels... amazing.
CSM: So you've gone crazy it seems.
RHT: Despair... fuel my power.
Your soul resonates within your body, giving you the strength needed to break free of Cosmins' grasp. You grab your blade and dash towards him. The two of you exchange blows without end, until a while later you find yourself in a stalemate.
End of Chapter 120
