Sephiroth World Traveler

Taking his last statement as the go ahead for the fight Tiamat unleashes a massive purple flame breath toward him for 15 seconds and she only stops thinking that she either outright killed him or at the very least severely injured him.

She was shocked when the smoke cleared when the kid she thought was either dead or injured was just standing there in the same stance except there was a slight shimmer in front of his body almost like glass before it disappeared.

When Tiamat unleashed her purple flame attack at him Sephiroth decided to test the power of his [Reflect] spell, thus when the first of her flame attack got near him he redirected it back toward the rest of the attack thus it cancelled each other out.

"You're going to have to try harder than that to get through my defenses" Sephiroth said in a taunting tone toward Tiamat, hoping to anger her to make mistakes during the fight.

"Tsk kid that wasn't even my best attack just a warm up, try blocking this" Responded Tiamat wondering how this kid blocked her attack, and what that shimmer was in front of him before it disappeared.

Tiamat ignited her tail with her purple flame and sent it toward Sephiroth in a horizontal swipe mixing both a physical attack with her powerful karma flames hoping to end this battle in one hit.

Upon seeing what Tiamat is doing and sending her massive tail toward him, Sephiroth cast a [Slow] spell upon Tiamat effectively slowing her whole body down including her tail she sent at him. Tiamat was surprised internally that whatever spell that Sephiroth used was able to affect her knowing that her race was extremely resistant to all forms of magic.

When Sephiroth saw that his spell worked, put his sword in front of himself bracing himself to block this massive flaming tail attack.

When it made contact with Sephiroth's sword Zetsubo he was pushed back several feet sliding back due to the force of the attack. When Tiamat saw her tail after the attack she was surprised that she had a cut on her tail where he blocked her attack at. It was a deep cut but the fact that his sword was able to cut her scales at all proved how sharp his sword was and durable as well seeing as how it didn't shatter upon impact.

"I see, even without pulling any force into my attack. Zetsubo is extremely sharp and durable on its own. Lilith really made my sword one of a kind didn't she." thought Sephiroth seeing what just happened to Tiamat's tail.

"I'm going to have to be careful of that sword if he is able to actually cut me without even putting any power into his blocks" thought Tiamat more scared of the sword than of Sephiroth himself thinking that is why he is so confident in winning against her.

Deciding to take this to the next level, Tiamat roars loudly thus breaking the spell that Sephiroth cast on her and getting rid of [Slow] on herself. Charging her arms with her karmic flames sends her left hand in an open claw attack toward Sephiroth.

Seeing what Tiamat coming at him with flaming claws decided to take it to the next level as well and channel his magical power into his sword to block her attacks.

When she got close to Sephiroth, he seemed to disappear for a moment right when her attack was about to hit him. One moment he was on the ground the next he was on her arm running toward her head at an incredible speed thus dodging her first swipe. Using her other flaming claw she tries to crush him on her arm and right before she is going to succeed the same thing happens, he disappears and is now on her shoulder next to her head.

Before she can further process what just happened and how she kept missing him, Sephiroth struck her head with his Zetsubo launching her body away from him and leaving a deep cut on the cheek of her face while Sephiroth just hovers there with his wing out that he unleashed at some point.

"I don't know how you keep dodging my attacks, but try and dodge this" Shouted Tiamat pissed that she got a cut on her face and that she keeps missing him. She then unleashed massive karmic flames out in a giant explosion around her to make sure to make it big enough to where Sephiroth couldn't dodge it this time.

When the light finally died down from her last attack we can see Sephiroth still hovering there but with a red transparent shell like glow around him encasing him in a sphere. When he saw her attack coming toward him, Sephiroth knew he might not be able to get out of the blast zone in time and used [Shell] to reduce the magical attack toward him. His spell was able to withstand it but it had visible cracks on it, a little more power and she would have been able to hit him with her attack.

Shocked, that didn't even work made Tiamat worried because it seems that her karmic flames were not strong enough to get through his defense on their own and will need to be combined with her physical attacks to prove effective.

Before Tiamat could move, Sephiroth cast his spell [Elemental Flare] sending four giant orbs of fire, lightning, wind, and darkness toward Tiamat making her the meeting point of all four orbs of magic. A giant explosion occurs because of his spell, when the explosion settled down we can see Tiamat had several scorch marks on her body.

Not giving her a chance to recover, Sephiroth flies toward her at extremely fast speed casting a [Haste] spell on himself to make him get there even faster. Gets right in front of her c.h.e.s.t area and uses [Sudden Cruelty] with Zetsubo which were two sword swings that dealt multiple hits.

Tiamat quickly raised her arms to try and shield herself from Sephiroth's sword as best that she could but still took some damage from his attack. She had several cuts all over her forearms making her start to bleed a decent amount from the number of cuts that she just got.

While she blocked his attack with her arms, she sent another flaming tail attack toward him. Sephiroth didn't have time to react after his attack to block the flaming tail coming at him and took it smashing him into the ground causing a crater because of the force of the attack.

"*Huff* *Huff* *Huff* finally got him that sound end it now" muttered Tiamat to herself, she noticed that he didn't see the attack coming meaning that he didn't have a defense in place for it and took the complete force of her attack.

"Damn, why didn't I see that coming?" mutters Sephiroth to himself while in the bottom of the crater that he created when he hit the ground from Tiamat's flaming tail attack. He now has some slight burns on his c.h.e.s.t where he was hit and his shirt has a big tear in the center of it now.

