Chapter 112: Intense Battle III
Continuous energy slashes destroyed the stone blocks flying in like rain. The entire stands roared with excitement, especially the men; they looked as if they were in the battle instead of those two.
The longer Mythyr stood controlling, the more her blood heated up; the feeling of attacking continuously without hitting drained her patience. She also didn't expect the battle would develop like this.
Above, Selena watched intently.
"He fights durably for a long time. If Ms. Mythyr didn't have the Earth element, surely the battle would have gone in a bad direction."
Lin hurried to say to Kazuka:
"It seems she still has no plan for the next attack. Now we need to be proactive."
Kazuka still swung out a rain of energy slashes, large and small, flying away. Listening to Lin, he knew he needed to be proactive to continue the development of this battle, otherwise, it would be stuck in a tug-of-war like this forever.
Jumping back behind a somewhat large rock. The line of sight was covered and he was not attacked, unless she controlled some stone pillars to fly around. But she maintained and created a series of stone pillars, making focus very difficult.
He ducked low near the rock and tilted the rock a bit forward. Then he used strong force and hurled the spinning rock toward Mythyr. She immediately swung her sword and slashed the rock in half, her alert eyes scanning around, thinking Kazuka would use the rock to cover her sight and attack suddenly, but there was none.
Kazuka at this moment created an energy blade in both hands; the sword was planted into the ground right beside him. He stabbed both hands into the stone floor of the arena that still remained, then used energy to transmit downward as if to separate the dirt stuck to the stone, along with a long crack running along both sides.
Kazuka hurled an entire large section of the arena floor toward Mythyr. Small dirt and rocks flew everywhere. That large stone section created a large shadow over the arena.
Mythyr swung a horizontal energy slash toward Kazuka, then she planted her sword into the ground and raised both hands to the sky. She was an Earth element controller, but such a large section was very difficult; if it were this whole amount but in small segments, then it would be possible. She gritted her teeth hard, both eyes open wide as if they wanted to pop out, wanting to return this giant stone section.
Mythyr's energy slash at this moment flew toward Kazuka, but he simply jumped up and avoided it.
Immediately, his two legs opened wide like two solid pillars pinned to the ground. Kazuka opened his mouth wide, arching his back a bit; blue energy flashed from his mouth and was constantly concentrating.
Lin was excited: "Great, she wants to block again rather than avoid, too arrogant."
The arena section had stopped in the air and was thrown toward Kazuka with Mythyr's exhaustion to the point of turning red.
But at this moment, Kazuka launched a large energy column and advanced toward Mythyr with extremely fast speed; the wind shrieked, the ground under his feet parted in two and sank low, dust flew blindingly. His two legs were as if pinned tightly to the ground, his body leaning forward.
The large stone section falling arrived and was immediately pierced with a large hole and shattered then fell down. Mythyr was caught in a difficult situation. Luckily for her, she was in time; a stone pillar from underground lunged up and picked Mythyr up as she stood on it and avoided it.
Boom!!!
The large energy column launched straight into the wall far away and created a large hole in the wall. Then the energy column gradually turned off.
Kazuka breathed out a long, hard breath, not because of exhaustion from too much but because opening his mouth for a long time made him tired. Now he knew he still had energy, but if the development continued, fighting until afternoon, Kazuka would surely show signs of exhaustion.
Retracting the sword from the ground and standing silently looking at Mythyr standing on a rock.
"Likely if there is a chance for further direct confrontation, I must hit."
Mythyr decided to go big while she currently had much energy. Suddenly, energy surrounded her like spinning circles and the energy was lighting up.
Lin, with an urgent voice, warned Kazuka:
"Attack quickly, she wants to use that old move."
Kazuka also realized it beforehand; currently, the distance was each person at one end of the arena, making it very difficult to close in. But he had no other way, jumping powerfully and shearing the wind to lunge.
But Mythyr knew she could not create the old move, but she could create a part of its power. With fourteen silver double-headed metal spikes pointing forward. Her eyes were pinned on the lunging Kazuka; she launched each metal spike.
Kazuka was radiating energy to sense better. Lin hurried to say:
"Dodge to the right."
Kazuka dodged accordingly; the metal spike grazed past his face and he still clearly felt that heat but it was faster.
Lin spoke urgently: "She is only using a little, you can still dodge it."
Mythyr guessed Kazuka's movement direction and launched more metal rods.
Kazuka continuously avoided and lunged; Mythyr read the movement, but Lin's reminders to Kazuka made him react clearly faster. He swung a slash, cutting through the incoming metal rod and the slash lunged toward the stone block she was standing on.
Mythyr jumped up and avoided it as the rock exploded. While in the air, a series of stone blocks floated up and launched toward Kazuka.
