Codename: Tsaritsa | A Sequel to "Codename: Childe"

10

After giving it your all in effort of turning the tables, Signora's whip swipes the top half of your sword off like a hot knife to butter.

Your eyes widen with fear.

"Oh shi-"

She hops back and outspreads her wings. Atop her was a form of fiery rain headed towards you. You preform several backhand springs to avoid the attacks. The aftermath catches up to you, quickly. You're blown off your feet and land onto your backside.

Signora bursts into a psychotic tambre while you only grip your beheaded sword. You weakly get up to your feet. The room is starting to really heat up, sweat coats your body.

Come on, Y/N... come on...!!!

Your breathes short and heavy and arm still in pain. You hold your sword with both hands. The air was ashy and hot yet you still take a deep breath, calming your nerves. With one strike Signora with a daunting stare before charging towards her once more. Signora smirks. She spins rapidly and turns herself into a fiery tornado. You halt in your tracks and leap out of the way and avoid her. Several other fiery tornados emit from the first tornado's flames. One headed towards immediately meets your sword. You push it back with just enough strength and send it hurdling back at Signora. The projectile knocks her out of her move.

You swoop in to chain your attack. Signora casts her whip to the side, you drop to your knees and slide beneath it and immediately get back on your feet, looking up at her towering figure.

She casts her other arm in a downwards motion in accordance with her newly summoned blade of fire. You successfully step to the side. You jump up and swing your arm across her face. Attacking her with the pommel of your weapon. She stumbles back a bit. Your land onto the ground with grace. Your tattered top runs with the gust of wind caused my the harsh flames surrounding the battlefield.

Your hair is glued to your face, your lips blood red and dry, as you took deep, hot breaths to fill your lungs.

Signora makes a face at your before hastily rushing towards you, to which you do the same. She spells her whips in both hands.

Both of you clash. Weapons meeting at every attempt and landing an onslaught at one another. As one hit locks and disengages, you strike herabdomen with a ice-influemced thrust. She grunts in pain before growling. She lashes back with a whip of fire slapping at your leg.

It goes back and forth; you strike her side, she whips your face, you slash at her shoulder and she whips your other arm. You two are practically almost a hit away from collapsing. Both of you know that very well. You two leap back with caution. Thoroughly thinking of your next moves.

It's nothing but silence and the sound of crackling flames. Both of you slowly walk in circle while straing off with each other.

"Are you happy, Signora...?"

Signora is silent.

The only sound heard was the crackling of the flames as you stared each other down.

"I never thought it would come to this..." you continue.

"Lady Y/N, you fight well. You have such bravery to face me. For that, I applaud you. But I'm afraid one person must live-"

"AND THAT WILL BE ME-!" You screamed.

With one sharp move you rush forward with all the strength you can muster. She takes a while to summon her whip. Your sword is overlaid in ice. You put your all I to this last attack. The top half of your sword is rebuilt with Cryo. Signora casts her arm diagonally. You attack with your full power.
