"Listen, Decus..." Xuza was beginning to show her fear outwardly now; she had taken a step back, putting about ten feet between them again, and raising her hand tried to stem the tide of memories and hurt rushing at her as this mentor-esque figure tried to take on the persona of her arch-enemy. "You seem like a cool guy and everything, and I'm sure you have your reasons for doing whatever it is you do, but I could never fight you like I fight that--that thing..."
Something of a snarl appeared on the meister's lip as she mentioned Paradox. She drew her sword and readied herself unsteadily for the session.

Decus Etross Tsukikage Tōshin("God of the Sword")
The worst part about being strong is that no one ever asks if you're ok.
Decus outfit immediately changes as he releases his power. While one would expected a warlock to summon thier grimoire the magical rune that Decus has on his right hand and along his arm radiates with power. From his hand he summons a falchion-esque sword, with red, purple and blue blades shaped like a demonic wing. Its handle bears the eye of the demon and the handle itself consists of dark braids. He brandishes it a prepares to engage Xuza.
" When there is evil in this world that justice cannot defeat, would you taint your hands with evil to defeat evil? Or would you remain steadfast and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil? I've fought her before and the way you are now.... you don't stand a chance of defeating her if your still scared of someone like me or my siblings.
"
Active Techniques: None.
Mikazuki Rasengan(Three Days' Moon Spiralling Sphere) - Decus creates a white,or black orb of dense lunar energy that shines with a blinding white light,or contains a darkness deeper than night. This orb then forms a crescent moon with a star in the center. Decus must then make physical contact with the opponent similar to a Soul Menace technique.This tends to launch the target spiraling backward after being hit or, if the target is lying on the ground they will launched to the ground, the destructive force is enough to form a crater. Decus is able to throw the Rasengan, making it a mid-range projectile technique also. This is his most common technique.
Atsu ( Pressure): -Decus's signature technique that allows him to manipulate the shockwaves by channeling his power through his sword. He can send the shockwaves by swinging or just simply moving his sword. The direction of the force can be upwards, downwards, or sideways,but he is only able to only use one direction at a time. 4 post cool down. A variation of this is when Decus unleashes an almighty slash, releasing a powerful blade of pressure that appears as faint ripples of wind at his foe at high speeds; this attack enables Decus to assault things which are out of his sword's range, sending slashes which fly through the air itself. These blades of wind possess incredible range and devastating power; and Decus has mastered this ability to the point that it can cut through most barriers of magical energy.
(Kansō; lit. Express Equipmentary) - Like his sister Decus can use Kansō. This can be used for simple or for combat-related purposes. Decus is more skilled in using it, as he can equip different weapons in battle with in rapid succession,but cannot equip armor at the same rate. 1 post cool down for weapons.
Demonic Possession Magic: - This particular form of Magic allows the user to assimilate the powers and forms of different demons by touch. This magic gives Decus a variety of different abilities such as flight, enhanced speed, strength, reflexes etc depending on the demon. Decus has also shown a versatile use, allowing him to use the natural powers of the demons he's killed without fully taking their form. However, Decus must actually have defeated the demon before being able to use their form.
Demonic Possession,Tsuki Shugoshin (Moon, Guardian Deity): - When the Twin Moon sister finally established the Clan it was said they each had one champion disciple. Each mastering Yin or Yang respectively,and becoming the first masters of the Yakō,and Yaso . In this form Decus can command the Yin and Yang with in himself at will with great control. The main ability being that the Yin he exudes purifies evil,while the Yang uses evil to empower the user. However,this form can only be maintained at night and is affected by the moons presence. (Last 8 post 7 post cool down)
Demonic Possession,Tsuki no Usagi(Moon Rabbit):: -This demonic possession is one where enhanced Ying-Yang energy morphs his body incredibly as well to grant him demonic levels of strength. After an explosion of raw power, Decus appears older as far a physical body structure. His skin becomes the color of dark chocolate,hair is turned pure silver, elongated to run down past his shoulders. Aster gains appendages atop his head that strangely resemble ears,as well as blade-like protrusions coming out from his forearms. In this form he utilizes a advance form of Atsu. This is a technique that provides him with the ability to project his power using glyphs,but he only has dominion within the space the glyph inhabits. (last 7 post 6 post cool down)
Harmony of the Twin Moon: - Decus draws the Twin Moon swords and strikes them together producing a magnificent sound. Afterward the glyph of his Palm appears under him, and white-black flames of Lunar energy erupt from the ground. The flames cries out an eerie moan immediately followed by the sound of prayer chants in the form of a hymn that echoes throughout the immediate area, often confusing those who witness the transformation process.During the hymn itself, Decus's is encase in a sphere and his skin turns pure white. His powers proceeded to merge into one form, one that combined aspects from both his demonic and lunar traits in a perfect harmony. As the hymn nears its end,his Palm becomes golden and spreads over the sphere like runes.Once he channels his Lunar power thru his swords he makes a diagonal swing that causes the sphere to shatter like glass and reveal his forms true beauty. He gains a skeletal mask with horns,and his coat an hair both turn white with black ruffles on the cuffs and edges of the robe, as well as gains a long, black horn with a portion of bone covering left side of his head.(last 10 post 5 post cool down).
