Words didn’t matter. The arrival of someone else didn’t matter. The fools that tried to get in her way and were subsequently torn to pieces by her rage
didn’t matter
. The only thing that held her attention was the same thing that had brought her to this state in the first place, and everything else that was going on with him be damned.
Lia wasn’t in a fit state to make rational decisions, and with the continued strain of what she was doing pushing in on her more and more it just exacerbated the negative effects. She knew that she needed to do this quickly, but why had been lost somewhere in the crossed signals of her brain. Her fury dictated every action, but it was growing more and more focused as well. She could barely see anything other than her target, and her reactions when others came between then were purely instinctive by now.
That was why, when Sven chose to pay attention to anything else, it was a rather fatal mistake. As he targeted and screamed at Vykdyti, he got a blade in the center of the back. That was quickly followed by another as Lia used them to climb. The third one went into his neck, and was then ripped through the side of it as Lia brought the other one up and into his shoulder.
At this point, with a rather firm position on someone who was already dying, Lia’s blades began moving in a frenzy, too quick for the eye to see. Head, neck, upper torso; all were the target of her furious assault, and it didn’t take long before only pieces and blood remained.
Almost the second he fell, and Lia rolled off the falling corpse, something in her mind just shut off. The strength that she had possessed vanished as instantaneously as she had brought it into existence, leaving behind not regular strength but much less. Her body was not supposed to be subjected to the stress that she had brought to it.
As soon as it went, she fell, her form limp. Her consciousness was there, but only just, and she could do nothing even if she wanted to.
Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.
