Strength

The Headless Horseman rides toward the Devil of Strength. Strength smiles and lunges forward. He punches the horse in its neck. Before he does, the Headless Horseman jumps off the horse. Strengths arm goes through the horse as it vanishes into thin air. The Headless Horseman lands on Strength and straddles him. He raises his sword above him and starts to bring it down. Strength punches him and knocks him off. He starts to get up when Larion kicks his head. He falls back down and Larion stomps on his chest. Strength grabs his ankle and tosses him. As soon as he does a sword cuts into his shoulder. It comes from his left and he quickly punches the blade. This causes it to fly off and he turns around. He kicks the Headless Horseman in the chest as Larion grabs him from behind. He wraps his arm around Strength's neck and chokes him. Strength grabs his arm and squeezes. Larion grunts in pain before looking up.

"You should get out of the way!" The Headless Horseman shouts from in front of him. He's standing three feet away. His sword is glowing with dark red energy. Larion uses his free arm to slam his elbow onto Strength's head. This loosens his grip allowing him to get away. The Headless Horseman trusts his sword forward and impales Strength with it. The dark red energy envelops Stength's chest. Strength shouts in pain before a bright blue energy wraps around him. He spreads his arms and kicks the Headless Horseman again. He gets knocked back but keeps his grip on his sword. The red energy dissipates and shows his blue skin has been charred. Larion kicks Strength from behind, right on the bloody hole in his back. Strength stumbles forward with another grunt of pain. He kicks behind him and Larion dodges it. Strength jumps back as the Headless Horseman swings for his neck. Larion rushes him, punching him in the jaw. Strength doesn't attempt to block, and instead punches Larion in the chest. Larion steps back and coughs up blood. The Headless Horseman brings his sword down on Strength. He blocks it with his arm and goes to punch the Horseman's chest. Larion grabs his wrist and bends it, causing a crunching sound to fill the air. Strength flinches in pain and the Horseman presses his sword down. He connects with his neck before getting kicked back. Larion punches him in the face before jumping back. Strength grabs his broken arm and pulls his wrist. A dark blue energy wraps around his arm and it cracks again. It dissipates and he starts moving it around, opening and closing his fist. "That's an impressive recovery." The Headless Horseman states.

"Yeah, but he has to use his mana for it. His mana pool is abysmal though. He can only do that three more times tops." Larion says and the Horseman nods by moving his head up and down. Strength rushes them and swings for Larion. He aims for his neck and Laron ducks. He punches Strength in the chest before getting kneed in the gut. Larion steps back and the Horseman swings for Strength's neck. Strength raises both hands to block and the blade stops an inch in. The Horseman tosses their head into the air. It flies about fifteen feet up as they grab their sword with both hands. They pull back and immediately swing for Strength's neck again. Strength raises his left hand to block and pulls back with his right. The Horseman connects with his arm and cuts through to the bone. He presses his arm back and Strength has to use his other arm to catch it. He stops the blade an inch from his neck as Larion runs up. Larion jumps up and kicks the blade with all his strength. It cuts into Strength's hand and connects with his neck. It draws some blood but can't cut any deeper. Blue energy envelops his arms and he swings them, causing the Horseman and Larion to get knocked back. The Horseman quickly runs around and catches his head before it hits the ground. Strength growls out in anger before raising his hands. Dark blue energy envelops his hands and solidifies. His hands get covered in a blue set of gauntlets. Each of them has three spikes, each a few inches long.

"What is that? Some kind of weapon?" The Horseman asks Larion.

"Kind of. That's his Nuru. Be careful about those spikes. They can cut through flesh and bone with ease. Not to mention his attacks hit harder with them." Larion says and the Horseman lifts his head up and down to nod. Strength rushes them and swings for Larions chest. Larion jumps back and the Horseman brings his blade toward Strength's leg. Strength blocks with the spikes and swings his other toward the Horseman's face. Larion jumps and kicks Strength in his shoulder. Strength gets knocked back and grunts. He roars in anger and as he does so, another much louder roar overlaps his. They turn and see a Dragon standing in front of the Glass Devil.

"Glassy!" The Devil of Strength shouts. Larion kicks his knee and makes him kneel. As he does so the Horseman thrusts for his neck. Strength punches it, sending it above him before running forward. He punches the Horseman in his gut and knocks him back. Larion kicks Strength in his neck. Strength falls back as he starts coughing. The Horseman uses this chance to cut into his shoulder. He cuts an inch deep before Strength pushes it out and punches the Horseman. He falls back as Larion takes his place.
