The Duel of The Heartless

Looking up towards the monster, it became noticeable that her eyes had changed to a hazel color the other the scarlet red of a rose. Her calm body was now straight with either the confidence that corded her mind or tension lined into her muscles.
"Crux come" a string of red and black blood rose from the gravel. Once it was a total straight the black encircled it, copying cruxs dna it transformed into the shape and features of crux. The replica rose and stood straight, yet in the same moment it saw the claw falling towards leona her body disappeared and reappeared directly behind leona with her arms raised stopping the blow completely, showing no sign of strain.
"Where do i strike first crux?"
"Attack the eye looking piece and look for the cube that absorbed the cube. Try to get the two in one vertical strike, so if one failed the other will follow."
"Alright,hold that arm steady"
At her words leonas arms turned to the dark aura and they spiraled over the whole are that had attempted to strike leona, while her other arm attempted to grab the other arm that was not yet trapped.
While she made the attempt and held the other arm leona lunged forward, the tattoo covering her armed turned to the picture of a sword with a shuriken covering its pommel. And with its appearance the shuriken left her hand solid black sword replaced it.
Soon she was close enough to strike. Her wings folded to her back and her body flipped through the flip , she released the chain connected to her sword and shurixen and the spiked disk was sent flying above the monsters head, then with a twist she used her forward momentum and the momentum of the twist to launch the blade in a straight downward arc that was meant to slice both the eye and the cube which this attack should be able to do for it would be able to slice into concrete as it did the air now. These events all happened in a mere instant all to fast for most people to react.
 
"Holy shit! She can make Cruxias!" "We need this bitch!" "Silence. Focus on controlling the body you idiots." "Oh she's a clever girl isn't she?" "DIE!" The voices now came from the Deadbeat as it reacted to Leona's attacks. First, with a talon swipe like a switchblade, it removed the clone's head and crushed the body. It's fist glowed red and the clone was reduced to ashes. Next it's other arm pulled away from the black mass and the orbs pulled away as well. Finally it managed to pull its body back enough to only receive a deep scratch in its crystal. "Wraith." A unimaginably miserable voice that sounded like Cruxia if she swallowed broken glass whispered and a massive red fireball launched out of the Deadbeat's eye at blinding speeds.
 
Taken surprise by the low affect of her attack the knife like claw had scratched the surface of her skin tearing the stomach piece of her shirt. The cut wasn't large enough for serious damage but it was enough to coat the beasts claws and hand in leonas blood. Yet this gave her an idea that would utilize her least used ability. This though, had to wait for a blazing red fireball was heading her way.
There was only one thing to come to her mind but it was also the best thing that she could do.
Leona straightened her left wrist and a vine like tattoo appeared over it, in correlation with it white bandages encircled her minor injury. As the bandages were still wrapping her body her right arm tightened and a black cloud appeared, reforming into crux a moment later. Yet this time her left arm was missing from its sleeve.
"It appears you wont be able to reform that arm till i get more blood, assist me."
Leona placed her non sword wielding hand over cruxes heart point and transferred small bits of energy to her at a time. Then with a blink of cruxes eyes the fireball had disappeared for an instant then reappeared just ahead of them, yet this time it was flying at the monster at the same speed and power that it had been sent. She had just used cruxes teleportation ability to redirect the fireball directly in front of the monster giving them near no time to react to its sudden appearance. Yet at this sudden exertion cruxes body fell to her knees as if she had been stabbed, but her temporary body was simply coming to its limits fully exerted.
" Just a little more, i promise." She voiced the thoughts within the blackness so that only the replica could hear it.
Two more shuriken had appeared in leonas left hand, and with a mighty heave she launched them at the monsters cube, yet once they reached the fireball one branched upward towards the monsters eye.
Along with these two attacks leona had set the stage for multiple more. Cruxes replica shot to her feet, and with a waving of its hand the cane had appeared. It fished the wave by pointing its tip at the chest of the beast. At this moment the shuriken and the fireball would have hit the target and it would be a new basis of attacks.
With the pointing of the cane a black pentagram had appeared for each limb of the monster making a total of four black pentagrams, yet she had also summoned one secretly behind the beast which made 5 in all. Bones had appeared to try and grab at its limbs but in lightning fast movement chainswith engraved inscriptions shot from the center of the star attempting to coil around it, these if landed would hold it stead fast. Yet the one that was meant to serve to be a weapon was the one behind the monster. A hand had open from its depths and reached for the cube attempting to pull it within the star to transport it to where it came from which would kill the beings inside bring their souls to be tortured in the pits of hell. Also from this same pentagram chains attempted to shoot into the back of the eye which was the other weakness the monster had, if it hit it would rip open the eye from the back severely injuring the beast or rather kill it. Once she finished this maneuver the replica was very faint , almost see through . But its task was not over. Turning into a pale black streaming cloud she shot at the beast, reappearing just to its side . Swinging her cane blade left to right, she attempted to slash at the eye.
Leona watched all this in amazement , yet she was still yet to spring activate the most cunning piece to her plan. She had purposely let the beast cut her, so she could use here rarest seen ability. The ability to control spilt blood.
" i call upon thee, blood if the dead and living, and command you to my bidding. To once more serve a living body such as the one you were born from. Feel And taste my presence , leap to its bidding!!!" At the finish of this odd chant a spider web of tattoos formed over leonas body neck down showing that she had used her dark power. Then , with a mere thought through her head she forced the blood into the surface of the monster, leasing it from its hand to its center to where the cube was. The blood tore through the monsters body as if it were made of silk until it reached the cube. Once its presence became known the blood fused into to drill like spikes and sprang at the cube with full force. This attack could even slice into the blade of a sword, so knowing this leona placed her hopes on the fact that by attacking its already formed crevice(the cut from earlier) it would make it easier to break.[BCOLOR=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)][/BCOLOR]
With this series of attacks leona had become exhausted. Her wings arched up and she flew to the nearest light post, using it as a temporary nest to regain lost energy.
 
The amazing set of attacks that you can't bother to make me repeat all of caught the insanely confused monster. It crumpled under the barrage of strikes and shattered like glass, the black pieces liquidating into black ooze and soaking into the ground. However a resounding chorus of laughter exploded from behind the tired Leona. "BWHA HA HA! *gasping for breath*" "Heeheeheeheeheehee!" "How pathetic, she used her special power and everything." "Good grief I'm fucking dying!" "Hu hu hu!" The Deadbeat floated to her back unscathed besides the gash in its crystal. "Greed... Pride..." The voice squeaked out and a barrage of golden embers burst forth from the monster's eye. As it did this black masses erupted from the ground and formed into five clones of Leona. They all welded two black sabers in there hands and two in their hair. Two of the clones stood back as the others attacked Leona. One jumped directly at her with the blades in her hands stabbing at her chest as the blades in her hair swung at her neck. Another leaped high into the air and brought all her blades down in union as the final on just madly spun at Leona like a tornado.
