Sliding against the ground, Hina dodged the two fast-moving shadow spears that were aimed at her.
Once she was on her feet, she used the ice sword she was holding to split a charging spear in two.
Panting, Hina looked up at the shadow, whose hand was aimed at her with multiple gigantic shadow spears behind him.
"Come on… you're almost there." She said to herself as she glimpsed at the gate before she walked toward the shadow.
Her walk slowly started to run as she yelled while deflecting as many spears as she could with her sword.
When the shadow noticed she was getting closer, he landed on the ground which caused a boom while dark spikes erected and spread from the ground.
It was unexpected so Hina was unable to dodge the rush of shadow spikes, she placed her two swords in front of her to guard herself against the attack.
It was effective for a while until some of the spikes started piercing her open spots, her legs, fingers, and shoulder were all punctured by the spikes.
Hina fell to the ground on her knees as she watched her blood drip from the wounds, "Damn." She grunted as the pain started to kick in.
Her healing abilities were not working, in fact, most of her powers weren't working because of the dream world she was in.
But even that couldn't save her from the pain she was feeling, once she was no longer able to hold it in, both her sword fell from her hand as the numbness started to spread around her arms.
Her eyes immediately swayed to the shadow that was walking slowly to her position, she didn't bother to move, and even if she wanted to, she couldn't.
Hina was on her knees with both her hands and feet asleep while the Shadow approached her with dark energy surrounding him.
"I can spare you, all you have to do is stay here, shouldn't that be enough?" The shadow asked in a sad tone.
Hina gave out a weak smile at the question, "You think… I'm defeated?" She asked while panting from the loss of blood, "I'm not… I told you, didn't I? I'm going back no matter what,".
"And what if you were to die here? that ideal goes out the window," The shadow asserted.
"If that happens, then I was never worthy to stand by his side, that side, it won't ever happen." Hina responded.
She slowly stood to her feet with the injuries on her body still leaking blood, but she didn't pay any mind to it.
Hina picked up both her elemental swords and pointed at the shadow, "You can stand aside or I force my way through!" She shouted.
The shadow was silent for a couple of seconds before a long shadow spear appeared in his hand.
"Then I won't hold back." The shadow informed.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "Bring it on.." Hina smiled before taking a fighting stance with both her swords releasing their elements.
They stared at each other for a while, with both of them getting ready to attack as soon as the other made the move.
Boom,
Clank!
They both charged in, passing this first attack with a block, both their weapons clashed against each other.
A loud boom followed right after, with the earth cracking and falling apart from the immense force the clash gave out.
Wasting no time, Hina took advantage of her double-wielding blade, using her ice sword to block the Shadow's spear. She sought to strike with her fire blade while he was busy blocking her ice sword.
With a raging scream, Hina tightened her grip on the fire sword and struck it down at the shadow.
The shadow was not willing to go down that easily, so it summoned spikes to erect from the ground and pierce Hina's arm, ceasing her attack at mid point.
She desperately tried to hold down her scream, about five different spikes were punctured in her arm while she was still blocking the Shadow's spear with her other sword.
The shadow landed a punch to Hina's face with his other hand which sent her flying and crashing to the ground.
Hina sought to get to her feet but instead began coughing out blood, she used her hand to cover her mouth as the blood began leak from her open spaces in her palm.
Once she was done, she stood up on her feet with the side of her cheek painted in her own blood.
She charged In again but this time she was only holding her ice sword, Hina kept moving left and right, attacking the shadow from different directions but it still blocked it.
'Why am I fighting so much, this fight has been completely one-sided from the start, my powers… So why am I still fighting?' Hina questioned herself while her attack patterns started getting sharper for the shadow to deflect with ease.
'is it? Is it because of him?' She thought again as Zeno's image appeared in her head.
Hina smiled, "That's just ridiculous!" She yelled before leaping back away from the shadow.
"You are getting faster." The shadow muttered.
"You think so, I couldn't quite tell." Hina responded.
"This fight… has gone on long enough it's time I ended it." The shadow uttered.
He screamed as he gestured his hands to the sky. Multiple uncountable shadow spears appeared in the sky, they were so much that they covered the artificial sun to a degree.
Hina looked at the spears and an idea suddenly hit her, 'Magic doesn't work, so what if I try anti-magic.' She thought.
Her portal opened and she pulled out a black blade that was oozing with dark energy, once she got a feel of it she smiled.
The shadow looked at Hina for a bit, "Hina! Those last few years we had were fun, and I'm sorry it had to end like this… if there was another way I would glady take it, but my Master's orders are absolute, I hope you have your wish in the afterlife. Goodbye".
Releasing his hand, all the spears went charging down at Hina, but she wasn't afraid, She was too busy increasing the power on her blade.
Hina had the sword raised to the sky with more and more power building around the blade, causing the energy to whooshed up from the blade to the sky.
Her whole surroundings were flooded with insane wind power as sparks of red lightning began to appear around her.
With her eyes closed, Hina took a deep breath before she opened them to see the spears charging at her.
'I raise this sword to bring down conquering retribution!'... "Demon blade… LEVITON!".
Pusssh!
Hina drove the blade down with the massive energy following it as it covered all the spears in one go.
