As the Gas pumps explode Kiyoshi bursts through the top of the flames and hits the Leviathan with Lightning Hammer, this proves to be a truly devastating attack combination with Wind, Fire and Lightning all hitting the Leviathan at once.
Kiyoshi: Well well well what do we have here? You know Ryker you really shouldn't have run off like that my sister was panicking until you let her talk to you through Spirit Speech.
Ryker: Thanks, nice to know somebody wants me alive. So have you come to help or are you just emotional support.
Yasu: Don't worry about us, I have this under control.
Kiyoshi: Is that so?
Malice: So are we fighting yet or was that exhale supposed to hurt me.
Ryker/Yasu: What no way!!
Kiyoshi: you know if you guys actually spoke to each other that would have hit much harder.
Malice: Allow me to show you a real attack that ants like you could never fathom. Takes Deep Breath* HaaaAA
Ryker: Look out.
Ryker dashes to block the attack directed towards Yasu but…
Woom. The incredible lightning infused attack seemingly makes direct impact with the two Warriors.
Malice: Wha- How.
Ryker: N-No way H-How did you-
Kiyoshi: Oh wait was that supposed to hurt us??
Kiyoshi stands there with bright and heavy bolts of lightning emitting from all over his body as his eyes change to gold, he remains standing completely unharmed with a cocky downward grin looking almost sinister. Both Kiyoshi's allies stand behind in confusion and awe when they hear inside their own minds.
EmeliaSP: You guys don't need to jump in he has this under control.
RykerSP: Are you sure. That guy just tanked our attacks like they were wet napkins.
EmeliaSP: Guys really, those were your attacks, they weren't his attacks. Trust me while you've been learning Martial Arts he's been learning new magic forms to become a Sage.
Ryker/YasuSP: What, a Sage?
Kiyoshi: How about you try that weak ass attack again and see what happens.
Malice: Bite your tongue you insolent anim- Puuugh
Kiyoshi dashes forward and lands a critical lightning infused gut punch on the leviathan and follows it up with a knee sending him flying head first into the incinerated gas station and out the other side.
Kiyoshi: I guess I'll give you the respect of using my Interventions full potential. HAAAAAAAAAAAA
As Lightning begins emitting massive amounts of electricity, enough to down the power all over town, He begins walking towards his confused and distraught opponent.
Kiyoshi: You know you really should have waited a bit longer before showing ugly face to the world, I bet being asleep for so long has messed with that magnificent power of yours. I mean seriously what were you thinking, Provoking two Knights on your first week back to the waking world.
Malice: Your right. Begins walking towards his approaching opponent*. Being asleep so long has weakened me by a rather large margin. If I had waited just one more week my power would have doubled from what it is now.
Kiyoshi: Huh, well I can't go and let you do that can I now. If that happens you might actually be worth my effort, which is something I'd rather not deal with.
Malice: So you are the Knight of Light I was told to look out for I'm guessing?
Kiyoshi: Damn right, you better remember it and don't ever forget it.
Malice: I don't think it will be worth remembering so don't expect to be in the history books.
Kiyoshi: well then I'll just beat it into your head until you never dare say it aloud again.
Malice: It's cocky people like you that annoy me so much, people like you that make me almost wish I could go back to sleep for a few thousand years to escape your annoying comments.
Kiyoshi: I can help you out with that, I'll just give you a dirt nap so you never have to hear us again.
Malice: Grins
Kiyoshi: Grins
Kiyoshi/Malice: HAAAAAAAAAA!
Kiyoshi and Malice dash at each other and clash in a magnificent explosion of power rivaling the blast Hera would release just moments from now.
EmeliaSP: Now Ryker/Yasu charge up to your absolute full power and hit em with your strongest attacks.
Ryker: Ok, you ready Yasu?
Yasu: Not a chance, I'd rather bet on Kiyoshi winning than help if it means working with you.
EmeliaSP: Zip it with your attitudes and just do it dammit.
Yasu: Ugh fine but just this time.
EmeliaSP: That's more like it. I'm gonna come and help you two out with that.
Zip. Emelia lands right next to the boys from above them.
In front of them they witness an incredible battle of pure, raw might and magic.
