Chereads / The Leviathan: Malice's Return / Chapter 29 - Set in Motion

Chapter 29 - Set in Motion

Yurie/Yasu: Anemos!

Yurie and Yasu's combo Wind spell flies towards Estrea but seeing it coming he easily dodges it causing it to hit a totem from Yurie's onslaught earlier sending dust and chunks flying across the Field.

Ryker: Emelia! Patch me through to Yasu and Yurie!

EmeliaSP: Got it!

Ryker: This has to work.

EmeliaSP: You're connected, say it quick.

RykerSP: Hey Yasu, I'm willing to set things aside for a bit if you are. We can't afford to do this right now, there's way too much on the line.

YasuSp: Yeah, till the end of this we can set this aside but I'm not working with you or any of that cheesy crap.

RykerSP: Perfect, I don't want your help. I want you to help Kiyoshi hit him with an Electro/Water combo. I'll handle the one on one and buy you some time. I won't be able do much damage but I can keep him off of you guys.

KiyoshiSP: Now that's what I like to hear, let's get this thing going.

Yurie: What do you want me to do?

Ryker: I need you to block his fire spells with those stone totems from earlier. I can't worry about being hit by long range for what I'm about to do.

Yurie: Got it.

Estrea: SHOW YOURSELVES NOW! FireBolt!

Yurie: Let's go!

Ryker: Don't stop no matter what.

Ryker dashes straight at Estrea covered in a White aura at blistering speed and in a flash lands a shot right into Estrea's jaw knocking him up and away from the others.

Ryker: Get it started you guys.

Everyone: Right!

Yasu and Kiyoshi charge up their strongest Electro and Water spells while Yurie activates her Oni horn once again. The officers charge up fireballs in their hands preparing to assist Yurie in her duties.

Estrea: You cheap little shit!

Estrea throws a small orb of lightning at the officers in retaliation but Ryker deflects it back towards him and fires a Wind spell of his to follow up. Both spells combine and make impact with Estrea but do no damage at all.

Ryker: I am your only concern now Estrea, this fight belongs to me! HAAAAA!

Ryker blasts towards Estrea at full speed and the two land in a clash of attacks. Ryker having the superior speed and skill is almost impossible to hit as he dodges nearly every single strike that Estrea throws. Estrea growing in frustration begins firing electro spells at Ryker rapidly forcing him to back up and evade them. Ryker now caught in a chain of dashes and blocks desperately tries to evade this onslaught but Estrea just keeps throwing more and more attacks the more that Ryker dodges.

Ryker: Damn it, I have to stop him before he blows up the entire battlefield. God I am an idiot for trying this but what the hell.

Ryker, deciding to counter this barrage of blind attacks dashes from side to side towards Estrea with amazing agility jumping over and sliding under balls of lightning just before they hit him. Quickly closing in on Estrea the attacks grow in size and number making it even harder to get any closer.

Ryker: Control yourself you idiot! HAAAA!

Ryker dashes at Estrea one last time, feuling himself with a wind spell beneath his feet that launches him forward at even quicker speed. Now barely dodging any of Estrea's attacks Ryker begins using his agility to its full capability and starts spinning Estrea's spells away from him by spinning his aura with him. Now even closer to Estrea, Ryker shouts NOW to Yurie, signaling her to put up a totem of Earth in front of him that both blocks some spells and allows Ryker to use it as a boost. Ryker launches off of the totem and slams into Estrea with enough force to send him flying backwards landing on his back.

Ryker: AND NOW Prevailing Stream!

Just before Ryker's spell lands, Yurie raises a totem beneath Estrea and launches him towards the attack leaving him unable to dodge.

Estrea: NO-

The combo works and Estrea takes the shot head on. Seeing this, Ryker launches towards Estrea covered in white mana. The Intervention of Wind Spear had activated and now Ryker's ability to move in the air had increased greatly.

Ryker: Now it's my turn Estrea! Try this!