Meidō Zangetsuha (Dark Path Slashing Moon Wave) - Decus concentrates and condenses a lot of negative energy before releasing it at the tip of the blade, magnifying the slash attack, that flies forward. This slash takes the shape of a crescent moon or wave. Decus has used this technique in several different manners, such as striking the ground to create an omnidirectional blast to knock away incoming attacks or slashing at the ground to upturn it and crush everything in its path, or a barrage of blades that ripped apart whatever they hit. The energy used is very heavy and dense,and gains momentum the longer it travels.( 1 post to invoke the technique into the blade. 2post cool down for small-medium crescents,4 for a large crescent/arc.)
But that wouldn't do much to anger her. While there was some truth in what Decus had said--if at all utilitarian--Xuza was not going to jump to the same conclusion immediately; herself being brought up in a very conservative family. She started to run, using her teleportation to stay far away from Decus; and, of course, she had taken note of how his power increased; she factored that into what he said about fighting Paradox.

Decus Etross Tsukikage Tōshin("God of the Sword")
The worst part about being strong is that no one ever asks if you're ok.
Decus closes the distance between them quickly, appearing at her side somehow as she teleported. Unlike his sister Lumina he was far more adept at vitalizing his body with his wavelength. He did feel somewhat bad for what he said but Xuza had asked for his help. As harsh as it might seem at the moment the warlocks track record spoke for itself. In truth if he ran into Paradox first he wouldn't hesitate: as such a thing usually leads to death against witches and other beings like that. So if she really wanted to make the witch pay then she would need to harden herself.
" I know how it feels.....all the hurt and anger hiding behind the smiles. Solely focusing on eradicating the one that made you go thru all that pain. Making friends to try to cope, when deep down you know it is simply a way to dull the pain temporarily. Constantly holding back will only hurt you. You cannot run forever. "

The meister did her best to avoid the attack(s) brought on her by Decus, but unfortunately that didn't seem like a possibility today; being much outclassed, she took damage and whimpered as she tried to scamper away. She wouldn't let Paradox have control of this fight too. Whenever she used the witch as motivation for her own goals she felt... Unclean.
Xuza pleaded for Decus to relent, that there must have been a better way to train than to draw on her greatest fears--maybe a nice, 'normal' session? Regardless, the winged one was cast off like a scratchy sweater in summer. She hit the ground with a dull thud, and it was here that it started to happen.
Kill or be killed, eh chica? As long he doesn't interfere with the objective, he shouldn't be of any concern--ignore him. Just make sure you don't--
"That's IT!" Xuza had stamped her way up to standing again, eyes cold and hot at once, wings whipping up a bloody, inky cloud.
"You know how many times I've tried to kill that witch? Huh! Because it's a lot. And I'll tell you one thing," she said, ranting to no one in particular, "I thought it was bad enough. I thought, 'hey, this is enough suffering for one person to endure--get your family killed, see the bodies there at your feet, watch the killer taunt you again and again and again--' I thought it was enough. But no! Now I have voices--VOICES. Now I'm one of those people... So I'll let you know something: I'm tired."
"I'm tired of hunting her down, I'm tired of losing sleep, and I'm sure as hell tired of being labeled that weird girl who talks to herself. It's gotten to the point where I'll do anything to make it stop; if that happens to include putting some damage on you, then that's just how it's gonna have to be--that what you want, Mr. Toughguy?" Despite her even temperament earlier, Xuza had been pushed over the edge (finally).
