Point-of-View: Rosary Farndrey

———————————————————————————

"Soul Weapon Ascension: Venom Armor."

Armor manifested around my entire body, with a row of sharp, curved spikes above each forearm and over each elbow, short, pointy blades forming ahead of my toes and behind my heels, with straight, narrow spikes on each knee, as two rows of curved spikes formed down my back.

The armor extended around my face and into my mouth, taking the shape of sharp fangs over my teeth, as I felt my senses sharpening and my body getting lighter. I’ll kill her, I’ll fucking kill her, even if I die in the process, I don’t care, I need her to die right here and now, by my hands.

"Wh-what? Impossible, how could a mere Commoner like you possibly have mastered Soul Weapon Asce-...!?" Began my opponent in disbelief, before abruptly trailing off as I shot towards her in a cold, burning fury, her eyes widening in alarm as I closed in on her and slashed at her throat.

She quickly turned herself across to evade, my claws tearing through her exoskeleton-like armor and narrowly missing her skin, as she stumbled away, a look of fear appearing in her eyes.

This is tougher that I expected...getting used to such a drastic boost in speed is tricky, it’s hard to keep up with my own speed. But no matter...I’ll just keep trying until I land a hit, she can’t evade forever.

I then shot towards her again, slashing at her face with my claws, which she narrowly ducked under before I whipped one of my feet across at her legs, cutting through her armor around the front of her calves and missing her skin by a whisker.

As she swung one of her pincers at me, I sprang above it to evade it before swinging my right arm outwards at her chest, the curved spikes along my forearm ripping the armor above her chest, before she flinched as I met her gaze with a burning, murderous glare.

She then whipped her stinger up and across towards my throat as I landed, I responded by swiftly raising my hand and grabbing the appendage before it could hit me, before sharply tugging on it to pull her off balance.

I then leapt forward as she lost her balance and began to fall with an alarmed cry, slamming my right knee onto her stomach, the spike above my knee piercing in and elicited a sharp gasp of pain from her, before her entire body stiffened up as she fell onto her back with a thud.

I’ve got her now. It’s over for her, her death is all but confirmed now. So, how should I go about killing her? There are so many ways I could do so, which one to pick?

"I...I can’t move...!" She cried in horror, her body completely paralyzed.

"My Soul Weapon paralyzes anyone who I cut with it...and in its Ascended form, that effect is prevalent in every single blade across my body, so long as I landed even the smallest scratch on you, my victory was assured. And now, you’re going to die...and I assure you, it won’t be a painless death," I remarked coldly, before stabbing one of her eyes with a claw, eliciting an excruciating screech of pain from her as I popped her eyeball, her Contract wearing off as violent shudders of pain erupted across her paralyzed body.

I then grabbed onto one of her breasts, digging my claws in and twisting them around as she screamed in agony, before I violently yanked my arm back and ripped it right off her chest, and then stuffed it into her screaming mouth to silence her.

Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down the sides of her face as I plunged one of the blades on my feet into her thigh and viciously dragged it down her leg, muffled screams of pain echoing out from her mouth as I tore her skin to ribbons and gouged out chunks of flesh, blood bursting out and splattering across the ground, painting it red.

My rage surged as I continued to tear her apart with increasing brutality and fury, as I drove my claws into the right side of her chest, grabbing hold of a rib and ripping out out, before using it to stab her other eye, blinding her and twisting the bone as my shoulders trembled with a burning fury, eliciting excruciating screams of agony from her.

It wasn’t long before she went limp, the sheer pain causing her to lose consciousness, but that didn’t stop me, I continued to rip her body apart with feral viciousness, unable to stop myself as I let my anger completely take over me, until I finally plunged my claws into her neck and violently twisting them inside, tearing into her throat before ripping her head off.

I then stood back up shakily and stumbled back, my Soul Weapon Ascension wearing off and returning me to my normal state as I raggedly tried to catch my breath, sweat pouring down the sides of my face as my body continued to tremble.

As I slowly began to calm down a bit, my breathing easing up slightly, I shakily turned my gaze back towards Rayven, my chest tightening as I felt a lump in my throat, before I stumbled over towards him, a slight sting in my eyes as tears welled up.

I collapsed onto my knees next to his body, a choked sob escaping my lips as the tears poured down my face uncontrollably. I shakily reached down towards him, gently picking him up by his shoulders and clutching onto his as my sobs turned into anguished wails...
