Ari saw the man grit his teeth into a smile as he looked at her.
"Oh I'm sure they are busy slaughtering your people. Even if they were killed, well, you'd only be helping me if I were to be completely honest. But that's beside the point Arianna. Today, you die. It is a simple fact. If you think you stand a chance against me alone...."
Felix then reached behind his back. And he drew two massive knives. They were curved and heavier at the ends as their backs bent forwards. Kukri knives, are what Ari saw. One of them sparked to life with electricity which gave off blue sparks and a current. While the other seemed to freeze and give off a frosty mist.
"Well....I suppose I put my faith into the wrong sibling."

Arianna's plan at this rate was.. more simplistic than she thought: avoid the electric blade and it's current by targeting Felix's hand, parry the frostbitten one, and stunning him. She knew that he was a mage.. it would take much to bring him down. Arianna held out her conjoined Blades of Mercy and let them become two, each blade jagged and sharpened, intended for slashes, stabs, and defensive combat. She merely kept both blades held outwards, her right foot placed forwards while she kept a straight posture - waiting for combat, it seemed.
-
Felix raised his arms to the air, and suddenly exploded and the cries of hundreds of animals filled the room as where he stood now hosted hundreds of bats. One side gave off a frosty mist while the other gave off shocks of lightning. These elemental bats separated and flew off like herds. The electric bats went to Ari's left while the frost bats came on the right, and soon enough the electric herd stormed towards her location.
-
Arianna merely waited for the horde to come close, as she then immediately strafed to the left of the electric bats. She prepared herself for two outcomes: one where Felix would reform, or the frost bats would begin an assault.
-
The former ended up being what happened as the electric bats smashed into the frost bats, which immediately resulted in Felix taking his form once more.
-
Arianna turned her head towards the formed Felix, allowing her dagger to be conjoined again as she pulled her pistol and fired two rounds, checking his reaction speed.
-
Felix raised up his fist with his kukri in hand. A small barrier formed in front of Felix, which covered most of his front. It looked almost like a mirage as the bullet shot into the barrier and floated in the air as they were halted. He jerked his hand and the ward collapsed, the bullets falling to the ground. "Please Arianna. Don't use such a petty weapon against me!" He yelled as he slid his electric blade across the frosted one, and a small beam of Ice and electricity went flying at Ari like a storm.
-
Arianna merely smiled in return, her body surging with newfound energy as she slid underneath the compacted combination of electricity and frost. Standing up, she circled around Felix still, the pistol raised and aimed to his forehead as she herself spoke. "Each spell that you cast, I inevitably draw from your seemingly infinite power, learn more of your capabilities, and develop new strategies to cut you down. For such a benevolent man, you stand at an impasse with a foolish clone of a mass murdering bitch. Though it [i]is[/i] early into the fight.."
-
"You can hardly withstand my power girl." The vampire told her as he pointed his blade towards her and circled around the room as well. "You would die before you could EVER see the end of it!"
-
"Hardly? Bitch, you've thrown magic at me. I've seen better from crazed Hunters in Yharnam." Arianna began to sprint towards Felix, though she didn't lunge or attack him just yet. She would wait for that long.
-
Felix leapt back, moving across the room like he was held by strings. He twirled his blades and stood firm. "Don't compare me to such lowlife scum Arianna. Especially from such a dirty place such as your mothers upbringing. Or whatever she is to you."
-
"Hey, she taught me how to play people like a fiddle. That's why you're hoping away, right? You're afraid." Arianna chuckled as she continued to sprint, hoping to get close to her opponent, or trap him into a corner.
-
Then, Felix suddenly exploded into bats which swept by Ari. Then, they took the form of Felix as he slid by Ari, cutting at her side as he used his electric kukri. The shock sent her flying and crashing into the chair.

Edited by Weeaboo Of War: 6/23/2017 1:13:40 AMArianna was thrown back indeed, groaning in pain as the electricity jolted through her. She rose up, forcing herself off of the throne as she returned to combat.
-
"It's too bad that this is my orchestra then." Felix told her as he sheathed both his knives behind his hip and electricity began to give off his arms. He suddenly shot them forward and two bolts of lightning shot out towards Ari.
-
The first bolt, Arianna had dodged - the second slammed into her left shoulder, scorching her very being. Arianna merely gritted her teeth, her arm burnt and armor smoking. She beckoned Felix forwards, shrugging off the agony.
-
Felix walked closer to the girl. He held his hands out as a spear made of blue electricity formed in his hand. Then, the entire thing became coated in ice. Ari was standing at the north west corner of the room, or at least nearing it.
-
Edited by Weeaboo Of War: 6/23/2017 10:41:08 PM"Heh, come on. Let's hope that isn't the best that you can do, magician." Arianna said painfully, yet grinning towards Felix in an oddly uncontrollable manner. She beckoned him forth, circling and now, practically against the wall, though getting away from the corner.
-
"Girl, you won't live to see my "best." Like a bug see's the bottom of a shoe, you will only see a fraction of my power before I smear you across the walls!" He insulted Ari as he lunged towards her, his spear thrusting towards her chest as he closed the gap.
-
Edited by Weeaboo Of War: 6/24/2017 12:40:49 AMArianna merely slid by Felix, strafing to her immediate right as she slashed at his left arm with her blade - she had intended for a charge, escaping the cornered position and hoping that Felix would ram his spear into the wall due to his lunge.
-
The spear exploded into an electrical explosion as it hit the wall, but Ari had already avoided it and successfully cut the Prince's shoulder. He hissed in pain as he turned to her and shot another lighting bolt in her direction as blood flowed from the deep wound.
-
"Gotcha, bitch-" Arianna said with a cockiness (which almost rivaled Irina's attitude) as she suddenly ducked underneath the bolt, placing her hand against the flooring as the bolt came close to scorching her back. She rose up, regaining her concentration and preparing herself for Felix.
-
However, as she raised her head she felt a hand grasp her throat. She felt her feet leave the ground as Felix looked her in he eyes, a hunger behind his orange flow. She felt like apart of her was leaving her, like someone was sapping her of strength. Then, Felix threw her to the ground, and drew his kukri's once more. "Foolish girl. Don't celebrate prematurely." He told her. As she looked up, she saw that his arm was bleeding significantly less.
-
Arianna gagged from her pain, studying the changed condition of the wound and sighing painfully. "The consumption of "life essence...?" She muttered to herself, rising up as she backed away into the center of the room, hoping to not be cornered again.
-
Felix twirled his blades as he neared Arianna, his eyes focused intently on her and her alone.
-
Arianna didn't hesitate, beginning to circle Felix as he began to approach. She longed for him to attack, as she wasn't too eager to start jabbing away at him.
