This is sooo one sided.

[Embodiment of Cringe]

Until the stone is finished... I'll have to rely on that art... Faote pondered, as he took out what seemed like a bone out of one of a sack that strung to his side. Whatever god that's out there that... No, I believe God stopped watching over me long ago.
If that's so, then why did they judge you Daddy?
The thought came out of nowhere, but Faote immediately recognized it. Katherine?

His opponent was already on the battlefield. Deciding to push the thought away for now, the bone in Faote's hand began to glow, as it then quickly formed what seemed like armor around Faote. Then, they began to etch themselves with glowing markings, something probably only Faote could understand. Then, with the steel scythe in hand, Faote was ready. Ready to die anyways.

[Orph]

"I hear you're a friend of my son, if it comes to it you'll be given a painless death." Ararus announced, raising his right hand a ball of violet flame began to form within it's palm, it slowly began to harden into a solid flame like object. Within moments it launched towards the Alchemist like a God-Fire cannon ball. Which it was, Koty couldn't end the match quickly, he was a bit of an attention whore when it came to tournaments, it always made him want to show off.

[Embodiment of Cringe]

Moments before the fireball like object hit Faote, he turned his shoulder towards the fireball. And what happened next was...
The bone developed a mouth with sharp teeth and ate the attack. What was even weirder was that the entire bone armor started to develop mouths, as if they could devour anything. A few even tried to take a bit out of the Scythe Faote wielded, but to no avail.

Finally, Faote stood straight, as all of the slobbering jaws began to glow. What resulted was a larger and brighter blue fireball, that was hurled right back at Koty. This will hopefully buy me some time for the stone to finish...

[Orph]

But Koty didn't move, he instead fired another violet cannon-ball. As the God Fire was hotter and far more condensed it easily plowed through the larger blue fireball causing it to disperse. Ararus didn't blink or even breathe, he just stood there firing again and again, the area around him was becoming scorched just from the excess heat.

Raising his left hand black smoke began to condense in it, instead of violet cannon balls it fired condensed balls of corruption magic, if that armor ate this it would surely be corrupted and kill Faote.

[Embodiment of Cringe]

More of those things? My armor should be able to eat it all... Faote pondered. That was, until a few seconds before the corrupted balls of magic was near him. Almost immediately sensing the danger, Faote opened two portals; one in front of him and one behind him. The magic ball passed through, leaving Faote unharmed.
"You've probably already figured out regular magic isn't going to work..." Faote uttered, not really expecting Koty to listen in. He then laid a hand on a part of his armor with no mouth. "Sinner's armor, tier two."
The mouths stopped snapping and drooling. Then, spiraling spikes shot out of the mouths almost immediately, and they started to glow a dark purple aura of sorts.
Just a few more minutes...

[Orph]

With a smirk Koty's eyes followed the corrupted magic as it smashed into the barrier, instantly starting to corrupt the magical force-field and slowly turning it into a pitch black curtain that blocked out the audience's sense of sight and hearing, inside the arena it was now darker then dark. Even animals graced with night vision would be blind, there was literally no light unless it was created by the two beings inside.

"Can you fight in the dark, you might want to kill me quickly.. Now that you're in a entrapped area surrounded by corruption magic, the air will slowly turn to poison.. It will kill you and turn you into nothing more then rotted flesh in an incredibly short amount of time. Then I'll use your body as a puppet, maybe serve me drinks, or make me a sandwich. I do love sandwiches." Ararus said in the darkness, his voice coming from all sides. The glow of Faote's armor seemed to be absorbed into the smoke that was slowly filling the arena.

[Embodiment of Cringe]

"May your soul, whatever shreds that do nothing but hold on, resonate with ours. Mine and my daughter's." Faote chanted, his eyes beginning to flash between colors of blue and red. "Even if such a being like you have no soul, you are certainly living, for you are moving. You exist, and therefore you are capable of resonating with my soul and the one within me!" Faote shouted. He wasn't seeing the mortal plane now, no. His sight was now focused on a different plane entirely. Such is the effect of Tier two. It views everything, flesh and blood, death, souls... all these abstract ideas are visible to me.
Koty was clearly in his sights, whatever he was doing. I think the blood should be done being disinfected by now... Faote commented, as he opened three sphere-like portals all around him. One portal would take incoming attacks, another portal would repel them outwards.
The third portal? It bathed Faote in the blood he had collected. The blood all around him glowed a bright crimson, illuminating only a small part around Faote himself. "In the name of Faotemaru Veintarlach Derahnad, and the remains of my daughter's soul Katherine, I link our souls to this blood..." Faote chanted again, as the glowing liquid was then poured back into the lab. ... The stone should be finished pretty soon. ... Of course, something tells me the moment I take down these portals, that person is definitely going in for the kill.

