WAOA Arena

[DotSlash]

Carmen clutched her stomach in agony as Wei's spell did its thing. [color=bb0066] ...How the hell...?? [/color] In her current state, she could only grit her teeth and watch as Wei stepped closer to her. She managed to stay on her feet through the pain, though she was wobbling a slight amount as her silhouette-like form stayed the way it was.

 

[Drakmorg]

Weizoth took a deep breath and spoke as he continued to approach Carmen. As he approached, his book's pages began turning again. His free hand started to glow with a radiant cloud of gold that surpassed his aura in brightness. He lunged forward, attempting to place his glowing hand on Carmen, which would transfer a massive amount of diving energy into her body if it were to make contact.

 

[DotSlash]

Still sensing the holy aura and being swayed to move by instinct, Carmen let herself drop to her knees in a crouch, sighing a bit in relief as Wei's hand passed over her. She quickly extended her hand in front of the man basically in her face before casting Violence once again, this time much stronger due to the short distance.

 

[Drakmorg]

Realizing he couldn't avoid Carmen's spell, Weizoth made another swipe at Carmen with his still glowing hand. Regardless of whether his own attack struck or not, he'd be hit head on by Carmen's Violence spell. His aura glowed brightly once again to protect him, but it was only capable to taking the brunt of the damage while some of the force slipped through. It bashed against his armor and formed massive cracks in his chestplate, as well as driving him back several feet.

 

[DotSlash]

Wei's swipe managed to touch Carmen and she shrieked as she coughed up more black blood. She stared at her spilled blood for a moment before looking back toward Wei, slowly but shakily rising back to her feet. She calmly gripped her dagger, gritting her teeth against the pain of having divine energy coursing through her. Her body naturally worked to expel it, but as such her spellcasting time was much longer than usual.

[color=bb0066] "5th Circle: Anger..." [/color] Her dagger became a pitch black broadsword. She slid back into a neutral stance, breathing a little heavily before swinging the sword and creating another smaller gust of wind, aimed at Wei's book rather than him.

 

[Drakmorg]

Weizoth depended on his aura to protect him as the small gust of wind approached, barely concerning himself with it and having the pages of his book turn as he prepared another spell. Casting another spell, a black column sprung forth from his right hand, shaped vaguely like a sword. As Carmen's gust struck, it tore apart Weizoth's book, as it wasn't covered by his aura. His left hand dropped his book, though his hand was still twisted in the position of holding it.
A moment later, he sprang forward at Carmen, swinging at her with the black column that had engulfed and extended from his right hand. As he brought it closer to Carmen, small white specs appeared along the edge the was closer to her. The specs spread apart until it became apparent that they were a massive set of gnashing teeth, and that whatever Weizoth's blade would strike, the teeth would bite down on.

 

[DotSlash]

Shifting again after noticing the set of teeth coming at her, Carmen quickly sidestepped to avoid the swipe, allowing the blade to bite down on whatever it may. She countered with a stab straight toward the cracks in Wei's breastplate. Remembering what had happened last time, she took precaution against the flash by throwing up a body-height black energy wall, which her blade passed through like nothing.

 

[Drakmorg]

The teeth of Weizoth's blade bit down on nothing as Carmen avoided his slash. If Carmen listened carefully, she might hear a growl of discontent coming from the blade. Carmen's slash widened the cracks in Weizoth's armor, but not by terribly much. His armor flashed as Carmen predicted, though it was blocked for the most part by Carmen's wall, her eyes would still be irritated by how incredibly bright it was even by her not looking at it. Weizoth stabbed towards Carmen with his teeth blade. If the wall were to block his strike as well, the blade would grow until it created a maw massive enough to engulf the wall, then bit down on it, hoping Carmen was close enough to get a chunk bitten off of her as well.

