"Eclipse, this is a terrible time for you to show up," Ellen says angrily at me as she emerges from the rubble that fell on her after my blow that threw her into the building.
"Yes, I had a last-minute change of plans," Isaac is really smart, he thought he could trick me, he probably noticed the Nibelcole and used it to make me think he wouldn't attack yet.
But at the last minute he changed his plans and sent Ellen after Shiori, but there's something Isaac didn't think of, the fact that I know exactly where Shiori would be and if she's being threatened since I left a Nibelcole to take care of that and warn me of unexpected events.
In this case, the unexpected event was never a surprise attack against her, but the fact that something could happen because of Mukuro's Sephira, and it was a bit unpleasant to see Mukuro's "angel" defending Shiori.
As if she was interfering even after her death, and her Angel was modified, the angel's shaft was normal, but the tip that was supposed to be a key was a lance that is her demon king.
"So you came to protect your girlfriend?" Ellen speaks cynically, grabbing her sword and getting into a stance.
"Oh, yes, I came to protect my girlfriend, or rather, I came to take advantage of the opportunity I have now," I advance towards Ellen with a blow from my demon king.
Ellen dodges, but a Nibelcole who warned me of the attack holds Ellen from behind, being quickly cut, but giving me time to hit Ellen with Natanael and throwing her against a building.
'Shiori is running away... but... maybe I can use this.' If Shiori comes back, I can change my plans and make Shiori lose control now, it may be a bit early, but I'll leave it to chance in this case.
"Isaac, change of plans," I hear Ellen murmuring into her communicator and receiving a response that I don't hear, but she grips her sword more tightly, she must have received a satisfactory response.
She advances towards me and I towards her as our weapons collide with each other, the equipment she uses to fly adds a more powerful propulsion as she begins to push me back.
But I tilt the blade of my scythe downward, changing the direction of her weapon and trying to punch her, but she launches missiles at both of us, throwing me against a building that I go through.
'Crazy woman' I see the territory she created defending herself from the damage, she did this super-fast and it might not have even worked, giving her damage, but she still did it.
She advances towards me, firing several missiles that I use Reversion to explode in the air, using the smoke cloud to advance towards her, striking her with a kick and breaking her territory, and moving my scythe towards her.
She defends the blow of the scythe with her sword while using her hand to hold my arm and spin me, making me lose my footing, but I use reversion to throw her in the opposite direction.
'Shiori is coming back' A malicious smile appears on my face as I decide to take advantage of the opportunity, even if it wasn't planned, those who know how to take advantage of unexpected events will come out on top.
"I knew, Ellen, girls in love can be scary," I say, advancing towards her, who does the same, hitting her sword against my scythe as we exert force to push the other.
"And what does that matter?" Ellen says without understanding what I'm trying to say, while I calculate everything that is necessary for Shiori to appear at the right moment.
"It's that, you know what can make them even scarier? If they have a power they can't control, you should have an idea of that, I think," I say, managing to push her and gain an advantage.
She uses her territory to add a lot of weight to me, but I manage to maintain the advantage, I must maintain the advantage for what I'm going to do.
"Don't be a complete stranger, Eclipse," Ellen says, firing a shot of some kind of laser from her suit that I dodge and it cuts the building, causing it to collapse on top of us.
"Stranger? Oh no, I'd say I'm quite normal, but I guess intelligence isn't your strong suit, but that was to be expected when you're just a weak human who depends on weapons and a Realizer to be strong," I say, provoking her.
She doesn't fall for the provocation, but she's clearly irritated as she tries to press me with several sword blows that I defend, maintaining my small margin of advantage.
"Don't boast before the time, Eclipse, or you may end up not liking the result," Ellen speaks coldly, taking distance, firing missiles and disappearing, appearing behind me.
I defend her blow and completely reverse the speed of the missiles, making them plummet to the ground.
"Cheap tricks make you look like a sore loser, you know?" I provoke her again with a smile, maintaining a confident expression as if I were in control of everything.
"What an arrogant speech for someone who has terrible martial arts skills and terrible skills with their own weapon," she speaks with disdain.
