Liu VS Niflheim [Greece Tournament Event]

A massive power spike soon presented itself in the endless city, timed with a crimson vortex that had appeared from the sky. Niflheim had already reacted to it by the time that the likes of liu had sporadically appeared infront of her, her body shifted ever so slightly back one foot planted firmly against the glass while her silver eyes glanced at the demon, momentarily suprised by the speed in which they had singled her out, and then even more so the amount of time that it took for them to transverse the distance between them. It had all happened in a span of time shorter than what it took for a person to blink, this was the first indicator to her just how powerful her opponent this time was, even if they seemed a tad. . . Strange. So the quincy elect prepared quickly for what undoubtedly would be a rough first encounter however, as the likes of the elect paused, assessed and looked at the demon they seemed to be rather keen to get to know her. The words that left the mouth of this female demon continued to perplex the elect, as she didn’t really understand what was going on. The very concept that any individual in a fight would stop to chat was alien to the quincy’s leader. Battles to her had a very select outcome, one which was not reached by piddling thumbs and going out for tea so to speak.


However the elect’s courteous nature led to her not blanching at the site of the demon’s fanged smile. Instead her lips parted to give the individual the smallest of smiles in return. Closed, guarded even, but a smile which spoke of reciprocated kindness, albiet the bare minimum that was necessary. Then the demon did something else, that confused and stunned the likes of the elect. Grasping niflheim’s hand and shaking it up and down enthusiastically as if this wasn’t a battle and instead was a meeting between friends. It confused the elect but she went along with it none the less, simply because it was courteous to do so. And eventually yes eventually the demon got to the very point it had been pursuing this entire time! It became apparent to the elect and she exhaled, lips parting as she wondered if this really was the only path that was needed. To fight , to break to conquer to win. She had all these thoughts yet she pushed each one into the back of her mind as she said quite pointedly


”..My name is Niflheim. My purpose here is to liberate my people from the shackles of the past that bind them. To gain the strength ultimately necessary to protect them and usher them into a new age of prosperity. No matter what i must sacrifice in order to do so, that is my goal. “


She would not even bat an eyelash as she continued to maintain the cool exterior that gave her “perfect” personality the misnomer “The Shell”. It was as if the person being viewed was a programmed doll, that had unerringly gotten here without emotion or feeling. So when the demon turned her back to the elect the elect had paused. As unintentional as it may be turning your back on another was a sign of arrogance if they were an enemy. It said “You cannot hurt me” it meant “You are not a threat”. So to see the careless contrast between the words that this demon spoke and the actions she undertook caused for the elect to exhale, energy pulsating through her body as she quelled the rage and disgust at such a gesture that naturally blossomed into her heart. She waited her bow at her side to see what would happen. Against her better judgement for normally she’d already have went on the offense by this point.


Now the elect saw Liu’s hand gesture and then heard the words that slid from her mouth and the elect had felt her eyes glimmer dangerously. As she thought to herself [i]”She wishes to test me huh?”[/b] This thought made the energy take a dangerous increase in the elects body, energy began to grow, subtly encasing her in a glow of reishi as she simply walked up to the likes of the demon and as her energy began to encompass roughly a mile and a quarter around the two of them she simply put her hand on the back of the demons body, she then proceeded to shove the demon over flat on her face, her body being amplified by her blut to increase her strength by four times it’s norm. However for now there was no spiritual attack behind it. Why? That was simple, the elect was a warrior, who had been born in the land of the samurai a thousand years ago, she would not take advantage of a foe and would state as such now.


”..Despite how tempting your offer is, i cannot attack someone who is willingly letting themselves get hit, if you wish to test the mettle of my soul, Then come at me, with all your might. I will return the gesture in kind Liu. “


And she meant it, if Liu wished to come at her, to break her to fight her with every ounce of her being? Then Niflheim would fight her with everything she possessed. From the smallest droplets of power, to the untapped potential that lay beneath her skin, tooth and nail she would fight the likes of Liu, and she would do so gladly. Because that was what this tournament was about, and for her on a personal level this was a battlefield in which she would grow stronger, no she had to grow stronger. It was the reason she joined in the first place, to gain strength so she could truly lead her people, to protect them and to see them prosper. For that she needed to be able to fight monsters such as Liu, and most likely this iron spirit and intent would be conveyed through the glimmer of her eyes, through her honest posture and intent.








Hopefully the demon would understand this and not try the useless sentiment of seeing how strong niflheim wise. Since niflheim didn’t come here to strike someones back, she came here to fight them face to face, to learn and to advance. To feel the misery of defeat the anguish of being overpowered, and to push past all those to become a better leader, and a better person. Actions would be the melody in which these two spoke, not words, not hopes, not dreams. Just a brutal conversation meted out in flesh.
