WORDS: 300 | TAG: @Alisa | TORN HUNTER ARMOR

Here she stood... After the gruelling battles before her, after doing everything her power to learn just who in the devils had she wound up face to face against, here she stood before an enemy she knew worryingly little about, but had to defeat nonetheless. No doubt her perfectionist, strategic minded self would favor a far more elegant, beautifully elegant battle, but there was beauty to be find in carving herself a spontaneous victory, unplanned yet no less wonderful to behold.

"So, here we are at last... I suppose no more tricks this time~?", she taunted, hefting her blade and chiding the demon for all the deception needed to bring her here, the likes of which she'd inevitably witness more of, "I'd say it's a pleasure to meet face to face at last but... We both know that would be a lie, wouldn't we?"

Before her stood the kind of foe one would think the perfect enemy for Alisa, the Crystal Demon slayer. An obviously powerful Demon, radiating a pristine, adamantine white, yet obviously foul aura, further evidencing of how the pure, radiant colors don't always equate to purity. There was a certain beauty to be found in his sculptural form, a posture and presence befitting a regal character as he laughed heartily at her words:

"Oh, you don't even know who I am, do you?", scoffed the demon, waving his crystalline arm as flashed her a toothy, menacing grin, his eyes tinged by the hateful hues of a long lived grudge. Alisa knew that look all too well, for she had worn it on her face for much of her life, still did even now, "Oh how the mighty have fallen. To think the Vollan heiress would have so casually forgotten her family's mortal enemy... This might even prove boring."

Mortal... Enemy...? Her brow twitched angrily, images of her dead mother flashing in her mind as she glared at her foe, her aura heating and chilling at the same time, a frigid craving for death the kind of which she only really experienced when the name of Black Sun sprang up.

"So you're one of them... Yet another member of Black Sun. To think they'd go as far as recruiting in the cesspools of the Abyss.", she spoke, scowling at the self assumed member of the only true name Nemesis she had ever really known.

The Dark Guild who had killed her mother, destroyed all the innocence she had at a tender age of 10... She had lived, trained and grown stronger, all in the name of killing them all... So far, pitifully, shamefully, she had only took down one, and didn't even kill him, preferring to question him for information which had so far failed to bear fruit. And now here she stood, deep inside this brimstone reeking realm, staring down a demon with crystallized, almost artificial looking arms with seething killing intent, hoisting her sword and steeling her body for the obviously grueling battle to come. Yet as it heard her words, the demon looked almost confused for the briefest of moments, scoffing as he questioned her in turn, all but dismissing any notion of this vicious, widely feared guild of thieves, with a murderous signature behind every heist:

"Black Sun you say...? So this is the kind of games you've been getting up to this generation?", with a chiding tone, the demon merely raised his brow, wagging his finger before her, "What a pointless waste of your time, little Vollan... Who knows... Maybe if you actually looked out for your real enemy, you wouldn't be staring down your death right now."

Though surprised by his reaction, even though she understood the demon most likely spoke the truth...

His aggravating arrogance made her see red at a moment's notice, inhaling deeply until her chest heaved visibly, and finally shouting with all her might and magic, spewing forth a storm of whirling crystals, ready to rend and rip apart whatever fleshy softness she encountered. She kept an eye on her enemy, aiming to observe and analyze his power as he used it to defend himself, and yet... And yet found herself gasping as she did so, baffled at how swiftly the demon shrugged off her power, a mere swipe of his hand to completely brush off one of her strongest spells, from a magic designed to kill demons. Clicking her tongue, the sculptress could only clench her fists as more and more of the demon's taunts reached her ears:

"So this is the best you could do? With all that power and hatred behind you? Earth type magic disguised as crystals? Useless.", he scoffed, a very palpable, dismissive hint of disdain that hurt Alisa more than any display of power. The magic she'd spent years training, growing and improving, shattered by the very enemies it was designed so slay, "I'd congratulate you on bringing that power back to your lineage but... This is the end of the line, little Vollan."

