Execution Hall (Morning)

With his eye burning red, Dominic gazed down at his dismembered arm. He remained still for a minute while Raven removed his foot from her arm. Without warning, his entire body caught fire, spewing black flames everywhere. He screamed as his wound began leaking a black fluid that condensed into a replacement for his old appendage. Staring with an emotionless expression at his new arm, he flexed it, then formed sharp claws and blades from it that glowed crimson."I hate you." he said to the woman as cracks formed in the ground beneath him. "What kind of mother-What kind of PERSON abandons their family for some STUPID tribe!?"

The blonde's new arm morphed into a blade similar to his own weapon, then ran at Raven faster than her eyes could see. With all the strength he could muster, he swung his arm-blade at the bandit, creating a Sword Beam that flew at her with the force of a volcanic eruption. The woman transformed into her bird form, flying out of the devastating attack's way.

"Roughing it in the wild! Your only goal's survival! Let your guard down, and you won't live very long!"

Raising his normal arm, Dominic summoned a small, yet dense, fireball. As soon as he loosened his grip on the sphere of energy, it shot out of his hand like a bullet. It managed to pierce Raven's wing, forcing her to land and turn back into a human. Looking down on herself, she found a small wound in her midsection. Thankfully (for her) it didn't hit any vital organs. Knowing she couldn't escape, Raven turned back to Dominic and gripped her weapon.

"Old allies leave you vacant! New allies save your bacon! Don't know how he did it, but he made me strong!"

Raven coated her weapon in Ice Dust, then slashed at Dominic, creating a cyan beam of energy that struck the boy. The impact froze him in a block of ice. This attempt at stopping him was useless, however, as he simply burned through the ice. Dominic then punched the ground with his new arm, causing tendrils of black slime to seep into the earth. As they tore through the soil, they came up just behind Raven and sharpened into needles before lunging at her. The Branwen was able to avoid the worst of it, but her back was grazed by one of the needles.

"Now look at you, a coward, hiding your face! You wouldn't last a day out there in the wastes! I've still got a lot more capsules to fill, call this a mercy kill!"

Raven, tired of being made fun of in Dominic's song, turned into a bird and flew upwards before nosediving at him. She transformed back into a human just in time to stab her weapon into his chest. "Sorry, but I can't afford to hold back." she said, her expression hidden by her mask. Shockingly, at least to her, Dominic began laughing hysterically from the pain. He tore Raven's sword from his body, making magma bleed from his wound. Taken off-guard by this, the woman failed to dodge the swing of Dominic's arm-blade in time. It struck her Aura, cracking it. Spitting up blood from the blow, Raven fell to the ground as her assailant smiled.

"Come on! Stand up and fight me! Your own progeny, has become your worst enemy! So fight like it's your last bout, cause when my arm-blade hits you, you're done! You're out!"

Dominic punched the ground, creating spikes of rock that would've torn Raven apart if she hadn't rolled out of the way. Curiously, the spikes had wet blood on them despite never having made contact with their target. But, of course, she didn't notice.

"Stay down, or else I'll make you! When I strike the ground, the impact's sure to break you! Stop sobbing! I'm not done yet! Gonna give you a beatdown you won't forget!"

Once again, Dominic punched the ground, spawning the stone spikes. This time, he used his arm-blade to slice through the spikes, reducing each one into small stone shards. His eye flashed red as the shards levitated and shot at Raven. The woman retrieved her sword and tried defending herself with it, managing to successfully evade 12 of the shards. Unfortunately, the other 18 met their mark. 'Why isn't my Aura protecting me?' she wondered.

"You're running like a coward with a weakling's Soul! I'm flushed with molten power, all you do's dodge-roll! This forsaken land the Grimm command has made me tough! (But somewhere deep inside, it doesn't feel like enough.)"

Dominic approached slowly, raising his arm to his side. It, along with the ground below him, glowed a deep red as something large was dug out of the earth. It was a pillar, twice the size of Dominic himself. The delicate ridges that graced it's surface were unlike anything Remnant had ever seen. He lifted it over his head, preparing to end Raven once and for all.

"Die to the almighty Mountain King, AND THIS PILLAR I RIPPED OUT THE GROUND! Through the fiercest ferocity, face the velocity of it's fall!"

The blonde slammed the pillar into the terrain as soon as the last note was played. The force of the impact was so powerful, it made cracks in the tunnel's walls, floor, and ceiling. The cracks glowed crimson before detonating, annihilating everything in a mile radius. Once the smoke cleared, Dominic looked around for Raven's corpse, and more importantly, her Aura.

However, he found nothing. After a few moments of thinking, he realized his mistake. While he raised the pillar, Raven must've taken the chance to portal away. "Cagna intelligente." he said to himself as he climbed out of the crater. "Segna le mie parole. Ti troverò. Anche se devo bruciare tutto Remnant."
