Chapter 335 - 335. The 'Gale Tower's challenge - Floor 1 (Asa Hideo)

[The Godly Awakenings: Arc 15]

A 'GINKEN' a weapon which consists itself out of 'Spirituality' and extend another human's power.

These weapons are created upon a Human's birth at which point they're then known as a warrior with a title of 'Spiritual Duelist'.

Over centuries over millions of 'GINKENS' have been born and over a consistent lifespam, these weapon have became known as a tradition that many people end up knowing, their existence requires a strong body, a strong mind and a well durable body and only if a human manages to reach these specific 'importances' the 'GINKEN' will reveal itself and connect upon another's wielder Aura, which is built out of 'Spiritual Force' or in simple ways 'Pressure'.

About 75% of the world's population remain alive with such weapon and 3% of them are known to have Demon Blood, the main source that embraces up a 'Half-Demon'.

In current timeline, a woman - a Godess and the enhancer of the first 'GINKEN' appearances named 'Zero' lurks around the World with 98% of the people unaware about her, and with it, people believe that the World's finally been cleared of Demons, however many of the early-arriving Demons are still standing among the World.

[Planet Earth - Skylane - City (Gale Tower - Floor 1) - Saturday, 4:10 p.m.]

With the challenge beginning, Tim and Codey had another 7 hours and 10 minutes remaining before they're set to lose the challenge, will these two survive until the very end, or will they drop out?

[Planet Earth - Skylane - City (Gale Tower - Floor 1) - Saturday, 4:10 p.m.]

"Now, that you have been warned about the rules, begin whenever you're ready." Raising the steel pole and spinning it above his head, it was smashed down at the ground, the whirl of wind had passed through the battlefield, around Tim and Codey's feet, once Zero sat calmly, giving them a smile.

("In reality, I had known that these two would take on the challenge and had already prepared the rule set, truly, Ayuka is not in the challenge, but it was put on this set so that both of them would not waste time. This tower has been approved by me and the 'Gale Holders' had listened to my command and all that I had said was a lie. If they are really so willing to visit the 'Holy Archs', they must be prepared, and to why I had not mentioned it to Elliot, is due to his lack of responsibility in battle. Whenever it comes to maneuvering his abilities in battle, he is very skilled, but unlike Tim and Codey who have dedicated their hearts to stopping Ayuka's marriage, Elliot has been put with them to comfront and have a backup for it to be necessary... All that they must do, is defeat these ten 'Gale Holders' to preface the battle. Once they are finished with that, they will be allowed to rest for the night, but the morning will be soothfully an instantaneous departure, this is only to test their 'will of the battle'.") Zero thought and kept as many things hidden as possible toward the two of them.

The pole guaranteed a time 'limit' on the side of the screen once Tim and Codey began to notice their time counting down. "Tim, I know your style of fighting is completely different from my own, so I recommend this... I would like of you to fight him up close, as that is your main offensive in battle. I'll stay behind most of the times to attack from afar, but if necessary, I'll hint at you, that which display a switcharoo." Explained Codey, standing next to him.

"And you believe they I'll be able to react that quick toward your hints?" Tim wondered, when trying to think of a better solution. "At least I got hopes in you, even if we screw up our lineups, there won't be a proper defeat, think you can deal with close combat? Remember the volley ball? Try to act like a 'setter', set the battle in our favor by setting up the battlefield for me, keep focused at your opponent at all time and whenever you see the opportunity, make sure that you don't waste it, you're taking on two important roles, setting the battlefield to our favor, while at the same time, being a hitter and try to knock him behind the line." Tim reached behind his back when his sword appeared in his arms, once he moved his left arm past his right shoulder and grabbed the handle, when spreading his legs.

"So, your way to explaining my role is to use 'volleyball' roles to our advantage, guess it's at least a decent example, just try not to fake me out, at last." Tim claimed once he lowered his body. "Don't worry, if it comes from my mouth, it'll happen, the same way that you promised Ayuka, have that as your main reason to fight." Codey smiled, once Tim's eyes became emotionless. "...

-

At last the wind whirl spun around the battlefield in which point Tim instantly disappeared from the spot and dashed through the battlefield within a sincere speed, when beginning with a jump and swinging his sword past his head down into Hideo's body.

Hideo prepared his pole when instantly raised it before his eyes and blocked Tim's sword in which case the wind surfed the area, Tim noticed a shake at the pole's right edge when quickly letting go of his sword and forcibly turning his body aside when avoiding the pole's swing, landing on the floor and immediately grabbed the sword in both of his arms upon landing, and then disappeared from the spot, instantly reappearing behind Hideo and slashed sideways once Hideo quickly ducked and hit the pole backward into Tim's stomach, knocking him back but allowing him to quickly recover, at which point Tim's body disappeared again and this time reappeared from the right side of Hideo's body when sweeping his sword in front and allowing Hideo to let go of the pole into one hand-hold and then struck it into Tim's sword once knocking his grip aside, but right when Tim landed on the floor with a right step, he quickly twisted the ankle and raised his left arm when spinning and roundly kicking Hideo into the stomach, who forcibly recovered quickly and with a straightened hit struck Tim's forehead, but right in that moment, Tim crouched when outstretching his left arm and sliding to the side, when launching himself forward and instantly quickly sweeping his sword past his right hip from the front of his chest, onto the left when Hideo quickly ducked and then noticed when Tim twisted his arm and quickly sweeped backward with his right arm, when forcibly bouncing his air on the spot, due to the provided force, right in that moment, Tim's left eye noticed a reaction once Codey's body came sweeping over the floor when hopping aside.

