[ 5/5 ] LP

How long, How long had it been since she felt this alive?~ Her crouched over frame sitting atop a blackened rock perch overlooking the suffering she had caused and all she felt was pure joy and desire to cause more. Blue eyes that emitted pure black smoke of excess magic glared down at the maggots called goblins below her as they attacked one another while their bodies decayed. Those that fell in the madness she would reanimate and force them to fight again and again nothing short of a horror movie to the most extreme sense of the word. THIS was what her magic was meant for not all that other shit her weaker persona chose to use it on.

"Dance more maggots!~ Entertain me more over and over again, that's all your pathetic lives amount for is my amusement after all.~"

The twisted and distorted voice echoed over the madness, below as it was not just goblins forced to dance the deathly scene below. The half rotted bodies of animals big and small also fought to the death of thrice at the whim of the black witch. Kaede's alter personality that was built to defend herself from the reality of getting locked into the game had no respect for the world around her. Slowly sliding down as feet crunched a skull of a human who expended their usefulness and got drained dry of life to fuel part of this madness. The smell of death and rot was heavy both around the area and the woman who casually started to walk towards the madness as it neared the end.

"Such a shame I don't sense more life in this area, that other side is going to wake up before I find more things to play with... fucking annoying brat that one... I'll find a way to stay out, and then this whole world will be my playhouse.~"

More twisted words as the black witch placed a heel against a corpse that could no longer come back to fight for her amusement and drain it of lifeforce and move onto the next leaving only the mangled distorted remains of a once living being behind. Each step into the madness she reveled in it, imbedding the screams, the splashing of blood, the breaking and bending sound of bone into her memory as each was precious and needed to sate her bloodlust. And when it all went quiet, and she was left in the silence among the rotted deformed masses of flesh and bone, the decayed and black area she created there was a single ping of life that drew her focus. A slow turn of the head before fully turning to face it as her head turned slowly.

"Oh?~ Another plaything? Will you scream, oh please scream in horror. Run, let me chase you and break any hope you have.~ Let's play this game of death on hardcore more!~

What should have been a simple job to clear out some goblins had led Selene to thge sight of a onesided slaughter, as some creature with pitch black skin and glowing blue markings on her body wielded terrible magics, causing the goblins to slaughter each other even whilst their bodies rotted away and decayed around them mid-fight. And the woman, creature, thing, seemed to be amused by the show, treating it all like it was just a performance that was being put on purely for her entertainment.

And amongst the mosh pit were even the half-rotted corpses of animals, literally falling apart as they bit, pecked and lashed out at everything that moved. The sound of a skull crunching underneath the foot of the female monster caught Selene's attention, the elf having been watching, horrified, from her hidden position, after having been prepared to ambush the goblins only to come across this scene of carnage instead.

She couldn't really make any sense of what the woman was saying, something about a 'brat' or something like that. The only thing that Selene knew was the absolute panic that she felt when, after the madness had finally stopped, the creature turned to look at her. Her heart stopped in her chest, before she listened to every instinct she had available.

And took off into a sprint.

"Fuck this!" She shouted, trying to make her escape, one hand wrapped around the hilt of her sword in case the worst came to pass and she had to draw it to defend herself.

The dark witch could only smile and chuckle as she watched the elf try as she might to run away. She was the only thing in the area to amuse her, like hell she would allow her to escape.~ Eyes moving slowly watching each possible route the girl could take before she flicked her wrist sending black magic into the ground and after the elf. Forcing nature to her mercy as a a mangled hand would snap out and grab hold her ankle, and then another for the other as the dark witch slowly walked to close the distance.

"Oh, you got some distance plaything, would you like another chance?~ I'm feeling generous right now, you can have the chance but if you fail again You need to fight me for a third chance?~ How does that sound, or we can fight now and I'll go easy on you.~"

She was toying and lying with the woman. She might have allowed the mangled hands to let go but the moment she saw intent to run they would grab and force the girl to the ground. Generous was not what one would assume with someone as twisted as this abomination. Moving closer as she would summon an undead to push the elf back to her feet and face the dark witch who just smiled waving at the woman's weapon with a yawn.

