War Driven Sadist

Lyllia took a step back in fear. Time passed differently in her realm of desires, an intended purpose to have her victims lose track of how much had actually passed. Yet instead of growing confused or tired, each passing moment Opportunity grew more fervent. Each time her nail dug into the skin of the War Driven Sadist she attacked even stronger.

"You!!", Lyllia's nails moved forward to stab Opportunity.

Pang~!

Making contact with Opportunity's axe the nails then shattered. She screamed in pain and took a step back, but Opportunity was relentless! A golden arm manifested and swung to the side. The manifested axe in its hand dug into Lyllia and sent her sliding. Opportunity took a step forward and that alone sent shivers through the succubus.

This had to be some sort of beast! A creature devoid of any sane capabilities! Who fought like this?! Such thoughts rang through Lyllia's mind as she continuously retreated. Yet Opportunity's pace did not increase. Steadied footsteps rang across the misty realm, deafening despite their lack of emotion. It was merely a walk yet so terrifying.

Opportunity raised her axe to the sky a golden energy snapping as it manifested an arm. Stretching her legs she swung with all her might towards the ground. The weight behind the swing cause a golden explosion to occur the moment the manifested axe hit the ground. Eventually the energy caught up to Lyllia, but it washed over her as if she wasn't there. Confused by this she looked at Opportunity with a lingering fear.

Pwang~!

Another heavy hit towards the ground and another burst of golden energy. The second time was all Lyllia needed to understand what Opportunity's intention was. She was trying to destroy this realm! These waves of energy were merely the recoil of the power behind her strikes! If she let this sadist out into the war. . . she mustn't let that happen!

Turning into a pink mist Lyllia appeared behind Opportunity and used her good nails to stab into Opportunity. The paralyzing effect took place and-

"Not this time.", Opportunity turned her head and gazed directly into Lyllia's eyes.

An arm manifested and gripped Lyllia. Lifting her off the ground and slamming her back. She coughed violently, a face of apparent confusion showing. She was unable to speak a word as Opportunity manifested two arms and began barraging the fallen Lyllia with axe strikes. Golden energy washed away at the realm and at the final strike a stronger blast of golden energy shattered the realm entirely.

Lyllia's form changed, but was entirely unrecognizable. Wiping away the blood from her wound Opportunity eyed the fallen Lyllia before moving forward. Having made a link with a poison Dragon Opportunity's resistance to poison and venom rose as a result. Lyllia's constant abuse of the paralyzing effect on her nails led to her downfall.

Additionally she had mastered her most useful asset in her Skillset. The [God's Avatar] no longer became an active Skill with limited moves, but rather a passive ability she was able to summon at will for the cost of some MP. The strength of Third Stage was incredible indeed!

Returning to the battlefield she was greeted with the Death Eater squirming underneath a massive meteor. Taking a moment to understand what she was seeing she raised a hand to her ear. It crackled loudly and shattered, making her frown.

"Say, what happened to our succubus friend? Hmm hmmmm?", a voice spoke.

"Can't you tell?", Opportunity didn't look towards the voice.

Gripping her axes she instead swung in its direction, the golden energy manifesting along with her swing. A playful laugh sounded out as it passed through harmlessly. A ghost-like figure floated away and sat on the massive meteor. Opportunity frowned and took the moment to speak through the link.

'Communication is down, what's happening on your end?' -Opportunity

'Akiol had already informed Givale and Mira, we're moving to your last known location. Our surprise assault was entirely thwarted it seems.' -Ryolu

'Can you two not get here? It shouldn't take that long.' -Opportunity

The two Dragons' speed would be enough to reach their location without concern. Opportunity believed they would be able to arrive before anyone got too overwhelmed. Yet this wasn't the case. A Territory created by a Fourth Stage was nothing simple to breach. Despite them being Dragons, Givale and Ryolu struggled with piercing the barrier that deemed the border of the Territory. When Ryolu explained this issue Opportunity gave an idea, 'What if we attack it from both sides?'

'We'd need either you or Akiol to do so. Can you really afford a moment?' -Ryolu

Opportunity eyed the ghost-like individual who currently was comforting the wriggling Death Eater. Just as she took a step back the ghost pointed at her, "Wait right there. I'm going to free our pet."

It felt like she was being gripped by a hand that suffocated her movement. It was then she understood her enemy, "A Poltergeist."

Placing a palm on the meteor she made it rise to free the Death Eater. As she did so she poked fun at Opportunity, "You all were so confident in this raid. Yet the moment the initiative flips you're all lost."

The ground rumbled as the Death Eater dug back into the earth. Opportunity grit her teeth and doubled her effort, slowly prying away the ghostly hand's grip. Just as she felt the grip burst apart the ground opened and swallowed her whole. The Death Eater rising from the soil.

From its abyss-like mouth a golden avatar formed. This time not just limbs, but the top half of a body as well. Grabbing the edge of the Death Eater's mouth from the inside it shoved it back down into the ground. This freed Opportunity, and she stared at the Poltergeist. The avatar shattered to dust and Opportunity returned to the ground. Currently she wasn't going to assist in creating a breach in the Territory, so she could only hope Akiol would be able to.
