"What is this…." Akimera squinted his eyes looking the Sulong form of Dezzi up and down. The Red Eyes shimmering. 'I've heard of this before. The Mink Tribe has a true form of sorts. When their eyes gaze upon the light of the Full Moon their bodies change into beast…but with no full moon…'
The Priest's eyes shot to the ground where dribbles of the Elixr sat on the ground. 'That Bag! This Mink must be a pale imitation of a Human Scientist…'
"Haaahhh…." Dezzi breathed with harsh breath, a coldl cloud of visible hair leaving their lips. The sound snapped Akimera back to attention, but Dezzi was on the move! Dashing through across the Room, fists reeled back with Electro zapping with intensity
"Lyn Defibrillation!" With eyes wide, Akimera attempted to block but Dezzi's hands were already on contact one hand just above the Priest left pec and below the right floating rib, the Electro pulse that was then shot through the Assassin, Causing his heart to stop for a moment and be sent flying backwards!
With a resounding crash into the far wall, Akimeras breathed heavily with wild eyes looking around to catch a glimpse of Dezzi to no avail! But there! Dezzi appeared at the side of their opponent! "Lyn Shock Paw!"
Another punch sent him flying and crashing against the elaborate room of worship, but this time Akimera caught himself, hand grinding into the ground to stop himself, multiple arms of yellow gold appearing out of his back, fist tight!
Eyes moved quick, and his body shifted to the side, moving the glowing arms to block Dezzi that was bouncing from side to side "Pouncing Lyn!" They shouted, electro harmlessly dissipating. Dezzis eyes were hard in a pursed glare
"Filthy Mink, desecrating this holy worship site! Is it that the Dragons never basked your Homeland in their light?! Are you pathetic Fleabags so Jealous of the Human Race of not being made in their image that you take it out on us?!"
He was ranting and raving. No rhyme or reason to his squabble with Dezzi. "The World Government should find that Island of Animilla and Sink Akupara into the Sea!"
Animillia? Akupara? Were these the Names of the Homeland of Minks? They Left Dezzi Confused as Akimera reeled back multiple fist and slammed dozens of them into the ground! "Multiplex Lux Percussor!"
Dezzi backflipped away! Their muscles in overdrive as they were barely dodging out of the way of the mystic fists!
"Hallowed Forma!" Akimera began to Grow! Muscles tightening with a glow surrounded his body, raising him from the ground in a pillar! Torso with a similar glow, but looking vaguely like his own body, beads forming around its larger neck, multiple hands coming out the back and shooting forward!
He was like a large Devote statue. Many depictions of Celestial Dragons depicted them as tall, with hands reaching all over to 'Place their worship' always glowing in radiant holy light.
This was possible through the power of faith on Akimeras part. Something he called his 'Chi' allowing him to manifest a radiant body, arms, projectiles, and shields from this 'light'. The light itself was not true light, merely only being radiant like it. It was only as strong or as fast as Akimera was. The form of this light was closer to a malleable sculpture than anything else.
He developed this ability when he was child in the church by literally manifesting his worship physically. One of the many strange unique abilities that randomly come about in beings through the world
"Sancta Bell!" Slam! Akimera finally caught Dezzi, Smashing a fist into them, crashing into the ground! Slam! Slam Slam! Another fist after another finally crashing into Dezzi's body, blood gripping and spraying across the ground
"You filthy Wretch! I'll show you the strength of my faith! And make sure you pay penance in front of my lords!"
'S-shoot! I'll have to-' Dezzi's mind was being cut off as they were continued to be pummeled. 'Got- to think quick!' Their body was absorbing the force, but with a harsh fist into the ground, Dezzi caused the ground to break beneath them letting them be free from the attacks and falling to the next floor!
"Ack!" Their body harshly bounced and rolled across the ground. Blood dribbling onto the stone, eyes lazily looking around. It seemed to be some sort of storage room, dark with no light on the inside, but Dezzi's eyes were attuned to the dark as a Rabbit.
'Broken Radius, hair line on the ulna. 5-8 left ribs broken, contusions across my solar plexus. Probably a bruised liver too…Multiple lacerations all on top of that.' Eyes blinked hard as Dezzi limped behind a box. Slumping to the ground. Hand rummaging through their bag and pulling out a small syringe and holding it between their teeth, with another between their fingers.
In the room above, Akimera was in the middle of praying for healed wounds. Their chi causes some of them to stop bleeding, his body continuing to glow in the shell of chi.
Dezzi however was much more medical. A Cortisone shot distilled by hand after a long and complicated roundabout process due to not having any proper machines to help the process. It'd help relieve pain and swelling.
Quick wraps with clean bandages on their leg and chest, choosing to disregard their hoodie, even if it meant their slave mark was visible. Cloak still on their shoulders however.
Toothing the cap off the final syringe, they spat it onto the ground, and injected this darker liquid into their arm. 'I was hoping I wouldn't have to use this yet…but best time for a test trial than now!'
They winced as the injection burned, feeling the cold course through their body. Sulong was just the start with their Medicines! This was something to push them beyond Sulong! Into something totally new!
Their body shifted out of sulong, and then began to grow again, pain shooting through like a full body cramp! Eyes widening as the red shifted to purple! Hair shortening, with their muscles growing in size to a more lean muscle than lanky and tall.
Thud! Akimera dropped into the room, radiant light filling the room with a yellow glow. "Where'd you go you grand imitator…I'll make sure to Skin you to a pelt and wear you in honor of the gods…"
The Priest turned around, and made eye contact with Dezzi, now standing tall at the far end of the room. Cape waving by an unseen wind. Their slave mark on full view.
"Well Well Well…Looks like you're not just any Fleabag. But a runway." Sparks coursed across Dezzis body, just as in sulong. Eyes hard with a cold gaze at the Agent in front of them "Perhaps I'll take you back to Holy Eden and reunite you with your Master!"
And they were off! The Two leaping towards one another! "Radiant Radius!" Akimera opened his mouth, the large blank shell doing the same and firing a ball of energy straight for Dezzi! With quick agility, the Doctor Leapt over the ball as it exploded into glistening light and sparkles behind them!
"Gnist Scalpel!" They held their hand flat, claws extending and slicing upwards! Cutting through the shield! Electro shocking Akimera beneath and causing him to release a scream of pain!
"Grah!"
