Surprise was evident in his eye. He stepped through his target, testing it with his paw. He stepped back and looked at the middle one. The only one that had the strong aura. Gods Damnit... He thought to himself. He growled at the man and the man flinched in mock terror. The man laughed and raised his hand. There was a something shiny in the palm of his hand, and Taurou's feline instincts told him to take it.

He went to grab it but there was a trembling under Taurou's feet and he jumped sideways as a large rock golem appeared. It was about 10m high with stones for a body. It had a large spear made out of stone, and a shield made out of stone as well. It swung at him and Taurou easily dodged it. It was slow, but the strike that he doged broke apart the ground. This was strong.

Any animal would have done combat with the golem and tired themselves out, or killed themselves... But seeing as how Taurou still had some consciousness of his human self, he went for the goelm's controller. His body posture showed that he wasn't surprised at this and he raised his other hand. A wall of stone appeared right infront of Taurou and he smacked into it. He shook his head and looked at the golem. He had to kill this guy first...

Jumping off of the wall, he pounced on the golem's face, scratching the indents on it that seemed to be his eyes. The golem just flung him off and Taurou went skidding across the arena. He slowly circled the golem at this point, assessing his opponent and hoping to find a weakness.

Nhieling could only see Taurou fight, but he hoped he would be fine. Try not dying or I'll use you for making fur boot ehe.

Then his own opponent, he let his cloak go, reveling a skinny guy, whiter than an aspirin pill, with long black hair going wild all over his shoulder.

It seem you're overestimating yourself... Even saying this, his expression stay neutral not showing any sign of emotion, be it anger fear or anything else...
Oh? So I should be afraid of someone even thinner than me? It's some scary magic power you must have here ehehe...

He lifted his hand, and just said : Contempt the power of the dead realm.

Then three spirit appear out of nowhere. Each of them was faceless. Then he opened a little box, and some powder started flying, surrounding the spirit. After a few second, three beast, like the one they've fought before, were standing here. They were smaller, but at the same time seemed more agile.

On Erzhik side, the two opponents were staring at each others, silently. Erzhik draw out his shadow sword, and get on guard. Then his opponent bent down.
Erzhik was wondering why, and the second after the cloak fell to the ground, and his opponent get in front of him. Erzhik blocked the attack in extremis, and them jump back. His opponent were... Everything but not human. He had definitely mix his body with demon part. He had scale instead of skin, no eyes, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and other dangerous thing all over his body.

After a few moments of assessing each other, the golem sprung. He swung down with his large stone blade and tried to strike Taurou once more. Again Taurou easily dodged the attack. This time however, the golem followed through with the attack and broke the ground apart, leaving a large rift in the middle. Rocks flew everywhere and nearly crushed Taurou with one of the larger ones. He and the golem stared each other down for a few seconds before the golem fell apart.

Taurou's eyes widened in surprise as the golem died and the wall fell. His opponent sat there smiling, not moving. Taurou took this as a chance to strike. He sped towards the man and clawed at his chest. The man stepped backwards and only his robe, and his tunic, were ripped. His hood fell back and Taurou realized something.

...Boing? BOING? He realized what he was fighting was not a man, but a woman. Her chest exposed and her flawless pale face smiling a sadistic smile. She took out a dagger that slightly protruded from her robe's sleeve. She swung and Taurou drew his blade from his sheath and deflected. They traded blows, Taurou taking a few hits on his back 'cos of his new body. He landed two solid hits on her. One on the shoulder that didn't seem to stop her in the slightest, and one that left open a shallow cut on her cheek. They disengaged and both took a fighting stance. The woman licked her lips clean of blood, and Taurou stared at her, growling.

The woman smiled and mouthed the words, "Smushie." Taurou was confused by the words and the woman tackled him and shoved her exposed chest in his face. SMUSHIE! she yelled and whilst Taurou was distracted, she stabbed at his side, only to have her dagger stuck in the darkness that was his fur. He bit her and they both disengaged once more and backed off. The woman held the bite wound and summoned the golem once more, knocking Taurou off his paws and into one of the columns. He fell and landed on his paws, dazed- As the golem came upon him ready to strike him down.

