The wind blows across the shattered Tokyo outskirts, the cold air could be felt through the dust and scorched concrete. The dueling barrier hums faintly at the edges of the destroyed blocks.
Your fist has just sliceed through Dabura’s left leg. The stump ends clean above the knee. His extended earlobes sway once as he shifts weight onto the remaining foot. Dabura's three red eyes regards the wound without pain.
He looks down at the stump for two seconds.
“Is the Earthling sorcery capable of healing people as well?”
A small breath.
“I remember Maru and Cross mentioned a special healing technique.” Exhale. “Such a thing doesn’t exist in Simurian sorcery.”
Palm swinging under the stump, feeling nothing.
“How does one heal with negative cursed energy?” He tilts his head just a bit. “Is there a technique that transforms negative energy into another form of energy?”
Dabura narrows his third eye in the middle. Then his shoulders ease from the earlier tension.
“Heh.” Barely heard. “Got the hang of it.”
As positive energy surges through his leg at a controlled pace. His flesh rebuilds itself. His bones, muscle and skin. Six seconds. Leg whole again. He kicks his leg a few times.
“Earth’s sorcery…” Quiet, almost appreciative. “…seems pretty advanced.”
You close in on Dabura immediately. Swining your fist down. He blocks it with his forearm. Higher above the two of you, Naunax breaches the cloud cover, the concealment barrier tearing away.
“Maru…”
He says softly, his voice is nearly lost to wind.
“I see it now.”
His eyes look past you to the shimmer where the sorcerers’ barrier meets open air.
“Am I supposed to set a barrier like this?”
His arms rise slow. Palms open. A small black sphere forms between his hands. A void black, perfect. It pulses once before expanding smoothly, swallowing you both.
As blocky structures rise in jagged heights, some short and tall edged rock, others swallowing light entirely. A single massive sphere floats behind him
Dabura's domain is complete.
Otherworld Between Darkness and Light: Reverse Transcendence.
“Show me. How far does an Earthling’s Sorcery truly reach?”