How concieted... But his undeniable prowess might very well mean Alisa would find herself sweating a bit before she had him understand who was really the strongest around here. Her foe looked to be in mighty fine shape, despite the state of his arms. A crystalline enemy through and through, she looked well enough in her element to feel confident regardless. Even if the demon dismissed her cystal magic, Alisa had used it for years and understood its workings inside and out. On the other hand, she herself was very much fit to fight, even if the same couldn't be said for every piece of her equipment...

Her hunter armor had taking quite the beating in the preceding battles, saving her from the bulk of the damage which came down mostly to scrapes and bruises here and there. Sure, it had taken quite a few tears and gashes, while she'd patched up the more damaged places of her body with swift, makeshift bandages, her armor was still in very good shape for one more battle, no matter how tough.

After all, she was hardly out of cards just yet.

To begin with, Alisa had started as a martial artist first and sorceress second, and as she gripped the visibly heavy black blade as easily as the average rogue might hold a dagger, nobody in their right mind could call that skill into question. If need be, she'd return to her roots at a moment's notice, and every bit of confidence in them as well:

"My, what a presumptuous claim... Care to put it to the test or will you just sit there and talk me to death?", taunted the sculptress, that self assured faint smile drawing back on her face as she stared down her foe with palpable killing intent, yet one thoroughly reigned in by that unshakeable calm.

In the end the demon simply snarled at her confidence as if no more than a mere insult, stretching his hand out and shooting his own, spiralling diamond storm at her, in every way similar to the spell Alisa herself had used, the same spell she knew all too well. But exactly because she'd seen it before, the martial arist knew exactly how to avoid it. And thus, she ran, sideways at first, steering clear from the wide cone of the diamond vortex as she picked up speed with every step. Her sword hung low on the ground, with just enough tension in her arms to hold the blade primed and ready for the swing to come, one she promptly unleashed with a sudden twist of her hips, just as she reached close enough to unleash her attack.

"All that talk and this is the best you can do~?", laughed the sculptress, easily stepping within the killing range of her demon killing edge.

Turning her leading right foot outwards, she directed all of the momentum from her run into the mighty, full powered swing, twisting her hips into the blow as her arms swung close to her body, shortening her circumference and minimizing drag, letting her retain as much of her explosive power and putting in all behind a horizontal right slash, with more than enough power to cleave even an enemy this size in twain.

"And yet you're wide open!!", the demon, however, true to his experience, shook off his bewilderment at her menacing phsyical prowess quickly enough. Grinning triumphantly, he sidestepped and claimed Alisa's flank as he thrust out with his right hand, causing his nails to shoot forward, ready to pierce her throat and finish the battle right here.

Even if her magic may be weaker than him, Alisa had thoroughly researched its uses and applications, and the moment he pointed his nails at her, she very much expected the move she'd see next... And she was ready for it, as the two telegraphed each other's moves, the edge came to the most physically apt among the two fighters, who gave no inch as her body swayed and shifted to the side, letting the piercing nails breeze past her as they did little more than graze and nick at her long, dark hair:

"That's my line", quipped the sculptress, thrusting in with her rear foot, propelling herself forward and swiftly changing the angle of attack, from a diagonal slash to a forward thrust with the butt of the weapon. Her retaliation swift and spirited, she hid her true intentions behind a seemingly ill concieved attack, baiting out her foe's retaliation to expose a real opening to exploit.

Keeping your eyes on your enemy's sword is easy, and being wary of the cutting edge is easier still. The real challenge, however, lies in acknowledging every inch of the sword as a deadly weapon to be avoided.

Even ageless foes like that demon, no, perhaps ageless foes more than any of them have clearly lost their ability to adapt to tactics they've simply not faced enough before, and so it was when what finally struck him in the chest was not a blade, but the equally hard pommel, with all the weight of a greatsword and warrior's strike behind it.

"Gaah!!!", crying out as an eerie crack echoed through the crystalline walls of the cave, the demon cried out in staggering pain as Alisa's blow hit home, grasping at his chest as he felt the wind kocked out of him, "Y-You... Cheeky little!!"

