" So what now? "

Lionel questioned as he stared at the new looking Ezra, slightly intrigued as to why he now had a demon like mask covering his face.

" what now? "

Ezra replied whilst he slowly raised his left hand, pointing his finger tips at the man's chest, causing Lionel to tilt his head in confusion, right before spitting a massive amount of saliva and blood from his mouth.

Ezra had quickly closed his fist, thrusting it forward, landing an incredibly deadly strike against the man's chest, sending him flying meters away, only for the man to stop himself by spreading his limbs from side to side, panting a little whilst holding onto his chest.

" What the hell was that? "

Lionel thought to himself as he rubbed his chest plate a little bit, releasing that It a hole in the shape of a fist

" Did you he punch me? "

Lionel asked himself, panting a little whilst slowly regaining his composure, standing straight after only a few seconds, but once he was ready, he didn't expect to see thousands of what seemed to be, ghost like soldiers.

This of course took Lionel by surprise as he flew in closer, only to find out that they were coming out of Ezra's back once he got close enough

" Why are soldiers coming out of your body? Are they perhaps the people you've killed? "

Lionel questioned, only to be ignored by Ezra who's oni mask began to spread across his body in the form of blue smoke, wrapping around every part of his body, only to then vanish, leaving behind what seemed to be a blue samurai armor around Ezra's body.

" Oh, so that's why that Oni mask appeared in your face, you were planning to wear a Yoroi "

Lionel said, laughing a little as he would then spread his arms apart, now smirking as he saw the ghosts flooding out of Ezra's back

" Its seems you've gotten yourself an army! Well, worry not, because… "

The man paused to then lift his head up to the sky, facing the sun as all of a sudden hundreds of thousands of copies of him appeared in the sky, facing toward the ghost like soldiers.

" I too posses troops "

Lionel added, only to then close his eyes, breathing in the air through his nose, smiling as he now felt immensely great

" I didn't force them out.. "

Lionel quickly opened his eyes, hearing that voice above, opening his eyes widely, realizing who was looking down upon him

" They just come out whenever I decided to use their energy "

Ezra added, to then punch Lionel right in his face send him flying down to the ground, creating a crater to then stretch his hand out, causing Ean to frown a little bit as he felt that his swords were now being pulled away

" What the hell is— "

The boy quickly shut his own mouth as his swords began to drag him toward Ezra, not realizing where the swords were going, Ean kept pulling, using all his strength to keep them from flying away, but unfortunately for him the swords quickly slipped out of his hands, flying over to Ezra who caught them, slowly lowering them, once he got a hold of them.

" Ah. Reaper and Mercy, you guys have a new master now, but at least for this, allow me to use your strength "

The man pleaded, closing his eyes for a few seconds as the swords would then begin to glow whilst their blades and handles would then start to break apart, giving birth to what seemed to be, swords made out of energy

" Hmm, you've revealed your true forms to me, but not yet lent me your strength "

Ezra said, in a questioning manner as all of sudden the figures of two girls began to glow from the swords, whilst flaming blue aura's began to engulf them, with dark blue smoke at the tip of said flames

" Ah yes, now I can fight like I did once in my prime "

Ezra added before flying downward, to where Lionel had landed, crashing against the ground, enlarging the crater Lionel had created with his body, to then dash toward he was, holding the blades to his hips, to then quickly withdraw them, slicing at the man's stomach, leaving an X like shape on the man's armor, from which blood would squirt.

" One more… "

Ezra said to himself as he would then slide through the ground, stabbing one of the swords in the ground, stopping himself from going any further, to then dash toward the man once again, raising the blade on his right hand while he did so

" What is happening?… "

Lionel asked himself as the damage dealt to his armor began to repair itself, but before the man could react, Ezra was already in front of me

" It's like I can see his movements, but I'm not fast enough to react—or rather, my body won't move to react to it— "

Ezra would then slam the sword on Lionel's shoulder, sinking him inside of the ground, only to then stomp the floor, cracking the ground, loosening the grip the hole had around Lionel's body, allowing Ezra to easily pull him out and hurl him into the sky.

" I feel dizzy.. "

Lionel whispered, letting out a loud moan of pain, as Ezra who was already in front of him pierced him in the abdomen with one of the blades, which was at the moment engulfed in a flaming aura so hot that it would begin to burn the insides of the man.

" You're probably thinking why you can't react right now, right? "

Ezra questioned as he would then twist the blade, causing the man to scream in agonizing pain

" Well the reason for that is simple, the smoke that I'm releasing from my back is poisoning the air which you are now breathing, and what this poison does is simple, it confuses your senses, making your brain confused and not allowing your nerves to react accordingly.. "

Ezra said, smiling a little as Lionel began to grip his arm, trying to push the blade out of his stomach, but it was futile, he had no strength to push it away, and although Ezra was talking to him, he could not hear a single thing but a loud ringing in his ear

" You're also probably thinking why you're so weak, and the answer for that predicament is simple, poison kills. That is my ability, I call it Pollution "
