Pride stood in shock as Mori floated above him in the air "LIMIT BREAK: DEATH KNIGHT!", Mori growled the name of his new power. Pride was in shock and confusion, seeing Mori this strong had obviously gotten to him. Pride thought to himself "How?! I just severed you in half. I was supposed to take over your body the second you died....", his eyes began to shake "So why?". Mori waved his hand just once, causing Pride's chest to cut open, Pride was dumbfounded before Mori coldly said to him "Hey, Pride. You're shaking.", Pride's eyes widened with anger "YOU... YOU BASTAAARD!", he screamed. Just by yelling, an enormous amount of power had surged out of him, spikes started petruding of his hands, giving his arms a new structure and making it look like it was an arm made out of an armour of bone. As dangerous levels of power was displayed in rage, so much power to destroy a continent, Pride raged out, both his hands crossed together as he prepared a huge burst of energy on the palms "YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN BEST ME SO EASILY? I'LL SHOW YOU! I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT I CAN DO!". Mori flew in, moving tens of times his previous speeds, and then kicked Pride straight on the face, sending the manifestation of his arrogance flying. Mori stood for a moment and said "Then just do it already!", before flying after him. Pride growled "YOU BASTARD!", and flew straight at Mori after being kicked into the air, his bone armoured hand was ready to kill him with a swift stab. Mori's right arm turned into a sword of energy and was able to clash with Pride's arm, they both struggled to overtake each other in their clash before their eyes narrowed as they started blitzing around the sky at terrifying speeds. They flew around in the air at reckless speeds, clashing with each other in a flurry of strikes. Both Pride and Mori seemed to be even at the moment, their skillfull and brutal fight was strong enough to cause slashes of energy to fly around the entire lands. Mountains were instantly sliced into pieces like before, and even the floating constructs were shaking. The fight raged on as they ran after each other at ground level, Mori had the edge in speed, but this didn't stop Pride from shooting spikes of bones at him, his hands had already turned into cannon like weapons made from bones covered with his blue power. Mori ran and dodged, turning both of his arms into swords of energy and then cutting every bone that shot at him. Mori had gotten tired of slicing and cutting and then thought it was a good idea to rush at his enemy and then kick him straight into the air, which he did. From that kick alone, Pride was sent blasting through the floating rocks that were in the skies of the dimension he was in, as he crashed aimlessly, Mori dashed in at even more speeds, trying to kill him. The two continued their intense battle in the constructs, moving with terrifying brutality in combat as well as harnessed skills, Mori's sword swinging while Pride's arms were parrying the swings. Although, Mori was now the one taking the edge in the fight, he was able to bash Pride around wity brute force while making sure to counter and cut through every attack that was thrown at him, he was even able to cut Pride's chest open with a slash from the shoulder down to the torso and then kicked him outside the structures, causing him to fling down to ground lenght. Pride landed to the ground with a skillfull backflip and pointed his bone cannon arms upwards "YOU WANNA PROVE YOU'RE STRONGER? FINE! THEN YOU CAN DIE WHILE TRYING!!", he screamed as he shot powerful beams of energy from the cannons. Mori dashed downwards with all the speed he had, weaving through the air before turning his energy swords for hands into actually arms of energy and then punched Pride on the throat "YOU SCREAM TOO MUCH!", Mori exclaimed with anger. Pride coughed out a huge amount of blood, he spun around due to the blow and went for a punch against Mori, only for Mori to parry the punch with that of his own. Suddenly, in a quick burst of speed, they started to exchange blows in a flurry of hand to hand combat, every blow they threw was moving absurdly fast as the impact flew around, causing debries to scatter around the place as they fought. Their hand to hand combat was brutality mixed in with unbelievable skill, one wrong move and parry could cause a fatal knock out. Mori and Pride swerved, flipped and kicked at each other. Each move from either of them was meant to break and kill instantly, the both moved incredibly fast as they fought, and their foot work was also very raw and fast. Mori thought to himself, grabbing Pride by the head and just punching him brutally on the skull "This reminds me of the fight Alex and I had back at the assassination exams.", Mori remembered sitting on the floor with his injured body while Alex stretched out his hand after winning "I'm not some kind of hero who preaches about justice, but when somethings wrong, its wrong. That God complex of yours isn't good for you, Mori.". Mori also remembered the second fight he and Alex had not to long ago, he thought "And when we fought the second time, he won again.". Back from his memories, as Mori fought Pride, he asked himself "Isn't there away for me to beat him at all?", his lips curled into a grin "I guess not.". Pride rushed in at Mori, dealing all sorts of blows to him without Mori being able to counter. Each punch from Pride was something Mori couldn't counter, blood shot out of Mori's body as he took hits that had dangerous levels of force behind them, Pride had momentarily gotten stronger than Mori. Pride screamed out with furry as he relentlessly blasted Mori with unbelievable strength, causing the Katakuri's armor of energy to slowly fade off "YOU! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE STRONGEST ONE AROUND, YOU WERE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE. YOU WERE TRAINED BY THE STRONGEST SWORDSMAN IN THE WORLD, YOUR FATHER, BORN FROM THE STRONGEST SWORD CLAN AS WELL. AND YET....", Pride started to picture Alex and the rest of their group of friends "You let those insolent WEAKLINGS GET TO YOU! YOU ARE A DISGRACE, NOTHING MORE. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE STRONGEST ONE, I SHOULD BE THE ONE PEOPLE FEAR! ME AND ONLY ME, SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO'S BETTER THAN THEM!". Mori had had enough of Pride's whining, he struggled to get up passed his rapid punches. Mori clenched his fists after being able to struggle forward "YOU...", and proceeded to punch a hole through him with a blow "TALK TOO MUCH!". Pride coughed out blood as a result, the energy surrounding Mori's arms and face dissappeared as well. Mori explained with aggression as Pride kept punching him with both arms even tho Mori had blown a hole through his chest with a punch. Mori started to think of the elite squad "You're talking as if you don't know how strong they are. Each of them have their own distinct behaviours and personality. Not just that, but they're all so strong individually.", he continued to talk in his growing rage "You claimed you're a true Katakuri, but everyone true Katakuri knows this rule. NOT A SINGLE PERSON OF THE CLAN SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHTS TO TALK BAD ABOUT THEIR COMRADES, BE IT FROM THE CLAN OR OUTSIDE IT!". Pride's eyes widened as he looked at Mori who's face was shadowed with rage, his right pupil gleaming with aggression as his hair blew due to the wave of wind generated by the punches that had stopped dealing damage to him "You're a fake!", Mori said before tearing down through Pride's torso with a single hand motion, the hand that had punched a hole into the enemy that was Pride. Mori called out, his voice like a beast "Katakuri Combat Style: Claw Draw!".
