" Are you guys sure y'all wanna do this? "
Shu questioned, as he held onto his left wrist, rubbing it while he stared at both Arthur and Ean from afar, they both seemed to be prepared for battle
" Yes, we're very sure "
Ean replied while slowly unsheathing his sword, the moment he did a giant wave of energy flew out of its handle, which would then engulf the sword as well as his body, taking the form of a blue aura
" Ok then, come at me "
Shu said, as Ean suddenly appeared beside him, swinging his sword toward Shu's neck, but Shu would duck down being met by a fist covered in ice, which he blocked with his arms, causing him to slide through the ground due to the force of the punch
" That caught me off guard "
Shu whispered, as he jumped into the air dodging a sword strike which was directed at his legs, with swiftness he'd then spin his body in the air avoiding ice shards which were shot at him by Arthur, who began to run toward him.
Huge ice pillars would begin to float around Arthur as the aura on Ean's sword grew.
" You guys make a very good team "
Shu added as he engulfed his right hand in a bright blue aura, proceeding to swing it forward, clashing with Ean's sword, causing a huge shockwave which created a crater underneath them.
With no room left to rest, Shu would be targeted by Arthur's pillars, which flew toward him.
Using the fist that was already clashing with Ean's sword, he'd use it to push himself backward, dodging one of the pillars, being met with another one from behind, which he shattered with a powerful kick
" I suggest you don't talk while fighting us "
Arthur said as he appeared behind Shu in a blur of speed, holding him by his head, proceeding to hurl him against the ground, creating a crater as well as making his body bounce back up due to the impact force.
Not wanting to give Shu any room to recover, Arthur would punch him in the back sending him flying toward Ean, who was prepared to meet him with a horizontal sword strike, but Shu, using his flexibility to his advantage he would twist his body in a way which would allow him to dodge the sword strike, and in turn land on the ground with a bit of difficulty
" Oof, that was a close one "
Shu said to himself, opening his eyes wide in surprise, as he had to quickly take a few steps backward to dodge an attack from an ice sword, soon he'd be met with a knee strike to his gut, which made him lose a bit of air before receiving a punch to the face which slammed him straight against the ground, all product of Ean's attacks
" We told you already, you shouldn't talk while fighting us "
Ean said, reviving his leg up, hurling it down with all his force an in attempt to stomp on Shu's body, but Shu would roll to a side, avoiding the back before kicking Ean's leg, making him lose his balance, which caused him to fall down to the ground.
Following in Ean's example Arthur would attempt to stomp Shu as well, but the boy avoided the attacks just like he did with Ean's rolling his body around very masterfully.
" You guys are right, I shouldn't take you both so lightly "
Shu whispered as his aura suddenly bursted, growing bigger, resembling Arthur's height.
The ground below him would break as he soon disappeared in a blur of speed, and with his disappearance came a weird but quick blur which ran all around the field they were in
" Damm, he's fast "
Arthur said as he looked around, seeing the blur move and bounce off around. Surrounding the blur was air, which engulfed it like water would a stick
" What do you mean he's fast, aren't you as fast as him? "
Ean questioned while holding his sword with both of his hands, moving his head in all directions, trying to catch up with the blur
" No of course not, if you're referring to the tournament, I wasn't nowhere near as fast as him, I was just predicting where he'd appear next——and since it was an arena it was pretty easy to keep up, but now he's everywhere, so I can't really tell where he'll appear next "
Arthur said, and as soon as he did he received an attack from behind, which made him take a few steps forward, then Ean would receive an attack, but to his stomach, which made him take a few steps back while holding his stomach with his left hand
" He's a fucking demon "
Ean whispered as the amount of attacks increased.
They began to hit on their shoulders, back, face, stomach, and legs, making it hard for them to balance themselves as the attacks became more aggressive
" Who even trained this bastard? Or was he this strong the moment he was born? "
Arthur questioned, irritated as he began to surround his body in ice, in an attempt to block the attacks, but the ice would simply crack, though, it did work, so he constantly kept engulfing himself with it.
Meanwhile, Ean had to engulf every inch of his body with Sanctuary Energy, but instead of releasing in the form of a fiery aura, he made it so that the energy would tighten around his body, like a blanket, and in doing so his energy shone brighter than it did before
" Oh, so this how Shu coats his limbs in Sanctuary Energy——it feels, really comfy "
Ean whispered to himself, becoming a bit distracted at his new achievement, but he was soon brought back to reality as the attacks continued to barrage him from everywhere
" Ugh, I'm getting tired of this, it's about time we got out of this annoying situation! "
Arthur yelled, before raising his right hand up in the air, and with quickness he would hurl it down to the ground, slamming his palm against it as the ice began to emerge from it, quickly spreading around the field like an ice age.
