Terios' eyes stared over at Eli's deceased body in shock. He had been making so many friends lately that he never expected to lose them. This was one of the greatest wounds he's ever felt and he'd never be able to fully heal from this. What shocked him even more was that it was his brother who wounded him so deeply.

All I ever wanted was to be close to my family. I wanted to be close with my adopted parents. I wanted to be close with Akemi and Setsuna. I felt like to a degree we had that closeness. When I found out that I had a sister I wanted to be close to her also. I love Akari just as much as my other family. It would have been the same with Akihisa, but why did he turn out differently? Why!?

"Do you know what you've done...!?"

"I killed someone?" Akihisa lowered himself to pick up the deceased male's body, running a finger along his frame before he raises an arm of his up.

"…"

"See? He's not even anyone anymore. He's nothing. It's like he never existed!"

"How can you say that...?"

"Very easily! All I did was shorten his days. There's a million ways to die! But how many ways are there to live?"

"Bring him back and I'll forgive you."

"I don't have the power to bring back... I simply destroy!" Akihisa gleefully said before his energy began to infuse Eli's body.

"Akihisa....!"

"Dust to dust. Ashes to ashes."

Eli's body would soon crumble to dust before Terios' very eyes leaving nothing left of his friend.

"Eli..."

"Is dead. And it's all your fault for even existing. Hurts doesn't it? Well this isn't even a fraction of my pain!"

"I don't care anymore..."

"You don't care about your friend?"

"I don't care about what happens to you! You son of a bitch I'm going to make you pay!"

"Yes! That's it! I want you to hate me just as badly as I do! That's how you should feel! I killed your friend and had you witness it!"

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Terios' arms would soon begin to restore itself, gaining its fullness along with regaining its functions. As his arms sprung back to life he immediately ran towards Akihisa, clenching a fist imbued with darkness as he slammed it against him only to hit super dense air.

"That's glorious! Our father would be so proud! But, don't you think he was a bit misguided? I always thought that you were destined for greatness. Destined to unleash some hidden potential, but, you're a joke. You're powerless to change anything! But just look at me! I've awakened my true potential! I'm not held back by weak emotions! And I don't need them to gain power like you!"

Akihisa slammed his hands together, forming a barrier of super dense air around Terios as he soon had the walls slam into him, crushing the poor Nephilim before he sent him high into the air and crashing hard against the ground.

After that he would have the ground 'devour' him before forcing it to secrete him out right next to him while keeping his arms fused below. Akihisa would then send a flurry of super dense punches and kicks along Terios' body and head until his lip was busted open.

"See! I control everything! Unlike you! Shadow manipulation? What a joke!"

Terios remained silent as the beating continued. Strong blows, furious kicks and staggering knee strikes which busted Terios' noes. When Akihisa had enough he forced it to spit him out.

His body laid broken and battered on the ground as he coughed a few times.

"What happened to all of that hatred!? How about I go kill your other friend? Maybe I'll pay another visit to Akari! How does that sound?"

"No! I'll kill you before that happens!"

Terios gripped Akihisa's leg as he slowly picked himself up. As he took a stand, Akihisa forced his fist into his stomach once again before fusing his hand inside of his brother's chest making way for his heart.

"I'll kill you instead!"

Feeling his heart being grabbed Terios stared at Akihisa with a blank look before his heart was swiftly extracted from his body.

"Akihisa..."

"It was fun while it lasted."

In one crushing movement his heart was crushed much like Eli's and soon he felt his body go numb. He fell over in no time before hitting the ground with a thud. His eyes closed after.

Akihisa simply turned around, holding his bloody hand for him to examine before he thought to himself.

Now that he's dead. I don't know what else to do. My entire purpose was to help my father. When he died I made it clear I wanted to kill Terios. No I wanted to kill him before then. But, now that he's dead I'm back to being empty. There's no real purpose to my existence and with all of this power that won't change how the world will initially end. There's no point to anything.

Breaking the silence was a large wave of energy being released. Terios was engulfed with a twilight blue aura. His body magically lifted itself up and soon forged a new beating heart to replace the old one that was lost. His sclera turned black and his pupils were light grey and took the form of a cross. Six twilight blue colored wings erupted from his back along with a halo of the same color. The tyrian purple hair lengthened down to his back and red highlights embellished it and his body was coated in a glow of twilight blue.

"You've actually unlocked Angel Overdrive? Hahahahaha! Tha-"

Not even able to finish his speech multiple twilight tendrils entered his body and raised him into the air before slamming him onto the ground a few times. When finished it pulled him closer to him and wrapped itself around his arms.

"So good! You're starting to excite me now!"

Akihisa allowed his energy to surge through the tendrils and caused them to fade away into nothing. However, Terios showed no response. Instead shadow drills formed along the ground and raised up to impale Akihisa from the side.

Akihisa forced them to fade as well before a blast of twilight blew his arm completely off. Blood sprayed everywhere and this caused him to moan out in delight before a purple light took the place of it until his flesh regenerated at an astonishing rate.

"Give me more! I can take everything you throw at me and still want more! You can't defeat me!"

Hearing this angered Terios as he forged a blade from his aura which extended out. He swung the massive blade from the side, tearing through the ground and the air along with slicing through Akihisa cleanly.

Akihisa's body was in two and he laid on the ground bleeding out until his body began to regenerate. While the other one was reduced to dust. With his new body he quickly got up and darted out for his brother.

He sent a flurry of strikes, but that proved to be useless as Terios blocked everyone with only one hand and simply sent a fist into his face before crashing it into his gut and firing him up into the air.

He quickly appeared above and then sent a twilight imbued fist into him which sent him crashing onto the ground before releasing that energy around.

"Angel Overdrive... you used your emotions to awaken it even though it's pointless."

"They aren't pointless to me."

Terios sent two twilight stakes into Akihisa's arms to make sure he stayed in place.

Akihisa infused his aura into them but found out that he couldn't change their shape or anything.

"No effect?"

"Looks like you can't alter pure energy."

"A limitation..."

Terios began to charge up a twilight colored beam before he fired it directly at Akihisa's head. Crashing down onto it the strength of it caused his head to explode leaving nothing left of that particular area.

"…"

After awhile Akihisa's purple energy began to reform his head.

"You won't stay dead...? Truth be told I'm a bit glad."

"Hahahaha! Why don't you try completely obliterating me!"

"No. You'll suffer a fate much worse than death."

"Bring it! I'll take whatever you throw at me!"

Terios held out his hands as he began to form a portal from the shadows underneath Akihisa. The Nephilim would then descend in as he laughed the entire time. He didn't care much about his fate but he was still upset that he couldn't finish his brother off and instead he aided in him unlocking Angel Overdrive.

"Burn in Hell."

The portal would then close, sealing him down there.

I cannot form my own portals so where I end up I'll be stuck here. A fate much worse than death... it doesn't matter anyways, I'm nothing and I will always be nothing. I have no real purpose in this world, no goals, no ambition. Nothing truly fills me with pleasure besides pain... pain is a constant reminder that I'm alive...

As his body descended through completely darkness he mustered out a few words.

"Failure tastes so sweet."
