Entering the Castle of Death

[Everto Ferox]

"...You best be careful Ms. Vampire, you were caught off guard before." he said in an odd voice, as he reached his metal grieve out...and crushed her attack. A red aura flared around his body. "And it looks like...I got you."

[Akuma Shuen]

"But you also have me it seems" Akuma muttered appearing seemingly out of nowhere with his sword in hand, he moved noiselessly between the large armoured man and Lady Elexa "Now you can deal with a vampire... but what about a vampire and the knigh of night?" He raised an eyebrow before glancing back at Lady Elexa, he had heard rumours of what she was but of course none of the guards would acknowledge it out of fear

[Lady Elexa B'Shera]

Elexa smiled. "Excellent timing, Shuen. I thought you were following me." She looked at Everto. "You seem to be a bit outnumbered, sir. Mind telling me who you are now?"

[Everto Ferox]

Everto burst into a long deep laugh as he readied his sword, "You seek assitance from an insect...as if either you two could put harm me. I don't have to tell you anything."

The red aura around him didn't fade, but it didn't grow stronger either.

"Come then, show me a worthy battle!"

[Akuma Shuen]

Akuma simply shrugged slightly, clearly unphased by the man's size "I despise people like you..." He said, his voice like ice in these hallowed halls "You believe that your size will get you anywhere you wish" He clenched his fists "But I do love cutting you all down to size"

[Lady Elexa B'Shera]

Elexa simply smiled, and suddenly, was nowhere to be seen.

"Find me now," she said, and her voice came from everywhere and nowhere a once, her scythe's dark abilities finally coming into play.

[Akuma Shuen]

Akuma smirked slightly behind the large red fabric covering his mouth, it seemed that not only was the man outnumbered but he was outdone. He looked across at the man and sighed slightly "Well then, shall we get this over and done with?" He asked his eyes betraying no sense of fear or cowardice.

[Everto Ferox]

Everto made a growl of disgust for Elexa, so instead he turned to Akuma."Yes boy I agree to end this....with your blood on my blade."

As he said this his sword became a flail and swung outward, the red tint on the blade was leaving red energy in the walls as the flail cut into it. The energy then let off explosions, crumbling into Guasto Castle. The flail looked like it would hit Akuma...but it kept hitting the walls instead. When he was finished he pulled his blade back...and the area Akuma stood in exploded. Destroying a part of Guasto Castle as well.

[Akuma Shuen]

Akuma seemed to dissapear from the area in which he stood, reappearing behind Everto with his back resting against the wall and his arms crossed, his weapon was nowhere to be seen "Dear oh dear" he muttered shaking his head slightly "Brute force, taking down castles, I cannot let this go unnoticed" he said opening his left hand and a large rectangular shaped area of darkness folded around his arm before fading to reveal his sword.

[Everto Ferox]

Everto nearly paid no notice, instead he resummoned his flail and began carving the walls again. Akuma's phrase was more correct than he thought, Everto was not here to simply look for Zelos. He was destroying his castle. Once Everto was finished another half of the castle exploded, the foundation began to groan from the loss of it's support.

"You try to stop me? Yes keep fighting me, because the more you fight me the stronger my Soul of War becomes."

[Akuma Shuen]

Akuma faded underneath the large weapon and blocked it with his sword, he sighed slightly showing no notice of struggling under the man's might "You do think highly of yourself don't you?" He said smirking slightly "Next I shall be a demon of the many level's of hell and Ms Elexa will be a goddess" He shook his head

[Everto Ferox]

"You?! Hahaha!" Everto laughed, his eyes crazed. "You couldn't even make that level, you are what you are-"

His aura flared in greated as he began launching sword combos at Akuma, "A useless insect! Pawns to vampire whores!"

[Akuma Shuen]

Akuma smiled again as he blocked the strikes with an almost inhuman precision, he dissapeared away from the last strike with a small flicker of shadows before reappearing behind Everto and sending a spiked gauntlet into the back of his neck, usually the weakest part of an armoured opponent

[Everto Ferox]

Akuma's guess was quite accurate, Everto's quick reflexes saved his life...but the spikes scratched his bare skin. The moment blood was drawn his aura flared stronger than before. Akuma's position left him open for Everto's next attack. Switching his sword to hammer mode he slammed his hammer onto Akuma.

[Akuma Shuen]

Akuma drifted to Everto's left but the hammer still roughly caught his side, it knocked him away a few feet but he managed to compose himself and land on his feet, stretching upwards he rolled his shoulders and neck "Like A bull, fast and powerful... yet very predictable"
