For the first time in her life, Sabria felt a surge of power within her burst out as if a hole was formed where her chest was as she charged at Xiphos, kicking him far away from her. However, a simple kick of that magnitude simple wouldn't be enough to subdue him as he retaliated with a blow to the face but she was able to block it in an instant.
Grabbing his arm, Sabria swung Xiphos over her shoulders onto the ground, destroying much of it but he tried to fight back with a swift kick to the legs but Sabria jumped above him. She then kicked him with enough force to send him flying through the mantle of the planet. Rising to the sky, Xiphos charged up a powerful ki blast and fired it at Sabria who swatted it away toward the moon, vaporizing it completely.
Sabria was quick to learn from Xiphos' example as she charged a light purple ki blast in her right hand and fired it at Xiphos who casually swatted it away but felt a burning sensation on his arm. The ki blast than detonated with a deadly explosion that sent him flying towards a mountain which fell apart from the sheer amount of force behind the attack.
Recovering from the attack, Xiphos quickly charged at Sabria who casually dodged to the left and fired another ki blast at Sabria who managed to dodge it with great difficulty and tried firing his own at her. Sabria merely canceled out the attack with her knee and slammed Xiphos to the ground with a swift karate chop to the neck.
He, however recovered from the attack and succeeded in punching Sabria square in the face with enough force to create gusts of wind that spread through miles of the area. As he looked proud at finally landing a hit on her, Sabria merely glared at him and kneed him in the face and grabbing his face from above, threw him over her shoulders toward the temple.
"No… this can't be happening! Where is she getting all this power from? Even with my size increase, it's not changing a darn thing! Why?! Is sheer strength not enough to-" Xiphos' thoughts were interrupted by Sabria's volley of ki blasts when bombarded onto Xiphos. She continued to bombard him with these attacks until she felt his body perish in the blast.
'Tis but a ruse as Sabria saw Xiphos had conjured up a red barrier around him, absorbing much of the damage done by the ki blasts. Several seconds later, a single crack appeared from the side which prompted Sabria to continue her assault on Xiphos who struggled to defend himself as more cracks began appearing all around the barrier and eventually, it collapsed.
Seeing this, Sabria charged through the barrier and broke through it, dealing a powerful blow to Xiphos who struggled to defend himself from such an attack. He was sent flying towards a mountain several miles from his location.
Sabria pressed on and caught him by surprise with a blow to the face followed by a series of punches and kicks. Xiphos was completely caught off-guard and tried attacking Sabria who dodged to the right and slammed him to the ground with a casual punch.
Flying towards the sky, Sabria began powering up a green colored ki blast that was much bigger than her own body as well as a small mountain. Sending it flying towards Xiphos, he was quick to conjure up a barrier but found it to be the least effective in this situation as it shattered in a matter of seconds.
Catching the attack with both of his hands, Xiphos was intent on preventing it from destroying him completely but felt the same burning sensation he felt earlier. Struggling to hold it at bay as his feet had trouble staying in place, Xiphos smirked as he was completely engulfed in the attack which detonated in a deadly explosion, creating a pretty large crater beneath her feet.
"Well, I guess its the end. It just felt, oh I don't know… too easily? Regardless, guess it's time for me to leave this place. Farewell, Xip-" At that second, Sabria felt something impale her from behind and she looked down. A hand had stabbed her near her abdomen and immediately she looked behind, a sinister figure had attacked her.
"Goodness me, you almost defeated me… that blast almost killed me. Well, not really me… an image of me.." Just as Xiphos prepared to bring his hand out, Sabria swiftly kicked him in the face from the side, sending him flying towards the ground with a loud thunk. The girl simply scoffed at her wound and stared down at Xiphos who casually got up from the crater.
"What do you mean by image? Was that not you I was fighting the whole time?" Detested by what she saw, Sabria began to charge forth but felt a hand grab her from behind and sent her flying towards the ground.
