Alexios grounded his teeth tightly together clenching his hand into a hard fist circling blue fire around his hand. He threw the blue fireball at Cross who chopped in half with his hand. The force of the blue fireball caused Cross to shoot through the giant blue fireball shockwave. Cross landed on his feet clearing his throat. Alexios dispersed the giant fireball shockwave walking towards Cross slowly with a look of death in his eyes. Alexios sucked in the populated poison vapors inside of his mouth causing his stomach to air up like a balloon. As he opened his mouth a giant wave of blue fire came out of his mouth as if he was a dragon. Everything in the blue flame's path was burned. Cross lucky dodged the giant blue flame. The blue giant flamethrower attack cost him half of his strength.
He breathed heavily coughing up chunks of blood. Cross took the advantage and kneeled him in the face crushing his jaw. Alexios tumbled to the ground holding his broken jaw as the bone dangled. Alexios overpowered Cross shoving his entire left hand inside of Cross's stomach pulling out his large and small intestine tossing it to the side. Cross now stood in a pool of blood that was his own. Cross's stomach suddenly closed up the healing perfectly. "I already told you before." "Healing is for, weaklings!!" Alexios placed his hand on the ground gathering blue fire around his hand. The ground began to shake and rumble. Alexios began growing taller once again. Suddenly Akashiri came behind Alexios slitting his throat. Cross looked at Akashiri growing mad. "I wasn't planning to fucking Akashiri!" "We have to help Orion and Jesse." Cross walked away from Alexios body sprinting away to help Orion and Jesse.
In front of Cruz"s Palace.
Rx-23 eyes were now settled on Orion and Jesse. He ordered two soldiers into drag Aegeus"s body into Cruz"s Palace. Rx-23 pulled out a short sword sprinting towards Orion. Orion quickly grabbed the sword crushing it into his hand. Orion shadowed punch Rx-23 in the chest making him vomit up blood crashing through the closed gate. Rx-23 quickly got on his feet ripping a piece of the gate off throwing the piece of the gate at Orion like a spear. Orion grabbed the spear, tossing it to the side. Rx-23 grounded his teeth together gathering life energy around his body. Small pieces of rock began to circle his body slowly. Suddenly the speed began to pick up. He fired the pebbles at Orion who dodged all the pebbles infused with Rx-23's aura. He dodged all the pebbles swiftly. A couple of the pebbles went through trees as if they were paper. Orion caught one of the pebbles crushing it in his hand. As he opened his hand the pebble turned to dust blowing into the low winds.
Rx-23 used this as a diversion. He quickly appeared in front of Orion punching him in the face. Blood squirted out of Orion's mouth making him crash through a giant boulder. Orion quickly got on his feet jumping back. He noticed that Rx-23 was nowhere to be found. Orion suddenly was kicked in the spine which made a loud cracking noise. Orion smashed through a tree that was home to millions of bugs. The bugs climbed on Orion's body sucking blood from his body. He channeled aura around his body which turned the bugs into ash. Orion cracked his fractured spine back in place. "Tch." "You may be a better martial artist than me but your not quick enough." Orion grinned clenching his right hand into a fist cracking all of his knuckles. He punched the air and high circulated winds picked up. Rx-23 was able to walk in the high circulate winds. He formed a beam in his hand throwing it at Orion. Orion dodged the beam chopping the air with hid hand letting out a blue sword beam. The sword beam sliced Rx-23 on the chest, causing blood to spray out and sticky transparent substance to slowly leak on the floor. Rx-23 shoved his hand in his chest pulling out a glob of sticky transparent substance. He rubbed the sticky transparent substance and his chest which rapidly closed. "This sticky transparent substance is an exoskeleton armor that shields my body from any time of damage from plasma bolts to nuclear atomic bombs that could destroy a planet." "As long as I have this exoskeleton armor on victory will be impossible for you to gain." Orion shaped his head with a serious expression in his face.
"You talk too much"." Allow me to show you a technique which could wipe you and that exoskeleton off the face of this realm." "Tch." "Try me." Rx-23 began firing multiple beams at Orion. Orion suddenly circled aura around his hands clasping both of his hands together. Suddenly a small beam was formed in his hand. He fired the beam at Rx-23 which became a regular "Reinforced Blast". The Reinforced Blast wiped all the incoming beams that headed his way. Rx-23 did not have enough time to dodge the Reinforced Blast. The Reinforced Blast engulfed Rx-23's body making him fly into the sky. A loud bang occurred. The force of the explosion engulfed the entire island of St. Paradise, causing the high tides to rise.
Inside Cruz"s Palace...
Aegues were covered in blood and were tossed at Cruz" feet. "Finally, we are able to meet." Aegues spat blood on the ground coughing like a fifty-year-old smoker. "What the fuck do you
want with me?" "I heard rumors that you know the safe routes to the floating Temple Of Wisdom." "Even if I knew I wouldn't tell you." "What do you want with that wisdom anyway?" "That's none of your fucking business." 'Cough up the information or I will have you torture in the most fucked up way." "Is that supposed to make me fucking scared?" Suddenly one of Cruz"s soldiers punched him in the face knocking out five of teeth making him vomit up blood.