Full of renewed vigor, the meister launched herself at Decus with speed not shown before. Her sword carried around it a heavy magnetic field; the excess energy wasn't meant to bind to anything, but was meant to have a powerful discharge upon contact. She would try her best to disrupt Decus' guard.

Decus Etross Tsukikage Tōshin("God of the Sword")
The worst part about being strong is that no one ever asks if you're ok.
Decus face remains neutral during Xuza's sudden surge of speed. The calmness of his face was somewhat unnerving. An ordinary opponent would show some form of distress while receiving the wounds Xuza scored but the warlocks face never wavered. After all he had asked for it. Still his skill with the sword was nothing to laugh at. Even with Xuza's speed he was able to keep the pace.
" This is the world you've stuck yourself into, if you aren't strong enough to lead, then you lose the privilege of getting what you want. You must fight to get what you want, and kill whoever gets in the way. If you lack the conviction to do that.......then you'll never get anywhere. "
As there weapon class something strange begins to happen. Though the power Decus exuded had been minimal at the start of the fight it seemed to have grown exponentially within a few moments. While his sister could naturally ensued a purification aura, Decus could naturally absorb negative feelings and energies for power. As he became more acclimated to Xuza's fighting style the battle began to turn more in his favor. Each parry and strike was perfectly timed; even a missed attack quickly transitioned into a block. The shockwaves from his sword strikes acted as a counter to Xuza's magnetic discharge.
" From here on, you can forget about sympathy. You'll fight until your on of us is dead or incapacitated - I don't care which. "

For whatever reason, the meister had started to lose ground on her initial push. What started out as a good attempt now seemed to be momentum against her. Where she was confident, triumphant even, before she was now a bit unnerved by the static focus her opponent displayed. Even her most swift attacks were starting to be read and dealt with rather easily now, and Xuza found it all she could do to hold off his advances.
'What the heck!" she thought as she locked blades with the warlock. "He must've been toying with me before."
Xuza allowed herself to tumble off and warp some fifty meters away. She was breathing much harder than Decus, and her knuckles were as ivory knobs in the hilt of her weapon.
"Fine by me!" she barked back, not even really taking in what had been said. She searched for and found her metal bearings, holding them in the air with her magnetic powers. The meister then sent them at Decus, whirling around him with impressive speed as she herself started flying and warping rapidly around her opponent. The aim was to send these little spheres at him while being able to view many angles in a short amount of time. She had her sword ready just in case, but her mind was quite occupied coordinating this attack.
Decus Etross Tsukikage Tōshin ("God of the Sword")
The worst part about being strong is that no one ever asks if you're ok.
As they fought the warlock had been analyzing his opponents body; familiarizing himself with Xuza's movements. In essence "reading" an Xuza before she got the opportunity to actually enact her actions. Of course doing so had left him more susceptible to damage but such things were trivial in his eyes. As Xuza backs away Decus instantly changes his attire. The new armors most notable feature is the polished golden mask , which is set in the shape of a stylized Sun with nine circular indentations arrayed symmetrically across the mask's face. The armor consist of a white robe draped in gold lined patterns that extend over the sleeves, hood and coat. The robe also features red diamond-shaped patterns that run down along the chest to form a chain at the legs and also down his sides. The robe itself features gold rings of metal around the base of the arms and also splits apart just below the waist to allow for fluid movement in combat. For footwear the armor provides white-leather gold-toed boots with heels, making him appear somewhat feminine, but eloquently stylized and tall. In a flash of light his falchion is replaced with a double-bladed glaive.
" Why do you insist on keeping such distance from me? If you wish to make a decisive strike, you should do so at point-blank range. Or perhaps you are afraid of moving in too close. Very well then. Prepare yourself. "
Decus begins to spin the glaive like a windmill before splitting the glaive into two separate blades and began taking on Xuza's assault head on. The faster he begins to move; his sword releases pressure that appears as ripples of wind flying towards his foe at high high speed. Unlike his sisters Decus was cold,calculating , and methodical. If Xuza wasn't careful she could really get hurt. Even so the warlock was taking on more damage than on might think bout physically and mentally. All those negative emotions were prodding at his psyche.
