'Are you freaking stupid?!' Nix laughed in his thoughts as he sidestepped just in time to dodge the punch.

Bam!

He swiftly grounded his heels into the ground and gave a hard kick into the pit of Arion's stomach, knocking the wind out of him, shocking him for a brief moment.

Staggering back and holding his stomach as he groaned in intense pain.

[Agility, an increase in the speed activated]

[With every minute used comes a deduction of 2 points from your energy stats]

Nix cackled in a burst of crazed laughter as he covered the distance between them and grabbed a hold of Arion by the collar.

Easily raising him with one arm, he had a devilish grin on his lips. "Do you think I need my abilities to finish you off?!"

Arion struggled to get himself free as his breath was slowly getting dry.

"Do you know what I faced in Zoar?!!" Nix barked in rage, finally angered that he had been judged by his gift.

The fact that he had been admired, despised with the vague view of his gift was a point that had made a ticking bomb.

The color drained from Arion's face as he realized no one knew what had transpired there even though it had been termed too dangerous and a test for only special students.

"Did you think I had used my gift there?!" Nix spat, tightening his grin on the collar with a twisted smile.

In the shadows, Solis cringed at the sight, making a mental note to never get on Nix's bad side.

"He could kill him, right?" He whispered from the corner of his mouth to Obsidian.

Obsidian simply gave a nod and looked away. He only needed it when he would be called to do his part of the plan.

Watching the two only made his blood boil at how long Nix was dragging it out and enjoying every bit of playing with Arion.

Thud!

Dropping Arion to the ground, he let out a sigh at how boring it felt to hold him without a way for him to get out of his grasp.

"Come on, use your ability and let's see how that works for you!" Nix beckoned with eagerness.

Arion punched the ground and forced himself to his feet. His legs wobbled from the experience with his hand holding his neck.

"You're a psycho, do you know that?" Arion spat with bitterness, coughing so he could clear out his throat.

Nix had a wide grin at the name-calling.

"Just like that red-haired bitc–"

Gasp!

His eyes were wide in horror at the cold glow in Nix's eyes before it all turned blurry.

Boom!

Solis got a jump scare as a gust of wind blew on him. 'What the f*ck was that speed?!'

Obsidian leaned forward to have a glimpse of the damage once all rubbles dropped.

'What sort of beast are you?!' His mouth gaped open in shock.

They watched as Nix had his palm on Arion's face, holding him in place after smashing him onto the floor.

Arion's head trailed with blood and his eyes slightly opened. Unable to feel his body he lay motionless and almost out of breath.

"Who's the bitch?!" Nix challenged him to repeat what he said as his eyes gleamed brightly with rage.

Arion could only force his eyes open and his lips opened slightly when he tried to speak.

'So the rumors were true about these two...' Arion forced out a subtle chuckle and coughed out blood in the process.

Bam!

Nix pulled back his hand covered with the blood from Arion and brought down his fist for another punch aimed at Arion's face.

Bam!

Bam!

"I hate that smirk!" He announced.

Arion's face had swollen from the series of punches which had made his mouth more like a duck shape.

"Zokanar was a better sport." Nix sneered and was about to get to his feet when he felt a grip on the hem of his trouser.

His head whipped to the culprit–Arion who had a firm grip on him and had a mischievous smirk and his eyes in an eye-shut smile.

'You won't leave here in one piece!'

Nix could see Arion's body get slightly bloated and gradually increase in size.

"That psycho plans on blowing himself and anything in here–that includes it!" Solis deduced in a panic.

Obsidian didn't flinch but instead, let out a silent laugh. 'Nix, can you take the challenge?!'

He was confident in his ability to shield himself from the blast and extend the same to Solis, but Nix was far too close to the epicenter of the explosive medium.

Nix yanked his leg from Arion's grasp and deactivated his agility.

Instead, he made use of his passive gift.

[Passive gift: Telekinesis in effect]

[Telekinetic binding in effect]

R-Rip!

"Ahhhh!" Arion yelled in pain as he could feel his legs pulled hard without anything in sight that could be the underlying cause.

Making a grabbing gesture with his fists, Nix pulled on Arion's right leg until blood oozed out. The sound of cloth and skin ripping couldn't match the loud outcry coming from Arion.

"Remember when I said your limbs would be the ones leaving this room?" Nix reminded as he walked towards Arion.

Looking at the mess made, he let out a sigh, "damn, I hope this disappears as the modification to this room too. Saves me so much time."

Arion was writhing in pain and couldn't care less what Nix was saying. Involuntary, his gasses began to seep out from his ripped flesh.

The gas made the wound all the more painful to bear. "Ahhh!!!" He hissed and held onto his legs.

His body was still bloating gradually and wasn't in control of taking over when he needed to be. "Please... Save me!"

"Save you?" Nix repeated with a dark aura, "how about you ask your mistress? All you need is one night with her."

Arion hissed and took no account of his sarcastic comment. Feeling light weighted, his surroundings doubled and a faint ringing sound continued in his ears.

Grabbing the neck of Arion using the passive gift, he tightened his grip as Arion tried to struggle. Feeling he had dragged on the fight for too long, he released his grip.

Gasp!

Cough

"I wish I could kill you right now, but I would rather have your ability put to good use."

Arion raised a brow at the words, puzzled by the meaning.

"You!" He accused and forced his eyes open.

"We meet for the second time, this time it would be the end of your gassy existence," Obsidian informed coldly.

Nix reluctantly took a step back for Obsidian.

Skeptical about what Obsidian wanted to do since he had never seen him in action, he pushed back and endured the pain that came with blood loss.

Obsidian wasted no time in lurching forward and pressed his feet on Arion's stomach.

"Are you crazy?! I'm unstable and might explode!!" Arion yelled.

Ignoring the warning, Obsidian protracted his fingers until they were claw-like.

Shluk!

Arion's eyes widened in shock as the hand plunged right through his stomach.

Gasp!

Gasp!

"Don't worry, you won't feel anything soon." Obsidian laughed it off and pulled his hand out in a quick motion.

"You would never get away with this!!" Arion yelled out in pain, the bloating immediately stopped and gas seeped yet again from the injury.

'I already did and you will be blamed for what's to come soon!' Nix replied in his subconscious with a smirk.

Folding his arms, he watched Obsidian feast on Arion's body. "You would all pay!"

Not minding the sight, Obsidian bit down on the ripped flesh on the leg, while activating his devour ability he munched on the body as though it was a feast.

Ear piercing screams could be heard until they died down immediately Arion had tried to struggle for the last time.

Obsidian couldn't care less what was happening to his prey and focused all his attention on the body.

Solis grimaced and tore his gaze away before he would puke. "I would never get used to that!"

Stepping out of the shadows, Solis folded his arms and scrunched his nose in irritation.

Obsidian got to his feet and wiped his bloody mouth with his blue sleeves.

Burp!

'That's just disgusting!' Solis cringed and felt like gagging.

Obsidian's eyes glowed as the gas streamed out of his mouth.

'Not too bad, if I might say so myself!' Obsidian nodded his head as he could actively control the gasses in front of him.

Nix walked up to him and gave a pat on Obsidian's shoulder. "You have all the time to venture on what's more important, but right now I want you to focus on the most important decision we are to make."

Obsidian let out a sigh when he deactivated his ability. "How about the snake that I had confined? What do you plan on doing with her?"
