"H-h-honey… I-is that you…" Natalia barely managed to mutter as she looked at the horned human-looking beast walking out of the crater in front of her in a clearly injured state.
Moby had just activated his "Sin Mode" as he was now more comfortable with Natalia's moves and attack patterns. He did not want to go in blindly with sin mode at the start as he only had a limited 5 minutes of time to defeat her before its timer runs out. He had also been saving and forcing himself not to say most of his rants and insults as he was saving them for when sin mode was activated to maximize his power gains.
"Yes! Of course, this is me! Moby Kane! But don't you dare ever call me honey! That word is reserved for one person and one person only! Jayden Griffith!" Moby retorted in confidence, still walking up towards her.
As soon as he finished saying his words, he saw Natalia tightly clench her fists and grit her teeth before he felt a small power boost enter his body which told him that his words and new powers were working.
He remembered that the power boosts he gained depended on the emotions that his opponent felt towards him.
Anger = Strength
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnnoyance = Agility
Fear = Endurance
Shame/Embarrassment = Health Regeneration + Energy Regeneration
So, what he felt just then was most likely a boost in strength and agility due to her anger and annoyance towards him.
"Also, I know that that time when we were having our little "Date" you got wet from me just hugging you! That's just pathetic! I also know that you most likely have some sort of stash full of all my pictures and a vibrator in your pants to help you jerk off even on this planet! You dirty bitch!" Moby screamed as Natalia look away with a frown and a slightly red face, making Moby regain most of his lost health and demon energy as he felt his broken bones being regenerated and his bruises fading away in the blink of an eye.
"Unlike what you think, I am the one in charge of Jayden! I am her one and only master, not the other way around like you thought! All of this was planned by me! Not her! I always had this power, I was just lying to the group about it to give me an excuse to use it. Also, due to your constant abuse of Jayden, we decided that it was time to kill you… However, Then I changed my mind. I thought that you could join us if you were able to cope with everyone in the group. But then, I soon realized that it could not be done and that you were beyond saving…" Moby continued.
"You are lying! No way that you were the leader all along! But you were right about one thing! I would never join such a group! Me and you should be alone! Alone and together! That's how it must be! I would rather die than live in a world that we are not together in! That is why I will make it happen… Even by force! I've tried being nice. BUT NOW I SEE THAT IT WAS ALL USELESS!!" Natalia screamed in outrage, rushing towards Moby with a quick blink, slashing towards his face before cancelling her attack, blinking behind him for her actual attack which Moby just casually blocked with his sword, not even bothering to turn around.
He had her attack patterns almost memorized and with his extra strength, speed, and regeneration he was able to much more easily keep up with her. For some reason, he also felt more comfortable using his previously straining eyes of sin. He did not know why but he just thought of it as an extra bonus to sin mode.
After blocking her attack, Moby flipped his sword towards its hilt side and struck her in the stomach before she even had the chance to blink.
Then, as she was being blown away, she felt an invisible tug on her torso making her unable to blink before it started to pull her back towards the demon-like beast in front of her.
"GET OVER HERE!!" Moby screamed as he pulled her in.
Then, he slashed down towards her chest to deliver a fatal blow. This forced Natalia to block with her blade. Suddenly, Moby abandoned his sword, ducking down under Natalia's attack before grabbing her face with both hands as to not let her blink before kneeing her straight in the face, breaking her nose and several teeth, sending her flying away, crashing on a large tree in the distance.
He now found out that if she was being grabbed by something, she was unable to blink. He could use that to his advantage by grabbing her with his demon hand before she has the chance to blink or destroy it due to it being so fragile. This would have also had the added bonus of greatly annoying and enraging her, even further boosting his strength and speed.
Moby picked up his sword off the ground and began demon flashing straight towards Natalia who was desperately trying to catch her breath.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Did you know that I was the one that saved you from that worm on the first day of the exam when you killed Neia!? Do you know why! It was because I wanted the pleasure of torturing and killing you myself and that worm would have given you far too light of a death!!" Moby roared as they clashed blades, feeling himself grow stronger the more that he talked.
"SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!! THAT CAN'T BE TRUE! I WAS SAVED BY THE HEAVENS!!" Natalia screamed, slashing at Moby with all her might, forcing him to block. Then, she slashed her second blade towards his lower torso prompting him to jump above it, as he grabbed Natalia by her long hair before thrusting the sheath of his sword straight in her stomach, forcing her to grunt in pain.
"Do you think that I am stupid or something! I saw everything! From stalking me and my friends, to all those weird, disturbing faces that you were making, to trying to kill any and every girl that got even remotely near me! How pathetic do you have to be to resort to such a thing just for some petty high school crush! You crazy slut!" Moby continued as they clashed blades once more, feeling himself grow even stronger as he started to even further overwhelm her.
Every time Natalia tried to blink towards Moby for an attack, he was always somehow able to predict where she was going to appear due to his far greater speed and future foresight, counter-attacking every time which enraged, annoyed and confused Natalia all at the same time.
"WHAT THE FUCK! HOW THE HELL DO YOU KEEP GETTING STRONGER! ARE YOU SOME SORT OF DEMON!" Natalia shrieked, slashing down towards Moby with both her blades like a crazed lunatic.
"Yes… Indeed I am…" Moby replied with a devilish grin, forcing his demon energy-infused blade into Natalia's stomach, not allowing her to blink away due to him grabbing onto her with his devil's hand, forcing her to grunt and cry out in pain.
Then, suddenly, when Moby released his sword from her insides to dodge an incoming slash, Natalia immediately disappeared and blinked away leaving a small vortex-like black hole in her wake.
'Fuck! She is finally pulling out her trump card!!' Moby inwardly cursed.
