BOOM!!!!!
CLANG!!!!
CLING!!!!
SHIN!!!!!!
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The battle between Ais and other two kept on becoming more and more intense. Neither party getting any upper hand. Whenever Ais was about to overpower Ryuu Shun, Ryota Uchiha always interfered and prevent Ais from doing so.
CLANG!!!!
Ais parried another Ryuu Shun and jumped back instead of following up.
BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Giant skeleton arm punched at her previous spot. Ais still ignored Ryota Uchiha and kept on attacking Ryuu Shun. She was only delaying him. Because she knew Ryota Uchiha can't kept on using his Susanoo for so long. Why? Because Ryota Uchiha eyes were releasing the stream of blood. What he had was "Mangekyō Sharingan" not "Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan". So, he had to face the side-effects of using it.
It's not that he didn't want to evolve his "Mangekyō Sharingan" to "Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan", it's just that the price of "Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan" was just too costly. He hadn't earned that many points yet. On top of that, he needed to constantly use his points to get rid of the blindness while using his "Mangekyō Sharingan". His heart was bleeding as he saw how his points were constantly being consumed.
Ryota Uchiha: Tch. Amaterasu.
FWOOSH!!!!
SSS!!!!!!!!
CRACKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ais moved away from her spot and dodged them again.
Ryota Uchiha: Amaterasu. Amaterasu. Amaterasu. Amaterasu...…
One-by-one Ryota Uchiha kept on throwing his black flames. Ais frowned and had no choice but to leave Ryuu Shun for now and concentrate on dodging those black flames. This kept on going for some time. Ais finally jumped back and dodged one more flame which was now burning the ground in front of her.
Ryota Uchiha: I GOT YOU NOW.
Hearing his words, Ais looked around and found herself in the middle of the black flames. The black flames were all around her and were covering a lot of distance. Ais was in the center of it with all her retreating routes got cut-off.
Ryota Uchiha: DIE. INFERNO STYLE: FLAME CONTROL.
As if they had received the order. All the black flames around the Ais moved towards her. And soon she got completely engulfed by them.
CRACKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIZZLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Entire battlefield became silent. Now the only thing that could be heard in the battlefield was the sound of fire burning. Neither Ryuu Shun nor Ryota Uchiha let their guard down yet. Their eyes were constantly looking at spectator in front. They remained looking at the black flames for some time and finally took a sigh of relief when they saw no movements in them.
THUD!!!!
Ryota Uchiha: Guah!!!!!!!!
Ryota Uchiha fell on his knees as his Susanoo disappeared. Next, he covered his eyes since he was feeling severe pain in them. Using "Amaterasu" non-stop and then using "Inferno Style: Flame Control" really did numbers on him. Last but not the least, he was also using Susanoo. So, it's not that surprising that he became like this.
After few seconds when the pain decreased somewhat, he looked at the side. In other people eyes, there was nothing, but Ryota Uchiha could see a panel like thing there. That was showing his status and current points. Seeing how much points he had left, he felt like crying. He had to earn a lot again if he wished to evolve his "Mangekyō Sharingan" to "Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan".
As he started to curse Ais, sound of shattering was resounded.
SHATTER!!!!!!
Then both hurriedly moved their gaze towards the direction of sound and became dumbfounded when they saw the black dome in the far away distance shattering like a glass.
Ryuu Shun: ...
Ryota Uchiha: ...
After they calm their emotions, Ryota Uchiha spoke.
Ryota Uchiha: C-Could it be that L-Lord Lin Dong l-lost?
Ryuu Shun frowned before replying.
Ryuu Shun: I am afraid so. If he had won that this dome would have just disappeared. However, it got shattered by the inside force.
Hearing this. Ryota Uchiha expressions also became grave.
Ryota Uchiha: In that case, that person must be coming here next.
Ryuu Shun: Yeah. But not now, maybe later. Since it still won't be easy for him to defeat Lord Lin Dong. He must also be injured and was trying to recover his wounds before coming here.
