Kazgoroth walked out of his rift that had just opened outside of the tavern and started to look around slowly as his rift sealed up behind him. He sensed that something was off and he continued to look to find out what it was. Then, he suddenly heard footsteps a distance behind him and turned his head to see Estagund walking out from behind a tree with both of the swords, that were normally sheathed at his hips, out in his hands. "Well, hello. But I can tell that you aren't here to converse with me. Fine then, Estagund Veldorn. Let us fight." Two claymores appeared in his hands from fire and he turned around completely to face Estagund who nodded his head slightly. "Yes, this should be interesting. Let us fight. Prepare yourself, Kazgoroth!" His blade in his right hand grew out until it eight feet long and the blades on his bracers both grew to one feet long each. Then, he suddenly leapt at Kazgoroth with blinding speed that even surprised Kazgoroth. Kazgoroth swung his claymore to block the eight foot long sword but suddenly missed when the blade suddenly shrank down to normal size and Kazgoroth's claymore sunk a few inches into the ground next to him. Estagund started slicing at Kazgoroth with blazing speed and Kazgoroth knew that it would be extremely hard to block all the attacks since he only had one claymore to use at the moment but he tried anyways and frantically blocked a few of Estagund's attacks. Though, he just wasn't fast enough and he felt himself get cut on his cheek and his arms but he finally wrenched his other claymore out of the ground, sending clumps of dirt flying. Estagund continued slicing at Kazgoroth with blazing speeds and Kazgoroth was hard-pressed, even with both of his claymores now. It was obvious Estagund was faster than Kazgoroth by quite a bit and Estagund had the advantage of not being so big that it got in his way like Kazgoroth did. Kazgoroth may have had strength and sight as an advantage against Estagund but it did nothing if Estagund never gave him a chance to go in the offensive. Kazgoroth felt himself getting nicked and cut all over his body by Estagund's swords. Suddenly, Estagund leapt into the air above Kazgoroth but never stopped attacking. It seemed to go in slow motion for Kazgoroth as he watched Estagund go over him while still attacking with blazing speed. Kazgoroth was even more hard-pressed since he had never fought like this before and it was hard to block the attacks from this angle so his head and shoulders and arms were getting multitudes of nicks and cuts. Kazgoroth started to turn around before Estagund would land but Estagund suddenly used Kazgoroth's cloak against him by tossing it up so it covered Kazgoroth's face. Kazgoroth growled with frustration and the cloak suddenly burst into flames before disappearing in an instant. Kazgoroth didn't want to destroy such a nice gift, especially since it was a gift that he got for the first holiday he ever actually celebrated with people. But losing his sight for more than a couple seconds would have meant death for him. Kazgoroth turned around quickly and had to instantly start blocking the blazing fast slices of Estagund. Kazgoroth was starting to get worried, at this rate he wouldn't even have a chance to even hurt Estagund, much less win this fight. However, Estagund seemed as perfectly calm as someone could in this situation, he wasn't showing any signs of confidence that he was going to win that most people probably would be showing at this point. Kazgoroth growled again and fire started to surround him but Estagund noticed this right away and leapt far back from Kazgoroth, right as he finished the incantation he had been muttering this entire time. "...quod totus vadum cado pro is!" Black tentacles suddenly appeared all around Estagund and Kazgoroth growled with frustration, Estagund was really giving it his all this time. Estagund sheathed his sword that was able to grow before pulling the massive sword off his back. He held it in his right hand but it was quite obvious that even he was having trouble holding the sword up. The tentacles suddenly started to fly at Kazgoroth who started to block them away. The tentacles were now sharp like swords, but luckily for Kazgoroth his claymores were good enough to block them although there were far too many for him at this point. He sliced open a small rift right at the base of his tail and his tail went through before it appeared right in front of his chest where the other side of the rift was at. Sure, this gave him absolutely no mobility but his tail was strong enough to block