The two remaining spears in her hands both erupted into swirling masses of crimson energy as the Godslayer's body became outlined in a deep purple colour. Scáthach then looked up as her deep crimson eyes met the Devil's in an unblinking stare, "it's time to remind you two of just why I am known as the Godslayer!"
Sirzechs instantly pushed his fellow Maou away from him as Scáthach leapt towards the Devil with her spears eagerly releasing their combined bloodlust, the Maou frowning as his body was slowly covered in a similar red glow with hints of a pure black beginning to leak out of it. Instead of trying to dodge the glowing spears Sirzechs just rushed towards Scáthach and met her charge with one of his own, briefly shocking the witch long enough for the Maou to grab the shaft of the two spears and knee the Godslayer in the gut.
To her credit Scáthach only let out a mild grunt of pain as she kept her grip on her spears and the two of them were locked in a contest of strength as each tried to overpower the other. 'She's too powerful, I'm going to have to use it. Damn it!' thought the Maou as he saw the spears beginning to inch ever closer to his chest.
"Serafall! Get out of here now!" he ordered his fellow Maou, seeing her readying a spell from the corner of his eyes.
"WHAT!? Sirzechs I'm not abandoning you!" she shouted in protest.
"SERAFALL NOW!" shouted the Maou, frantically as the black energy that was leaking from his body began to increase in size and bits of the ground beneath the two combatants began to dissolve into nothingness.
The Ice Devil just looked at him with a conflicted expression on her face before she turned to run, only for Scáthach to growl in frustration as she broke off the deadlock from her end by dismissing her spears and rushing after the fleeing Devil. Serafall heard her friend shout in warning but it was too late as she spun around to see a fist slam into her face, Runes of Reinforcement glowing along the witch's arm.
The Devil was sent flying through several trees before skidding along the ice ground and lying motionlessly on the ground as her bleeding body came to a stop, the only signs of life was the shallow and irregular rising and falling of her chest.
Hearing Sirzechs cry of rage, Scáthach spun around and rematerialized her two glowing spears, only to see Sirzechs' body nearly completely covered in the same black energy from the spheres. The witch watched with wide eyes as she saw the area around the Maou begin to disintegrate, the power coming off the Devil having skyrocketed as he glared at the Celt.
'This is a Super-class Devil?' thought the witch in shock, not even the Gods she had killed had this level of power, in fact this Devil might have even given Lugh a challenge. 'I can't take him lightly anymore,' she realized as a blank expression appeared on her face.
The twin red spears in her hands glowed as she leapt towards him, before the two spears turned into red beams that rushed towards the Maou, only to be consumed by the black aura before they even reached their target and dissolved.
Frowning Scáthach summoned the two spears again and immediately leapt backwards as Sirzechs aura of destruction rushed towards her in a black tide, disintegrating everything in its path. The witch then summoned another six spears and sent them at the Maou, only to see them once again get completely dissolved.
The Maou didn't give her anytime to recover from her shock however as he rushed towards the witch, a wave of pure black following close behind. Scáthach quickly retreated with Sirzechs following close behind, the two fighters becoming nothing more than black and purple blurs darting across the icy battlefield.
Scathach's armour was aglow with Runes of Reinforcement further increasing its durability as well as her speed and strength as she decided to go back on the offensive. Sirzechs frowned as he saw his punch pass through nothing but an afterimage before ducking as a purple blur passed over his head and slammed into the tree behind him.
The unfortunate plant didn't just break but was completely uprooted and sent flying through the air at a phenomenal speed from the force of the punch as Scáthach clicked her tongue in annoyance before leaping to the side as Sirzechs retaliated by flooding the area around him with his Power of Destruction. The Maou then sent wave after wave of Power of Destruction towards the retreating witch, only to growl in frustration as all he hit was the afterimage of Scathach's glowing form.
However, this could speed could not last forever as Scáthach had to be careful with her footing at these speeds thanks to the icy terrain created from Serafall which severely hindered her speed. Eventually she was forced to slow down or risk breaking her footwork altogether, allowing Sirzechs to immediately close the distance between them.
The Godslayer was unable to summon anymore spears as she had to focus on dodging the Maou's black coated fists and kicks, even as the two fighters were beginning to be surrounded by the black energy of the Power of Destruction. Suddenly the Maou sent a sweep kick at the witch's legs which Scáthach dodged by jumping over it, only for her eyes to widen as she brought her arms up to block the Maou's black coated fist sailing towards her head.
For the first time Scáthach cried out in pain as the Power of Destruction coated fist slammed into her block and the witch was sent flying as the purple magically resistant and reinforced armour on her arms and hands dissolved into nothingness along with the top layer of her skin. The Runes on the armour and her natural magical resistance the only thing saving the use of her hands and arms as they absorbed the brunt of the attack before failing. Scáthach felt her body skid along the ice and tried to stop herself by materializing a spear and stabbing it into the ground, swinging her body around it like a pole as she struggled to regain her footing.
As she landed however, Scathach's eyes widened as she misjudged her footwork and finally slipped on the icy terrain, collapsing to the ground as she saw the black tide surge forwards. 'So this is how I die? At long last my search is finally over,' she thought with resignation as Sirzechs' Power of Destruction began to surround her.
However as she looked into pure black energy, Scáthach felt something she didn't expect, despair. In that moment she wasn't the Immortal Witch or the feared Godslayer, she was Scáthach, a human child who decided to learn the wonders of Rune magic.
Why? Why was she sad? This was what she wanted, wasn't it? The death she had long seeking was finally here, she should be happy, shouldn't she?
Then you're an idiot.
As the familiar words echoed across the witch's mind, the picture of the scolding teen appeared in her head and an amused smile crossed her face. 'One insignificant change huh? Maybe, you were onto something Issei,' she thought with a smirk as Scáthach felt more of her magical armour beginning to dissolve from the Maou's aura surrounding her.
Sirzechs watched as his black Power of Destruction consumed the witch's body, completely engulfing her, a cold satisfied smile spreading across his face as he was about to rein in his power and check on his fellow Maou. Only to freeze as he saw the black power surrounding the witch's body suddenly get pushed back with an explosive force of bright light. Standing alive in a circle of glowing purple runes was the battered and beaten form of Scáthach. Yet despite her condition, the witch was laughing as she struggled to her feet, the purple runes' glow slowly getting weaker as more and more of Sirzechs' Power of Destruction continued to crash against the barrier.
"Why are you laughing?" frowned Sirzechs, wondering if the Immortal Witch had finally lost her mind.
"It's just so funny, after all these years I've finally found what I've been searching for, I've finally found someone who can grant me my wish and yet...I don't want it. My wish is finally within my grasp and I'm not happy about it, how can I not laugh at that absurdity?" cried Scáthach through coughing laughter.
Suddenly the two spears in her hands transformed into red beams again as they rushed towards Sirzechs, unlike last time the Maou's eyes widened as the spears pierced his Power of Destruction and both stabbed him in the gut. 'I can't move!' realized the Devil as he felt the magic from the spears enter the inside of his body, immobilizing it.
It wouldn't last long though, already they could both see the twin spears beginning to crack from the Maou's Power of Destruction assaulting them. However, it didn't matter, they only needed to last a couple of seconds as Scáthach ran out of her rune barrier and braved the torrent of the black tide surrounding her island of stability and rushed for where Gae Bolg had been stabbed into the ground.
