Chapter Twenty-Four
The Name of the One who Killed You
This was the worse case scenario that he could ever have predicted.
Noir's eyes were fixed upon the sky above him as he stared at the large creature that was trying to push itself into this world. He had never expected to actually see one of those things today. He knew that they were circumstances that could draw a Leviathan but there was no way for one of them to be drawn here of all places…
It didn't make any sense.
"What exactly is a Leviathan?" he heard Ruby asked, "Is it a stronger type of Grimm?"
"To tell you the truth Ruby," he said, "We don't really know what a Leviathan is, thought some simply categorize it as a stronger Grimm. It's still debatable as to whether they're Grimm or not, considering the few times we actually have seen one of them. The only times that the Leviathan have actually appeared was during the times of war."
"War?" Ruby repeated.
"But now is not the time to ponder this," Noir continued, "We have to close that Doorway to stop him from entering into this world. If he does, none of us would be able to stop him and the entire city of Vale will be destroyed."
"What do you suppose we do?" Pyrrha asked him giving a sideway glance.
"While I don't know anyway to actually defeat a Leviathan," Noir said simply, "I simply said that we simply close the Doorway before he enters into this world…but considering the size of it, we can't honestly say that he will simply let us. I need your men to act as a shield for us and to be able to counter using Dust Magic."
Pyrrha nodded at him before focusing upon the four in front of her.
"You heard him Cardin," she said.
The brown haired young man with the mace on his shoulder gave her a backward glance.
"I heard ya," he said, "Team CRDL can handle this."
"Good," he said.
"What do you want us to do?" Ruby asked.
Noir gave her a backward glance.
"Are you sure you'll be able to handle it?" he asked.
"Of course we can," Yang said, "I've got enough Aura in me for a fight."
Ruby was confident as well. Noir nodded at them and focused forward.
"Alright, let's go," he said.
The group moved as one as team CRDL was in front of them all of them holding their weapons and ready to fight if they can. Behind them was Ruby and Yang, having summoned their weapons out and were ready to actually fight back and at the end were both Noir and Pyrrha. The duo was moving in sync of each other and the young man placed both of his palms together as he gathered his Aura.
I'm going to have a single shot at this, he though, I can't afford to mess it up.
Then he started to chant the spell.
"The flow of time is interrupted, as the darkness surge forward. The lost light is regained and the bonds of worlds restrained. A light dances across the four corners of the Below, their will crumble and whither, at the face of the Undying One. The light will guide the lost darkness and the world will rebalance."
Around his body, a bright light was starting to grow as strange lines were also appearing upon his body. Noir could feel the power surging through his body as he moved forward with Pyrrha chancing a glance toward him, a light curiosity in her green eyes.
Above them, the Leviathan had started to stick his head out of the darkness of the world behind it. Its face was really similar to a Grimm. The mask that it wore was a deathly pale and it disturbingly looks similar to the face of a person. The most disturbing was the permanent grin that was upon the mask with the large teeth interlocking with each other. The large glowing eyes were focused down upon them and then with a cracking sound, the large jaws were opening.
It's going to attack, Noir thought.
Pyrrha had noticed it as well.
"CRDL," she yelled.
"On it," the group said.
A large concentrated ball of darkness was forming from the lips of the Leviathan and it was like the very air around it was starting to twist as well. Noir could feel the darkness within that attack. He never thought that the Grimm could do such an attack like that…
Could that mean…the Leviathan are on a higher level than the Grimm?
Team CRDL all pointed their weapons forward and spoke as one.
"Dust Level 78, King's Wall," they all yelled together.
A large glow of light appeared in front of them as the Dust magic took shape in the air in front of them. It was a large ornate wall with many symbols upon it. The Leviathan's blast was launched straight toward them and the blast thing slammed upon the wall in front of them causing a massive wave of darkness to overcome their surrounding entirely was covered in blackness. Noir glanced around himself seeing that there was no way out of the attack which had completely surrounded them from all side.
A blast this powerful, he thought, If that thing hit the city beneath us…it will vaporize it in a instant.
Pyrrha placed both of her hands together as well as her own Aura surged around her body.
"Dust Level 88, Lilith's Shield," she said.
A larger Shield was formed right behind of Team CRDL's King's Wall magic and Pyrrha was grunting lightly at the amount of Aura that was pushing against them.
"I have never seen Grimm to be able to fire something like this," she said, giving him a glance, "Are you done with that spell of yours yet?"
