Closed to Valdis:

It's the same path that she met him the first time, that Sion is walking again. He doesn't seem likely to end up on the ground this time, so that's a good sign... Right?

Open to Punchers and Punchees
Asruld makes his way back into the city. There's something obviously wrong even at first glance – golden light radiates from his skin, and he's trailed by black smoke. ... Black smoke that looks like blood, even.

Dare anyone approach? He's mumbling about something, and occasionally unstable laughter as well.

She'll notice that the cut doesn't even seem to be that deep - for a graze, it really feels like a bleeding papercut under her hand.

But recover? He doesn't want that. "Sword." As he directs them again. All for upper torso this time, because he's hurt her and now he's certain he can finish it.

The pain might have brought a lesser being to its knees, but Valdis knew she had to fight through it. The swords came straight at her and she only had one escape, so she turned and jumped off the shell, trying to roll with the impact, but the pain causing her to land awkwardly and then fresh pain shot through her left leg as it broke beneath the impact. She slammed into the ground, gritting her teeth, tears springing to her eyes.

Asruld did sort of stand there a bit confused for a moment. So maybe the plane he was used to didn't.. have all if this nonsense in the way, and he'd forgotten where he was when there was a Goddess to kill in front of him.

But it doesn't last long, and he steps up to the edge of the shell, and sends a sword for the goddesses head.

She heard the sword coming and rolled away from where she lay in an attempt to avoid it. But she moved an instant too late and though the sword missed her by a hair, pain exploded in her head. The Void screeched in rage as it tried to push the pain away, but its voice faded into silence. She wasn't dead, but the pain was enough that she certainly wished she was. She tried to push herself up, but her arms shook and wouldn't respond. So she took a deep breath and let the light wash away the pain.

Asruld stares down at the goddess. Usually the death of one of that kind was more.. dramatic, explosive, something like that.

But no, the body just laid there. He couldn't feel any more of that gnawing power, so then he'd did it. The goddess was gone.

He stood there a moment, because.. well he didn't feel any different.

"... More, then..." And so he turns, swords reduced to smoke once more, and went in search for more things to kill. They must be hiding, that would be it.
