"Kirito." Alice put her hand on his shoulder. "Be careful. This Eugeo is not the same Eugeo that you knew."
"All right." Kirito entered his generic battle stance, his sword tilted downwards and to the right. Alice backed off to the side of the room. She put her hand on the handle of her sword, just to be sure.
"Eugeo. You might not remember anything anymore, but you should know this. As the master, I will not lose to my student just yet." Eugeo unsheathed his sword and entered the same battle stance as Kirito. Both his and Kirito's eyes locked on. Alice looked on with concern. About five seconds of silence occured before both Kirito and Eugeo charged at each other with all their might. It looked as if both would crash right into each other. Kirito knew that he had to find a way to curve around Eugeo, as with his newly gained powers, he wouldn't stand a chance. Either he would be blasted away by the force or Eugeo would freeze him where he stood. As they neared each other, Kirito swinged his blade forwards while advancing towards the right. Eugeo clashed his blade against Kirito's and the force of the impact blew Kirito right into the room wall.
"System Call: Generate Thermal Element. Ball Shape!" Eugeo's other hand rapidly filled up with thermal energy as Kirito was recovering from the blow. "It seems I underestimated him." Kirito looked at his right arm holding his sword. "I can still fight, however."
"System Call: Generate Umbral Element. Square Shape!" Kirito quickly gathered umbral energy in his other hand to prepare himself. Eugeo looked at him unamused and aimed his left hand at Kirito. "Release!" The ball of thermal energy jolted towards Kirito. "Release!" Kirito threw the umbral energy forwards which formed a square shield. The thermal energy clashed against the umbral shield. In the meantime, Kirito freed himself from the wall and prepared for the next strike. As he looked forwards, Eugeo was nowhere to be found. "What? Where did he go?" Before he could process it, the umbral shield faded away and Eugeo launched himself at Kirito. "Did he use the umbral shield as a fog to hide himself from me?" Kirito quickly pulled his sword in front of himself to block Eugeo's attack. But Eugeo was already ahead of him. He threw an ice blade behind Kirito which almost immediately created a wall of ice. Kirito quickly looked behind him. "I can use this ice to slide away." Kirito turned back towards Eugeo, who had vanished once again. Kirito's eyes widened as he looked up to find Eugeo about to launch another ball of thermal energy directly at him.
"System Call: Generate Umbral Element. Spear Shape!" A spear-like shape of umbral energy formed in Kirito's left hand. "Release!" Kirito then quickly launched the spear-like shape towards the thermal energy source, blowing it up right in front of Eugeo's face. Kirito slid away from the current battle and shook his shoulders around a bit. The smoke obscured Kirito's vision and as he tried to look through, another ice blade is launched towards Kirito, who barely dodges it. "What, already?" Kirito barely had time to regain his balance before Eugeo dashed right at him. Kirito held up his blade, ready to block the attack. Eugeo's Blue Rose Sword started to glow with a bright shine. But Kirito wouldn't let him be distracted again. He cried out with anger and struck right against Eugeo's sword. And once again, Eugeo outsmarted Kirito. He knew that his Blue Rose Sword would easily overpower Kirito's blade. And yet, Kirito managed to hold up the attack. Eugeo stared right into Kirito's face, filled with rage and anger. Eugeo closed his eyes and snapped with his left hand. The entire room turned to ice in an instant and both Kirito and Alice were pinned against the wall with ice.
"You don't understand. What I've been wanting. Yearning for, for my entire life." Eugeo sheathed his sword and looked directly at Kirito. "But she. She gives me what I want." Eugeo turned around and slowly snaps with his hand again and the ice around both Kirito's and Alice's face melts. "Eugeo. It's all a trap. She's using you." Eugeo turned back around. "Using me?" Kirito tried to break free of the ice. "Yes, she's using you for her own goods. You are not supposed to be a puppet of hers." Eugeo closed his eyes and sighed. "She's using me so that I can receive what I've been wanting for my entire life." Kirito's face turns towards Alice and mouthes a System Call. "All right. System Call: Generate Heat Element." Kirito turns back towards Eugeo. "What is it you've been wanting then?"
"Love for just myself. Someone who devotes themselves to bring me eternal love. As long as I listen to her demands, she promised to give me a pleasure beyond my imagination." Kirito's face turns towards rage again. "Once you've done what she wants you to do, she'll leave you out to dry! You're gonna be left behind and no-one will have loved you!" On that remark, Eugeo immediately unsheathed his sword and pointed it towards Kirito's face. "You better shut your mouth now. In a couple minutes, this ice will start to shatter itself. You will slowly break apart." Right when Eugeo was about to step away from them, the ice around Alice had melted and she ran towards Eugeo, blade drawn. Her sword glowed a bright gold as it moved through the air. She let out a fierceful cry as she struck with the blade. Eugeo lifted his blade up against Alice's, stopping her charge immediately. He then pointed the blade at her chin while freezing her sword. "Interference is prohibited. You will remain passive in this fight if you want to avoid being hurt." She started to back off as Eugeo thawed the ice around Kirito. "Now's my chance!" Kirito grabbed at the opportunity and immediately dashed at Eugeo. He shook briefly, before deflecting Kirito's attack with the Blue Rose Sword.
"That is not all!" Kirito backed off and immediately started to chant. "Enhance Armament!" Kirito's sword deformed into a large wave of umbral magic. He swinged the controllable madness a whole circle before he directed it towards Eugeo. Eugeo stood up straight and readied his sword. He turned his entire body upon swinging his blade against the umbral energy. Kirito looked dumbfounded. "Is he trying to counter this just using his normal blade?" But he shook his head. "He's got something up his sleeve. Is he stalling for time...?" Eugeo's Blue Rose Sword started to glow once more. "Enhance Armament." Kirito immediately recalled his enhanced sword and chanted. "System Call: Generate Umbral Element. Square Shape!" Kirito created a big shield to protect both himself and Alice. But with Eugeo's power, the shield couldn't withstand much. Both Kirito and Alice were covered in strong ice, being unable to move. "I suppose I've had enough for now." Eugeo turned towards the stairs, but stopped and began to kneel.
"So, you're Kirito.." A woman with long pink hair seductively walked down the stairs. The clothes she wore left much to the imagination. She snapped her fingers lightly, causing all the ice to thaw almost immediately. Kirito immediately tried to leap at her, but she pushed both Kirito's and Alice's swords away from them. "I suppose you knew who I am." Kirito eyed her around a bit. Her eyes were a beautiful light blue. Her body was slim and curved well. "You're the Administrator, Quinella." She smiled. "I wonder who told you that." She wandered around the two for a bit. "Say, why are you here? Why have you invaded the Axiom Church?" Kirito didn't feel like answering at all. And Quinella knew this. With her own power, she forcefully turned Kirito's head towards her. She put her hand through his hair. "Mhmm... Soft.."
