Mind over Matter (Relo'Quath)

[Menboku Rakuten Eiki]

It was dark out, most people were asleep at this time. However, the half-demon was still up, and still training. He'd grown tired in the past few hours of his training, and his sword fell from his hands. He stumbled back a bit, and let himself land on a large boulder, using it as support to kep himself up. He was panting, and sweat was beading down his forehead, neck, chest, back, and arms. His bangs fell over his eyes, and he shut them tightly. Damn it, I need to continue or else I'll never be able to guard her! He punched the boulder with his right hand, and pushed himself off of the boulder, stumbling a bit. He reached for his sword, and slowly lifted it into both hands. I have to..

[Relo'Quath]

"Have to what?"

If Eiki was smart enough to move his eyes up, he'd see the demon floating in the middle of the air. This wasn't magic, it was natural ability. He could fly, but not using those useless wings of his. It was a perspective thing.

Of course, by now we know what Relo'Quath looked like, quite demonic, and unique. He was a scary one, that was for sure, and a bit older than this fellow. But that wasn't really relative to the situation. What was relative to the situation, was that the half blood was sweating like a bison, and was training all by his lonesome, just tiring himself out.

"Half-Blood, are you stupid?"

[Menboku Rakuten Eiki]

Eiki looked upward, at the demon that had just spoken to him. He thrust the blade of his sword into the ground, and released his hold on it. His fingers were sore from holding it so long, but it's what he gets, anyway. "I have to protect someone.." Eiki said in reply to the guy's question, not answering the second one. The weight of his sword would help make him stronger, seeing as he was rather weak in his normal state. He finally stopped breathing so heavily, and for some reason, he wasn't so tired anymore. He stretched his arms a little bit, and than placed his attention on the full-blood demon again.

"What do you want?"

[Relo'Quath]

"Nice sword, mine is cooler. Tier, Magmoron, Vattur'Gha."

He summoned his sword, the Maimer blade. A single edged longsword, 33 inches long. The back side was extremely dangerous however, many sharp teeth lined it's back, and ran along tracks like a hedge cutter. Making the weapon quite powerful, and ridiculous. Just like himself. A ridiculous thing. He merely thought a command to the sword, and it's back edge started up, the motors whirring, the teeth chattering together.

"How about a little fight?"

He wasn't playing dumb right now. That would take place later, when he began to toy with his opponent. Half-Bloods weren't bad, and they weren't good, they were mere halves of each. Honestly, he didn't care much for many people, or many demons to boot. He was always lusting for knowledge and power however, and that was why this was going to happen.

[Menboku Rakuten Eiki]

Eiki scoffed, and sighed. He gripped the handle of his sword, which didn't seem so heavy anymore, and pointed toward the full-blooded demon. "Alright," he grinned. "But I am no longer strong enough to go to my demon state.." More training, more tiring, but I'll become stronger. He stepped back a few times, and leaped onto a boulder behind him, his right knee on the boulder, and his left knee facing upward. His arms were pulled back, along with the sword, and he was now in his fighting stance. The sweat that was running down his forehead was gone, for some reason, and he felt stronger, but too tired to go all out.

"So, will you strike first, or shall I?"

[Relo'Quath]

"You're like an open book. More, and More, And more training will not make you stronger. It's the quality of the training. You half-bloods are interesting."

He floated his way over to a tree, and then rested on it's branch, his free arm leaning against the trunk of the tree. It was coniferous, needle leaves. But that wasn't important, that just filled his nostrils with that pine scent. The Half Blood wanted to fight, and agreed, so be it.

"Antorbok, Kilitath, Neth'Norath."

The Psychaotic assault. The gargantuan half-blood would instantly feel his mind being assaulted, like a hot pike being rammed through his skull. It wouldn't be pleasant. In fact, it would be an excruciatingly painful process, he'd feel his mind being violated, his memories being read, his knowledge being absorbed. This was Sin in the dirtiest way, violating one's mind is horrible.

This young one has a lot of will, and a lot of heart.

"I wonder, how long will you last like this. If you can lay one finger on me, while your mind is being assaulted like this, then you win."

Relo'Quath wouldn't let up on the Psychaotic assault however. It was dirty, underhanded, and all around effective. Assaulting the mind is the most effective way of breaking your opponent. Their body will heal, their mind might not.

[Menboku Rakuten Eiki]

Eiki's eyes widened, and once again sweat was beading down his forehead. He began to grit his teeth, and his arms began to shake slightly. Damn, so this is how you fight, is it? Eiki turned slowly, signs of his uneasyness could be seen in how unsteady his sword looked. You're.. what are you doing?! Eiki dropped his sword, and fell off of the boulder he was on, landing on his back. He felt a stinging sensation, he felt as if he was being read like a book, and he saw everything he didn't want to remember. He tried to shut the pain out, and jumped back onto his feet, but he stumbled, hitting his chin on the boulder.

He pushed himself up with his right arm, and using the boulder as a ramp, sort of, and kicked off of it, attempting to reach the his opponent, but just as he prepared to jump, he let his guard down, and fell to the ground once again. He shut his eyes, and pushed off of the ground once more, and this time, he seemed a little steadier than the last time he stood up. He placed his left foot on the boulder and threw himself up once again, pulling his arm back to punch at the guy.

[Relo'Quath]

The problem with an air assault against a stationary target, is that the target can move, and you'll remain on the same trajectory. His sword had already been drawn. Relo'Quath moved down the branch to the left, and held the sword out to the right, to meet the fist, and maybe scratch the male's face as he came at him. The backside was facing the male.

The trigger was pulled.

The mechanisms whirred to life.

It was entirely predictable but very unavoidable, thanks to the fact that Eiki was in the air, and could not change his trajectory. If Eiki hit the backside of that weapon, he'd need some serious medical help. As the weapon is hard enough to remove from a body once it's inside, it's bloodlust is insatiable.

[Menboku Rakuten Eiki]

Ow..

Impact was made, and my vision blurred. A cut appeared on Eiki's forehead as he fell to the grassy floor. He had gritted his teeth, and blood ran down his nose, and soon after, down his cheeks. The droplets fell to the grass below him, and he chuckled, slightly.

"You.. you win.."

Well, normally, he wouldn't give up so easy, but Eiki was in a lot of pain.. This guy knew what he was doing, whether Eiki wanted to admit it or not, and he'd lost. He attempted to get up, realizing just how pathetic he may have seemed from losing so quickly.. Oh well?