any tentacles heading for Kazgoroth's chest while he used his claymores to block the ones his tail didn't hit. Estagund started to suddenly spin around and massive energy waves flew out from the massive sword every time he completed a spin. He wouldn't have been able to swing the sword with just one hand but with the momentum from spinning, it would be easy. In the meantime, a sapphire that was in the hand guard of his other sword started to glow bright before water suddenly rose out of the ground and the moisture in the air condensed so water suddenly filled the entire air. Then, the ruby in the hand guard glowed bright as well and fire erupted from the end of the sword and sprayed everywhere through the air, instantly turning all of the water to steam. Sure, this wouldn't inflict any pain to Kazgoroth but it did something very important. The entire air around them was filled with extremely thick steam that was very hard to see through which would make it harder for Kazgoroth to block the tentacles. Kazgoroth growled loudly with frustration at the steam and grunted as the energy waves slammed into him. The energy waves hit more like a very strong blunt object. He was having trouble with blocking the tentacles now with the steam limiting his vision so he couldn't see them until they were close to him. He was now bleeding from multitudes upon multitudes of cuts and nicks but he suddenly burned all of the cuts closed so he wouldn't get weak from loss of blood. Estagund continued to spin where he was standing and now the emerald on his hand guard was glowing bright. Every time the tip of the sword touched the ground, and earth spike erupted near Kazgoroth, who was able to block them by moving his foot where the earth spike was coming so his armor would instantly break it. But now Kazgoroth had multiple things to worry about blocking, though he couldn't block one of the attacks. He had to block the tentacles flying in at his chest with his tail, the ones his tail couldn't reach with his claymores, and the earth spikes coming from below with his feet. But he had no way to block the energy waves slamming against him. Kazgoroth knew that he had no chance at this rate. His movements were starting to gradually slow down and the tentacles nicked and cut him even more. He was now practically covered in his own blood. Some the cuts were getting a bit deep and he would get cut in the same place multiple times. Estagund was just too much for even the mighty Kazgoroth. Estagund wasn't even slowing at all with his spinning, his determination to win was too great to let exhaustion have any effect on him. This was the greatest battle he had ever had and he wasn't going to lose. But there was a slight disappointment in Estagund's mind at how easily Kazgoroth was to beat but he didn't feel Kazgoroth was going his all on him. Then, Kazgoroth roared out suddenly. His actions were suddenly amplified tenfold and he blocked all of the tentacles and earth spikes as if they were nothing to him. The energy waves barely hurt him anymore and he was starting to regenerate all of those cuts and nicks. But Kazgoroth paid a price to do this. He just absorbed the pure power of two million souls in an instant. He knew this was dangerous but he had no choice at this rate. It was either use some souls, or die a horrid death. Estagund would have been grinning if he could at this sudden increase of power he sense from Kazgoroth. This is what this battle was supposed to be about. Estagund kept spinning for just a few more spins before he placed his massive sword back on his back and drew his other sword again. Kazgoroth leapt up into the air so his tail would no longer be in the rift and landed on the ground again, still blocking all of the tentacles that continued to attack him. Kazgoroth growled and charged at Estagund with blazing speeds, blocking all of the tentacles while he charged. Estagund charged at Kazgoroth as well, but now he was a bit slower than Kazgoroth was so Kazgoroth had pretty much every advantage, for now. Unfortunately for Kazgoroth, the souls would be wearing out in a few minutes and then he would be at a disadvantage once again. But that just means Kazgoroth has to end the battle while he has the advantages. The two met and it was obvious who won that clash as Estagund flew away from Kazgoroth when Kazgoroth punched him in the chest. The tentacles kept trying to attack Kazgoroth but they suddenly slowed when Estagund slammed into a tree since his concentration diminished from the blow for a moment and this allowed Kazgoroth another chance