"Not yet," Noir said, with both of his palm completely covered in light and the lines that had appeared on his form were glowing as well.
In front of them the King's Wall shattered completely causing Team CRDL to yell out in shock as the only thing that was now keeping the blast as the large shield that Pyrrha had created. The attack continued to push against the shield and Pyrrha's Aura shone around her body as she fought to hold her Shield together and the girl was gritting her teeth at the amount of power that was being unleashed upon her.
"That thing is too powerful," Cardin yelled.
"It broke through a level 78 Dust magic spell like it was nothing," another one of the member said.
Noir narrowed his eyes as the blast started to crack Pyrrha's shield protection and then just as the large Shield shattered, the attack was finished. The girl was send flying backward at the powerful attack as she yelled out.
"Pyrrha," Cardin yelled, launching after her.
Noir gave her a sideway glance before refocusing on the Leviathan in front of them and to his horror, the same blast as before was starting to power up again in front of the opened mouth. Noir's eyes widened at the power that the strange creature possessed.
He can fire something that powerful multiple times? He thought, gritting his teeth, Shit, I can't cast a spell with my hands busy…
Suddenly red petals and a flash of yellow passed beside him aiming straight toward the large Leviathan's powering attack. Noir's eyes widened as he stared at the two girls in front of him.
"RUBY, YANG," he yelled, out their names.
"Bleed the world red, Crescent Rose,"
"Burn as hot as the Sun, Ember Cecilia,"
The two girls Aura skyrocketed into the air as their Aura shoots up into the air in front of Noir.
Just what the hell these two are thinking? He thought, staring at them.
Both Ruby and Yang flow forward straight toward the Leviathan's face as the duo gathered their Aura to the max. They were going to unleash an attack using every inch of their power at the large creature in front of them. Ruby was yelling out as she unleashed her full power into the Soul Weapon she was holding as she grow close to it.
"Crimson Wave," she yelled out launching her Scythe forward.
A large blast of red Aura was launched straight at the large Leviathan causing a massive explosion in the air around them and right after her, Yang launched her fist forward her massive Aura causing a large yellow blast to shoot at the Leviathan.
"Explosive Fist,"
The two attacks slammed straight into the large creature's head actually pushing it backward and even cracking the mask that was upon the said Leviathan's face. The large creature let out a large wail of some kind causing the air around it to vibrate with the yell it was unleashing in the sky. The strong yell caused both Ruby and Yang to be blow away from the large creature and Ruby was still shocked that their attack haven't seem to do anything against it…
Just how powerful is it? Ruby thought, that was the entire remaining of my power…
"That's one though bastard," Yang said, out of breath.
The Leviathan fixed the duo with it's glowing eyes and was about to attack again but a large white symbol appeared in front of it. Ruby's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the strange happening in front of her, and the young man was there with both of his hand aimed forward. From his palm, lines of lights were coming from his palms and were appearing at the corners of each of the Doorway and they were moving through them like a something was tying both of the corners and were pushing them back together.
"That was a reckless move," he said, "But…it managed to buy me enough time to actually complete the spell. For that, I thank you."
Ruby and Yang smirked to each other as the young man refocused his attention forward. He yelled outward as his Aura surges through his body as the very lines started to close back, forcing the Leviathan back into the abyss of the Shadow World and then the lines closed themselves before disappearing completely leaving the sky spotless.
He was huffing as well at the large amount of Aura he had to use for that spell and he felt like he was completely drained at the attack. He turned his gaze toward the two girls that were with him.
"You guys alright?" he asked.
Ruby nodded at him and Yang stared at the place that was in front of them where the Doorway once stood.
"Well…that was a thing," she said.
A large explosion coming from the North drew everyone's attention toward it.
"That Aura…," Yang said staring at where it was coming from.
"That's the direction of the Manor," Ruby said.
Weiss, Noir thought.
Meanwhile
Weiss stared up toward the large cloud of smoke that was in the air in front of her. The girl had her eyes narrowed at the area where she had trapped the Faunus girl with the strings of light disappearing from her fingers. As the smoke dissipated, Weiss could feel her eyes widening lightly as she noticed that there was nothing in front of her.
What? She thought, How did she…
"Gambol Shroud,"
Weiss turned her attention toward the voice finding the Faunus girl standing in the air above her. She stared, shocked at the girl in front of her and was surprised to see her here instead of being trapped in her White World attack.
"That was a pretty good attack," the Faunus said, "But it's not good enough to take me down."
