95 A Lovers Quarrel

He looked at his surroundings only to find Alex's battered and unconscious body on the ground missing one leg and one arm along with a few fingers. Technically speaking he was in much better shape than Jayden but without demon-like regeneration, Moby knew that he would no doubt not live for long. 

He slowly let go of Jayden's unconscious body, tears still rushing down his face before setting his sights on the still recovering Natalia in the distance with more anger and rage than he ever felt before in his entire life. 

"NATALIA XANE!! I'LL FUCKING TURN YOU TO SHREDS!!!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, activating his "Eyes of Sin" before dashing towards her at top speed causing large cracks in the wake of his every step.

'What the fuck was that! It felt like I was struck by a meteorite, Natalia thought, cracking her jaw back into place before trying to stand up to see what had just happened.

However, before she got the chance to fully stand up, she felt someone's large, purple, burning, iron grasp grab her head like it was a basketball, smashing her face on the ground before dragging it on the hard yet muddy terrain as they sprinted before continuously smashing it through multiple rocks and trees in quick succession. She also felt that a small portion of her mana was being sucked out of her body but it was so little that she could barely tell if she was imagining things.

As Natalia's face was being smashed, she tried to take a peek at her sudden attacker with little to no result. All she knew about her assailant was that they were someone that really liked and cared about Jayden Griffith due to them screaming about staying away from their Jayden so she immediately assumed that they were not a good person.

Due to her face being burned, grabbed, and smashed in the ground, she was unable to blink out. So she opted to extend her retracted blades straight into the chest of her assailant, making him cough up blood on her face before he kicked her away in the stomach with incredible force, blowing her away and making her retract her blade from his body. 

Her attacker did not deal much damage to her. It was almost like his main goal was to move her elsewhere instead of trying to deal damage which was exactly what Moby was going for. He wanted to take the battle elsewhere so that Natalia doesn't try any underhanded tactics such as killing or taking Jayden hostage in the middle of the fight.

"Why do you all always attack my beautiful face! Are you all just jealous or something?? Why am I so unlucky! All I wanted to do was to kill Jayden Griffith and I got an entire mob against me! Now what kind of bit-" Natalia said in annoyance before biting her tongue in regret as soon as she saw who she was talking to. 

"M-m-m-m-Moby!? What are you doing here... Didn't I tell you to wait in the cave until I got back honey?" Natalia's tone immediately shifted into a much kinder and almost motherly tone.

Moby just ignored Natalia's words, demon flashing towards her in quick succession. He had no time for chit chat while his friend and his crush were both dying and bleeding out on the ground and for a future plan that he had. 

He infused his blade with demon energy before slashing the air creating waves of slash-like pure demon energy projectiles that were headed in Natalia's direction making her naturally dodge a few while blinking to dodge the others when they got too close.

When Moby noticed that Natalia had used 3 blinks in one quick succession, he demon flashed into close quarters, slashing towards Natalia's chest with all his might. 

However, when he expected to slash right through her armour dealing critical damage, he hit nothing but air, making him frantically look around in front of him with anger and impatience to find her whereabouts. 

"Moby… Why do you look so mad… Are you angry at me for some reason?" He felt a hand go on his shoulder before he heard a voice coming from behind him. 

Moby immediately turned around, slashing right behind him only to hit nothing but air once more. 

"Moby dear! Do you not recognize me at all due to all this darkness? Are your purple night-vision eyes broken? It's me… Natalia… Your one and only love!" She said, popping up right beside him, softly caressing his cheeks with her metal gloves prompting Moby to slash at her once more only for her to blink away once more. 

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" Moby screamed, predicting where she was going to reappear due to his small amount of future sight, slashing at her forcing Natalia to block with her blade. 

Then, as their blades clashed, Moby ducked down under her arm, infusing his fists with pure demon energy and punching her straight in the liver, causing slightly more cracks to form in her previously banged-up armour. 

She jumped away from Moby before blinking away as soon as she could before vomiting a little on the ground, holding her liver in pain. 

"Huh!! That fucking hurts! From when were you that strong! You don't treat your future wife like this! I will have to teach you a lesson in manners!!" Natalia roared in anger blinking towards the battle-ready Moby.

As Moby and Natalia clashed blades, it became completely apparent who had the upper hand in the fight. Even with his future sight, Moby was unable to completely predict Natalia's blink pattern, especially since he now knew that she was able to use 4 blinks. And, it seemed like Natalia had stopped playing around and holding back and began taking the fight seriously as her anger completely overwhelmed her senses, making Moby barely struggle to keep up with her.

"Didn't you tell me that you loved me! Why are you attacking me all of a sudden!!" She screamed, punching Moby in the face. 

"Were you just lying to me!" She shrieked, kneeing him in the stomach. 

"And what was that about "Get away from my Jayden Griffith" Do you actually like her or something!" She roared tripping him before kicking him high up in the air. 

"Were you only pretending to like me or something!" She bellowed, jumping up behind him, punching him in the side as he attempted to triple jump to dodge. 

"Were you just! Playing with my emotions!" She screamed, blinking and hitting him in the ribs. 

"Tell me!" She roared punching him in the face 

"Tell me!" She screamed, slashing him in the chest. 

"TELL ME!!!" She roared, blinking from above him, with her fists clasped together, hitting him in him in the back, forcing him to drop down towards the ground like a meteorite before landing on the ground with an outstanding impact. 

"Sorry if I have been too hard on you my dear… I know that we all make mistakes…"

"And luckily for you, I am a very forgiving partner! All I will do now is teach you a quick lesson… Maybe even cripple you until you learn how to properly use your powers and appreciate my love for you… Girls like Jayden Griffith and Abby Ried are just nothing more than bad influences to you! See what they did to you! They corrupted your sweet little innocent mind into hating and turning against me! Your one and only true love! That is unforgivable! Don't worry! I am doing this for your own good!" 

"You will thank me in future and grow to appreciate what I have done for you once they are dead! I just know it!" 

"But for now I must teach you a little lesson… Trust me, it pains me to hurt you but this is for your own good…" She said in an ominous, psychotic voice, licking Moby's blood splatters that were on her face with her long, serpent-like tongue, walking towards the small crater and dust cloud where Moby was. 

Then as she neared the edge of the crater, a bright black, purple and red light shined seemingly out of nowhere, blowing away all the dust in its path. The ground started to tremble like it was being hit by an earthquake as sudden cracks began to form in the ground beneath her feet. Abrupt lightning strikes began falling from the sky left and right, crashing on the ground creating craters and setting some trees on fire in their wake.

In the small crater where Moby once stood laid a man with a raging aura of black, purple and red surrounding his entire body. His hair was a perfect mix of black and red. Under his eyes were black shadowy lines that looked almost alive and had a slight glow to them. Rips in his equipment showed similar lines and runic patterns that extended throughout his entire body. Small, scaly, pointy black horns were visible on his head that looked almost like a mixture of dragon and devil horns. 

"I've already said this once but, can you please just shut the fuck up for 1 second!!" Moby screamed from the bottom of the crater with unbridled anger and annoyance.
