[As expected of the Administrator's vessel] the creature said before suddenly vanished from sight
"Fast" Steve thought before reaching out with [Architect's Touch]
He had used this ability a lot understand one thing and that was that nothing was beyond his ability to manipulate, even the very atoms in the air.
Creating an invincible wall all around himself, Steve was soon sent flying back as he skid across the ground and slammed into a tree but he wasn't more injured than normal.
The Creature on the other hand, now had half a face and a head sized hole in its chest.
[You really do have good control over the Administrator's abilities] the creature said before suddenly flying off the ground.
"Shit" Steve cussed as he saw mana and soul energy gathering towards the creature
It was trying to reform itself, to complete its resurrection. Knowing this, Steve forewent his injury and immediately rushed forward.
Craating a massive atomic and soul barrier around them, isolating them from the outside world.
The goal was to lock him in with the creature while keeping out any extra mana or soul energy than that which he already absorbed.
[Smart] the creature commented before the earth began to quake
Steve didn't know what was going on anymore but he did know that he needed to kill this being before it regained its power.
Using [Wind Magic] to push off the ground Steve found himself flying through the air. This wasn't walking on an invisible platform, this was legit flight.
However, just before he could reach the creature, he felt some kind of invisible hand grab hold of him.
[It seems I have been gone for too long that even humans now dare to fight me] the Creature said before Steve was suddenly sent flying into the ground with such force that it nearly disrupted his artificial blood flow.
"You're… Really strong" Steve said in between breaths.
[Die!!] the creature screamed as Steve saw the elements leave his control.
He didn't know how it was possible or if it was even possible at all but due to the suits [Elemental Magic V], he had a constant connection to the elements around him but it was nowhere to be seen now.
"He's a better mage" Steve noted before he took a stance preparing himself for what was to come.
Normally he would try to evade but exactly where was he running to, he had locked down this space. It was just him and the enemy.
Steve saw a large amount of the earth suddenly go up into the air before completely liquifying to form several earth spikes. They numbered in their hundreds if not thousands.
Beside them were several icicles that simply floated there. Steve also felt the air leave his presence, it was slow but it would happen and he would have locked himself inside a vacuum.
Taking a deep breath Steve prepared for the battle as the large volume of spikes began flying towards him almost as though they were bullets from a gatling gun.
Steve jumped and ran while maintaining a constant barrier of air he had pulled from the creature using his ability.
Seeing the number of spikes reducing dramatically, he stopped and immediately took aim towards the creature.
"Let's see how you handle nuclear fission" He said as he slapped his hands together and immediately pulled them apart.
As he did so, a small ball of plasma appeared in between his hands, seeing this, the creature immediately coated itself in some weird bubble but somehow he couldn't tell what element it was.
Steve wasted no time as he unleashed the energy created by the fission outward towards his opponent.
Boom