Too slow. Against a staggered, unbalanced enemy, even a seemingly slow weapon like Yoru became lightning fast in the hands of an experienced warrior, will all that momentum behind her in the first place:

"CHAAAAAAAI!!!", with a defeaning, booming battlecry that all but shattered the crystals in the creature's arm, Alisa's rear foot slid towards the front, following up her motion with a donwards cleave, stepping forth as her foe retreated, making him cry out in pain as her sword came down from his shoulder down his leg, all but cutting him in half as she definitely felt her blade hit home. And yet, "Tch..."

Guess it wouldn't be so easy in the end. For all his gall in trying to face here in melee, the demon wasn't so foolhardy as to let himself get done in under such a disadvantageous matchup. Glimmering with radiant, yet violently cracked crystal, the area over his chest looked mostly unharmed.

Though Alisa had more than enough strength to rip through the visibly hardy defense, it left her with barely little power left to actually wound the softer tissue behind it, leaving barely even more than a papercut in her wake.

"Hahaha...! So you made up for your useless magic by training your body? How original...!", clamored the crystal demon, standing his ground even as Alisa cried out and charged at him again, dashing and sidestepping his attacks, meeting him in melee range at every turn, while her prideful enemy showed little interest in backing down from her challenge.

But blow for blow, Alisa was in no way inferior to this demon, crystal or not. As far as raw physical power was concerned, she had the edge in every concievable way, speed, strength and toughness. Though the demon seemed all too eager to match her at every turn, Alisa's knowing smirk unyielding: So long as she held firm in her strategy seeking to keep the battle close and personal, she could win.

With every blow traded, her enemy learned how to best apply his magic to ward off against the worst of her hits, while even now Alisa's own magic did little to even wound him. The light component she always relied on against demons was useless against one who had mastered the art of redirecting it with his crystals, and her earth element was simply not enough to finish the job by itself.

The longer the battle kept going without a victor, the more the those shattering sounds echoed through the room... The less of an effect Alisa's fitness really had as her smile slowly faded, and a victorious grin drew on his face. Though he had struggled to peel away from her for the better part of an hour, one strong hit from Alisa sent him staggering quite a few steps back...

"...But in the end...", he sensed her mistake quickly enough, and to her credit, so did she. Though merely understanding it didn't quite suffice as she saw the demon clenching his entire body, flaring out his aura, channeling it inside him, focusing, refining, concentrating. Until finally, with a triumphant cry, he swung his arms out unleashed it all in a glorious explosion of piercing crystalline shrapnel, "You're just a one trick pony!"

Far from just claiming victory outright, Alisa knew his clamouring had just the faintest, yet no less painful hint of truth. The moment she stood up against a foe she couldn't beat with crystals, a foe with more experience than her with just enough fitness not to be completely overwhelmed in melee... Her chances were grim to begin with, and taking this hit left her a hell of a lot worse for wear, with chances to match.

"Ufufu~...", even now she couldn't help but laugh, gritting her teeth and hoisting her damaged sword. Battered and bloodied, she was thankful for her armor to take the full brunt of the hit and yet quite a few shrapnel dug deep into her flesh, shooting sharp pain through her whole body with every motion, "You flatter yourself Demon... One trick... Is more than enough for you."

Strength, confidence, pride in one's power... Alisa had them all, and even now her mind stood hard at work. So long as she still drew breath, she hadn't lost yet. Victory was within reach, no matter how difficult it may turn out. She met the demon's predatory gaze with a relentless fire in her eyes, and yet in the creature's eyes, he had all but won:

"That's some pride you have there, human!", scoffed the demon, laughing heartily as if the huntress before him was little more than a barely entertaining joke, "You get that from your ancestor, certainly... But...", and without warning, he charged, "That's about it!"

