The sun has started to descend behind the far mountain ranges. The two district leaders temp up to go against the embodiment of feared hatred. Noire charges up her axe and dashes towards her opponent. Jackie aims her wand towards Noire and fires multiple magic pellets.
NOR: Not enough to stop me!
JCK: I wasn't trying to stop you.
Noire, distracted from the incoming pellets, doesn't notice Malachi dashing towards her. Unable to dodge in time, Noire gets hit by a devastating swing Malachi did with a replicated mace, sending her crashing across the ground.
JCK: Nice one, Malachi!
MLC: Alright! We can win this easily!
Jackie and Malachi go to high five each other when suddenly, a giant rock flies in between them. Noire managed to lift and throw that with sheer strength alone.
JCK: (I don't like muscle-heads like her. She outmatches us in pure strength but we have experience and technique on our side.)
Noires' anger continues to increase violently. She dashes towards Malachi at an immense speed, swinging her axe ruthlessly. Malachi barely manages to avoid her attacks and get enough distance to fire a storm of arrows at her. Noire raises a wall to stop them but the arrows pierce through and scratch Noires' skin everywhere.
JCK: Our teamwork is unprecedented, Malachi! Who knew your arrows coated with my magic could pierce anything?!
MLC: Ehh, you used that move without knowing if it would work..?
JCK: That's how cool attacks are created!
MLC: What a weird creature.
JCK: Shut up!
Their chatter gets interrupted by the sound of growling. They look over with a confused look and see Noire in a almost unconscious feral state. Drool falls out of her mouth.
MLC: This is the same person who almost defeated all of the knights at once?
JCK: ᕼᗩᕼᗩᕼᗩ! What a joke!
MLC: Please don't laugh like a maniac, it really creeps me o-
JCK: Aww, c'mon! I don't laugh like a maniac! Hmm, Malachi are you okay?
MLC: Her wounds... are gone.
JCK: Huh?! Something feels off! Be care-
*SHAKE*
The ground shakes from the immense energy Noire is outputting. Jackie and Malachi stay on guard. A giant pillar of darkness engulfs Noire.
MLC: What the hell is happening?!
Red light resonates from inside the darkness. Suddenly, Noire emerges from the pillar. In an instant, she traverses the battlefield and delivers a unearthly blow to Malachi, before turning her attention to Jackie, piercing her body with sharp spikes.
MLC: *cough* All of that happened so fast... just what is she..?
JCK: Not human, that's for sure. Among the many strong warriors over the centuries, only a handful of them held the power of bearing three soul traits.
MLC: Three... heh, that's terrifying.
JCK: Fear, Hatred... and Determination. Those three traits together make up one of four supreme soul traits, Chaos.
MLC: Guess we have no choice but to win.
JCK: It seems so.
Jackie clenches her wand tight in her hand. Malachi forces himself back onto his feet. Their eyes shine with their respective powers.
JCK: Soul Power, Witches' Manor.
MLC: Soul Power, Absolute Weaponry.
The combatants get transported to a pocket dimension where the witches' power stands supreme. Malachis' body gets reinforced and his book changes appearance into a dark book with no cover. Noire smirks.
End of Chapter 146
"Chaos"
[ Noire has awakened her third and last soul trait, determination, thus forcing the district leaders to play their strongest hands. ]
