30 Dance of Insanity (Part 1)

Amari wasted no time, kicking Andromeda as hard as she could, hundreds of her bones snapping as she flew across the great hall at incredible speeds, however, her limbs snapped into irregular positions as she landed on all fours. Snapping her head around to stare at them with that sickening grin.

"Loves me~" Her body vibrated as bones and joints snapped back into place.

Amari tossed Ai to Hoat'l, who was still floating in the air. "Take her and get the fuck away from here, now!" She yelled out as she summoned Freyr to her hands. "Kenji, this is gonna be the toughest enemy you have ever faced. Don't hold back for even a second, got it?"

Kenji nodded as he drew his wakizashi and the jade blade. Fear gripped his heart, he knew that Amari wasn't joking, watching this insane woman get absolutely pulverized by her, only to get back up like it was nothing. This was going to be a fight to the death.

"But, why?" Andromeda asked, dropping her grin, her torn cheeks still bleeding out, replaced with a look of confusion. She disappeared and reappeared in front of Amari again, sending out a punch that destroyed her hand on Amari's blade as she had managed to block the attack. This time, the sword took the full force of the attack without any damage.

"But why!?" Her face changed again, this time to anger, as she sent out punch after punch towards Amari. Kenji could barely keep up just watching, and Amari had barely managed to block each strike with her blade every time, shattering Andromeda's hands, and every time, they would vibrate back to normal.

"Why do you resist!" The anger in her face grew more intense as she sent a kick towards Amari, this time it was too fast. Kenji saw this and sent a massive force of wind at Andromeda, only barely able to knock her back, but just enough for the kick to miss Amari by the width of a hair.

Suddenly, Andromeda completely disappeared. Kenji heard a giggle behind him as he swung his wakizashi, sending forth a powerful shockwave, creating a massive gash along the wall, but she wasn't there. "But you know~" Using [Flash Step] at the last possible second, Kenji narrowly avoided Andromeda's hand as it was shaped like a spear. Just a split second too slow and he would have been impaled. Amari knew that she would have been regardless, luckily Kenji was just slightly faster than her.

"The only one who can kill me~" Another [Flash Step], another near miss.

"The only one who can love me~" Kenji had enough. "[Wind Domain]!" Countless invisible slashes surrounded him, creating a perfect offensive barrier, but the sickening sound of flesh and bone being ripped apart could be heard as a mangled spear-hand pierced his stomach, even with her body being torn to pieces in front of him, a fleshless, bloody grin gazed into his eyes mere inches away.

"Is~ al~rea~dy~ mine~"

*PUSHI*

A massive sword came down from above, cleaving Andromeda in half, blood spewing forth like a geyser, the sword flew back up into the sky as Amari suddenly appeared behind her, another powerful kick connecting to the two halves, sending the bloody mess flying across the room and tumbling to the ground, lifeless.

Kenji gripped his stomach, finally able to focus on the pain, he stared at the mangled, unmoving corpse, afraid that it might get back up at any moment. He opened his palm, a circle appearing above his hand, he channeled his mana through it as the hole in his stomach slowly closed.

Amari dropped to her knees, clutching her chest. Was it finally over? Was the bitch finally dead?

A playful giggle from behind them reignited their worst fears, Amari was the first to look back, and Kenji saw the horrified expression on her face. Turning to face the source of the horrifying sound, he saw a blue dress, stained with blood, as Ai dropped Hoat'l's bloody body down to the ground, that wicked, sadistic, bloody grin on her face.

"Al~rea~dy~ Hers~" She said with another playful giggle.

Freyr dropped from high up in the air in a loud clattering sound. Amari stared lifelessly at her little sister. She had already lost the will to fight.

Skipping past the two joyfully, Ai approached Andromeda's mangled corpse and picked up her head. "Ah, wake up sleepyhead, there is so much to do~" She said as she kissed the flayed lips, and as she pulled away, the mouth of the severed head began to move. "Ah, of course, love! I'd prefer it if you had a body too~" She said as she laid the head next to the rest of the body.

The limbs began to twitch and bend, worming their way back together as different parts of the body began to vibrate and rattle systematically, bones snapping back into their proper places, flesh starting to grow rapidly in the properly connected places until eventually, the body stood back up with its head in its hands. She reached out with the head facing Ai as she giggled and kissed the head again before the body placed the head back on its neck.

Amari watched the scene unfold with the same dead eyes. But Kenji couldn't take it anymore, this madness had to stop, gripping his swords, he charged forward towards the two insane girls, preparing to swing his wakizashi again, until Amari suddenly appeared in front of him, staring at him with those dead eyes. "Please, don't hurt my sis." She pleaded weakly.

Ai giggled and walked up to Amari, hugging her from behind. "Ah, my big, strong sis came to protect me~ Love, I think we might just need to let her live~" Blood dripped down Amari's stomach as the stumps of Ai's arms caressed Amari's chest.

Andromeda came up from behind Ai, wrapping her arms around them both. "Maybe I can make an exception for such a loving, protective big sis~" Tears could be seen rolling down Amari's face, even though she made no sound.

Kenji gripped his blades hard, the leather creaked under the strain, before he dropped both of his swords. 'Sorry, Amari, I can't do this anymore.' He thought as he dropped to his knees and closed his eyes, he felt he was ready to accept death, but that nagging feeling of destiny tormented him with that sliver of hope that they were destined for more.

"She should prove herself~" "Yes, prove yourself, big sis, kill him!" "Yes, kill him~" Kenji kept his eyes closed, but after a moment, he could hear the sword fly into Amari's hands. Every sound seemed to be amplified as he could even hear the quiet sound of her raising the blade above her head, the muscles tensing, the sword coming down, and...