Kiyoshi and the Leviathan are both pushing themselves up to full power and are almost equal to each other. Kiyoshi's EMP Intervention makes him almost immune to the Leviathans attacks because he too is a lightning Mage. Kiyoshi shows his blistering speed when using his Intervention as he is jumping from transformer to transformer slowly regenerating his mana back to full. Both of them are totally equal in speed with the Leviathan having the Intervention of Wind Spear allowing him to suffer no wind drag whereas Kiyoshi uses his lighting to boost himself off of power lines covered in the electricity flowing through them. Trading blows and Zipping around the battlefield it's made clear that skill-wise the Leviathan is definitely ahead of his opponent but Kiyoshi has so many small advantages on his side that these odds level each other out. The two warriors go blow for blow with each other over and over for what seems like an eternity but seems to end almost as quickly as the warriors themselves.
Kiyoshi: Let's finish this HAAAAAAAAAA!
The two dash at each other at full speed and power throwing everything they have into this final attack.
Kiyoshi: Holy Spear!!!!
Malice: Absolute Zero!!!
The two attacks crash into each other and a struggle ensues between the two of them, Struggling back and forth bolts of lightning fly all over the battlefield shattering the few remaining windows, incinerating trees and furniture. These two Warlock Class Spells hit each other with incredible force. Shards of Ice and Super fast droplets of water fly all over the place sticking into cars and even concrete. But even though Kiyoshi was an incredible Knight and one of the strongest warriors in that entire region, he was slowly being overpowered by the all powerful Leviathan. Suddenly Ryker and Yasu appear next to their comrade.
Ryker: You didn't think we would just sit back did you
Yasu: You can't expect me to let you have all the fun.
Kiyoshi: I've got this just get out of here.
Ryker: Let us help you, you did all you could alone. Besides, three heads thinking together is better than one. Wait is that how you say it?
Kiyoshi: Alright let's do this.
Ryker/Yasu/Kiyoshi: HAAAAAAAA!!
Ryker: Prevailing Stream!!!
Yasu: Hell's Fury!!!
Kiyoshi: Holy Spear!!!
The three attacks fly towards Malice and completely overtake him from all sides causing a beautiful explosion of varying tones to overtake the battlefield.
Yasu: Did we get him?
Ryker: Don't trigger anything please.
Kiyoshi: What's that supposed to mean?
Malice: Heh, it would seem my body is still just as durable as the good old days.
The smoke clears to reveal an only moderately injured Leviathan of Malice.
Malice: My servant, I demand your presence!
Nothing happens much to the Leviathans dismay.
Malice: Hmmm, looks like he's caught up in another matter. He will be punished for ignorance later. I will be seeing the rest of you very soon. When the time comes, I will make sure you all suffer greatly for your sins. Good day to you.
Yasu: Not a chance, you monster. HaaaaaaaaAAAA FireBolt!!!
Yasu strikes the Leviathan again with the last of his remaining mana. As the smoke clears the warriors see a laughing Leviathan Slowly descending into a pool of Shadow Magic beneath him.
Ryker: Damn, he really is a tank isn't he.
Yasu: I guess he was still just as tough as he was before he was sealed, he just couldn't access his full power yet.
Yasu feels his legs getting weaker with every second he stands there. He was suffering from mana deprivation.
Kiyoshi: Woah hey, take it easy.
Yasu falls to his knees exhausted after using up all of his mana, Kiyoshi would follow this shortly after, also collapsing.
Kiyoshi: I guess we really did push ourselves to the edge.
Ryker: Looks like you did a bit more than that.
Yasu/Kiyoshi: Shut it.
Yasu angrily*: Well why aren't you collapsing, You pushed yourself just as much as us?
Ryker: Oh yeah umm, Kiyoshi's sister kinda healed me after the fight.
Kiyoshi: She did huh? And why didn't you he- Where is she?
Emelia: Up here
The three warriors look up to see Emelia and Yurie falling from the sky down in front of them.
Kiyoshi: Would you care to explain to me why you healed him instead of me Sis?
Emelia: because he required the lowest amount of mana to heal.
Yasu: You hear that? You're still the weakest.
Ryker: I don't need a walking forest fire to tell me how weak I am.
Yasu: You litt-. I don't have the patience to deal with someone as dumb as you.
And so they had narrowly survived the first encounter with The Great Duke of Pride and his Unholy Master The Leviathan of Malice.
