I sighed, I more than a little upset that I wouldn't be taught how to use the sword, or for that matter, any martial art by Caelus. It was frustrating.
"Well, it's not like I can't do things like help adjust your form and things. But for now let's have a spar, try and kill me. Use Blood Manipulation, exhaust all your Mana if you have to and use your power to it's fullest."
I nodded, while Caelus had an idea of how I fought, there was no better way to learn that to experience yourself. This would also help me get more comfortable using Blood Manipulation.
I began to alter my blood flow, enhancing my physical prowess. Then, I increased the blood flow to my eyes, causing the whites of my eyes to fade into red. After that, I began to Enhance myself using Arcane Enhancement.
'I'll hold off for using a weapon for now.. but I suppose using this will be fine.'
Then, I summoned my Cloak Of Darkness.
Caelus drew his sword, and held it infront of him. From my limited understanding of fighting, I could see openings in his stance. But my instincts told me that if I attacked, I would die.
"Good, you're not stupid enough to charge at me. Now, come and don't hold back."
And so, I created a large quantity of blood before condensing it down to a single point. The blood had been compressed to its absolute limit. Then, I made a 'gun' shape with my fingers, and the bullet of blood moved towards my finger tip.
Then, I fired it. My Blood was constantly being Enhanced with Arcane Magic. And so, it was much more powerful than if I had used Mana to Enhance it. However, Caelus dodged the bullet with ease, he wasn't even using Blood Manipulation to enhance his speed or sight, he was just that fast.
Then, I created a sword for myself, I shaped it into the form of a katana since I thought they looked cool. And so, I dashed at Caelus and we crossed swords. His sword cut through mine as if it were made of butter. However, even if the blade was cut into two, so long as I had Mana I could control it.
But, I decided to let go of my sword, and I took a step back. My instincts were screaming at me, telling me to focus everything on dodging. And so, I took a few more steps back, creating space for myself.
"You... you noticed what I was going to do before I even began my attack. How?"
I looked at Caelus, with a look as confused as his.
"I don't know what you're going to do, but I just thought that I should avoid whatever comes next."
"I see... guess your intuition is just amazing. You really are like a beast, you know that?"
Then, he dissapeared from my sight and reappeared infront of me, and slammed a condensed ball of wind against my stomach. My stomach exploded on impact, and so, I healed myself. My wound closed instantly, but I came across a problem.
That was Caelus, his fist was coming at me at a speed that was so fast I could barely see it. Although he was holding back, had I not been using Blood Manipulation I wouldn't be able to see it.
And because I could see it, I could react. I decided not to dodge, but instead I decided to slam my fist into his. Our fists met, and his fist crushed everything on my right arm. It pierced through to my elbow. As my arm was being destroyed, I began to throw a punch at Caelus. My arm was being regenerated as soon as it was destroyed, and as a result my newly regenerated fist connected with his face.
Of course, he wasn't very bothered by my attack. He just patted my shoulder.
"Good, anyways, let's get you cleaned up and ready to get your family today."
A/N: was out all day, so short chap.