Like he had a point to prove, the crystal demon finally took the offensive, aiming to seize control of the fight. Covering his advance with an onslaught of crystals, exploiting Alisa's moment of weakness as he forced her to slash them all to ribbons, he took her flank with relative ease, protuding a quartet of crystalline spikes from his body. She could defend herself from them, raising one of her crystalline barriers in their path... She'd already discovered her defensive magic worked relatively well, more than enough to give it a try. But the demon's offensive power far outweighted her barrier's, forcing the sculptress to swing her sword defensively before taking aim at the demon with a follow-up... All in vain:

"So this is what the great Vollan line degenerated into?", chided the demon, cruelly retaliating with a vicious knee to the gut, enough to make even the resilient Alisa keel over in pain, coughing out blood as the demonic beast sent her flying into a pillar, shattering it and the demon trapped within with a triumphant laughter, "How pitiful!! You never heard about it have you? How your ancestor took his useless Ice magic and took it to the next level, mastering Crystals in a hopeless attempt to defeat me. And what do you have?"

She'd already realized the disadvantage this matchup put her in, and kept fighting regardless. If the White Empress of Blue Pegasus couldn't take this Crystal Demon, then who might? Who would keep it out of Earthland when it decided to invade once more? But as more and more hits broke through, Alisa's exhaustion from the earlier fights began steadily catching up to her, taking its toll at the worst possible moment. She got up again and again, but after a while the demon stopped bothering to even run up to her and attack.

He simply walked up to her, every time, grumbling insults as he shrugged off her increasingly weak attempts to get back on her feet and reliate... Until the point where he could simply pick up her up on his own voilition. After battling for what felt like hours, even a skilled marathon runner was nearing her limits... Gritting her teeth as he lifted her by the hair, Alisa mustered up what remained of her energy, thrusting out with both hands, striking out at the demon's arm with both hands, one striking his wrist with the other behind his elbow. In any other time, against any other enemy, such an attack would have broken her enemy's arm

"Useless!", roared the demon, countering with a vicious uppercut to the gut that made her eyes to shoot wide, gasping as the hit shook her whole body with sharp, toe curling pain. A direct hit like that was ultimately impossible for a tired fighter to block with abdominal strength alone, and even then her foe wasted no time adding insult to injury, "You have no cards left up your sleeve little Vollan!! Not that you ever stood a chance to begin with, crystals or not."

Her Crystals... Her family's power... Even now she clicked her tongue as she heard it so boldly insulted, spitting the blood on her foe as she glared viciously at him, to which he merely scoffed, shrugging off every provocation.

"Your ancestor put up much more of a fight, you know...", he taunted in return, grinning as he recounted, "That battle... I took her arm, but she still managed to claw her way to survival. She could have very well killed me, but luck it appears, was on my side... But against you... I won't even need luck."

What an idiot she was... She'd spent her life chasing after her father's footsteps, even though she knew fully well where they'd lead...

Even in her best days, all she could do was follow the writings in his journal, the heirlooms she'd left her, all the teachings he'd left behind not for her specifically, but as mere scraps, leftovers of a knowledge all but lost. How much time had she spent chasing it...? How much time wasted on hopeless trails...

"You will die in despair, along with your worthless pride!", laughing maliciously, the demon's grip on her hair soon produced a telltale crackling sound Alisa knew all too well, one she'd stood on the opposite end of one too many times. The irony of it all was certainly not lost on her, that she was about to fall to the same technique she inflicted on her foes, and be turned into a lump of crystal herself. Almost desperately, she fired her own crystallizing pulse at the demon's arm, but all for naught... In the end he merely shrugged it off, grinning as his infectious crystal reached frighteningly close to her head, "Die cursing your fate for being born to the filthy line who dared oppose Adamel, Prince of Diamond!!"

Indeed she would die here... No, not die, not even that... She'd be stuck in another statue just like all the demons she'd run into thus far, conscious but immobile, frozen in time as she became yet another grisly trophy in Adamel's collection. The mere thought made her grit her teeth, a cold, shiver of dread shooting down her spine as she felt that crystallizing touch crackling down her long, silky black hair.

She couldn't...

"Sofia... Uncle... Everyone in the guild...", one by one all those faces flashed before her eyes, all the people she'd promised to come back to, at different places, in different times. If she didn't do anything... Nothing... Then... All this power she cultivated... Did she really waste all that time? Impossible, she had to do something... Anything!!

