"Did you really think that little pep talk would make that failure of a hero strong enough to beat me?" Carleen still had her hand around Kurami's neck, gripping it tighter with each breath she took.
"No, but via the power of plot armor, Barry should have beaten you. That was in the script." Honestly, Kai was starting to get annoyed. Barry was a hero, and he was weak as fuck. Kurami was back at full strength, had her power increased by him, and was using the spirit orbs, and still lost.
Now, he had to handle things himself.
"If this were Sarkylla, I would have been hands-on in this battle and killed you myself. But this is Eridani, and I'm not the hero of this place. I wanted to allow Barry to shine; I wanted to allow his companions to gain the power to make a difference themselves. But to have me step in and fight this battle."