Ryota Uchiha: I also agree. But we can't face him now. Let's retreat for now. This world is so big. He will also take a lot of time to find us.
Ryuu Shun: Let's do so. Once we will find the hiding place, we will try to contact our guilds.
Both nodded at each other and were about to retreat when...…
GROWL!!!!!!!!!
GROAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
WAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They heard sound of the wind. Realizing from where that sound was coming, both shivered and turned their neck like a marionette. There they saw Ais standing in the middle of the black flames covered area looking at them with the same cold look as before. But currently she was covered by hurricane around her. That hurricane was like an armor which was keeping those black flames away from touching her.
Just when Ryota Uchiha used "Inferno Style: Flame Control" to order the flames to rush at Ais, she covered herself with a wind. Hence, it was the wind around her that touch the flames not the Ais herself. Then she just waited her patiently so that they both start to lower their guard. Then with their down guard and element of surprise, she had 90% certainty that she could kill at least one of them.
As a result, when she saw this was the chance she decided to use "Arielle" which could increase both her strength and speed greatly. Then she brought her azure "Lambent Light" in front and charged towards them. A spiral tornado was formed at the pointed tip of "Lambent Light" and a whole hurricane was behind her. Since she wanted to kill at least one of them, if possible, she decided to use strongest attack.
'Ais: Le Souffle.'
'Ryuu Shun & Ryota Uchiha: SHIT!!!!!!!'
They both saw as how Ais was charging at them. They didn't even have the time to ready themselves. In the end, Ryuu Shun made a final decision. He kicked Ryota Uchiha out of the way before showing sad smile.
Ryuu Shun: You know what to do.
Then he put all his magic into his twin blades and took Ais head-on. Ryota Uchiha wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Ais was already in front of Ryuu Shun.
Ryuu Shun: HAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryuu Shun let out a battle cry and attacked. Horizontal Slash, Upper Slash, Horizontal Slash, Horizontal Slash, Downward Slash, Upward Slash...
SLASH!!!!
SLASH!!!!!
SLASH!!!!!!!
...…
...
…
Ryuu Shun: STARBURST STREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryuu Shun put his everything in his "Starburst Stream". That's the only thing he could do at this point. And he succeeded in decreasing the power of Ais "Le Souffle" somewhat.
BANG!!!!!!!!!!
An explosion occurred once he once done. Still, the result was...…
THRUST!!!!!!!!!!!!
SPLURT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Azure "Lambent Light" penetrated his chest and came out of his back.
DRIP!!!!!!!
DRIP!!!!!!!!!
Blood was dripping down on the ground. Seeing whom she killed, Ais was a little disappointed. She wanted to kill Ryota Uchiha since he possessed techniques like Amaterasu and Susanoo which were a great threat to her. Nevertheless, she just shook her head and was about to cut Ryuu Shun body into two when.
Ryuu Shun: Y-You are n-not going a-anywhere.
SHINK!!!!!!!!
SHINK!!!!!!!!!
THUK!!!!
THUK!!!!
Both his twin-blades fell from his hand and struck in the ground as he grabbed Ais's arm tightly. Not letting her go. She got shocked and tried to pull back, but she still needed a bit of time to do so. Then suddenly all her hair stood on the end and instincts started to scream of incoming doom. She turned towards Ryota Uchiha, and her face lost all the color.
Susanoo had appeared again. However, this time instead of looking like a skeleton, it had an appearance. It had demonic horns on his head and had a long appendage on its chin. It also had a malevolent grin on his face. Yet, the thing which made her feel fear was the bow on its left-arm. It's right-arm had put a chakra condensed arrow on it and was pulling the string while pointing at both Ryuu Shun and Ais.
Ryuu Shun: L-Let's see if y-you can survive t-this.
A power was released from Ryuu Shun body and restraint all of Ais movements. Ais tried to use her strength and magic to break these restraints.
SHATTER!!!!!!!!
