SOULTALE | By ShadowNTS

(Chapter 156) Turns.

In the darkness of the tower, you find yourself surrounded by the forces of the void. Spector dashes towards you, throwing punches at immense speeds. You retaliate and battle it out with him. The others watch as you brawl.

SPT: I've gotta say, you're quite fast even with Kanes' slowness!
RHT: Tsk, as if.

Spector throws a swing but you dodge and deliver a punch to his stomach, pushing him back. You go after him and throw multiple jabs. Spector blocks and counters by uppercutting your jaw. You move back and rub your chin.

RHT: (This is humiliating.)
MKN: Spector, enough playing around.
SPT: You got it.

Spector jumps onto the stairs above and watches down. Plint looks very excited. Kane closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. You ready for the worst.

MKN: Let's finish them off.

Plint teleports behind you and roundhouse kicks you, sending you flying. Spector jumps from above and catches you by the arm, throwing you against the wall. You regain your breath and see Plint getting ready to jump across and deliver a fatal blow. You go to move but...

MKN: I order you to freeze.

Your limbs freeze in place. Plint dashes towards you. Unable to dodge, Plint kicks you hard on the stomach, making you cough up blood. The tower shakes from the impact. Your blade drops over the edge. You force yourself back onto your feet. Spector smirks mischievously, whilst Plint massages his legs.

RHT: I'll give it to you, yall are quite a team.
PLN: Right?!
RHT: It's gonna be hella fun chopping your heads off.
PLN: Aww, I thought I finally got a fan.

You clench your fists tight and focus your energy.

RHT: Jiguko, lend me a slither of your power.
JGK: Of course, but remember, without blade in hand, it's going to be weak.
RHT: Ignite, Jiguko.

Your fists and arms get engulfed in hellfire. Your eyes turn pitch black. Kane senses something is off. Spector shouts out to you.

SPT: Come at me first, harbinger!

You switch your attention to Spector. He is taunting you.

RHT: With pleasure.

You dash at him in an instant. Spector is shocked at your increased speed. He tries to back up but you grab his face and go to slam him against the wall.

MKN: I order you to freeze.
RHT: Another copy.

A clone of you dissolves out of your body and slams Spector into the wall. Kane looks annoyed. Your clone turns around to go towards Kane but Plint comes out of nowhere and kicks the clone into a puddle. He sets his sights on you and smiles.

PLT: I'm such a l-lucky boy!

Suddenly, you see your blade falling from above.

RHT: (Ah, I see. This tower is but a mere pocket dimension. That must be the 4th members' power. In any case...)

You try and feel the blades' energy.

RHT: Jiguko, return.

Right before Plint can kick your head off, your blade comes flying into your hand.

RHT: Sacred Release, Scorching Abyss.

To avoid the fire, Kane is forced to let go of your movement. You stare at your enemies. Kane looks worried, whilst Plint is even more excited.

Jiguko is the only one out of the sacred weapons to have consciousness! That makes him very smart! (or so he likes to think...)