Ryker lands a kick on Estrea's stomach to which Ryker follows up with an upward heel spike and then spins into an Earth Hammer that sends Estrea flying once again. Before he lands he is blasted with a multitude of Fire Spells from the remaining officers and is hit by another Earth Hammer from Yurie who had moved in to assist Ryker. Estrea now finds himself being attacked from all sides by Yurie's totems and Ryker's Wind Magic. Continuing this onslaught Ryker dashes in and spin kicks Estrea backwards, Estrea counters by blasting himself into the air with a fire spell into the ground beneath him. Recovering mid air Estrea looks down to see Ryker doing the same thing with Wind magic, in response to Ryker's aggressive fighting style Estrea throws 3 fire spells down at Ryker with each one taking a different angle to surround him. The fire spells descend upon Ryker all at the same time but he dodges them with strange movements. After dodging these attacks Ryker fires an Earth Hammer straight up at Estrea but misses, Estrea takes this opportunity to hit Ryker with a wall of fire that sends him flying back down to the ground slamming right next to Yurie.

Estrea: I'm impressed at how much faster you've become Ryker. Too bad you have to die today or I'd recruit you.

Ryker: Yeah I'd never take that deal either way. Either I kill you or you kill me, that's the only way this ends.

Estrea: My faith in you is slowly being renewed. And now let's see what you can really do.

Estrea dashes at Ryker much faster than any of his previous attacks, Ryker responds by simply moving his head to the side and countering with a right hook. Estrea dumbfounded retaliates with a spinning kick but Ryker jumps just above the attack and lands an axe kick on Estrea. Ryker then flips backwards off of Estrea but is caught off guard when Estrea flies towards him again, Ryker fails to block this attack and is sent flying by Estrea's elbow to his face.

Ryker: Looks like he's done warming up as well. Time to give it all I have. I'm done playing with you Estrea, it's time I sent you to hell!

Estrea: Please do try your hardest.

Ryker and Estrea blast towards each other landing in a clash of attacks colliding with each other. Ryker, still being far more skilled than his adversary is able to land multiple shots before Estrea lands his first shot. As the two of them continue to attack each other violently and without mercy, Yasu and Kiyoshi's spells are almost prepared and Yurie prepares to jump in to bring Estrea into position. Ryker and Estrea finally disengage from their intense clash only to dash towards each other with blinding speed over and over just to send each other flying away every time they clash until Estrea goes for an axe kick but brings his left leg up and sends Ryker flying back. This was what Estrea was waiting for and took this opportunity to begin his onslaught of devastating flaming punches and kicks. Estrea continues knocking Ryker all over the battlefield as he is unable to find the time to dodge or block. After kicking Ryker around for a while he kicks him straight up into the air and dashes up at him.

Estrea: It's over boy. SAY GOODBYE! Hell's Fury!

Ryker looking down at the beam of fire flying towards him knows that he had no chance of blocking it or surviving it if he didn't dodge. Ready to let the flames consume him he closes his eyes, waiting to die.

Ryker: Dammit, how did I mess it up again? I almost had him, sorry.

Emelia: Your life isn't gonna end today.

Ryker: Emelia? No get out of he-

Kiyoshi: NOOO! Emelia do-

Wooosh! Emelia at the last moment jumps up to save Ryker right as the blast makes impact.

Estrea: Hmpf. 2 for 1. I guess it's my lucky day.

Kiyoshi: W-why, why would you do that you idiot. Emelia what's wro-

Ryker: Try again Duke!

Everyone/Estrea: What!

Hera: That's all I had left Emelia, the rest is up to you.

Coming to the realization that Hera had saved the two from his attack, he realizes just how amazing Hera really was after having defeated his greatest warrior.

Estrea: The Ice Witch saved them? So the prince didn't deal with you, I'm impressed.

Ryker/Emelia: It's time to die Estrea.

RykerSP: Yasu, It's about time that spell was ready, what's taking so long?

YasuSP: Kiyoshi is powering down for some reason.

EmeliaSP: Got it. Hey dipshit what the hell are you powering down for? We aren't dead so don't let us die!

KiyoshiSP: R-right, got it.

Yasu/Kiyoshi: HAAAAAA!

Ryker: Stay back and prepare your strongest attack Emelia, I've got a feeling it's time I used my Intervention to its fullest potential.
