《Torn World》The Contracts. Part III

*Heavy Gasp*
Lila struggles for breath as she continues to spit out blood due to sheer force that Nathan threw her at. Her body slumps off the shattered wall and Lila struggles to hold herself up as her small bod is feeling extremely heavy. With a quick jump, Nathan is on his feet and the deep gash that was spread across his chest is beginning to close as a dark metallic skin begins to form over it.
Nathan shoots at an aura that is equivalent to a primordial beast as his demon blood circulates through his body and begins replacing small portions of his original blood. A dark red light of hatred forms in Nathan's already crimson colored eye and it is directed at Lila.
Lila feels like pins and needles are being stabbed in her body as Nathan gives her the hundred yard stare but 1,000 times more intense. Lila showed no mercy in trying to end Nathan's life so he won't show her mercy. The aura that Nathan was once releasing with reckless abandon is draw back into his body and his dark figure slowly vanishes from sight with the last thing seen being the crimson color of his eye.
Lila gulps and soon she multiplies and disappears as well, only trying to escape the newly awoken demon's wrath.
Zorg begins to panic as Tanner seems like an unmovable obstacle in Zorg's way of slaying the horrendous in front of him. Tanner's calm and collect expression pisses Zorg off more as Zorg is trying fairly hard and is straining himself to the max.
With the two holy powers of the both clashing, one being a bright white and the other being a dark green, a stray beam can kill most level 30 adventurers. Zorg sends his heavy warhammer barreling towards Tanner and instead of using his wings to fly and dodge, Tanner is able to use his shield to redirect the strike to the side and then sends a piercing attack at Zorg's side.

Zorg is confident at first but soon the sword that came from a griffin pierces straight through Zorg's spiritual armor and his actual armor as well as Tanner aimed straight at a weak point in the expensive armor. Zorg grits his teeth as Tanner's sword sends a searing pain through Zorg's whole body and blood stains the white armor of the large orc.
Zorg jumps backwards from Tanner and tries to start up a healing spell called "Rejuvenation" but this time instead of standing his ground, Tanner's wings flex and chase after Zorg with speeds Zorg is barely able to physically keep up with.
Several clashes between Zorg's warhammer and Tanner's long sword end in a stalemate but if one watched close enough, Zorg's confidence from before is beginning to wither as Tanner is not stop attacking, a complete opposite from the beginning.
Though Tanner is a complete novice at flying, just having the ability itself is borderline legendary in these regions to begin with and puts Tanner at a speed advantage compared to Zorg. Before Tanner only had the defensive advantage, and had a small speed advantage followed by a major disadvantage in strength. With his new advantage in speed, Tanner is able to overcome the strength advantage Zorg has, slowly pushing the stalemate in Tanner's favor.
People watching from outside the blue barrier "ooh" and "aww" at the battle between Zorg as nearly nobody actual has the senses to be able to see the one sided battle between Lila and Nathan right now. The king himself even looks intrigued as he looks at the polar opposite pair of the demon and angel.
"They seem to be fighting their own battles yet the manage to help each other out by keeping the healer away from the attacker to prevent healing and Nathan is keeping the attacker away from his healer at the same time to prevent Lila from turning the tides. Clever. For people so young they have potential. The main reason this is one sided though is because of the difference in power after their power ups."

The king believes even with all the battle experience physically possible one can have, it is near useless against someone who has such overwhelming power over you that you can barely breath. This is shown as Tanner finally pushes the stalemate into a one sided affair.
More puncture wounds have appeared in Zorg's body and no matter what Zorg cannot get a healing spell off as he needs to be still for at least a second but that could mean the paladin's death, yet the paladin is becoming more and more tranquil as the fight goes on.
On the other side of the arena, Lila continues to run away crazily as Nathan continues to slay Lila's clones. To be truthful, Nathan can tell which one is the real one now as he can hear the scared woman's heart beat fiercely due to either exhaustion or fear. Nathan has decided to run Lila until she is completely unable to do anything and then he will kill her.
A smile comes across Nathan's face and he stabs his dark sword outwards and punctures a Lila clone in the head. Realizing she is just being toyed with, Lila's eyes turn dead as a fishes for a few seconds before they too begin to burn with desperation and nonacceptance.
The fight that started as a death battle has turned into one of desperation and hatred as two of the fastest existence in a 1,000 mile radius fight like they are facing their mortal enemy.
Lila cuts into her own hand with the long scythe and uses her finger to drawn incantations into the ground. Nathan laughs and is curious as to what this girl is planning and casually walks towards her while killing the woman's clones. Lila hoped that Nathan would be confident enough for him to let Lila do this and her desperate attempt seems to be going smoothly. Finishing the incantation, Lila lets out a breath and smiles weakly at Nathan.
"If I die, you're coming with me boy." Lila says while struggling.
"Boy? You'd be lucky to call me daddy you bitch." Nathan says as he vanishes and appears next to the paling Lila. Kicking her in the side with his metal greaves. Cracking sounds fill the arena as a few of Lila's ribs are shattered on impact due to Nathan's new metal hard skin/scales.
Landing about 30 feet away, Lila's back is now to Nathan and she proceeds to not move. Seeing as Lila's seems to have run out of gas, Nathan figures now is the time to end it, but before he can use Accelerated Step, the blood incantation's Lila write on the floor glow brightly and menacingly. Sensing a extreme danger and a demonic aura stronger than his own, Nathan retreats back towards where Tanner and Zorg are fighting.
"Switch." Nathan says he dashes under the flying Tanner faster than Zorg's eyes can see and then sends a fist directly into Zorg's stomach. Zorg grunts and is sent 5 feet backwards but is still standing and his weapon is ready to fight.
*Tch* " I sensed the evil aura while she was writing those incantations, why did you let her finish them dumbass?" Tanner says mockingly.
"I didn't feel anything from them and since you are the bane of most sinister things, it's your problem now." Nathan responds as uses a hand spring to casually dodge Zorg's slow attack.
"Fine, at least finish the person you are the bane of too." Tanner says as he begins to fly away.
"Don't worry, I will. But leave that Lila girl for me to end. K?" Nathan says as he begins to run circles around the beaten paladin.
Tanner just shrugs and flies towards the ever expanding evil aura of the incantation.