Weiss raised her sword as the Faunus launched straight at her and she blocked the attack that had came at her. The woman then launched kick straight at Weiss's stomach, right toward where she was stabbed causing Weiss to wince in pain as she was pushed back from the attack. The Faunus came at her again and the white haired girl winced as she slid through the air and the attacks came quick at her and she was blocking them causing sparks to dance in the air in front of her.
"You're slowing down Schnee," the Faunus jeered as she launched another attack straight at Weiss, "Was that last attack you did all that you have?"
Weiss let out a scoff as she pushed her away from her with a yell and raising a hand toward her.
"Dust Level 89, Heavenly Thunder,"
The attack launched straight at the dark haired girl whose golden eyes widened at the speed of the attack and she had to cover her face as the blast reached her causing a large explosion in the air in front of Weiss. The said girl wasted no time as a large Glyph appeared underneath the girls' feet, her blue eyes staring up toward where the Faunus was and then her eyes widened noticing the clawed attacks that were coming straight at her, concentrated with Aura energy.
The Glyph beneath her glowed red as well as her sword and the girl yelled outward before she launched her weapon straight toward the oncoming attack causing it to shatter and then she jumped upward aiming straight at the Faunus who was coming down toward her.
"Die," the Faunus yelled launching a clawed attack forward.
Weiss placed her weapon at the ready as the sword in her hand shone a whitish blue color. The two attacks clashed against each other resulting in large explosions as the two separated once more and each time they met, it caused the air around the Manor to shake at each of their meetings. Weiss entire body felt numb to her at the moment, no longer feeling any pain and the girl couldn't say whether it was a good thing or bad as she was completely focused upon the battle that was in front of her.
Each time their attacks met each other, blue eyes met golden ones. Weiss could see the hate that was within them, the hatred that the Faunus girl could feel. She can see the hatred in each of the strike that were coming at her and Weiss can feel herself growing weaker at each strike. It won't be long now before her body give out on her and at their last encounter, she jumped backward just as the Faunus girl did.
The two of them were breathing heavily and Weiss can see that her vision was getting blurry.
I can't keep going like this, she thought, My body feels like it's tied to weight…and my strength is completely draining away…my Aura is almost at his limits and soon enough, I won't be able to keep Myrtenaster into it's Released State any longer…and if I lose it, I won't be able to keep up with her…
Weiss placed her hand upon the one that was holding her blade.
I'm going to have to finish this battle in my next attack, she thought.
Her blue eyes glanced up toward the Faunus across her.
"I can feel you getting weaker," the latter spoke out, "I doubt you even have enough power to even do a lot of damage to me any longer. Every time our attacks met each others, you've gotten less and less powerful than the previous one and now…all that remained is to kill you."
The Faunus raised her hand and an Aura formatted weapon appeared there.
"That is known as Gambol Shroud," she said, "It's the weapon I used to break free from your previous attack…now are you ready to finish this Schnee?"
The white haired girl took a stance before she launched straight forward and the Faunus girl did the same as well. The two opposing force launched straight at each other and Weiss yelled out as she aimed her blade straight for the Faunus just as the latter did the same.
Just as she was about to stab her through, her sword reformatted into it's original state causing Weiss's eyes to widen in shock. She knew that she was no longer able to hold upon Myrtenaster released form and that lost of focus cost her greatly.
The Faunus's Aura weapon managed to stab straight through her stomach as blood flew out of the wound. The white haired girl's eyes widened at what had happened to her, her blood dripping out of the wound she had upon her body. The Faunus's golden eyes stared at her, a small smirk appearing upon her face.
Damn…it…
Weiss's form was starting to feel heavier as she stood there in front of the said girl ran through by the weapon that had hit her through her form. The wind was blowing softly through the area as the she stay there, staring at the golden eyes.
"Game over Schnee," the Faunus said, "You have played right into our plans. Exhausting your power to recreate that spell we destroyed and your pride as a Huntress wouldn't have let you seat out the battle and I can say I am surprised that you managed to last this long with your injuries, but a miracle can only last so long before it ends."
The golden eyes stared at her mercilessly.
"Earlier," the Faunus continued, "I remember you asking for my name. I don't tell my full name to anyone else but, as a Huntress, you fought well for someone as young as you are, so I'll tell you Schnee, so that you can remember it as you die. My name is Blake Belladonna, of the Faunus Clan. Remember the name of the one who killed you, Weiss Schnee."
Myrtenaster fell down toward the ground, slipping from the fingers that can no longer hold her….
A fatal wound...Weiss is...
