Nier watched from above as two people were engaging in heated combat.
His occultist eyes are already locked onto the two of them, as he analyzes them from above.
"...Ohhh, isn't this interesting?"
Nier said, with both hands in his pockets, as he hovered above the two, they went at each other's throats.
BOOOOOOM!
A loud explosion echoed.
As Darius began to run away from ld's attack, high above the island, in the sky, the clouds began to darken. And then another explosion went off as lightning suddenly rained down from above, falling on top of him.
"AHHH!!"
He scread in pain as the electric current flowed through his body, burning his flesh and weakening him as the fight between him and ld prolonged.
Darius fell to the ground, barely catching his own weight as he was left kneeling and panting for air.
'Dammit, what the hell is up with this kid? I can't even land a single attack on him. What is even worse, before this battle even started, he was bluntly keeping his distance as if he knew I specialized in close-quarter combat.'
'And whenever I do try to get close, he would close the distance between us again by sohow conjuring random shit out of nowhere. Last ti, a giant snake-like Flux attacked from underground, causing to retreat, and then I sohow tripped. Another ti, a large hole appeared beneath , and now lightning bolts are shooting from the sky. What the hell is this brat's power even supposed to be?'
He said with a frustrated look as he saw the slowly approaching ld, who was just walking up towards him.
"Cocky little girl, fine... Let's see how you like it when you are the one on the receiving end."
In that mont, from below, just under ld's feet, a massive earth spike erupted from below; its purpose was to injure ld. It ca flying out at supersonic speed; however, in that mont, a hole, seemingly out of nowhere, appeared below ld as he dropped in, completely dodging the spike that would have crippled him or had him at death's door. Then, in the next mont, a hole appeared underneath Darius, this ti way larger.
As he began to plumt down to the point, he landed far below the island, and to make sure, ld then closed the hole back in place as the hole just disappeared, filling itself back up as if it had never been dug up by sothing in the first place as Darius was being crushed by the imnse weight of the island's underground embrace.
Realistically, he should have been crushed.
But that was not the case as the future began to change again.
And in that mont, ld began to jump back as a pair of giant golem hands manifested beneath him, and like a fly, they tried to squash him between their palms, but ld already saw this and jumped back with all his might.
But Darius wasn't letting up as hundreds of earth-like arms erupted from the ground as they all tried to squish or catch ld.
"SHIT...SHIT!!...
ld said, as he tried to dodge them all, one tried to squash him, but another one of Darius's golem arms miraculously got in the way as the two collided, crushing each other.
Several more got in his way, but on all of them, a barrage of C4 manifested on each, as a detonator suddenly manifested in ld's hand. With zero regard for collateral, he then pressed the red button, and in that mont all the explosions went off.
As arms all began to break or burn away from the blast, falling to the ground, however, the future changed again, and ld saw with clear eyes how he was going to lose all four of his limbs in this instant.
As the falling rocks in the sky suddenly began to float and slam into each other, they took the form of rotating shard bullets, compressed tightly together.
And then, going at hypervelocity, it fired toward ld, six of them at a ti from all directions.
With this much force behind such density, it would have surely ripped him apart.
But then, he picked a future where all those projectiles miss; however, it cost him a lot of Gaian energy to evade his attack.
As the rotating stone bullets all missed him one by one.
CHINK! CHINK! CHINK!!...
But just then, Darius appeared behind ld, who looked at him with a surprised look.
Stone flew to his hand, wrapping around it to form a hardened gauntlet, and then he clenched his fist tightly and said to ld.
"Clench your teeth, bitch."
Darius said as he channeled a large amount of Gaian energy into his fist and attacked faster than ld could react, despite seeing the future; even there, in other futures, that attack was almost certain.
And since ld uses too much energy as is, he could not dodge this; as such, he covered his face, but that was exactly what Darius wanted.
As he smiled and said.
"Good, leave your center wide open."
With devastating power, he punched ld right in the stomach with great force, making him spit out blood.
BANNNG!!
"AGHHH!!... FWUCKK!"
ld cried out as he spat out blood as Darius launched him across the forest. The force of the punch went off like an explosion in his abdon as a loud sonic boom was heard as ld flew through multiple trees before skidding and landing in a puddle of his own blood, leaving his arms gone, alongside his right leg. A large hole was also present in his stomach, with stone shards stabbed in multiple parts of his body.
Darius, who was still an issue, walked over to ld, who was gasping for air as he said.
"You actually manage to hit ."
"You're a fucking annoying little girl, but it beca clear to that you can see the future, given the way you were able to dodge my attacks almost beforehand at the last mont."
"How you are warping reality the way you are is still a mystery to , but it's clear to you can't constantly use that; you're going to tire out eventually after using it too much. However, the main problem was your future sight, but it's not impossible to work around. I figured if I can just attack you fast enough, even if you can see where I am going to hit you, if you're not as fast, you're basically helpless."
"Of course this is all just my assumption, but I am confident you have so kind of precog, but it doesn't matter; even if you don't surrender, you are now unable to continue fighting. It was a good battle, little girl, but the fight ends here."
Darius said to a deeply injured ld.
However, the reply he got was not what he was expecting.
"Unable—do you really think that?"
ld said as he began to spit out blood.
"It's over. Do you even see yourself?"
However, just then, the world changed in an instant, and ld, who was basically crippled, was now standing whole again, all his injuries gone.
Then he looked at the bewildered Darius and said.
"Sotis reality can be deceiving."
"W-What......HOWW!?"
Although Darius didn't get a direct answer, the truth behind the matter was that ld chose a future where he was not injured, undoing the events that led up to him even getting injured to begin with.
Alas, that took a lot of energy out of him.
"Dammit, that sure took a lot; at best I can only do that one more ti."
Darius was annoyed as he said, preparing to beat him half to death, but just then a voice ca from the front, just above them, as they looked up.
"Oh, two for the taking, not bad."
It was Nier.
