The Abyss Watcher attempts to block off the faster slashes with its own Greatsword, before moving to block the heavier swing; the power of the Fume Knight's swing causes its legs to buckle a bit, but it holds resilient.
And on the side, the second fallen Abyss Watcher... begins to stir...?

-Raime continues by delivering a large overhead swing with his ultra greatsword, intending to smash the Watcher flat with the slab of iron-
Pick up your weapon, even if you hesitate, you cannot give up. Hold on to your ideals, even if you struggle, you cannot waver.
The Watcher is rather easily slammed into the ground, though not quite flattened yet.
And while it seems incapacitated, it's obvious that's not gonna last more than a few seconds.
Seeing as the formerly-dead Watcher from earlier is rushing the Fume Knight right now.

-Seeing this, the Fume Knight swings his ultra greatsword in a low semicircle, both to finish off the first Watcher and deter the other one from coming closer-
Pick up your weapon, even if you hesitate, you cannot give up. Hold on to your ideals, even if you struggle, you cannot waver.
The first Abyss Watcher is flung from the swing, rolling and crashing into a heap quite a distance away, as the second one stops itself beforehand, waiting to swing its own greatsword down the moment Raime's attack ends.

-As Raime is busy lifting his ultra greatsword into stance, the Watcher's attack hits him squarely in the torso-
-Raime responds with a quick slash to create some distance, then follows up with another swing and a stab with his straight sword-
Pick up your weapon, even if you hesitate, you cannot give up. Hold on to your ideals, even if you struggle, you cannot waver.
The Abyss Watch sidesteps the stab, and uses its dagger to deflect the other swings, before making a few quick swings, trying to get through the heavy armor.
As this is going on god dammit the first Abyss Watcher is already beginning to rise, despite the seemingly fatal injury.
And you can hear the thudding footsteps of a third one heading to the battle.

-Raime backsteps, but not before the Watcher struck him several times. He then charges in with a fast but still telegraphed lunge with his ultra greatsword-
-As he attacks, the cracks in his ultra greatsword begins to glow with heat-
Pick up your weapon, even if you hesitate, you cannot give up. Hold on to your ideals, even if you struggle, you cannot waver.
The Abyss Watcher easily sidesteps this, making a roundabout slash with its greatsword...
... as the Third Abyss Watcher attempts to ambush it in the middle of its attack.
Seems they don't quite get along.

-The Fume Knight circles behind one of the Watchers before repeating his ultra greatsword overhead slam, except this time, he tries to hit both of the Watchers with the attack-
Pick up your weapon, even if you hesitate, you cannot give up. Hold on to your ideals, even if you struggle, you cannot waver.
One of the Abyss Watchers catches wind of this, and quickly backstebs away from the slam.
The other, not so much, quickly being disposed of.
The surviving Abyss Watcher quickly takes advantage of this, leaping high into the air, before slamming his greatsword down hard.

-The jumping slash is actually strong enough to stagger him, moreso that part of the attack hits his helmet-
-The Fume Knight then launches another series of swings, first with his regular sword and ending with a semicircular swipe from his ultra greatsword-
-The cracks within his ultra greatsword burns even brighter-
Pick up your weapon, even if you hesitate, you cannot give up. Hold on to your ideals, even if you struggle, you cannot waver.
The Abyss Watcher tries to block the swings, but makes the mistake of attempting to do so with the Ultra Greatsword's swing; its guard is easily broken, leaving it wide open.

-Raime ripostes with a thrust from his straight sword, trying to bury the blade as deep as he could-
-At the same time, he looks around for signs of another Watcher-
Pick up your weapon, even if you hesitate, you cannot give up. Hold on to your ideals, even if you struggle, you cannot waver.
The Abyss Watcher almost gives a death scream, although it sounds like it's been yelled through about a thousand different corriders; it hardly sounds human at all. It stops after a moment, before crumpling to its knees.
... doesn't seem like the other's are getting up.
Although some of them seem to be... burning? Including the one you just killed.

-Raime takes a couple steps backwards and watches, his swords still at the ready-
Pick up your weapon, even if you hesitate, you cannot give up. Hold on to your ideals, even if you struggle, you cannot waver.
The bodies of the second and third Abyss Watcher, as well as those of many other Abyss Watchers, strewned around, half buried, burn into ashes, before the remaining cinders all converge on the corpse of the fall first Watcher.
Parts of it begin to burn brilliantly, giving off a powerful glow from parts of its body, cinders flying off every now and then.
As it rises once more, giving a powerful stare at Raime.

-Raime puts his smaller sword away and lifts up his ultra greatsword. The heat from the weapon's cracks ignites and consumes the entire blade, setting it ablaze with Abyss flames-
-Empowered, the Fume Knight plants his sword into the ground, creating a large shockwave that is followed with masses of Abyss fireballs that spew forth in spiraling fashion-
Pick up your weapon, even if you hesitate, you cannot give up. Hold on to your ideals, even if you struggle, you cannot waver.
Just seeing the Abyssal fire sends the Abyss Watcher into a bit of a frenzy, as it sprints through and leaps over the shockwave, its blades now blazing with fire, as it tries to slam down onto the Fume Knight, even if it has to take a few fireballs as a result.

The Abyss Watcher swiftly dodges the slashes, even as the Abyssal Flames lick at his armor, while countering with several quick slashes from both dagger and sword, fire jutting out to burn and extend the range of its swings.

-Good thing for Raime his armor protects him from fire. But the Watcher's greatsword still struck his armor squarely, and it still harms him more now that the Watcher is empowered-
-Raime dashes back, and counters with a taste of the Watcher's own medicine - A jumping version of his overhead slam, quick and powerful enough to hurt those that stay too close to the impact zone-
Pick up your weapon, even if you hesitate, you cannot give up. Hold on to your ideals, even if you struggle, you cannot waver.
The Abyss Watch quickly backsteps, but is still flung back from the shockwave. It recovers quickly, however, and sprints at the Fume Knight, swinging diagonally downward at Raime.
