Chapter 7<<<<<<<<<<<
He attacked. The flaming discs were powerful. Even my shadow blades stands no chance against it. But I already had something in mind. I dashed forward as the discs were still aiming at me. I made a slight wave as my shadow spread through the floor. As the discs came closer, I dived into the shadow.
"Wha-!!!!!. Where'd he go now?" somone said
"Did…did he just dove into the shadow?" Mia asked the guys, "Does he want to teleport somewhere?"
"Where are you newbie? Are you scared? Running away? You already said yes to this duel, you can't run now" he said, searching for me as he discarded the flaming discs.
You guys might be wondering where I am. Well I'm in the Shadows. The Shadows is like a realm on its own. Everywhere is pitch black. There's nothing as dark as it is. If I should drag someone into it, the person will go blind (maybe) when he looks at the light again. I only am the only one that can find my way on this darkness. And of course….it is endless like space. So….the only thing I needed to counter Damien's flaming discs was to stay here until it's time to strike. After a few minutes of waiting…..it was time to strike.
"Tch...are you really hiding you idiot. Come out and face me!!" He was really pissed.
"Okay" I said and sprung into action.
While he was searching to see where my voice was coming from, I sprang out of his shadow, unbeknownst to him.
"Take this" I threw three shadow blades around him, enclosing him in a triangle. I teleported to the location of the first blade and landed a punch in his face. I teleported to the location of the second blade and punched him again. I teleported to the third blade and kicked him into the air. Then I completed the attack and threw the final blade in the air where I also teleported to and smashed him to the ground with my kick. I dashed forward and stopped, my back facing him as an illusionary shadow prism appeared on the spot I smashed him.
"Umbrakinesis: Dark Prism" I said and folded my arms as the spectators cheered in awe. I looked at Mia and the guys as they all give me a thumbs up. I side eyed Kane, who was smirking at me as I scoffed.
"Arrrrghhhhh!!!!!!! Damn you!!!"
Damien stood up from the floor. He made a hand sign (i don't know which one) as he spoke.
"Arte del Disco: Tornado Perforante!!!"
He created a barage of small discs formed out of energy. He then released the attack as it took shape into a horizontal tornado. The attack came very fast that there was no time to dodge. What to do now? I think I know what to do but I'll have to take this attack first.
I crossed my arm protecting my face as the discs smeared my skin, leaving small cuts on my skin. When he was done attacking blood trickled down my arms. Damn! It was painful. But not much of that blood.
"Damien how could you do such a thing" Kay said
"Yeah" Mia supported him
"Oh please it's just some cuts" A girl said. She seemed to be in Damien's team.
"Cuts? Why don't you let me give you some" Derek tried to walk over to her but Mia stopped him
"The duel's not over yet. Jake still has a chance against him"
"Let's hope so" they sat down. I made a quick glance at Kane. He was looking at me with a look I couldn't even phantom of. But nevermind, my main aim is to defeat Damien. The only way to gain his trust is to win this to prove to him that I can stand a chance against the real enemy. I calmed down and sighed, closing my eyes. I opened them up and dashes towards Damien. We punched, kicked, dodged and repeated the process again.
I dashed backwards as my fists were engulfed in shadows. I punched the floor as dark shadowy chains held him.
"Chains of Darkness"
I ran towards him again and dashes, appearing behind him.
"Umbrakinesis: Blackout"
He immediately slumped on the floor, not dead still alive. This attack is not an offensive attack. When I cast this attack my opponent enters the state of blackout where he sees nothing but total darkness. Depending on how strong he is, my opponent can break through this state if his mind is also as strong as his body is. Unless he breaks through the attack, I alone am the only one that can return him back to normal. With this attack I can only buy some time for the next attack.
After calling off the attack after a few minutes, he opened his eyes. He looked at me, remembering what has happened he became furious.
"You son of a bitch!!!! How dare you do that to me?"
"Hey I didn't inflict any damage you fool. Just put you to sleep for a while"
"Tch....now let's finish this. I'm not holding back now. I'm going to use my first ultimate attack"
"WHAT!!!"
"You can't do that Damien that's against the rule"
"Yeah!!"
"How's that any of your business?.... This isy fight, I make the rules here"
"Wha-!! Kane..."
He just hushed her and cleared his throat. Looking at me he spoke, "Jake do you want him to use his ultimate skill?"
"Is it that dangerous?"
