Noires' body lies dead on the ground. Stiven pants heavily and wipes off his sweat. He sits down and tries to rest his breathing.
STV: This isn't my revenge. The you I fought back then was stronger, way stronger. I wasn't even able to defeat you at your fullest, and yet here we are.
Stiven bows his head down. Pink goo starts to clutter up and moves towards Noires' body. It concentrates into her face, forming it into a malformed look. Stiven notices, gets up and walks over.
STV: What the hell is happening?
He notices Noires' finger move and instantly realizes what's happening. He weaves his blade and swings it, but it was too late. Noire grabs her axe and blocks his blade, before kicking Stiven away and getting up.
STV: You're not her. What the hell are you..?
NOR: ɎØɄⱤ ₩ØⱤ₴₮ ₦ł₲Ⱨ₮₥₳ⱤɆ!
Noire dashes towards Stiven, crushing the ground where she steps. Stiven assumes his battle stance and prepares to block her strike. Unexpectedly however, a second Noire appears from behind.
STV: (A distraction! It won't fool me!)
Stiven turns around and blocks Noire swing, but something he didn't expect happened. The Noire behind him had plunged her axe into Stivens' body. He drops to his knees, blood spilling out.
STV: *cough* B-but how?! I was certain that it was the real one, but somehow I was wrong.
NOR: Oh, poor Stiven. You've fallen victim to your own mind. What you just saw wasn't my doing. It was created from the ₣Ɇ₳Ɽ inside your mind!
STV: I'm scared..? But I'm supposed to be the most heroic of the leaders... the forsaken lord.
NOR: Admit defeat, weakling.
STV: I'm sorry Ashley but I have to use them.
NOR: You're still hanging on?
STV: The fight starts now, evil.
NOR: I won't let yo-
STV: Keijō 𝐈𝐈𝐈, 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲.
Stivens' blade dissolves into a liquid and surrounds his body, healing his wounds. He stands up and the liquid forms into two double-sided blades. Noire smirks.
NOR: This is gonna be ₣Ʉ₦!
Noire dashes towards Stiven at full speed and slams her axe into the ground, causing it to rupture and the house to crumble. Stiven rises from the rumble and zips around the battlefield, leaving small cuts on Noires' body. He is using afterimages to circle around. Noire transforms her arm into multiple spikes and fires them at Stiven, who easily dodges. Noire notices him and lunges in for an attack.
NOR: Face me head on, ₱Ʉ₴₴Ɏ!
STV: With pleasure.
Their weapons clash and Noire spits in Stivens' face. He kicks her in the stomach and then punches her in the face, dropping her to the ground. Noire gets back up and is pissed.
End of Chapter 125
"Fear"
[ Noire has evolved further and is now stronger then before. Will Stivens' 3rd form be enough?!
