Skylar grit her teeth as she felt herself being pushed backward by Midus's raw strength, "Damn it all!" Skylar moved to the side leaping away as Midus attempted to slash at her narrowly missing.
He noted how Skylar moved with more confidence, no longer committing to every blow she dealt.
Her eyes also showed signs of wariness, and upon seeing this Midus felt... Disappointment, "What is this? Where is your beast stance? Bring it out already."
"Pass." Skylar replied instantly, "I'm not fond of doing what my opponent wants."
Midus growled at that, "In that case, I'll force it out as I did before." he then shot forward once more, closing the distance instantly. And swung wide at Skylar, Skylar, however, slashed through the air with a gust of wind.
Her blade slammed against Midus's with enough force to send sparks through the air, in the same motion Skylar darted forward parrying Midus's blade and slamming her fist into the man's chest, knocking him skyward.
Skylar watched with careful eyes as Midus flew through the air before he hit the ground.
Midus landed upon his feet, looking to the side to see his blade was chipped, he then let out a huff standing tall.
He stared down Skylar for a moment, "That you've grown this much in such a short amount of time I can hardly believe..." he muttered reaching up he grabbing his helmet tossing it to the side letting it tumble worthlessly onto the ground, "But it matters not, should you wish to get past me. I shall oppose you with my all." he declared, pointing his blade forward, his eyes shining pink, "Even should it cost me my all, even should I become I monster, I will not falter. I will pay that price!!!" He declared this by thrusting his sword skyward.
Skylar's eyes widened as the ground around her began to rumble, she had to do everything just to keep her footing, "Oh what now?!" She growled.
The clouds above began to close in and grow dark, Midus chuckled bitterly as lighting fired down from on high striking his blade with electricity.
The rumbling ceased as he lowered his blade slowly, "BEAT WITNESS TO THE MIGHT OF MIDUS VAN HELSING!!" with those words he slashed forward and engulfed the entire area around him in a white light.
Causing Skylar to throw her arms up in an X shape and close her eyes, when her eyes reopened they widened as she looked around, "What...?"
Blue flames coated the area, and she stood in a grassland surrounded by burning buildings.
"Eve's Burrow as it was ten years ago..." Midus declared as he held his blade out to his side, he was wearing a fresh seat of armor and glared at Skylar, "It was here at my peak when my name became known to the lands." He then pointed his blade forward, "and it is here, where I shall be known once more. Come Skylar Shadewalker! Fairy Of Blood! ...The Blue Wolf awaits."
Skylar said nothing at first looking at the man before her, she slowly started to walk forward.
The field had changed.
As had the battle.
She wasn't the best at this sort of thing.
But she knew this fact and took it to heart if things continued like this.
She was going to lose.
"Running out of time." She muttered to herself before firing forward.
Midus smiled at the sight and he tilted his head slightly moving his lips to speak, "Ah. At last, I can see you."
With those words he reached out his left hand and grabbed Skylar by the face, smiling wickedly as he threw her aside effortlessly through two sets of burning buildings.
