RWBY: Path Of Blood 5 Chapter 5 : Loose Ends Part 1

There's still 5 days before the semester starts so Haruki was killing Grimm for practice. In the 5 years Haruki has used Skoll and Hati it has evolved into a more powerful version Fenrir Fangs. A DemiG.o.d Tier Weapon, Able to summon shadow wolves to hold down an enemy. The claws itself was very poisonous. able to kill an Alpha Ursa With just a single slash.

Haruki then proceeded to absorb the blood essence of the grimm...

(New Tier unlockable unlock now?)

he heard once more the sound he has been hearing the past 2 years...

Devour was the 2nd tier of the Ars Magus it is capable of eating anything, be it skill or magic , after devouring it could replicate it with 75% accuracy. While using Devour it could corrupt the users original form turning it into something unrecognizable if used poorly. The good thing is though once he has aquired enough strength he could then remove the 3 seals on the 3 Modes of Tier 2 by using devour.

Those were

>

Berserk state with rapid regeneration.

>

G.o.d Level Sword Intent.

The aura that hunters use to block damage.

he hasn't attempted to unlock it because he wasn't ready, but now After increasing his win rate against Adam and Tyrian he was prepared to devour their skills. To attain perfect copy of Adams swordplay he first dueled him for the last 5 years, and now he could devour his skills to gain the 75% he was lacking. So he Could combine it with Absolute weapon mastery... and incorporate his own sword style... the only thing missing is tyrians skill of unpredictability... that's why before he goes to beacon he must first feast on their skills.

Haruki walked towards Tyrian and tells him "Since I'm going to beacon why don't we spar for a little bit. Consider it a prelude before I burn the world." Tyrian laughed "hahahahaha we finally see eye to eye Haruki! That's my herald of destruction!" They proceeded towards the arena above the Grimm pool of darkness.

'Unlock Tier 2' Haruki ordered the Ars Magus

(affirmative, would you like to start the tutorial? )

'yes' Time slowed down, before tyrian could attack. (Devour only works when the opponent is gravely wounded or Exhausted. or else they would be able to dodge. )

( you're able to use devour if you manage to stop enemies on their track. although you have to devour twice... for you can only get half if they're not tired. As long as their Aura is not depleted or in the red, devour might have a small chance to corrupt your body and soul if you use it.)

(As a freebie for unlocking Tier 2 all side effects will be disabled on your first prey.)

'Devour' a giant gaping maw appeared beneath Tyrians feet eating and replicating his skills and battle style.

(35% of the skill gained, Tutorial complete)

Time slowly resumed around Haruki.

Tyrian Felt groggy but that's about it... he did not notice his skills were copied. "Haruuuuu, Time to Plaaaaaaaaayyyy!!!! Hahahahaha" Tyrian madly zipped around the arena trying to chip away at Haruki using his blades. Haruki covered himself in a thin layer of lightning appearing to be weak but it is compressed to the point that it could easily kill an alpha beowolf with just a touch.

Haruki summoned Skoll and Hati, He downgraded it to not cause suspicion. he froze the arena grounds and summoned blades on his shoe as he zipped around the arena. Like a lesser version of Tyrians crazy slashes. seeing this Tyrian can't help but feel happy "hahahahaha imitation is the greatest form of Flattery." As he blocks harukis attacks he's only honing the style haruki stole. Haruki activated his lightning form for a second. to appear behind Tyrian, He used Skoll to cause internal bleeding to Tyrian. He didn't want to use exploding star... yet. Tyrian flew outside the arena. Standing up he applauded Harukis performance. "Bravo!! Magnifique!!! You are truly the one who would be her Majesty's Blade!!!, but know this haruki Betray my queen in anyway and I might go all out." he revealed a dense killing intent directed to to haruki, which haruki returned in kind. Hehehehehe hahahaha !!!! Tyrian laughed madly as he leapt back up in the arena. " Time for Round 2!! " Tyrian charges towards Haruki he spins madly in the air shooting his guns randomly and the brings out his scorpion tail Stabbing wildly at Haruki. Hehehehe , This is truly funnn!!!! Haruki frantically blocks all of Tyrians attacks, creating wounds all over his body. Tyrian charges his most powerful attack he leaps up and spins in the air like a drill towards haruki. Tyrian expecting for haruki to be Blown away... at that moment [Reflecting Moon] half of the damage was reflected towards tyrian. and then Haruki countered with [Exploding Star] *bamm* Tyrian was flung away but before he landed Haruki casted Devour.

(35% of the skill gained.)

*cough cough* Hehehehehe hahahahaha , Now this is what I call a fight!! Tyrian stood back up again preparing to charge at haruki one more time. "Enough! Don't you boys have something better to do than kill each other?" Tyrian spits out the blood and says "Oh please! If I wanted to kill him, he'd be dead already." *scoff Really now... Cinder then says "whatever just don't mess up the plan." But tyrian's already gone from her sight.

"Crazy f.u.c.k..." Haruki says as he covers up his wounds. Cinder then caresses his face. "now now... You're the one who challenged him.." haruki then glares at her and says "your new hobby?" Cinder then ignited her hands "Watch your words boy! or I'll end you!" Haruki just smirks and activated lightning form as he summoned Fenrir Fangs and he appeared behind Cinder pointing his claws on her throat. "How bout you watch your mouth or I'll tear you apart and feed you to my wolves" Haruki says as he summoned the jet black wolves. "i- it can't be! ,you have two semblances!" Haruki then covers Cinders mouth with his fingers. "shh, If you want to live then shut the f.u.c.k up..." Haruki then summons Absolute Demise an overlord cla.s.s weapon and the upgraded version of the Life Reaping katana. He slowly takes Cinders pale white hands then slashes her hand with it. Then he does the same to his hand , "now we're bound on a contract... I'm your master now... not that freak Salem. " he kisses cinders cheeks, Cinder limped on the ground for she can't move from the dense killing intent Haruki directed towards her. "If you serve me well I might reward you with power."

Cinder twitched at the mention of power. She looked up at Haruki only to see a different man not the one she knew... "What are you? how can you have such dense killing intent? and how can you be so powerf-" haruki gripped absolute demise essentially muting

her." You see I can't let you blabbering your mouth and you kinda have been following me and Neo for awhile which is kinda annoying...

you see absolute demise can control the body of the target just one slash and if the target is weaker...they would be controlled but if they are stronger... it only immobilzes the target for a little bit. Leading into their demise.

Now Cinder darling, I know your loyalty is only to yourself... But how does it feel to be kicked off your pedestal sucks doesn't it? "

Cinder was shaken down to her core angered to the point of heating up the entire arena... She glares at Haruki but knowing she can't fight back frustrated her that there's blood coming out of her closed fist... She stands up and walks away...unknown to anyone what might she be feeling right now. "Oh and Cinder darling I expect great things from you."

Now that Cinder is under his control Emerald and Mercury would be easy to manipulate. The only one left is Adam Taurus...