"HAAAAA!!", with a bellowing battlecry, Alisa fought off the pain of being dangled by the hair, swinging her arms out for leverage and propelling herself into a quick spin. Holding one arm out above her, she mustered a hefty amount of her remaining magic power to produce her piercing crystal blade, slashing across her hair and even stretching out further to slash the Crystal Demon Prince atop the eyes, "Worthless pride you say...? Nothing worthless about it. Absolutely nothing."

In the heat of battle, she barely realized how her cracked bracelet had started glowing, invigorating her waning power in a way she herself scarcely comprehended... Something resonated deep within the sculptress' body, that same pull she felt guiding her through the citadel, until a searing, throbbing pain overtook her whole arm, until that same crystalline mark she saw before appeared on her skin once more. The demon certainly did, however, baffled and staggered, visibly winded from the fruitless exertion of its power:

"W-what?!? That blade!!! How did it?!", indeed something had changed and Adamel had every reason to feel startled. For the first time in this fight, one of Alisa's spells had done actual damage, the pure, refined crystal slicing through his own defenses.

His words, however, yet resonated with her... No matter how cruel the enemy, Alisa acknowledged her faults in the doggedness with which she pursued her lineage without every bothering to understand where it came from. Indeed in her desire to absorb all knowledge - to take up what was useful and discard the useless - she spared far too little time questioning where that power came from, for what purpose had it been created. But she was not her father, or grandfather, or any ancestor before her:

"What do you know of pride?", she shot back, walking up, rolling each wrist in her hands, all but thinking out loud, "I suppose you were right, on some level... I'm nothing like my ancestor ever was... She was her own woman, somebody I know awfully little of but, things are what they are. And if she had a demon like you hunting after her for generations... She must have been a great woman.", she mused, rubbing her bruised head as she inspected her surroundings...

Her sword had been broken, but in its place, she had a cracked, glimmering bracelet on her arm, the demon slaying brand all but covering her whole right arm like a sleeve. Her magic was drawing out every last bit of mana she had left, and regardless of that, Alisa couldn't help but ramble, thinking out loud mostly to herself:

"But that doesn't really matter at all, does it? She was her own woman, just as I am, a woman who made a promise to someone...", battered and bruised she may be, her recovered magic gave Alisa all the edge she ever needed, and before long she'd launched yet another attack, rushing her foe down from the flank, deflecting his crystal blade with her bracelet. Her eyes narrowed, every sense primed on her foe like a tigress with her eyes on her prey, Alisa reacted on pure reflex as she turned her wrist and grabbed the blade, letting her crystallizing Mana flow through it and swiftly turning the man's arm into a beautifully useless lump, following up with a smooth palm strike with her other hand, shattering it instantly, "A promise to come back from this filthy, foul smelling pit."

Then and only then did her eyes properly shift back to her dazed, demonic foe, the self titled prince of Diamond, very soon to become living proof of how diamond was very much breakable... By a flawless, far stronger diamond:

"I guess a half dead mongrel like you could never understand the power it holds, but in the end, I can only thank you."

To follow her own path... She'd never really understood the meaning of those words, despite clamoring about them time after time like a hipocryte... But now... She'd never forget her path again, or whose arms that path would lead her into.

That's right... Even Alisa herself didn't understand it at first... The things that made her different from her ancestor, even her father before her. They had all been lone, aloof hunters, just as she had in the past. After all this, Alisa still couldn't help but see herself as such. But she was no longer that girl. Her pride and will had not changed, she'd merely opened her eyes and realized. She no longer hunted for revenge, or even for its own sake. The pride she had in her people all around her, her desire to protect them and her promises to them...

"Thank ME?! Don't get cocky, you worthless brat!!", once more his aura swelled and spiked, as the aggravated demon saw no natural conclusion but to finish her as swiftly and assertively as he possibly could.