[Orph]

Koty continued to shift places, he was never in one point in space longer then a few nanoseconds, but even then it was enough time for a well placed attack to get him, he had to keep moving. He smiled as he looked into Faote's multicolored eyes, his own violet peepers began to glow intensely, he wasn't going to give the man a chance to finish whatever he intended. The portals limited his attacking ability but the portals could only defend from certain attacks. The light from his very eyes began to leave his body, first in small droplets of violet water but not in began to pour out as if he opened a flood gate behind his pupils. The violet water become a shade darker as it came into contact with the corrupted air, it wasn't long now before Faote would just die of the very air around him.

But that was a slow and painful death, and Ararus made a promise. One that he didn't enjoy breaking. "Fire, has an opposite, I'm always remembered due to my ability to control violet flame.. But I always try to use that before I actually get serious.." He muttered, violet sparks began to shoot off of him into the water, the unknown type of water was now both electrified with an unknown type of electricity. Hell it was even corrupted, the only thing that was keeping Faote alive was the portals, and the moment they fell he'd simultaneously drown, be crushed, be electrocuted, and corrupted.

It would be an near-instant death, the sheer force of the magic in this would overload any Sage and kill him.

[Embodiment of Cringe]

He's doing... something. Was Faote's thoughts. That was, before he noticed exactly what. He was flooding the arena with corrupted water. Herm. This is quite a predicament. I kinda wish I still had the eclipse cannon, then I'd just make a portal and let it light up the whole place... I seriously doubt dumping all this water outside the arena is going to help either. Faote pondered the situation, attempting to keep calm.
In truth though, he was actually scared.
But then he remembered. If he died, Katherine had no way to exist. She at least deserved to rest peacefully.
... Fuck the stone. If I can't at least survive without relying on it... then what kind of father am I? A tear strewed down his face, as if in sorrow. "What kind of father am I?" He repeated the question to himself, and then slowly kept chanting it like a mad man. It wasn't long before his movements actually did mimic a madman. His hair began to change to a glowing white, the scythe he wielded this whole time began to crack with a gilded aura as well. His wings even began to glow pure white. The only things that weren't were his black clothes.
For a brief moment, he stopped his chanting. The glowing stopped. And then? The small place Faote was in exploded with a bright light, radiating with a plethora of colors, as it vanquished the water around him to nothing but steam. The corrupted air surrounding Faote burned by white flames.

The most noticeable thing was the white glowing outline of a gigantic raven, whose wings seemed to wrap around Faote in a protective gesture. He himself was just standing there amidst all of the steam, his head bowed. "I..." Faote barely made out, the poisoned air was beginning to get to him. "I refuse... to die." He finished his sentence, his head shot up, his eyes glaring at his opponent. "I refuse to die!" He screamed, his scythe finally broke with all the cracks to reveal a spear. A spear that glowed with gilded blue runes, it's metal was a fight between the colors of yellow, red, and green. The bone armor was no more. Whatever secrets it held would not be reveal any further.

[Orph]

As Faote released the energy and started to change Koty smiled, he knew that the Alchemist was a good person, and that was going to make killing him something that the God dreaded.. His own nature was that of the darker, no the darkest side. But even then he refused to let himself succumb to his own desires, if he had not been raised by Hikaru he would most likely of shed the seal without much effort. Such was the power he possessed, Ararus could mimic any power he came into contact with, something that always survived when he was shoved into a mortal form.. This made seals relatively useless, since the moment he became conscious of himself he could remove the seal without much effort.

But Hikaru gave him a reason to stay human..and he wouldn't betray her by being himself. The electrified water just seemed to fade away, but the barrier kept itself black, making sure that the audience could not truly see the fight.

"We both have someone we're fighting for, lets see who loves whom more." Koty muttered barely above a whisper. He continued to think of Hikaru, his guardian, his companion, his love. Slowly a violet light began to shine above the God's head, forming into a crooked purple halo that was outlined by a light crimson, it was a effect of their recent adventures into the Orion rituals. Even then he wasn't done, feathers began to just appear in air, they were a bright orange and seemed to be ablaze with a violet flame.. Bursting from his back were a pair of two wings, the feathers orange and burning with God Fire, a manifestation of the bond the two shared.

As the wings appeared a crossbow appeared in Ararus' hands, it looked simple except for a single rune carved into it's wood.

