It's been 2 weeks since arriving here and.. Today is my first time facing a human that is actually trying. I'm a bit scared, that man wields Caliburn. Even if Caliburn is the younger brother of Excalibur, it still packs one hell of a punch. And that kid, he is not normal by any means. He has some powerful skills, and he was also trained. But, so am I, I am not the normal weak kid that I was. I am strong, I am a dragon, I am the warrior of Ophis. I am strong.
"Hey Kazu, are you almost ready!? Arthurs waiting for you!" Ophis yells from the training field outside. "Yep I'm Coming!" After I jump down I see Arthur stand up off his little rock.
"Hey Kazu, this is going to be fun. It's the first time I will get to see you in action. No hard feelings if I win." "No hard feelings. So let's begin this already." "Let's get away from the town first though. Don't want the civilians panicking do we." "No we don't."

"We are far enough." I say as I pull out my Glaive, Arthur getting the message pulled Caliburn out of its sheathe and we stared at each other. Slowly circling the ring watching each other carefully. I make the first move and burst towards him and swing my weapon towards him.
He ducks beneath it and stabs towards me, and I smack the tip of the sword with the butt of the glaive, then I spin and slash towards his neck again. He brings Caliburn back and slashes towards my spear and diverts its course before trying to kick me. I duck and grab his foot and try to slam him into the ground, but he uses his hands to stop me and swings his other foot and kicks the side of my head and throws me to the side.
"He. First Blood." "Don't get cocky Pendragon. Neither of us used any magic."
I burst towards him again with the same move, him realizing this ducks and tries to slash at my ankle, I jump and swing at him again. This time flowing magic through my Spear and launching it at him in a crescent form. He quickly gets up and sends his own, this time with Holy energy instead. Not giving up this moment I draw a quick Oruz rune on my fist to strengthen it, and a Haga rune on my feet to quicken myself.
He runs towards me an swings his sword towards my stomach, this time I punch his sword, shocking him with the force of the punch, taking the chance I get close with my speed, punch him again in the abdomen, making him throw up saliva and launch into a nearby tree.
"Damn, I didn't expect that. Whatever spell you used was one hell of a strengthening spell. Here, let me give you a taste of my own magic."
Arthur gets in a position with both of his feet together. With both hands on his sword, holding it straight towards the sky
"GOLDEN LIGHT, CLEAVE THE WICKED, CALIBURN!" Arthur screams before twisting his sword towards me and bringing it down.
Barely dodging the blast of Holy energy I run towards him again not letting him do another blast. He then swings his sword back and forth, each swing letting off a weaker horizontal blast of holy energy. While I'm ducking and dodging I write multiple Burka runes, giving life to the ground and sending multiple tree branches towards him, while he's distracted from those. I get up close and leg swipe his ankles and try to stab his heart.
He then bursts into light and reappears a couple inches to the left while swinging towards me.
I barely duck beneath the blade and push with my right leg, and I swing my arms to flip myself midair and kick him in the side. He gets launched to the side a couple feet.
"Argh! Damn dude. You really are strong. Ok, Let's go!" Arthur says as he teleports towards me, I preemptively punch the golden light, but I didn't feel anything. I then roll as he falls from above and stabs the ground where I once was.

"Haah… Haah… Why won't you just go down already?!" I yell, shaking my numb fist to try and get the blood flowing. "I could say the same! It's been 10 minutes, how are you not tired!" "I have stamina up the ass!" "Trust me I could tell!" Arthur yells, steadying his shaking arms. "Just go DOWN!" Arthur yells as he starts rapidly teleporting trying to disorient me.
I dodge and roll through his slashes, then I kick the sword out of his weakening grip and lodging it into a tree. "Heh. Fine, let's go. Time for a fist fight!" Arthur yells running towards me. I drop my glaive out of respect and run towards him. We then exchange punches, I punch him in the abdomen, He retaliates and punches me in the chest. We go back and forth for a while before Arthur goes and pulls out Caliburn from the tree
"This is getting us nowhere. How about one last little exchange, best man wins." "Fine then." I say as I go pick up my glaive out of the ground
Arthur then teleports and try's to behead me. I duck and kick him, only for him to teleport to the left of my leg and tries to slam the butt of his sword onto my knee. I stab my glaive in the ground and pull out my wings, I flap them to propel my body to the right, doing a 360 and slamming my heel into Arthurs side.
Before he gets launched he stabs his sword into the ground and stops himself. He takes the same stance as the one from before. "This is my final shot Kazu! Oh god, my merciful lord, grant me power! Caliburn, Cleave the Wicked!" He says, swinging down his sword blasting a holy blast towards me…
But he has already lost. I have been preparing for this fight.
There are 3 thing every basis of magic is based off of. Imagination, Calculation, and Creation. Spells are first imagined, then they are calculated to see how they must manipulate the laws of the world, then they create the spells. But when you base the spell of off thing that already exist, they become that much more powerful. Religion is the biggest form of such, such as with Caliburn, it is much more powerful against Non-Christian religion and unholy forces. But cannot damage Christian figures such as Jesus. Now what happens when you create a sentence of runes with that type of creation.
You make a spell beyond comprehension.
Gebö-Othil-Oruz-Isaz. Gebö-Othil-Haga-Isaz
Gift the Property of Strength to Ice. Gift the Property of Air to Ice.
Combine to create a sentence and add in the Ancient rune I just learned the day before
"Flash and Freeze! BERGADA Y COCYTUS!" I Yell as I swing out my Glaive. What follows is a Bright flash of light that destroys the area around me and blinds everyone in a half a mile radius.
When my eyes open up. I see something beyond my expectations. A frozen wasteland, with even the beam of holy energy being frozen. Arthur is inside a cube of ice, and the trees around me have been turned into crystal.
Beautiful. I have finished my very first unique technique. Based on the Frozen lakes of the underworld; Cocytus. With it also being the last and worst circle of hell. With people being frozen neck deep in ice for eternity.
The frozen crystal wasteland before me, my fogged breathe I exhale, the icy burn of my lungs. It's perfect… for now. I'm tired though. I think I'll sleep here…
*Thunk!*
Man… Ice isn't comfortable.