And for once, the two could play that game... She no longer had a sword of her own to swing at her foe, and yet... Neither did her opponent now did he~..? As he created his own crystalline sword, Alisa charged in and did much of the same, tapping her heel as she suddenly accelerated into the wild, vicious swing, tapping her foe's wrist as she ducked, deflecting his blow away from her, thrusting her crystallized left fist out, clenching it at the last moment right before impact, unleashing her full force into one single punch, twisting her hips into the blow as she instinctively realized a whole other application to one of her signature spells:

"Metsuaku Ougi... Varjradeha...!!", crying out as she pumped a huge chunk of her magic power into her punch, Alisa turned her whole weight into the blow, overwhelming her foe's defenses in that sudden, explosive attack.

Even a Demon as strong as Adamel couldn't help but reel from that unyielding, explosive, ferocious attack, his outer shell cracking as her crystallizing pulse ravaged his whole body, cracking, damaging a huge chunk of his chest and part of his chest as he could only growl and roar in fury.

"Y-You... You little...!!", His words trailing off into a furious roar as he backed away from her attack, gripping at his chest in pain, he took a deep breath in preparation before unleashing the very same Demonic roar attack he'd spewed forth during their first trade.

But this time... This time Alisa was ready for it. Backing off in turned, she exhaled as the attack came for her, only for her eyes widen as shs took a deep breath and inhaled deeply of her foe's attack, just as she'd attempted last time... Only it was different this time. Now more than ever she understood her ancestor and what she'd done to seal Adamel away. She could feel it resonate through her whole body, pulsing through her, igniting a power she never even knew she had... The same power that sealed her enemy within her... Whose power was it originally...? It mattered little, especially when she was the one to unlock it and wield it as her own for the first time in ages. As she inhaled her foe's attack, she felt none of the searing, sizzling pain she felt last time when she went toe to toe against his incarnation:

"Crystal Demon's.... RAGE!!!"

She had only one shot... As she weakened her foe from her earlier attack, finally striking him with magic he could not defend against... As the demon wailed in pain, unable to protect himself from her attack, it was only a matter of time... She could feel it... Alisa fully understood how her ancestor sacrificed her life to seal her foe away with him, but the brilliant side of it was using her enemy's own magic power to fuel the seal by binding the two together for all eternity...

CRACK...!

...And nothing quite evidenced her success as the resounding, reverberating crack echoing through the grand crystalline hall, tearing through the root of the citadel as her attack made contact with her enemy's...

So long as Adamel lived... He could not break free from his prison... And the moment he died... The prison would crumble away into dust, with Alisa inside if she happened to be trapped inside it. But the sculptress didn't stop, pressing her advantage, dodging the falling debris, chipping away at her relentless enemy, hit by hit, until the point where she found herself forced to dodge the falling crustalline shrapnel as the dome collapsed on top of them, killing her demonic foe unceremoniously as teh huntress had no choice but to peel away:

"Tch...!!", no matter how hard she tried to, she couldn't... Going any further in a desperate attempt to confirm the kill would inevitably result in her own death, and whatever knowledge she gained would follow her to the grave. Alisa knew this, and yet...

...It took her dodging a very threatening, menacing lump of crystal falling over her head before she decided she had to retreat... Those very same instincts that once guided her throughout the citadel - that she knew now to belong to the same ancestor whose life went into the now crumbling fortress - to drive her away at every step, almost a silent, aching plea that she abandoned her dying enemy lest she become a part of his tomb. At that moment, the sculptress turned away, pivoting one one heel... And she just ran... As far as her feet could carry her, past the road she came through, gripping the broken hilt of her sword, about as much of it as she could carry along with her. She didn't meet that much resistance, most of the demons, devoid of their master, barely posed even a smidge of resistance, and the few who did, Alisa could vanquish with a single, mid run attack:

"It is done...", and yet, she didn't particularly feel any significant sense of satisfaction in the wake, having defeated a foe she never even knew she had up until the moment she came up against him...

But now... She could actually, finally focus on getting herself out of here with every fiber of her being... Just how long had she wasted there...? She couldn't even know. She read about how hours in the Abyss meant only minutes out in the real world... But how could she know for sure until she got there?

"Sofia... Please be alright..."