-A double-bladed glaive, which appears to be made of polished gold and ivory that was created in a way that it increases its powers when cutting a evil spirit or demon. The glaive was forged from the gold of the two sacred wells of the Twin Moon Clan,the and is known to be able to stand up against powerful demonic and magical beings. The glaive is also capable of splitting the weapon into two smaller swords, allowing for quick slashing attacks.
b]Robe of the Lunar Sage: -The armors most notable feature is the polished golden mask , which is set in the shape of a stylized Sun with nine circular indentations arrayed symmetrically across the mask's face. The armor consist of a white robe draped in gold lined patterns that extend over the sleeves, hood and coat. The robe also features red diamond-shaped patterns that run down along the chest to form a chain at the legs and also down his sides. The robe itself features gold rings of metal around the base of the arms and also splits apart just below the waist to allow for fluid movement in combat. For footwear the armor provides white-leather gold-toed boots with heels, making him appear somewhat feminine, but eloquently stylized and tall. It offers great defense against demonic energies. As a cosmetic affect if Decus sheds blood it promptly turns into golden feathers before disappearing.
Active Techniques/Abilities: Atsu.
Yōgōdō Kiyome (, " Yang Assimilaton of the Body" : Due the the blessing of the Twin Moon sisters Decus's can use negative energies to enhance his body physically,and has a natural resistance to them. This is built on the conception of altering ratios between Yang and Yin on the body itself. Decus basically makes Yang more dominant than Yin in every part of his body, while leaving a very small Yin amount. This would enhance his bodies physical attributes at the cost of clouding his mind. Using this for extended periods of time can even lead to Decus succumbing to madness.
Eye of the Swordsman: This innate ability is one that is relatively simple in nature, but complicated in use. The Eye allows any possessing this skill to accurately gauge the fighting ability of their opponent, not by Spiritual Energy but rather by body language and the subconscious signals one gives off from their body. This also allows Decus to somewhat predict the movements of his opponents moments before they occur by analyzing their bodies and familiarizing himself with the motions of an opponent, in essence "reading" an opponent before they get the opportunity to actually enact their actions. This ability is simply result from the immense amounts of experience that Decus possesses in the field of swordsmanship. That being said, these may be taught to others through rigorous training and instruction yet may not be copied as it is not truly an "ability" rather a process done subconsciously.

While he was transforming, Xuza was building up her resin--whatever it should be called--that gave her the ability to influence electromagnetism--this meant flying, lightning arcs, etc. Granted it took almost no time for the warlock to do this, but Xuza was moving very quickly at this point.
All the more distracted and caught off she was when she was faced with her aggressor again. In a blink Decus was upon her again, passing right by all the attacks to press the attack again. Xuza attempted to block his attack, to no avail; her rapier snapped in half and she was left to regroup. This meant thinking quickly, which meant pulling a fresh, stronger cutlass from the wall. She would try to fend off Decus as best she could with that without taking on too much damage, but this also meant she was being pushed back.
Decus Etross Tsukikage Tōshin ("God of the Sword")
The worst part about being strong is that no one ever asks if you're ok.
Decus wastes no time in pursuing Xuza. Somehow he seemed faster than before; his body movements constantly shifting into after images. He had recombined his weapon and seamlessly transition into a new style of attack.
" Your not going to get anywhere with such a crudely made weapon. Use everything you have! Your fighting to live! "
As he advances he makes quick stabs at Xuza in order to put the pressure on. The warlock was slowly feeling himself be drawn into madness. Using his opponents negative feelings came with steep potential consequences. Still the warlock pressed on. .
-A double-bladed glaive, which appears to be made of polished gold and ivory that was created in a way that it increases its powers when cutting a evil spirit or demon. The glaive was forged from the gold of the two sacred wells of the Twin Moon Clan,the and is known to be able to stand up against powerful demonic and magical beings. The glaive is also capable of splitting the weapon into two smaller swords, allowing for quick slashing attacks.
b]Robe of the Lunar Sage: -The armors most notable feature is the polished golden mask , which is set in the shape of a stylized Sun with nine circular indentations arrayed symmetrically across the mask's face. The armor consist of a white robe draped in gold lined patterns that extend over the sleeves, hood and coat. The robe also features red diamond-shaped patterns that run down along the chest to form a chain at the legs and also down his sides. The robe itself features gold rings of metal around the base of the arms and also splits apart just below the waist to allow for fluid movement in combat. For footwear the armor provides white-leather gold-toed boots with heels, making him appear somewhat feminine, but eloquently stylized and tall. It offers great defense against demonic energies. As a cosmetic affect if Decus sheds blood it promptly turns into golden feathers before disappearing.
