He was inspired to create a spear based on Irish mythology that allowed him to pierce his target's heart no matter where they are or how much protection they had on them. It was always a great way of killing his targets unaware.
Oh, the irony of having his own creation against him
...
Regeis quickly sent out a mental command to cancel his creation, only to find himself stumped at the lack of reaction from the spear. It actually ignored an order to disperse, and that human was about to use it on him! But surely he could not use it!
"Gae..." Regeis's heart stopped the moment the human said that; the spear that was once silent was now roaring with its desire to take the life of its previous owner, like it had found a new owner worthy of its desire to kill and would gladly end him.
"BOLG!" And with that, the human hurled the spear hard, and the spear seemed to turn into a red flash and rushed straight for his heart. Regeis attempted to use the same spear to attack the human before it got to him, but the rogue spear smashed its counterpart to bits and basically bored itself into Regeis's body and through his heart.
"GARGH!" Regeis spat out blood as he grabbed the spear and tried to free himself from it, when he saw the human raising his hand.
"Break." The human softly voiced out while snapping his fingers
"BOOM!"
The red spear glowed brightly before exploding and taking out a portion of his torso and his his lungs. Regeis staggered a little as he tried to maintain consciousness, his vision going dark quickly. The last thing he saw was the human standing with the illusion right behind him, and the last thought he has was how he got beaten by one more bloodthirsty than him.
'Ah, that sucks a lot.'
...
"Ha~ Ha~ Ha~ Ha~" I panted hard as I looked at the body of the devil crashed to the ground and the last glimmers of life vanished from his eyes. After waiting for a few seconds to ensure that he was truly dead, I released the tension that was keeping me up and let my legs buckle under me so that I could lie on the ground and rest my aching body, while keeping the blood flow at a minimum for Avalon to remove the poison.
Again there was that weird feeling inside me, but this time it got accompanied by another emotion I did not understand. I felt extremely 'savage' for the lack of description, like I actually wanted to tear out his heart or something. Even the feeling of grabbing that spear was unusual; it felt so much like the red spear that Lancer used that I actually blanked out for a moment and just adopted the same style of fighting as the Servant to take the devil out.
A light metallic clicking brought my tired eyes to the pocket where the Kaleidou-Amulet was peeking out, the jewels glowing brightly but slowly diminishing. Again that weird reaction from it, it seemed to be reacting to something but before I could pinpoint the cause it kept going out like a candle. What the hell was going on?
Maybe it was just the adrenaline and my frustration talking.
I grunted loudly as I failed to get up from the ground. Avalon was finally gaining some momentum in clearing the poison, but my body was still feeling like I got Caster's poison inside me. I took a deep breath and recite a light incantation while releasing my projections to turn them back into Prana. For a while they lingered in the air, then they started to move towards me like a gentle cloud of golden dust. Slowly and surely, they gathered above me and then flowed inside me.
Honestly, that spell that I found by accident at the old libraries of the Association was a godsend for me. Since I could not generate as much Prana as many of the others, I used this spell to gather the Prana in the air and used it as my own. This quickly became a good way of getting back some of my old Prana from my fights, and considering how rich this world was, it was ideal for Avalon to use that Prana and go about fixing my body.
After a minute of lying on back, I let out a sigh of fatigue and forced myself into a seating position. At least the poison was now mostly cleared; there was still a little inside me but not enough to have me in danger. I took a deep breath and took the time to look around me.
Oh boy there was a lot of damage control to be done.
"Ba~ Bump!"
"GRK!" I clenched my teeth as that odd feeling started up again, only this time it was making my chest ache uncontrollably and it was preventing me from concentrating and healing myself.
"Ba~ Bump! Ba Bump!"
Okay now this was getting ridiculous, the feeling resonating inside me was starting to become very painful. What's more, the spears around me were starting to glow in pulses while letting an odd ringing tone. Seriously, what was going on?
Wait a minute, the last time this sort of thing happened, it was with Kiba's blades. And didn't they lunge at me just to follow me?
"SHRIK!"
