Hai hai, minna-sama!

I'm back! Sorry for the delayed post, was busy unpacking! But now that's over, I can write again! Excited? Of course you are, after I left you with the terrible cliffhanger last chapter. Let's just get started alright?
*looks to left* Oh no. My good food I brought over are going to be finished soon. Feeeq. Oh well.


Current time: 8:00:00.00.

"Uuugh!" With a giant blast of compressed air, outward into the forest, toppling a number of trees, blowing Styles back not by only a few meters, Nightwatcher awoke, his barrier causing the explosion of air. Stretching, he looked up at the night sky.

"Fun time?" Saying that, he smirked widely, his eyes turning from a dull gold to a bright red, glowing in the dark night, though his hair remaining its sombre brown colour. Putting his hood on quickly, he jumped onto a branch, one straight across from the one which Styles had jumped to out of instinct due to the explosion.

"Oya? What do we have here?" Nightwatcher smiled to Styles, who quickly formed a scythe of blood.

"Blood magic, oya? You dare use that in front of me?" Nightwatcher laughed, and bent the scythe in half, creating a golden substance in the blood.

"Ichor. My magic is Ichor. Blood of the Gods. Your Magic is useless before me, oya," Nightwatcher only said before creating a scythe of his own.

"Scythe of Gaea," He proudly said as the bright, glowing, golden scythe finished forming. At the sight of the grand, golden scythe, Styles could not help but back away. With an upward slice, Nightwatcher began to form spikes of stone from the ground.

"With this scythe, I can control everything that belongs to the Earth," Nightwatcher said as he continued to toy with Styles.

[Back at Hotaria's end]

"Tch. You three certainly are annoying," Valkyria said as she jumped around, pained from the scars around her body due to fighting the three at the same time.

"Memory Make! Frostfire Bolt!" Grant shouted out, shooting out a number of balls comprised of blue, cold flames. Hitting Valkyria, they froze her in place, dropping her mid-jump.

"Tch," Valkyria tried to break the ice, but to no avail. It seems she would be at the three's mercy now.

Walking to the others, Lyra dragged a tied up Celestia, throwing the latter to where Valkyria was frozen.

"We're done here, I suppose," Hotaria said, beginning to fly to where she had seen Styles' flare go up.

"Should we really just leave them here?" Lyra asked the angel, who shrugged in response. Sighing, the other three followed Hotaria.

[Back to Styles]

'Shit. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. I underestimated this guy. My best option is to retreat, but this guy is relentless...' Styles thought as Nightwatcher and him jumped from branch to branch, the Ichor user shooting out rocks from his scythe at him.

"Come back! I just wanna kill you, oya! It won't hurt THAT much, oya!" Nightwatcher, who chased after the normal blood user, shouted out while smiling widely.

'Does that guy think this all is just a game? Tch,' Styles shot needles from his blood in a panicked state as he continued to move. Before they could hit, though, all of the turned bright gold, and moved towards Styles in a swirling pattern.

"Glory to Raynes!" Hotaria quickly jumped into action, knocking Nightwatcher in the back of the head, making him lose control of the blood needles.

"Ow, oya," Nightwatcher said nonchalantly as if he felt no pain from that, making Hotaria retreat a few meters quickly. He only giggled before continuing to avoid the two Destiny Crown members' attacks.

"Ugh!" Out of the blue, with no spell casted or chants by Nightwatcher, Hotaria had crashed to the ground, holding off a relatively large comet that had seemingly materialised from thin air. Being weighed down by the meteor several times her size, Hotaria could only attempt to 'parry' the rock with her blade. Mustering up her strength, she threw the rock off her blade with brute force, and literally fragmented it before it could fall on her again. But at the sight of what was behind the rock, she could only stare in horror.

"Gung… Nir!" A glowing, golden spear was hurled at Hotaria at speeds that seem too impossible for a human. Maybe it was the effect of the spear itself that accelerated it. Either way, there was no way she would survive the surging beam of light aimed straight at her. She could only curse herself for not having a shield at that moment.