Active Techniques/Abilities: Atsu.
Yōgōdō Kiyome (, " Yang Assimilaton of the Body" : Due the the blessing of the Twin Moon sisters Decus's can use negative energies to enhance his body physically,and has a natural resistance to them. This is built on the conception of altering ratios between Yang and Yin on the body itself. Decus basically makes Yang more dominant than Yin in every part of his body, while leaving a very small Yin amount. This would enhance his bodies physical attributes at the cost of clouding his mind. Using this for extended periods of time can even lead to Decus succumbing to madness.
Eye of the Swordsman: This innate ability is one that is relatively simple in nature, but complicated in use. The Eye allows any possessing this skill to accurately gauge the fighting ability of their opponent, not by Spiritual Energy but rather by body language and the subconscious signals one gives off from their body. This also allows Decus to somewhat predict the movements of his opponents moments before they occur by analyzing their bodies and familiarizing himself with the motions of an opponent, in essence "reading" an opponent before they get the opportunity to actually enact their actions. This ability is simply result from the immense amounts of experience that Decus possesses in the field of swordsmanship. That being said, these may be taught to others through rigorous training and instruction yet may not be copied as it is not truly an "ability" rather a process done subconsciously.
--------------------------------------------------------- Mikazuki Rasengan(Three Days' Moon Spiralling Sphere) - Decus creates a white,or black orb of dense lunar energy that shines with a blinding white light,or contains a darkness deeper than night. This orb then forms a crescent moon with a star in the center. Decus must then make physical contact with the opponent similar to a Soul Menace technique.This tends to launch the target spiraling backward after being hit or, if the target is lying on the ground they will launched to the ground, the destructive force is enough to form a crater. Decus is able to throw the Rasengan, making it a mid-range projectile technique also. This is his most common technique.
Atsu ( Pressure): -Decus's signature technique that allows him to manipulate the shockwaves by channeling his power through his sword. He can send the shockwaves by swinging or just simply moving his sword. The direction of the force can be upwards, downwards, or sideways,but he is only able to only use one direction at a time. 4 post cool down. A variation of this is when Decus unleashes an almighty slash, releasing a powerful blade of pressure that appears as faint ripples of wind at his foe at high speeds; this attack enables Decus to assault things which are out of his sword's range, sending slashes which fly through the air itself. These blades of wind possess incredible range and devastating power; and Decus has mastered this ability to the point that it can cut through most barriers of magical energy.
(Kansō; lit. Express Equipmentary) - Like his sister Decus can use Kansō. This can be used for simple or for combat-related purposes. Decus is more skilled in using it, as he can equip different weapons in battle with in rapid succession,but cannot equip armor at the same rate. 1 post cool down for weapons.
Demonic Possession Magic: - This particular form of Magic allows the user to assimilate the powers and forms of different demons by touch. This magic gives Decus a variety of different abilities such as flight, enhanced speed, strength, reflexes etc depending on the demon. Decus has also shown a versatile use, allowing him to use the natural powers of the demons he's killed without fully taking their form. However, Decus must actually have defeated the demon before being able to use their form.
