" You!!!!"

/THUMP!/

With a kick, the God Of The Blackwoods sent Sarah flying again, her mana spears that pierced his limbs were still there, 2 in each leg and 1 in his right arm were resting in place. The black robe he wore became wet with his blood. Now there were holes in it that showed his ghastly white skin. As for Sarah, she preformed a backflip in mid-air using the mana spears as a platform and landed safely. Her clothes, which were what she wore while sparring, were slightly dirty, but other than that she only seemed a little fatigued. As I switched my focus back to the God Of The Blackwoods, I noticed that Sarah's mana spears that were still gouged in his body began to shake minutely.

/POP! CLANG!/

And then they were gone from his body, all 5 of them had fell to the ground. I was surprised. Even more so when I saw that tiny black plants had pushed them out of the wounds that they were stuck in. The black plants poked out of his wounds like tiny spikes before receding back inside his body like tiny animals.

/RUMBLE! CRACK! SWOOSH!/

With the plants now in his body, before he began to bleed out, parts of the black trees that were around us began to crack and shake terribly. Without delay parts of the trees broke away from them and began to float towards the God Of The Blackwoods. The floating pieces... They... They turned from solid wood into what looked like black fluid. The speed of this " liquid" began to pick up. It then began to fill in the wounds on his body that Sarah's mana spears had left only a few moments ago. Then the wounds... They just... Returned to normal. Like the injuries never happened.

" You'll pay for that! Do you hear me you bitch!"

" RAAARRHHHHH!"

Sarah just screamed at him. Her mana spears returned to encircle her. They began to spin and fly all around her like wasps circling a bee's nest.

/BOOOM!/

And then Sarah jumped back into the fray, against the God that seemed rejuvenated almost. But something was apparent about him. 2 things had changed after he had " healed" himself. The first was that his breathing had become more ragged. The 2nd was that-

/CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!/

A ferocious assault by Sarah interrupted my thoughts as the next clash began without me even being able to see who attacked first. Sarah attacked, not only with her single halberd, but even the other 12 spears that were flying all around her, all attacking at the same time in what seemed to be random attacks.

" Hahahaha! Kill... Kill! I'll Kill YOU!"

The screams of our enemy reminded me where my thoughts had been interrupted. The 2nd change was simply that his anger had continued to grow. With both of them acting this way now, I'm not quite sure which person was the one in a berserk rage. One person had begun screaming " I'll kill you!" over and over again and on the other side... Well.

" RAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

They were screaming their head off as they began the next round of their fight.

/ CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!/

One after another, they clashed their weapons and dodged when they couldn't block with their weapons, many of the attacks had each of them dodging by the skin of their teeth. Admittedly, I grew fascinated with Sarah's movements as the battle between them progressed, I could see elements that have always been a part of her elegant movement during combat, but now, there's something new... Something wild, powerful... Deadly. She was so familiar yet different. It made me wonder what had happened to change her in such a short amount of time to make her like this. Her berserk rage from earlier in the night was more like a wild wounded animal, but now...