"Yes, exactly. You never did injure me with those ki blasts of yours, nor did you destroy me. The reason is simple… the one you were fighting was merely an illusion created by me." When Xiphos said those words, Sabria tried making a counterattack of her own but saw the image she attacked faded away and felt another stab to the chest area.
"You just don't get it, do you? Thanks to the magic I possess, defeating you is all too easy. How about you die here and now?" Xiphos gleefully said, pulling out his hand from her chest and was certain he had won. But when Sabria grabbed his hand, he heard a laugh leave the girl's body as she kicked him straight in the face, sending her flying only a few feet away from her.
"Are you serious? This is all you got? Two wounds to the chest and you think I'm dead? How naive!" Sabria said as she let out a loud yell which caused the very clouds to disappear. Xiphos saw as the girl charged at Xiphos, punching him across the face with consecutive attacks and sent him hurtling towards the ground.
Xiphos was quick to get up from the attack and punched Sabria across the face but saw it had little to no effect. In fact, Sabria was smiling at him as she headbutted him and continued her assault on Xiphos who simply blocked her attacks but felt the pain of said attacks.
The madman felt he was being pushed back by one girl, indeed he felt his hands give in under the pain. Soon, Sabria was able to breach Xiphos' defences and succeeded in injuring him greatly in the chest, damaged his left arm and sent him flying to the ground where she followed after him, laughing the entire time she was fighting him.
What the heck is wrong with this girl? Earlier, she seemed ready to accept her fate by my attack. Not too soon after, she gained a mysterious power up and was able to challenge my power. But as soon as I inflicted two severe wounds on her which should have killed her, she went on a violent rampage! She's not the person I picked up on that planet! What does this mean? Is she really… No! Such a thing is impossible! I have to get some distance between us!
Xiphos was quick to kick Sabria in the face and flew past her with great speed. But he saw Sabria was already next to him and kicked him back to the temple, causing it to crumble to the ground. "Oh blast it all! She destroyed my temple! My precious temple! I will make her PAY!" Powering up even more than before, Xiphos succeeded in kicking Sabria across the face and pummeled her to the ground.
"I have to end this before she ends me! Here goes! Fir-" Before he could power up his attack, Sabria appeared from behind, grabbing his arm and breaking it with a simple gesture. She further powered up when she let out a loud scream. The girl headbutted Xiphos once more, dealing a significant amount of damage to him.
"There's no way! Her power doubled… no, tripled! Wait, its still increasing! What state is she in right now? No… it couldn't be!" Xiphos quickly casted a spell which bound Sabria in place and fired a series of ki blasts at her, causing even more damage to her than before. Screaming louder than before, Sabria broke free of her restraint and charged at Xiphos who teleported a great distance away.
"There's no doubt about it… I know what she's become and I'll stop it myself! This should be easy, even for a powerful individual such as me. Xiphos the Emperor!" Waving his hands around, Xiphos casted a spell on Sabria which sent forth a gust of blue wind. The girl saw this and tried getting rid of it with her hand, but saw it was futile as she succumbed to slumber and began falling to the ground.
Meanwhile, Xiphos was breathing heavily after having used such a powerful sleep spell. It's meant to soothe those who succumb to anger and lose all fighting spirit. Finally, they succumb to slumber which depends solely on how powerful the spell and user is.
"She's asleep! Good… now I can finally end this once and for all!" Xiphos then ascended to the sky and powered up a powerful purple ki blast with both of his hands. As soon as it reached a certain size, he threw it towards the planet, intending on destroying everything around him.
On the ground, Sabria was still fast asleep as the ki blast came towards at her, unable to move or even fight back for that matter. When she became engulfed by the attack, a ray of light appeared around the girl.
"It is not your time to die. Allow me to help you." As the light grew brighter, Xiphos seemed angered by it and quickly rushed at it but found his speed drastically decrease the closer he got to it. Then, the light disappeared from Xiphos, leaving him completely bewildered by what just happened between his very own eyes.