to charge at Estagund. Before Estagund could react, one of the claymores disappeared into fire and Kazgoroth grabbed Estagund's scarf before using it to throw estagund into yet another tree, breaking this one. The tentacles disappeared and Estagund laid on the ground, barely able to move though he still had both swords gripped in his hands. Kazgoroth suddenly felt the power from the souls disappear, much quicker than he thought but he had only used the souls once before and it completely obliterated a hut in a moment with the power. He didn't know exactly how long they were supposed to last but he was using the power to a near maximum the entire time so he shouldn't be really that surprised. However, as soon as the power left him, he was utterly exhausted and he collapsed onto the ground, his cuts reopening. He slowly turned his head to look over at Estagund. "So, this is how this battle goes, huh? Neither of us win. Whoever can recover first will win, right? It looks like it will be you. I can't really move, I'm exhausted. You are indeed a master warrior and have earned my complete respect, Estagund Veldorn." Estagund turned his head slowly to face Kazgoroth as well and nodded slightly. "That's what it looks like. I was disappointed at first at how easily I was winning but you did indeed surprise me. I have never met someone who could match me before and you beat me in two hits. You have earned my complete respect as well, Kazgoroth. But, in just a minute I will recover from the hits and kill you. You may have not known this, but you have quite the price on your head and I intend to get that money." Kazgoroth nodded slightly and sighed a bit. "That doesn't surprise me. I'm sorry Sino and Guenhwyvar for losing and forsaking you. I have failed. It is over." He just laid in head on the ground and waited for the inevitable. He closed his eyes and then he heard Estagund start to pull himself up to his feet. "This is how I die. Never thought I would die by the hands of an assassin. To Oblivion I go." Estagund started to slowly limp over to Kazgoroth and was one foot away from him before he froze suddenly, feeling another powerful presence nearby, and it was coming right to them. "Well well well. Kazgoroth. You need to get up now. Someone else is heading our way." Kazgoroth's eyes snapped open at the presence he sensed. Could it really be? "Gorlist!" Estagund turned his head to face Gorlist as he landed a good distance away from the two. "You know him?" Kazgoroth nodded slightly. "My son. Gorlist! Why did you go back?!" Gorlist was completely covered in blood red armor, he even had a helmet on and his tail had armor on it. He roared with laughter and looked over at his father. "Why not?! Hell is so much better than this place that you call home! Oh, the power I have achieved working under Lucifer! The women I now get in Hell are even better than before your selfishness got me killed! You don't even know how much I have been waiting for this day to come when I finally get to kill you for getting me killed! And it looks like it won't be any trouble thanks to that man there!" He pulled his flamberge off his back, which was now blood red as well. Estagund shook his head and then muttered his entire incantation in a moment, black tentacles rising about him. "Sorry to tell you boy. I can't let you kill him. I won't get my satisfaction and the money I want if you kill him. And I don't let anyone get in the way of my money. Same reason I was just about to kill your father here." Kazgoroth's eyes widened when he heard Gorlist and then Estagund. He turned his head to look at Gorlist, surprised by his new attire but he shrugged the thought away. "Gorlist! What about Svetlana?! I thought you loved her! Yet you forsake her to go back to Hell?!" Gorlist leaned his head back and roared with laughter. "Loved her!? Don't be so ignorant! I was tricked by my own emotions! As soon as I slept with Jenna, I realized that I did not love Svetlana! It was all my own emotions playing tricks on me! I am definitely not a one woman man! I was so glad when Phaerun showed up, it gave me the perfect excuse to finally leave!" Estagund shook his head again and dropped one sword before turning and plunging the blade of his right bracer right into Kazgoroth's chest. Kazgoroth's eyes widened in terror for a moment before a strange sensation filled him. Kazgoroth started to feel revived in a sense, the exhaustion lifting from him and his cuts closing. "I want this damn boy to shut up, Kazgoroth. We can work together for now. I will kill you later though. Even if you do