The sound of two speeding objects constantly colliding. This was all Kyle could hear for the next minute as Abrak and Zoro appeared and disappeared from view. They moved quick and their attacks were precise. Kyle managed to pick up Dyrnwyn and twirl it in his hand for a moment as he looked to his friends. Alicia had picked herself up using her bow for support. Kyle took this as a positive sign since it meant she was still alive. Hannah was still on the ground and Kyle rushed over to her hoping he wouldn't be hit by surprise. He reached Hannah and crouched low.
He placed a hand to Hannah's neck and felt her warmth. She was still alive and breathing. Kyle got up and looked back to the flashes from the fighting duo. The drizzling had now turned into a bit of heavy rain. Everybody was drenched and Kyle could feel the cold creeping in.
He gripped Dyrnwyn tightly and stepped forward.
"[flame magic: flame rush]"
Bright orange flames spread from under Kyle's feet and set the grass ablaze. The flames and heat propelled Kyle forward a few paces but the speed was enough for him to get back in the battlefield quickly. He twirled Dyrnwyn and quickly swung it creating a small breeze.
He just needed to do that and Abrak would use the breeze to cast powerful wind magic.
"[Gale magic; Increase]"
The small breeze was fading just as Kyle felt it explode in his face. The strong breeze spread everywhere uprooting grass blades and spraying dirt everywhere. The distraction had been set now they could only hope Zora fell for it even if for just a moment.
Kyle clenched his free hand and black markings appeared. He closed his eyes, slowed his breathing and summoned his servant.
{I need you Láeg!!}
[First name: Láeg Last name:
Class: King of charioteers
Rating: (UR), 9.7777777777....]
The silver earring pendants on Kyle's ears started melting away as the black bracelet on his arm began to shine brightly. The materialization was quick and painless as Láeg appeared with his chariot and horses. Kyle jumped onto the chariot and Láeg pulled on the reigns.
The horses reacted immediately and pulled the chariot. First the chariot wheels moved slowly and the chariot was gone leaving a trail of charred grass. Kyle had to close his eyes as the chariot followed the fighting duo closely and the fast light hitting his eyes almost blinded him.
"I need a spear!"
Láeg obeyed and pulled out one of the spears in the weapon rack. He handed it over to Kyle who twirled it impressively before tossing it with all his might. At the speeds they were moving the spear could do some real damage. Luckily they were moving at the same speed as the fighting duo so Kyle had a better accuracy chance and the spear hit its target right in their back.
Zora lurched as the spear dug into his back drawing out blue blood. This sudden halt of attack gave Abrak a chance to strike Zora in the eyes with his dagger. He quickly twirled his dagger and stabbed twice drawing out blood and pus.
"AAARGGGH!! YOU BASTARD."
Now everybody had come to a stop and Kyle safely hopped out of the chariot holding Dyrnwyn tightly. They hadn't won yet and this became evident pretty quickly.
"[Unique magic; exchange; strength for vitality]"
The crimson aura that had enveloped Zora disappeared in a flash and Zora's wounds healed silently. Kyle frowned and silently swung his sword while Abrak did a low kick. Zora was in the dead centre of it and even with his healed wounds he failed to avoid the sword swing that clipped his ear while the low kick swept his feet from under him. Zora hit the ground hard and Abrak didn't waste this chance as he hit Zora with a barrage of quick attacks. Zora didn't even get a chance to retaliate as Abrak stabbed his eyes once more.
"I'll kill you!!!"
"Feel free to try."
Abrak took a step back as Zora abruptly stretched an arm out to grab Abrak. Kyle didn't fail to notice this and swung his sword quickly as he distributed his mana on its surface. The silver mana erupted into bright golden flames and sliced cleanly through Zora's arm drawing out blue blood.
"[Flame magic; Blade flames]"
Kyle watched as Zora's cleaved arm separated itself from the body and Zora roared in anger. Kyle stepped back as Láeg and his chariot dematerialized back into a bracelet and earring pendants. Despite how strong Láeg was he was a charioteer meant to assist his master. He was powerful but wouldn't be of much advantage in a quick moving battle like this one. At least not now since Kyle hadn't fully incorporated Láeg into the plan.
They just didn't know the use of his power just yet.
Zora got up in a single movement as the bleeding from his eyes and cut arm came to a stop. Then Kyle watched as flesh started growing from the stump in a quick healing attempt. The giant mass of flesh shaped into an arm in mere moments and Zora clenched the hand into a tight fist. His eyes also healed and he swung a punch towards Kyle catching Kyle off guard and hitting him directly in the shoulder, dislodging it.
Kyle cried out in pain as he stumbled back. He dropped Dyrnwyn and held his shoulder in a feeble attempt to stop the immense pain. Kyle could feel drool escaping his mouth as he yelled in pain.
"To think you would manage to cut off my arm. Now I'm sure of it, the power you wield isn't yours it belongs to that sword otherwise you would have been able to handle that punch."
Zora grit his teeth as his clipped ear also healed itself but he quickly turned to face a quick punch from Abrak. He managed to catch the punch in his palm and a small breeze was the result of the abrupt halt. But this was something Abrak had expected.
"[Gale magic; Increase]"
The fading breeze suddenly exploded in strength and hit Zora right in the chest pushing the vampire back a few paces. Abrak twirled his dagger and pointed the blade towards Zora.
"[Flame magic; Doll creation]"
There was an orange flash as a single flame erupted from the tip of the dagger. The flame grew in mere seconds taking a humanoid form and wearing orange armor similar to Abrak's. In fact the flame humanoid looked like an orange version of Abrak.
Abrak did something surprising and threw his dagger into the dirt before sprinting forward to engage Zora. The Flame Abrak then picked up the dagger, twirled it and ran in a different direction. Zora followed it with his eyes only to feel a strong punch land on his abdomen. Abrak didn't slow down for a moment as his body twisted to land hit after hit. A punch to the neck, a kick to the knees, a slap to the face and a roundhouse kick to the face. Zora couldn't react fast enough and only managed to catch one of Abrak's attacks but it turned out to be a feint.
"Will you stop your Tomfuckery already!?!"
"Not a chance."
