[It crumbles - writhes and shudders on the ground. A pathetic skill able to fell a power that destroyed a god. It calls back every moment in Mementos where bleeding, cowering, pathetic little creatures writhed, begged, pleaded under his heel while he crushed the life out of them. The tentacles don't do any of that. He wishes they did. Azathoth is unphased as ever. Maruki-
Resolute. Intense. The real Maruki Takuto drug out to rot in a fake world.]
As if I care about your forgiveness.
[The debuff hits - an annoyance. Attack down. A new power. One turn. Three turns. It doesn't matter in the goddamn slightest. He won't stop - won't ever stop and Loki thrums in his chest. Debilitate ready. Debilitate there, but-
Not yet. He doesn't need it. Loki is Akechi - it's his true self. Akechi won't give it easily or freely.
Maruki buffs himself. Whatever. Akechi will be pummeled with an infuriating powerful attack that sparks life into him as it takes it. Glee. Hit after hit of an unmatched power he wants to grasp and rip apart with his own hands.
He doesn't even brace for it.
Almighty doesn't work - not well. He doesn't fucking bother Megidolaon - the explosive SP gouging attack does little.
Instead, he moves closer to make up for his lack of power - Kouga unleashed against the downed healing tentacle and-
He pivots - knife sliding out of pocket and into his hand, moving to get as close to Maruki as possible to stab anywhere he can. Robin Hood preparing for another Kouga at his back.
That physical damage is impossible to avoid with the range of Maruki's attack - getting close won't change a goddamn thing, but if he's lucky, the man will be hit by his own ability or Akechi's fucking knife.]

The true Maruki? You're nothing but trash!
