Flat-Brim Samurai Chapter 39

Devan hit Apollo with another hit but Apollo blocked with his arm, still causing him to receive damage. Apollo activated Art: Memory Amplification, Telekinesis, Sense Enhance and reinforce to increase his power to match his foe. This group of Arts were combined together in what is now called Art: Battle Mode. His ki filled his body with power as his green aura released, revealing all that he's done to improve himself. He finally counterattacked with a one two combo, Devan fell to the ground. Apollo thought Devan was receiving a lot of damage from those two blows he sent but when he hit the ground he put his hands behind his shoulders and pushed off, kicking his feet into Apollo face BAAAAAM.

He then walked on his hands and kept kicking Apollo, dealing incrementally more damage the more he walked towards him. Apollo was eventually able to put his hands out in front and heal his face. Apollo then squatted down and bolted towards his back and twisted around to take back control. He tried to lock in the legs but unfortunately Devan was too skillful and blocked it by laying on his side and scooting out immediately and then did a backflip into a roundhouse aimed at Apollo's head BOOOM.

Apollo's head hit the concrete, breaking his nose, and he faded for just a millisecond. When he got back up, he realized what Devan's technique was ,"You control the air and wind so that you have no air resistance to push against. THAT'S WHY I'VE BEEN FEELING NO AIR PRESSURE OR HEAT BUILDUP AROUND YOU WHEN YOU ATTACK!!!" ,"Correct, you know I'm beginning to like you more and more by the second. I use Art: Wind to control the air molecules so that I can attack as fast as possible." A technique that removes the challenge to moving to higher and higher speeds. He cushions the blow of his opponents attacks by riding and compressing the wind/air and even speeds up his own attacks by moving the wind in a way to accelerate his limbs.

Apollo knew that to win against Noah, this technique could be very useful to know. Apollo was interested in learning it and paid attention, jotting notes down in his head. Apollo, attacked Devan with a crescent kick and then roundhousing to the head. Devan fell into a cartwheel and landed two kicks of his own before getting back on his feet and ending the rotation with an elbow to the jaw. Many attacks were exchanged and countered, but Apollo started to understand the Devans flow.

Apollo began to anticipate Devan's attacks 

but since he was so fast and flowed so well, it was still too hard to totally keep up with him. Apollo's senses were getting sharper though, WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH. Apollo was dodging the attacks within a hairs breath, hitting Devan with a hook to the stomach BAM. This caused Devan to heave up some blood, causing him to be unready for the next hook to the jaw and a roundhouse kick to the stomach BOOM.

Both of them were getting exhausted to the point where they couldn't regenerate properly. Their sheer determination was bringing them through but Apollo was just stronger. Apollo threw a final punch with all of his remaining ki and hit Devan square on the nose, caving in his face… ,"That was a good fight Apollo… You know, I kinda want that to happen all over again HAHAHA" Devan said, lying down on the ground. Apollo replied to him ,"Yeah, anytime you wanna hang out or something, you're welcome to. You're gonna have to teach me that air manipulation you did though" ,"HAHA, for sure but only if you teach me how the hell you got that strong HAHA. But seriously, Thank you" and then Apollo walked away.

Right before leaving though, Apollo had an idea ,"Cias, can you use Recovery and Imbue to heal him? I don't know if it'll work but that's the only thought I had in order to fix him up." Cias, confused but intrigued, said ,"Maybe that's how your mother healed you, I'll try it" and then activated both Art: Recovery and Imbue. Devan's wounds were closing and his vitality was going back to normal amounts. Since he tried it on Devan, Cias tried it next on Apollo, which brought his physical state back to normal as well. Apollo and Cias started to walk away as Devan said ,"Yo guys, wait up!!!" Picking up his boombox and starting up a techno song, he then ran over and walked with Apollo and Cias. A new friend was made on that day.
