"Don't worry, they will be." Astral smiled underneath the helmet.
With a snap of his wrist Mike looked at him, his rings glimmering with magic flow. "Too bad you will be in pieces." In a snap Astral fell to the ground in cubes. Mike hovered in air before trusting his instinct and raising his arm above him to block.
'This can't be how it ends' The cubes fell from the sky as a burst of white light appeared. Everyone standing in Astral's area were scared as they lost. "This fight has just begun." Astral spoke while dropping his leg from above.
Breaking Magic Mike's right arm. Before throwing the three kick strike at his left shoulder. Connecting these blows he would drop kick Mike back further. He would get up away from Astral and smile. All of his bones cracked back into place.
"My mastery goes to the point where I don't need motion to use any of my spells. Or need to even mutter the incantation like you and your nuts would need to do." He said as a different aura was felt around him. More aggressive and more physical he would close the gap between the two launching a full side of punches that were being thrown harder and faster as the attack began.
Astral would launch parry blows and counter to match his opponent. Launching himself backwards with a tornado spell Mike would be in the air and send a meteor storm down on Astral. Responding by cutting each one near him, jumping at Magic Mike full force just for Mike to use a counterspell and send all the energy directly back at Astral, who would slam into the surface. Looking up to him, He saw one thing he could do.
"Get off your high horse." Astral would focus and make gravity tenfold for the arena. Something Babentuna was never able to do. Bringing down Mike who landed among a bunch of summoned pillows. Getting up he looked at Astral.
"Truly a wonder of a human. What a project." Mike looked to Astral as rings formed around Mike. "Amplify." The rings would glow red. His hair would begin to glow and his body would grow more mass. Astral saw this and pulled out his Muramasa. The fight gruled on as Magic Mike summoned himself a beam of light.
The beam of light was thrown at Astral as it moved relative to the speed of light. Astral ducked below it before sending a wave of sound breaking slashes to throw him off.
Mike waved his hands as a giant wall of vines appeared. He pulled Bloom's remains over and used it to block the slashes. "I stand impressed so far, ir is quite amusing that you believe that you can keep up."
Astral moved like a blur his armor glowing in its cyan hue. Bolting past him and being in a stance like he had already sliced something. A stormcloud would brew from above as hundreds of lightning bolts struck at Mike. Who channeled it into a ball of energy.
"Surprised? I watched you nearly die from the lightning and fire attack from the Crown Jewels." The static was making Astral and Mike's hair raise. "What's so different now?" Mike threw the ball back up as the beams of lighting would strike at Astral.
Dashing away from the bolts, they would home in and track him. Astral opened his hand to this and with a flash of light the bolts disappeared as Astral slid on the ground trying to get grip and stand properly, he felt tired.
"Still suffering from those human limits?" Mike mocked him as he slowly walked over, having two glowing magical blades in each hand. "Gotta be something more." Astral dashed past him once more, but it felt different. Mike turned confused as Astral stood facing him when he turned.
Astral raised Murasama as his smile lay invisible below the helmet. "You may be magically talented, but you stand a small chance if your blades break." Nyan hopped down and turned into the sword as he was held in the off hand.
Mike looked down lifting up the handles of the blades that were once there. "Amplify." All the rings around his body would glow as like the universe was feeding into him. Chunks of his arms contained within the bands decorated like the starry sky.
"You aren't the only power borrower here." His arm bands glowed a deep orange as he took off each ring on his fingers. Putting them on the tome ring as his hands glew like suns. Combining his hands he would forge a solar blade.
Astral dropped Nyan, slipping it through the pocket dimension back to Astrid. "Fuck." Astral thought of light, and how to use it in a manipulating fashion. Throwing a light disc at Mike.
Catching it in his hands. He realized this wasn't a power he had. This was Mu. "Kid, you will go far, sadly it ends now." Using the solar blade he swung down Astral's left side, it slid down seemingly not touching him.
The light had a burn mark in it as Astral's suit faded away. "Let this be a true test for each of us." Astral whipped his blade across his body as Mike blocked it using the solar blade.
Mike launched a flare of solar energy at Astral who glided around it. His breathing in perfect rhythm. Being able to see the movement of Mike. Astral then transferred all of his stacks into strength. Punching the ground, launching the rubble as projectiles at Mike.
He turned them into dust as they got close. Mike slashed at the left side of Astral, who vanished and appeared behind him. Stabbing Mike in the arm below the band. It did no damage as Astral pulled the blade out blocking Mike's next attack.
The rapid pace of swings increased from Mike, he only grew in speed the more his body acclimated with the galaxy. The strikes of each blow creating sparks lighting the sky.
Astral summoned another light disc sending it at where Mike stood to disturb the ground he was. Mike sent forward his arm as it extended. Releasing a supernova inside of the arena. The barrier contained it as everyone outside of Lone and Titan among the bystanders looked away.
After the dust and elements settled Astral stood still. Covered by a hard light box. Mike was still standing as his bubble spell maintained his body. His arm reeled back as he started laughing. Setting the starry mage hat on his head.
"This is where you are ended." Mike muttered as waves of fire came from all round. Burning molten lava filled the floor of the arena. Astrals pairs of wings would sprout out once again as he hovered. Summoning the bubble charm to keep him comfortable from the heat.
"Absolute Zero." Mike drained all of the heat making everything stop around him as Astral watched. "The bubble saved you from the sheer cold," Mike would walk up steps made by the fire. "But freezing time itself you won't be immune to." Mike thrusted the solar blade through the bubble as Astral's suit glowed, it was back to protect him from the elements as Astral flicked the blade away with his.
"Moving faster than time is how I operate." Astral spoke as he slashed off both arms of Mike, time slowly starting up as both of them fall to the ground. Gravity increasing heavily as they both decide to start slicing trough their problems.
The two clashed as their blades were but blurs. Each movement was critical in their battle. As one missed block or swing could mean the difference between living and dying. Magic Mike would go for the head in one swing, Astral would maneuver around him, summoning his shield and blocking the next neck blow while piercing his sword through Mike's Heart.
"Heh, you did it kid." Looking directly into his eyes he would start to laugh. "Behind that mask, you still will be the same man. I will show you many things to defeat him." Astral's head was tilted in confusion.
As the body faded it would flow from his sword to his soul. Merging the two and sharing all of his memories all at once. With his emotions flooding him he would drop to his hands and knees. So many spells, curses and summons all at once.
