Redemption of Darkness: The Neglected Rias Brother"

chapter 29: meeting Azazel

As Ruby appeared before me, swinging her scythe with practiced precision, I moved swiftly, dodging her attack with ease. The metallic clang of her weapon echoed through the room as I gracefully evaded her strikes, my movements fluid and calculated.

Meanwhile, Blake attempted to ambush me from the shadows, but I anticipated her move, vanishing from her line of sight in an instant. With a flicker of movement, I reappeared behind her, catching her off guard as she turned to face me. Before she could react, I seized the opportunity to disarm her, rendering her momentarily defenseless.

Weiss and Yang, seeing their teammates engage in combat, rushed to join the fray, their determination evident in their swift movements. They launched a coordinated assault, aiming to overwhelm me with their combined attacks. However, I remained unfazed, my reflexes honed through years of training allowing me to anticipate their moves before they even made them.

As Weiss conjured glyphs of ice and Yang unleashed a flurry of punches, I danced around their attacks with effortless grace, sidestepping their strikes with precision timing. With each evasive maneuver, I maintained a calm demeanor, analyzing their fighting styles and searching for an opening to counterattack.

Despite their relentless onslaught, I remained elusive, my movements a blur as I effortlessly dodged and weaved through their attacks. With each dodge and evade, I calculated my next move, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.

As the skirmish continued, a sense of exhilaration surged through me, the adrenaline pumping through my veins as I engaged in combat with Team RWBY. Despite the intensity of the situation, there was a mutual respect underlying our actions, a recognition of each other's skills and capabilities.

Eventually, the battle reached a momentary lull as we paused to catch our breath, the air thick with tension and anticipation. I glanced at Team RWBY, a playful grin on my face as I acknowledged their formidable skills.

Me:Not bad, but you'll have to do better than that to catch me

I taunted, a twinkle of mischief in my eyes.
The tension crackled in the air as Weiss sighed, her determination evident as she pointed her sword at me. Ruby's voice joined in, a note of anticipation coloring her words as she echoed Weiss's sentiment.

Weiss:Yeah, we want to see what you're capable of

she declared, her eyes fixed on me with a mix of curiosity and resolve.

I tilted my head in response, a playful glint in my eye as I prepared to showcase my skills. With a burst of speed, I appeared in front of Ruby, moving faster than her semblance could activate. Before she could react, I struck, the force of my blow sending her flying backward with a startled cry.

Blake descended from above, her agile movements betraying her intention to launch a surprise attack. But I was ready for her, my mastery over time manipulation allowing me to freeze her in mid-air with a well-timed Time Stop. She hung suspended, her eyes wide with shock as she realized her movements had been halted.

Meanwhile, Yang surged forward, her fists clenched and ready to strike. But I was already one step ahead, phasing through her attacks with effortless grace. With a flick of my wrist, I unleashed a devastating Gravity Blast, the force of the impact sending Yang tumbling backward with a surprised grunt.

As the battle raged on, Weiss and I clashed blades in a flurry of strikes and parries. Her swordsmanship was formidable, each of her attacks executed with precision and skill. But I met her blows with equal ferocity, my own sword techniques seamlessly countering her every move.

With a swift maneuver, I disarmed Weiss, sending her sword clattering to the ground. She stumbled backward, her eyes wide with disbelief as she realized she had been bested. In a final flourish, I unleashed a powerful sword technique, the force of my strike knocking her to the ground with a resounding thud.
