For some reason, staring down that godly storm as the clouds spun like a whirlpool into that ominous singularity, even as his heart pounded, he wasn't afraid. Excitement swirled in his body, adrenaline pumped through his veins as he found himself wishing to confront it head-on.
'When I assimilate an aspect of somebody, I believe I inherit more than just a power from them...It's against everything I would've done, but for some reason–I really want to face this guy. I want to test myself, that's from Raven–I hate the idea of that creepy bastard influencing me, but this feeling in my chest, wanting to fight for my world, for humanity–that's you, Damian.
A twisted unison of the slayer and the warrior–it sure creates a reckless desire to fight with all I've got,' the thought surfaced with the briefest of smiles.
Confronting a full-fledged god in a faraway world, placing his life on the line, experimenting with his supernatural powers–all of it served to ignite his heart with a wild drum.
["Life has never been more exciting than this moment."]
Around the swirl of the fire of the underworld, he accompanied them with a burst of the ethereal blaze of white-and-emerald, bringing together hot and cold.
["Wraith Flame"] [Mana: -100] [1300/4000]
Around his daggers, torrenting around the spot he stood, the colorful flames roared in unison as he kept his eyes locked on his enemy, waiting for the exact moment to unleash it all.

["Multitask"]
He compartmentalized his focus, splitting it into a dozen, separate, yet connected functions that each individually watched the different parts of the God of Heroes. It had to be in the very same instant; not a thousandth of a second sooner nor later–it had to be perfect.
A bead of sweat trickled right over his eyes, sliding against his pupil, yet he did not blink; he did not dare to draw a breath in that moment, watching the calamitous storm condense itself before–
There was a twitch of Sirius' eyebrow, a slight flick of his finger as the singularity pulsated. Find exclusive stories on m_v l|e-novelhall.net
The only trigger needed was that, setting the assassin forth–
["Blink Slash"] [2:59]
He carried with him the unison of burning and freezing flames, engulfing his daggers as he warped across the sky with a trail of fire behind him like a fleeting comet. Though he set himself straight for the God of Heroes, he was intercepted in that same instant–
From the condensed storm held between Sirius' hands, a grand release of lightning shot out. Of countless intertwined lightning bolts, infused into a single force, it resembled a bright-purple beam of eradication.
The entirety of the assassin's vision was filled by the calamitous light, soaring straight through it with his daggers cutting into it. With the fused flames clashing against the condensed lightning, it was a desperate clash for Finn.
"Nngh!--" He struggled, pushing against it with his daggers to the best of his ability.
It was a combination of abilities tailor-made to counteract the overwhelming force of the God of Heroes' lightning; the infusion of roaring flames around his daggers allowed the anti-magic properties of the blades to extend to the blaze.
"Just worry about yourself," Finn dismissed with a clear threat, raising his weapons as he squeezed the handles of his daggers with his frostbitten hands. "--I'm feeling better than ever right now."

From the main chamber of the palace, the distant echoes of thunder frequently were heard amidst the world's rumblings.
As daunting as it sounded, there was no choice for the knight and spellblade but to focus on the overwhelming foe in front of them.
"Hff–" Jasper breathed out as the impact of one of the massive blades struck his shield, bringing him to slide back several meters.
In the same moment, Charlotte dashed across the length of the chamber as a fleeting line of silver light, bouncing from wall-to-wall with astounding speed in hopes of throwing the imposing figure's senses off.
["Moonlight Carving"]
From the right, she dashed in with blinding speed, going for a slice aimed right for the hip of the massive warrior. As she approached, she noticed something peculiar about the man who remained still; the gallant knight drew in a lofty breath, bringing his cheeks to puff up.
"Rrrroooooagh!"
–The shout that released from the man's mouth caused the entirety of the palace to tremble, forcing Charlotte to stop in her tracks to quickly cover her ears. Jasper was left wincing as the inhuman yell rattled his helmet.
"Surely you did not believe this strength would suffice in overcoming me," the man questioned as his shout still echoed through the rooms of the keep.
[BOSS Identified: "Godfrey, The Exonerated Knight of The Golden Sky"] [Level: 60]
Again, another rush came from the two, though it was quickly intercepted by a stomp of Godfrey's foot. The simple motion from the mighty knight struck the floor with a tremendous force, bringing a shock wave to push against the challengers.
Just as they each caught themselves, Godfrey delivered another stomp to the ground–THWOOM.
Once again, Jasper and Charlotte found their balance compromised by the resulting force, bringing the knight to act quickly.
He quickly raised his sword as a dozen spheres of light rose up into the air before pointing his blade at the figure in golden armor, "--Go!" Jasper commanded.
["Holy Hunt"]
The balls of radiance shot across the chamber, seeking Godfrey with swift impunity, though they were met halfway by the gallant warrior. With roaring laughter, enthralled by the battle, Godfrey swept his blades through the incoming projectiles, slicing through the light.
Remnants of the radiant hunt scattered, exploding on impact against the moonstone chamber.
"Insignifiant! Attacks of that caliber will serve only to put me to sleep!" Godfrey egged on.