The first creature jump wildly over Nhieling, charging straight. They were indeed a lot faster than their bigger version, but Nhieling was ready this time. He instantly summon his puppet scythe and cut through the first undead being.
Ahah... Do you think a attak of this level could beat me? Really... Undead aren't so easy to kill you know.

Nhieling look at the beast, that was still not moving and answered : I think it's you who is misunderstanding an important point : Do you know what a living being is made off? The list of the composant is easy to get, but no matter how many time you try, it's impossible to create a living being by using them. Because you can't recreate the soul. Meaning your little thing here would only be alive if you were to control them directly, or to seal a soul into them. Since you seal three of them right in front of me, I just had to severe the tie you've created between the body and the soul to send this thing back to the void.
And sadly, you're really underestimating my power. You think of me as a mere puppeter? I've fed from the soul of my victim for so long that severing a soul like this is a child game for me now.

Back to Erzhik side : Both opponent were fighting evenly, trading blow at an insane speed, but Erzhik couldn't hold the chimera for too long. This extreme rythm was tiring him up too fast.
Erzhik jump back and slap his hand against each others, then an orb of shadow surrounded them.

Summoned battlefield, in this place, there is nothing : No sound, no light... Meaning you can only fight relying on your 6th sense.


[I've made something a little short, but at least you'll be able to answer]

The blade swung down with uncanny speed. Taurou dodged to the side but the speed of the attack struck Taurou's hind legs and sent him sprawling. He hopped back up, his legs throbbing and he growled. The golem hurled a rock at him and he roared. The roar sent a fulgoratio ablicans spell at it and blew apart the rock. The golem was about to strike but Taurou roared again, this time it was an Exarmatio spell and it blew a hole in the wall behind him. The golem came charging after him and he backed up into the hole only to have the golem break through and have the woman exposed.

Seeing her golem break through her wall, she dispelled him so he fell into a pile of rock. Bastard! The woman yelled in a smooth voice. She had no weapon to defend herself with seeing how the knife she fought with was lodged in Pyoh's side. He swung a claw at her and she deflected with a rock that somehow appeared in her hand. She tapped the rock with a shiny stone and it turned into a stone sword, much more deadly than a rock. Taurou and the woman traded blows once more with the weapons, only to be interrupted by a sudden tremor in the battle field. Wisps started to flow out of the ground like mad and the two looked on with terror.

As the wisps appeared, the woman touched Taurou's ear and he looked at her. She said, Even though we were told to kill one another, no reason both of us should die at the hands of something other than each other, no? Taurou nodded in agreement and they both took a fighting stance facing the wisps.

Minutes later, which felt like days, the two of them were still fighting the wisps when the woman collapsed. Taurou saw this and immediately picked her up and hid behind the broken wall she had made. The golem was re-animated so it fought on with vigor, but the woman was badly hurt. Taurou wasn't sure what to do, so he licked her wounds, and everytime he licked one, his magic drained ever so slightly, but they were healing! So once he licked the more serious wounds away, she awoke, covered in sweat. She patted Taurou's nose, Good kitty... She did a kip up and drew her stone sword again, now turned into diamond. When they both emerged from behind the wall, the golem was crushing the last of the wisps. There were many wisps that were now just bright stones on the ground, and only a few remained floating in the air. The woman finished it off and Taurou was ready for the woman to attack him again, knowing that their truce would last only so long.



The woman didn't attack him, but healed his wounds. He nodded his gratitude, still sensing the violence still within the woman's aura. Thank you for helping me, feline. She said after healing her small wounds. Well then. She looked at him. It's time to finish. She swung her diamond sword at Taurou's head and he reacted almost instantly. He was slightly too slow and took the hit on his shoulder. The diamond's purity burned the darkness that was his fur and he roared. The roar took the power of an exarmatio spell and blew her backwards, turning her clothes into flower petals. That pushed her away. She was self conscious now and squealed like a schoolgirl who just fell, exposing her panties.

