Thread: In the Name of the Almighty (Razgriz x Karameida)

War King Endymion As Endymion continued to dodge the Red Horseman's blows, some missing by mere fractions of an inch, War was getting more and more frustrated. Each swing of his sword made the violent red energy only swirl about him more quickly and turbulently even Endymion, resilient as he was to foreign energies, was beginning to feel the effects of War's influence. Stand and face me, coward! War shouted as he swung down on the King once more Endymion raised his sword to block, but he soon heard a loud 'crack' and realized that the Horseman was FAR stronger physically than he was. In what seemed like a fraction of a second, he tilted his blade at an angle so that the Red Horseman's massive blade would slide down, creating a trail of sparks before crashing into the ground and leaving a small crater from the impact. Endymion jumped backwards, far from the Horseman's reach for the moment thankfully, he wasn't intent on killing Serenity enough to go after her when Endymion was so far from them. And he had Mars protecting her he knew he could depend on her in case War tried anything funny. Hunh....That was close. Need to be more careful Endymion thought to himself as he peered down at his blade the impact point had indeed chipped the edge. That was going to be problematic. However, War would not wait for Endymion to strategize long, and quickly resumed his no-holds-barred offensive. For a while, the two exchanged blows Endymion had one advantage over War Agility. War may have been fast given his size, but the bulk of his armor and the weight of his blade impeded his movements to enough of a degree that the King of Crystal Tokyo could land an occasional blow on the Red Horseman. The enchanted blade he carried served as more than ample equipment to cut through the ancient armor that covered War's massive figure though it seemed the strikes themselves were ineffective and in fact only served to anger Endymion's aggressor more. Endymion did his best regardless to keep a level head and pick the best shot he could at his opponent one wrong move and Endymion knew it was game over, as he knew deep down the Horseman outclassed him in terms of physical strength and endurance. At this Endymion leapt back three blood-red roses seemed to be procured out of nowhere before he hurled them like darts. Each did the same thing....Nothing. All that could be heard were small 'pings' as the flowers, which in the past had proven to penetrate concrete and in some cases even steel, harmlessly bounced off of War's armor. The good King figured as much, but he had to see just how strong this Horseman was. His mind wandered to the others, wondering how they were faring against this one's brothers-in-arms. He then looked down at his sword despite being enchanted with some of the strongest magic available, already stress marks and hairline fractures could be seen, even worse from the initial crack after the Horseman's first strike. Just what manner of opponent was he fighting? Horseman.... Endymion said, looking up to glare at the Red Rider, I ask you again, what has Earth done to earn your ire? We seek only to live a peaceful life, and yet you and your kin would destroy all that we have worked for. Why? Of course, during their exchange, Endymion had noticed a second blade on the Horseman's person that sword too was rather big. Surely he didn't wield both at once? No, not even this behemoth would be effective using such large swords at the same time. Endymion reasoned that it was a back-up weapon in case he was disarmed. Seems he truly is War, Rider of the Red Horse . War's grip on his own blade tightened noticeably his own voice, one so sinister and foreboding that it screamed of the countless that had fallen to his rage, then replied Tch... I have told you already. Earth has forgotten its place in the Universe, and as punishment, the Law dictates that the Apocalypse will cleanse its surface. Your kind has disrupted the Balance for far too long, and for that you must die! War then charged again with inhuman speed, his blade raised high as he swung down with all his might Endymion could barely dodge, feeling the wind of the strike rush past his face as the Horseman's sword crashed into the ground, sending a massive shock wave heading straight for his Queen. Serenity! Endymion shouted and started to rush towards her however, War would impede his progress as he appeared in front of Sailor Moon's dear husband. I am your opponent! the Red Horseman barked Endymion then felt a searing pain cross his shoulder and across his front, causing him to cry out. The King of Crystal Tokyo leaped back, then looked down to see that a sizable gash had appeared, the red sanguine fluid leaking out and staining his violet tuxedo. The wound was deep down honestly it was amazing the blade hadn't cleaved him in two. Endymion didn't even see War raise his sword how the hell did he land a hit? Stand, mortal! If you wish to receive retribution, use your outrage and strike me down! War bellowed as he raised his blade in front of himself, the outer edge streaked with Endymion's blood. However, there would be little chance for any form of respite the incarnation of destruction and violence soon rushed Endymion again, forcing them into another bout of heated sword-clashing.