"Yes, I have terrible fighting skills and yet I'm tied in direct combat with the strongest of humanity, it seems you're not that great, are you?" I say, which for her is the last straw.
And right at the perfect moment, Shiori, who couldn't run away because of her protagonist-like way of always thinking she needs to get involved in what she wasn't called for, appears.
Ellen advances towards me, but I don't dodge completely and use reversion to slow down the blow while avoiding much real damage.
Her sword pierces my chest, but I'm not too worried, as a spirit I'm quite resilient, especially for my category of spirit that has more physical abilities compared to spirits like Kurumi who have low resistance.
"You... what do you think you're doing?" Ellen speaks while, taking advantage of the distraction, I break the sword so she can't attack anymore, and she jumps back, moving away as I "fall" to the ground with the blade embedded in my chest.
Ellen, who was distracted by this, without expecting this outcome, doesn't realize how screwed she is.

Shiori's POV:
I came running back to help Aurelio against Ellen, I couldn't just run away, after running away I felt that something bad would happen and I felt bad just leaving it to him.
Ellen came after me, so I should help too, I may not be very strong, but two people are better than one, I can try to use that strange angel again.
I hear sounds and see smoke, so I accelerate my pace to get to the location quickly, and as soon as I turn the corner, finding the location with the loudest sounds, I see Aurelio being pierced in the chest by a sword.
"..." I see him cutting the sword that is embedded in his chest, but he still falls to the ground, I see the blood flowing as he seems to have passed out or something similar.
"..." I completely freeze at the terrible sight, scenes flashing through my mind, remembering everything he did for me and remembering that I'm the one to blame for this because he showed up here to save me.
"Uhrgg AAAHHHHHH" I scream in pain, more mental than physical, as a dark energy is released from my body, its density destroying the surrounding buildings as Ellen looks at me.
I hug myself as the tears fall and an immense desire to destroy everything invades me, everything I had in this world is Aurelio, without him here, what value does this world have?
What could this world, which is so dirty and offers me nothing good, have to stop me from just ending it all? Aurelio is the light and sun of my life, he means everything to me.
He is my world, the only person who truly loves me and the person I love the most, and now he is wounded and possibly dead, so if he died, why should I hold back?
I'll destroy everything, this damned world that took him from me, why can't he just live just because he's a spirit? Why are me and him affected by these stupid spirit things even though we don't want to?
"I'LL KILL YOU" I scream angrily at Ellen while stopping hugging myself, looking at her with pure hatred.
A black spear appears in my hand, it seems to be the complete form of the key from before, which only had the tip as a spear.
But now it is a complete spear without the parts of a key, the spear vibrates in purple and black as a spiritual outfit appears on me.
A dress with pastel and opaque tones, it is an elegant dress with various frills that reminds me of a mix between Kurumi's dress frills and Miku's delicate touches, with a chromatic and metallic tone like Tohka's armor.
It has shades of black, gray, and purple frills forming an intriguing design with the mix of colors, the top of the dress is completely black with a purple flower in the middle of the chest covering the neckline.
An interesting point in the dress is its transparency that appears in places where the dress is purple, giving more prominence to the black color, while the purple glows with its transparency, reminding me of the cosmos and its stars.
On my head, I have a flower accessory, a purple and black flower that pulses with spiritual energy, while on the back of my dress I have metallic "wings" in shades of black and gold that resemble that white spirit that fired energy beams that had appeared on the island.
The wings float, not connected to my body, they are 6 wings that resemble something futuristic and that match my outfit.
Along with the dress, on my legs I have 7/8 stockings in shades of black and metallic gray that, although they are fabrics, have an almost metallic appearance, along with high heels that have shades of purple with black forming an intricate detail that resembles keys.
Along with that, I have gloves, black gloves with purple gems inlaid in the fingers and a larger gem on the top of the palm.
And to complete the outfit, a large black angelic halo floats above my head.
My spirit outfit is undeniably beautiful, like a work of art, but it perfectly represents my hatred at the moment.