"No more playing around" Sephiroth said then unleashed his touki sending a massive column of his life force into the air, from a distance it would look like a giant light pillar going into the sky. This alerted Tiamat thinking that she had won the fight with her attack and made her put her guard up again and flew back some to put some distance between them.

When the light pillar faded away, all she could hear were the light footsteps that were calm and steady coming toward her from the carter. When she saw Sephiroth he had a white outline surrounding his body and she could see the damage that she had done to him but the thing was that she could also see him healing at a visible speed making it look like he hasn't been hurt at all. If it wasn't for his torn shirt he was wearing you wouldn't even know that he was previously injured.

When he stopped in front of her after walking to her he spoke "I hope that isn't everything that you have to show me dragon king Tiamat" getting into a Iai stance putting Zetsubo on his waist getting ready to pull it like it was in a sheath waiting for her to make a move.

"Damn brat" said Tiamat, deciding to go full power now that it has come to this. Engulfing her whole body in her karmic flames starts charging toward him, planning on crushing his whole body under her full weight.

As she gets closer to Sephiroth he unleashed the built up energy he put into Zetsubo using the sword move he called [Fervent Blow] which sends sword energy projectiles from his sword and then follows up with it with a dashing lunge launching the target upwards. Tiamat wasn't ready for this attack and was sent into the air even though she coated herself with her karmic flames making her more resistant to all attacks.

When Tiamat reached was flying into the air, Sephiroth used [Haste] again to fly up and overtake her in the air so that he was positioned above her.

Still trying to recover from being launched into the air with Sephiroth's last attack she was able to block his next attack either.

Sephiroth used [Godspeed] a mid-air variant of Fervent Blow, modified such that Sephiroth sends the target downwards with an overhead strike. Now Tiamat was sent back down to the ground now at a much faster speed because of the combination of his attack and gravity.

Tiamat hit the ground hard much like Sephiroth did earlier and created a crater but this one much bigger because the force used and her size and weight as well. Groaning in the crater because of the impact she didn't see Sephiroth flying down to her till it was too late. Attempting to stop him with a quick flame breath attack.

He just ignored it because the touki surrounding him made the attack useless and using his Zetsubo stabbed deep into her wrist on her left arm going all the way through it to the ground effectively pinning her down to the ground with her arm. He didn't stop there and cast multiply [Ice Javelins] spells surrounding her completely outside the crater.

"Yield or lose a hand" Sephiroth said in a cold voice showing that he wasn't scared to follow through with his threat if she didn't give up.

Groaning because of the pain she just went through and the fact that Sephiroth's sword is clearly going through her left wrist meaning his threat was valid. She looked around seeing if she could turn this around but when she noticed the amount of ice javelins outside the crater that she was in didn't know if her beaten up body could resist them all not to mention the fact that Sephiroth wouldn't just stand still while she took care of them all.

"I give up kid, now release me" Hearing that she gave up, Sephiroth deactivated his touki and [Ice Javelin] spell, not forgetting to remove his sword from her left wrist. He swings his sword to get the remaining blood off of it before he sends it back and jumps out of the crater waiting for Tiamat to come out.

Breathing a sigh of relief that he canceled his spell and removed his sword from inside her, she took a look at her body and couldn't help but laminate on how f.u.c.k.e.d up her body is right now. She has tons of cuts and scratches and burn marks on her body, it feels like she doesn't have a single spot on her body that isn't damaged to some degree.

Instead of jumping out of the crater right away she uses her magic to transform herself into her human form to help accelerate her healing. She has the appearance of a beautiful woman with straight and long beautiful pale blue hair, dark blue eyes, and a cold atmosphere that radiates from her beauty. She possesses an extremely powerful dragon aura within her body. She also wears a navy blue skirt, and her entire body is doused with the color of deep blue.

When she jumps out of the crater in front of Sephiroth, he was surprised because he didn't know that dragon's could transform into a human form. He couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful Tiamat looked in her human form. Anyone other than him might lose their mind because of how she looks and give into their l.u.s.t.

"Tiamat I won our bet, so I'm going to get straight to the point. What is the strongest thing in this forest?" Sephiroth asked, wanting to get what he came for.

Looking at him like he was an idiot "Brat are you trying to be funny or something….. Of course that is me" Tiamat says pointing at herself.

"I'm the guardian of the familiar forest so of course I'm the strongest as well" She said in a tone like she was talking to an idiot.

Process what he had just learned "Then I want you to be my familiar Tiamat" She was shocked that he would honestly ask her a dragon king to be a familiar to someone even if he is stronger than her.

"Why should I become your familiar Sephiroth Crescent" questioned Tiamat curious as to what reason he is going to give her to convince her to join him.

"Life doesn't last forever Tiamat, don't you want to see it all. That's why we have to help each other and live life to the fullest. Even if you or I have to say goodbye someday, we will always be in each other's hearts till we both cease to exist. A promise to see everything together as partners, so I ask you again. Tiamat will you join me on this journey?" Sephiroth said to her, stunning her by his speech and that he would make a promise like that to her.

Thinking about it for a moment she came to a decision "Yes I will join you brat, could be fun to say the least" Thus Sephiroth got the strongest familiar the forest had to offer the strongest dragon king Tiamat.