Taurou didn't stop the attack and pushed forwards, swinging his blade at her. She was totally exposed and he slashed through her left shoulder. She kicked Taurou away and she clutched her shoulder in pain. The golem kicked Taurou away as well as the woman started to cast a spell. Taurou was also casting a spell in his own, magical feline way. He was ready to match her spell with his.

Nhieling was looking at Taurou fight. He was now sitting on his opponent corpse.
Trully out of luck you were... You've fallen on the worst wind of opponent for your skill.
Really, what Taurou was thinking... Did he wanted to loose so badly? Nhieling would have kill her at the first occasion without any second through.

Still immature as a dark mage eh... Muttered him ti himself.
Then Nhieling stood up, and went into the next room. When he came in front of the door, instead of opening it disapear, letting him get into a big lounge.
Letting himself fall on a red sofa, Nhieling took up a drink and open his eyes as soon as he saw someone enter the room.

So finally you're showing up eh...

The man face was all covered with a mask, hiding his identity.

We had big hope in you, black puppeteer Nhieling... And dark mage Zieref.

Nhieling didn't flinched, but he started thinking as fast as he could...


Back to Erzhik side, he was now taking the advantage over the beast. He was a pro fighter, and have survived through a lot of battlefield, this sense isolation place he had summon was his usual training field and he was able to attack and defend effectively even wihout his 5 senses.

The chimera black mage was now attacking randomly around him, trying to get the shadow that was attacking him from every side.


[Lack of inspiration, I'll let you finish your fight at least. If you have a definited idea for the next part just go on, if not I'll devellop a plot]

Taurou and the woman both released their spells at the same time. Taurou's roar was the equivalent to 19 arrows of black lightning all swirling together to hit for one hell of an impact. Whilst the woman cast a spell that seemed to be a fire version of Jovis Tempestas Fulguriens. It couldn't have been that strong of a spell, for the two spells clashed in a large explosion. The explosion flung Taurou backwards and into one of the columns, knocking it down, while it blew large boulders at the woman, crushing her and the golem.

When the cloud of dust subsided after the explosion, Taurou climbed out of the rubble that was once the column. He shook himself and a cloud of dust flew off his fur. His left eye was pouring blood now, and the fur on his nose and under his eye was warm with blood. He limped towards the door that was the exit, while licking his nose to get rid of the blood. He was about to push open the door when everything turned from the battlefield, into a well furnished lounge. There was Nhieling sitting there with a man standing in front of him, staring at him.

Not sure what was going on, Taurou growled at the man standing near his comrade. He was considerably weaker than the man was, but he was going to try and fight anyways. That was, until Taurou felt his magic drawn and all the shadow magic that was his fur, disappeared and he was his normal self again, standing there with a blank gaze in his right eye, whilst his left eye still had the sphere of darkness in it. His left eye was like a fountain as it poured out blood and Taurou clasped both of his hands over it to try and stop the pain that followed the blood. His arms ached as the shadows on them pulsated and black lighting arced, and the man walked over to him and grabbed him by the hair.

Taurou didn't hear what he mumbled, but bared his humanoid version's fangs at the man before he was kicked in the gullet, and thrown against the wall. The man then turned back to Nhieling, handed him something, and teleported out of the room. Well, it wasn't so much as a teleport since the whole room disappeared and the grassy plains of Hellas was once again surrounding Taurou and his companions.

Ugh... He was propped up against a tree, his head, eye, arms, almost his whole body was aching. He was spattered with blood, mostly his own, and tired beyond belief. He imagined the other two weren't as tired as he for he had the strangest and most tiring day. Or so he assumed.

Thank you Nhieling, Erzihk, for working with me to get outta that hell hole. I think... I'm going to rest for a while... He rested his head against the tree trunk, and immediately drifted off into a half unconsciousness, half sleep state.
