BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR

🌹A NOT SO SMART GENIUS🌹

No great genius have existed without a touch of madness.. Aristotle was indeed right in such case.. Ash was a damn madman..

Fools mate.. A move in chess which guarantee a two strike checkmate if playing from the white side of the board.. It only works one time. That too if the opposing player is an idiot.. Ash wouldn't call Damos an idiot.. Rather too much invested into fighting and nothing else would be more fine... And it was what Ash did to gain the upper hand..

Ash's best ability till now was neither his weapon wielding, nor his limitless reserve, nor his fighting skills.. It was his ability to adapt to his opponent.. Both inside and outside battles..

He adapted, slowly but surely he adapted to what Damos was doing.. First his skill, then his fighting pattern, then his weakness and now his end.. He adapted to all of it..

"Wanna know how I did it?" Ash asked the man frozen in front of him..

"Your skill was rather displeasing to me.. You were nothing but a fucking copy cat.." Ash said slowly wanting to stand up only to crash back coughing deoxygenated blood from the overheating of his nervous system as he held his stomach tightly from the pain he was receiving.. Calamitous carnage put a lot of strain on the users body which is bad if it doesn't end the battle..

Ash found it the first time the man copied seeing firestorm.. That was Ash's original technique he and Charizard learnt together with Sabrina.. The way the man copied the technique made him wonder about it..

"Second you amplify the moves by a total of hundred percent.. That was more difficult to adapt for me.. You released the energy as per your demand.. Thats why i lied when I said i used crimson aria at full force.." Ash raised his second finger sitting cross legged in front of Damos whose eyes were widened.. Not in fear but a strange suffocation he was feeling..

Ash was no idiot when it came to see what his own powers could have done to him.. The first seething tempest he took was of his own sheer power which dealt some heavy damage to him even if he tried his best to dodge them.. Thats why to see what Damos can do he lied saying the crimson aria was full powered.. The attack returned to him 60 times stronger..

"Also your eyes.. They were almost like an eye from an anime Hina and Diantha see.. Almost like the move copy cat.." Ash found dealing with his eyes more important than anything else.. Thats why he took his seething tempest to his stomach and used it as a decoy to end one of his eyes.. Losing one eye reduce the field vision by 20 percent and in this case it did.. Now all the strain of the battle was now on his right eye which gave Ash a massive opening..

The cut he recieved was neither too shallow nor too deep.. The sarashi tied around his stomach prevented his organs from spilling out of his stomach.. It was almost like Blind demon copying eye.. No matter what ability you use it will adapt and copy the move.. From the injury he used to exploit the man, he found only his accuracy and vision was reduced.. Not his power levels..

"Third is my own problem.. The second sceptile got away with the rings, my limitless reserve got out of control.. The ying and yang seal is a proof of it.."

Ash raised his right wrist with the tattoo of Ashura clan embedded in it.. The second the ring got away from Ash, he found his own power level increase highly.. At least by 60 percent.. That gave him necessary strength to fight the man again.. If it was for his past self, he wouldn't have been able to battle Damos without Sabrina's guidance..

"Fourth.. You messed with the wrong woman Damos.. Cynthia is my everything alongside other two.. And you know aura reflects emotions right.. That caused my blade to reach power levels never touched before.." Ash said throwing the sword away.. There was no need to explain this point to the man anyway.. He wanted to toy with him.. But what the man wanted to know was how he was frozen in his places not being able to move an inch..