Kazuka suddenly saw his sword sheath still intact right under his feet.
Boom!!!
Kazuka created a large explosion, making dust and smoke fly blindingly. But of course, both felt where the other was.
As Mythyr fell near the ground, suddenly from the smoke lunged out as if torn apart, a sword sheath with a fairly sharp sheath-tip lunged without energy. She tilted her body to avoid it, not bothering to catch it, also partly cautious fearing if it was strong enough it might pierce her protective energy layer.
Suddenly, an energy slash tore through the thin black smoke that was dissipating. Mythyr also responded with one of her energy slashes, but accompanied by jamming energy.
Boom!!!
A large explosion in the air as the two slashes collided and created a black smoke.
Kazuka launched underneath the explosion. Mythyr also landed.
Both swung out two slashes full of power and energy, throwing wind and dust flying around. Then they bounced their swords back; Mythyr unleashed a horizontal energy slash wanting to split Kazuka in two. But he arched back and avoided it. Immediately flipping backward, and responding with a vertical energy slash.
Airi stood above observing and analyzing:
"She seems not to know how to coordinate when fighting. Having the Earth element but not using it at these times; if it were Takeshi, it would be different."
Mythyr swung her sword, splitting Kazuka's energy slash in two.
Kazuka lunged, while in Kazuka's head, Lin had coached Kazuka on another plan.
When Kazuka lunged, Kazuka spun the sword as if throwing it up, then his hand no longer held the sword but released it. While the sword was hovering, Kazuka swung a palm strike toward the sword hilt, at the same time pushing energy in.
Mythyr tilted to one side, but she saw the string connected to the hilt and realized. She wanted to swing her sword to cut that string. But that was a mistake, precisely because she chose to cut the string to not be trapped, instead of retreating or creating an explosion.
Kazuka swung a punch from his left hand through the red energy layer and punched her face directly, making her face deform and nosebleed flow.
His right hand jerked the sword back and the string disappeared. At the same time, Kazuka turned his palm and slashed with the energy blade pointing toward Mythyr's belly.
But how could she easily take continuous blows? She was a town guardian, too. Immediately she kneed with thick energy and knocked away Kazuka's slashing hand. Then she punched with her left hand toward Kazuka's face, forcing his right hand, which wanted to catch the sword, to come up to block.
Then Mythyr's right hand swung the sword horizontally; Kazuka arched back again.
Arching back was very effective in combat, very flexible, able to easily avoid close-range blows.
At the same time as the horizontal sword sweep, Mythyr swept her left leg on the ground, wanting to make Kazuka lose balance. But Kazuka had propped his hands backward and flipped; at the same time, his two legs clamped tightly onto Mythyr's sword, making her panic, wanting to jerk it back.
But Kazuka used his strength and clamped hard and flipped the sword out of Mythyr's hand, flying backward. The entire stands went "oh" at the flexible move.
Earlier Kazuka had not caught the sword and was busy blocking Mythyr's punch. So now he created an energy blade on his right hand and a spear on his left hand.
Mythyr retreated two steps, also creating an energy spear with a bright red color. Her angry face was deformed.
Kazuka threw the spear toward Mythyr; she seemed to know how to use a spear and spun it a few times then knocked away Kazuka's incoming energy spear. Immediately after, she pointed the spear tip forward, but before her eyes was a large rock flying in. She did not use her Earth element ability but used the energy spear to slash the incoming rock in two.
Kazuka lunged, but suddenly under Kazuka's feet was a large, dark, and deep hole.
Takeshi above frowned.
"Why is she just now creating a hole? Didn't know how or just found out."
Kazuka fell straight down the black hole; immediately the ground shook violently and wanted to close up.
Below where Kazuka fell, he stabbed the energy spear into the wall and gripped it with his hand. Then he used his strength and jumped up to stand on the energy spear, then concentrated much energy down to his feet and jumped powerfully upward. As the large hole gradually closed, it was also when Kazuka lunged up. Mythyr could not block as she had to maintain the closing of the hole's mouth, wanting to bury Kazuka under there.
She looked up at Kazuka hovering in the air. Quickly creating a metal sharp spike and spinning it in a short time with weaker power than her certain-kill move. Kazuka tilted his body in the air and avoided it after being reminded by Lin inside his head, then fell and landed, making the ground crack.
Mythyr clicked her tongue in discomfort.
She was currently extremely impatient.
Kazuka was thinking of the next strategy seeing Mythyr looking at him, temporarily fairly far so not afraid. Actually, he was also showing signs of weakening mentally from having to maintain focus and alertness at the highest level, making his head extremely tired.
