Under the Blood Moon

Cutting Reality

Shiki Pov: I felt sweat dripping down my face, waiting for Ryougi to tell me that she was ready to take over and slash this dimension. The sleeve of the kimono I had on was torn, so I ripped it off and used the cloth to wrap around my wounds.

"Here I come, Hisui!" I yelled, running at the maid before me. She gazed at me and was just laughing. She was making a fool of me The ground began to mold around my legs while the trees shot leaves as sharp as knives at me.

I barely managed to escape my binding by twisting. However, I wasn't able to block all the leaves. At least five stabbed into me while I was wincing in pain. The grass became rugged and sharp again and shot up, piercing me.

"Damn it!" I yelled as the grass pushed me upwards. A cloud appeared above me, shocking me with electricity I fell to the ground, paralyzed for a second, and I fell onto all the sharp pieces of grass.

"Are you excited anymore, Shiki?" Hisui laughed, gazing at me with her jade eyes.

I ignored the pain and ran at her again, this time dodging everything that came my way. I went to slash her but she suddenly moved back a little, just enough to be out of range.

"It's over Shiki.." she coldly stated, going to decapitate me with her sword.

"Shiki, let me take over!" Ryougi screamed. I had no other options, so I did as told, letting her handle this. She quickly reacted, blocking the blade with Nanatsu -Yoru

"So you returned to the female personality." Hisui giggled I was a bit offended that she thought I couldn't react to this and needed help all the time.

"Just call me Ryougi..." she growled, switching back to me.

"Wait, I'm not ready yet!" I shouted, immediately swinging at Hisui. She just effortlessly blocked the attack

"Pathetic..." she scoffed. Suddenly, I felt something slam into my back. It was a rock that randomly flew at me More and more rocks began to slam into my back as I coughed up blood from how hard they hit me

This was a new threat Chaos was the only other person I've fought that gave me this much trouble, and again, she definitely was stronger than him at this moment because I could at least predict his moves and I didn't want to kill Hisui.

"Your soft heart is going to be your downfall." Hisui said emotionlessly as she walked over to me, wrapping tree branches around my arms and holding me up.

"This is the end, Shiki..." she said, slashing at me. She cut into the scar on my chest again, this time much deeper

I fell to the ground as everything began to fade. I was really about to die. "I will make sure to kill you properly this time." Hisui stated, stabbing her sword downwards at my head, but my death never came.

I had enough time to stand and jump away. As soon as I was safe, I looked over to see a wire attached to her arm.

"Shiki, don't you dare lose again." Eltnum growled

"Yeah, this is your job. Don't make this the church's job!" Riesbyfe yelled

"Shiki, you are making Ryougi look weak, so get on your feet and fight like a man!" Saachin yelled I clutched my Nanatsu-Yoru, getting ready to fight her again

"Ryougi, are you ready?" I asked

"Yes I am..." she said, so I switched over to her in order to put an end to this

Ryougi immediately slashed the knife into the air as everything began to crumble all over

Hisui didn't say anything or even care that Guru Guru Hisui's world was destroyed; she just ran at me, slashing me with a barrage of slashes. I began to lose a lot of blood

Before I knew it, she hit me with a forceful palm to the face. It felt like my nose had shattered. She glared at her palm that was now painted in my blood.

"Disgusting!" She screamed, running at me and kicking me through the roof into the mansion. As I writhed there in agony, she picked up a vase, shattering it over my head before grabbing a side table and swinging it overhead, hitting me again.

"Shiki just croaked already!" She yelled, kicking me over

"Damn it, I can't beat her..." Ryougi said she used all her energy to demolish Guru Guru Hisui World. "Shiki, give me energy!" She stated this within the mindspace.

I had no clue how to do that, but I thought about it "Len, can you transfer some energy?" I asked. She nodded, telling me that I'm out as soon as I do. This is the last thing I can do

"Thank you, Shiki..." Ryougi said calmly as the energy shot through my body

"This is the end," Ryougi stated, swiping the knife in the air

"Yes, this is the end of Ryougi Shiki," Hisui stated, drawing her blade again

We stood there for about a minute just staring each other down. The first one to make their move could decide this. We could either win or lose this. We were about to decide this battle

"Saachin, I won't die here for you." Ryougi said, shooting herself forward. Hisui matched this and both of us slashed at each other, passing each other afterwards

Onee-chan, I'm sorry..." Hisui panted as blood sprayed out of her and she fell to the ground.

"There I beat you without killing you." Ryougi said she was now out of energy

"You thought it would be that easy?" Hisui laughed, standing back up and grabbing her sword

"I'll end you for my sister, you bastard!" Hisui snarled, slowly walking towards me

This was really the end Our best effort wasn't enough. Then again, I didn't know why we thought one attack would finish her. She was about to kill me when something unexpected happened.
