Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Nemeses>

*Grits my teeth as my own aura flares in attempts to keep up with the corroding effect*
Li—

@Nimda

No, you're done.
*Raises my arm and flicks my palm from a downward facing position to an upright position*
A warrior fights and heroes fall, but a coward lives another day.
*Activates the countless primitive spells planted throughout the arena and releases the Greater Gate spell, which rips apart the arena and scatters its combatants across dimensions untold universes away from where we started*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

You're already dead. This is simply an exercise in how much you want others to suffer for your paycheck.

@Nemeses

*With my middle finger and thumb pressed together, arcs my arm over my head and lands the gesture with my index finger pointed at you*
There's a soul behind every job we take. Someone who feeds us in their cry for help. You're behind all of this suffering, and you have the gall to lecture us?
*Snaps with the same hand pointed at you, opening up a magic circle that fills the width of the entire space, from which an asteroid hurdles into all of us and extends beyond the bounds of the arena*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

No. But annihilating you while you're useless won't send the proper message.

@Nemeses

*With a hearty laugh, places my hand against the sheer luminosity of the gate spell's boundaries, piercing its border by a hair*
I love that! I have to warn you though: the longer you push us, the more dangerous we get.
*Millions of points twinkle across the space, and I flash briefly with several different flavors of auras*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Folds my arms behind my back and watches*

@Nemeses

*Holds my hands forward, palms up and utters something in a guttural, ancient language, clearly putting more care into this act than the earlier spell*
You seem like the type to want to fight opponents at their best, huh?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Ducks down under your leg and moves into you in the same motion, planting my fist into your gut so hard that the sound of its connection echoes across the landscape*
Do it now. It might actually hurt a little bit.

@Nemeses

*Summersaults backwards with the momentum of the punch and lands on a freshly-spawned platform with my arms outstretched and begin chanting*
Magic of ground, hear my plea: refine this body and forge it anew. Your child born of dust and born once more from deep below, reinforce this weak, pathetic, disgusting, broken, ugly—good enough, you get the point!
*Brown bands of magic zip across my body and sink deeply into my flesh*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

*The metal begins to peel outward as I explode from the other side of it immediately, moving with such swiftness that I stop mere millimeters from your face in the same instant, staring you down entirely expressionless*

@Nemeses

*Swings my leg around to kick you in the neck with new, enhanced weight behind it*
I’m ready to burn all the magic of that’s what it takes.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Maintains my glare*
You know the answer.

@Nemeses

You know, we really need the money.
*Through the same space warping effect, the metal stage slams flat onto your front and back, its width now separating us*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Beyond an enhanced physical prowess to incredible superhuman levels, it’s clear I also just possess a natural disposition toward energy manipulation, but beyond that there exists a means by which I know absolutely everything about certain people’s thoughts and actions with an uncertain cause. I stand entirely still as you do, staring back with an icy gaze*
Up to you.

@Nemeses

I don’t take it there’s some chance you’ll let us talk to her?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

Beyond that. I just hold a grudge.

@Nemeses

Sounds like we’re gonna have a problem either way, huh?
*Takes the moment of conversation to look at you closely through spirit eyes, evaluating your capabilities and attributes as much as is visible*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Session>

*My cheek compresses to the punch while I stand completely still*
If you pursue this, I will not stop my pursuance in return.

@Nemeses

Something something "you helped a wanted criminal so you're wanted anyway."
