Just as the two were thinking of new ways to go at it, a loud crashing sound could be heard as they both turned their attention back to the temple. Where they saw half of it falling down the mountain while the other half was being stomped into pieces by a giant Grani who was demolishing what was left.
"NOOOO! MY TEMPLE! What Have You Done!" Aeolus yelled flying over.
Not willing to let him leave, Theoric pursued, forming a large square barrier ahead, cutting him off.
Aeolus ran into the barrier with a loud thump, looking on in despair at where his temple used to be. Watching as Grani jumped down escaping below ground.
Clenching his fist, Aeolus pounded the barrier in anger, before turning around to face Theoric who was sneakily trying to enclose him. Noticing this, Aeolus quickly turned into the wind and fled the space, reappearing behind him, angrier than ever.
Turning around, Theoric left the failed trap there as he carefully watched what Aeolus would do next.
"You Come To My Island, Destroy My Temple, Attack Me!" Aeolus shouted with the winds picking up, swirling around him as his form began to distort,- "I'll Show You Why Zeus And Poseidon Feared ME!" He yelled as his body expanded, turning into a colossal Tornado monster.
The very winds around the island and the surrounding area all picked up to an extreme as Theoric tried his best to maintain control. On the ground, it wouldn't have been an issue, but trying to stay straight while flying in these strong winds was a new challenge entirely.
Seeing the Tornado monster grow in size and wind strength, Theoric couldn't help but mock him some,- "Is that it?" He asked with a bored expression which only further angered Aeolus who continued to increase his size.
Trees and debris were ripped up as Aeolus started to engulf the entire island, eventually, even the mountain started to crumble.
Strengthening his shield, Theoric involuntarily winced unnecessarily every time he was hit with something as he secretly moved the failed trap above. Empowering and expanding what was already there while observing the now supermassive tornado monster, it was quite the sight to behold.
Theoric once again felt so small causing him to sigh, it was starting to seem like he was an ant in a land of giants.
Finished with his transformation, Aeolus narrowed his eyes down at the now tiny Theoric, laughing,- "Haha, now you see your mistake in challenging me, but it's too late to regret, NOW DIE!" He shouted, moving his tornado arm to suck him up.
Losing complete control, Theoric was whipped around inside.
"And how is this suppose to kill me?" He asked with a yawn, appearing nonchalant as he continued to work the hidden trap above.
Aeolus didn't respond as his silhouette monster face turned inward, grinning menacingly at him as he went around and around inside.
Theoric soon realized the danger as the speed was truly becoming insane, each debris was like a missile slamming into him as he tried not to lose concentration on what's above while maintaining the strength of his shield. He even had to utilize healing so he wouldn't lose his equilibrium while spinning crazily.
Then out of nowhere, he was hit with a supercharged wind blade, ripping right through his shield, slashing his armor.
Reforming his shielding he looked around for anymore and ended up see hundreds forming within the winds of the body.
Gritting his teeth,- "Two can play that game, and now you're a much bigger target," he shouted forming more hollow swords which he shot out in every direction only to have them instantly taken care of by either missile fast debris or wind blades, causing Aeolus to laugh at his helplessness.
Dodging another wind blade by the skin of his teeth, Theoric's eyes widened when he saw a giant boulder heading his way. Acting fast, he formed a pointed barrier, shattering the rock away only to have his back hit by another wind blade, tearing through his shield, causing more damage to his armor.
Not liking his armor being damaged, because he had no simple way of repairing it, Theoric gathered his energy and created some makeshift wings in an attempt to better maneuver himself within these crazy winds as he willed himself to go lower. If he could just reach the ground, he would be in a much better position.
Pulling out his two-handed sword, Theoric used a bit of energy to attach it to himself to make sure it wouldn't fly out of his hand as he slashed his way down through debris and wind blades. Making his way steadily to the ground as Aeolus watched on unconcerned about anything he does now, thinking it was he already won, it was only a matter of time before Theoric grew tired and lost in his mind.
Making it to the ground, Aeolus saw the problem too late as Theoric began to bunker down. Turning his attention back above as Aeolus grew angry seeing him act like a turtle again.
Aeolus raged as his winds picked up, even more, tearing up the ground as he lowered himself on top of Theoric, giving his all into wiping this invasive pest out once and for all.
Counting on this Theoric lowered the fully powered trap from above, dropping it straight down.
A wide, thick square encompassing the entirety of the island came crashing down, thankfully the mountains were long gone or this could have been tricky for Theoric in opening just the right amount of space, but now he didn't have to worry about that as he slammed it down with all his might on top of the raging tornado. Smashing the unsuspecting Aeolus straight down to the ground with a very loud 'BOOM' completely flattening the island.
Opening up a spot, Theoric stood on top of his massive energy platform, looking back down through it for any signs of Aeolus, so he could capture him once and for all.
Spotting a crushed old man, groaning in pain, he instantly used the energy around to wrap him up nice and tight so he couldn't escape.
Remembering the girls were underground, he received a panic telepathic communication from Sigyn seconds later,- "Theo, are you okay? Please tell me you're okay."
Theoric- 'Yeah, I'm fine, how about you girls? I hope the ground didn't cave in and hurt you guys."
"We're fine, is it over?" She asked.
Theoric distracted by Aeolus squirming answered a minute later,- 'Ah, yes, everything is fine now, you can come up, but you won't see me, I still need to finish something, I'll be back as soon as I can.' He said flying up so the girls wouldn't have to see what comes next.
