Just within a chain of actions a single minute has passed with Jay being smacked into the wall in a single minute.
Jay was slammed with such force that the wall behind him shattered.
As Jay gasped in pain due to the painkiller skill being off. Thus he could physically perceive pain once again.
Jay :
God dammit it hurts.
The Hero was not relenting as he knew if he stopped even for moment he could potentially throw this entire match into the drain. Thus he went for another sword slash.
Hero :
Light speed drill.
This attack was meant to stab the opponent deeply just as a drill drills into the earth with each second drilling deep till it reached the core.
Jay could see the attack coming.
Jay :
Metal wall.
The metal wall took the incoming attack and collapsed tearing through the wall the attack still continued. But it gave Jay enough time to react and detach himself from the broken wall and move out of the range.
The dust settled as two minutes in the Hero drew breath.
To gain the strength once more to take the path once again.
But that breath was cut short as three Firagna was launched in his direction He tanked the Firagna with 2 layers of metal wall.
And this time Jay stole the initiative.
Jay :
Sword of the elements : Lightning
And Jay with a blade of lightning once again locked swords with the Hero as his shield blocked the blow.
But divine or not lightning still passed through the shield and due to the gloves the sensation was mild but the Hero could still feel his hand twitching in random directions. As if his hand was bewitched by a demon.
Hero :
METAL Wall
A metal Wall spawned right below Jay and launched him upwards.
Jasper :
2 minutes have passed.
Hero :
Mana slash.
The Hero used mana slash twice.
Jay :
Metal wall.
The metal wall would be useless if used to defend against the mana slash as that would cleave through the wall alone.
But once again the wall was just a stepping stone for when Jay used the Hermes boots ability to thrust himself out of the path of the mana slash while the wall was sliced into pieces.
With a few perfectly executed flips and landed cosily on the ground a perfect 10.
The Hero came from the sky as the sun blinded Jay due to its intensity.
Jay was in no stance to dodge. Thus he had to block he took the Hero killer. And in a slanted position raised it high in the sky to take the full brunt force of the blade.
The Hero used the muscle in his legs to raise and curl his legs as he rolled in on himself and went for another strike.
The Heros blade rolled off the Hero Killer and as if it scratched there was a faint glow of blue emanating from the blazs not much visible due to the sun's intense light.
Jay counteract Ed him by exploding a Firagna in close distance. Causing mutual destruction. But the Hero suffered much. MOre damage than Jay. As he was in the closest proximity of the explosion.
McElroy :
That explosion happy idiot how many times will he explode things near his vicinity.
Blake :
Well for better or worse it seems to have worked out at least.
This caused both of them to fly away. This could have been handled in much better ways.
Hero :
Metal spears x 12
12 metal spears were spawned by the Hero who even taking major damage and causing his armor to take a heavy toll.
Jay who just got up from the blast. Was faced with an unavoidable metal spear which pierced his stomach. But dur to the light armor it did t pierce in very deep.
Within a second he erected a metal wall to counter the incoming on slaught of metal spears.
Jay :
Firagna x 4
From the side of the wall came the shield flying towards Jay like a boomerang and Jay grabbed the shield. Thats why the shield did not return to the Hero. But the shield began to vibrate and move away from Jay's hands as it was called over by its owner.
Hero :
Mana slash.
The name of the move emanated in Jay's ear as he does not ved outside the wall and the mana slash cut down through the wall. The wall was cut down very smoothly and if the cut down part would be touched a smooth sensation would run through the person examining the cut down wall.
Jasper :
3 minutes have passed.
When the match was 7 minutes one could take a small breather. But not when the precious two minutes were taken away from them. It lead them to a sense of urgency for they had to hurry or the time would slip way from their hands.
But with just 2 minutes or 120 seconds taken away from them. Made it a lot more frustrating if it would have ended as soon as you were too win.
Jay noticed the thing with the Hero killer that it had almost finished shedding it's skin. Like a snake or or any other being that sheds skin. Jay in the waiting room tried to remove the skin but he couldn't no matter how hard he scratched or tried to pry it open. It would only start shedding once the match started.