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen closed her eyes and winced slightly at the flash before turning her attention to the blade and it's growl. She smirked before pulling her blade back and stabbing straight toward it. [color=bb0066] "I understand now... obviously you're not human... but you're really something else..." [/color] She said as she casted Greed on her own blade, meaning that if hers touched his, it would be drained rather quickly. With divine energy still in her, the stab was still a bit slow.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Such should have been obvious from the beginning...Care to take a guess at what it is you truly face?..." Weizoth grunted in anger with his remaining breath as his teeth blade was consumed by Carmen's Greed. With what little he had of it, he pushed Carmen's blade off to the side, then lunged towards her. He attempted to grab her sword arm by the wrist and bury the claws of his other hand in her side, then bite down on her shoulder with the mouth still growing out of his helmet.

 

[DotSlash]

[color=bb0066] "Just a haunted piece of armor... To think that you'd give me so much trouble..." [/color] With most of the blade consumed, Carmen regained a small bit of her strength back. Having her blade pushed off, she retaliated by suddenly dispelling the black aura around her and causing it to form a gauntlet around her left fist. Since her left was her sword arm, she calmly pulled her hand out of the way of Wei's attempt to grab it. However, his claws dug deep into her sides. Grunting as the teeth came toward her, she shifted and swung a monsterous left straight directly at his face.

OoC: I'm off after the next post.

 

[Drakmorg]

Carmen's blow struck the side of Weizoth's helmet with enough for to cause his head to turn with a sickening sounding crack, like that of a man's spine being broken, as well as causing massive cracks to form in it. In response to her melee strike, his aura gave off another bright flash directed towards her. Despite suffering what would have been an undoubtedly fatal blow, Weizoth drew breath and spoke once again. "Not...quite..." He simply replied. He dug his claws deeper into her side, then twisted his head to the side with another crack and attempted to bite down into Carmen's forearm.

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen grunted a little more as the claws dug deeper into her. Seeing Wei come at her again, she winced and swung her fist toward the face again, this time charged up with Greed. She covered her eyes in response to the flash, still wincing at the various sources of pain she was having to deal with, including the nearly eye blinding light.

[color=bb0066] "Then.... what... are you..!?" [/color]

 

[Chungus]

Greed shrugged in responce to David, too engrossed in watching the fight to give a propper resonce. Both are formidable fighters, that's for sure. I'd have to try pretty damn hard if I was up against either of them. His eyes darted between Carmen and Weizoth, following the attacks and more subtle movements the two made. I don't fancy fighting a woman, but that stone guy... Now that could be interesting. I want that book of his... Who knows what secrets are kep in there.

 

[Silver Shadow]

Ino was having a hard time followign the attacks but could tell the match was nearing its end, she tured to Greed and asked "W-Who do you think's going to win?"

 

[Drakmorg]

Weizoth's teeth became lodged in Carmen's gauntlet as she swung her fist towards his open mouth. The force of the blow cracked his helmet more, causing small pieces to start to chip and splinter off. Though there were several large chunks that seemed to have enough cracks to be able to detach completely, they stayed in place. In response to the strike, his aura once again let off a blinding flash of light. He breathed in and said, "Ask me again when this battle is over...I do not fancy possibly giving away my weaknesses...in the middle of combat..." It was apparent that his words were coming from the inside of his helmet, and that his mouth was simply intended to be a weapon. Using his mouth to attempt to hold Carmen's arm in place, he stabbed at her with his free hand, and twisted the other he had while it was still lodged in her wounds.

 

[Chungus]

Greed gave Ino a shrug as equally inattentive as he gave David. "It could still go either way, but honestly, my money's on the stone guy." he answered as he continued to watch carefully.

 

[Silver Shadow]

"Would he actualy kill the girl?" Ino asked, hopeing hte answer was No

 

[Chungus]

"Wouldn't suprise me. Again, this is a arena. People dying tends to be common in those." Greed answered Ino, then as an afterthought added, "But appearantly, folk come back when they kick the bucket here, so it doesn't matter either way." Now that I think about it, how do the dead just come back? Sounds like a recipe for immortality to me... I should check this out.

 

[Silver Shadow]

"Oh, well thats... no as bad as I thought." Ino replyed and whent back to watching the fight.
