Attack, get hit, and heal. Over and over again. Adam continued his fight with Typhon, who seemed to be accumulating damage over time.
"Your methods are ingenious, but how long will your mana last?!" [Typhon]
Grinding his blades against Krino, Typhon headbutted Adam.
"Ngh!" [Adam]
Gritting his teeth, Adam swung his head back and returned another headbutt.
"You have guts!" [Typhon]
Typhon stuck his blades together into a spear, then proceeded to feint a slash into a punch. However, Adam blocked it with a single arm.
("Ow! My arm!") [Adam]
His arm felt numb from the pain, but he pushed forward.
"Balance the scales, Krino!" [Adam]
Black and white swords appeared above him, causing Typhon's eyes to widen in surprise.
"By the gods…" [Typhon]
The swords rained down from above, forcing Typhon to split his spear apart to deflect the attacks.
"Is this your ethereal blade's power?!" [Typhon]
The blades poured down on him, yet he still wasn't being pushed back.
"They're weak! This isn't enough to stop me!" [Typhon]
"I know." [Adam]
Hidden behind the onslaught of black and white, Adam appeared with a handful of compressed air.
"Pressure Cannon." [Adam]
"You?!" [Typhon]
A blast of air struck Typhon's chest, carrying a huge momentum behind it. However, Typhon slammed his feet into the ground and withstood it.
"This guy is insane!" [Krino]
Within moments of combat, Adam had noticed glimpses of improvement within Typhon. If he wanted to win, Adam would have to do so quickly.
("I can't stop here!") [Adam]
Using his trusted sword, Krino, Adam slashed at Typhon.
"Not good enough!" [Typhon]
Typhon defended himself with his blades. Adam and Typhon then exchanged blows, causing sparks to fly.
("Krino! Give me more lightning!") [Adam]
"Are you serious?! I don't think your body can handle it!" [Krino]
("Do it!") [Adam]
Something pulsed inside of Adam, sending lightning further from his arms down to his chest.
"Urgh!" [Adam]
His strength multiplied. It felt like his grip on the sword became stronger, and the recoil of clashing blades was lighter.
"You're hitting harder…? I see. Your lightning is quite powerful, but so is my fire!" [Typhon]
Fire flared from the cracks of his armor, also seemingly enhancing his strength.
("Krino! Give me more!") [Adam]
"I can't! You won't last long!" [Krino]
Adam's body screamed in pain as he fought off Typhon, but he still kept the conversation going.
("...How long?") [Adam]
"One minute." [Krino]
("Do it.") [Adam]
Krino believed Adam to be insane. Nonetheless, he did in fact believe in Adam.
"...Fine." [Krino]
Lightning suddenly shot down from his chest to his legs. His eyes lit up with sparks and a veil of branching lights covered his entirety like the roots of a tree.
"What?!" [Typhon]
Adam unleashed a storm of slashes at Typhon, each holding a significant amount of force and lightning behind it.
"This… I can't believe it…" [Arthur]
Being a spectator to such a battle left Arthur completely speechless. He felt blinded as the flashing lights around Adam grew and grew, until eventually an outline formed.
"Armor…?" [Arthur]
The lightning shaped itself into something similar to a sketch of plated armor. As the fight progressed, even a cape formed.
("This can't be…!") [Typhon]
Seeing Adam's growth surprised both Typhon and Arthur. Witnessing such a thing only brought one thing to mind.
("He's… advancing!") [Arthur] [Typhon]
Faster, stronger, and sharper. It was getting increasingly harder for Typhon to fend off Adam's attacks.
"Hurry! You only have thirty seconds!" [Krino]
A throbbing pain pounded at Adam's chest, alarming him of his body's state.
("Not… enough!") [Adam]
Ten seconds passed.
("More…") [Adam]
Then twenty.
("More…!") [Adam]
Finally, thirty seconds were up. However, Adam wasn't done yet.
"I NEED MOREEE!!" [Adam]
An explosion of blue lightning burst forth, tearing apart his surroundings. It was then that two words exited his mouth.
"Soul… Aggression…!" [Adam]
