Chapter 1025 The Fifth Person
(Eris POV)
My fire blade clashed with Denna's fire blade, both of us swinging our swords with deadly precision and dodging the other's blows in a dance of death.
Bait and Laverna chose to clash with each other instead, the latter fending off the other's wild swings with a calm look on her face.
"Aye always hated ya' stupidly emotionless face, ya' know that?!"
"Always… Noisy… Loud… Annoying…" Laverna deadpanned while parrying the swings from the other me.
My attention was taken away when I had to block an overhead slash from Denna, the demure version of me not holding back her blows at all.
"So… Did you actually also secretly despise me as well?" I asked, straining to push back against her sword.
"No. This one merely thinks my humble self is more suited to stay by Master's side. You are unhinged, Bait is too noisy and Laverna is too passive. Only this one is suitable to serve Master amongst the four of us."
"Huh, I never thought you were the arrogant one."
"This one is merely stating facts."
I sidestepped her thrust and flicked my wrist to try and slice her neck, only to hit nothing as she had already expected such an attack and ducked her head to avoid it.
Raising my arm to my chest, I held it there just in time to block the elbow strike she threw at me before she even moved, something I already knew she would already do.
Her sword came slashing back at me from behind and it was my turn to spin out of the way to avoid her attack, taking the chance to fire off a quick fire blade at Denna as I did so.
She barely batted an eye at the attack as she sliced it apart with her own flame sword before chasing after me with a sword thrust.
Flicking my wrist once again, I deflected the sword thrust away with the flat of my blade before trying to kick her feet out from under her.
Denna knew that attack was coming since she was already in the midst of sidestepping me even before I moved.
I was about to do a follow up slash when I felt the wind coming from behind me and ducked, just in time to have the air blade shot out from Bait miss me by mere inches.
Turning back, I raised my sword to block Laverna's sword from cleaving me in two, the passive version of me pressing down with all her might.
"What now? The two of you decided to make love instead of war?" I asked.
"Temporary truce…" She muttered before pulling back to allow Bait to stab at me.
I cursed under my breath as I leapt back to avoid her.
If it's one on one, I can still handle it and turn the fight into a stalemate at least, but if the three of them were to gang up on me, then I definitely stood no chance.
"Isn't the process of this fight skewered? Shouldn't you three fight amongst yourselves and the winner fight me instead?" I asked, moving to a place where I can see all three of them.
"Nah, we think it makes much more sense ta' kill ya' first. You're da' biggest threat amongst all of us!" Bait smirked.
"To hear my other personality say that, I don't know if I should be flattered?" I giggled.
Laverna narrowed her eyes at me, "Master named… You…"
I grinned, "Oh? Is that what the fifth personality has been using to get you to kill me?"
All of us looked up, seeing another me floating up in the sky and looking down at us.
"OH? i WOULD aSK WHAT GAVE mE AWAY? I WAS SUre I KEPT MYSELF HIDDEN aWAY PERFECTlY."
"Haaaa? It's not like it's ya' first time taking over our body, why are ya' acting so surprised? You think jus' because you talk a little softly we wouldn't recognise ya'?!" Bait grumbled.
"Ho? I SUPPOSE THAT IS TrUE, IT'S BEEN a LONG TImE SiNCE I LAST CAME OUT AFTER ALL."
Laverna narrowed her eyes at her, "Set up…?"
"OH, IT'S MOST DeFENITELY NOT SOME SET UP BY ME I ASSURE YOU. EveN I WAS rATHER SURPRISED By THIS TURN oF EVEnTS YOU SeE. THE ORIGIN LIQUId HAD CERTAIiNLY GIVeN Us THIS SPACE TO ACCELERATE OUR ASCENSION."
"So this one assumes that the real objective is to kill you and not each other?" Denna asked while coating her blade with fire Quarks.
"iS THAT WHAT YOU THInK? It IS STILL A FACT ThAT YOUR MIND IS STILL FRAGMeNTeD WITH THE FOUR OF YOU AROUnd, HOW WOULD YOU DEAL WITH THAT EVEN WITHOUT ME?"
"Deal with… Later…" Laverna whispered, coating her own sword with lightning quarks.
Yeah, there had always been more than four of us in this body. This bitch is the unnamed one who comes out when she gets really pissed off.
She also just so happens to be the only one amongst us who was unwilling to share Master amongst all of us, so she had been hiding herself in order to find the best chance to get rid of us all this while.
The reason she speaks like that is because she's basically a mash of all four of us combined together, that's why it's not incorrect to say that she's my inner voice as well.
I took the chance to turn to the other three, "Seriously though, were you three really trying to kill me back then? I sensed a lot of killing intent! I thought we were just warming up to fight the real enemy?!"
Bait shrugged, "Hey, if ya' that weak, then you shoulda' jus' died then. That woulda' saved us da' trouble of sharing Master with one more person!"
"This one also thinks it would be better with one less person. That way this one doesn't need to wait as long to make love with Master."
"Agreed…"
These damn bitches… Did they all forget that Master was the one who created me?
Whatever, you girls are just jealous that Master embraces me first before all of you! I swear, once I get out of here, I'm going to go straight to Master and have Him make love to me the entire night without any of you! Then I'll tell Him that you have been bullying me, see what He does ten!
But first things first, we have to get rid of this parasite bitch that has overstayed her welcome in our body!