run, remember. You will not live as long as you have hoped. Remember." He pulled the blade out and Kazgoroth's chest healed before he slowly stood up. The two claymores appeared in his hands again and he nodded as he looked at Estagund. "I will. But don't think this will be too easy. You sense it too. He is much stronger than I am." Estagund nodded and picked up his sword again, the tentacles still surrounding him. Kazgoroth looked over at Gorlist and narrowed his eyes. "Gorlist! I don't have any trouble believing that you didn't love Svetlana, unfortunately! But that doesn't mean you will walk away from this! I will kill you and you will stay dead this time! Oblivion isn't so kind on escapees! Prepare to die!" Gorlist roared with laughter and suddenly flew at the two opposing him. Kazgoroth's eyes grew wide at the sight. Gorlist was moving too fast. He was just a blur to Kazgoroth. Kazgoroth's hope on killing him sank a little. Even with Estagund, Kazgoroth wasn't sure how this would work. Kazgoroth had no idea how Gorlist could get this fast and strong. This was unreal to him. But Kazgoroth couldn't give up and he held both of his claymores up just in time to block an attack from Gorlist's flamberge. Kazgoroth's growled with frustration and his eyes got wide at the power behind the swing. It even threw Kazgoroth back a few feet and he knew Gorlist almost broke his arms. Estagund was surprised by the speed and power of Gorlist but he didn't seem frightened at all. The tentacles started to fly at Gorlist but whatever ones were even able to hit Gorlist, since he was dodging and blocking even too quick for the tentacles, just hit against the armor. But this was a distraction as Estagund charged at Gorlist and started swinging vigorously and at blazing speeds, though not matching Gorlist's speed. Gorlist blocked the attacks and tentacles with little trouble though Kazgoroth was there again, swinging vigorously at Gorlist with utter determination to kill his own son. Gorlist was able to hold his flamberge with one hand to block the tentacles and sword strikes quite easily with its size and he used his armor to block the other attacks, mainly his forearms and legs while he also tried to punch and kick the two, though they were being just as defensive as offensive and were able to dodge the blows. Sparks were everywhere from the swords clashing with sword or armor and the tentacles clashing with sword or armor. Gorlist was able to move around even though he was using both his feet to block, thanks to his wings which held him up. Kazgoroth growled with frustration at his inability to defeat even his own son but he would not give up yet. He knew there were only two outcomes to this fight. His death or Gorlist's death. And Kazgoroth had a wife and daughter that he needed to live so he could be with them. Gorlist, however, only had himself. His own selfish desires. And his fear of what Lucifer would do to him if he failed. But this motivation didn't equal Kazgoroth's. And then there was Estagund who was still seemed completely calm. His motivation was the same as always, money. That's what he wanted and he needed to kill Kazgoroth himself to get it. But Estagund's motivation of money was different from most. Money was the only thing he had and wanted. It wasn't just selfishness and greed. Money brought him joy, in a certain degree. But it was strong enough to make him not want to lose. And he also had no fear of death. Living for over a million years was quite an achievement and he wouldn't mind death. The battle continued. The sound of metal against metal was extremely loud and continuous. There were also the growls of both Kazgoroth and Gorlist, both of frustration. Gorlist was hoping this would be over already. He had quite a few women waiting in Hell for him. Kazgoroth suddenly roared, deciding to take another risk and consume five million souls. Kazgoroth movements increased hundredfold and Gorlist could no longer keep up with him and Estagund at the same time. Though, he still had his armor to protect him but the new strength of Kazgoroth was too much. Kazgoroth pulled both claymores over his head and slashed down at Gorlist with all his might, the blades crumpled his armor and sliced it open enough so that it fell off. Kazgoroth charged Gorlist and kept hitting him, but only going for the rest of his armor. He wanted to remove the main thing stopping him from winning while he had this amplification of power. Kazgoroth eventually removed all of Gorlist's armor except for his helmet, leg armor, and tail armor. Estagund now charged