Quicksilver
Kojo vanished the only hint of him being sparks of electricity that danced around him as he moved toward Eiden at speeds surpassing sound appearing only as a blur of purple energy. In a split second,his claws were mere centimetres from Eidens face. A Triquetra formed in Eidens Iris's. And he raised his sword.
" Allshende Augen Des Verehrten" he said , manifesting his inner realm. The thousands of eyes appeared and all stared at Kojo who jumped back. Avoiding the pillars that erupted all around.
Eiden charg f at him and swung his sword releasing a wave of energy. Kojo however bent back words in order to avoid and kicked Eiden back. He jumped out of the way to avoid fireballs from Saleem. Kojo jumped to stand by her side. The shared a brief glance,nodded and charged at him.
17 minutes ago.
Kojo and Saleem ran down the hallway toward the 99th floor where they'd be doing battle against the gate keeper.
" Ok so the Sekai Kengen spell has two forms. The first one is the Manifestation of ones inner realm. The second one is the compression of all of the Arcana of that manifested world into a singular attack."Saleem said." If he uses it. We're in trouble."
" How powerful is it anyway?" He asked.
( Records show that the attack used by the Estelle 7000 years ago.Compared to modern times her attack had the overall output of 5 Tsar bombs.)
" And since that time other mages have made it their purpose to attain that level or the usual BS that comes when someone sets a new record." Kojo said.
( Your being to calm about this.)
" Getting worked up is not gonna change anything. Just have to go with the flow." Kojo replied.. Sysia sighed.
" I lost the first time because I didn't take my Ops abilities into account. Now I know what I'm up against and I got back up." Kojo said.Saleem smiled a bit at that remark.
" Get ready Eiden,cause the Op of Ops is gonna serve you payback."
( Stop coming up with lame-assed nicknames. They make you like more lame than you already are )
" What's that? I can't hear you."
( Why do I even try) Sysia said as Kojo and Saleem burst through the door.
Saleem and Kojo danced around him attacking Eiden from different angles and taking advantage of the openings they created during their assault to bring him down. Eiden, his eyes blazing with malevolent energy, as he summoned a maelstrom of dark forces into his hand and slammed it I to the ground,creating a powerful wave of energy that knocked them back.
Saleem unleashed her elemental powers, summoning a torrent of fire and ice that clashed against the crystal pillars Eiden used to defend. Kojo was a bit surprised that Saleem could also use ice magic but he ignored and got close to Eiden engaging him in close range combat while Saleem backed him up with long ranged spells.
Their plan was simple. Br as unpredictable as possible,making Eiden used to their attack patterns and instantly changing them in order to confuse him and deliver a critical hit. Kojo for one used the techniques he'd seen used so far. He manifested a scythe and spun it around himself,trying to cut Eiden . Eiden caught the scythe and tried to slash him but he jumped into the air and manifested a flaming bow and fired a barge of arrows on Eiden. An eye opened on his left and he used wind to push himself out of the way to avoid an energy beam. Eiden tried to cut him the moment he landed but there was a loud clang as his sword hi a barrier around Kojo.
Eiden used the Urrsyn and realized that Kojo had made a barrier around himself,opting for an increase in physical strength instead of magic.hr raised his hand,a sigil appearing and was about to blast Kojo away but jumped back to avoid a swing from saleem. She made two daggers and charged at him with Kojo now being the one to support her with long range spells.
Her strength growing with each passing moment, wielded her wrapons with deadly precision, slicing through Eiden's defenses.
As the fight intensified, the landscape around them began to distort and writhe. The air was filled with the stench of ozone and charred flesh, the ground cracking beneath their feet. Eiden's magic spawned twisted creatures, born from the darkness of his own soul, which attacked Saleem and Kojo with razor-sharp claws and teeth.
The duo fought in perfect sync, their magic and steel weaving a dance of destruction. Saleem's elemental forces raged like a tempest, while Kojo's claws sliced through the chaos, leaving trails of glittering light in its wake. Eiden retaliated with waves of dark energy, but Saleem and Kojo dodged and parried, their movements a blur of speed and agility.
Elsewhere a figure observed the battle. Nefaria,sat with her legs crossed ,a demon appearing with a tray and some tea . She took a sip and watched as Kojo,determination in his red eyes used his speed to richochet off the walls and pillars to attack Eiden who had difficulty blocking such an Omni directional attack.
" Is he the one you were referring to mistress?" The demon asked.
" Yes. He's quite something isn't he?" Nefaria replied taking another sip.
" Are you really sure,he's a mortal -"
" He's a mortal not if this world. And as you can see he's quite reliant. And he's cute" She cut him off,licking her lips.
