To Arthur's imminent disappointment though, Abaddon was still quick to react, causing both of the slashes from Excalibur to miss as he sidestepped and leaped behind the knight to put distance between them. "Unfortunately for you, that won't be enough." While he spoke, Arthur swapped to yet another different sword. When he did, Abaddon saw how the knight's energy signature fluctuated and changed in feeling. Looks like the swords were empowering him after all, or at least augmenting any abilities he might have already had. Your name, the swords and armor you wield, perhaps you do resemble that fabled king spoken of in legends. However... "You're obviously nothing like the real King Arthur. I doubt he would pull any of the bullshit you're doing. You killed three law enforcement officers for no reason!" Abaddon bared his fangs to "smile", preparing for another attack.

THE WILD HUNT 213 August 2, 2015 Share August 2, 2015 (edited) @@Jellal Fernandes A long tongue came forth from Abaddon's teeth to taste the air from the developing downpour. Nothing hazardous in the winds. Good. He remembered a time when his old foe, Ammit, had stirred up a heavy storm through the chaotic power of Set. His storm was nothing like Arthur's, as it brought forth a toxic torrent and hateful lightning that made many consider themselves to be lucky if they saw it strike the same place only twice."Ooooh, scary!" Abaddon mocked as the winds began to pick up. "You do realize a pathetic storm like this will be quelled in no time by the storm metas, right? Try talking big if you're channeling the power of forgotten gods."He probably shouldn't have gotten too cocky by talking, because Arthur had been given enough time to charge lightning through his sword and strike Abaddon with it. He hissed and clutched his chest in pain as it sizzled from the electricity. Arthur began charging towards the demon, and he likely would have made his mark again had Abaddon not morphed his body into a shadowy, amorphous form to slither under between his legs. Tendrils wrapped tightly around the knight's legs as this happened, forcibly pulling them backwards to cause him to fall flat on his face, and HARD due to the high speed he had been charging at. The surprise of the sudden change of movement and force from the ground collision would likely be enough to stun Arthur momentarily, giving Abaddon enough time to attack. On top of this, Arthur would likely lose his grip on the sword he was carrying."Asshole," the demon growled as he reformed into his more solid form. Tendrils lashed forth from his body, wrapping around the dazed knight to pick him up and forcefully slam him back into the ground headfirs before tossing him away in a different direction."You know, it amuses us that you name yourself after a noble king, yet everything you've done is worthy of execution. You endanger an entire city just to get back at one guy? Ha! Pathetic."----------Hateful eyes watched with glee from the Duat as Abaddon and Arthur fought. Ammit had been attracted by the developing storm, and was quite pleased to find his old enemy fighting at the scene. How fun would it be to strike him while he was busy with this delusional fool? Very, but no, even he knew that while Abaddon was focused on something else, he would still be able to perceive an attack on his (or their, if he included that Drevenon entity) being before it happened. Cunning, even the dreaded Apophis had admired this ability.For now he would wait, but perhaps he would emerge from the darkness of this netherworld sooner than he wanted to. His ancient gods screamed at him to attack, and even he had been enraged to hear Abaddon call them "forgotten".

A water bottle was also proffered, but since her hands were shaking she cranked the top off with her teeth, sniffing it suspiciously before taking a large sip and swallowing gratefully. Almost instantly she felt even a mite better, but that didn't help now that she was fully aware of the thing in front of her. All the same, before she could even really react to it, there was some kind of an explosion or something similar, and the demon took off. Eunae, for a moment, was tempted to give chase, but she still felt too close for comfort to whatever this darkness was, even as it fled. There had to be something else. The brushing of something cool against her face made her flinch slightly, but after a moment, the glow actually served to calm her, and she did exactly what he had said a few moments before and took a few deep breaths. Okay. So she was alive, and there was a lot of light in whatever this apartment was, and the thing had gone for now.

You're just one sad and shitty cosplayer who's let a bit too much power get to his head. You're a peasant." Arthur had then charged at Abaddon with a unanticipated speed, faster than before. The knight began to squeeze his head with superhuman strength that would have been enough to crush the skull of any ordinary human. Abaddon endured however, laughing at the perfect opportunity his opponent had given him for attack. Arthur would find himself grasping at nothing but shadow and slime as Abaddon morphed his body once again. Instead of dropping to the ground though, the amorphous mass slithered and spread over his arm towards the rest of his body. Dozens of tendrils began to restrain and constrict his limbs with enough pressure to make Arthur feel it through his armor. Metal crushing skin, muscle, and bone must have not felt pretty, but Abaddon did not stop there. His focus was the neck; he would strangle and crush the ignoble Arthur. Peasant, Drevenon hissed, Such a fitting term for one who is about to be killed like a mere rat of the field. "And for the record, I'm more than just a monster." ---------- Now was the time to show himself. Ammit would not allow Abaddon to kill the false king. During Arthur's time in The Murk, he had been observed by the Egyptian priest and his servants, and it had not taken long for him to conclude that Arthur would make an excellent "ally" for the things he had planned. He would promise Arthur the peace he intended to bring, but first he needed to free him from the demon. Tainted waters seemed to spring from nowhere in front of the struggling Arthur as Ammit emerged from the Duat. "It seems to me that you require help, kingly one." Ammit clanged the ground with his staff, causing a powerful burst of fire to leap up from underground and surround the struggling king. The armor should keep him from being terribly hurt, but it wouldn't be the same for Abaddon. The searing heat would hurt him greatly, or rather, it would have had he not immediately slithered away. Still, the radius of the burst flame was wide, and it managed to get some of him. Ammit smirked as Abaddon assumed his solid form, hissing and growling in pain. "Welcome back, demon. I see you've wasted no time in hunting the virtuous here on Earth again." "Hisss, so you've also come back after all. I wouldn't try to accuse me of 'hunting the virtuous'-" Ammit quickly cut Abaddon off. "Don't waste my time with your vile words, demon. This royal one here already stated he wanted to bring peace to this world, yet you still attempted to kill him. I would not allow that to happen of course." Ammit smiled arrogantly.

As much as he hated admitting it, Abaddon was no ordinary enemy one could just go in and fight without preparation. Hell, even with solid preparation, he was still a difficult one to face. He was under the impression that Arthur thought the demon to be fighting to his fullest, but truth was, Abaddon hadn't even started to let loose. If he did (and this would be likely to happen if the knight angered him more), Arthur would quickly realize he was in way over his head. The Egyptian mage saw something in the corner of his eye. He turned his attention away from the battle and towards... the same person he had blasted away earlier before. Oh, so this pathetic being was a metahuman.Oh well.

Things had dragged on for a bit, and Ammit still had neglected involving himself in the fight. Smart, looks like the ass had finally learned his lesson from all those times before. Abaddon was just about ready to attack the mage when he saw the flash bang on the ground. Instinctively, he jumped back and covered his eyes as the thing exploded sparing himself from its effects.
