Chapter 11 - To die

Temple Gaurdian Falcon Farstrider is treating this battke like a sparring match with an initate at the village. By thinking of him as someone who is testing for Gaurdianship she feels less inclined to kill him and It is the only why she has managed to keep her temper in check. After all he is not even doing that much damaged. She is surprised at his level of combat skill most level fives do have much effective combat experience. He fights well thou awkwardly like he expects his body to be able to do more than it currently is. His particular style of fighting is rather unique, he keeps coming in close and staying too close to have a sword fight. She could cast a pair of wind daggers but anyone this skilled is either looking to die or has a trick up his sleeve. She is hoping it's the latter. Her master a Hand of the Magistrate has always said "Try to learn from ever experience." He is not a long winded man but the words have stayed with for over ten years now. Ten long years of being stuck at the Gaurdian level. If she can bring this guy in she will definitely get promoted.

Njuko flows from one thought to next, each thought becoming a feint looking for a gap searching, trying everything and anything, since she block his first punch, dodge the second and nearly countered the third. It's only thanks to his fast reflexes he was bale to move out of the way of he kick. She is faster than him but not so much faster that he can't keep up. If anything he can see her punches and kick she gusts in retaliation, he just has to react faster. Since one connected clean with his jaw loosing a tooth luckily not a moler those are a beyond painful to remove mid fight. With only forty health remaining he is smiling. Smiling and twisting with the punch into an elbow feint, she leans a little putting her off balance then comes a low kick which she dodges by jumping up. Now she is exactly where he wants her, if this next attack fails she will connect again probably dropping him. Half way through his kick he vaults into an uppercut, pop!

Temple Gaurdian Falcon Farstrider, leans back expecting another attack his movements are crisp and full of intent. Her punch worried her this fool is close death yet the way he is fighting is like he is going to win. She has to pull back more power she jumps over his expected kick. She could use a Gale force but it would probably kill him and she can't fix death only a Magistrate can do that. She is about to kick him when an attack comes out of nowhere landing right on her chin.

*Shock Shot*

- 56 [normal]

Njuko follows up his uppercut with a grapple like how uncle Aurto showed him. The sign came of when the body is hit correctly on the chin it tenses up, making the opponent unable to respond. The grapple is done to give leverage on faster and stronger opponents. His moves which is suppose to grab the arm and twist lands on shoulder. He wraps his legs around her chest just under the breasts. He is not quick enough with move so one arm of hers slips out. Njuko is committed so he continues to try and apply pressure on her shoulder.

Temple Gaurdian Falcon Farstrider, snicker's it's been a while since she faced a coiler. The styles of fighting is not really to her taste but the way he is doing is not quite the same as the others she has seen before. She thinks maybe he must be desperate any normal person would have sacrificed the arms and gone for the neck no matter the risk especially while having the back. She manages to wrinkle an arm free because his adjustment is done poorly. She was about to hit him with a Tornado slash but then she remembers her arm stopping midway to his face.

Njuko would have liked to go for her neck but then that would have left him exposed to her hands and elbows. Unfortunately in trying to get a proper mount on her an arm of hers slipped out. Now he has to work quickly with where he is her punches are really strong however if he can crank the shoulder the pain in the shoulder, should give him an inch to breath. He applies what pressure he can he sure it is not enough however her fist stops half way to his face. Njuko thinks maybe it an old injury or something. So he loosens one leg.

Temple Gaurdian Falcon Farstrider, breathes in then out. Whatever he tried to do at her shoulder is not really effective. She activates Gale force. An internal strengthing skill it is from the ring she wearing. Just like her armor they are Temple forged Mycra crystal. The Mycra crystal is what gives her armor the blue tint. With her new found strength she rips free of his grip. The fool dropping to the ground or so she thought. Having extended her arms out in order to break free she is wide open and he launches another flurry of these small attacks from his position it shouldn't even be possible yet she could feel three no four distinct shots into her back.

Njuko is planning to go out swinging, he thought she was going to use her spell from before to break free and in that moment he was going to launch his last flurry. Surprisingly she used pure power which only further confirms she is toying with him. Njuko doesn't care about that what he cares about is the challenge. His last flurry is a burst of three short left to her kidney's and back. The punches crack, like how walking into buildings sometimes gives a small electrical jolt. He surges too. She is turning however since the three punches connect his surge bonus gives him a boost in strength and speed. Which means instead of falling to the ground he lands on his feet. Dashing forward urged on by his surge. He brings her down face first into the ground and unleashes the reminding strength he has which is exactly five moves this is mainly due his stamina running out. With the way he leveled he still has low stamina and health but his attacks are getting much stronger. He thinks if himself like a Grachi spice all chilli no shell. Each of blows lands the surge is incredible from his position he able to throw snaps at her back left right left right. Unfortunately he didn't get any stronger or faster as each lands it seem he can only surge to ten percent increased sped and strength which is really since it means he is almost as fast as she is.

Ọya has been using the surge energy to complete script on Njuko bones. Unlike normal elements which bond to mana. Primal elements bind to marrow. This is to facilitate the changes in his body which will start with his blood once she finishes in scribing herself onto him. The ceremony at the church had really helped she didn't think people of this age still knew about liquid Mythinium. She has to work methodically especially since she is using active surge energy which tends to defuse script sometimes. Her observation of the fight make sher increasingly nervous which feeds into Njuko making more irractic than usually. The complexity of her script is the only the last part is taking so long.

Temple Gaurdian Falcon Farstrider is hit four times in the back and panics in her determination to not kill this she forgot the basic function of her. Recoil!

*Recoil*

- 300 [kinetic]

Njuko is blasted back, his whole body breaking apart slowly. The surge further pushing his body to splinter. The skin fails away. Njuko can only barely make her out as his eyes disintegrate. The muscle crackle as they fizzle into nothingness. His bones are laced all over with golden script almost ever part of him is covered. Just the inside of skul is left. He can sense it now in this moment before death he can feel everything Ọya has done. Njuko didn't realize how much effort she had been going trying to change him into a conduit. Her sending is desperate, he should waited until he got to level ten by then the script would have been done and such extreme measures would not be need. With his last remaining strength he sends all his remaining surge to her to help. Her sending had been one of terror and fear not of death but imprisonment if he does before she finishes she will trapped in his bones forever. So at least at the very end he can this one thing for her.

Ọya smiles at the fool he is such a kind soul...
