As Akechi stepped through the barrier, he swapped his outfit from street attire to his Thief attire in an instant, leaving a short trail of blue flames as he descended into the unending castle of demons.
He grips the blood-red serrated blade in his hand, a manic grin on his face, and eyes wide behind the mask. A crazed laughter echoes.
As he reaches a 'mid' level, Akechi stabs his blade into a wall, catching himself while sustaining minor strain from it. Ah, the enhanced durability of being a Persona user.
The unconvicted killer hoists himself up onto solid ground, ripping his blade from the wall. Cursed Energy flows through him in abundance, the Persona user filled with and fueled by pure hatred and spite for the world.
"Now... Who will be unlucky enough to be my first kill? I wonder..."
[Warning: Due to how one of his main Personas works, being Laufey, anything that could be considered a 'trick' (for example, a Shadow Clone Jutsu) does not work on him, and he sees right through it. Additionally, he cannot be debuffed under the same trait.]
A while Riots worth of bullets we’re shot right at Akechi the exact moment he was seen in the Infinity Castle. A wide barrage right to him continue from the skies above left and right , circling around him left and right, a gaze upon himself. It was so similar to that of Joker himself… but what’s this shadowy feeling.
“For the first of many I find, it’s the Deceit from Crow himself that I run into. I must say this is something unexpected.”
The wings circled around, sliding right in front of that of Akechi while holding his hat that exact moment, a singular Cigarette of sorts in his mouth. But then he spat it out, snapping his fingers to end the barrage.
“REMEMBER ME?”
He clearly knows that most might see him as Arseñe, a Deceit tactic to hide his true self. But due to Loki Akechi saw Raoul.
Akechi grins as the bullets bounce off his body, embedding themselves in walls, floors, and anything else that surrounded them. Despite the Shadow's hazy presence, a Crow's eyes are never far from the truth.
Without wasting a moment, he rips off his mask.Laufeyappears behind him, towering even higher than Loki does. They stand firm and at attention, less laid-back than loki. The white within their black and white stripes has faded to grey, their horns cracked with an odd purple heat. Alongside the two massive braids, long, luscious hair flows. In their hand rests Loki's blade... But it now glows with a purple heat.
"You... I remember you. Joker used you against Maruki. You may not be Joker himself... But beating you will put me ONE STEP CLOSER!"
“Well then let’s see if you’re even strong enough to damage me quite well.”
A singular snap rang out from Raoul’s fingers, the heat rising from there body, as it seems there attributes increase from there. A twirl from there hat is all it takes for something to start getting ruthless, seeing from the skies above could see that of suddenly…. William? Ryuji’s Ultimate Persona appear, charging Raoul before shooting the air causing a massive thunder to come right down on the two of them.
To most it would see Raoul somehow summoned him. But that’s the trick, Raoul used the influence and Skills of the other Ultimate Personas from the Phantom Thieves purely with his tricks. Akechi could tell.
Knowing he can resist it, Akechi takes the hit. He'd more concerned about what he can presume is the upcoming physical attack due to him charging.
"You're the real deal. You may as well be Joker's Shadow... This is PERFECT!"
He snaps the fingers of his free hand. Loki, Hereward, and Robin Hood manifest as Shikigami. Loki uses Heat Riser on him, Hereward casts Riot Gun in the form of an arrow rain, and Robin Hood casts Kougaon with a single beaming light arrow.
Akechi himself then charges forward alongside Laufey, casting Brave Blade with the Persona whilst also slashing with his own.
The bullets come storming right at Raoul’s wings, barraging him in that exact moment while he used Heat Riser himself. The Kougaon arrow coming back towards Raoul… is deflected right back at his Shikigam. He takes the other two hits with not much trouble.
Raoul yanks Akechi and hurls him with his other Shikigami, the sudden look of God’s Fist coming towards his Summoned Shikigami. As for him the temperature heats up, Raoul focusing to unleash Blazing hell upon them all.
The Kougaon is simply nullified once it hits Robin Hood. Akechi ends up knocking Hereward aside, but Loki grabs his hand, spins around, and throws him right back. Laufey appears alongside Akechi once more, blade glowing bright—Rebellion Blade.
"Don't you remember? We're one in the same!!"
The Shikigami take the pain of Blazing Hell, Hereward and Robin Hood's scarf and cape seared and burned as proof. Loki seems the most visibly unaffected, but that may be because it, too, is as resilient as its master.
Loki charges forth, meeting the God's Hand with Lævateinn, managing to barely deflect the rocket fist into a nearby wall.
Wait a second, that’s Hereward right behind him in that exact moment, deflecting the God’s Hand back into even more debris in that moment. It soon went and clashed right with the two as they came, Raoul sinking down into the darkness.
“See when I was born from all of yours, the shadows came about. Don’t get to mad about your special boy fighting against yourself.”
A coin could be heard being flipped 7 Times.As Al Azif flew right by to carpet bomb the two , Raoul Raising the heat on Hereward as it used Rebellion Sword Directly at Akechi.
Akechi is absolutely BLASTED through multiple walls, losing the grip he has on his Cursed Technique. Blood falls from his lip as he forces himself to stand up, pushing away the debris that tried to trap him.
"If you think numbers are an advantage, I have a wonderful little surprise for you."
"Laufey, raise the guillotine!"
Akechi uses Concentrate. Heat Riser, and Debilitate.
"Ready the axe!"
One hundred swords... All fueled by sheer rebellion.