She succeeded but was a second too late though.
FWOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHIK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SPLURT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The chakra condensed arrow penetrated the back of Ryuu Shun and came out of his chest. But it didn't stop there and penetrated through Ais's chest too and came out of her back.
Ais: Hrrgh!! Ack!! Ugh!!!!
Blood came out of Ais mouth before the arrow took both of its victims away at a great speed.
FWOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They both got embedded on the far away mountain.
Ais: *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*
Ais started to cough blood violently and looked at Ryuu Shun in front who still had some strength left and was showing a grin.
Ais: Y-You *cough* *cough* wanted to t-take *cough* b-both of *cough* us t-together *cough* *cough* *cough*
Ryuu Shun: I-If...it can...…k-kill...…you...then I w-won't...…m-mind...….
Ais: Y-YOU----
Ryuu Shun: Looks like...you...… still had... some strength left...… I w-won't give y-you any c-chance...…Farewell...…
Ryuu Shun then closed his eyes and died. Though the moment he died all his remaining magic came out and restraint Ais again. Ais became confused why she was restraint again. However, in the next instant, horror appeared on her face when she saw that the arrow which was currently embedding her on the mountain started to glow intensely. She tried to move but to no vail. Then arrow radiated to the limit and exploded.
'Ais: My Lord.'
KA-BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was the Ais last thought when the nuke explosion engulfed her.
KA-BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another nuke explosion occurred at this time. Ryota Uchiha who didn't have much strength much looked towards the direction of another explosion. This nuke explosion was several times stronger than the one done by his Susanoo's arrow. That was explosion was the result of Lin Dong's "Eye of Ancestral Symbol" and Primis "Hex Rend".
Even the scale of that explosion was too big. A shockwave released from it even reached Ryota Uchiha location and hit him.
BANG!!!!!
Ryota Uchiha: Guh!!!!!!!
Having no strength left to defend himself, he rolled down on the ground for some time before stopping. Blood was also coming out from the corner of his mouth, and he laid down on the ground breathing heavy. He remained like this until the explosions died down.
Ryota Uchiha: *Huff* *Huff* Damn. Isn't the battle on Lord Lind Dong side over? What was that mushroom of explosion?
After his breathing became stable, he took a deep sigh.
Ryota Uchiha: Well, it's a good thing now that I think about. It's the proof that Lord Lin Dong is still alive. And now that I am done on my side, I just need to wait for him to come to my rescue.
Though, Ryota Uchiha became happy a bit to soon because in the next moment.
BOOM!!!!!!!
BELLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GROAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A giant tornado of black wind rose into the sky. He became shocked and looked at location. And in the next instant, he became pale, and his body started to tremble violently.
Ryota Uchiha: T-That's I-Impossible.
All the rubble was thrown away by the tornado. And in the middle of the tornado, he saw Ais. Dread grabbed his heart when he saw her. Ais had many severe injuries on her. Blood was leaking out of them. Especially from her chest which was penetrated by the arrow. She was completely covered in blood. However, what scared him was not her appearance but her eyes. If before her eyes were cold, currently they were emotionless. As if she was looking at the dead person.
STEP!!!!!
STEP!!!!!!
STEP!!!!!!!!
Step-by-Step she walked towards him. In her current state, Ais can't even feel the pain. She walked few steps before disappearing and appearing in front of Ryota Uchiha who was still laying on the ground instantly. This time, he didn't even see her shadow and Ais was already in front of him. He then tried to say something but...
Ryota Uchiha: W-Wait-----
THRUST!!!!!!!
Ryota Uchiha: ...…
Azure "Lambent Light" penetrated his chest and destroyed his heart.
SHIN!!!!!!!!
SHIN!!!!!!!!!!!
SHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She then cut his body into thousands of pieces to prevent any chance of him being able to stay alive. Once confirming his death, she finally turned her attention towards the explosion which occurred due to Lin Dong and Primis clash and dashed towards that direction muttering.
Ais: My Lord.
