Second Chances

"Things will be different this time," Yulia promises and then hits him with an undermine and he merely shrugs.

"Come down here and say that to my cock," he teases.

Yulia scowls as she pulls out the plasma rifle again and he laughs.

"Really... You haven't learne-" he starts before she casts open to create a channel in the water and shoots a plasma shot directly into his chest. His eyes go wide as he stares up at her, feeling the plasma burning his flesh. "You b-" he starts before she then responds by opening another path for a grenade directly into his open mouth.

It explodes and she's honestly surprised he's still alive as his head is basically torn to pieces. She watches him flop backwards a hand reaching up to his almost disintegrated head. Choked noises coming from his destroyed throat, practically more of a neck stump at this point.

"I think that was enough... In a practical sense.., but until you can't feel any more pain I'm not finished," she speaks and closes the distance, dropping down beside his body. She sees his hand still moving and reaches down, putting her hand on his groin and he tenses.

"You won't be needing this," she says before firing a point blank **** lance into his crotch. The unearthly, wet howl that escapes him almost makes her recoil, but then she remembers what he just did to her, what he did to her previously and what he did to her friends. She hefts the Weight of Righteous Justice and then does hesitate, not out of remorse or concern, but practicality.

"I don't know if I'll have time before the next fight..." she states and takes a few seconds to repair her clothes, enjoying his continued anguish until she's done. "I guess your resilience is something of a curse as well," she says as she finishes and he's still lying there, twitching and spasming in pain.

She hefts the Weight again and then turns it sideways slamming the flat of the axe down on his chest, hearing the crack of bone and the wet squishing noise as the heavy, blunt weapon crushes his bones and organs. She then lifts it again as he makes a noise somewhere between a gurgle and a wheeze and she sighs.

"Not much of a head left to cut off... but someone did ask," she says and swings the weight. His head is severed from his shoulders and he vanishes. Yulia slumps to her knees. Thinks about what she just did and decides she's fine with it.

"I have changed... but maybe being less of a pacifist... Letting myself feel a bit of sadistic enjoyment in punishing those who wronged me... It's not that bad..." she suggests and to satisfy curiousity she casts identify on herself.

"Yulia Maestra, Human, age 19, A church healer once loyal to the goddess Erimalia. Her faith in her god has been destroyed, entered the tower to find a cure for the plague that ravished her world and killed her," the identify returns and Yulia is shocked.

"I'm not... Undead anymore?" she asks confused. "The halo actually fully revived me... That's... I don't know how to feel about that," she says. As she's musing the water drains and she lands gently on the floor. Her body healed once again of all status effects and then everything goes dark and a mechanical whirring noise starts up. Yulia's suit lights up the area revealing the Manager hovering above her on it's rail system. It's screen lighting up with a smiling face.