Destruction

[Embodiment of Cringe]

Faote wasted no time. In mere milliseconds, the outlines of the feathers of the translucent raven seemed to sparkle, as the raven itself spread it's wings. The feathers seemed to carve markings into the ground all around Faote... markings that resembled a transmutation circle. Faote then opened a small portal, small enough to fit his arm into.
He dragged out the glowing white heart in his lab. It was now radiating light more than ever before, it's light seemed as if it was burning the very air around it to something of purity. Every beat it made, the whole ground seemed to shake.
Faote smashed the heart into the ground, and the shaped that littered the ground began to explode in colors of white and gold.
"Few people ever understand what it means to intrude on God's realm." Faote barely uttered underneath his breath. "Well, if anything, this Koty guy is definitely looking at it." He finished, as he held the multicolored spear over the ever present light show.

The spear began to change. It was no longer a multicolored fight between hues, no... from it's sharp blade was now a spiraling aura that spread across the battlefield. The spear itself was pure, glowing light. There was no visible metal, but just... light. What Faote held in his hand was the Lance of Longinus.

"I dare you to shoot that. I dare you."

[Orph]

Shock, replaced by fear, shoved away by worry, and removed by untempered rage.

"His blood! His blood! His blood! His blood! His blood! His blood! His blood! His blood! I hate him! Hate! Hate! HE DID THIS TO ME! HE'S THE REASON I'M HERE! FOR ALL OF IT; IT'S HIS FAULT!" The normally calm and serene appearing God roared, obviously bothered at the sight of the lance. "I'LL KILL YOU! BATH THE LANCE IN YOUR BLOOD! MAKE IT CLEAN AGAIN! GET RID OF HIS BLOOD!" He continued to scream, the power normally kept in check by the seal was beginning to wake up, not entirely but it seemed that exposing someone like Koty with a spear covered in the blood of his brother was an entirely bad idea. Pulses of power began to shoot forth from his body, changing the very fabric of existence around him, visibly rippling reality around him.

Within moments the barrier that was blocking out the view for the crowd shattered and imploded, the area around him began to warp and morph into a mockery of what it should be, air was on fire, the ground under him turned to mercury, the audience went wild and began to kill each other, demons against demon, it was as if Koty's very presence made them into something smaller then what they should be. "HE'S HERE! CAN'T YOU FEEL HIM!? I'LL CONSECRATE THIS LAND WITH THE BLOOD OF A THOUSAND CHILDREN, BRING FORTH THE END OF DA- No, damn it kid! Kill me now you son of a bitch!" The God cried out, his wings turning black and into something to unspeakable and horrific to utter, his halo burnt up as literally thousands of chains shot forth from different parts of his body, the seal was continuing to weaken.

If somebody didn't do something soon, there would be no Koty, just "Him".

[Embodiment of Cringe]

Faote complied. He created a portal right in front of him, and then Faote created 8 more portals all around his maddened opponent.
Input portals, 1. Output portals, 8. Meaning he'll be stabbed eight times all at once with the same lance. May God forgive me for stealing this from his glorious heaven.

He plunged the lance into the portal. Whatever happened next all depended on if his opponent was capable of living through it.

[Orph]

Thunk.

The sick sound of the lance entering Koty's body in eight places was the only sound in the arena, the crowd had stopped clawing at each other's throats and just stared at the scene before them.. Koty, their God had seemingly lost, the Lance itself buried in his body. But that couldn't be; he was a God, he was THEIR God, he was the one being able to stand up against the God. Heh, the kid did it, even with the Lance it would take a sufficient morality behind it to do any actual damage.. Ararus thought, feeling his blood pour out from his wounds, knowing that they were mortal wounds and since the Lance was the one that did the damage, he couldn't heal them.

Then the pain and the realization hit. It had pierced his lungs, liver, spleen, heart, and his kidney. Damn this kid was good. He was going to die, and there was nothing he could do about it. So he did the only thing he could do, he laughed, raising his head as he stared into the sky he laughed with the force of a lunatic. Tears streaming down his face as his divine blood flowed from his body, he was going to die. Finally it was finished.

Stop it.

Yes you, stop it, your laughter is annoying me.

Did you really forget about me? You need to die three deaths, pestilence, famine, and finally war.. You are about to die the for the third time. Don't tell me you forgot Father.

"Oh, this is going to hurt." Koty muttered, his knees giving way as he fell down, struggling to roll himself over to his stomach.

It will..hurt that is.

And then it came, the pain, followed by the disorienting feeling of being in two places at once. "Aarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" He screamed out, his body was slowly covered in a white light, and the sound of hooves pounding against the earth, like a horse was running. Soon it was over, and Koty's body was gone, in it's place stood a stark naked boy with Gray hair and dark eyes.

"My name is Ryt, I'm Death."