"Brilliance, Dronen!" Hotaria shouted out before being hit by the spear. Instantly forming a shield of condensed water at where she predicted the spear would hit, she barely protected herself from imminent death. Though it wasn't too imminent anymore. Heaving a deep sigh of relief, she quickly jumped back and flew up, conjuring uncountable amounts of condensed water balls that shot like a machinegun at Nightwatcher.

"Aegis!" Nightwatcher instantly activated the large glowing shield that could defend against the strongest dragon, Acnologia's breathe, to cover the area that Hotaria shot the water 'bullets' at, efficiently defending himself against Hotaria.

"Priwen! Rhongomiant! Ichor Trap!" Nightwatcher then formed a shield and a lance. Both were unlike the weapons he had formed before, both not glowing like the Aegis, Gungnir or the Scythe of Gaea. Before the giant shield that protected him faded away, he formed a box of Ichor around Hotaria, trapping her.

"Both of you are getting on my nerves!" Nightwatcher angrily shouted, beginning his assault on Styles with the spear while defending himself with the shield. There was a limit to how much Nightwatcher could control. With the spear and the box trapping Hotaria to care about, he could no longer control Styles' blood.

[A long time later, time: 3:56]

"Die already!" Nightwatcher fended off Hotaria and Styles without too much of a problem, but his power was very very gradually decreasing, though the still moon hung high in the sky still, giving him copious amounts of moonlight. If Hotaria had broken out later, he would have defeated them both easily.

"Cadeceus!" Nightwatcher shouted, and formed a glowing staff in his hands that shot out tiny supercharged Ichor Bombs around him, them being easily dodged by the pair.

"You two have pushed me to use all my Ichor weapons, yet have not died. Tch. Annoying, but I congratulate you. Thus, I shall use my trump card to end your lives, now!" Nightwatcher's fatigue from the continuous fight showed in his voice, panting between words, but he still managed to shout out, "Blood… Devastation!"

Jumping up, Nightwatcher's glowing, golden eyes and hair were made apparent due to the contrast of colour with the sky. Unexpected from the two on the ground, the smirking, glowing Ichor user jumped again, and again, after that beginning to run on air, towards Styles, who quickly jumped back before being attacked by an Ichor blade.

"What… is this… power?!" Hotaria was thrown back after parrying a strike from Nightwatcher, who had literally appeared in front of her in an instant.

"Focussing his control of his blood, he makes his heart pump faster, also breathing faster to supply more oxygen… Ah!" Styles' had thought of an idea to defeat the seemingly impossible to defeat, "We need to stop him from breathing, even for just a second!"

"On it!" Hotaria instantly replied, flying to Nightwatcher, who disappeared when Hotaria reached him, appearing in the sky above her.

"Keke… You've earned my respect. I'll give you my name, so that you can curse the one that killed you in death!" Nightwatcher smirked and shouted out to them, "Haruyumi Lunares! Fallen Prince of the Lunares Kingdom!"

Before the two could say anything, meteorites zoomed past Haruyumi, and gathered above the two. Styles quickly formed a blood blade, only to have it controlled, while Hotaria equipped herself into Henseth's armour, using the golden scythe to cut up the meteors, each one getting closer and closer.

"Agh!" The final few meteorites had hit, being blocked by Hotaria's scythe.

Current time: 4:21.


How did you like itt? Wasn't as good as last chapter, was it? I think. Though cliffhanger ended! Look forward to next chapter! Final one in the Ars Arc, I think. Unless I can come up with some idea in the little time of one week. Eh… Probably not.

Well.

Eh.

I will eat you if you don't review.

Follow and favourite!

Oh, and PM me OCs! Oh and, each person can have more than one. I felt like I should finally address this. Or did I do that in the OC Submission chapter? I don't remember.

EDIT: I TOTALLY FORGOT TO ADD LINES WHY AM I SO NOOB
