Lighting was falling from the sky like rain, crashing against the area in which Sparrow and The General were fighting.
Sparrow did well to avoid all the lighting strikes, not one scratched his body; not only that but was effortlessly keeping up with whatever The General threw at him, though unbeknownst to the demon, the alien was holding back, trying to learn more and more about his new powers.
Sparrow slid his way through The General's attack, gripping one of his hands into a fist before gut punching the alien with all of his strength, although no damage was dealt to the alien or his armor, the impact sent him flying back to Sparrow's enjoyment.
" I've been dying for an actual fight!! A fight with someone as strong as me, a fight with raw power and no tricks "
Sparrow yelled to the sky with his arms out and his mouth wide open.
The General landed on his feet, sliding across the ground for a few seconds before taking in a deep breath, pull both of his arms back and hurl them forward shooting streams of lighting toward the demon who just smirked.
Sparrow would then punch the ground, gripping onto the earth below with his fingers, proceeding to pull his arm out, removing a giant chunk of earth from the ground, which he used to block the lighting attack.
Upon contact a strong burst of energy was caused and the giant piece of rock Sparrow was holding broke into pieces, giving the alien enough time to sprint forward, dash and land a strong punch backed by a great amount of wind to Sparrow's face, sending him flying into the air.
The General quickly stretched his hand out, clutching onto the air a bit, summoning wind which he used to pull the demon back just to then surround his left hand with a strong wind.
Sparrow came back like how lighting would fall, and his gut made contact with The General's fist almost immediately, granting him little time to keep up with it
" How can that blue face ugly bastard use sanctuary energy? "
Violi question, watching the fight take place from a long, long distance with Maestro and Oriano who had just woken up to his side
" My guess would be his armor, maybe it distorts the waves or signals sent down by the shield in the sky "
Oriano whispered, as the two other men just stared at him and then back at Sparrow who for some reason was enjoying his ass getting beat, considering he had a massive smile on his face.
They moved all around the field, destroying the ground beneath them and whatever came in contact or got in the way of their battle.
The General seemed calm, and Sparrow looked like the happiest kid in the world.
As the two continued to fight the ferocity of their battle increased, the speed too, although nowhere near the speed of sound, they were moving at a a speed slightly higher than that of a peregrine falcon.
Sparrow's skin began to heat up with the friction, with no sanctuary energy to protect his body, it started to burn, but from the look of happiness on his face he didn't seem to mind the burning at all.
As Sparrow began to increase his movements, his attacks became more impactful, every time he made contact with The General, loud sounds resembling the act of an explosions were heard.
To the three men watching, it was as if the demon and the alien were gliding on the ground.
" One, two "
Sparrow whispered none stop as he began to shovel his legs back and forth, which caused The General to look down at them in confusion; once he saw his opponent distracted, Sparrow through a long jab at the man's face, staggering him for a bit before following it up with many more jabs, which The General have a hard time evading.
In an attempt to push the demon away, The General charged his hands up with wind, gathering it together to try and hit the demon with it.
But through all the confusing shuffling , Sparrow managed to gather up a second to leap into the air and land a strong kick against the alien's cheek, cutting The General's lip, from which blood dripped.
Feeling pain for the first time in a long time the General stopped and looked up at Sparrow who took this opportunity to through yet another kick at the man's face, sending him back a few feet away.
Sparrow landed on the ground, his smirk still visible as steam began to emerge from his burnt body.
" I was planning on taking Fu's but, yours is perfect "
Sparrow said, smiling at the alien who carefully and slowly wiped away the blood from his lip, feeling his cheek a little, which caused him to flinch a little; he seemed to have a bruise on his face.
" I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I'm grateful to you, thanks to you I was able to figure out something crucial about my new powers "
As soon as the alien said that, the ground below him bursted into a bubble of magma; he started to release immense and strong heat waves.
" through our battle I managed to figure out a way to control friction, as basic science teaches us, temperature and heat aren't the same; I tried to change the temperature in front of me when fighting Fu, I made it so hot that I was able to create fire, but what I needed to control was the heat "
The General said as he looked down at his hand, and then over at the demon who just smiled at him
" You're telling me you can control kinetic energy? "
Sparrow said with a smile on his face as The General just stared at him, lifting his hand up and pointing it at the demon
" If so then you've made up my mind, it will be yours that I'll take "
Suddenly, strong heat waves were sent toward Sparrow who in response protected his face with his arms; his skin melted as soon as it came in contact with the waves, but he had regenerated almost instantly.
" Thanks to the battles I had with those three, I was able to increase my regenerative capabilities, to the point where I can still remain with just 20% of my being, and to add to my evolution, i no longer lose stamina; regeneration is now like breathing to me "
Sparrow thought to himself as he would then focus his strength on his legs, dashing forward, reaching his hand out to the alien.
The closer Sparrow got, the more his body started to melt; first his skin, later his muscles, and finally his bones.
The alien was about to punch Sparrow, but to his surprise the demon had regenerated his entire arm and landed a strong punch against the alien's face, causing The General to take a few steps back
" Did you think you were the only one who learned something from our battle? Thanks to you, my skin is now more resistant to heat, and much, much tougher "
Sparrow said, his smirk growing as The General just stared at him; even now, the demon wasn't aware that the alien was holding back.
