Fend's PL: 75,000 (x4, 40k Base, Suppressed)
"HHHhHHHhHHhhhh." Fend had recovered from her physical damage, but the emotional damage Kowlin was causing to her brain was another story. No, he wasn't causing Fend to question her beliefs or shift her stance on this matter, she just felt like slamming her head into a wall as soon Kowlin started twisting his tale. She ran a hand down her mask, seething and taking in slow, heavy breaths. She didn't care if these people were robbers or miners or whatever, a mass murder was not the sane solution to whatever imaginary problem Kowlin had concocted.
Suddenly, the monster pinned under her foot was now out to only kill evil people. Fend's eye twitched. "Literally less than a minute ago you said that your plan is to "cleanse," or, y'know, kill all mortals." She raised her hands to make air quotes with the word "cleanse," when it was painfully obvious to Fend that Kowlin wanted nothing less than the death of everyone that wasn't a self-proclaimed god. "And just then, you said the mortal problem! Not the 'these bounty hunter guys I murdered specifically' problem! Stop pretending like this is suddenly about these people in particular when I bet you damn don't know any of their lives! Innocent or not, a goddamn massacre is NOT and will never be good or just!"
Kowlin continued, unable to shut himself up apparently. He claimed that the rest of the Shinjin sent him to commit universal genocide. Alright, she knew the rest of the Shinjin were fucked up in the head, but even that was stretching it. Even assholes like Ward or nosy shinjin like Tiamat wouldn't condone that. "...So all of you up there are in kahoots to kill literally every single thing that breathes? Very cool story, bro." Fend quipped, moving to push down on Kowlin harder with her boot. He did mention taking lawbreaking Shinjin back for justice, or whatever, but Fend wasn't rattled by it at all. He damn well could try to take her, and he'd fail.
When Fend moved to swipe Palibur at Kowlin, again the Shinjin would catch it in his hands... But now in its empowered state, the corrupted Shinjin's mere touch clashing with its light would cause a volatile reaction to erupt. To Kowlin, touching the blade would feel like clasping his hands on a hot iron. The burning, divine ki seeping out of Palibur intensified as it came into direct contact with Kowlin, its light suddenly flaring out into many faded colors. Each blob of light would rush towards Kowlin- if it hit, then the ki would stick to his body and slow him down even further. Regardless of if her attack landed, Fend would finally release her grip, content to let Palibur's magic do its work.
"Oh, one more thing. You see that kickass sword I'm using to try and stab you with?" Fend pointed to Palibur with her free hand. "I've only seen my pal here react this much to folks with REEEAALLLLY dark and evil energies. It's like, some old as beans light sword that was made to fight great evils or something, and it seems 'ta really wanna fight you. What do you think that says about you, hmmmmm?" While even Fend herself was still unraveling the truth about Palibur, she spoke with complete confidence. Even without Palibur's guiding light, she knew she was facing a great evil, but rubbing it in a little more couldn't hurt.Fend uses Splatter Paint for 22,500 PL! This has both the Homing Variant, fully negating any Evasive Techniques, and the Exhausting variant, which will cause Kowlin's next attack to suffer a -10% penalty if this does any damage!