"You lost, so come on draw the sword, least I can do is let you fight for your life.~"

Spoken in a lackluster tone as the witch overlooked the elf. had the weak bitch been around she would have done other things to the woman but all that crossed the dark witch's mind was making her suffer and feel true terror. Happily cackling if the girl thought fighting would give her a chance for escape, allow her to least die trying to survive rather then getting shot down from behind. Reaching both arms out as if to say she would give the woman a free hit, but that was also a lie as her fingers crossed and set up a counter.

Panting as she sprinted, for the briefest of moments, Selene thought that she was going to get away, that she was fast enough to escape the female monster, who seemed to be more of a magic caster than any kind of physical fighter. She'd been so sure that she could get away that her face had broken out into a small grin as she noticed the woman's figure getting smaller and smaller in the distance.

And then a mangled hand wrapped around her ankle, taking any momentum that she'd built up away from the elf, whilst the monster was free to walk up to her, taunting and mockingly offering her either the chance to escape or an easier fight. Terror filled Selene's mind as an undead practically forced her to her feet and she was told to draw her blade and fight.

She'd never been this scared before.

So without even speaking a word, Selene lashed out, drawing her blade and bringing it diagonally upwards across the woman's body, aiming to cut deep.

The dark witch saw the attack clear as day, index finger flicking as the undead she had used to get the girl back to her feet would move and take the attack for her. The mangled mess of flesh and bone groaning in pain as it looked to Selene and for a very brief moment almost as if allowed to say 'thank you' before it was sent back into the earth unable to be brought back by the dark witch anymore. A brief scowl across her face before she would shrug it away.

"Was a useless mound of flesh anyways, you on the other hand still have some life to you.~"

Hand moving across the air, slashing as black magic raptured outwards and shot towards Selene. If the girl was not fast enough to counter or evade it would incur the same fate as the goblins. Eating away anything it was allowed to touch to fuel it to keep going. The dark witch could only imagine how much pain it would convey if the girl was dumb enough to have pain dampening turned off. All it did was make her smile and wave her hands as black orbs drifted around her.

"Dance and suffer more plaything, let's keep this game going until one of us bites the bullet?~ Or would you rather go beyond that, serving as an undead pawn?~ Maybe I should force that fate onto you?~"

The witch chuckled as she thought it over, the girl had no real say in the matter if she failed to stay alive against the attacks. Watching with eager eyes that crackled with magic how this elf would keep fighting. She was still kept at arm's length and seemed only able to use that sword so far meaning without a gap closer she was doomed to fall before getting a strike in. Maybe it was worth giving her the hope she had a chance the witch wondered, but that would only prolong the game that was on a timer already.

Her swift slash was intercepted by something mangled and undead that almost seemed to thank her as it crumpled and died finally, though it didn't bring any confort to the swordswoman, who watched with wide eyes as the monster regarded the fresh corpse with contempt and then sent a wave of whatever that awful black magic was at Selene herself. Selene, who had seen what it did to the animals and goblins that it washed over, braced herself, trying with all of her might to steal the spell using Guard Arts and suck it into her sheathe.

She managed to save herself from the worst of her attack, but it was still agonizing, as what remained of the attack stripped skin from her flesh and caused her to shake and scream as she tried to backpeddal out of the fog before it could melt her even more.

She still lashed out, wrapping spiritual energy around her blade to increase its length, long enough for her to slash and cut at the monster even with this distance between them, screaming out in terror as she swung wildly.

The dark witch could only chuckle, watching the girl struggle to defend against the attack only to fail at fully blocking in the end. The smile growing across her face as she savored the screams and watched her try to get space. Tipping her head as she would rush forward with one hand ready to catch the incoming counter attack. The spiritual blade only digging a mere centimeter before the witch's blood would rush out stopping all moment and shoving the weapon away as she chuckled.

