Of Angels and Demons: Ragnarok

Energy

I calmly take a deep breath and try to summon more energy. It hurts a lot just to get a little more energy. I grit my teeth and keep trying. Yaguya, I need more energy! Please, I need to have more energy to even scratch her. Suddenly I hear him laugh slightly. I feel an overwhelming amount of energy coursing through my body. I feel the air grow cold as Azura smirks. "Now calmly breathe in and out. Relax yourself." She says as I loosen my muscles and sigh deeply. I close my eyes as I feel Yaguya's energy dwarfing my own. This power, it's incredible. I think as Azura chuckles lightly. I open my eyes and see her smiling. "Now let's have some fun." She says as she runs toward me. She teleports behind me but I duck then jump away. "What the hell?" I mumble as I she smirks. "Yaguya is controlling your reflexes. It's gonna be harder for me to hit you." She says as she stops smiling. "But be warned, the more you use Yaguya's energy, the more you'll lose yourself." She says as I get hit in the face. As I hit the wall I feel myself get mad. I lower my head and glare at her. "You wish to protect all your friends? You want to save everyone?" Azura asks as I suddenly lose all my anger. I nod as she smiles. "Just don't forget why you're fighting, if you hold onto your reason, you will be more likely to hold onto yourself." Azura says as I nod. She raises her hands. "I will train you. You won't leave until you scratch me." She says as I teleport to her. "That shouldn't take long." I say as I throw a flurry of punches and kicks towards her. She easily blocks everything then gets in close and thumps my forehead. I get knocked back to the wall. As I stand up, I remember my training with Ayden. "Yea, it was just like this. It was hard. I didn't think I'd pull through it like I did." I mumble as I run toward Azura. Yaguya, let's win this. I think as I feel even more energy rush through me. I quickly lunge toward Azura. She jumps over me and I teleport behind her. I kick toward her but she easily catches my foot. I smile as I concentrate. I summon a ball of black and white energy around Azura and me. I expand the ball a bit and kick her feet. She barely moves but she let's go. I spin around and land on my feet. I quickly tackle her to the ground and summon Evony. "I win." I say as she smiles evily. As I blink I see I'm falling and a trail of blood is following me. my eyes widen as I see my arms are missing. As I hit the ground, I grit my teeth. She appears next to me and squats down next to me. "Did you really think that puny attack combo could even hurt me?" She says as my arms regrow. "But I have to admit, your regeneration ability is really good." She says as I stand up. "Well, that should be enough for now." She says as she snaps her fingers. The room turns into a library with thousands upon thousands of books. "When you're not training physically, you'll be training mentally." She says as she hands me a few books. I sit down and revert to my normal form. I take a deep breath and start to open a book. She places her hand on it and keeps it shut. "How much do you really know about demons and angels?" She asks as I shake my head. "Not much actually." I say as she sighs. "Where to begin?" She looks up to the ceiling. "From the beginning, angels and demons were meant to be fighters. Protectors of something and destroyer of something. Each had a role. But somewhere this changed, demons started being considered evil and angels good. And after long enough, demons became what they were called...monsters." Azura says as she lays down on the table. "The color of energy. What gives it color. Well quite simply it's just the power of those before you that your using. Subconsciously, your body is using the right energy for a scenario. In order from weakest to strongest, the colors of energy are: yellow, green, orange, blue, red, black, purple, gold, white, silver. I can use silver energy, but it even takes concentration for me. Silver, creates or destroys. Yaguya uses white energy, Glaire uses white, and Malis uses red and black." She says as I look at her. "What about the other being with them? The unnamed?" I ask as she shakes her head. "She's an unknown. I can't get a read on her." Azura says as I stare at her. "Kai, overall, you're very strong. But comparing you to other beings can be laughable. You using all your power had problems fighting me at 1 percent." Azura says as I sigh. "So how do I get stronger?" I ask as she smiles evily. "Well, you're at your peak, but if drink the blood or consume any part of another demon or angel, you'll gain their powers." She says as I close my eyes. "So I'd have to kill other angels and demons and drink their blood or something to get any stronger?" I ask, trying to make sure I'm not imagining this. She nods. "Yes, it's not the best thought, buts it's all you could do to grow stronger." She says as I shake my head. "I don't want to do that." I say as she smiles. "You could kill corrupt angels and demons. They deserve it." She says as I think for a moment. "Tell me, and please answer truthfully." I say as she looks to me. "Could I beat Telas at my current level?" I say as a brief silence sweeps the room. "No."
