Umbra of Chaos:
Uria

Within the earth, small hands cupped a miniature star. While it took longer the sheer energy at play allowed them to fashion a more flexible attack. Something to overcome his lightning and reach to gain an advantage.

The star became a sword. Then a spear. Then a mighty halberd. But even that was not enough. Mere weapons would not manage the force Uria wished for, they did not have the speed to outmatch someone who had tamed lightning. So they simply needed to make something better than that. The bolt of light that blasted through the depths with outrageous speed and strange fluidity. When it burst to meet him it shot through the air without a pattern. It did not slow down to swerve, did not reduce its speed to suddenly move backwards, and it did not remain as one.

It split into multitudes. Against ferocious defenses and destructive thunder it would split apart, maintaining its impossible movements only to come together for a single focused blow. A blast concentrated all at once to a single point, the bolt coming together to burn a hole through his eye and explode inside his skull.

YOLF:
Lubei

The demon had no illusions that was enough. He didn't desire to produce a corpse, but until he saw him prone or entombed, the foe was still waiting, hidden in Lubei's own domain. But he had an instant to breathe, for his indiscernibly mutilated arm to start recovering. An instant was all he needed to see the attack from Uria spring from nowhere and assert that the divine child wasn't in the line of fire.

In a timeless instant, he reached within his soul for a memory, and the strength built around it. A yawning gate beyond the yoke of life to a pit where nothing would ever move again.

Not even the king of ice could repress a shiver from this cold, and he exhaled a fine mist as he swung his hand. Frozen spires more solid than stone emerged from the left and right, racing between him and Vanguard. They formed a corridor of white and blue which shut itself around them and at the top, the pillars interlocking like closed mandibles.

This foolishness had to stop.

Kotomine_Rin:
Vanguard

The spear of light erupted from the hole and bounced all around like a star. His eyes followed accross the battlefield, his stance resulute as the lightning cloaking him. Left, right, up, down, left, right, up, down, left-

The arrow launched forth, the knight shot into motion. It wasn't enough. Blood, metal and bone matter burst out of his head, clearly visible to everyone.

And then the  spikes surged like a torrent, surrounding his bloodied body like the maw of a beast. A prison for him... a cold dead land to bury him. Half of his body glared, his other half completely covered by blood. But as the ice dust took a shine like diamond, his head was visible. The nightmare was visible.

Uria's attack was an undodgeable bullet. It couldn't be deflected, it couldn't be avoided. Someone like him could never avoid this fate.

His eye was pierced. The wolf now mimicked the one eyed crow. It was only his natural sturdiness that saved him. Because he did not stop. And not even the ice that stopped the devil could halt his swing.

Every frozen struxcture was broken down and turned to dust by a lightning impact so terrible, it shook the earth and heavens whole. It was enough to obliterate the ground as well, like a tree of lightning uprooting the Earth. The damage was so deep, it was like an entire spyscraper had dug out the area. Every piece of ice, rubble and thunder shot forward like a torrent. It could very well hurt Lubei even at his distance, and the thunder would seek the child without respite until it reached the peak of the tree.

This was his inescapable attack. And his last.

Umbra of Chaos:
Uria

Devastation. That was the only thing that could describe the effects of the warrior's strike. This was not a battle that could be played out on this small bit of scenery, and he had demonstrated it by annihilating the entire area. The earth had been gouged out by the fist of a wrathful god, trees had shattered into splinters, the very air heaved with an explosive force that levelled anything which remained. It would be a miracle if anything of the demigod was left... and yet they were a child of miracles.

So it was to no surprise that a pile of rubble trembled and a body fell out. Uria's body writhed with darkness and light. Their neck and chest began to sprout from their head like a growing plant. Writhing, insect-like things poured out of their mouthed and attached together into an arm. With disturbing quickness they arose again, but their imperfections were clear.

Their pale skin was cracked where it had grown out. Occasionally their arm twitched and shifted as if the creatures had not fully melded together. It was nothing fatal, but they were lessened.

"Woah, you really mean serious business! I don't think we can win like this..." They reached down and grabbed at something, fingers pushing apart the earth as they yanked up a root from the earth. Then tendrils of shadow and radiance plugged into it, as if completing a circuit. And Uria's awareness expanded. Suddenly they were not just here, standing within this crater, but scattered across the entirety of the woods. The light that permeated each of the beasts, the energy flowing to the sky above, the prideful light within the very land... And there was another. Distant, unconnected, but not unknown to them. Almost like a sister tree, grown in the mold of the one they were integrated with but not built from it. So Uria waved. They waved to the animals, and the thing in the sky, and the meanie in the trees, and the other tree!

Hello world.

But their thoughts turned towards that second to last one! To it and their enemy. So they poked it, prodded it, pinged it with countless notifications! Because it had been abandoned, it had no purpose, except there was a perfect body for it right here. Because if it didn't then He would.

YOLF:
Lubei

There was no opportunity to close the distance at all. Lubei's makeshift prison shattered into a million pieces around them, with the very earth splitting apart with the pulverizing fury of lightning one inch behind. He grit his teeth during that interval between cacophonies and jumped. The footing was blown away the same instant, and the thick screen of black ice that appeared between him and the epicenter cracked.

The relentless force threw him high into the air, rattling his bones. It felt like his insides had been rocked as one, even if he didn't receive it directly, and up and down became indistinct. Lubei's eyes darted hastily, searching for either Uria or Vanguard through the haze of power ringing in his ears.

"THIS IS FOOLISHNESS, STOP!" The demon could only catch their outlines, but he yelled anyway, unaware of his own desperation.
