[Cut.

Another one cut down, as Shiki found himself staving off waves and waves of worker units attacking him on sight as he dodged his way through their shambling attacks, his glasses put in his pocket already as they don't stop coming onto him as lines continued to fill his sight.

Pain.

Ah, looks like one got him in the shoulder, and then his right leg. But it doesn't matter, with these kind of injuries, he can still fight.

He has to kill enough to get out of here, but at this point, this is just getting to be too taxing for him to keep on using his eyes.

Feel free to notice a guy killing off a bunch of worker units around the residential area, guys!]

Comments

[linesofdeath]

Sorry, but I have no time to be standing down today.

[...Looks like one of the boss worker has appeared, huh. Well, that's just swell.]

[culbutiri]

Well you will be making time. [And she gets closer, some sort of liquid seeping through her skin.]

[linesofdeath]

[Surrounded, and then there's this 'newer' worker unit. Really, his situation is just getting worse at this point, but no matter.

Everyone can't really die here, and while that's fatalistic of him to think that way, that's really the only card he has against all these worker units, and his self-destructing power.]

Then we'll just have to see, won't we?

[culbutiri]

There do be no time for waiting. You will be standing down now. [Her blade fingers glinted as she stepped forward. No disobedience was allowed, all must obey the administrators.]

[linesofdeath]

As I said.

[He took a step forward, knife poised in front of him as his eyes glinted.

Pain coursed through his body as the eye almost broke his body again, but he didn't mind.

There's someone in front of him after all.]

[culbutiri]

[She raised her fingers in counter.] Disobedience will be resulting in death. This do be being your final warning to be desisting.

You're welcome to well- kill him.

[linesofdeath]

[That said? He's actually going to just, try to rush past her, since that's the location he needs to be going to right now...!]

[culbutiri]

[And then she moved, turning and jumping at him, blade fingers reaching out grab his arms, stop him from running, stop him from disobeying.

He might want to avoid the liquid that is seeping through her skin, it's deadly.]

[linesofdeath]

[...He can see the lines, good. But the fact that she's just CHARGING at him is sending warning bells as he braked midway, before raising his knife in order to block her attack!]

[culbutiri]

[Knives met knives as her fingers hit the blade. She kicked out at his leg.]

[linesofdeath]

[Only to be met with him raising his leg in order to dodge, only for the kick to connect and causing him moderate pain. Though, this is before he turned his body to break their locks-

There- her hand's wide open! He's going to try and stab at that right now! All the while gritting his teeth through the pain of that inhumane kick.]

[culbutiri]

His knife connects, plunging through her hand. It makes her pause for a moment, pain flooding through her. But it didn't matter, the pain was nothing, all that mattered was getting rid of the trouble maker, and so with her other hand she brought her blade fingers towards his throat.

[linesofdeath]

[He managed to move his head to the side by a bit, causing the blade to graze by and inflicting him even more pain.

But yes, now he's able to see her lines, and just like that, his knife-hand immediately moved, tracing the lines that comprises her hand-

Perhaps you might be feeling the loss of a limb right now, Nesir. As that's the conclusion of having your hand's line of death completely traced by his knife.]

[culbutiri]

Blood welled up where he cut her but then her arm went dead, more pain shot up her arm and she couldn't move her hand at all.

Still it didn't seem to phase her and she continued fighting with her other set of blade fingers.

[linesofdeath]

[...So she's really like a robot, Shiki noticed as he withdrew, pulling out the embedded knife, before using it to block her attack yet again, though this time he's immediately tracing the lines within her fingers, before going on to charge at her with a rapid frenzy of knife slashes that's a bit too quick for normal eyes to follow!]

[culbutiri]

[As each of her fingers stopped working Nesir had to rely on her arms to block, her eyes were still dead as she blocked with skin, more liquid pouring from the cuts.

Shiki would have to be careful not to get any of her 'blood' on him, as it was deadly.]

[linesofdeath]

Grk!

[Unfortunately for him, the blood got onto him as the fabric of his clothes began to sizzle.

This had the unfortunate effect of him moving to cut through her other arm's line of death, though!]

[culbutiri]

[And then her other arm stopped working but she continued to rush at him, trying to use the poison to stop him.]

[linesofdeath]

[...That over and done with, the boy's going to actually raise his hand, and...

Began tracing the lines through all of her bodies, killing off her parts one by one until they're... all... dead...

It was taxing to do all that, but... that's what Shiki Tohno did.]

[culbutiri]

[She didn't stop fighting. She couldn't stop fighting. he was a threat to the administrators, he went against the system. He had to be stopped.

Even as parts of her body failed one by one, she didn't stop. Not until she couldn't move anymore and she fell down, in pain and anger, dying at his feet.]
