Chapter 11 - Convergence

The shortest of the five dashes instantly at Plotify, a long white jacket flowing behind him and hair as white as snow. Competez, the man of ice, blocks his strike, but Plotify notices his arm getting colder.

Plotify states excitedly, "OOOO chilly 🤓 I've always wanted to fight someone with control of an element 🤓."

Competez, without wavering, continues his assault, shooting shards of ice at staggering speeds and pressing Plotify with shorter-range, forming blades of ice and slashing at him with unrelenting pressure. Competez gives Plotify no chance to go on the offensive. Plotify continually backs up, Competez swiping faster and faster, driving Plotify into the corner.

Plotify exclaims, "Oops 🤓 guess I should've paid more attention 🤓."

Competez, fed up with Plotify's annoying rambling, raises his sword, getting ready to finish the job. Plotify, in a tone of desperation, states, "Hey man 🤓 aren't you worried about your friend? She's gonna have to deal with three people at once 🤓."

Competez replies, "Natalia will be fine; she can rival me on a good day." As he brings his sword down on Plotify, he narrowly dodges the weapon but ends up with a small laceration on his shoulder. Competez, keeping up his unrelenting pressure, carries on his assault, causing more and more shallow cuts on Plotify. Competez, wanting to end the fight, forms a large ice projectile and aims it at Plotify's chest. He launches it.

An unknown voice states, "I didn't think I'd have to go this far."

As an aura of pure malice fills the battleground, emerging from the corner where Plotify and Competez were standing, the ice projectile Competez had intended to kill Plotify crumbles into pieces. Sway, recognizing this aura, turns around and looks in the direction, exclaiming, "The amount of times I've seen him do this, and it still terrifies me."

Plotify's demeanor changes; the usual excited smile disappears as he removes his glasses.

Out of pure fear for his life, Competez expels ice towards Plotify. The ice crumbles, and the area fills with sharp tendrils of ice. Expecting to see Plotify impaled on the ice, Competez lowers his guard.

An unknown voice states, "I guess against someone as strong as you, I can go all out."

Competez, the man of ice, feels a chill run down his spine for the first time in his life.

Plotify never had much ego. This led to him focusing on training his refinement, naturally leading to the awakening of his teleportation technique. Also, due to this low ego, Plotify created a fighting style that would still allow him to damage people even with his low potency. The technique that killed Haram involves focusing ego into a point, only possible with people that have high skill in refinement, known as…

'Convergence.'

Competez rapidly smashes his hands into the floor, encompassing himself in a ring of ice for the first time in this fight; he was on the defensive. Then a crackle begins, and it gets louder and louder until small portals begin to form all around him.

Competez hears the unknown voice again.

Plotify states, "You didn't think my teleportation was only limited to short and long range with my whole body, did you?" Before he can react, hands shoot out from each portal randomly, each hit feeling like a stab. Competez's body is punctured in hundreds of different places, causing him to collapse.

Plotify, placing his glasses back on, looks around and states, "Righty-Ho 🤓 I'm going to sit down for a bit 🤓."