Codey forced his body to slide on the floor with his right leg stretched when quickly Codey targeted a sweeping kick into Hideo's knee, but right in that moment the pole was moved beneath and Codey hit the pole instead when Tim immediately frontly bent his right leg and sweeped his leg in height of his face when kicking towad Hideo, who quickly twisted the upper side of his pole and blocked both of the attacks, instantly Tim and Codey disappeared from the spot when Codey had decided to strike by moving from behind and swinging his right arm once throwing his boomerang at high speed.

With amazing reaction time Hideo spun the pole alongside his body, when preparing to block the boomerang, but right in that instant Tim stepped before Codey's body once Hideo noticed that boomerang was merely a distraction to force him to block, due to that, Tim had dashed right at Hideo's body when sweeping his sword outwardly, high up. Hideo raised the pole and blocked when he quickly hopped backward, but right on that moment Codey disappeared from Hideo's view once reappeared behind Hideo who was in midair and then caught his own boomerang, when quickly making a heavy step forward and sweeping with his right boomerang, forcibly spinning him on the spot when Hideo became quite concerned about their different fighting styles.

("I suppose they've misjudged my intelligence. I had realized that their plan was onl to distract me, but at the very end, both of them have readied for close combat... Interesting fellas.") Hideo quickly turned his body backward when drawing his pole past his chest from the top to the bottom when striking into boomerang and knocking it back at Codey, and with that Hideo landed on one leg, but right in that moment, Tim's gaze appeared in front of Hideo in which moment his eyes became surprised, Tim summoned a powerful force in exchange of his 'Spiritual Force' once sweeping his sword upward and with that noticed that Hideo had prepared a defense wit his pole, but right in that moment, upon the sword's and pole's contacts, a massive force of the exchanging hits outraged once Tim managed to successfully knock Hideo back into the air, luckily keeping any harm to himself, when a boomerang came sweeping behind Hideo's back and with it Codey had appeared, once moving both of his arms behind his back and fully throwing both of his boomerangs in sync as Hideo had been put in zone of two hits, but right in that moment, Hideo spun the pole and extended it when the pole managed to reach the floor and with it, he bounced just above the two boomerangs when Tim immediately covered his body with his sword, when the two boomerangs flew into him, but what caught Hideo in surprise was unimaginable event.

Tim's body has dispersed in quality of aura when he suddenly appeared behind Hideo and had his right leg raised high above in the air, when stomping onto Hideo's back and by unleashing 'Spiritual Force' Hideo went slamming into the floor, forcibly causing the wooden floor to crack, in which moment Codey instantly vanished beneath Tim and then dashed right at Hideo who stood up, instantly Codey swiped with his right arm when trying to grab Hideo, but before he managed to do so, a pole extended and struck Codey under his jawline in which moment it stunned him for a few seconds and then instantly crossed his arms before his face, when feeling a front kick, knocking him backward and forcibly sliding him on the floor as the boomerangs turned and flew behind Codey.

"Whoa, that was a close one!" Giggled Hideo, but right in that moment when Codey showed his left eye Hideo noticed a smile in his face, when Tim instantly appeared in front of him when catching Hideo off guard and then with it grabbed Hideo by the face, when dragging his feet on the floor when Tim's right eye glowed blue and made Hideo realize that he had been tricked, when his body was lifted and then swooped behind the line, when Tim smashed Hideo into the ground, behind the line when a powerful force of his body emitted itself through the battlefield, even surprising Elliot in return when seeing the difference of the 'Spiritual Force' and 'Spiritual Symbolism', and that moment the screen reacted when rounding an applause and a ring tone, Codey caught the boomerangs and relaxed.

Their time limit remained at 57 minutes, once Elliot dared to speak. "Are you sure you didn't gave them too much time?" Wondered Elliot, raising his head. "I have, but I have done it intentionally to speed up the process, besides they together could probably clear the entire tower in under 45 minutes alone. I have given them 8 hours so that these two known that they are on a time limit..." Zero smiled, with her arms crossed.

"I see, so you've tricked them, pretty much. You're almost identical to Ayuka." Sighed Elliot, when grabbing his forehead. "Yes, but not to worry, the first floor was the easiest, I believe 3 minutes is enough from them to clear a floor, now without further ado, let us enjoy their receival of the badge."
