"I'm a god. And my name's Sphairos." He said, his smile growing bigger.
Unable to get words out, Yamikuro just stuttered. He then slapped himself, trying to wake himself up, but that didn't work. Holding his cheek, he stared at Sphairos.
"Don't worry, I don't have to kill you... If you'll work with me. Let me extract the Darkness from you and I'll be on my way."
"The Darkness...? No, you have me confused for someone else." Yamikuro took a step back.
"Do I? How do you explain the countless bodies laying all around, this must've been done by someone with powers strong enough to even take all of them down."
Yamikuro's eyes widened, when he thought about Isabella. "Could this have been her doing?" He looked around the bodies to see if she stood out, "Where even is she?"
"I was here, watching all of it. You also killed the girl that was with you, Darkness wielder."
"What?" Yamikuro's stomach dropped, his heart racing even faster.
"As they suspected, you're not in control of your power. I'll just take it before you cause any more harm, alright?" Sphairos stretched, getting ready to move.
"Stay away from me!" Yamikuro yelled, backing up to almost the edge of the roof.
Closing his eyes, and taking taking a deep breath, four orbs appeared around him. "So it has to be this way. Fine by me."
Reaching out to one of his orbs, Sphairos jumped to Yamikuro's level. "This is the orb of gravity. I assume you know how gravity works, right?"
Extending the orb in front of himself, Yamikuro got pulled in, allowing Sphairos to reach out to him. Choking out Yamikuro, the orb disappeared out of his hand.
Yamikuro had to think quick, not being able to activate his power, he reached into his pocket, grabbing the broken device left behind by Isabella, he stabbed Sphairos with a sharp part of it.
Sphairos let Yamikuro go, grabbing onto his own hand and screaming in pain. "Damn you, Darkness wielder!"
Yamikuro wanted to run, but to where?
He was stuck on top of a roof, with no way to get down, Sphairos stood in front of the door that lead to the stairs. After recovering, he reached out to another orb, and threw it without warning.
Managing to dodge it, the orb hit the building behind him. The building that once stood tall was just gone, disappearing into thin air.
Sphairos seemed disappointed, standing still, almost as if he was toying with Yamikuro. He grabbed yet another orb.
"What do you think this does, Darkness wielder?"
Yamikuro didn't respond, he tried to run around, to dodge the attacks easier, but he tripped on a dead body. At this moment, he wanted to give up. There was no way to get out of here alive, especially if he wasn't able to activate his Darkness power.
Looking at the night sky, he couldn't believe the current situation. Yamikuro Asaki, the savior of Resonants, was one of them all along. He couldn't help but smile at the thought of that.
With his eyes closed, accepting his fate, he heard Sphairos scream, heat blowing over his body. "Isabella?" His first thought was.
He got himself up, and saw her slashing her sword and Sphairos stood there, trying to look for an opening.
"Isabella, you're fine!" He said, his shakiness and unease getting better.
Sphairos kicked her back, and quickly reached out for an orb. The orb, and Isabella's sword clashed, sparks flying everywhere.
Sphairos tried to touch Isabella with the orb but it was futile, the orb flew out of his hand, onto the streets below.
Standing there, amazed, Yamikuro watched the fight unfold. Isabella had an upper hand, continuing to attack while Sphairos had bleeding cuts all over, and couldn't do anything but tank the attacks.
Noticing one of Sphairos' orbs re-appear around him, most likely the one he used first, Yamikuro yelled, trying to be of some help, "One of his orbs is back, and it's the orb of gravity!"
When Isabella had to charge up her attack, Sphairos took the chance to jump backwards, grabbing the orb of gravity.
"Damn you..." He said, out of breath and in pain, "You're a human, so how? How am I struggling?"
"He'll pull you in, that's the ability of that orb!" Yamikuro yelled.
Reaching out his hand, with the orb, Isabella was pushed away. She flew through the rooftop enclosure, and onto another rooftop.
"Wait no... Was it my fault she lost?" Yamikuro's mind raced.
"...Now you, Darkness wielder. I'll kill you." Sphairos turned to him, struggling to talk.
"Who would've thought I'd need to use energy to heal myself against some humans like you." He said, his wounds recovering, and his breath returning to normal.
There cuts were still visible, but they weren't bleeding, and Sphairos was able to fight again, like he did before.
"I'll kill you before that girl gets here."
Sphairos grabbed onto his last orb he currently had and aimed it towards Yamikuro.
"Rest easy, although I was expecting more of a challenge from you."
Yamikuro's heart beat out of his chest when he felt himself reach the edge of the rooftop. One more step and he would've fell to his death.
It was either falling to death, or dying by Sphairos' hand. Being known as a hero, Yamikuro wanted to go out as one. He glenched his fist, putting on a serious face.
"I'll kill you!" He yelled, running towards Sphairos.
Startled, Sphairos laughed a little, "Where did that come from?"
Getting close to Sphairos, Yamikuro started throwing hands, as expected Sphairos dodged all of them. And Yamikuro suspected that Sphairos was still toying with him, but he didn't care. His anger had built up, and he was ready to unleash it.
After almost landing an attack, Sphairos kicked him away.
"I've had enough."
Ready to throw the orb, he said his final words to Yamikuro. "I wish you had entertained me a little more, but at least I'll complete my mission here."
The orb, making impact with the ground, exploded and Yamikuro was sent flying. Seeing Sphairos smile, a tear flew out Yamikuro's eye.
With his eyes slowly closing, in his final moments he saw memories of his parents. Not thinking about anything else.
"What a death... But we'll reunite soon, won't we. Mom, dad."
Isabella, who struggled to get up from the other rooftop, saw Yamikuro and her stomach dropped.
"Yamikuro!" She screamed, watching him fall onto the streets.
Her voice faded as Yamikuro's eyes completely closed.
Everything went dark.
Sphairos had won, Yamikuro couldn't do anything against a god, his heart stopped, blood spilling everywhere.