" But what if the other apostles?"
" Those fools have no idea what's going on. This Atari Kojo is a loose canon that can be exploited to bring about a number of outcomes." Nefaria said." He's going to change the world. Isn't that exciting,Xappa?"
Xappa looked at Kojo through the projection. It's true that this human had an abnormal amount of arcana ,more than even most high ranking demons. But he was still human.
" Perhaps I'm being bias due to the difference in race and your sheer magnificence mistress. But you have never been wrong and I trust you judgment."Xappa said with a bow.
" Good. The last thousand years have been boring. If we want to get proper entertainment....." She looked at Kojo again and smiled sinisterly,her eyes glowing.
" It shall be as you wish" Xappa said collecting the cup and putting it on the tray and walking away.
" Still what qualities does a mere human have that has caught the attention of one of our progenitors" Xappa wondered as he walked out of the room,the screams of the damned greeting him as the gates closed.
The battle raged on, the three combatants exchanging blows that shook the tower causing the people outside to question what was going on as the clouds began to spiral again and the earth trembled.
Fractured Psyche
Accelerant
Elemental Fusion
Iron Fortress
...
Kojo began to use the various skills he'd acquired,his mind becoming a mealstrom of commands as his inner being swam within an endless sea of binary code. Magic circles danced around him.The ground cracked and split, spewing forth earth spikes of flame and But Eiden blocked just as a strong wind blew. An eye opened Infront of it cancelling it out but whios of water pushed him back. Kojo fired a blast of lightning but Eiden blocked using his crystals and redirected it at Kojo who caught the lightning into his claws and eyes blazing charged at him the two collided exchanging blows .
Stampede
Kojo made an army of clones that attacked Eiden from all sides. But the eyes within the World fired beams of energy that wiped them out moving around like the lights if a mystical disco.
Arcane Threads
Kojo ran around Eiden , tying him up but he broke free and made a swing. Just then a chain shot out of a magic circle and wrapped around his arm. He could feel his magic being drained. More of these appeared and wrapped around him. Saleem jumped and with a deep breath unleashed a powerful breath of fire that engulfed Eiden and melted the ground around them. Kojo cocked his fingers like a gun and charged a ball of pure arcana shifting through the color system from red to...
Indigo
He said firing it at Eiden who had just broken free of Saleems flames. He caught it but Saleem continued to breath fire on him from the other side trapping him between the two attacks. He tried to push them back with each hand but Kojo and Saleem increased the output trapping him inside.
Suddenly the attacks vanished and Eiden floated into the air.
" Time to end this." He said as a huge magic circle appeared behind him. Within it was a triangle with an eye at it's centre.
Come Fourth:Alles sehende Auge.
Jumped at him with such force that the ground he was standing on cracked.
" This is the end ", Eiden said as Kojo threw an ice spear only for Eiden to tilt his head and it to fly past. Eiden was about to to unleash the attack when he noticed Kojo smiling and turned.
" See the thing is,I could always defeat you,the thing is I ...hmmmm,well I didn't think of it till now" Kojo said.
Universal Negation.
Eidens manifest world disappeared along with his final attack.
" What?!"
" Yeah it's one of my skills,it cancels out all things I perceive as unnatural phenomena and eyeballs looking at you from all angles is hella creepy no matter how you look at it." Kojo said breaking the barrier around his body just as Eiden was about to hit him with a downward slash. And sent him flying outside the tower with a palm strike.
Unity Of The Soul
He flew above him and made an ice spear , electrify it with lightning and throwing it with such force it sent him through the tower
Unity of the sky
He folded his arms and used Spatial magic to increase gravity causing him to plummet toward the ground at ridiculous speeds,a blanket of fire covering his feet. He stomped on Eiden sending him crashing from the 99th floor all the way through the tower into the 14th floor.
Unity of the earth.
Kojogit off his limo body and beat the dust off him. He looked up at the huge hole he'd crashed through.
" Ok I think that might have been a little over the top."
( You think)
They heard the ringing of bells, signifying that the gatekeeper had been defeated. Looked around wondering where the melody came from.
Saleem appeared beside him.
" Hey Saleem. We did it. Why that face ,you should be smiling.Give me some." He said raising his hand for a high five.
" So you had s special skill,that could defeat Eiden from the very beginning and you made use go through that . When all you had to do was erase it." Saleem said as an aura of bloodlust emanated from her.
" Saleem calm down"
" Oh I'll call down." She said creating a spiked whip. Kojo gulped. Then tried to run away but Saleem caught him in a chokehold. Ignoring his protests.
The projection vanished and Nefaria dat there with a satisfied expression.
" I've made up my mind. I shall have you,Atari Kojo" she said
