Sovelis was knocked back by the force of the blow, and his breath was knocked out of him.

OoC: I'm assuming you hit me with the FLAT of your sword?

OOC: NOPE!

IC: the man jumps after sovelis, and pushes the tempest back. he makes slash after slash with his Zanbatō( I found the O on wikipedia font.). the huge sword easi ly cutting through the tempests skin.( note the Zanbatō isn't shaped like zabuza's, it is like this:)


The man makes a few handsigns, and sovelis is cast into an illusion, where everyhing he sees looks like himself, and every move he makes causes pain.

Sovelis fell to his knees. the illusion was overwelming him. He tried to force more power into himself, but he couldn't concentrate. " Damn you...." he mumbled as he gasped in pain from speaking.

The illusion was dispelled, but sovelis was quickly cut by the zambato...
heheheh, you are weak!

Sovelis was quick to react. as the sword hit him, his left hand grabbed it and dug into the metal, stoping it an inch from his head. " You are the one who's weak." he said as he shot energy into the zambato.

UGH!!! you brat! the man says as he feel the shock of energy rush through his sword. he is flung back, but quickly recoveres, and makes some handsghns, and sovelis is cast into the same illusion.

"Just to warn you, THE SAME TRICK WON'T WORK TWICE ON ME!" Sovelis yelled as he forced a massize amount of power in every direction, blasting the illusion apart.

the illusiomn is dispelled, much good it'll do, as a sword comes out o nowhere and cuts sovelis, again...

"I'm getting sick of you! IF ITS A SWORD FIGHT YOU WANT, THEN YOU'LL GET IT! TEMPEST BLADE!! HEAR MY VOICE, OBEY YOUR MASTER AND COME FORTH FROM WHINCE YOU ARE!!!" the Tempest yelled as he made a sign with his hand. A bright light formed in front of him and his sword apeared in front of him . It was still the sam sword, but withou the triforce shard in it, it only had it's original power. Sovelius drew his sword and lashed out with it, sending a wave of fire all around him in a huge ring.

The man pulls his sword out of the wall, where it got stuck after he slashed sovelis. He then blockes the fire with his zanbato. He rips off his cloak, and sovelis sees that uner it is a mariad of different swords, long and short, thin and wide. all taken from defeated apponents, all have been used at least once... about twelve of them hand from his belt and chest. sovelis looks aound, and sees that the wall is no wall, it is realy covered by swords, hundreds of them, and just like the ones on the man, They have all been taken from my apponents, and yours will join my collection! The man lunges forward, and swings his zanbato...

"You could never wield this blade you fool!" Sovelis shouted, blocking the zanbato with his armblade and sword. "This sword only responds to those with the powers of a Tempest, not even Kasei can use this sword unless I allowed him to!" Sovelis shouted as he kicked at the man's shin.

"HEH, even so, it will be mine!" the man dodges the blow, and then cuts at sovelis' stoach, cutting it open, a bit...

"YOU ARE CARELESS!"

Focusing his strength, Sovelis drew upon the power of the demon he sealed in his shoulder. "Thats what you think..." He said as the demonic power flooded his veins, forcing his body to regenerate. "Thats why." he saide a he moved with all the speed he could muster to slash at the swordsman at high speed many, many times with his blades.

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHH! the man yells, then falls over, dead...the blows from all of sovelis' stikes killed him. the swords that decorated the wall fell to the ground, each and every one of them free from the curse that binded them to the man... and as his body dissapeared, a note appeared:

Sovelis, good job,
the man you just beat was
named roli, the swift...

once again, good job. defeating
this servant was no small feat,
the shards are yours!
and here, a gift:
- kasei


aqnother triforce shard appeared, now sovelis had one more...

"Okay...either that was way to easy, or a swordsmaster in this world is overrated..." Sovelis said outloud. "Now I have 4 shards...does this mean I'm gonna have to kill the rest of the Servants as well? I hate ending up a hero everywhere I go..." Sovelis sighed as he released his grip on his power, cuting off the flow of demon's fire in his blood.
