Chapter 4 - THE GUISE THAT LUST TAKES

Please remember that this is a completely amateur series.

LAYER 11: SEAL

Furoy opens his eyes. Haerdon recoils in horror at the will and grudge she senses. The others feel the same. Furoy gets up, looks around, and says mockingly, "Kortania... It looked more bearable from inside... Hey, you damn thing, you'd better head to the castle, come on, take me to that Zars guy." "What audacity! How dare you despise our great lord!?" Haerdon lunges at him. Furoy, replacing Jamz's missing arm with a terrifying arm, muscular, mutant, out of blood, stabs Haerdon and throws her away. Haerdon gets up, heals herself, and says, "So you're the Representative of the Tes of Blood... That boy was only an E-Will. But now... Your will is close to mine." Furoy replies, "You're good at Analysis." and transforms his mutant arm into a battle axe, taking up the blood cleaver. "Watch closely, Jamz. I want to teach you how to fight." he says. The clash begins. On one side, Zars' right hand, on the other, the Temseral of Blood. With each clash, they are wounded more and more, but each time their regenerative powers kick in. Haerdon realizes this won't end this way and merges her hands together, reshaping them. She stretches her flesh, chews it within and transforms it into a long saw. "The Seal of Disguise: The Pinnacle of Formlessness!" shouts the name. "A seal!?" Rosalie shouts from where she stands. "So they can use seals..." Felix grumbles. Luna asks, "What is a seal?" Felix explains. "A seal, as the name suggests, is a kind of seal. It's the ultimate state every Tes owner can reach. Seals don't have a specific effect. Some are used to kill with internal damage, slowly affecting forever, some with incredible damage in one hit, some are used to heal, and even passive seals have been seen throughout history. You never know what a seal can do. Right now, we're being forced to gamble..." he says. Furoy says, "A seal, that means. You're unexpected, Haerdon. I must say, I respect you." (...)

LAYER 12: DISGUISE

Haerdon is furious at Furoy's words and lunges at him, shouting, "I don't need the respect of a freak like you!" Furoy tries to escape Haerdon's seal as much as he can, but it's difficult since they're at the same levels. Eventually, Furoy stumbles, and Haerdon's seal cuts him. A gash opens in his stomach. Haerdon's saw disappears, and his hands return. Both retreat. Furoy tries to heal himself, but the wound from the seal doesn't heal. "Is that all? Just a wound that won't heal? I expected something different, but I guess you're nothing but pure brute force... I wasn't going to kill you right away but... there's no other way for the seal to disappear, unfortunately." he says. But inwardly, he thinks, "Something's wrong... No. She did something else. Such a simple power... Why would she be the right-hand of someone like Zars?" "Brute force, huh? Don't make me laugh." says Haerdon. "My Tes." "Disguise. It allows me to absorb body parts and patch myself onto them. Why do you think I look like this? As for my seal, unlike my Tes, it allows me to fully utilize body parts, not just patch them! And on top of that..." Haerdon's body slowly transforms into Jamz's skin tone. "I don't even need to absorb the whole body for every function to work!" he finishes. "I should have killed you from the start..." Furoy says, and they continue fighting. Strangely, Haerdon is attacking with her fists, not changing her form. Furoy notices this and begins to distract her. Until the seal's duration expires... A long time passes. Both sides are now tired, but Furoy is even more exhausted due to the seal's effect. Rosalie recovers and signals to Felix and Luna from where she is. Felix speaks, "Luna, you need to accompany us with your portals." Luna nods, and Felix and Rosalie attack from different locations. Rosalie plunges the Sword of the Heart, Felix unleashes the Chains of Nothingness, and Furoy delivers the final blow with the blood cleaver. The seal is broken. (...)
