Capítulo 160: Abyss Walker Artorias
Reima stores away the vicious looking machete like blade and approaches the Fog-Gate that leads into the Colosseum, he enchants Arcell with the Chaos Blade pyromancy before eating a heavy helping of Green blossoms. Taking a deep breath he steps through and glances around the heavily corrupted area, the tentacle like Abyssal goop appears to have started enveloping the entire Colosseum. His eyes are drawn to the centre of the room where a knight covered in the same Abyssal Phlegm stands, he wears dirty metal armour with a heavily damaged chain mail skirt that apparently used to protect his legs, around his neck and shoulders is a blue cloth-like material that has various thing written on it in white. The knights left arm hangs loosely at his side, bending at disturbing angles while the other wields a heavy looking sword, also coated in the black substance. He seems to have been resting before Reima arrived and starts standing up, black slime dripping from his visor onto the floor and creating a disgusting looking rot patch on the floor.
Artorias stands up to his full 6.2ft height and convulses as if he's having a seizure, he gurgles as if he's trying to scream while drowning. His body snaps backwards in an unnatural position before slowly returning back to his original posture while focusing on Reima's location. The once honourable knight eyes Reima up like he's one of the Abyss corrupted creatures he vowed to destroy, he tightly grips his Great sword and lunges at Reima, leaving a trail of Abyssal goop as he travels. Reima dodges out of the way swiftly, watching his step on the slippery areas of black goop covering the floor as he goes, in response to the attack he slashes the fiery Arcell at Artorias who performs a back-flip to avoid the strike.
The two opponents eye each other, Reima is honestly surprised at the knights speed... He's probably on Ornstein's level or higher, probably being restrained or boosted by his corruption, it's hard to tell as the Abyss seems to have mixed results on people. The two suddenly leap towards each other, Reima deflecting each one of Artorias's heavy strikes with Arcell while trying to counter attack when he gets the chance. If an outsider were watching them it'd seem like a fight from Dragonball Z as their movements are too quick to see accurately, Artorias is fiercely swinging his Great sword with one arm as if it's a toothpick, his weird attack patterns and body breaking flexibility cause Reima to have a hard time predicting what attack is going to come next. The knight backs up before jumping in the air and performing a front-flip while bringing his heavy weapon down upon Reima, said person uses Windfall to pirouette away while slashes Artorias chest, leaving a deep gash in his armour and flesh.
The two once again back away from each other, Reima breathing heavily while Artorias just continues to gurgle as more black goop escapes from his visor, the man stabs his weapon into the floor and looks down at his wound before dragging a hand across it... Blood? No, it's not blood that's seeping through. It's the same black goop that has infested the land around them. He grabs his head after seeing it and gives a terrifying scream, a black mist surrounds him and flows into every orifice of his body, empowering him as well as taking the last of his sanity.
Artorias "Ahhrrrrrrggghhh! N-no! NO!" he gives one final scream as he drops to his knees, Reima watches from the other side of the room, unsure as to what just happened... The knight straightens his back from his slumped over position and grasps the handle of his sword while pulling himself to his feet. As he touches the blade tentacles of black goop attach themselves to it before hardening into an blue tinted obsidian-like material.
Reima prepares to strike down the knight when he suddenly has to dodge, his Observation Haki proving very useful at detecting danger. His make-shift Matrix dodge means he has to move quickly to avoid the sword quickly descending upon him, intent on cutting him in half. He twists and brings Arcell in-front of himself to block the strike but almost coughs blood when he receives it, it's so strong that he almost lets the attack through his guard... Black droplets fall from the blade onto his face, he feels his skin twitch as it tries to dig through and gain access to his internal organs like it had Artorias. Reima forces Artorias off of him momentarily with all his strength before blinking a couple of metres away to safety. It doesn't last long as Artorias slides along the floor like it's ice to stab at him, Reima thinking he needs a distraction throws Arcell at Artorias who easily twists his body to dodge it... That was a mistake as Reima had retrieved his Moonlight Greatsword from his Folded Space and blinked forwards while trying to stab his opponent. Artorias having just dodged Arcell flying through the air isn't able to avoid the strike, the blue blade pierces his chest but Reima continues to run forwards and eventually pierces the wall with Artorias being carried on the blade the entire way. The knight drops his sword as he raises his head to look at Reima, he thinks he can see a small nod from the man before he starts fading away into white mist. Reima receives his horrifically humanity corrupted soul and stores it away before giving a small prayer for the man's next life.