"CINK!"
"SHII!"
One by one, the spears dislodged themselves from their original positions and hovered in the air, their tips pointing ominously at me while glowing a bright red. I forced myself up and prepared my mental trigger again. This was going to be a very tight situation, I may not have used up my Prana that much, but whatever that guy did to me with that spear seemed to be wreaking havoc on my body. Even if Avalon was inside me, it would need some time in order to remove whatever was inside me, and as I am, I was having a hard time concentrating on defense.
"Splat! SHREK!"
Despite the danger before me, I twisted my head quickly to find the source, only to think to myself that I wished I did not see this before me.
The dead corpse belonging to the devil started to display violent spasms, with his limbs violently hitting the ground while the mouth was spilling a large amount of blood. The spasms started getting more erratic to the point that his remaining arm that was loosely connected to his torso ended up breaking off and flew a bit away, and one of his eyeballs actually popped out of its socket and rolled on the floor.
But that was not the worst part.
"SCREEK! CROCK!"
Like some twisted reenactment of a James Cameron film, the chest portion started to let out some weird sounds and more blood started to gush out of the wounds I gave him. I projected a random sword in my hand and readied my stance. Was this a last-ditch attempt to take down an opponent if he ever got defeated? Don't tell me that there was some creature inside him designed to come out on his death?!
If I recalled the internet lingo, I do not want to have a 'Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong' if the latter was true.
A splitting sound broke my thoughts and I directed my eyes at a glowing piece of steel poking out of his chest. Another jerk of his body and two smaller appeared alongside the first one, nearly splitting the torso in half. And then...
"SPILY~ BOOOM!"
"Whoa!" I raised the sword to block the pieces of flesh that flew from the corpse that suddenly blew apart violently. It continued for a few more seconds until the mini rain of blood had stopped and I could risk lowering the sword a little to take in the sight before me.
Truly, the corpse that was lying split open truly resembled something from a James Cameron film with a dose of a slasher flick; the entire torso portion looked like something crudely cut open by someone who had the remote idea of using a badly maintained chainsaw. The head got separated and ended up at the far end of the warehouse.
But that was not the weird part, it was the object that was hovering above him that got my guard up.
It was some sort of weapon glowing very brightly to the point of making my eyes water just looking at it. It seems to be a spear, but with two additional small prongs at the side that gave the appearance of a trident. I could not tell if it had any features besides the unique spearhead because the light was just that bright, and it seemed to be pulsating with demonic energy to the point of sounding like a heartbeat.
My wariness soon turned to anxiety when the others spears started to glow even brighter and with a quick flash, started to fly towards the trident spear, breaking into smaller particles of Prana and merging with it. Okay, so that meant this was the Sacred Gear that the devil was using to create these other spears. But now what?
"Ba~ Bump! Ba Bump!"
The spear was glowing even brighter as the earlier ones got absorbed into it. The demonic energy radiating from it was almost crushing in feeling, and the sense of Deja Vu was kind of getting to me. Sure enough, the spear gave one more glow before it turned quickly and aimed its head at me. It paused for a moment, then with a final glow, flew straight for me.
"OH SHIT!" It was a little too sudden and out of reflex, I threw the sword in my hand at the spear to intercept it. Even if it was only for a split second, I needed it to project a shield.
I had expected the spear to be slightly deflected by the sword and hitting the ground.
I had expected the spear to cut the sword in half and continued on its trajectory.
I even expected the spear to behave like Gae Bolg and bend its way around the sword to get to me.
However those did not happen, and I certainly did not expect the reaction I saw the moment the two weapons met in mid-air.
Time seemed to halt when both tips of the weapons touched each other, before a small point of light started to shine and grew larger to the point of enveloping both weapons. Squinting through the glare, I saw both weapons starting to spin at their contact, then to my surprise, they started to break apart and swirl around in the ball of light, gathering in the center of the ball and started to form a shape that was something similar to the spear.
I couldn't tell further than that because that was when the ball of light started to compress on itself and glow even brighter to the point I had to use my hands to block the glare.
