The ancient elven king laughed as he ran towards the shadowclones. As the elven king reached the clones, it took on a weird stance. "Lotus Dance," the ancient elven king roared as he kept vanishing and appearing at different places.
The clones kept turning into puffs of smoke as he moved past them. Rowan got slightly anxious as he closed in on him. He placed his hands together and created fifty more shadowclones. He immediately jumped into the air and tried tracking the ancient elven king.
Rat, Rabbit, Dog, Wind Style: Vacuum Bullets. The bullets shot towards the elven king but it always missed him by a few seconds. Rowan fell back to the ground and suddenly saw something jump in the air too. Upon a closer look, he saw that it was the ancient elven king.
"My turn," the ancient elven king said as a pink aura appeared around him. Rowan's told him to run as fast as he can. The elven king pointed his sword at Rowan and his clones and said, "Lotus Petal Rain."
The pink aura separated into hundreds of small pink lights before shooting at the clones at the front before making its way to the back where Rowan was. The ancient elven king finished off everything in front of him before returning to the ground.
All he could see was puffs of smoke and he blew it all away. Unfortunately, there was nothing for him to see. The clones were gone and there was no Rowan in sight. 'Did I go too far,' thought the ancient elven king as he looked at his surroundings.
Suddenly, he felt something grab his feet and pulling him knee-deep into the ground. The ground in front of him opened and Rowan appeared with a ball of chakra in his hand. There was even a bit of wind chakra infused but no a lot.
Rowan smashed the small ball into the ancient elven king's chest which sent him spiralling into the spider webs and even smashing through it before exploding. Not waiting to see the result of the explosion, Rowan took out two shuriken and blew wind chakra into them.
Vacuum Blade Technique. The shuriken spun fast as a giant wind blade appeared around them. Rowan was just in time to see the ancient elven king emerging from the clouds of dust created by the explosion. There was a slight hole in the elven king's chest but he still moved.
Rowan threw the two Vacuum Blade shuriken at the ancient elven king. The shuriken was so fast that the elven king had trouble avoiding them. He managed to dodge the first one but the second one sliced off his left arm like it was nothing.
The two Vacuum Blade shuriken sliced through the wall of the arena and went off in the distance. The elven king held his sword above his head and it's blade turned pink. Rowan could feel the energy coming from it but he wasn't going to run this time. He also held the Kusanagi Sword above his head.
"Lotus Bloom" "Wind Style: New Moon Slash". Both Rowan and the ancient elven king slashed out with their swords which sent out two projectiles. One of the projectiles were pink and looked like it could cut through anything.
The other one was barely visible but one could feel it slicing through the air. The two projectiles met in the middle and their clash caused the whole arena to shake. The two projectiles began fusing together and exploded.
The explosion was so strong that the shockwaves sent Rowan flying into the spider webs. Luckily, the explosion didn't last long but coming through the dust, that was left from the explosion, was the ancient elven king.
"Lotus Dance!" the ancient elven king roared before vanishing and appearing in front of Rowan. His sword moved to Rowan's neck and cut into it before stopping. Rowan couldn't help but swallow a bit of saliva that was building up in his mouth.
"Your two minutes are over," the ancient elven king said before removing the sword from Rowan's neck. He could feel a bit of blood travelling down his neck but he was just too happy to have survived. He was literally on the verge of death.
The ancient elven king murmured a few words in a weird language before placing his hand on Rowan's forehead. Rowan's conscious slipped and he found himself in a white room. In front of him was Steve and next to Steve was the ancient elven king.
"At first I didn't want to give you my power since you aren't an elf but you did manage to beat the test. Not to mention the fact that you are God's champion," the ancient elven king said before Steve interrupted him. "He's my little brother."
The ancient elven king got an even bigger shock and continued, "You are more than qualified to gain my power. It's nothing fancy like special techniques or whatnot. It's my body. You will inherit the body of me, the ancient elven king."
Rowan's vision became dark and he could see nothing. "Oh yeah, one more thing." He could still faintly hear the voice of the ancient elven king. He could also feel the stickiness of the spider webs on his back. "You better brace yourself for the next part."
A pain shot through Rowan's brain. It moved from his brain to his head. From his head, it moved on to his torso and spread to the rest of his body. Even his soul was burning. He could feel his body being broken down to small pieces and being reassembled.
Rowan tried to keep himself from screaming as his body got reconstructed. He bit his lip and tasted the blood but nothing could distract him from the pain he was feeling. He couldn't take it anymore and started screaming. It helped for a bit but the pain got even worse.
Rowan felt his body loosen from the spider webs and falling to the ground but not even that was as painful as the pain he was in now. He didn't know how much time passed when the pain stopped but he could barely move and fell asleep.
