A cloaked figure that was tall and lanky in physique slammed into Hora! He was tall! At least standing at 3 meters with a hunch as a large fist coated black slammed into the muscular arms of Hora! The ground beneath him cracking while his body absorbed the force!
"Vice…Warden…" Hora grit through a cool demeanor "Virgil."
"You are not the only one who knows their opponent; Ritsuzen Hora. And here I was under the assumption that your execution in the level Erebus had gone through! But what else was I to suspect when not even bones or ichor was found of you…" The mans face was slim with a bird like nose. A large veil almost like a sack covered his face. It was a reddish knit material that made it hard to determine the look on the mans face. A top his head he wore a Tudor hat cocked to the side.
Meanwhile The Other Vice Warden, Canto was in the middle of fighting with the other half of the Quintet Group! Diva herself with the help of Mar-Syl fought with Dante!
The wardens closest comrades had all been waiting in wait until the first strike had succeed to leap from the shadows! It was fools game to anything alone one on one…Especially against a member of the Militia.
Styx was like an echo chamber of information. The moment that the Ferry Union had made it a level, and when Diva was seen, the Warden was immediately planning on how to intercept them. Figuring that if they were not going up. They must've been going down…
"Scroll Bind" Virigls hand dug into his dark colored robes and pulled a large scroll. He was scholar, and a philosopher. A believer in punishment of the wicked. And these scrolsl were imbued with Magics to help enact just that!
The Parchment unfurled itself, a sigil of circles and symbols glowing as it wrapped itself around Hora! Another Scroll unfurled and summoned forth a wooden sword! It glowed it a hue of blue and purple and slammed into hora!
Virgil Crossed his arms over his chest then shot them outward! "Seges, Agre, Arbor…Gregonics Vigil…" A Glow shot from around Virgil's hands! A glow from his palms of an aura before leaving his body like a cloud and expanding around Hora as he broke free of his bind!
With wide eyes! A light blinded him! And as his vision began to readjust…He stood.
In a field of wheat. Pain singed his torso as he realized the injury from the scroll. His fingers touched the singed flesh. If he had been normal in flesh he'd have been melted! His eyes narrowed as sweat dripped.
"A Vow Domain type?! That would mean the barrier would be self contained pocket…Allow for more size…! I had not expected this…" The Ferry Union new little of the very reserved and private sect of the world government that were the Highest Authority in Imperious Styx…
An ability such as this, was always kept close to a fighter. As they are often either the trump card, man ability, or a utility that needs to be kept secret. If not, it can be planned around and countered quickly…
"So. You know of the Firmament?" Virgil said as he appeared meters away.
From the outside, Mar-Syl took a hard hit from the wardens blackened hand! Scrapping and deforming the ground as he did! "The hell is that?!" He asked, seeing a strange mirage heat wave in the air in a 30 meter radius where the ability had been manifested
"A Barrier Reqia? That was unexpected!" Diva slammed her fist into the center mass of Dante! She could feel herself getting stronger and stronger as the proverbial rust of her inactivity of years in the prison began to shake itself off
The strike was Phosphorus Backed as she secreted a compound that ignited with the air, as a benefit of her Devil Fruit, she was immune to most chemicals deemed harmful, and if she produces it herself, in that moment, she was totally immune, such as to the burning 1,000 Degree plasma that sparked from her fist!
Dante roared in pain as he was pushed back with force! "Graah! Not…Bad ngh…More that…And you might just be a challenge…Hrah!" He Leapt forward! His hand transforming into a clawed furred hand with a flight glow! Slashing across the air! Diva jumped backwards, her vest getting nicked by the large near foot long claws of the Warden!
His grimace began to snarl deeper and deeper! The facial stubble began to grow slightly almost to a five o'clock shadow, teeth growing and sharpening. Canines lengthening as drool began to drip from his maw!
But before the Warden could leap and strike! A crater formed behind him! Dust shooting up into the air from the ground! Leroy standing with in the crater, steam rising and a grimace on his face!
"Im not done yet!" He screamed! Leaping forward and shattering the ground! As he soared, he allowed his body to deactivate the blood boost, letting him conserve his energy as he grew his foot to meters tall! Shooting it up into the air! "Titanic! Mortar!"
He brought it down with as much speed, as much strength! As much pure anger fueled force as he could muster! With a low growl, and a spittle shooting from his mouth, Dante Attempted to swipe! But he had not been expecting the readmission of the man he'd just thrown over 200 meters into the air!
The leg slammed into the visored helmet! Cracking as the claws impaled into the enlarged flesh of the Pirate atop him! The shock wave…Was Catastrophic!
The ground beneath both of them shook! Quaked and shattered into dust as the vibration continued to reverberate through the entire dozen kilometers of the Prison! As if it were a mid magnitude earthquake!
The impact was so great! That the shock wave shot out from around the prison and for kilometers around! Propagating through the water! A large wave crashing across the surface!
But…
As the shell of the helmet fell away to to the sides to reveal the buzzed square and sturdy face of dante…Only a single droplet of blood from a minor cut on his hair line came down…if merely pierced by a needle…
"All of that…For a drop of blood?" It had happened so fast, that Leroy didn't realize he was in the grip of the man, leg bleeding from the claws as his other hand fingered and smeared the blood betwixt his digits…
"Grrr….Rahhgh!" He growled as he began to grow! Larger and larger! Fully embracing the transformation into a proper hybrid! Embers began to leave his eyes…