"So close, but Maggots need to know their place when facing the face of extinction!"

Free hands moving towards Selene, both crackling with dark magic as the witch intended to do serious harm. She wanted to hear her scream more, watch her struggle or beg for mercy or to be spared. The idea of watching the elf grovel was enough to fuel her to not simply wish the girl's death. She wanted to see her break down, like the many others she had given the same fate for getting close to harming her. To see the look of hope fade from their eyes, to see them beg for a swift death to end the torment.

If the elf was not careful and failed to evade the attack the magic would spark into the open wound, ripping it wider and attacking the magic within the girl like a virus on overdrive. The witch was enjoying it to much to want it over so soon, how could she extend the fun without having to bring the prey back to life over and over again? Maybe she would use the girl for some other sorts of fun, there was that type of playing her weaker side did rarely, where one got rough with the partner and they seemed to enjoy it.

That was when the smile switched, it was blank and void as only one idea raced across the mind of the witch. This girl was going to break and bend, and then when she was done she would shatter and forcefully rebuild her to do it all over again. The laugh turned into a cackling as the witch moved back to let the girl get her swing in, savoring the violence while she could as soon there would be little time for such things.

"Come on Maggot, I'm right here, try and get at least one attack to draw real blood from me so you can least rest knowing you could have stood a chance had you crossed my path later in life?~"

The monstrous woman's blood itself seemed to repel her blade, cloaked in spiritual power as it was, shoving her attack away and leaving Selene to stumble and flail, thrown so off guard that her ability to defend was compromised. Selene could only watch in horror as the woman prepared some kind of dark attack that crackled at her fingertips, before it lanced outwards, towards her.

It practically crawled into her open wounds, sparking and shredding it open even further as flesh began to melt and rend. Selene screamed out in agony, her own magic beginning to spark and misfire, being eaten alive from the inside by whatever dark energy this woman had conjured up. Selene fell backwards, writhing in pain and torment.

And as the monster took a step forwards, Selene, unable to conjure up any more spirit magic as it was eaten away from the inside out by the woman's corrupted, dark energies, could only lash out wildly, her blade cutting an amateur and weak arc through the air, slow and wild enough that dodging it would be the easiest thing in the world, as wounds erupted in her arms, oozing blood that began to be flecked with small black particles.

The witch did not even give the girl the luxury of evading the attack, simply reaching to catch it with the blood that had been spilt around them with a yawn. She was no stronger to picking on those weaker but this was starting to bore her just a bit. Did the girl not have the will to survive, or had it already been taken from the girl before her by someone else? Moving forward as she would change the blood into a black bolt of magic and aim to stab the girl in the shoulder as she leaned closer.

"Where is your spark to live maggot? So many others that fought had it but you are over here being a mockery to the living to the very end? Did someone already break you?"

If the bolt had found Selene's shoulder the witch would twist and send a surge of black magic into the prey again boiling her insides first and leaving the outside for what was to come. Moving closer as she knelt down and dropped almost all her defense out of a false sense of pity for the broken one before her. She was like her once, her other side was and that was how she came to be. Maybe this girl could be useful later on, it would be a project to fix her and make her useful but it was not impossible if the witch desired it.

"Has this world already made you feel worthless? How about this, survive this, land a hit and I'll make sure to rebuild you as someone who does not give a damn what the world does to them without you returning it back ten fold.~ What do you say, wish to become a monster like myself or do you want to cling to that humanity until the bitter end?~"

The witch was giving her a choice, she likely doubted they would take it as most refused the offer but it was all the while worth it as it helped her break them later. That thing called humanity was a crippling crutch at best and the sooner people found that out the more monster would roam the lands of this game. That was what she was after, a legion or elite group of monsters to rule over the lesser ones. her grin would return as she pulled the bolt slowly had it been within Selene, or took aim ready to throw it this time. Either way she knew this girl was going to become a toy for some time if she did not fight back seriously soon.