Demonic Possession,Tsuki Shugoshin (Moon, Guardian Deity): - When the Twin Moon sister finally established the Clan it was said they each had one champion disciple. Each mastering Yin or Yang respectively,and becoming the first masters of the Yakō,and Yaso . In this form Decus can command the Yin and Yang with in himself at will with great control. The main ability being that the Yin he exudes purifies evil,while the Yang uses evil to empower the user. However,this form can only be maintained at night and is affected by the moons presence. (Last 8 post 7 post cool down)
Demonic Possession,Tsuki no Usagi(Moon Rabbit):: -This demonic possession is one where enhanced Ying-Yang energy morphs his body incredibly as well to grant him demonic levels of strength. After an explosion of raw power, Decus appears older as far a physical body structure. His skin becomes the color of dark chocolate,hair is turned pure silver, elongated to run down past his shoulders. Aster gains appendages atop his head that strangely resemble ears,as well as blade-like protrusions coming out from his forearms. In this form he utilizes a advance form of Atsu. This is a technique that provides him with the ability to project his power using glyphs,but he only has dominion within the space the glyph inhabits. (last 7 post 6 post cool down)
Harmony of the Twin Moon: - Decus draws the Twin Moon swords and strikes them together producing a magnificent sound. Afterward the glyph of his Palm appears under him, and white-black flames of Lunar energy erupt from the ground. The flames cries out an eerie moan immediately followed by the sound of prayer chants in the form of a hymn that echoes throughout the immediate area, often confusing those who witness the transformation process.During the hymn itself, Decus's is encase in a sphere and his skin turns pure white. His powers proceeded to merge into one form, one that combined aspects from both his demonic and lunar traits in a perfect harmony. As the hymn nears its end,his Palm becomes golden and spreads over the sphere like runes.Once he channels his Lunar power thru his swords he makes a diagonal swing that causes the sphere to shatter like glass and reveal his forms true beauty. He gains a skeletal mask with horns,and his coat an hair both turn white with black ruffles on the cuffs and edges of the robe, as well as gains a long, black horn with a portion of bone covering left side of his head.(last 10 post 5 post cool down).
Meidō Zangetsuha (Dark Path Slashing Moon Wave) - Decus concentrates and condenses a lot of negative energy before releasing it at the tip of the blade, magnifying the slash attack, that flies forward. This slash takes the shape of a crescent moon or wave. Decus has used this technique in several different manners, such as striking the ground to create an omnidirectional blast to knock away incoming attacks or slashing at the ground to upturn it and crush everything in its path, or a barrage of blades that ripped apart whatever they hit. The energy used is very heavy and dense,and gains momentum the longer it travels.( 1 post to invoke the technique into the blade. 2post cool down for small-medium crescents,4 for a large crescent/arc.)
"Shut up!" Growled Xuza. She cursed aloud; she cursed herself for not being more competent, more confident, more... Well, anyway, she knew what the writing said: she was out of her league. She learned it again and again as her body was pierced by the warlock's blade.
She reeled back, the force of the strikes enough to stop her attack completely. She began to fall. In her mind her counter attack was a desperate attempt to wrest control of the situation away from Decus by holding his sword arm, still plunged in her, and pulling him in for a crushing blow...
However, sometimes illusions are not reality, even in a world where witches roam freely. Xuza's eyes grew dull; the life had drained from her like the yolk from an egg, and she left to shatter under the force of the fall.
And there she would remain for a long, deathly pause. Blood was outlining her small frame now. She only moved in twitches; her wings tangled and writhed in the air.
Xuza was confronted by a thousand demons; all of them looked like warlocks and witches, and they killed off her friends again and again before turning their undeniable blades on her. She heard the voices of those who had no face but a familiarity that cannot be duplicated. She was clawing at the sand, gripping it weakly in her hands...

Decus Etross Tsukikage Tōshin ("God of the Sword")
The worst part about being strong is that no one ever asks if you're ok.
Decus feels the life begin to drain from Xuza. Maybe he had taken this to far. Around them the students were beginning to look worried. Surely no one would kill someone out in the open like that here. Decus removes his blade and lets Xuza's body fall to a heap. Deep down something in his head was laughing wildly. This one really thinks she can beat Paradox. Hahahahah. it said. Decus shakes off this voice and summons his first weapon. He then quickly begins making odd motions with his hands;the magic flowing between his then giving of a slight haze. After a moment his sword then begins to drain Xuza of the negativity growing with in her. Hopefully it would allow her soul enough strength to heal and boost the girls power. The rest would be up to her.
" All this raw emotion inside of you. It's pressure is like being trapped at the bottom of an ocean. It's unfortunate you had to carry all this pain inside Xuza. You will only die again, my friend unless your able to completely eradicate your inner demons. Challenge me again when you are ready to do. I'll be waiting at the Tower of Heaven. "
As he finishes his swords appearances changes drastically. Standing next to Decus is the form of a girl grinning evilly. The two vanish as the schools nurses and teachers arrive.