[Embodiment of Cringe]

As Faote took the lance out of the portals and dispersed them, he couldn't help but pity the person he had just killed. That was, until his opponent transformed. ... What? Do I have to fight him too? Faote pondered. One quick look at the lance had shown that it hadn't lost it's power. It's luster still radiated, as the plethora of colors was still spiraling across the field.

"Uhm... I'm Faote. Faotemaru Derahnad."

[Orph]

"Despite the fact that my Father let you kill him, I still have to make sure you die.. It's a matter of principle." Ryt announced. "And due to the way we are born, you're still kinda fighting my Father."

[Embodiment of Cringe]

Faote's eyes widened at the thought, and immediately got back into battle stance. The white outline of the Raven, however, seemed to brush against Faote's head, as if trying to get his attention.
Hm? The stone is done? ... Alright then. Faote understood, and opened a small portal near him, small enough for his arm to reach in. What he pulled out was a black stone of sorts. It was a philosopher's stone alright, but powerless. Faote then changed the portal's output location, and grabbed a black block of unknown material from it. The device on his arm flashed, as a holographic transmutation circle appeared. He then held this black block up to it.

And with a flash, a levitating white heart, gold and white auras illuminated the small area around it. Faote took the stone that he just gained, and slammed it into the beating heart. The stone briefly flashed for just a moment, and then the heart disappeared, as if instantly sucked into the stone. The philosopher's stone was complete. It's dark red luster began to seep from it's center, as it faintly glowed.
Using another holographic transmutation circle, Faote made a chain necklace fitting onto the stone with one hand, and shortly put it on. "Like I told Koty, I'll tell you the same thing. I refuse to die." Faote stated, as the whiteness that surrounded him gave off another flash, as if he was renewing it's energy.

[K2]

In the middle of the battlefield, hellfire spewed up in a great formation as the form of a referee appeared. "Stop! I'm calling the match!"

He glanced at the form of Ryt. "While you claim to be son of Koty, I can not allow you to fight his match. If Koty is unable to fight, however, you will probably be allowed to fight in his place in the next match. If you are granted such permission by Lucifer, y-"

Suddenly, the shape of a hand giving a thumbs up appeared in a form of fire high above the battlefield before dissipating.

"I'll take that as a yes," the referee noted, "Very well, then. If Koty is unable to fight, you shall take his place. However; this match is over! Both contestants advance.. Unless Koty is in-fact still around, in which case, he shall not advance."

[Orph]

And Ryt did advance, and he didn't stop at the middle of the arena, he continued towards Faote and ignored the referee completely, he was intending to kill Faote as quickly as possible. Rules didn't even register in his head. He was moving fast, like way to fast for an average human to even see his blur. Whatever this kid intended to do, it wasn't going to end well for Faote.

[Embodiment of Cringe]

Daddy... Thank you. I'll... I'll let you rest now.
Katherine? ... What? What do you mean?

A blur immediately appeared in front of Faote. It was Ryt. Normally, Faote would do something about this and actually block or avoid or do some fancy tricks with portals. But that wasn't the case this time. In what felt like a millisecond, Faote was no longer in his body. No, rather, he was outside it, like a spirit of sorts.

He was... dead? Again? The fleeting moment that Faote saw himself, his body turned to face him and smiled.
"No! Katherine!"
"Please... you've done enough for me. Let me do you something in return."

[Orph]

"Two entities in a single form, one is artificial and female, other is male, very old and recently resurrected. " Ryt announced, looking at Faote with eyes that seemed to notice every single detail, jumping back around fifteen feet his face was absent of emotion, he looked like a statue. "Recreating stratagem, homunculus must be removed before killing blow, otherwise unacceptable causality's will occur." The boy continued to talk, sounding like a damn robot.

"Initiate."

As the word left his mouth the boy moved once again faster then a human eye could follow, his hand was outstretched like a dagger towards Faote's heart, it seemed that he was going for a killing blow early on.

[Embodiment of Cringe]

"No! NO!" Faote screamed in soul form, desperately swinging his arms back at his body which so happened to be inhabited by his daughter.
For me to properly remove myself, I must first be the primary inhabitant of your mortal coil...
"No Katherine! Don't! Don't do this!" Faote screamed, tears streaking down his soul face.
... And then maybe I can save you, instead of you saving me.[/b]
"Katheriiiine!"

A dark light engulfed Faote's body, as it quickly separated into two dark lit spheres. And as Faote was desperately clawing at nothing but air to save Katherine, he was sucked into one sphere. And then? two portals appeared, one for each sphere, as they quickly entered them with the portals closing in behind them.

Faote was gone. He was nowhere in hell.

[K2]

"Um.." the referee announced, "Faote is unable to continue? What a change in events! Well then, this man.. Er, Ryt.. Advances to Round 2! Clear!"

And then, fire swept down, and he was gone.
