He looked at Tymon and stated, "Enjoyed this small victory. I'll resurrect shortly an—"
Avarice's attention was abruptly taken away as his head snapped to the side, looking away from Tymon. The pupils in his golden eyes were dilated as they scanned the horizon frantic with concern. Then Tymon noticed it too. He sensed Junichiro's energy, which had flared incredibly for a moment, fade until it disappeared completely. Tymon wasn't surprised; considering Junichiro was one of the High Gods he'd sensed death clinging to the night he warned Avarice.
He smirked as he looked back down at Avarice's distraught face. For once, Avarice had no glib comeback. He was devastated.
"That's one down," Tymon said, tensing his arm as he tried to rip out Avarice's heart before he could react quickly, but before he could follow through, Avarice erupted in bellowing rage and transformed.
His skin darkened into green, his nails extended into golden claws, and his ears elongated. The transformation itself wasn't anything special, but the power he gave off was immense. The sheer force of the energy released from Avarice was enough to blow the last remaining walls of the lab away, peel the metal flooring back, and cause Tymon to strain against it. In one swift movement, Avarice rose from beneath Tymon and quickly severed Tymon's hand at the wrist before pushing him off.
Tymon clutched the leaking stub that was now his hand as he witnessed Avarice do something he'd never seen before. He clogged the hole in his chest with his spirit energy along with Tymon's hand still in it, then took to the sky and rushed in the direction they'd sensed Junichiro's energy.
"Damien..." Tymon's eyes went wide. He mimicked Avarice by clogging his bleeding stub with his energy to keep himself from bleeding out. It wasn't difficult, but he could tell this was only a temporary fix. The moment he ran out of energy, he'd start bleeding out again. But for now...
Damien, he reached out telepathically. You need to move. Now. Avarice is heading toward you, and I'm not fast enough to intercept him.
There was no response.
Damien!
Finally, he was received with a mentally exhausted chuckle.
Is that so? Damien responded. That is most unfortunate; however, I am far too depleted to escape.
Tymon could tell that Damien must have been in really bad shape. Even his thoughts lacked the quick-witted tone Damien usually carried.
"Dammit," Tymon muttered in frustration. He leaped into the cloud-covered sky and raced after Avarice, hoping to think of something along the way.
--------------------------------------------------------
Fun fact: Avarice has spent most of his life obtaining everything he wants: money, power, respect, sometimes even fear. He's developed a family who loves and obeys him and has received several prestigious titles among man. But what he desires most is knowledge. This is why he possesses...sorry, possessed (before his lab and bases were destroyed) rare elements that could be found around the world. Due to his greed for knowledge and the insurmountable volume of it even beyond Earth, I doubt he'll ever be able to satiate himself. So he will always strive to learn more about the universe so long as he lives.