"Yes it is. When he casts his first ultimate skill, Damiens summons to huge discs. A wave of his hand can send a slash that can cut even through metals. If you get hit by any slash, even one of it can completely disintegrate you"
"Well said" he praised her in a mocking tone
"Damn you....if you–"
Kane hushed him and looked at me, "Well should he use his ultimate skill or not?"
From what Mia said the only way I could counter his ultimate skill is to chain him up again with the Chains of Shadow. But if he cuts it that would be a problem. It takes nothing but 3 minutes to cut that chain because the shadow element takes a lot of energy to completely solidify. But if I'm faster enough, I could attack him first and the duel is over.
"Ok here's the thing. If you attack me first, this time, you win. But if I attack you first, then I win"
"Good, you agree then"
"Jake"
"Don't worry guys. I'll win this" I waved them off to stop them from saying anything else as I faced him, "Well then..... let's get it on"
"Hehe. With this power I summon....the Bi-Discs of Destruction"
Two discs formed out of energy. Two huge discs. One was on his right and the other on his left. Wow....so this is what Mia was talking about. He attacked first but he missed. With a thud a big metallic object was splitted into two.
"Are you still fighting or should I...."
"Don't talk to much. I'll make it easier"
I only need 20seconds to do this.
"Rei come out!"
A big raven flew out of my shadows and screeched loudly. Ok you guys might be wondering, I only have three (four for my hidden power) guardian beasts. But she is one of them. Alphie is a hybrid beast of a raven and wolf. Rei is that raven. Rei is one of the servants of the Lord of The Shadows. Once she was sent on an errand. She met Alet, a wolf servant of The Lord of Lightning, and they fell in love. At first sight. Both Lords forbade them into marrying each other because the Lord of the Shadows and the Lord of Lightning were both enemies. But the two beings were madly in love. So they secretly met with the Goddess of Oath, Oanna. The only thing she could do to bond them together was to use the Body Bonding Oath. This oath cannot be broken no matter what. Even if they die, they are still bond with the oath. Alet and Rei both agreed and they were bonded. The Lord of The Shadows exiled Rei but the Lord of Lightning didn't. His reasons were still a mystery. But you guys might be wondering why I separated them. I met up with Oanna and set a time limit to this separation. For only 30 seconds Rei and Alet will be separated. After that time limit they go back together.
I only needed 20 seconds to attack him meaning that I still have time to attack and for Rei to bond back with Alet. Only 18 seconds left.
"Rei activate fusion"
With a screech Rei and I fused together. With me having her wings and eyes. With this combined power I can strike.
"I can't let you fly away you bird" he let out three consecutive slashes which I surprisingly dodged quickly.
"Chains of Darkness: Shackles of the Shadows"
The chains held him with no means of escaping. He sent the two discs after me. One thing I've come to notice is that Damien's discs or his attacks only happens when his eyes are open. If I put him in a trance like state, his discs can't strike. He will have to build himself more to be able to use his discs automatically without commanding them. 16 seconds remaining.
Time to finish this, "Raven's Requiem: Dark Hypnosis"
With a screech, Rei, in her essence form, rushed towards him. She spread her wings, covering him in darkness and putting him in a daze. His approaching discs immediately dropped after he lost consciousness. This attack is just like Umbrakinesis: Blackout but unlike this one, Rei is the one attacking. The first stage Dark Hypnosis puts my opponent in a trance like state. This attack can affect their brain and their mind. It might cause some trauma or psychological effects on the minds of my opponents, if their minds arr not strong enough. The second stage, Raven's Requiem: Phantasmagoria is more dangerous than the first stage. In this stage, Rei can generate taunting and scary images in the mind of my opponent. The possibility of running mad is very high, depending on the strength of my opponent's mind.
With that I won the duel. I had to smack his neck, knocking him out for real. I called back Rei and checked the time. It only took me 15 seconds to do this. I lookedt at the spectators as the looked at me, their mouths wide open in shock and surprise. With a cheer, the trio ran to me, hugging me tightly. I had won the duel. Luckily enough for Damien I didn't inflict any serious damage.
I snapped my fingers as he woke up. He looked at me, with his friends besides him. I saw fear and how terrified he was after the attack. I only used the first stage of Raven's Requiem and he was this scared. Who knows what will happen if i should use the second stage of the attack. He gritted his teeth.
"You might have won this time but I'll get you another time"
With that he walked away, his friends following him.
I looked at Kane as he nodded and left. Sooner the spectators went back to their various things as the four of us walked upstairs.
