S.Y. 650 Muro 10 2:38 S.Q. - Bardonia Chancellor's Office
While Sirisa frantically tries her best to heal the slowly dying Liam.
"That...that was exhausting.."
[Rion, breathing Heavily]
"I didn't expect it to take that long."
[Gixoh, exhausted as well]
"You two did much better than I expected of you. Since you seem to be able to handle yourselves, I think I'll kick it up a notch."
[Denjo]
Denjo begins sending out a flurry of attacks. Starting with a few small bursts of fire, strikes of lightning, and gusts of wind. Unable to approach due to the flurry of attacks Gixoh and action had to fall back a little. After formulating their plan they began to approach. Rion, being of the Crusader class, took the front line. With his Greatsword, he began to put pressure on Denjo. Though unable to land a strike due to Denjo's Medisea Plants, he had apparently laid them during his initial attacks.
"You're a tough one aren't you?"
[Denjo]
"I guess you could say that."
[Rion]
"Though I do wonder. Where's your teammate, are you two planning something?"
[Denjo]
"I guess you'd just have to wait, won't you."
[Rion]
Now in combat with Denjo, Rion was steadily keeping him at bay. Meanwhile, Gixoh was off on his own, he was preparing to see just how much his training had paid off back at home. Gixoh had spent just a little over a year, within Mt. Fithia, training on his own before the departure. After seeing the new techniques the others had learned he was trying to find a way to feel more useful amongst the others.
"I really hope this works this time, even though I learned it I didn't get much time to actually try it out and master it. I've only got a few of these in me as well."
[Gixoh]
Gixoh began activating his Fizai skill, not just on a single weapon but on both.
"Hmm this looks interesting, let's see where he's going with it."
[Denjo, thinking to himself, now spotting Gixoh in the distance]
"You really shouldn't take your eyes off me."
[Rion, landing a blow to Denjo]
Denjo was lucky enough to avoid serious damage. Leaving him with a slight scar on his face. Dripping with blood Denjo begins his battle once again with Rion. Gixoh who was now finishing the preparations of his new skill began signaling Rion.
"Are you okay?"
[Sirisa, pushing her healing as much as possible]
"Ugh..what...what happened?"
[Liam, starting to come to]
"You almost died! What do you mean what happened?!"
[Sirisa, still finishing up]
"The last thing I remember was fighting Nizer."
[Liam]
"You defeated him, what do you mean?"
[Sirisa]
"I did?"
[Liam, confused]
"Yes, but you nearly lost your life."
[Sirisa]
"What about the others?"
[Liam]
"They're still in battle, honestly we should probably hurry back and help."
[Sirisa helping Liam up]
"Okay give me a second."
[Liam, catching his breath]
As Sirisa and Liam return to the side of Lepricus, who was doing his best to dodge a flurry of arrows Muwa was sending. Gixoh and Rion were still in the midst of fighting Denjo.
With Fizai fully activated on both swords, Gixoh made his way back into the battle between Rion and Denjo. It was already an intense battle, with Rion still holding his own against Denjo was now bruised as well. It seemed that they had exchanged a number of blows leaving them both visibly weaker than the last.
"I see you were holding back before."
[Denjo, panting from exhaustion]
"You didn't expect me to play weak this whole time did you?"
[Rion, panting from exhaustion as well]
"It looks like your friend over there is done though."
[Denjo, pointing over at the returning Gixoh]
Making his way back into the battle, you could see an absolute difference in him now. Not only were his swords emitting flames like the Fizai skill he activated, but his aura seemed to be engulfed by fire as well.
"Move!"
[Gixoh, as he unleashes his first attack]
Barely dodging an impact Rion moved out of the line of fire. Denjo, being a Nature Mage, did his best to activate a Medisea Seed creating a wall of flora, saving him at the last minute.
"That was a close one. I didn't expect him to return that much stronger, but it looks like he did."
[Denjo thinking to himself]
"Don't you dare think that's all I've got."
[Gixoh, continuing his onslaught]
As the battle continued all Denjo could do was activate Medisea Seeds for shielding. Unable to go back on the offense, eventually Gixoh had him pinned against the wall with nowhere to go.
"I'm not sure what changed but these attacks are a lot faster and stronger than before."
[Denjo, thinking to himself]
"You're not going to be able to do much from that wall you know."
[Gixoh, pushing his way through Denjo's flora]
"Trust me I've still got a few tricks under my belt you don't know about."
[Denjo]
Once Gixoh made it all the way through the wall of flora laid by Denjo. The close combat battle began, obviously, Gixoh had the greater advantage but Denjo was able to hold his own. Having to use basic elemental skills to survive, turned the battle into a constant back and forth. Gixoh slashing his way through gusts of wind, rocks, and so forth. While Denjo was on constant defense not to be hit by his flames.
"I think it's been enough time"
[Gixoh, as his aura fully builds]
Releasing a whale, Gixoh fires off a blast of heat at Denjo. Though he was able to withstand some of the blasts he still took a lot of damage.
"I should have figured out what you were much earlier…you're a Drake-Fae aren't you?"
[Denjo, breathing heavily and re-gathering himself]
"Yeah, and so."
[Gixoh]
"Nothing just if I had known earlier we could have ended this a while ago."
[Denjo]
"I didn't expect it to get this far, but with the amount of energy I have left it's all I can try."
[Denjo, thinking as he begins to accumulate the moisture around him]
"I wonder what he's doing?"
[Rion]
"It doesn't look like anything good."
[Gixoh]
"It's over for me if they are able to withstand this."
[Denjo, thinking to himself]
Denjo releases the water he accumulated, sending a wave of water in Gixoh direction. As the wave was about to hit its mark Rion intercepts, taking the damage instead. The Greatsword he used to block begins to crack, being destroyed in the process. The pressure of the blast kept pushing, sending him straight into Gixoh. Pushing the two of them clear across the room.
"Watch out!"
[Gixoh, screaming as they fly across the room]
"Woosh."
[As Lepricus, Sirisa, and Miuwa dodge to passing Gixoh and Rion]
"Gixoh, Rion!"
[Sirisa, reaching out as they pass by]
"Are they okay?"
[Lepricus]
"That should be the least of your worries at the moment."
[Miuwa, continuing his onslaught]
"Thud."
[Gixoh and Rion hitting the wall]
"Ugh, that was a lot stronger than I expected it to be."
[Rion, as he gathers himself, and watches the rest of his greatsword crumble.]
"Heh, I should have figured it wouldn't be that easy."
[Denjo, as he collapses to the ground]
As Gixoh and Rion began to make their way to Denjo's body it began to fade, in the same manner as Nizers. Though he didn't have much to say he did warn them both of Iago, and the changes in him. Telling them that though it may seem as though they are at the advantage. They should stay on guard as the true battle had yet to begin.