The blood around them caught her desperate sword swing, Selene cringing as she felt the blade come to a stop without sinking into anything. She was so scared, her hands shook and trembled, though that was also due to the pain of her injuries as well, though it did not mean that the terror had no effect on her. The monstrous woman continued to mock her will to live, calling her a maggot.

And then stabbing her in the shoulder with a black bolt of blood. Selene screamed out in pain as it sank into her shoulder, splitting the flesh, before the bolt was twisted and another surge of black, dark magic was pumped into her body, beginning to boil her insides as Selene screamed in agony. It felt like her organs were expanding and about to burst, before she was dropped.

And then the monster had the nerve to drop in front of her and lower her defences to offer Selene some kind of deal. Only, Selene knew a bad bargain when she heard one. The bolt in her shoulder burned. Her fear tore at her mind.

"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" She screamed as she pushed herself to her feet, swinging upwards with a stronger, far more accurate slash than the previous one, aiming to cut Kaede from hip to shoulder.

The witch could only chuckle, even if she did not bother with defense her magic would act as needed. The blood moving to slow and push the blade so it would only leave a small scar as if to mock the attempt as she stood up and laughed at how even if the girl wanted to live she lacked the strength for it at the time. it was toys like this that made her enjoy things, so frail and easy to break as she laughed more. Shifting her weight to the side while waving a hand over the scar and mending it.

"You will if you can't fight back, come on at this point I feel sorry for you ha-ha."

Waving the black bolt to go after the girl if she tried to fight more, she wanted to see her face of fear in the final moments, the thought that this was the end of the line even though she had no plans to kill the girl anytime soon. Humming a twisted tone as she would try to drive the bolt deeper into the other shoulder trying to render fighting back useless. To take away the hope was the greatest turn on for the witch as she laughed and began to close the distance for what would likely be the last time in this fight.

"One last chance to dance, Can you actually land a blow or will you end up falling over without least getting to say you did damage to a monster?~ or will you break down and beg for mercy?~ Don't keep me in suspense.~"

The blade scored only a thin line against the woman's dark skin, making Selene shriek in fear as she watched the wound soothe over itself, fading away without even a scratch to hint that it had been there and certainly nothing to insinuate that she had hurt the woman at all. All she could hear was the woman's mocking, taunting laughter, before the bolt was shoved and stabbed into her other shoulder.

Selene dropped her blade as her other arm exploded in white-hot pain, screaming out as she fell to her knees and writhed in agony, feeling more and more of her insides melt and boil. She clenched her teeth hard enough for some of them to crack, tears streaming down her cheeks, as she gathered spiritual energy in her mouth for one last gambit.

"Please....don't kill me..." She begged, before her mouth stretched wide open and fired a laser of spiritual energy, aimed point blank at the woman.

The witch would just grin seeing the fight mostly start to fade from the woman, seemed her will to fight was not as strong as it needed to be to harm. The final attack in the form a breath laser that almost landed, The witch going to chuckle as it was rerouted by the blood once again. She tried, and tried but there was just to much a gap and with a slow wave it seemed she was done playing with her food.

"Oh don't worry about that, I have far worse fates planned for you then killing you.~ I do hope you enjoy suffering and being used as... Oh you will find out soon enough ha-ha.~"

Slowly the witch would clap her hands together and allow her Chronomancy to make the final moments of this little play fight truly torment. Hands then moving to snap her fingers as the magic within Selene would spark again, try as she might the only way to stop the magic was to push it out, otherwise it would in slow motion push the girl to the brink of life and death and leave her there as the Witch moved closer. She would not defend or allow her magic to stop an attack if the girl could manage to attack in such a state.

Was she truly worth keeping alive, or was it simply going to be for her amusement and if she decided then to spare her or not?~ Humming as she walked closer until resting a cold hand to the girl's eyes trying to close them while grinning wide. The fun was about to begin for the witch, and the poor elf was not going to like what was to come.