at Gorlist and slashed down at his arm while the tentacles slashed at him, removing his arms and his lower body instantly which caused Gorlist to roar in agony. But then something really surprising happened, Gorlist's limbs grew back in a mess of blood and his armor was renewed once again, just as Kazgoroth's power from the souls ran out. Gorlist then roared with laughter. "You thought you could win so easily?! I'm not done with you yet!" He gripped his flamberge with both hands and went on the offensive, swinging his flamberge at the two who dodged the attacks considering neither had the strength to block the powerful swings. Then Estagund thought of something and the diamond on the hand guard of his sword started glowing bright before the wind started to whip around, right around Gorlist who was unlucky enough to have his wings. The wind threw Gorlist around for a moment which cause him to drop his flamberge into the ground. The wind stopped and Kazgoroth and Estagund charged at Gorlist as he made it back to the ground, getting ready to get his flamberge. Estagund swung with blazing speeds, even more vigorously than before now that they had the advantage of actual weapons. Kazgoroth did the same with his claymores except his tail started to attack as well. Gorlist was obviously hard-pressed without a weapon to help block the attacks, though he still had his armor. Gorlist knew that Kazgoroth had already figured out to stop his regenerative abilities with simply cauterizing the wounds before he healed them. He felt his left arm fly off and started to regenerate but then the fire burst out and raged against the wound to instantly close the wound before Gorlist had a chance. Gorlist growled with frustration and his fist slammed into Kazgoroth's chest, snapping ribs and sending him through a few trees. Gorlist turned and kicked Estagund in the side, breaking ribs as well but the hit wasn't as intense. He instantly grabbed his flamberge and flew for Kazgoroth, hoping Estagund would be out long enough for him to get Kazgoroth. Kazgoroth was laying on the ground, unable to move since his back broke in the process. He could see Gorlist flying at him and he knew this was definitely the end. Estagund wouldn't be able to save him. Or at least that's what he thought. Estagund was up as soon as he landed after being kicked, his greed not letting him let Kazgoroth die by Gorlist's hands. Estagund knew what he had to do end Gorlist's life and he dropped his swords as he reached up to the headband covering his eye. He pulled it off, revealing his eye was a swirling mass of black and red. As soon as his eye was revealed, the very air in the range of one to ten feet was instantly destroyed along with everything he could see in that range. He sprinted, knowing he needed to move fast to catch Gorlist before he killed Kazgoroth. He kept his eye closed though so he wouldn't ruin the ground that he was running on. Gorlist was to excited about the idea of killing his father to even think about Estagund and as he got close, Estagund was there. Estagund's eye slowly opened and Gorlist instantly disappeared into nothingness. Estagund closed his eye and pulled the headband back on right away before dropping onto the ground, he hated using that power. Only a couple times has it happened, and it was when he was very young and stupid. But now, he had no choice. He turned his head to face Kazgoroth but it was already too late. Kazgoroth was gone. He had sliced open a rift underneath him and had fallen through, the rift already closed. Though, he burned a note into the ground next to where he had been saying. "Thank you, Estagund Veldorn for saving me but I can not allow you to kill me. I have my family. But I have now decided that I can't return to the tavern. It is too dangerous. Lucifer's minion is dead and you know where I would be. But accept this payment for killing him. You are indeed a master." Then a rift appeared next to Estagund and a huge pile of gold and precious jewels appeared. Why Kazgoroth wrote the note is completely unknown even to himself considering he knew Estagund wouldn't be able to read it. But Estagund was satisfied with the money he heard and felt. So he got up and gathered his swords before returning to the money. He pulled out a small bag on his hip and started to gather the money. The bag could hold all of it even though it didn't seem like it could. Estagund didn't need to read the note to know that he wouldn't be seeing Kazgoroth here anymore. So he just sprinted off into the distance to resume his job as master assassin.