But it was of no matter it would be only two minutes before the entire match ends. And for them each action would take about 2 seconds for a action and reaction.
2-4 seconds for every action taken sometimes differing.
As soon as the Hero heard this his attacks were becoming more desperate. Instead of cleverly laid traps or strategies this time the Hero directly initiated close combat where he could occasionally use his shield throw to try to catch Jay off guard. But With each throw Jay ws getting used to it.
Jay :
Sword of the elements : Rockhammer.
Rocks enveloped the sword and formed a psuedo hammer like structure where when Jay swung it the Hero blocked it with his shield. Although the Hero was unhurt with some strain on his left hand due to taking the full brunt force and was pushed backwards.
Jay :
Sword of the elements : Scorching sword.
The sword was immediately set ablaze. And clashed with the divine sword of the Hero.
Jay :
Flame burst.
All the fire which was surrounding the sword spread out in every direction and caught the Hero off guard. And with the Hero killer he slashed the Hero and successfully stuck the Hero . Before he immediately bashed Jay with the shield.
The blow was light but Jay was pushed off from his tail.
Hero :
Ack, I won't face the same defeat once again.
Hero :
If it's going to be this way. Then I won't back down.
Hero :
I call upon the Power of God. The Power of the God of Light.
LUMINOS.
But no one answered.
The Hero was puzzled and confused.
Jay chucked as he balanced himself.
Jay :
The God of Light will not heed your call o Hero of legends.
Because they are DEAD.
Hero :
Then i will call upon the Guardian of Exidrsnce, Sein.
And no one picked the call either.
Jay :
No God will come to your aid today.
Hero :
Then if the Pantheon won't heed my call . Then I will call upon the God's of the land.
God of Lightning INDRA , COME TO MY AID I BEESECH YOU.
And there was a strike of lightning on the battlefield. Directly on the Hero.
Indra's blessing :
Lightning attacks have been added to the Hero's arsenal.
System :
The Hero Killer has shown its true form.
Jasper :
4 minutes have passed. Last minute before the match ends.
Jay saw the Hero killer as it now had turned Inti a much more blue glass like blade. The blade had become such that one could see through the blade. As it was somewhat transparent .
System :
Reality :
Reveal the Truth of the Tower.
Jay :
How am I supposed to use it then.
Came flying a shield and Jay flawlessly caught the shield with his hand for it to return to the Hero.
Hero :
Heavenly Lightning slash.
The hero summoned lightning from the sky and slammed it on the ground as a huge slash of lightning came and just like mana slash the lightning flowed towards the opponent and Jay took the attack. But his gloves had been torn to shreds thus he can't take the attack once more.
Jay quickly rushed over while dodging the lightning bolts that's the Hero summoned to keep him off. But he couldn't just run straight to him that would be suicide thus he had to run in different angles and trajectories to avoid him.
Until he was in a meter of the Hero.
Jay :
Sword of the Elements : Light.
He used the light element to conjure a great sword of light.
Extending upto 2 meters and emenated with a huge glow.
It was like the Holy sword of Light. It felt as if an Heavenly Shining aura was emanating faith from it.
The Hero hesitated as he knew he could be torn into pieces or burned into pieces if he didn't do something.
And as Jay's attack would hit sooner. The Hero called upon the strength of the lightning God. INDRA. Instead of defending
The Hero charged up his bow. As he pulled the bowstring made up of pure lightning bolt. And once again. He shit the arrow in close range.
Jay :
Not this time.
The Hero was pierced with Jay's other sword.
As a result the Arrows misfired leaving him intact.
As the sword went deeper and deeper into the cracks and pushed until it pierced his heart.
Jay had stabbed The hero with the Reality. And just as he did something unexpected happened.
When the Hero fell he cracked and broke into pieces of glass. And lost himself into void. everything including the environment, the coliseum, the seats, the people cracked like glass into nothingness and there was nothing but to void.
Everything turned black as there was not even a single ray of light to be perceived by the eyes left anymore.
Jay mind turned blank as it was not abke tu understand what had just happened.
Was this the reality of the Tower?
